Visual Land Prestige 7G not working properly - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

This tablet has been owned by my niece for several months. It has worked fine and many of the apps were compatible with it.
A few days ago, her dad started deleting apps and caused Google Play Store to stop working. It worked again after I chose Uninstall Updates yet the error came back again. Even clearing Cache and Data didn't work.
I then did a Factory Reset to see if that would fix the issue. After everything was setup, the store worked but couldn't download anything as I kept on getting an error message stating I wasn't logged in. I decided to use the Google Play Store Website on the computer to download Panda Pops, one of the apps that was compatible. However, now it isn't compatible anymore.
Also, the device that shows up is "No carrier Digiin Prestige 7G" instead of "Visual Land Prestige 7G".
I did try to Update the device but it gets an unknown error during the process (used Internet Connection).
If there is anyone that can help, I would appreciate it.

[Q] Market inaccessible

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.

[Q] Google Play Store (aka Android Market) stopped to work on NT

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.

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.

Apps not showing up in market

Ive tried searching around but my Google-Fu is lacking at the moment is seems. Im running the CM9alpha and everything is working fine, other then the list of bugs that are with the rom. One day my phone got disconnected from the Sprint network and so I had to flash back to stock. I reactivate with the network so I flash back to CM9. Everything is working fine, but I notice now when i go to the Play web site and try and install an app it doesn't install on my phone. I go and look at My Android Apps and it shows the app that are installed on my stock Sprint rom. Ive tried clearing the cache on my phone, rebooting my phone, and even uninstalling the Play Store updates. Nothing seems to work. Didnt know if anyone has had any similar issues and luck solving them.
EDIT: Just to clarify I have multiple accounts on my phone and chrome, but my main account is logged in on both Chrome and my phone. I recently bought Osmos HD on the web store and it doesnt show up that its even been bough on my phone.

Another Play Store wont connect problem

We've all had issues with the play store over the years, but this one has me stumped.
Rooted LG Flex on T Mobile
everything was fine for almost a month, but a few days ago, i noticed I was no longer able to connect to the play store.
I did all the "normal" things, cleared caches/data from play store, google framework, uninstalled my gmail account and re-installed it, downgraded play store, upgraded play store, tried the hosts file trick, even did a factory reset, and still no play store connection.
Even called Tmobile tech support, and got to the tier 2 folks, and they couldn't get it to work either, so they are sending a new phone tuesday.
Until then, I want to keep on trying to get this to work; I haven't unrooted with Supersu yet, figuring that rooting had nothing to do with this, since it worked fine for a month, rooted, but does anyone else have any suggestions?
Its weird; when I open the play store app, and type something into the search box, it will actually take me to the page where that app is, but when I try to download/install it, I get the dreaded error 927; when I back out, and just try to open the play store app, It doesnt connect at all.
When I try to send files to my phone from my computer, it shows "my apps", but when I try to send them to my phone, I get an error on my phone saying "failed to install" app..
Any thing else I might have not tried with this?
Thanks!

[Q] Can't Access Play Store After a Factory Reset...

or, stated differently, "I've Been Banned From the Play Store..."
I am unable to get a full restore from my backup on Google servers because I get the dreaded "... no connection" "Retry" message whenever I go to the Play Store. I wouldn't mind that the restore is incomplete if I could just download the apps manually, but I can't.
Here's my tale of woe (and, yes, I'm a bit of an Android n00b, but I'm not new to these computin' devices):
I unlocked the boot loader right after I received the N9 and had it rooted a day or two later. All seemed well...
Yesterday (Thursday, 11/13), I received a notification that there was an update available. I was probably still half asleep, so that's why I said "Okay" to the update--and then realized that on a rooted device, that isn't a good idea. It stopped after a few minutes and said the update had failed. My N9 still worked, but was still at 5.0 (LRX21M) and not 5.0 (LRX21Q) as I'd hoped.
However, some things just didn't feel right and I convinced myself that I should get back to stock and leave my N9 unrooted until things matured a bit--this may have been irrational, but I convinced myself it wasn't.
So, down the "flash-a-system-image" path I went; following the instructions found on Google's "Factory Images for Nexus Devices" page. Unfortunately, I got the "missing system.img" error and knew something was amiss. I resorted to following some steps gleaned from various sources to flash everything manually. This worked and I was presented with a pristine install screen upon initial boot. All seemed well until I realized that the 100+ apps I had chosen from a previous backup were not downloading as they should be.
Numerous Factory Resets later, I am still unable to get access to the Play Store from this device and lately have been getting a message that the Play Store has stopped.
I have tried many of the suggestions and purported fixes that pop up when one Googles this issue, but none have worked in my case.
So, my question is: What options do I have to get the Play Store app available to this device? Should I be considering re-flashing everything manually, again?
I am open to any and all suggestions. Just remember that being a n00b, I may have a few more questions.
Thanks in advance to any and all who read and/or reply

SOLVED!
So, I spent several hours into the early morning wiping, re-flashing and factory resetting the N9 and finally stumbled onto the root cause of my problem--THE BACKUP I WAS RESTORING HAD THE WIFI PROXY SET TO MANUAL!
I had been messing with AdBlock Plus and had changed the proxy settings trying to get that to work. Seems the backup contained these settings and as soon as they were "restored", all subsequent restores were failing due to the device not being able to see the outside world. I discovered the proxy issue when I opened the Chrome browser and it suggested I check the proxy settings as it was blind to the outside world as well. Once I changed the proxy setting to "None", all apps were restored and we're up and running.
Download host editor ... It works 100 %
