Verizon Nexus issues

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

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!

[Q] Download or Update from Play Store with LTE

Anyone having the same trouble i do trying to downloading or updating apps from the Play Store on 4G LTE it just sits there like it's downloading but nothing happens until i switch it to WiFi and it works immediately. Yes in Play Store settings to download only on WiFi is unchecked. running stock JB rooted. Thanks in advance.
You sure its not a data network issue? That's what it sounds like.
Data works fine no problems at all.Just with Play Store.
Anyone else having this problem, it also happens on 3g. So it only downloads our update apps in WiFi. I've cleared data and cache rebooted and nothing works. I can't believe I'm the only one having this issue. Stock rooted and only WiFi tether app installed. Thanks in advance.

Okay, problem solved.
It turns out that my issue was a direct cause of my tinkering with data usage settings.
I had accidentally set the "restrict background data" option in data usage settings for Media. Media contains the component 'Download Manager' and 'Downloads' and when I decided to remove all background data restrictions last night, downloads on the play store worked again.

[Q] Various Google services not working

Hi all,
My first post! I have a new Galaxy Note II LTE version (N7105) that's having some google problems. I've read through just about everything I could find, but nothing is working for me, so I hope someone here can help!
Whenever I'm on 3G/HSPA/HSPA+, various Google services don't work fully. Things I've noticed so far:
Play store will open and show the opening page, but fails to connect to display any app info or pictures (no error 495, just connection timeout); oddly, I can go on my computer and install an item from the Play store website and it will download almost instantly to my phone.
Gmail will open and receive messages just fine, but won't send until I connect to LTE or wifi (though it says it's sending)
I can perform a normal google search, but when I try to switch to images, the connection fails
I can search in Maps, but driving directions fail; navigation works, though
The weird thing is that LTE or wifi work just fine for all of the above. I can do everything else as normal on 3G - no problems viewing webpages or using Whatsapp, for example.
I've tried clearing app caches and resetting the phone, rooting & using Set DNS, deleting & recreating APNs, all to no avail. Please, can anyone help?

anyone? any ideas?

Connection problem. Go to settings/apps/all apps and clear data of Google Services Framework. That sometimes helps, you may have to do that af few times though.
Make sure to wipe all apps from the cache too (pressing and holding home button and select all apps).

Thanks for the tip! Unfortunately, that put the Google Play Store into an endless force-close loop and I ended up having to reset the phone. Even after a reset, though, it's still having the connection problems. I'm starting to think it might just be something with my service provider...
You have to flash back stock rom or any other custom rom.

[Q] No connection- Retry error on google apps with 2G/3G

I am at my wits end here.
I changed operators about a month ago, from a weak operator to the best operator in my Country(with the strongest signal). Ever since then, I don't know if it's a coincedence, I am experiencing this incredibly annoying error. Ironically, with my previous operator who had a much worse signal this never happened before. The only difference here is that my previous operator used a regular micro SIM card and my new operator is using something called USIM. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.
It doesn't happen every time, it's really sporadical, sometimes it works everytime, sometimes it doesn't. I open Gmail and I receive a "No connection" and a retry button. I go to Play Store and get the same thing, my Gtalk gets disconnected. I hit the retry button and sometimes it connects immediatelly and sometimes I have to tap it numerous times.
What's weird about it, I always have the strongest HSDPA signal, full bars and browsing the web works. It's just the Google apps that get disconnected. It is incredibly annoying.
Things I have tried to solve this:
1. Clear cache and data for all gapps
2. Clear dalvik
3. messed with my APN settings(they are 100% correct, checked with the operator)
4. Full wipe
5. Repair with PC Companion with no additional apps installed.
6. New SIM from my operator
Nothing has helped. This keeps happening. I have no idea what to do.
Does anyone have any idea how to solve this? Any idea is appreciated. I am running ICS 6.1.A.2.55.
Thanks
I get the same problem sometimes. Usually while activating wifi, but it happens when i'm on 2G/3G as well. Totally random and i'm on a weaker operator.
On 2.55 as well (no mods at this moment), with ics17 kernel

Never got that on WiFi. :-/
Maybe Google is blocked its services for your operator. Try psiphon3 for android and "Tunnel whole device".

Could you please elaborate on this? How does this app work, what's the point? I just installed it and I'm not sure what I will accomplish with this.
Run the app and check the "Tunnel whole device". When it is successfully connected, a green dot will appear.
After that, test Google apps.
Report result please.

I just tried it, done just what you said and the green dot appeared. But my internet stopped working, no data seemed to pass through. Not even browser.

I don't see how this can help me as my problem is not losing internet connectivity overall, it's gapps not connecting. Web browsers work all the time.

so, anything from google (stock browser, youtube, gmail, play store) are having retry error ? but apps like whatsapp, viber, opera browser just run flawlessly ? if thats the problem.. like i mention above, download 3g reconnect. the apps seems to force google apps to use data connection instead staying idle.
i recommend that apps bcause im having the same problem, having retry error on youtube and play store, and gmail just wont sync but opera and whatsapp run like normal.
read the description on that apps before download.

I have been given a solution in the most unexpected of places....Sony support forums!
Try removing proxy/port from the APN and see if that helps.
It sure did help, never had the error again.

Delete host file from system/etc/
It may work

No Play Store on Wi-Fi

I'm able to access the Play Store without issue on carriers data network, but the moment I connect to Wi-Fi (tried it at work, and at home) I get either No Connection with a 'Retry' button, or a Server Error with a 'Retry' button.
All other internet services work no problem. I can browse the web, stream music, anything.
Using the rom located here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2261013
It has worked no problem on this rom before so I don't believe it to be an issue with the rom. I've cleared the data from the play store and still no go.
Any ideas?
*Also appears Google Music and Maps isn't playing over Wi-Fi either. Seems to be any Google related service.

I was able to get this resolved by doing the following:
Settings > More > Application Manager
Swipe to the right to get to the ALL menu
Scroll down to Google Service Framework
Clear Cache, Clear Data, Force Stop
Go back to Application Manager and go up to the Android icon Downloads
Clear Data
Power off device for 1 minute
On Power On, it still did not work however I repeated the steps for the Google Service Framework, and after a force stop it automatically came back up and all Google services were working again.
Hope this helps anyone else that may run into this issue.:fingers-crossed:
Thanks for posting how you fixed it
