I've been having a weird problem with my Vibrant for the past ten hours or so, and can't seem to find a solution. I was running stock rooted JI6 and attempted to apply some app updates through the Market, but began getting network connection errors. I gave it several minutes, and when it refused to let me in, I restarted the phone, which had no effect. I did an ODIN restore and reverted to factory settings, and the phone refused to sign me into my Google account, saying it couldn't establish a reliable connection. I hunted around and eventually got signed in using the YouTube app workaround, but now when I try to access the Market it says the server is unavailable.
I haven't heard any buzz about a major outage, so I assume this is not something on Google's end. For the record, my connection is fine (tried to sign in to Market on both 3G and WiFi, no go, but browser and other internet-connected apps work fine, as do Google's sync services once I've managed to sign in through YouTube), and my Google account appears entirely normal PC-side. I saw an old thread about people having problems in China etc. after Google was partially blocked there, but as I'm in the United States, I don't think that applies. I am completely at a loss, and now I'm stuck with a factory-settings phone with no apps because I can't get into the Market.
I've followed the XDA forum for a couple months now, but this is my first post. I'll be heading to a T-Mobile store to ask them about it later today, but I'm hoping you folks will be able to shine some light on the subject in the meantime and perhaps even save me the trouble. I'm still pretty new to smartphones and Android, so go much beyond rooting and ODIN 101 and I'm quite ignorant. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks for your attention!
Market works fine on my end. Try clearing the data on market that has helped me in the past. From home screen menu/ settings/ applications/ manage apps/ market/ clear data and cache reboot.
There's no entry for the Market in my apps list, since it's pre-installed.

Hi
I recently purchased Ilomilo, Plants vs Zombies and Pacman Championship but I have been unable to download it even via wifi. I keep getting an error "Attention required. Tap here." I've retried and rebooted but to no avail. Please advise.
Having Same Issue
Hi Guys, please can someone help, this has happened from the time i updated to NoDo, on the previous release the applications install fine. what i did notice is that after a while if u leave the market place on screen, it installs via 3G but this is very random and doesnt happen all the time.
One solution would be to hard reset, sign in to your live account that you use right now and re-download the apps.
While in the marketplace, i always disable my mobile network data usage and i enable only the wifi, making sure that everything gets downloaded via my wireless network.
i did do a hard reset, the apps just sit there to be downloaded, you can retry till you blue in the face it does the same thing, it did install over 3G but not wifi, but now its not even installing via either.
hey mine is galaxy ace,even i cant install the apps from market.
i get an error msg "application cant b installed"
Mine is htc mozart7 i cant install any apps from market place and it says is set up your account for market place,games,and music.but even i set up my account it said there is a problem on your liveID even there is no problem. What should i do please help me?

Mine is HTC 7 misery I can't install apps games from market place it say setup ur account for market place for game music app.but even set up my account it said there is problem on my live id even there is no problem what can i do please help me
Anyone experiencing this problem?
This started to happen 2 days ago, when I open Google Play Store app. I just get a "Server Error" message with a retry button.
I tried to clear the app. data, reinstall the apk and even restore the tablet to factory settings to re-root. It's not a connection problem, my phone is connecting fine to Play Store. I cleared dalvik cache too, problem persist.
No trouble here. Running SD Version of CM7.
Mine is still working fine on cm7.
I forgot to mention, I'm using the usual root from SD card provided on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1466583
I'm not on CM7 or anything.
Looks like it's time to try CM7, even after a factory reset and re-root, I get the old Market app and the server error message still shows up.
EDIT
I don't know what is happening here, I installed CM7 and I'm still getting the same error!!!
So guys, I found a solution, it seems that Google started to play dirty with us, I mean, with people who buy android devices outside their country of origin. This problem is described on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24070500#post24070500
This may be a problem to people like me, who lives in a country where some Android devices are not available for sale, or in my case, they are hefty overpriced by local stores, so I just buy off eBay which is much cheaper lol.
I don't understand why Google started to make this, it's so stupid. The solution is, install MarketEnabler and fake your region, and like magic, Android Market (or Google Play Store, whatever) will work again.
Just to make things clear, I tried CM7, CM9, stock + root, wipe caches, data etc and NOTHING worked, Market continued to show the server error message whatever the rom I had.
People outside US or other countries where B&N is not present, be advised, you may encounter some problems with Google Play Store from now on.
No connection from outside the U.S.
I have a NT (Rooted only via SD method) and live in Sweden and haven't had problems. Love it.
However, while here on a course in Switzerland I suddenly got the same problem. Server error...
I freaked out and began clearing cache, data, reset the google account everything. No luck.
A fellow nook owner from no less than Switzerland told me to be patient and try from the hotel wifi instead of the company guest wifi. Needless to say it worked just fine from the Hotel WiFi when I got back.
Whew.
So my advice is to give it a try from another hotspot and see if you have better luck. It could be getting blocked.
Confirming this error. I am also getting this "Server Error" with a retry button. Haven't tried MarketEnabler. Will report if it works.
I have seen similar posts on xda on different device forums.
Yes. MarketEnabler DOES fixes the problem. Just browsed to ME's googlecode site and downloaded the latest version(3.1.1.3 to be exact). Set a US carrier; everything solved.
To people with sd card root method, do not panic and try to reset your accounts on the tablet, you'll end with a factory reset screen and will loose all your data.
I learned this the hard way lol, I had to re-root and install gapps again (SD card method), but since Market was blocked, after rooting, I had to use adb to install MarketEnabler to gain access to market again and download GoLauncher, NT Hidden Settings and etc.
Now I backed up everything, if some disaster happens again, I'll just restore with CWM.
Moved To Q&A
Please post questions in the Q&A section
Working again???
On Tuesday it wasn't working. Now I am back to the same company wifi and it is working again. I haven't installed Market Enabler.
Perhaps it was a temporary thing?
Anyway, I think I'll go ahead and install it because while Play works, I can't find much at all, so it certainly filter's on my country location. (currently Switzerland).
EDIT...
Just installed MarketEnabler(3.1.1.3) from a backup (since I couldn't find it over here...)
Now I see TONS of apps again.
So, for those of you outside the U.S. I recommend Enabler. You can switch between local and U.S. from the settings list. NICE.
Just be sure to restart Play.
Yes, I think it was temporary. Yesterday at 01:00 am Market became unavailable for about 10 minutes for my phone and tablet, when I saw this I thought "not again, and now on both my android devices?" and I thought market enabler was blocked or something, but I waited a little and market came back online after a few minutes. During this time, I restarted my nook, and by making this, market enabler changes are removed, but I could access the market without faking my region.
It seems that Google is making some chances on market and perhaps screwed something and took a few days to fix.

I started having this problem a couple of days ago myself and I'm in the US. I haven't found a fix. Am on a staighted rooted NT. CM7 on SD suddenly started having WIFI issues so I took it off.

I have the same problem. I thought it's only me and my device. I didn't find solution even that I tried everything you wrote. So, I am also asking if somebody know any solution for this.
Thanks...
same problem here
Same here ..
Same issue happened with me, when I saw my region I was surprised as to what happened and checked again, when going to final transaction it shows US. but still, it's driving me nuts. Google Play Services might be responsible for this, it tends to update itself
Same problem... I thought it was only my phone.
I used it to fake to Japanese market, so it is not a region problem. Market must have updated something :crying:
I just found out a few hours ago hence, i found this post.
Anyone knows how to fake market again? :crying: IT IS A PAIN WITHOUT IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
same here
Same problem as well !!!!
Never used that app, anything good in the us market?

Happening to me too. Started two days back. Tried all methods. different versions of market enabler, market access and market unlocker. Tried downgrading play store to 3.7.XXXX. Doesn't work. Automatically upgrades itself to 3.10.XXXX, a few minutes later. Tried different ROMS, not working. Tried ViperX, CM10, icecoldjelly on my HOX. Restored to a previous time when market access was working, doesn't work no more. The only possible explanation for me is that google has blacklisted me, or blocked me, or whatever. Maybe using a different google account might work.
3 different apps (MarketEnabler, MarketAccess, Market Unlocker) not working for me anymore either. The weird thing is that Google Play Store from the browser still sees my phone as T-Mobile US i9100, but I don't see the buy button anymore.
I guess google changed the way it's fetching relevant data from the phone... any fixes yet?
Don't work anymore for me ! I use Market Access since my Galaxy S1 (i have S3 now)
Same here. It just stopped to work half a day ago. Clearing market data, rebooting and reverting to 2.6 market doesn't seem to help. It's really annoying since I live in China...
I heard that VPN/proxy may solve this problem but I don't have an VPN or proxy to try it out.
Besides, since many people are having this problem in these few days but not all at once, maybe this has something to do with our account/credit card/purchase history or something. Anyone tried to use another account, or maybe use the same account on another device?
OK I tried it myself, flashed a new rom, got a new Gmail account (without CC), reinstalled market unlocker and it didn't work. Removing SIM card didn't help either. Guess we have to use VPN/Proxy.
PS: It seems that market unlocker works with PC play store though.
Guess we are stuck like this. People who live in us or gb, or someplace where the play store doesn't suck, are really very lucky. This is driving me crazy. Not being able to download top free apps and games........ not even temple run 2.....root explorer......nothing... why cant google let us select a region, then at least the cool free ones will be available to everyone. yeah...ill keep dreaming
any solutions ????
Same problem, but VPN solution does not appear to help unfortunately

Hi everyone!
I am really new to this forum and is looking for a solution to the problem I have encountered on Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9500) yesterday.
Day before yesterday when I purchased my phone, I updated it using KIES (Firmware XXUBMG9 to XXUEMJ5) (Android Version 4.2.2 to 4.3).
Everything was working PERFECTLY before the update like Google Play and I have downloaded Instagram, Facebook & Messenger, WhatsApp and Yahoo Mail ONLY using same ID same WiFi.
The update process took 2 hours and after the update the Google Play started giving me error "Retry - Connection Error". I tried everything like uninstalling the Google Play updates, clearing cache, resetting the phone, removing and entering the Gmail ID but nothing worked.
After I reset the phone, when the phone ask for the Gmail ID it was giving me error and was not signing me. I signed in using data and it worked, I opened Google Play with data its opening. I don't know whats wrong with my phone I am really tensed SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME :'(
I also tried getting apps by signing in on Google Play from laptop and on phone it saying cannot download when the phone is connected with WiFi. When I turn off the WiFi connection and turn on data and then send request from laptop using Google Play the phone starts downloading app and when I switch to WiFi on phone during download it DOES COMPLETE the download without any error.
Few hour back, I installed the VPN and then tried opening Google Play, it opened and working fine and downloading apps but I don't know why its not downloading or opening Google Play on without VPN even though Play Store is opening on my laptop without VPN.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I wanna get back to 4.2 :'( I don't wanna root the phone I want everything back or this thing to work :'( PLEASE HELP ME I CHECK TIME SETTINGS TOO BUT NOTHING IS WORKING!
THANKS :'(

U can't go back to 4.2. There's Knox messing with u. Once you're on 4.3, there's no downgrading. U could root (and void your warranty) and flash GApps. It could solve your problem.
Smack that thanks button If I helped!

If you're still receiving the same problem, I suggest you either contact your provider or it could just be a WIFI error. What VPN are you using?

I am still receiving problem and its same. I checked my internet provider by using other apps and browser everything is working perfectly except Playstore. And about VPN I got [play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vpnoneclick.android][/url] and its working and with this I can open Playstore without any connection problem. I also used HotSpot it is also working and I can use Playstore smoothly.

Check if u have Google Service Framework installed. If no, root and flash GApps. (Try not to trip Knox for warranty's sake.) If yes... hmm lemme think bout it.
