Is anyone else having issues with the play store? I can't download any apps or update them... It says "downloading..." and never gets to the part where it shows how much has been downloaded. I restarted my phone... No luck. My Internet works fine, the browser works great, but no Play Store. Is this a widespread issue? I'm on Charmeleon ROM. Had no issues before with it, and I've had it for days. Thanks everyone!

Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Clear cache and data then restart the app
No dice... Tried that twice now. I've never experienced this before. Pretty irritating! :/

i was having the same problem until now it just started working out of no where all i did was power off. then hold down volume down and power until you get to the hboot screen chose fastboot then reboot.
I wiped everything and flashed a new ROM for the heck of it. Works perfect now. I have a feeling it was just Google Play being a brat. I think the timing was coincidental. But who knows?

You had luck. Wife's HTC Desire stucks in "downloading...".
I tried:
- kill, clear data, uninstall updates (Google Play/Market, Downloading service, Market updating service)
- change user password
- restore phone to default
- revert phone/flash to system default (using HTC updater, then applied HTC's oficial OTA updates)
And Google Play is not working. Big issue is that more services are not working, including Maps, Chrome2phone. After resetting phone to default few minutes is Market working (until it downloaded update to Google Play).
But "Talk" is working fine. Home WiFi (no restriction) or 3G. Second Android phone on same WiFi and same 3G works without issues.
I've had that a few times but just hit cancel update then hit update again then it worked. I am more frustrated that apps don't download/update when u leave the market before they are done or turn your screen off

I had the same issue too, stuck at the "Downloading...." so i tried to uninstall the update through "System > Application > All > Google play store" but it got stock again while uninstalling the google play. so i used titanium backup and did "Wipe data" (Do not uninstall from titanium backup since it will remove the whole thing not just the update)
then went back to "System > Application > All > Google play store" and did an uninstall. so it removed the update only.
I started the program and got the message telling me that google market is now called google play store... blah blah..
the version became 3.5.x (cannot remember) and it worked great...
after a while it updated it self to the latest (3.8.17) at the time of writing this, and it still works and I can download and install apps.
:good:
BTW, i am have a Samsung Galaxy Note (from AT&T) running 4.0.4
(i reached this thread while googling for the problem, but hopefully the same solution will apply to other phones)
Also: clear media cache
Another thing that helped me with this problem (different device, admittedly) is to clear the media cache (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Media Storage -> Clear Data). You wouldn't think that this would affect the Google Play store, but I have a large side-loaded MP3 collection & sometimes media crawler problems affect just about everything.
just follow this
do this
Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Google Play store app and the download manager. Here's how:
Visit Settings > Apps on your device
View All apps
Select the Google Play store app, and then tap Clear data and Clear cache.
Then, select Download manager and tap Clear data and Clear cache.
it came for google online support
YES! Can't install/update apps
I am having this same issue. My HTC Droid Incredible 2 has been rooted, and running Gingerbread 2.3.4. Google Play store was operating as it should. Today I installed a build of Cyanogenmod 10 (update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-vivow-BRACKETKANG-04_08_12-signed-v.3) with Jellybean (Android 4.1.1). I flashed the corresponding gapps download (gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip) from cyanogenmod.org. This is the thread I used to do this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1779986
I have re-flashed the gapps, cyanogenmod, and even tried various other cyanogenmod and gapp versions. I can not download or update apps. I accepted the terms, etc and it says downloading indefinitely. I have tried emptying the cache, force closing, reinstalling Google Play. I have also downloaded older versions of the app. Currently, I have version 3.9.16 installed. I have been using clockworkmod to install cyanogenmod and gapps, if that is helpful information.
I have scoured the internet looking for a solution. I am not allowed to post on the above mentioned thread, I guess I haven't posted on XDA enough in order to have access. If there is anymore information I can provide that would make it easier/possible to solve this problem, please let me know!
Thank you very much,
Darman

Strange that it worked perfect for 3 days and now this.
Try the following and see if it helps :
1. Remove your Google account
2. Clear data in Play Store
3. Same for Google Services Framework
4. Reboot
Add the account back and see if you still face the problem.
If that too doesn't work then the last option, as any Google support would tell you, factory reset

Hello I have the Galaxy S II from T-Mobile T989 (I cant find the correct forum) my Google Play Store always is stuck on loading... I've been using over Wi-Fi but I think on 4G does the same thing. I've been able to access it buy deleting cache and data, also by uninstalled store application update, but still after i use it and close it then it get stuck again, I have to always clean cache/data to access it, is there anything I can do to permanently fix this problem?

Hello Guys,
I have Note 4 N910C running Android V5.0.1 and few days ago I started to face a problem while downloading new apps or updating existing apps from Google Play Store through mobile data as it only stuck on "Downloading...." and it never goes to Counter or Installing phase and while everything else is working very fine on mobile data so I tried to use WIFI and it works which is very weird... I tried a lot of things in order to solve this issue but I failed... I cleared cache, data, uninstalled updates of play store, google play service and google services frame work and I forced close them and I removed google account and restarted my phone but it didn't work with me... I also unchecked all devices from google play settings on the web and checked only this device but it didn't work too... I removed devices from devices and activity through google account settings and it didn't work.
The only way worked with me is after I wiped data and factory reset the phone and I really don't wanna do this again... Any suggestions please??

Check play store options and iff auto update apps on wifi is checked uncheck that I maybe wrong but its worth a shot
Huge drain from Google service, started a few day ago. Some one with a solution? Except factory reset and downgrade.

In Google play app settings turn off auto update apps and notify when update available ect.
THEN, in phone settings-apps, Wipe cache and data of Google play app reboot and start up Google Play again.
And if that don't work bin the honor and get a nexus [emoji2]
