Google Play/ Play Store, Server Error !

Since updating from Market to Google Play Store, I have been having different issues with it.
There are alot of Force Closes, a lot of apps 'Are not avaialable on my country..." and what is mostly making me mad, is that it has stopped working since 2 days.
It shows 'Server Error |Retry|'
I have read a lot about this and it seems like Google has made it unavailable to some countries.
Some other usesrs of different phones, have already fixed the issue by creating an app called 'MarketEnabler.apk" I tried installing that app on my Mini, but it doesnt install, reboots my phone in the process.
They seem to have another option for those with unrooted phones, which by connecting to a VPN server.
I also tried that in my brothers unrooted Mini, but it didnt work too.
I would like to know if others have this issue too and if they can help fixing this ..
Thanks for your time.
Google play have new security features and it checks the app compatibility in an advanced manner in newer version there are many compatibility check which will show most of apps unavailable so please downgrade the version of market
Try removing the update (in applications -> all -> market).
Or you could try wiping the application's data. Settings> applications> manage applications> google play store (under all)> clear data.

not everyone.. had 3.5.15 installed and had not a single server error..
I meant every one in my country.
In some forums they say it is happening in different countries, and that Google has disabled it for some time.

I got a phone a couple of days ago, and Market still not working.
So, it's a country thing ?
reinstall Gapps and wipe data
re-install Google play store then wipe data
Try changing your 'Local' settings to the default, load market, close it, set Local settings back and try again. (if the stock language is the one you're using, try switching to something else)
None worked.
Fortunately Google decided to fix this issue and everyone in my country has now a working Google Play.
Oh and by the way, it seems they have decided to once again change its name, now it is Google Play Shop

Go to settings, application manager/All scroll down to Google Play services then clear data. Then go to Google Play Store then there clear data also. Now reboot your phone. See if that works.:thumbup:

I have tried clearing out the cache and data of my Google Play Store but no luck. I haven't tried it to reboot though.
I've read somewhere that I need to update my Google Play Store? If so, what's the latest version? Thank you!
Your on 4.1.10 that's the latest version I think, Google Play updates itself when newer version's are out. Here try this last version for JB 4.1.2. http://d-h.st/DxV. this is Google Play 4.1.6

Try some of these tips.
Clear dalvik-cache and reboot (doesn't have to be all of the dalvik-cache, you can just delete "/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]" and "/data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected] ").Clear the Play Store's data and reboot.Clear Google Services Framework's data and reboot.Delete PS and GSF's ODEX files ("/system/app/Phonesky.odex" and "/system/GoogleServicesFramework.odex") and reboot.Uninstall updates either via Settings->Applications (or whatever it's called in the Android version on your phone/tablet) or manually delete "/data/app/com.android.vending.apk" and "/data/app/com.google.android.gsf.apk" and reboot.Delete your Google account from your phone/tablet, readd it, and reboot.Edit: I forgot to include clearing GSF's data.

Did you get Google Play to work at all after using them tips above. Some find deleting your Google account, reboot phone then relogin again helps.
Sent from my GT-I8190 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I cleared the data off my Google Play Store and restarted the phone. It is working now!
Thank you!
Also one of the possible reasons why it is not working is brcause they were running a maintenance in the time when it was night in the us and day in the rest of the world.

[Q] Google Now not Working on KK

Hi I've tried searching but no answer found, although others have asked. Using Latest MacKay KK 4.1.1 and I am unable to use google now via swype from left. Voice search works. I think the issue is related to an issue I had on a 4.3 Rom where I had to uninstall updates from Google Search and then update via app but unable to do that on KK.
Any solutions?
you must log in in search settings with your Google Account.
then you can activate Google now with swype from left
this works only in the google launcher
As far as I can see I'm logged in. I'm using gel launcher but of I try to open the search app I get a network error. When I had this on 4.3 ROMs I could delete updated from search open search and then update. I'll check settings again and thanks for the reply

I've been researching this issue and it seems that it is also affecting some Nexus 5 users too, Google is apparently working on a fix. If I manage to get a solution I'll post it here
ok, i hope for you that google fix this, but i use Mackay 4.1.1 too and it works perfectly

It seems very hit and miss, some N5 users have the issue some don't it looks to be related to Google account settings
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dumz1opCfuE&feature=youtu.be Try this ROM. Google Now runs fine.
Found a fix of sorts; set up a new Google account on my phone in addition to my normal account and signed in to Google now using that. I read somewhere that there may be a problem with certain Google accounts causing this

Play Store Error

I have searched and called high and low all over Google and talked to reps. Can't seem to kick this Error Code 403. It is only the paid apps that won't download. Tried all sorts of methods of clearing cache to play store, Google services, Google framework, Uninstall updates, Factory resets, Removing accounts and re adding. Clearing cache in recovery. All with restarting before attempting a redownload on both WiFi and mobile networks. Please someone help. Out of the box it does this to me and it sucks.

Had very similar happen with my Mega right out of the box. Not even the techs coukd figure it out.
I went into app manager and force closed app first, then cleared its data and cache.
Go back out and started up play store like normal. Cant remember if I got error first time, but okayed it and started it again. Then it loaded in and havent had issue since

Update the latest version of play store.
Did you have multiple Google accounts on your last phone? Make sure you are downloading the app with the same account that you originally made the purchase with. I had multiple accounts on my S3, then when I got my S5 I only put one of the accounts back on and was getting this error for a few apps even though GPlay said "purchased". You might also want to check that the date and time on the phone are correct.

You were absolutely correct. For some reason some of my purchased apps were showing on the wrong account under the all section. It went away after wiping and being careful which account I downloaded from. Thanks for the help guys.

Just use only one account in play store. don't do multiple.

[Q] Any workaround for Google play services battery bug?

Hey guys,
Is there any known effective workaround for the battery drain issue on 4.4 with google play services?
I have installed the newly released Google play services 5.0 but this is still an issue and causes the phone to get VERY hot during charging

Did you clear cache after installing new Google play services? If you didn't, clear cache and reboot your phone.

Cleared cache and so far seems to be working with v5.0! Thank you!
This is actually something I was trying to find a work around today.
Mind linking me the Play Services 5.0 you're using? I'd really like to try this.

Here you go
if that doesnt work I believe you will have to be rooted, use exposed and wakelock terminator.

Thanks for that. Gave it a go, got a result similar to the thread maker's. Was a dream come true, really.
Then it came back again. Didn't do anything different, just eventually came back into play on next reboot.
Uninstalled updates from Play Services entirely and rebooted, got the same effect. I don't think it's 5.0 fixing it, just the other play(s) causing it. Still running as 'uninstall updates' version (whatever it is-- lemme check... 4.0.33) and I've not had an issue with it coming back on. If it doesn't last then I have no clue how to fix this.
Sorry to be a pest and bump / double post.
But I havn't had it come back since I did an 'Uninstall Updates' from Settings > Apps > All
I don't know why this would be so darned weird... But for anyone who hasn't tried it... I guess, sadly try it - and the link that Androidtweaker gave.
When I installed the Play Store that Androidtweaker linked, I did nothing but play games for like 2 hours on my phone - No issues. Kept playing, 4 hours later popped back up. I play Puzzles & Dragon's and link it to my Google+, so I thought they might have triggered all the play services since it is Google Games.
However I uninstalled updates and now it's the 1st of July where I am (3 days later), with Uninstall Updates and playing P&D with G+, I don't have any Play Service Issues.
Sorry I couldn't be of help to anyone who comes to this thread via google searching. Perhaps installing the latest Play Store then deleting cache/dalvik helped cut out some issue hidden within somewhere?...
In settings/location, set to device only. Its google location reporting causing the issue. Setting it to device only utilises just GPS for location.
