[Q] Play Store - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is anyone else having problems with Google Play this morning? I can't get it to refresh/load whatsoever on either wifi or mobile. And the new Maps gives me a no connection error.

The Play Store is working fine here, try rebooting the phone and wiping the Play Store's cache.

Have you tired signing out of and signing back into your Google account and then accessing the Play Store?

[Q] Apps won't download when started from playstore website

Hi all,
I have googled, searched and even called Google themselves but I cannot start a download from my desktop browser and have it install on my phone.
Phone does nothing at all, sits there pretending I haven't asked it to do anything.
The app will appear in My Apps in the play store and I can download and install from the device directly.
I've followed the guidelines on Google website, signing out of talk etc but still no luck.
I did manage to make it work by going back to stock, then flashing SuperNexus but within four days it's broken again.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this and how to resolve it?
Try using a different Google account to setup the phone then sign in on the Web

Remove the Google account from the phone, reboot and log in again.
Thanks for the tips but still no joy.
Google refuse to help because I'm rooted!
So when you open play store, it doesn't start automatically?

I sometimes have the same problem. Toggling WiFi or data off then back on seems to do the trick usually.

Nope, sits there doing nothing as if I haven't touched a thing.
The Badger, that somehow managed to sort it! I can't believe such a simple toggle can fix a problem that I've been struggling to sort for a week!
You have my sincerest thanks!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped.

Where is "turn on google now"?
here are the screenshots for settings of google now
In fact, there should be another option in the settings above the Voice Search
that setting is Google now.....
Unfortunately, you don't have it
I dunno why

Maybe you are usung google apps for business?
If so, you have to activate google now in your apps for business administration settings.
Hope that helps,

Region Dependent maybe?
I'm not sure though but Google Now may be region dependent? I have the same problem with the recent 4.1.2 update here in the Philippines. I will try to install a UK firmware and well see how it goes.

which rom are you using ?
This should be the case in settings. This is on the leaked 4.2.2.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Google now is location dependent thus, it wont work on some network/country/region... just like google wallet. It was working when I was in the US but not here in the Philippines.

[Q] Play Store

Hi, earlier today I was trying to download the update for Temple Run 2 from the Play Store but every time it downloads I get the "Package File is Invalid" error. Does anyone know a way to fix this? Or can someone post there apk file to the version v1.0.1.1? Everything I have tried hasn't worked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Try wiping cache & davlik cache via recovery if your rooted. Then when you boot back up clear data & cache on the following apps via settings, applications manager.
"Play store,Google services, & Google framework". Then reboot & see if it still gives you the error.

You cleared data for Google playstore, Google services, and Google services framework,and it did not work. Did you reboot the phone afterwards ?

I noticed in your screen shots you didn't force close the apps. I should have mentioned that in the first post. Try the steps again but this time force close the apps as well. Also are you rooted ??
Edit- Do you have market feed back agent app enabled or disabled ?? If its disabled then I'd recommend enabling it.

Google Play Store bad manifest

Since about Monday, when I try to update several applications in the Google Play Store, I receive the error message "Package file has a bad manifest" when it tries to install the update. I have never seen this message before. Can someone advise on how to fix this error?
Very much a +1 here
This appeared randomly a few days ago and applies to some installed apps and also to new apps such as San Andreas.
Very frustrating.. If anyone could help us it would be greatly appreciated.
I would suggest you to go to applications and uninstall Google play updates... Later Google play will auto install to the latest version

I'm having this problem too. Been researching it and other people experiencing it have bad internet connections, and I just tested my connection too and it's terrible so must be caused by corruption. Gonna try again on a better connection.
