The updates on my play store are stuck and always stays as 'Download Pending'. On Googling, I found that the solution is to clear the app data from settings. It does work after clearing data, however, after sometime downloads are still pending and I again have to clear the data. Can anybody tell be where the problem may be lying and how do I fix it permanently?
Usually, my download pending on big apps, need to connect to wifi to continue.
To clear this temporarily, go into Settings/Apps and scroll to Google Play Store
Select Storage and Clear Data
It's not a permanent solution and you will have to do it regularly for downloads to work.
Thanks.. Its working fine now.

Hi all,
I somehow managed to break my Market App. Whenever I try to download an app (even free ones). I receive the following error: "error processing purchase".
I backed up my ROM with CWM and reset my Tab to factory default. I am able to download again. However I'm hoping that someone can send me the stock Android Market App, so I don't have to start customizing all over again.
Thanks in advance!
I spent hours trying to fix this and finally came to the solution. Clearing the market cache and removing your Google account must be done concurrently. If all else fails, remove your Google account, clear the cache for the market, and clear all cache and data from all applications and services that use the market icon. This is kind of like hunting a rabbit with a bazooka, but it'll git'er done.
To re-hash concisely:
Be aware: if steps 1, 2, and 3 don't work, step 4 can solve your problem ( it did for me ), but it may cause adverse effects or problems ( I'm not sure ).
1) Go to settings --> Account & Sync --> Click your Google account --> and click remove in the upper right hand corner of the screen.
2) Go to settings --> Applications --> Manage Applications --> Click the "All Applications" tab --> and then scroll until you find "Market". Choose "Clear Data".
3) Make another attempt to download or purchase an app.
If you still receive the error message:
4) Repeat steps 1 & 2 , but in addition to clearing the market cache ( which happens in step 2 ), look for any applications that seem related to the market ( there were multiple services and programs I found ) and clear the data/cache for all of them. When this step is completed, your tablet will reinitialize upon exit. You may receive a notification or error.
5) Restart your tablet, click the market, and you will be prompted to add a Google account. Sign in and accept the terms!!!
Hope this works!

error on market app
Im getting crazy as I can´t download any market app at all.
The first time I installed (3.3 bl1.1), I got 6 apps downloaded form the market app, and then suddenly stop saying and error purchasing even free apps. After hours trying to change settings now the market app even doesnt open saying that cannot get info from the server!!!
Tried to clear cache, wipe data and even reinstall the rom, but the same thing happens now after just 1 download from the android market, it says "error purchasing" a free app..
I really loved this ROM, but this is a crucial feature, can someone post an workaround for this ?
This happened to me after restoring a nandroid. In the end I ended up reflashing and restoring my user app data from TitaniumBackup. Problem solved. Good Luck

You could try to restore with TTB or uninstall and install a fresh apk. Or make a new nandroid backup, flash an older working Android backup, copy the apk onto your SD card, restore the broken nandrod backpup, uninstall market, use root explorer to move the working market apk to system/app and reinstall it from there.

I had the same issue happened to me. A workaround that worked for me is using the web market. Try that, it should work. The only thing is that it wont install automatically. After downloading from the web market I had to go to the market native app and search again for the app i just dl. Now the market native app would display Install instead of download.
That was the only way to dl the app.
Then I had issue with battery drainage, So decided to flash it back to stock and no more problems with the market.

" error processing purchase" solution that worked for me
Hi.
I'm new to the forum. I just bought my first tablet. A Viewsonic GTablet that was rooted to Honeycomb 3.0. First thing I found out about it was that I couldn't download free apps from the Market. I could get the paid ones however. I could also download free ones from Amazon. So I googled and googled and read the posts here and elsewhere and tried most of the fixes but I was as frustrated as all of us. So I thought that maybe there would be a newer version of Market that had bug fixes and so on and I found
It's version 3.0.26. I was trying to post the link but they tell me as a new member of the forum I'm not allowed to post outside links yet. Cool. The link was actually to a RapidShare site if your trust them. It was free. It was easy to just gmail it to myself and on my Viewsonic I found it in the Download folder and did the install. Sure enough I'm now a happy camper. First thing I got was Flash Player of course. I want the SiriusXM app but I installed it and log in and get the "checking for updates" that never ends. But that's a different topic.
By the way. I did email Android Market support and they got right back to me and said that they were working on it. I sent them my update that I am posting here.
The Market sometimes just has issues. As others have said clearing cache can help. Other times the only thing to do is wait and try to repurchase again later.

cheers mate. I did steps 1,2 and 3 and market is working fine again
it worked for me for a day and the issue came back again.
darn frustrating
I get no love with the Jamesyboy fix.
Seems a common enough problem, but no solid fix after all this time.

Found a real fix.
Install new market.apk from
http://www.arctablet.com/assets/apps/Android_Market_v3.1.5.apk
and install.
Then hunt down and uninstall the old faulty market app.
To do that, if you click the "Market" label at the top right of the "Apps" screen the system will prompt you to complete action with...
That will tell you the name of the old market app to go find and uninstall.
The Market backend (not your Tab or other device) is the problem. They've been getting a huge response to those $0.10 apps, and it's revealing some issues with the servers.
settings- privacy- factory data reset. then when it reboots wipe data for market. it's been working for me so far for a few hours. it hasn't updated to google play store yet tho, i don't know why and don't care as long as i can download apps.
Market Legacy Will cause this
if you use the google play legacy app to see what apps you have installed previously it will break in-app purchases. Uninstall and wipe normal market cache
Also try clearing media cache
I periodically have the Google Play Store get stuck on "Installing..." when I try to install an app (JellyBean, different tablet tho). I've done Clear Data for it & the Google Play Services as suggested above. But what I also needed to do was Clear Data on Media Storage. I have a large (~40GB) side-loaded MP3 collection, and the media crawler sometimes gets bogged down causing problems for everything (including Camera, which is apparently connected to Gallery, which apparently uses the media crawler). Of course, after you do this you will need to be patient (and perhaps reboot?) while it re-indexes your media.
i see..
Hello,
I am using HTC explorer (Android 2.3.5) for about a month now. For the past 2 days I am facing a strange problem. I am unable to download apps from Google Play via internet pass through. I am able to browse the internet but when I try to download any application, a grey bar appears saying "Waiting for network" and it never ends. I am able to download the same apps through Wifii. I tried all the possible solutions to make this work (hard reset, soft reset), but found no luck. I changed the default 2GB sd card with a 4GB sd card same days back. But even after that I was able to download via internet pass through. This is little strange. Can somebody help me in this respect.
Thanks in advance,
Nirmal Kumar Bhogadi
Try to clear cache and data of play store
I'm having the same issue. I've used internet pass through on my EVO 3D for quite a while, thinking about changing plans to less data. Pass through works fine for almost everything, but suddenly won't download Google Play updates. But if I clear data and cache, it then thinks there is no update. It is as though it updated, but doesn't recognize it as having completed. The one thing I haven't been able to update ever by PT is new maps for CoPilot Live. It absolutely insists on wi-fi.
Clear data from google services framework, fixes most problems with Google apps.

Thanks for your replies guys!!!
I cleared the data of google services framework, play store but still the problem exists. I am still unable to download from play store via internet pass through
SOLUTION
Hi there,
go to settings> applications>put a tick mark or select unknown sources . Ur problem wil be solved.
Thanks G_IVAR, for posting a reply. But the option is already checked. The only way is working is to settings--> applications--> Manage applications--> Google Play Store and click on Uninstall updates. The Play Store disappears on the phone and the Old market appears. Now when i try to download any application (with internet pass through), the download starts (making me happy) and disappears within 5-10 seconds. When I check my phone this time, again Google Play appears instead of Market. I think the Google guys have made something so that the market apps doesn't download with internet pass through (with a USB cable).

It worked for me too but I have to uninstall the updates on Google Play Store everytime
This probably won't help, but I'm curious. What happens if you go to Google Play via a PC and try to do a remote install that way?

Now it's back working.

Well then Google should update the Play Store app to fix it soon.
reply from google support (didnt solve the problem)
we should contact google support.i mailed them this was there reply but it didn't work
Thanks for contacting us about this issue- it sounds like you're having general connectivity issues. It's frustrating for us when users have problems with connectivity, because there is only so much we can do before you need to contact your service provider. However, I'd like you to try the following troubleshooting steps to resolve this quickly:
- Reboot your device
- Confirm that the app Google Authenticator is up to date - visit Google Play, then tap My Apps to see if you have an update available
- Sign in and out of Google Talk to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear the cache of the Google Play Store app (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Play Store > Clear cache)
- If you're using WiFi, ensure firewalls are not blocking access to ports required for Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228)
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will continue to investigate the problem - any other detail you can provide about the issue and how/when it occurs will be extremely helpful. Have an excellent day.
Hi there,
I'm using a Sensation, and also having this problem. It's really most annoying.Any idea how widespread this problem is, or if it is something that Google has disabled deliberately?
Me too... but I'm able to download using JellyBean... but ICS can't..
Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S
Hi, today arrived my Moto E. I turned it on, and then I went to playstore so I can update all my apps. I went to subsection My apps and Installed. It were loading for several minutes, but nothing appeared. I decided to delete data and cache from the playstore and reboot phone to see if the problem was solved, but it remained the same way. Then I search in the google play store for motorola and I was able to update each app one by one. My question is why doesn't the apps appear as installed apps on the playstore, and how can I solve this problem.
Thanks.
Sometimes apps don't appear when the google play services or google play store is updating. The update can range between 35-0 MB. This might be the case ass your device is just out-of-the-box.
It can also happen because your account isn't properly synced. To verify, go to Settings>Google>Sync now (from the 3 dot menu on the right side)
Hope this solves the issue for you
Firstly, I don't receive any notifications for any updates. In addition when I manually go in to update, it updates one, MAYBE two apps (out of several), then just closes down play store, no force close, no error or anything.
Secondly, the installation notifications aren't sticking in the notification bar when they're updated. I see them rolling on the status bar "downloading"/"installing" but there are no notifications when I pull it down.
Lastly I just found out that remote install from the web doesn't seem to be working either.
I have tried clearing cache and data for Play Store, Play Services and download manager (incidentally, I have two? One named Download Manager and one named Downloads (same exact version number))
I have just tried installing the newest Play Store apk 4.8.22, and clearing dalvik and cache from recovery didn't work either.
Can anyone shed some light?
Could I maybe reflash gapps? would I lose a ton of settings and things?
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.
