For some reason my GN doesn't wan to download any apps from the market over mobile network, 4g or 3g. I can't even download small apps, 30-35kb size. Download starts then it says "downloading" for about 5 min and then message pops up " download failed" or "Error downloading. There is insufficient space on the device". I have 27 GB available and Wifi downloads work perfect.
Any pointers? Should I change some kind of settings?
Open the Menu -> Settings in the marketplace and see if "Update over Wi-Fi only" is turned on.
Try going to settings and apps and delete cache/data for market

I thought it was the ticket but it doesn't change with ""Update over Wi-Fi only" on or off

I can't find this option. If I go under settings in the market and it gives me only "clear search history"

cleared cache, restarted the phone (just in case) but still no go. I just think its strange that wifi has no issues and mobile does. As soon as I connect to wifi it's working properly
any other ideas? This is so freaking frustrating.
Are you able to browse the Internet fine over 3G/4G?
I would do a Factory Reset, if still no go contact VZW for an exchange.
I will try factory reset. Something just weird happened. My phone received and answered automatically a call from *22899. After a few sec it just ended by itself. WTF is going on

Its updating the PRL I believe. Chill.
trying ClockWorkMod (Hold Vol- and Power button at reboot then choose RECOVERY). See it it works
alright progress: now it doesn't say "not enough space", download just simply never goes through and shows "downloading" for 15 min now. Have anyone tried to microwave GN?
Flash stock images..
I have a stock Verizon CDMA GNex, and started running into this after downloading apps without incident for the first couple of weeks after getting the phone. What I noticed is that when I initiate the download of an app from a PC web browser -- it USED to work flawlessly -- and I thought it was pretty cool that I could be on a web browser on any PC, and if logged into my Google account I could initiate a download on my GNex as long as it was online, somewhere. Anyway - this worked fine at first.
Then, after downloading half a dozen or so apps, I started getting the "error downloading" / "insufficient space" error on the device any time I initiated the download from a PC. However - I could still do the download from the App Market if I initiated it from the GNex itself (not the PC). This has been consistent for the last week or so, until I finally got to the point where even starting the download from the GNex wouldn't work.
What fixed things for me (at least temporarily): clearing data and cache for both the App Market app and the Download Manager. No need to reboot, etc. Just clearing the data and cache from the Market and download manager seems to let things work again - from either the device itself or a remote PC running the web version of the Market.
Pretty weird though. When I google this, it appears this is a known issue going back something like 3 months. I'd think it could be pretty easy to address, and have the download manager and the Market clean up after themselves, and also check before attempting a new download and do the clean up then if needed. We shouldn't have to do this manually!

I had the same problem a couple of times. The easiest way to solve it is to run Lucky Patcher and you'll see a toast notification that unused data/odex has been removed. That should solve the problem.
You'll probably have to be rooted though. Not sure if Lucky Patcher works on non-rooted GNs.
Hit 'Thanks' if I helped. Cheers!

Thanks! For whatever reason, I haven't run into this in at least a couple of months...actually forgot about it...
I'm running 7.2RC1 and my gfs running Andy's stock and both of our play stores wont let us DL anything. Mine says error parsing package and hers says no connection actually while connected to wifi. I got the market working on mine but I forced closed, cleared data and uninstalled updates but it automatically "upgraded" after I launched the app. Is anyone else having play store probs?

Yeah I had some problems with my play store as well(it sucks after the updates). If it says no connection then you have to kill it with a task manager, and then open it again it fixes the problem. I have this problem both on my Acer Iconia A100 running ICS, and my Incredible 2 running Skyraider Zeus. For your other problem you have to clear data in Google framework services as well and then reboot.
I very occasionally get the "error parsing package" on select applications. The thing that is really bugging me about Play Store is no matter what Sense ROM I flash at some point the phone starts into an incessant loop of FC's from the "Market". For me its so bad I pretty much can't run a Sense ROM at all anymore. Personally I am using Condemned Soul's latest CM ROM on which I have zero Play Store issues. IMHO it sure seems when the the Market --> Play Store migartion took place, some things got seriously f'd up.
OK, this getting kind of ridiculous. There is only one ROM I can flash that I don't end up getting a bunch of Market FC's. And yes I have fixed permissions. What gives?
beats me broseph after a while my market (refuse to call it play store) started acting right again so I assume it was a problem on el googs part but if you're still having problems try wiping the app data

Clear data on market and google services framework
I've made a call to Google about it already.. I was having parsing errors and it was giving me a purchase cannot be processed error on everything including free apps they tried denying anything, told me to do a factory reset.. did all that, told them I'm rooted with different Roms and kernels and then all of the sudden one of the advanced tech guys sent me an email saying that it's been happening a lot since the play store change and they need a logcat.. it's intermittent for me and everytime it happens again, I'm nowhere near a pc for logcat

Did you try my suggestion?
Like factory resetting your entire phone is a reasonable fix for ONE APP gtfo try franks fix it worked for me still a little hit or miss. I had to uninstall all the updates to revert it back to like novembers market update but of course it upgraded on the next launch

Maybe you should read the suggestion again, because there was nothing about a factory reset. He was saying to go to
settings>>apps>>google play store>> clear data
and
settings>>apps>>google services framework>> clear data
For me on MIUI 2.3.23, the fix and su killall drmserver plus franks suggestion is not working.
Forgot to add in you have to restart after you clear data on both.
This has worked for me twice now and a ton of other people on XDA.
if you go into manage apps and remove updates to play store, it will work fine for that session, but when you close and go back it updates again, so remove updates again, i know its a pain in the butt but you can download stuff, just a suggestion, works for me

What is this Windows?
EDIT: In the end I got things to work. I opened terminal and type the su and killall commands seperately, i.e.
> su
> killall drmserver
What seemed to be happening for me was that the super user app was not granted super user permissions when I did this in one command.

This is what I was referring to about factory resetting
For that error you need to clear the data in play store and then remove your google account from accounts and sync. After that open play store. I actually told google about this solution two Weeks ago.

Hey try making sure your time and date is correct.
find out mine was on 2004!
Then it worked
Anyone else seeing Google Maps FC a lot lately? It seems to be related to finding my location (either in Latitude or Maps itself). Sometimes the map tiles won't get drawn, other times it just force closes.
Seeing this on mine (GSM) and my GF's VZW version.
Nop but have you tried clearing the app cache?
Galaxy Nexus Stock + Franco m3
YES! this happens with me too lately! dunno why!
SOLVED for me!
Had the same issue, and this worked for me:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1467313
I was experiencing the same thing and chalked it up to a bug so I uninstalled Maps updates and have been refusing to update until a new version comes out.
The fix permissions thing, I feel like that could be risky... I guess I could take a nandroid backup first and then try it.
I am having this problem and I just bought my GSM Nexus from Play Store... Whats wrong with Maps app? Keeps force closing...
STOCK. Not rooted.
Cleared cache and settings in Settings > Apps > Clear.
Still force closing.. What the ??

And the problem continues to this day. I almost wanted to start a new thread, until I stumbled upon this one.
Stock Jellybean JRO03C, rooted, slightly themed (to get rid of gradient background). Maps is at 6.9.2 as shipped with the image, and have not had an update since.
Maps keeps force closing every few hours even when I'm in other apps and have not started Maps myself. FC reports says it's an out of memory exception. This only started after I upgraded to JB; it was fine on all versions of ICS, even when rooted.
I had this issue upgrading from 4.2 to .4 uninstalling the map updates did the trick

Unfortunately I don't have an update I can uninstall.
I have for now restricted it from doing background data and see what happens. Next - block it off using Droidwall; still next - disable it outright...

I'm not sure if anyone else is having this problem, but my phone seems to store some apps' cache in "USB Storage Data." The result: some apps become ridiculously large in size. My Google Plus, Google Maps, 500px, and Between apps have gotten to over 1gb each! The worst part is that this area is not affected by clearing an app's cache, and I have yo delete the app's data to do anything. I would think that this phone would have some kind of automatic data clearing procedure or something? Why are really old Google plus posts, for example, being kept on my phone's memory long after I read them?? Also, this is causing my phone to become noticeably laggier over time. In fact, before my last reset a week ago, some apps had gotten so large, that the phone no longer loaded their sizes. If I go to the app info page, it just says "loading..." next to the various areas, and even after an hour of waiting, nothing appears. Thus, I am unable to clear cache/data! I've had this happen on 4.0.1, 4.0.2, and 4.0.4 and CM9...so every single OS I've had on the phone! Surely, others must be experiencing this problem? Or is everyone here changing roms every week? :S
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
P.S. I've looked up online, and the only topics I've found complain about Google+ USB Storage Data being too large, however, I'm noticing that many other apps are doing the same, as I mentioned. Is this an inherent flaw in ICS?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
No. Maybe Google +, but not ICS.
I don't have even one app doing that.
Google Maps does it too though! The only difference is that Maps has a button to reset this memory within the app. There's still no way of doing it through settings. I feel like if a developer makes an app work this way and does not include a setting to reset this memory from within the app, it'll continue to climb indefinitely. Speaking of Google+, is there a way to reset that app's excess memory usage that climbs indefinitely? Its ridiculous that Google hasn't resolved this issue when it has been reported so many times.

This is definitely an issue on the Gnex (specially the int'l that is 16GB only). I am looking into getting the int'l Gnex and I'm looking into all these things. Perhaps I can do w/o Google+, but not w/o google Maps.

Of course it does. It caches what it is downloading for faster fetching.

Thank you! Finally some acknowledgment that I'm not the only person with this issue. Indeed, I do have the 16gb GSM version Are there any workarounds aside from flashing a new ROM every few weeks and losing all my data?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
I would complain to the app developers you have issue with. Otherwise, clear data on the apps you have issue with. I am using the same data on my phone from over a month ago, and do not have this issue. It is likely I don't use the same apps as you, however.
These are temp files these apps work with. There is no real workaround other than what I posted above.
Thanks for your suggestion. There are, however problems with it. Namely, that it erases all app data, such as anything I've saved, etc. Also, the fact that once the USB Storage Data exceeds a certain number, the app info hangs up on "loading..." and the buttons to clear cache, and clear data are disabled. Even clicking uninstall hangs on "uninstalling..." This seems like a big flaw to me that I wish Google would address...

Same problem, a solution without having to do a factory reset?
Anyone come up with anything here?
Is anyone using Wunderground (weather app) and having a similar issue? I just tried the app on my Nexus 5 without issues. And Today Weather works fine on the S9. I already uninstalled, cleared the cache, and installed again, with the error appearing again.
Thanks for any help given!
Same Issue here, and no tech support at all.
The only work around I have found is only good for 1 day. Go into App Manager, clear the cache and data, uninstall the app, reboot the phone, and install the app. It will find your current location initially, but never again.
I have sent emails to no avail. I guess things went to crap when they sold out to The Weather Channel.
I checked it today and it updated, but to a country with funny letters, rending it absolutely useless.

Thanks for your feedback! I was able to finally fix it by clearing the app's data. So far it has worked as its supposed to, but I never got any tech support whatsoever.
Same problem although at times it has worked for a few days. NO PROBLEM AT ALL on ipad or PC.
oct 27 2018 WU keeps saying can't update location. All location settings on Galaxy Tab2 and in WU are on. No problem with other programs. As many others have the same problem and got no customer support, I guess The Weather Channel bought this just to throw it under the bus. Disappointing .
