Google play store issue - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Well my friend has a Galaxy S3 GT-I9300(stock non-rooted rom). Now the problem is, since a while every time she opens Google Play it closes again without giving any warning or something. I have already tried deleting the data /cache of the app. Tried to install it again through an apk file of version 4.1.6. Also tried to reset app preferences in application manager. All with no results, the only solution I could think of now is to try a factory reset. She rather doesn't do that so does anyone here maybe have a solution for this problem?
Thanks in advance

Tell her to take it to a local Samsung support store. Or just reset it completely, it only takes about 10 minutes right?

True about the reset she just doesn't want to reinstall all her apps again. I'll just tell her to go to a support store then. Thanks for the response

Might help if you delete the account from settings, then delete playstore data and launch it and type account info again.

Don't factory reset!
I think I know this
Just try this : go to settings and app manager..and the all apps tab in that..
Scroll to the bottom...you'll see 1 thing is disabled.. Don't remember the exact name(sorry) .. But something related to installer..
Click on it and enable It
It should work.
Try it..

It is something which happens automatically I guess. Don't know the reason.. .. Happened to me too, this worked for me, hopefully it will for you too.

[Q] Unable to access Market

All I get is "your client is out of date and will be updated shortly"
Any ideas?
It has been like that for 2 days for me. Hopefully something gets fixed shortly.
It happened to me earlier today. It started working again within minutes (less than five)

yes - it doesn't help ...
Happened to me, I noticed it last night and when I woke up this morning I got a notification saying that my android market was updated...so I will assume that they were both related. And now I am able to get back into the market.

"Don't work"? Could you be a little more descriptive? What do you mean when you say they don't work?

I just reinstalled the slimbean rom and downloaded JB+ camera and i am also all good now....many thanks...
If you don't flash the Gapps that are in the OP, like the OP says you should do, the camera won't be there.
Thank you for all the hard work and the great ROMS you have put together. Figured out the my question and my bad....was using justinbeans. Jumped the gun asking questions...work hard, play hard, and no sleep=epic brain fatigue.

Possible browser hijack?

Hmm, this seems strange, as I'm getting this "1buy.com" homepage on my browser. Changing it to Google works, but after a few hours it resets itself. I did several scans using Avast and Lookout to no avail.

There are lots of malware that avast or lookout fails to find. Did you install any suspicious apps or 'cracked' apps?

None if I'm not mistaken. I already removed several apps on my device, still the problem remains.
Try searching for an app with a name related to "online search provider" in the apps manager and then disable it to test if the browser goes back to normal.
I did this and it worked with my Chinese Sh*t Tablet.

I think I did everything right... it took a min. I am not very phone or computer savvy. I looked through disk digger but none of my vacation pics were there. So sad! Can I try anything else? I have another question..now when I connect my phone to my pc, it is not showing it is even connected? Do I need to do something? Thanks again!!
Meanwhile, while you are doing this, try to store anything to phone. If anything you write now overwrites the disk where earlier data was stored, it won't be recovered back.

Vivax Point x45 - Persistent virus

Hi,
I have a Vivax Point x45 mobile phone and it somehow got infected with a very aggresive virus which I can't get rid of.
The phone is unusable since the phone keeps opening ads, spam and is constantly trying to install new apps.
What I noticed so far is that the two main viruses are Time Service and Firewall Service.
Once I connect to the internet those viruses install porn apps like 'hot video' and 'hot girls' and such and they keep opening it.
I have tried factory reset through mobile phone and through recovery mode (VOL- and Power button) but the viruses are there even after recovery mode.
I've read about Titanium backup and such methods of removing the virus, but I literally can't do anything on the phone since it won't let me open any app longer than 2 seconds. I can't root it, I can't install any other app myself and I can't access internet with it. I would reflash the firmware but I can't find it anywhere on the internet since it's a ****ty vivax model.
Help please.
Thanks.
Factory reset. Don't connect to WiFi. Download antivirus apk on your PC and drag it to your phone. Install the app. Check and clean the virus. Good luck. Must be an oldboot virus that installs itself every time you connect to WiFi. A custom ROM would also fix the issue. But like you said. Its a unknown brand.

The virus works even when not connected to the internet. So I do factory reset and turn on the phone, it's there.
I can't operate on it since it keeps spamming ads and opening apps. It's unusable in this state.

Its a system level virus. A factory reset won't help. It needs to have its system reinstalled. Problem is, the phone itself is an unknown make and brand and has no support on XDA. Its important to buy a phone which does so that when issue like this occurs. There a high probable chance that your phone can get fixed. I'm wondering if your phone has a safe mode?

Safe mode is infected too.
I just managed to root somehow through PC and installed busybox and root explorer and removed several files starting with a "." from system/xbin and system/app so there were no files starting with "." left.
There was another one in /bin folder named ".gap" but even after chattr -iaA it couldn't be removed.
Then I factory reset the phone but the **** installed itself all over again.
App names:
Time Service
Firewall Service
hot video
netflash (smtnh like that)
file names were
.gap
.gap.a
.gatgp.a (smthn like that)
The app is also constantly trying to instal com.android.provision and fake Viber and Whatsapp apps.
Do you have cameraupdate.apk and providerCertificate.apk if so remove these too and all the Files with the dots. I.e what you have suggested above. Then reboot to recovery. And wipe cache and reboot.
