Can't update or download large apps - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So i have a sony Z3 D6633 version 5.1.1. While im downloading or updating large apps it always show different kinds of error. Like error 495, 403, 905 im really pissed because i can't download good graphics game like Injustice and can't update Mortal Kombat X that has new characters. I already tried to do the common fix like clear cache and data uninstall updates of google playstore, restarted my phone, delete and add google account. Any other solutions on how to avoid this utterly useless errors. -_-

[APP] Kongregate-Over 300 free flash games!

im not sure if this is a repost but check out this app...it has over 300 free flash games you can download. For some reason google banned this app from the marketplace so you have to go download it from their website, google kongregate android.
Well, I've also been playing those games directly from my phone's browser (Miren) and it works!
Works great
Id find out why it was banned before installing it. Just my 2c
It's back on the market now.
Not on market
I run KAOS Froyo 2.2.1 and when I search the market, it is not there.
anyone have the original apk that allows to install flash games to sd card? or that one doesn't work anymore because they updated the app?
Just wait 5minutes, I'll post the original here.
edit:
Okay you can download the original (January 18/v1.0.8) apk from this site:
http://www.getjar.com/mobile/53364/kongregate-arcade-for-samsung-gt-i9000-galaxy-s/?s=phones
It is completely free, and this is the version that got banned from the Android Market.
Google say it is like an AppStore within the Android Market and I agree, but it is an awesomely free one with great titles!
And I still stand behind my reasoning that this "App" or "AppStore" wasn't threatening/damaging the Market in any way ... infact it was doing the exact opposite by bringing more titles to the Android platform (and enticing iOS/WP7 customers).
Why this older version is better than the new one (on the Android Market) is because it has the "offline mode". It automatically downloaded the flash games to your internal/SD card ... thus you don't need to constantly waste your time, money and internet allowance on re-downloading it again and again.
The new one sucks because it has no "offline mode" instead it tries to save the games to your browsers cache. I've noticed from experience once you have about a dozen or more games cached, the performance of the Android browser becomes slower. In fact, it pretty much overloaded mine, and the froyo system "fixed" the problem by clearing it automatically; making me lose my previous data and the games. I also think by exhausting the cache, this might cause faster battery drain from your device.
Here's a quick note, try to run as few Apps as possible when trying to play these flash games. This thing will cripple older/slower devices, and will give newer ones a lot of stress. If you do not close all the Apps, that's fine it might run a little slower, but make sure you definitely close down any internet browsers or Apps that use/stress the Flash 10.1 resources. Also, you can control which directory the games will be downloaded to (either to internal or to SDcard), so choose depending on your personal space needs. (I'm using a Galaxy S I9000 with stock froyo)
If you download from another source and want to test if its the original (superior) version, you can do so by:
Downloading/Opening/Playing any game (eg Ink Ball). Then exited the app and disable any internet connections (switch on Flight mode). Re-open the App. Try playing the same game (eg Ink Ball) ... if it enters/resumes (congrats you have the original version) otherwise it will come with a note about getting an internet connection.
Go GameStop for making this available again!

When I first installed it (after it was removed from Market), there was around ~320 games available.
I've checked today, and there is 338 games available.
So yes, and I hope they will keep it that way

[Q] Can't log into Talk or download from Market

I can't download from Market. I tried to go to the web Market to download from there, and looked up Troubleshooting. It recommended signing into Talk and then trying to download. Well, I can't log into Talk. Anyone have a way I can fix this? I do have adb access. I am running Honeycomb through an sd card. Any suggestions beyond having to try the process all over again? If not, I know there are several threads on getting gmail/market/talk/maps/yahoo/etc. on the card once the OS is loaded. Which is the best one to use and follow, and what should I do once everything is on there (like what to sign on first (yahoo, or gmail, or talk, etc.)? Total newb to rooting, so I would appreciate any guidance. Getting market working is the last thing I need to get working basically. Thanks!
Force stop market and google services framework, clear caches and data for both, reboot. This worked for me.

What if you can't clear the data on Market? There's 124 kb worth of data in there, and it won't allow me to clear it. I can force stop the market and force stop/clear data on framework, but just doing those and then rebooting still won't allow me on talk or to download on market. What it did give me though was it allowed me to "see" more apps in Market that didn't show before, like Pandora. Still can't download it, but I can see it.

Google Play Services Error

I am getting a lot of the GPS errors. I updated am still getting it. I can not open Gmail App because of this.
And I just updated Oxygen.
Try going into apps making sure show system apps is enabled and clear these two system cache's (clear all data) on Google services. Then for good measure go to storage clear cache and reboot. After that you will need to sign back in but all apps and there data is still there. Hope that helps has done for me in the past especially after a play services update.
Never attached screenshots
Just tried the clearing and all is good. Now I need root and to Pixelize it and i will be happy.
Any other tips? made no difference to mine.... getting hacked off with the Oneplus 3T and I've only had it 4hrs! no google apps will work... music... gmail... hangouts... all say the same " google play service error" please contact the developer
I did a clean install and started over again... seems good now.
Coming from a x5 Pro this thing is dam fast!

Question Slow downloads in Playstore (speeds up after deleting data of playstore)

Hey Everyone,
my problem is - very often the downloads from Google Play are very slow. (About 300kbit/s)
When I stop the download and go to Apps --> Google Play and then delete the Data, then open the playstore again and download the same file, it will be much faster. (at least one magnitude, about 3-8mb/s)
Any ideas?
My Wifi is the same as before and my internet-provider does provide 100mbit/s, which is being realistic about 50-90mbit/s in real life.
Regards,
Maeffjus
it seems that latest ROM updates (I think I have this on all AUB* ones) is weirdly strict on background activities and cuts every one of them. my whole device acts strangely - apps not showing notification or showing them late (hours later than they were supposed to show), my apps are not updating: I have to repeatedly FC play store, then clear its cache so that currently installing app changes state from downloading to installing, than do it again to change state fomr installing to installed etc. worked fine on AUA* ones. it is really annoying. btw I tried to clear cache and dalvik/art cache from recovery, but that did not help. I have not tried factory seset yet...
I cannot download apps or update apps. Turns out its Virgin Media (UK) blocking traffic. They're sending me a brand new shiny SuperHub 4.
It seems that it was data corruption during regular OTA. Factory reset seems to fix problems for me.

Question Apps won't update

I have a recurring problem that apps stop updating. Deleting the Play Store memory and cache sorts it, but only for one or two apps then it stops again. Apps either just sit saying pending or download to XX% and then stop.
report it to Google
Clear system cache.
Clear data in related apps.
Delete, recreate Google Account.

I had this issue after the first beta. I had to go to apk mirror and install the latest update for the app that wouldn't update. Once I did that the next updates that showed in play store, updated correctly.
Edit* I believe this happened because I restored my Samsung backup including apps but I could be wrong. Either way that fixed it.
Unless you're having issues with the app I wouldn't worry about it. Updates can and do break apps. I use the factory load version still after 2 years on some of mine.
Some saved app versions go back 6 years and work fine!
Google's update crap is just that many times. Trying to scare you into constantly updating.
If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it bro...
You can also use ApkExport on another Android to make an installable copy then download it to the other device.
