[Q] Can't update Google Play Store ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So I am running Cyanogenmod 10.1 and I want to manually update my Google Play store to 4.1.10 but every time I install the APK file I get ''Google play store could not be updated. Free up some space and try again'' Help??

Sounds like you don't have enough room in your system partition, cache could also be the culprit. Can you confirm you have enough room, and do you still have your market updater apk as the market should auto update.

I still have Market Updater and I have over 9 GB still in my internal storage

Internal storage differs from system partition and cache partition.
Try clearing market data and cache then open and close play store a few times

Still getting the same problem my play store is 3.10.14 if that helps

Can you confirm you have enough space in your system partition? Cache?
You can always just delete your current play store then push the new one in

How do I do that I'm really noobish when it comes to this

adb remount
adb delete /system/app/nameofapp.apk
adb push /system/app/nameofapp.apk
adb reboot
Maybe search a guide on adb quick while your at it

[Q] Download from Market but not installed. How to locate file..?

Hi,
I have downloaded one app from Market, after downloading 100%, it automatically disappears..without installation...
Since, it was a huge file almost 23 MB, so it is very difficult for me to re-download.
Can any one tell me, where the downloaded file saved on Phone. So that I can go and install it.
Thanks.
Once downloaded it gets installed automatically afaik

I know dear..but in this case it was not..thats why I am asking, where it is located...on my cell..
If you're asking about the file it's in data>app, if you're talking about launching it it should be in the app drawer of whatever launcher you are using. If it's not installed in data/app there should be a problem.
Edit: if you downloaded but it didn't auto-install, it would have been stored in Dalvik cache but by now it should have been cleared from your system... just download it again over a wifi network, best solution.

It's in data/dalvik-cache. If there's not enough space in there your download will not even start.

Did you change your dpi? If not, try clearing play store data, then wipe cache & dalvik.
No i didn't change dpi or anything.. i don't even know what dpi is (newbie)
Ok i'll try..

Did you check if there was no filter in Playstore parameters ?
Hi,
I am having the same problem after installing an AOKP Maguro rom.
I have lost not just whatsapp but many other apps. in the play store.
The strange fact is that I have been using this rom since march and never had a problem before......it looks like that something has changed on the play sore lately.
try finding the APK file and sideload it....works for me with apps that have been removed from the market place

Is it because your trying to download an app off play which you already have had before?
If it is you need to delete the odex file. /data/app/

After root and link2sd :when I install chrome "invalid package file"

I have t-mobile LG L9 p769
after I root, I linked the chrome,facebook,google+ to sd, using link2sd, (I linked apk,dat, and library files)
then the partition on SD went corrupt and had to reformat
now when I try to install Google chrome/facebook/Google Plus, in google play it tells me, invalid package file,
and yes I did clear the cache of play/google frame work but it didnt work for me any idea?
Install busybox. If that doesn't work then you might try hard reset.

I did a factory reset, and also installed busy box,
for some apps like facebook, i can now install, but for google play store it still says invalid package file or google play book
Unlink all apps then uninstall linked2sd. Reboot then reinstall the apps that aren't working.

Google Play Store Insufficient Storage

I have this issue with playstore where it says insufficient storage even when I have loads of sufficient space avaliable.
I have tried clearing cache and data of google play services and google play store app, I have tried clearing dalvik cache from recovery, I have factory reset my phone.
All these methods except factory resetting works sometimes. Factory reset works everytime. But the problem works again after a few days.
Do anyone of you guys have permanent solution?????

Method 1 of 4: Using the Lucky Patcher App
The Lucky Patcher app is one way on how to fix insufficient storage available error on android phones. Lucky Patcher apk is actually a third party app to crack/patch paid Google play apps. Your device must be rooted to be able to use lucky patcher.
1.Download Lucky Patcher apk
2.Place lucky patcher apk into your SD card and install it using any file manager you prefer.
3.Run it and then press menu key and Proceed to Troubleshooting.
4.Choose "Remove fixes and backups" and then finally reboot your device to fix this awful error.
After this, the insufficient storage available bug will be no more. This can be done every time the bug appears and it will allow you to install any application you intended to have on the phone.
Try to clear data from the play store in the application manager. If that doesn’t work, clear it again along with Google services framework. You’ll need to sign in to your Google account again.
