[Q] Market downloads unsuccessful - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to flash a new ROM last night, went fine and Google started restoring apps automatically. I then restored my Titanium and everything was fine but I then could not download anything from the market.
I tried another fresh install wiping everything and weirdly Google restored my apps again but after it had finished I couldn't download anything else from the Market.
So I figured it was an issue with the ROM so I restored my Nandroid. But guess what, I now still cannot download anything from the market.
I have tried everything suggested like wiping Market cache, data, Uninstall updates etc but nothing works. I can push apps to my phone from market.android.com but cannot download from my phone. It is so frustrating.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Edit: I have now tried factory reseting and logging in with a different Google account and this works fine. Could this be an issue with my account?

Right it just randomly started working again last night. Oddly this was after I had raised the issue with Google. Not sure whether they did something with my account to fix it or it was just a coincidence and it just started working again anyway. Either way I am happy it is working again.

[Q] Incredible reinstall CM7.2, gapps issue, and Force Close problems

I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.
So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.
If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.
Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.
I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.
I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.

[Q] Installed CyanogenMod updates no connection to Play Store

I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.
Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?
My phone is an AT&T SGS3.
Thanks,
retnuh
Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.
Thank you for both of your replies.
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.
Different things seemed to work for different people.
Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.
Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.

[Q] Can't sign into Google Account?

This just happened. I can't connect to my google account on my phone. It started with it not connecting to the play store randomly. Checked internet and it was working perfectly so I tried again no luck. Cleared gapps cache and data. No luck. Checked date and time, no luck.
Then I factory reset and tried again, it didn't even let me log in to my google account. Wiped data/cache, checked time, no dice.
Nothing changed in my phone at all, it just stopped working. No flashing, nothing. This is unnerving. I even tried logging into a different gmail account. I just odined to stock last week to start fresh and everything was working perfectly I do not want to do that again. Anyone help?
You can Odin to stock, just don't factory reset, or if you have custom recovery, try flashing gapps

Pandora stopped working, stuck at splash

Hello all. Hoping someone can help me figure out why Pandora has stopped working on my N7 2013. It is fairly new, got it for Xmas. It is unlocked and rooted, but running the stock 4.3 rom (no interest in 4.4+ at this time).
Pandora was working fine at first, but when I opened it yesterday, it gave me an error, saying something like "your pandora session has timed out", and kicked me out of the app. Opened it back up, and it was stuck at the splash. Left it for several minutes, and nothing. So I force closed it, cleared it's data and cache, and reopened it, same problem. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it, same problem.
Went into recovery, cleared dalvik and cache, booted back up, reinstalled Pandora, same problem. So finally, I made a titanium backup of all my apps (no system settings), did a factory reset, restored my backed up apps, everything EXCEPT Pandora, downloaded that fresh from the play store, opened it, same problem... wtf???
Ok, fine, it wants to play hard ball... so I did another factory reset, then wiped data, cache and dalvik seperately. Booted, set up my google account, and didn't install ANYTHING, EXCEPT for Pandora.
SAME PROBLEM!!
What is going on here??? For what it's worth, Pandora still works fine on my phone (Rooted 4.3 GS4). So it's not a server outage or anything like that. This has been going on since last night.
My last ditch effort would be to restore the factory image, then unlock and reroot again but damn... what could possible be stuck so bad as to survive all that? I have not modified /system/ at all except for installing busybox and supersu.
... well... what the heck. So I flashed the factory image, and now, finally, Pandora is working again.
I can't think what the heck would have happened in /system/ or anywhere else other than /data/ that would stick through a factory reset and keep Pandora from working....
Any ideas? I really, REALLY want to avoid this happening again.
Upgrade
I have installed Pandora v5.5
I don't think it is available in the Play Store yet. It could be an issue with ART and Lollipop. Flashing a stock older image could be what works with that version.
I only see Pandora 5.4 in the Play Store.
5.5 brings a new Interface and some really cool features. You have to find it online and side load it. Probably what your problem is/was.

googleplay services keeps crashing

hello
I'm having trouble setting up my tab s.
After a factory reset, everytime I try to log in to my google account, google play services crashes and I can't setup my tablet.
Any ideas? I tried downloading the latest playstore apk, but no dice..
Thanks
Keep us posted cause I had the exact same problem. I factory reset and the Google stuff won't even pop up. I try to log into the play store and Google services crashes. I even flashed a fresh install with odin and the same thing happens. I did get it to work after updating with a ota. As soon as I did all the Google stuff was fine. I also have a back up so I rooted and and restored from the backup with flashier. I've searched and tried so many things and nothing else seemed to work.
