So i had posted before that I was having issues with my Google services. I was unable to get into Play Store, Gmail, Hangouts, anything that goes through a Google server. I tried wiping everything, force stopping, clearing cache, all the basic fixes. It worked again after I would flash a new ROM for a while. Nobody could figure it out. Samsung was stumped, AT&T was stumped, and a few guys on here were stumped. AT&T sent me a new phone and things were working great. Rooted, ROMd, everything. Went about using my phone as normal. Then, a couple days ago, the same thing started to happen.
A thought popped into my head today. On all ROMs I tried to use I always installed Freedom for free in-app purchases. I also installed it on this phone, but only on the custom ROM. I have been using the stock ROM perfectly. I went into Freedom and stopped it properly by pulling up the settings menu and hitting Stop. Then I uninstalled it. Straight away I went to Play Store and I had access again. Same for Gmail.
So my assumption is that Freedom caused the issue. It took a while because I havn't used Freedom in a month or so and the issue just started happening. However, once I removed it properly everything worked fine. When I wiped my old phone I never removed Freedom so i'm not sure if that messed something up that a basic factory reset couldn't fix. The other reason this is an assumption is because I was not able to test this on my old phone. But I figured I would let you guys know. If you have issues with Google services and have Freedom installed, try uninstalling it. But first, MAKE SURE YOU STOP IT FROM THE IN APP SETTINGS!

Since updating to the latest CM, .9999, my BofA mobil banking install wont store any credentials. I've uninstalled, cleared cache, reinstalled etc... but no matter what I try, each time I open the app I'm asked for my account number and to verify an unrecognized device.
Anyone else experiencing these problems?
same here. for me its been like that for awhile, sometimes it'll save and sometimes not
I wiped for the first time in months when going to CM .9999, that's when the trouble started for me. There must be some artifacts hanging around mucking up the works. Reading through the marketplace comments, it seems to be a relatively common problem.
Mine has never stored it.. even when unrooted

Mine either. It also seem to be slower than just going to the website while providing the exact same functionality, so I don't bother with it anymore.
I have a weird problem with my AT&T galaxy tab. For the past couple of days, each time I launch the Market, my 3G connection is killed and I can no longer access the network, and of course I cannot access the market. As soon as I kill the market app, my 3G connection comes back.
I cleared the data and cache of the market app, did not solve the issue. When I uninstall the updates of the market app (reverting to the original ugly market app), everything works fine, but it then automatically updates itself and the problem comes back. I assume this is a problem with the market app itself and not my device (hopefully).
Has anybody else experienced this issue and found a fix?
I am running stock ROM with third party apps installed enables (done it with superoneclick: root, enable third party apps, unroot).
I have the amazon app store installed, so I can still buy new apps, but I would like to be able to get updates for the apps I have purchased from the market.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
What modem are you using? Does the problem happen when you are using wifi? I think the JMF modem that is available for overcome rom is weak and I get many dropped connections and slow data speeds.
I am using the stock ROM and stock modem, I have never flashed a ROM. It only happens with the Market App.
Same issue for me. I have a rooted stock rom.
I have the same issue. Also stock rom and rooted. When WIFI is on (and connected) the market works fine.
I have been beating my head against this since I bought one. I am rooted using....I think I used Super One Click......stock everything else with non-market apps enabled. I originally thought that Root had broken it; however, if I unrooted, reset to factory, I still had the issue.
After many hours at the ATT store and on the phone (and swapping the device once and SIM card twice) I had an epiphany. a Factory Reset does NOT wipe the Internal SD like I thought it did. It leaves /mnt/sdcard/ intact. So, just for kicks, I began looking at my folders here. I MAY have discovered something. Market started working after I restored this folder to it's factory content (deleted any folders having to do with Apps in general).
I can typically hold power, deactivate Data connection, wait a few seconds, re-enable, and I get 3g back (at least for browser and other apps, Market still fails).
I have PSX4Droid installed (PSX Emulator if you don't know). There is a folder here named /.psx4droid, so I renamed it to /psx4droid (If I remember correctly, doesn't the "." hide the folder......too long since Linux class). I then deactivated/reactivated my data, and the Market started working properly.
I am not sure if it has to do SPECIFICALLY with psx4droid or just the "Hidden" folder in general, but now my Market works. I have 2 more folders in this location (/.downloadTemp and /.FileExpert) that may/may not cause any problems. I will post my findings.
.....Okay, so I'm going to type what I write now....Market just failed. Now I'm renaming /.FileExpert....Let's see what happens......
Damn. Still fails. But I'm tellin' ya. There is something in this folder causing it.
Or maybe some app is causing it to break......I have Amazon App store installed, what about you guys?
I do have Amazon App installed.
Anybody with an AT&T Tab not having the issue?
Same issue here. I had the Amazon Appstore installed but uninstalled it probably a week afterwards. Rooted running stock, everytime I go into the market it crashes the 3g. I found a folder in sdcard/android/data that had a bunch of appstore files in it. I deleted that and still having the same issue. I have removed all 3rd party apps so I have no idea what is triggering this. Please help.
P.S. I can access the market on WiFi
This also happens to be sometimes, if you tap wifi on then off again your 3g should come back and work fine.
swyped from a galaxy far far away...
Unfortunately what you proposed did not work. The market is killing the network connection each and every time. The network connection only comes back when the market app is not active anymore.
Since everything works fine when the market upgrades are uninstalled, I really think it is a bug in the newer version of market. Hopefully, the next update will fix this.
Maybe when Gingerbread is out!
I'm thinking this has more to do with us having installed amazon appstore before it was supposed to be. Somebody is mad at us
Has anyone made any progress on this situation?
Sent from my SGH-I987 using XDA App
I really wish I would have made more progress. After all the trouble I had with the device with this issue, I was seriously monitoring the apps I installed and then testing the Market. I gave up after a while since I am on Wifi 90% of the time and hardly ever do I access the Market while driving. I still have a feeling that something in /mnt/sdcard is causing it. Like I had mentioned, I could wipe back to factory and the problem was still there. I seem to remember that it only started working proper after I had cleared this location of crap. I would think that a Market update would see a larger group of affected tabs than just a handful of us. This doesn't seem to be a widespread issue.
That being said......I have decided to move on to Gingerbread. Maybe that'll fix it
Hey guys, try this. Worked for me and my Data problems with Gingerbread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13751694&postcount=6
Basically create a new APN inside Settings -> Wireless and Networks -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names. Only set the APN to "Broadband," save it (Menu button) and select the radio button for it. Instantly fixed my data issues.
Thank for the tip. Unfortunately, it did not work for me. I am running stock 2.2 and waiting for the official 2.3 update from AT&T.
Good Luck. I thought about waiting for the official.....but I also have a Captivate. We didn't get 2.2 until MONTHS after the rest of the world (I think it was like 5 or 6 months later). I didn't want to wait that long again.

Could you please report if the problem fixed with Gingerbread ?
At first I didn't have ANY cellular data until I created a new APN mentioned in the tagged thread (APN Broadband). Now I have no issues with Market. I wish I could trust AT&T to release Gingerbread in a timely fashion, but I know better. So instead, I flashed Overcome.
P.S. I really can't enough of the CRT lock animation......damn I'm such a geek....

So today I decided to factory reset my HTC One, and install back some applications I had previously.
However, after the factory reset I am unable to either install or update any application, with the Google Play Store returning: ""{app}" could not be downloaded due to an error. (403)".
I've been looking around a bit and have seen quite some others with this issue, however no solutions have worked for me. What I've tried:
Logged into Hangouts and confirmed mobile number.
Removed Google account in settings --> Go to Apps>All> and force stop Google Play Store, Google Service Framework and Download Manager, then clear cache and data for each --> Added back Google account --> Restarted device (without launching Google Play Store).
Using a new gmail account.
Clearing Proxy: I've looked in my Wi-Fi and APN Settings, both of which have no proxy set to begin wit.
Using 3G instead of Wi-Fi.
Another factory reset (repeated other steps afterwards).
Installing apps onto my device from my PC (it won't attempt to install them on the phone).
Please note my phone is not rooted and I'm not planning on rooting my phone any time soon.
Thanks in advance,
Errors4l.

Interesting, this is happening to me also after a factory reset of my HTC One. Tried all of the above, my phone too is not rooted however the bootloader is unlocked.

Yeah I've encountered quite some threads of people having this problem with the HTC One, however their solutions have not worked for me. Hoping someone can bring an answer to this thread
Yea it just seems unusual that it has happened to us pretty much at the same time under the same circumstances, maybe there is some issue with the store rather than our devices, I hope so!
Having exactly the same problem, tried everything. Even got a new handset because of the original issue which caused me to perform the factory reset. Maybe a problem with Google Play?
Hey guys!
I did a factory reset on my LG Swift L9 today
and also can't download any app from Google Play
due to 403. It may not be related to HTC One only.

I've got a new Nexus 5 delivered to me hours ago, first time using it and i can confirm the same sadly, hopefully it will be resolved soon !
What would be the quickest way to alert a mod so that the thread can be moved to a non device specific forum?
Hi all,
Picked up a Nexus 7 today - it was initially loaded with an old build of Android (Blue connectivity bars not white etc) and everything seemed to be working fine. Notification popped up for me to install the latest version, so I stopped what I was doing, got it installed and I'm now stuck with the same 403 errors as everyone else.
Looks to me like a Play Store issue but damn infuriating seeing as I can't even put any basic apps on my shiny new Nexus.
Noticed on another forum earlier that someone was having the same issue, and a guy responded saying he'd returned his Galaxy Tab to the store it came from today (Curry's, I think?) and after the staff there contacted Samsung - they were told that it was an issue with the Play Store. No obvious citations of course, but seems pretty legit what with everything else going on.
And now we wait...

I changed the title and inserted a request in the first post, hope it'll get noticed faster this way by a moderator
(Not so) sorry for double post.
I just tried again, without making any changes to my phone, and I just downloaded 3 different apps (2 I had previously, 1 new one).
Need a confirmation if the problem is solved for other people (with different devices) before I request a close.
Yeah, it works for me too now!

Nope, still 403'ing over here. But I'll keep checking in case it's gradually being fixed.
Still getting errors here too.
403 =/
I'm glad it's not just me.
I tried resetting/clearing everything thinking it was my phone cos I just recently rooted and flashed this brand spanking new HTC One (it was a replacement for my broken HTC One that had a working store :crying, until I went ahead and Googled this annoying error.
Seems like it's a problem on the Google end! =/
Get same error, tried RUU reset and ViperOne ROM.
Still 403 error! Very annoying
Spent 2 hours or so messing installing cyanogen on my new nexus and thought I'd ****ed up. Then googled it. I can believe it, talk about bad timing. lol
Looks like we are not alone...

So, i've had my att s5 for a few months now. It worked fine, no problems at all. But when I got Kitkat 4.4.4, every Google related refused to work. Play Store, Youtube, Chrome, you name it. I tried a whole list of things to try to fix it, including resetting time and date, uninstalling updates, clearing cache, the whole 9 yards. Now i've reset my phone to factory settings, which took a lot to do for me. So I select wifi, agree to the terms and conditions, then TRY to login to my Google account. But now it always tells me that it can't maintain a stable connection. All of my other devices work fine with my wifi, and I even went to a friend's house to try. No luck. At this point my phone is bricked, and need some help. If you have any idea whats going on, or how to fix it, please let me know. Thanks!
I'm on OneUI 4.1, Android 12, Kernel version 5.10.43 on a non cellular Tab S8. I noticed recently that my root cloaking modules weren't doing a great job, as I couldn't seem to get into a Dynasty Warriors app I'd downloaded, it simply wouldn't download the content in game. So I went and updated literally everything in my Fox app. I noticed immediately that Google Play Services was crashing repeatedly. So I uninstalled the module. This lead to my tablet saying Magisk is not installed. So I re-downloaded and re-installed Magisk. I turned Foundation back on, that didn't fix anything. It may even have just broken it more for all I know. I did notice that when it was off though, that my internet would not connect to my wifi automatically anymore.
So I downloaded a bunch of different versions of Google Play Services and Play Store to try to get one that matched. Of course, I had to use Lucky Patcher to uninstall the current broken versions. Eventually, it settled in on:
com.google.android.gms_23.17.15_(190400-534251769)-231715044_minAPI31(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk
This seemingly fixed my issue. But I had some other problems. The useless intent filter was still crashing. My OS seemed less stable as it restarted at least once for seemingly no reason, notifications for apps sorta just didn't show up sometimes even when I changed app settings to stop it from trying to save battery life, and the moment I minimized an app, it would need to reload once I put it back up. Didn't matter which app.
So I decided that I would attempt to get rid of Foundation again. I mean, I already had working versions of the apps. So I probably don't need it right? I figured since it installed weird versions of the old ones in the first place, it might be causing my issues.
This was a bad idea, because I had to try to reinstall Magisk again, which failed, but it didn't matter because Fox started saying I'm rooted again anyway after a reboot. So I turned it back on, and proceeded to reinstall the same Google Services APK. Except now it wasn't working.
I then spelunked the internet to try and find a solution, someone mentioned uninstalling Services, Play Store, AND Framework, then reinstalling. So I've now tried several versions, particularly of Framework 12 and around the time period I bought my tablet, but Gmail still gives me the error "Gmail needs Google Services to run, your device does not support Google Services." I tried a couple versions of 11 too and I even tried using Lucky Patcher to install specifically as system, but it seems like it doesn't matter much whether I install them via package installer or Lucky Patcher. I've also attempted to manually enable permissions for both Services and Framework to no avail.
My main goal is fixing this without losing my data, which I assume is exactly what would happen if I flashed a new rom. So I'm hoping somebody has an idea of what could be done here. In the meantime, I will continue trouble shooting.
(Additionally, I can't seek to get any version of Fox above 1.0.3 or so to work without it saying something crashed and asking me to report it to the dev.)
Update:
Google Play Services stopped repeatedly crashing when I installed:
com.google.android.gms_23.22.15_(190400-538334167)-232215044_minAPI31(arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk)
However, it still says my device is unsupported.
