google play server error
I have the same problem with my samsung galaxy note. last app i downloaded before it happened was twiter. but it was ok even for a wbile after that. I cleared the cache and app data but still it says server error and no error code given only retry button shown. does anybody know how to fix this.
Hi all,
I fixed problem but you need to have rooted phone and install MarketEnabler app, here is a Google Play Server Error quick FIX http://viewoneworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/google-play-server-error-quick-fix - my blog post about it.
Its problem with some regional/provider specific markets/plays so you just need to fool it that you are from other region/provider...
Let me know if you have any problem with this fix...
Thanks.So It is Google Play shop issue not our devices.I sent e-mail to google play shop support but no reply yet.
I do not want to root my devices.It is google responsibility to provide support and allow google play shop to work globally not only in few regions.If Google will not fix this issue,I will say good buy to android and will buy Iphone.
I updated my post with US VPN solution that works even if device is not rooted http://viewoneworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/google-play-server-error-quick-fix check it out!
Thanks.I sorted out my issue.I am using my Galaxy note in Libya.Today I changed my Libyan SIM and used my Egypt SIM and Google play shop connected immidiatly.
Now I removed my Egypt Sim and using Libyan sim and it is working very well.It seems that Google restricted Few Regions/Countries to get access.
Wrong time settings !!
In my case this problem was solved with correcting the time settings. After last update my Note use to pick up wrong time with auto-time update. I corrected time and switched to manual time settings. Immediately the google play connected.
I added permanent fix solution for #GooglePlay server error on my blog post http://viewoneworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/google-play-server-error-quick-fix/
With all the negativity about google music not being available in the UK, or outside the US in general, i figured this may be good news for some here.
I'm not sure if this has been covered before or not so here goes.
I basically found a way to get the google music service working in the UK, no fake google accounts, settings to change or anything like that is needed here at all.
If you just try and go to music.google.com from outside the US you normally get a message saying it's unavailable so here i tell you how to get around this for quick and easy access to the ability to store 20000 songs for free.
1. Go to www.unblock-us.com and sign up for a free 7 day trial by giving them your email address. This site is great for also accessing other US content such as US netflix and all sorts of other things outside the US (I actually subscribe to this service as i think it's brilliant, others may not want to do so).
2. Update your DNS settings on your computer/laptop/router as per the guides on the above site.
3. Once up and running on the Unblock-US DNS, fire up your favourite browser and go to music.google.com and sign in. NOTE you will no longer get the message saying it's for users in the US only.
4. Set up Google music, download the music manager to your computer and start uploading music.
5. You can now remove the Unblock-US DNS settings and go back to using your normal settings. Your Google account will still work even if using a non US internet connection and you will be able to access the Google music site from any computer.
6. Enjoy Google music anywhere, on any connection.
Please hit the thanks button if this helps.

You can also use the TOR browser, keep refreshing until you have a US based proxy then just navigate to Google music and register your account. Once you've registered you can use Google music anywhere (normal browser, android app, etc)

You can do all of that using way simpler methods via Hotspot Shield or a web based proxy (e.g. hidemyass.com).
I'm pretty sure this subject has been covered before here on XDA, but thanks anyway. :good:
Had access for a while, been able to do this since the day it launched. I even managed to get some of the free music.
As someone who occasionally buys music (I know some must think I'm mad to pay for it) I'd like the option of being able to use the store. Its no problem though i just buy elsewhere and let my PC add it.

I'd probably see if tunlr.net works first.. no point in paying for something you can get free.
I wish google would start rolling out some of this stuff.. they put all these features into jelly bean then when you run the OS you get the same old..
I used tunnelbear a few weeks back. Was a painless installation, adequate speeds since I just had to accept the google music terms and conditions, painless removal from my computer and I was up and running with google music in 5 minutes or less.
when I was signing up I just used a SSH tunnel to a (virtual)server I rent in the US worked fine.
I would also like the ability to be able to actually purchase music from the google store, my music collection is in dire need of an update.
Is it also possible to get google magazines and google books working?
Google music is up and running at my phone for about 5 months now.
Market Unlocker is the easiest in my opinion. Pro version fetches proxy automatically and all you have to do is turn it on.

I also used TunnelBear. Really easy and quick to setup. I had tried the Tor browser before but didn't have any joy. So I recommend TunnelBear.

The apps themselves work, but whenever I try to make purchases, it tells me that I need a US credit/debit card
But I have been trying to get hold of some prepaid voucher american/canadian visas in order to counter this, but there don't seem to be any available to buy online.
So if any Americans fancy going to a local store for me and buying a couple, please do (will pay obviously...:cyclops

wow! thanks. i installed tunnel bear, registered in google music and then uninstaled tunnel bear and it works!
i'm in portugal using Google Music
thanks!
is there a chance that once Google Music comes to the UK, users who used this work around could be affected from not using the UK service?

I bought some music the other day with my Aussie credit card. I set a US address (hint: look up real estate sites for a genuine address ) and set this as my default shipping and billing address. You have to do this in http://wallet.google.com prior to logging on to http://music.google.com. Remember to reset this for your regular purchases through the Play Store.
I've had Google Music in Canada for months now. Used super hide ip and signed up.
I'm unsure if it's harder to sign up now then it was when I signed up.

Music uploaded not showing on tablet
Hi guys
I have a problem with this process. I used Tunnel Bear and i was able to install Music Manager without a glitch. As i type this my music library is uploading at a steady rate. I live in Spain (where the Nexus is available since just a couple of days, although no music service so far) but bought the Nexus 7 trough a friend in Canada a few weeks ago (could not wait, ha). The Google Music app is, therefore, preinstalled, but my music so far is not showing at all. There`s only a message to use USB to transfer music locally. I did try to sideload the app, but it did not make any difference. Same result rebooting the tablet. Nothing showing. So far i have about 100+ songs uploaded, but there`s nothing to show for in my tablet. Surely i`m doing something wrong?

Got the exact same problem! Not working on nexus 7 with preinstalled music.app but its working on my galaxy s2 using the music.apk provided by xda!
Any solutions? Would be great to be able to use the app on nexus 7!
Just picked up my Nexus 7 today on launch day in Holland and will definitely be trying any of the aforementioned options.
Thanks so much for the valuable info.

Have you both tried clearing the app data in settings? That should fix it
BTW, +1 for tunnel bear. I was trying for over an hour using various proxys, none worked. This did it in 2 mins. Got over 2 thousand songs on now, not even a 1/3 of the way through......
As everyone knows Google Play outside the US is very restricted, I've been looking for ways to bypass the security and use the full Google Play in my Nexus 7. I've only found several links that let me use Google Music but after trying lots of ways I finally discovered a way to do it on the Nexus 7 without any problem (A CC is needed but it wont be charged).
Steps:
1. First of all you need to set up a Credit Card in Google Wallet, google.com/wallet/ as it's needed for authentication.
You can use any CC just use the real billing information.
2. After this you shall see your card info at the Payment methods section, click edit and change the country to US and the address to any real US address (Just Google any real address with a zip code). NOTE: Google Wallet doesn't check your billing info so there is no problem with this.
3. Now you have to set up any Google Play service, I started with Google Music as it is the easiest. Go to music.google.com and the page should load normally, just accept everything and it will let you download music manager. Now you have just set up Google Music, try it by adding a song to your folder and let it sync with your Nexus 7.
4. Now after doing this Google validates that you have a real US account so the next thing to do is get all the other Google Play services. In your Nexus 7 tablet add the My Library widget to any screen, then it will ask you to select any service (Music, Books, Magazines and Movies & TV), try adding Books, then touch the widget and it will take you to the app, click enable and there you go, you just activated Play Books Service.
5. Activate all Google Play services and enjoy!!!
NOTE: You can actually shop with google wallet like that, I've tried buying a $1.99 TV episode just to check, it worked and the episode was added to My Library without checking my CC information. After this I went to the Google Wallet site again and in Payment Methods in my card I clicked edit and now you can swap easily between the 2 addresses, I just returned it to normal and every Google Play service keeps working.
Hope this works for you too!!!
Didnt work for me. I removed both by cards, changed my address to a US one, changed my phone number in the settings, changed my language and added one of my cards with the US credentials. Still "The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories." ... BTW does it really be a CREDIT card? As I have a VISA debit card (check card) ...
PS: I used a Canonical Massachusetts address and phone ... If you have a working one, please share!
Worked for me first go in Ireland.
Nice guide man.

+1 to that
Just so you know, this method in no way circumvents payments. You still get charged,
It only circumvents the addressing method allowing for usage in restricted countries.
However, be advised. The issuing banks fraud department may freeze your accounts due to address changing when they receive the transaction statements, and notice rapid address changes. This usually results in about 2 weeks to straighten out, in which case your card will be frozen.
Just sayin......

What if I use US sim card? I have one from the time when even buying apps was not supported in my country ... anyone tried that? If no, I guess Ill check it out when Im back from the dentist ...

Which you have to pay for, whereas this method is free and quite simple.
Anyway I've tried to do it via a VPN before and it won't let you download music, books or movies, it checks the credit card details and then throws and error if it isn't US based, doing it as the OP has shown works perfectly.

How the hell do you enter valid US phone number?
I get either 'invalid area code' or 'number is too long'
I got my address here:
http://www.fakeusaaddress.com/
I already got my account working another way but can't buy music using this method. It rejects my payment at Google Wallet stage, maybe because the billing address doesn't match my Aussie credit card? I suspect for actual purchases they do match off the billing address.
Ok, tried again today but no change. I have a working credit card information in google wallet. I click the "change" option under the card (I dont know how its in english, I have my nexus in czech language), make a US address taken from www.fakeusaaddress.com, everything goes fine. Then I go to music.google.com and ... "The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories." ... dang ...
EDIT: Finally, I figured it out. I used the mentioned site fakeusaaddress.com to get a working US address. Then I changed my billing info (not my own info, only the info with the CC). Then I installed a Chrome plugin called Stealthy (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/stealthy/ieaebnkibonmpbhdaanjkmedikadnoje/related) to fake my position (set United States). Then go to google play and you can buy.
To see the content in your device you need to have Google Music App (installed in device usually), Google Play Videos (installable via Google Play) and Google Play Magazines (installable manually http://www.mediafire.com/?iy923q1amq36q7x).
I tried buying a magazine and a song and worked fine. Although I would prefer using secondary credit card (in case google or my bank get pissed because of me faking billing info lol).
BTW I had to wipe app (Google Music) data to make it refresh online content.
ENJOY!

Do you know if the IP location is a second verification check? Meaning if your account details (billing, cc etc) all check out, does it then look to make sure your IP is based in the US, or are you good to use your account to stream/buy music anywhere in the world?
There is a site mygiftcardsupply.com that is selling Google Play gift cards purchased in the US, which Google has setup to allow people to create accounts without credit cards; I am wondering if this would be sufficient enough to get a US account and stream/buy music while I am in Asia.
Thanks!
Not working for a Canadian here. Gets rejected due to address wrong on my CC. I did all of this through my works US internet connection and as soon as I log into any play store, either device or web, it shows me Canadian content. I log out and I see the US store. I used a relatives address in the US as well with same last name and all. No go. The only thing I care about is US only app restrictions and androiddrawer.com fills that void.

No more available.
I have searched everywhere and I cannot find out how to resolve this. I have Android Pay on my stock unrooted locked Nexus 6 build LYZ28M on T-Mobile sim. I open Android Pay app and it tells me that I need to add a card so I press on the + and it goes to a screen with two old cards that have been removed from my Google account. I try to add a new card which is supported (Discover) and it gives me a network error. Then when I go to my payment method on my laptop the Discover card is added there but still only showing the two old cards in the Android Pay app on my Nexus 6. I then go to my Nexus 7 2013 WiFi and download Android pay, open it up and it shows my new cards added. I then clear the data for Android Pay on my Nexus 6 and it still shows my old cards which are not on my Google account anymore. I even uninstalled Android Pay to where it defaults back to Wallet. I then update back to Android Pay and open it up and it still shows my two old cards. For some reason my Nexus 6 will not sync this app with my Google account. I have tried turning off and then on my sync, manually syncing, restarting my phone, clearing all apps cache, trying over WiFi and mobile data. Anyone have any ideas???
I uninstalled pay to where it goes back to wallet again. I then opened wallet and it shows my new cards... I then update back to pay through the play store. I open pay and it still shows my old cards... WTF
For some of us, Pay just doesn't work even on stock devices, even on the same card (Citi) that used to work fine with Wallet.
I gave up.

Thanks for that link. That is very interesting and a good read. I have gotten a response from Google support:
Thanks for the prompt response!
We appreciate your efforts in sending us all the necessary information to have this fixed! No worries! I have already escalated it with our higher specialist to have this fixed! Rest assured that they will give you a heads up once they are done investigating in your account.
Well without more help from Google support, I have resolved my problem. I was having issues where my gmail would not sync as well. Google searched and came up with this:
http://www.techrepublic.com/article/pro-tip-fix-android-data-sync-issues/
Completely removing my Google account and then re-adding it got my new cards to finally show up and successfully added in Android pay as well as fix my sync issues.
I hope this helps anyone else having similar issues. :good:

Thanks a lot. Works perfectly now on my BlackBerry Priv™ with Marshmallow
So has anyone noticed that the Google Camera app is no longer visible in the play store? It may just be in the USA where I am, but the only way I can find the Google Camera app, is when I'm behind a VPN for another country. Anyone else notice this or know why?
I read something about this the other day. It has disappeared from the Play Store, it's not just in the US. You can still find it on APKMirror.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.GoogleCamera&hl=en
The direct link still works, but unless you own a Nexus 5, 6, 9, 5X or 6P, you will not be able to install it as Google has restricted the app to those devices. Further, you can not search for the app on the PC or the Play Store, which I believe means the link's only purpose is to allow for updating the app for the Nexus line. It's still possible to download it from APK Mirror, but for devices other than the five mentioned, it probably will report an older version, if it installs at all.
The real question is, what is Google planning here? We just don't know.

No idea! What's weird is that I saw people on Reddit saying they were from Canada and they were able to search the app in the playstore, and after using a VPN and spoofing my location, I was able to search it in chrome as well! I'm not sure what they're doing, but it's really strange!
could be a problem of playstore.. this has existed for the past few weeks now.. but searching for the app on google still routes you to the playstore.. wonder why app cant be visible on the playstore itself
There is one other app they have with this behavior: Google Play Services. You can search for com.android.google.gms in the Play Store on both PC and device. However it won't show up, and you have to use a direct link to see it. Unlike Google Camera however, Play Services is for every phone.
Hopefully it's a mistake on Google's part and it will be fixed soon.
For what it's worth, today on nexus 6 with pico open gapps, and AICP 13 (8.0 Oreo), the above link gave "not available in your country" (USA) in browser, but copying the link in the browser had an option/link to play store, which did work, and after install Gcamera works! I was missing photosphere, so thanks!
