Problems with Google Play Store - TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys,
The other day I flashed an experimental CM10.1 nightly along with the most recent stable gapps for 10.1. Everything seems to be working OK, but the Play Store doesn't load at all. I've tried various things, including different WiFi networks, but nothing works. I can load web pages in both Chrome and the stock browser, so I think it's a gapps problem.
Any ideas? Does anyone know which gapps I should flash?

What exactly happens? Does Google Play open at all?
You can try flashing: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip. Make sure to wipe cache and dalvik cache beforehand in recovery.
If that doesn't work, try heading to Settings>Apps>Google Play Services>Uninstall Updates, and Settings>Apps>Google Play Store>Uninstall Updates.
Good luck.

Yes, it opens, but immediately says "No Connection."

That's the zip I used originally. I didn't wipe the caches the first time, so I guess I'll try reflashing it.

I'll do that and post back with the results. Thanks for the help.

I was able to alleviate the no connection bug by flashing the gapps package posted above after clearing cache and dalvik cache.

I just cleared the caches and reflashed and it works perfectly.
Thanks again!

im getting problems connecting to servers on updates. clean wipe and rollbacks did nothing. working off the newest nightly released through goo. thinking i might have to do full wipe in order to restore, and not sure if that will even fix the problem. any tips?

first of all check your hosts file

At first I wasn't able to open the Play store at all. Reflashed with Gapps, cleared caches. Now I can open the store, but any time I try to update apps I get the error:
"Update for __________ could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])"
Any ideas?
EDIT: removing my gmail account and then setting it up again along with clearing the data for google play and services seems to have done the trick.

Google Now Closes on CM10

I've been running the latest CM10 nightlies with no mayor bugs. I've been using CM10 for 5 days now and I've yet to experience the call bug, so this is just minor nuisance.
Whenever I try to open the latest Google Search, the app shows up, but then It hides in about 2-3 seconds automatically, no matter what I do.
I already tried clearing the cache, and reinstalling the app, but this behavior continues. I tried this also, but it didn't helped.
Anyone else having this issue? Any recomendations?

yes sir, uninstall google search update and clear cache and data after uninstalling. your google now will work again
Yeah it's probably a problem with the data. Clear cache and reinstall. To no sure you don't run into this problem again you should try repartitioning your phone to 512MB if you haven't already, so you have more space in your systems folder. I believe this will help Google now run more consistently

So the problem is with the update? I uninstalled it and it's working now. Any workarounds?

[Q] Updating Nightlies Without reinstalling apps

Hi,
Is it possible to upgrade/update the nightly build without reinstalling the apps or losing data?
I would like to apologise in advance if this question has been asked and answered already.
Thanks in advance.

Yes. When updating to a newer build of the same ROM I always wipe cache and dalvik. Some ROMs (Avatar) also recommend wiping system as well. If you wipe system you will have to reinstall gapps. But as long as you do not wipe data all your apps, texts, etc. will still be there.

Thanks kwyrt, will give it a shot.
It worked - but needed some additional tweaking

Quick update:
I followed the method indicated by kwyrt. The update worked fine, but I had some problems with my 3G (I am a GSM user). Also Google Play Store force closed everytime I tried to access it.
I redid the update process, but this time, I also installed the latest Gapps (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip) and the gsm patch (signed_gsm_patch.zip) along with the latest nightly. I also wiped the cache and dalvik (5 times for good measure). Happy to report all is well with my D4 now and it is updated to the latest nightly build.

Google Play does not work

I am running jcsullins cm10.1 experimental Bluetooth ROM, latest jbgapps for job 4.2.2. Google Play does not work anymore. It roles no it install any new app when I click on "install". Also, Google play freezes when I try to get to "settings". I had already reinstalled gapps, cleaned cache, with no help. I would appreciate any clues. Tks.

If you have some apps installed, Take a Nandroid Backup and then wipe data, system, cache, everything.
And then install the ROM and GApps.
I Hope this should help you.

From what rom did you come before updating to the experimental?
I am also having the play store not loading on the same bluetooth experimental rom. Since installing with GooManager last night with no system cleaning. I didnt install any new gapps everything carried over from the previous rom. I think the previous rom was one the first if not the original cm rom for the tp dual booting webOs with moboot. It is also not showing charging but the percent stayed at 86% through multiple reboots and 30 mins of web surfing. I turned it off last night with it plugged in and now it is showing 93%. The wifi icon is grey but I still have internet on the tp.
Just loaded WebOS and it is showing 96% and charging.
I am not complaining and have yet to diagnosis or really trouble shoot. A fresh install might fix my problems and I will probably try it in a day or two. I dont need to save anything.
I think JC's bluetooth rom had a bug in it that caused play store issues. The bug was fixed in a later nightly but I don't think JC ever released a new version. I remember reading about it at rootzwiki - head over there and do a quick search. Maybe there is a fix you can install in recovery.

[Q] I messed up my Google Play Services - need help

Hi there, I messed up a bit
Im on CM11 M11 Snapshot, Unlocked bootloader on my SP and I caused a problem with Google Play Services, I tried to integrate the updated APK into the system partition using Titanium Backup, it froze and couldn't finish the operation and now I cant seem to get onto the Play Store to update services. Ive tried clearing data/cache for Play Store, Services, and account manager, Ive tried removing my Google account and re-adding it (Didn't work at first, but now I'm signed in) and Ive tried removing those 3 apps and then re flashing the Gapps package but there is always an error with Google Play Services and it requires an update from Play Store but it cant connect to it because of the problem Ive created with Services.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I don't want to wipe my Data partition / do a factory reset as Ive spent the past week setting up the phone and getting all the apps back that I needed.
I have been in the same way, messed my gapps so bad that one day. The fix is easy. All you need to do is wipe the system, and then flash the gapps again. No need to wipe data.

Wait? What? Won't kill boot/bootloader/rom doing that?
However I've the same problem: play services (all google apps, drive, maps, youtube) stopped to work. They start but can't connect to google account.
So I tried clearing its data and cache, but nothing. I removed the account and now I can't create it anymore: it says there's a problem communicating with google servers.
Install apps from playstore site, gives a 906 error.

No, it wont kill the ROM. But beware, you will need to reflash the ROM zip and gapps.
I didn't mention it in the quoted post, but that guy understood me lel
Well, I was pretty sure. XD
I'll backup, install rom, gapps, reboot, rom update, reboot
I'm really start to hate the play services ahahah

[Q] Chrome constantly crashes

I have an M7 running Viperone 7.0.2 and have been for quite a while.
Last night I got the message that chrome had stopped working and every time I try and relaunch it crashes again instantly.
Nothing has changed that I am aware of and I have tried uninstalling, resinstalling, wiping cache and wiping delvik cache. Nothing helps.
Can anyone suggest a fix or something else I can try?
