Hello people!
I've been through alot of solutions and i still couldn't fix it. Hence this thread.
An hour ago i started my regular update run, updating 6 apps. After updating the first app, play store force closed. This didn't happen to me for ages, so i thought let's start by clearing the cache of download manager and google play store. This didn't work, so i tried uninstalling the updates. and rebooting the phone.
At this point play store worked again, so i tried updating another app. But after this updating, the fc was back. So i repeated the cache clearing and found somewhere that if i did that with google framework, play would probably come back. But it didn't.
So after this i rebooted again and started google play. And it started. But now things got worse. Google play gives me a no connection retry since then. Even after clearing dalvik and rebooting again.
So i guess my question is clear. How do i get play working again on my phone?
Thanks in advance for answering!
P.s. I also found a solution which said to remove and add the google account, but on my xperia z1 with 4.4.4 i can't seem to find that option?

Google Play randomly locks up my SGS2 running CyanogenMod 7:
Nothing else gives this problem on my phone, and my phone also had this same problem with the old Google Market App. Is there anyone else having the same problem as me, and more importantly does anyone know a fix
you could try clearing the cache, settings-->applications-->manage applications-->select google play and clear cache.
it is a known issue with cwm 7.1 and s2. have a read to the official cwm forum... workaround use appbrain. the issue occurs when you scroll in the market/play app
OK Guys thanks for the pointers.
I'm getting Google PLay FCs all the time!
I don't why my google play is giving continous force closures.removing cache or unistalling update is not working.
No answer here but at least you'll know you are not alone.

My play store kept crashing yesterday whenever I started the phone or tried to download a app. After clearing cache and data it still would not work. Struggled to find the solution in the one x+ forum so thought I would put it here. What had happened was a download got stuck so I forced stop. This disabled the download manager in apps, hence kept crashing play store. Re-enabled and all works fine again.
Hopefully this helps someone else.
Hey all,
I'm currently running Liquidsmooth Rom on my AT&T Galaxy SIII. I've got everything running fine, but when I go to install Facebook from the Play Store, I'm getting "Package file invalid" every time. I've tried clearing data from both the play store and the google play services, rebooted the phone into recovery and cleared cache and dalvik cache. The same thing happens no matter what.
After searching Google for an hour, I've tried everything. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thank you!
Edit
After trying to download on LTE rather than on WIFI, it worked fine. Please ignore and close this thread. Thanks!

It's not you. I have an unrooted phone and I have mines set to auto-update and I got the same message just yesterday. I think Facebook is going through some things right now. I heard that it was not updating properly from the Play Store up until a couple of days ago. Give it another few days I would suppose. Then contact Google and see what gives if it's doing the same thing.
Randomly today, I keep getting persistent popups that say Google Play services has stopped and another one involving com.google something about location I believe.
I have not touched my phone hardly at all today, haven't installed anything or changed any settings etc. Have tried rebooting phone, to no avail. Any help? Thanks
I think there was a update to google play services taking it to version 5 in the past day or two, maybe you got a dodgy update or it is conflicting with another app. Maybe try clearing data for play services then reboot the phone.
Thanks for the reply. Tried that to no avail. This is maddening.

Same thing happens to me as well, i can't figure out the cause. the other one is com.google.something.location.service
I am also getting this randomly since the latest Play services update 2-3 days back, mostly for the Dash app.
I been having Google+ force close even if cache and data clear
Having exact same problems. It also removes your Gmail account in back up and reset in settings. Only thing I did to make it stop was uninstall the update and reboot and won't update until google fixs the problem, idiots! I don't understand why they haven't pulled the update or updated the update by now.
Mine pops up every 2-3 seconds. I can't even make calls or text without wanting to throw my Z2 into the East River. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.
Hello!
I just upgraded to Lollipop using a pre-rooted zip. It seems to be working well however I have hit a significant road block. When I first booted I had a notification instructing me to update Google Play services, however no progress was being made within the Play Store app. I have other pending updates that will not update as well. I have tried manually downloading the correct Play Services and Play Store apps however I continue to have issues (updates are hanging at "downloading"). I have noticed some wonky behavior in general which I believe is related to Play services not working correctly. I have attempted to Force close them and wipe the cache and data for each, including Framework and the Download manager, but this doesn't seem to have fixed anything. I also attempted to remove my Google account and re-enter it.
Does anyone have an advice before I factory reset? I am really trying to avoid this. Thanks in advance.
Update: Welp. I couldn't figure it out and so I thought a factory reset would fix it. WRONG. I have no idea what is going on but I have factory reset the phone and I am still having this issue. I am seriously at a loss.
