[Q] Play Store not working (Tried each and every solution) - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a galaxy s3 mini. I have faced an issue which is not common. My Play Store gives me "No connection - Retry" error. I searched every forum, every possible solution on the internet, I tried them all but no luck.
I have even rooted it, installed CWM, changed the ROM, but still no luck.
I edited the hosts file as mentioned on different forums, but the thing is my hosts file "only shows this by default '127.0.0.1 localhost'", there is no second line of ip address or anything. I tried adding it manually and added the "#" sign but no luck.
If any one out there could help me, I'd be really grateful.

No I don't have freedom installed. I have installed the stock ROM again. But the phone is still rooted. So if there is a solution, I would be glad to hear it. My phone is useless without Play Store. I cannot update any application or anything.

Install Lucky Patcher. Go to --> Toolbox --> Install the Modded Google Play Store. Choose your version of original play store.

cant open apps

First of all, I tried to search, and google for this problem, but couldn't find the solution, so here it is..... I rooted my phone. Installed Froyo 2.2 OS. Today I tried to download the beta mozilla firefox from their site mozilla [dot]com/en-US/m/beta, and after I downloaded, i tried to install, and got the following error message. for security your phone is set to block installation of applications not obtained from android market. When I googled this error, I came across that the Service Provider is blocking it. I rooted initially, so shouldn't I be free? Or do I have to root the phone again after installing Froyo 2.2? I'd appreciate all the help. Thank you!
i think i might've found the solution, that the phone needs to be rooted again. the link where i found is forum.xda-developers[dot]/showthread.php?t=797397[/url] it says "Browse to contents from cmd/terminal". How do i get there? Is it pressing vol buttons, and pressing the power button at the same time?
You need to allow access for third party apps to be installed.

[Q] Kindle - Registration failed - Please confirm your e-mail address and password

Hi All
I am running stock Froyo JPY and SpeedMod kernel. I have tried everything I can think of besides a factory reset (which is not worth it for Kindle), including clearing the cache, Dalvik Cache, registering over wifi rather than 3G, but when I click on the register button I get the error "Registration Failed - Please confirm your e-mail address and password and try again".
The device appears in my Amazon account, but I still can't log in to the Kindle application on the phone.
I have tried three different versions of Kindle, but the problem persists.
I have spent over an hour on the phone to Amazon support in the states, but they could not solve the problem.
Any help would be appreciated.
Craig
Just a thought .
is your account with Amazon.co.uk
jje
I'm getting the same problem. On a Galaxy S running Froyo. I am using a co.uk account also.
Any solutions?
I have exactly the same problem.
I have two accounts with amazon.com and amazon.ca. It's the same e-mail address and password.
The app used to work, but for some reason, it doesn't anymore.
Between the last time I used the app and today, I flashed darky's rom and updated speedmod. By doing that, I just restored all my apps via TB, including Kindle.
For troubleshooting the problem, I did the same things as the OP.
I'm on darky's 9.3, with speedmod K13E if that help.
Thanks

I think my original account was in the uk, however I setup a new account in the states with a different email address and have the same problem.

Came here hoping to find a fix for this very same problem.
Emailed Amazon support last night and they replied by morning. (that's the good news)
They told me to uninstall...yada yada yada....did nothing.
I got them to call me and they suggested I download the app from the Amazon site (I pointed out that the link on the site sent us to the market)....tried it and failed.
Got them to ring me back and got the same answer, explained again what the problem was, what I'd done and the link on the site was useless....put on hold for 5 mins and they finally came back and said that the current version of Kindle for Droid "didn't work with the latest release of Droid"....hopefully a new version would be out soon.
Not sure if this is relevant to you guys too, but a few other apps I use don't remember who I am...eg Rail Planner Live treats me a new user every time I open it and forgets my settings....so could this be pointing the problem elsewhere? Is there a package or something that holds the reg info for apps?
Quick update on this kindle problem
There's a post on the Kindle forum on Amazon ( I cant post the URL here) but if you search the Kindle Forum for a post called "Kindle Android App " posted by a Mrs Fielding in Feb you will see the convo
I've downloaded Root Explorer and can confirm that even after uninstalling Kindle, it does in fact leave files on your handset. Problem is to delete those files with Root Explorer, I need to "Root my 'Droid" and for the life of me I cant get the damn thing into Recovery Mode

Unfortunately, app has stopped in every rom ever flashed so far

Unfortunately, app has stopped in Marshmallow
Good morning in South Africa time to everybody !
I decided to post my situation in here since I can see that all of you are quite helpful and would be able to help me with my Lenovo K3 Note T3s, purchased recently
The strange thing is that I have older apps which I use but every, I mean every, ROM,for the T5, which I have installed to my Lenovo K3,and almost every app that I have installed, and when I run these apps,it returns an error stating...UNFORTUNATELY, xxx HAS STOPPED. Most of the apps do start, and when the error is displayed, i can still see the app in the background underneath the error text that is displayed, which seems that the app does start, but something is preventing it with displaying the error above, and shutting it down when I press on the OK text in the error
I have tried around five roms already, various ones, most from Needrom.com, made for the T5, and they all return the same error when running the newly installed app, its as if this phone has a built in security function that doesnt allow any apps to be installed and used! The original ROM was ok but too much of bloatware and chinese writing which required me to find a better rom
Currently as I type this, I am downloading a rom for the T3S from needrom.com, hoping that I dont receive this error anymore
I have installed an updated app on one of the roms and it worked and did not display the error, however, I use some apps that do not have a later updated version available which causes the error to be displayed.
Are there any ideas on what could be causing this ? I have tried a few things from what I have read via a google search but none has worked
Any ideas or help would be much appreciated!
PS: I will keep you guys informed of what happens from this time of writing as well, just in case I find the cause/solution and somebody out there is also going through the same problem.
Heres the latest update so far...
Installed Lenovo K3_Note_MTK6752_Android_5.0_20150513 ROM from http://www.teamandroiders.com/lenovo-k3-note-stock-rom-firmware/
Its Android version 5.0, and still the same problem, almost every app still gives me the same error.
Going to try a rom built for Lenovo K3 Note T3s and reply afterwards.

Thank you for your reply.
I came across a website that had a guide to try, two options were available, the first option I have tried and it worked, havent tried the second option though. The first option was the Android System Webview app, where, by opening it under apps in settings, and choosing to uninstall the update, it should help fix my error, and it did. There were one or two apps that still gave me the same error but most of the apps began to work after doing this.

Need to permanently change mac address

A few months ago I lost my k3 note but found it again recently. In between I bought another exactly the same (from the same source in Hong Kong) so now I have two. I'd like to give the spare phone to my wife but both phones have exactly the same mac address so can't connect to our home router at the same time.
I've tried a few apps which claim to change/spoof the mac address but they don't seem to work and anyway a temporary change is not ideal. Both phones are rooted and have twrp recovery and the same custom rom.
Help and suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks for that help. I had a look at the process and it looks straightforward. The tutorial says "you need to have the database file of the same device on which you are going to flash the IMEI". It does not include any links to the sources of that database. So I am searching for the database but so far nothing I've downloaded has led to success.
Also have tried a different application, 'IMEI&SN Writer' but that too needs database to work.

Thanks that helped a lot. Ive tried several times but this is as far as I get
"Start searching kernel com port and handshake"
Phone switches on and boots as normal
"Enter AP Meta Mode: Meta Result = Default - Fail"
I should have said that the phone is rooted and a custom rom (K3_NOTE_MM_6.0_1611_3.54.1_v17_ROW_D-CUOCO92) is installed. Would that be the cause of failure?

any rom no problem. check your drivers, and cable. try again with another comport and another cable, run sn writer as admin.

Restored a backup of my wife's K3 note into my own. Pretty bad Idea. Now I have same MACs, same IMEIs, even flashing other ROMs.
Followed your instructions from your post but always got stuck at :
EnterAPMetaMode() : MetaResult = SPMETA_DLL::META_MAUI_DB_INCONSISTENT.
ROM is vibe-ui-3-5-1631-multi-language , first google result.
My \mddb folder looks like this:

P40 PRO+ should work. but GSF is really random. Unfortunately, if it does not show up in step 20 after you attempt triggering it from Google Play Store, then you will need to start over again.

Hi,
It was working fine until Google Play Store was updated. Now, I have to redo the process again.
Hopefully, it will work again but for how long?
Is there anything to do not to let the Google Play store update?
Thanks.
I tried 10 times with 3 times getting 1 number and letter but each time I get this device is not play certified. I am able to access the play store. Has Google changed something or is my phone the problem as it was bought in China?

before you are trying to fix this issue, make sure you have uninstalled all the Google related apps: Google home, google maps, google classroom, Gmail, Chrome, youtube, youtube music, youtube kids, Family Link ... Nest, Linkedin (even this is from MS, but it will trigger the Play protect error) ... and there are much more that I cannot list them all. If any of residual apps exist, that will 100% lead to failure. I know it is hard to uninstall all of them, i made this mistake all the time, and then later on found out that some hidden app stayed in the phone, which i would need to do it again and again. Therefore, factory reset is always the best to ensure a clean system, but i also understand it is hard for people to reinstall everything and re-login all the accounts.
Another possible reason is: the google play service version, there was an update last month, and so far i found Play Services 21.18.15 is the last good and stable version. you can use that instead of 05... file from the preparation files.
06.GplayServices_21.18.15.apk

hi thanks for the help. Will try this, but i was doing a factory reset before.
