Hello. I'm currently having a problem with my work tablet as it's been installing random Chinese apps itself.
I believe the problem started occurring on Sunday when my son was downloading and installing games to play. However i deleted all the games he downloaded and though it fixed my problem but it didn't.
Factory reset and disabling google play installs didn't seem to help anything either. I tried running an virus scan with app called "Malwarebytes Security" but it picked up nothing so i'm guessing it's not an malware?
I'm currently on a work trip in Germany till 14th of December so i don't have access to my computer during the time i'm in here.
The phone model is Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 SM-T805
I'd be very grateful for any help with my problem as i'm running out of ideas.

Hi everybody
I have been reading this forum many times but no luck in finding the solution.
I have bought my self a POV Protab2XXl last week with Android 4.0
But since the market was updated to Google play i only have problems.
There are many apps i suddenly can not find anymore ( like facebook ) or some apps i try to install i get the message "your device isn't compatible with this item"
I have tried many things based on the forum. I have changed the density, but that one is set to 160 which is ok and other density does not help either.
Did clear cache and everything else you can do to remove old data, but without luck.
Yesterday i reflashed it to android 2.3 and updated to new market. all problem is gone.. What changed in 4.0 and the new google play that the market behaves like this ??
Anybody else having these issues?
I am having lots of problems with Google Play this morning. On the Web side I can not see my rooted Kindle Fire. On the KF side I cannot install any apps.
I just got off the phone with Google Tech support. His suggestion was to roll back to Market since people are having problems with rooted devices and Play.
Is anyone else experiencing problems with a rooted KF and the Google Play app store? Any suggestions?
EDIT: I unselected my KF under devices on the Play web site and then I was able to install an app from the KF. WTF?
My Google Play Store stopped working yesterday after the newest Asus Transformer Prime update. It worked before, now I'm getting lots of server errors & connection timeouts.
Same here, almost seems as if someone DoS the servers...
I do not think this is directly relevant to an update, more like an infrastructure problem at Google's servers

I'm also having FCs all the time when I start downloading an app since yesterday (ver. 3.5.15). If I clear data and cache in app preferences, I can start the play store again - but still not download possible. The app crashes also when I try to install an app from the web interface.
SOLVED for me:
- I moved com.android.vending.apk from data/app to system/app,
- booted into recovery,
- cleared cache and dalvik cache,
- booted and everything works now.

Hello wise members of XDA,
This problem has been a tumulus week of trial and error to no avail.
About a week ago (approx. the time when the new web Google Play redesign went live), I've started having problems with my Play Store.
I wanted to open my play store, but it immediately crashed.
I'm on an international Samsung GT-I9100 (GalaxyS2), and this problem is not phone specific, because it occurs on a friend HTC Desire, and a Galaxy Note, and also a pair of Galaxy S Duos.
1. My phone was initially rooted, and I also had Market Enabler Installed. I thought that may be the problem, so I reverted the Market Enabler changes, but still crashed.
2. I went into applications and cleared the cache and data for the Play Store app, it again crashed.
3. Cleared cache and data for play store app, google framework services app, and everything with google in its name or connected to google, and it crashed again.
4. Did the same thing as no. 3, and then restarted the phone, and it crashed again.
5. Did a factory reset, and it crashed.
6. Reinstalled my Galaxy S2 Stock OS, but instead of just crashing, now the phone freezes and reboot is required.
7. Wiped everything on the usb storage and the other storage, and installed Stock OS, and it crashed again.
8. Rooted that brand new os install, and it crashed again.
9. Installed the new Play Store App (4.2.3) and it crashed again.
10. Downgraded Play Store app, and nothing, crashed again.
11. Is there anything left to try?
The problem is, when entering the play store it crashes. If somehow I open the play store so that the landing page of the play store is avoided, it works (e.g. If I google search for an app, and open the play.google.com link on my phone, and when it prompts me to open it via Play Store, then it is opened via play store). Then I can go into 'My Apps', but the 'installed' tab shows nothing, whereas the 'all' tab, shows the history of my installed and unistalled apps.
This problem is with 2 of my GalaxyS2, 2 Galaxy S Duos, Galaxy Note (N7000), and my friend's HTC Desire (running 4.2).
For any ideas, please chime in, I'm willing to try anything.
Currently I'm on stock 4.1.2 and rooted with Philz kernel.
Totally same for me i tried all above too but i think this problem will be common wide for all.
Pls a solution

Just found out another guy with a ZTE has this problem as well. I'm starting to think that this may be a regional problem.
Bump!
Anyone else experiencing this, or is it just one specific country?
Crash problem Solved
Ok, after going through the browser and updating the Google+ app, that initiated the Google Play Services update, which in turn fixed the Google Play Store crash problem.
Now the problem is the same as everyone else that is not living in the US. Getting geographical restricted apps.
For our country, there are NO apps at all.
Market Enabler, Market Unlocker Pro, and HotspotShield do not work. Anyone else have any ideas?
Hi guys,
I am a newbie here, so I will just explain it in layman's terms. I am running Android 4.3 on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 variant. Its not rooted. I have been using it since I bought it a year ago, with no problems. Since yesterday my Gmail, Play Store, Hangouts are not working and it always give "No Connection" error. I tried clearing up the cache, clearing up the data of Google Play Store and Google Play Services as many other forums and threads have advised, but it's not working. I also tried the factory reset, and it went crazier as I wasn't able to sign in my Google Account in the first place. After trying again and again and again it miraculously signed in, but I still cannot access Google's other apps. I thought somehow the host file can be responsible for it but I don't know how it could be or how to fix it, if it is the culprit. I will be grateful to you guys if you can help out here
Thanks

I have the same issue on a GT-I9505 since tuesday 27/05, reseting the phone makes things work for about 15 minutes, then they all stop working.
I am going to try to figure out if it was something that got installed in the last few days, if all fails I will try a factory reset and later a new ROM.
So for almost a year I had my phone rooted on Android 5.0.2, but when Marshmallow came to my device I decided to unroot and install the latestbuild. The only problem I have had with it since is applications rarely download, no matter how I try. Downloading applications from the play store fails. Downloading from unofficial sources such as apkmirror.com gives me the same problem. I also noticed more recently that when I try to download music from the google play music app that fails too. Strangest of all is anything else that requires internet, such as using Chrome browser or Gmail, works fine. On some days i don't have issues, but most days no luck. Does anyone know how to diagnose this issue?
Good day everyone first post here and really seeking some help to a headache i'm facing. I know it's long but please bare with me.
What is happening
So this all started when i was frustrated that i only have 80Mb of internal storage on my phone and every time i need to update whatsapp i need to uninstall it and install it again. I looked up some things i can do and what i found was SD maid and it worked really well, it removed junk files and log files to the point where i had 800Mb open i was smiling bright haha, i reinstalled whatsapp with no problem.....a little bit later my phone starts to vibrate every 10 seconds and then 3 seconds later another and this has been going on for the last day. I uninstalled whatsapp thinking that it may have caused this to happen in some way and then i noticed that it's not the cause, my phone is still vibrating and lagging so i checked my running apps and saw that google play services had two services, one running fine and then i noticed that the other one is restarting every 10 seconds, so every time my phone vibrates it restarts.
My setup
Samsung pocket android 2.3.6
Rooted
What i have tried:
First thing i did was cleared Play store and services cash and data and i also did the framework.
It didn't work so i uninstalled play store to factory default and uninstalled services as well, so then installed the latest version from apkmirror.
I also installed a older version just to make sure it's not the latest version that's having this problem.
Things i noticed
The service that get's restarted each time is: com.google.data.gms.persistence and when it's running it's name is google fit.
When i installed whatsapp again just to have it while my phone vibrates like this, i could not finish the install because i needed to authenticate my google drive ownership and it fails to do so because i think the service that handles the syncing is the one that's restarting
I do not know what to do about it because i have tired what i can think of, so if anyone has any idea what i can do i would incredibly appreciate it
Does anyone have any idea to what i can do? the only thing that i can think of is to reset the phone and that would suck
Hey all so after a whole day of trying to fix my phone i finally think i got it working.
So what i did was backup my phone's data and the factory reset my phone.....it was fine for a bit but when i needed to install google play services the problem came back, i downloaded it from the play store so there was no problem with that. So what fixed it for me was installing a much older version of the play services app (latest version is something like: 9.4.xx and the one i installed was 8.3.01) The older version does not make my phone vibrate and also my play store runs faster now as well.
At the end of the day i didn't need to factory reset my phone i just needed to install a much older play services. Hope this helps someone else in the future have a awesome day.
