How I Fixed This
I just had the same issue (using SHOstock ROM 1.9.4, Android 2.3.6, kernal 2.6.35.7) and fixed it by clearing the application cache:
- goto settings
- then applications
- then manage applications
- select Google Play Store
- select Clear cache and Clear data
Hope this works for you.
I have the same problem as well. just started happening today.
The clearing cache/data method does work for me to get back into the Google Play Store, but whenever I try to download anything, it then crashes again. I can browse and view applications. But once I click the accept & download button on any application, it then forces Google Play Store to close. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Google Play Foce Close on Polaroid tablet
I've attempted the steps from the previous posters and am running running Android 2.3.4 on a Polaroid PMID701C with the 3.4.7 version of Play Store and I can browse files, download them and as soon as the download completes the "Sorry! ...(process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Force Close" window appears.
I hope someone who understands this OS better than me can help. By the way, this device didn't come with any Market/Store program loaded so I found the apk on the net and downloaded it, if that matters.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Polaroid PMID701C PLAY STORE
I have this tablet and experienced the same issue. I only have a few minutes right now...but this has to do the read write permissions I believe. There are several forums that outline the install procedure and fix, in this case. Google Play/Market install to tablets and look there. If you have no luck I will check later tonight for some solid links. Good luck-
First post for me in a few years ! Same problem here. HTC Desire, Rooted, S-Off, Redux 1.1.2 ROM. Market updated to Google Play Store, loaded OK, I can search apps etc but as soon as I try to download, or update it crashes with the error message.
Once it has crashed it will not load until I clear cache - it then loads OK but the same happens when I try to download or update an app.
Market was built into the Redux ROM so I've now removed that using File Manager and also removed Market update. Still the same. I've spent the last 2 hours googling for an answer without any success. It appears that most people get a cure by deleting the cache (or maybe they think they have but haven't tried to download!)
I deleted downloadproviderUI.apk and downloadprovider.apk and it didnt work because of that , just add them if you thought they were bloatware and deleted them like I did -_- from the custom rom .zip , delete cache , delete play store , download latest , copy it to /system/app and name it to market.apk and should work fine , works fine for me now , downloads and updates
Google had released the new play store apk. The version is 3.5.16. Have a look on it.

I tried to manually install 3.5.16 over 3.5.15. It fubared my device where it constantly FC'd the app. Couldn't delete it after that so had to restore a back up. Fair warning.

Thanks for the advice but it hasn't worked for me. This is so annoying !!
Hi,
Yesterday and today I bought some of the apps that were on sale. The problem is, I cannot install them, because after the play downloads them, it says "package file is invalid".
I googled the problem, tried to do what other people recommended to do - wipe cache/dalvik, FC the play store/google services framework and clear data and reboot, nothing worked. I even uninstalled a few big apps (Chrome, Ashpalt, etc) and it didn't work.
I should mention:
1. Free apps are working fine
2. I have a modded play store since I'm currently on a 210 DPI. That means the play store thinks my DPI is 240.
I'm using a rom based on CM10 nightly 23.9.
I hope you can help me,
Thanks!
Use file manager and navigate the root directory which in system/app and look up the one called odex file something like that,Delete it and try install the app again.
That's what I thought to, but I didn't find any odex files in there. Any other suggestions?
have you try to clear the market cache?
Of course, I wrote it down in the first post.
Also tried to remove my google account from the device and then re-adding it.
Oh sorry mate..My bad,Well i did facing this experience once cuz on that time i do upgrading my phone to ics rom,After clearing my cache and some other thing,I notice that the file were in my system/app was the fact that distracting me from installing apps in play store.
Thanks anyway
Does anyone else has an idea?

I couldn't Install Play Store Services from Play Store. It was showing as "already installed". So I downloaded an apk file of Play Store Services and installed. That didn't work. Then I tried factory resetting. That didn't work too. I was not able to login to my google account. There were 2 google settings icon in the app drawer too. I suppose it happened because I tried to install the apk file.
Then I did format system and reinstalled my OS. Now my phone is working fine.

Hello, my name is Rob and I'm new to XDA but I've used your forums before to help me root my Coolpad and this new phone (kudos)
So I bought this phone a little over a month ago and I've been super severely disappointed in it.
I'll just start off quickly by telling you a little behind my purchase...
I needed to upgrade from the Coolpad 3G that I had been using for months with Sprint's pre-paid and I was planning on getting a Samsung Galaxy.
Well they had to run my credit and I couldn't put down the $200+ deposit they wanted for the S5. So the guy brought up this HTC Desire that was on sale for $99.99 or whatever, without and research or anything I went ahead and bought it because I desperately needed a new phone with 4G capability for my new job... the sales guy sold me on it having 8 GB internal storage (Which was a huge lie... thanks, man), 1 GB of RAM, a solid quadcore processor and a decent camera.
I immediately got home and realized that there was only barely 1 Gigabyte of free storage and I about threw a fit but I knew I needed the phone so I kept it and I took the next step, (Rooting it so I could install and run link2SD)
So I went through the long, tedious process of rooting my phone and putting TWRP, superuser, etc. on it and got my link2SD going.
The day after I finished rooting my phone these errors started popping up and telling me that I had an update I needed to install and download:
(I guess I can't post the pictures I want to post on here until I make 10 posts? so I uploaded screencaps all to this directory)
http :// skakills.com /HTC/
It made it so I can't even use my Gmail or my hangouts app on the phone (Gmail being the most important) this is seriously distressing.
also , this update pops up every few hours and I have tried to install it but it just bounces me back to the recovery TWRP screen and I can't seem to figure it out.
I work a double shift at work every day, I play in 2 bands and I've scoured the internet, forums and lost tons of sleep over this, I just want to be able to use this phone for a few more months without these issues, if anyone has any kind of idea what I can do to fix the errors and get my updates installed or if there is a better option (I'm okay with wiping / resetting since my apps and pictures are all backed up) let me know ASAP, please and thank you very much!
-Rob

Download an app killer/disabler of your choice (I use Titanium Backup but it's the paid version) after you install it look through all the apps on your phone and find this one "updater" and freeze/disable it and then reboot the updating will stop and the reason you can't install it is because the phone is no longer stock and you unlocked the bootloader.
Regarding the play store problem open internet and search for the latest version of play store and then download the version via internet by searching for the version to download like this Google Play version 5.8.8 APK Download and after downloading the APK install it and reboot into twrp and clear the dalvic cache and cache reboot and the problem should be gone.

I really appreciate the help as far as that update thing goes.
I guess I didn't explain the part with the GMail and the hangout apps.. it is only those apps that are affected, I guess I will try uninstalling the gmail and hangout apps again because I try to launch them but it gives the "Unknown issue with Google Play Services" error and then force closes.
Also every once in a while it is giving me a weird 'Google Music' error .
I will try to freeze that update thing with Titanium backup (I have the full version I got on my old phone I just haven't installed it on here yet)
Once again, thanks a lot I really appreciate the quick response and I hope to check more of the forums out soon.

Well if you fix the Google play store error you'll be able to update your Gmail and Hangouts apps.. I fixed them before by first fixing the play store problem. Go into twrp and select wipe and choose cache and dalvic because it will help.

Okay so I froze the 'Updater' app, rebooted and I think that it has stopped which is good.
I still am getting this Google Play Services Error every few minutes, I downloaded the Google Play .apk , installed it, rebooted into recovery and cleared the dalv and regular cache but I'm still seeing this error come up... I even tried to disable Google Play Services notifications and just accept that it won't ever go away but it is still happening. I'm still not sure of the actual cause of these errors, at least I can use GMail and Hangouts now because I just restored the factory versions.

If I were you, I'd download the entire gapps package (google apps) it's between 150 and 250MB in size and it's a zip so you can install it via recovery I'm pretty sure your problem will go away if you get the updated gapps for your phone.

Yes there is a site but no entire Google apps package is an apk it's in zip format and all you need to do is download it to your sd card and then boot into recovery and tap install then navigate to wherever you saved the download to and tap to select it for installation and after the install go back to the home page and select wipe and then on the next window select dalvic and cache then swipe the bottom to wipe them both and then reboot and you should be good to go.. Here's the package
In this package you will find the core Google system base, off-line speech files, Google Play Store, FaceUnlock, Google Bookmarks Sync, and the following Play Store applications:
Google + | Google Calendar (replaces stock/AOSP Calendar) | Google Now Launcher | Google Play services | Google Search | Google Text-to-Speech | Gmail | Hangouts | Maps | Street View on Google Maps | YouTube

What rom and kernel do you happen to be using? Try this too though tap settings then apps and look for the Play Store and tap into it and then force close it and then scroll down and delete the data and when it says all user accounts will be deleted or whatever just say yes and then go back to your home and reopen the Play Store and try to use it again after it logs your account back in.
Edit: Do you see Google play services in your app list? Uninstall the update if it says to uninstall update on it and then update it again then try to use stuff.

You should try pattiboi new kernel that he put up yesterday because it's pretty smooth running and my phone is much better than it was before.. Did you uninstall updates to the Play services and try to update it again?
Edit:
Do you have titanium backup? If so I need you to download this version of Google play services and install it but first use titanium backup to fully uninstall the Google play services that's on your phone.. Here's the link for the Google play services version 8.1.15 make sure you don't tap the one that says get it on Google play store because obviously you can't use the Play Store so tap the one next to it, it looks like this "d Download" after you downloaded it install it and reboot your phone...

yes I have Titanium backup. I'll try this new kernel, yeah I tried to uninstall updates for Play services but there wasn't even an option for it.

You should try fixing your problem before going to the other kernel.
All you need to do is delete Google play services in Titanium Backup and then download the one I gave you and install and then reboot.
Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.
yes I had an issue downloading facebook messenger app.. it crashed.. I downloaded it for Amazon store and it worked perfectly from there.. I am sadly using 5.1.1.. with Play Store installed via adb..
Inbox is a known problem, was mentioned on threads about installing the play store.
Google contacts works on mine though, though maybe I installed it through gapps.

I am getting the message about the services being outdated but I can't do anything as it just redirects me to the failed play login. I have no idea what version of Play store this is, its just whatever was pushed via the zip file. I am going to do a factory reset and try again.
For the record, did you do this on 5.1.1. or did you do this on 5.0.1 and then update?

I updated via OTA to 5.1.1 then installed play store via adb.. I suggest that you uninstall all the four apps of google that the zip file installed which are Google Play Services.. Google Services Framework.. Google Accounts.. and Google Play Store.. then install them again via the same adb then reboot.. that's what I did actually.. I hope this will help..
Woooot

Wow, not sure why that worked, but uninstalled and pushed via ADB again and wha-la! Now I can at least use this tablet the way I want until someone comes up with a root solution.
Thanks!:highfive:

Does anyone have any issues with certain apps from the play store that just crash when opened? Apps like IMDB, google Inbox, Google contacts just crash when they are opened. Why is that? I am running the google now launcher with typical root, play store setup etc.

Someone in another thread told me to try the Amazon app store version of IMDb if I was using the stock rom. I tried it and it works perfectly. I did have to unistall the Google version before the Amazon one would install. It's worth a try with some of the other apps to see if it works for them too.
I'm running Fireos 5.01
Rooted with google play services installed.
I have removed all the bloat suggested and don't intend to use any amazon apps.
In any case, the two problems i have are slightly strange.
1. I can't seem to install any .apk that doesn't come from google play store (I have Dev options opened an unknown sources checked)
2 I Can't add any widgets to my Home screen, when i try the widgets just disappear.
None of these two problems are show stoppers for me and I have all the removed .apks uploaded to mega in case i find i need any of them.
Has anyone else seen this?

To get widgets to work, I had to make my launcher (Apex) a system app. I tried titanium backup first, but it seemed to have trouble doing it. I finally downloaded an app called /system/app mover from Google play store and it worked. I can add widgets now.
Thanks for the information s14sh3r.
Sorry for the late reply
However I already had Titanium backup installed so i thought i would try to see if i have the same problem with TB as you.. sure i did it hang then locked me out of the launcher a reboot brought it back.
So i headed over to the market and picked up system app mover and run that after installing busybox.
Funny thing was, it was already marked as a system app... errr I guess TB almost made it happen any idea's i do have another launcher available also i have a pro copy of Apex so would i need to make the pro key and the widgets app, a system app.
Update
I got it working by getting "system app mover" to move the app back to where is was, I rebooted then i made it a system app once again,
Rebooted and selected "Apex launcher" and Bingo!
I have access to widgets again
Thanks for your help s14sh3r.

Happy to hear you gt it working. One thing I've noticed is I seem to have to reboot more to get thinhs to work. Considering how cheap the tablet is, I can live with that :laugh:
I have a problem with Instagram after I installed latest CyanogenMod rom.
From the Play store it's written: " Your device is not compatible with this version" (it's translated from italian,not really sure if it's 100% right ).
Before I rooted my device in order to install Cyano rom,I had the original firmware with Play store installed and Instagram was not only avaiable but worked smoothly.
Any idea of how to fix it?
BTW...I tried to get back to the original firmware following the related tutorial but there's no way to make the device "visible"to the pc via usb through the embedded recovery mode (quite strange because I can flash without problem TWRP recovery using adb tool by cmd line).
So...I'm in trouble even if I want to get back to the original firmware...any help will be (again) really welcome .
Thanks in advance.
Mostly the advice is the same sideload the app if play store won't let it install.
You can use this to go back to stock http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/howto-install-fireos-5-1-1-root-gapps-t3265594
If you do go back to 5.0.1 in TWRP by renaming the 5.0.1 bin to end .zip remember to stay offline until you've turned OTA off unless you don't want TWRP any more.
Thanks a lot for your advice...I I'll try it later ?.
Well,finally I fixed it simply downloading the apps in .apk files into the device and installing them directly from it,easier than I thought .
Thanks a lot for helping me.
