Hey chaps!
Yesterday, I got me an brand new Xperia Play.
But yesterday evening, I suddenly couldn't download from the android market.
I've tried to clear the cache, removed the updates and installed the whole thing again (I've rebooted after every step).
I tought it was maybe a server error or something like that, but today, I still can't download anything...
The phone got root already and I accidentally removed download.apk from system/apps/
I never remove apps from that folder, so I've moved it to my sd card. When I realised that I was doing it wrong, I placed the apk back and installed it several times...
What can I do now? I really don't want to do a factory reset cause I should have to do everything all over again...
Help me plz!
Greetings,
Sander

There was a little trick in the past to get system update OTAs. Clear data from the google services framework then click the check now for updates. I remember having to do it multiple times. Does anyone know if that is working for JB?

JB is not a OTA update yet, so it wont work currently.

Probably, as they're just gonna push the OTA like they normally do, but its not available yet... Pushing the code to AOSP and releasing the OTA are two different things.

Nevermind. Found it in Settings - Apps - All - Google Services Framework - Clear Data.
Didn't help however. Maybe I'll just repeat the procedure a few times and report if anything happens...

Repeated the procedure 6 or 7 times now, also tried forcing the services framework to quit afterwards and restarted the device. Didn't help.

So I tried this earlier this morning since there's all the talk of Jelly bean coming out, it didn't work and now I've got problems with the Play store, whenever I try to update an app or install a new one I get this error:
"error while retrieving information from server. rpc:aec:0"
I've done some searching and cleared data / cache multiple times as suggested, but no luck. Does anyone have any idea's?
Thanks.

Strange, I did the same and now the error appears to me while updating or downloading apps... I think we just have to wait a bit an it's working again (hopefully).
After having restarted the device, I could successfully install a random app from the market.

Well that's strange, but I'm glad I'm not the only one
I also noticed when you tell an app to update on the Google Play website, it doesn't get sent through to the phone...
I feel the only fix for this may be to do a factory reset, or wait for the OTA which should fix it...

I did the same and got the same problem as you, then I tried adding a second account to play store (my wifes) and I could add apps using that one. So I then deleted all Google accounts, and re applied my account and its all back working again.
Still no Jelly Bean yet though, I am resisting the temptation to root at the moment and applying the update manually, trying to stay with a vanilla Google Nexus.

Though I might just root it :angel:

Yeah ultimately I deleted my google account from my phone and re-added it, I think that's what did the trick however I followed all the various techniques in this thread (http://forum. xda-developers. com/ showthread.php?t=1632890&page=4)
All good now, but still not Jelly Bean :-( I'm doing the same, I'd really like to keep it vanilla at the moment, it's painful though as I'm now waiting for Jelly Bean on the Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7 to be delivered!!!
this trick helps did the whole procedure repeatedly like 5 times or so, and Voila!! there it is 4.1 JB

Does this method delete any important data on the phone? Just curious. Am flashed to stock yakju 4.0.4 with an unlocked bootloader. Debating if I should a) Flash b) wait till I get it - Canada (Bell Mobility) or c) Do this method but don't want to start from scratch.

This worked for me! I did a little happy dance when it happened!
As you'll see, this is my first post gents, I honestly have no idea where to ask this question so I'll try in here and hopefully someone will know the answer or direct me to an appropriate thread...
Now that I've got JB I really want my Nexus to just have the basic JB settings, so like it was fresh out the box but with all my apps, pics, contacts texts etc already on it. I am unrooted but was running go launcher and some go widgets which I've deleted but I really want to go one step further but at the same time short of a factory reset as that will lose everything!
That make sense??
I was trying this procedure since yesterday and did repetitions of 5 to 10 back to back and no luck totaling up to 50 times approximately. Just ended up unlocking the boot-loader and flashing it using CWM couldn't wait lol. Best thing was that because the device is from the Play Store when unlocking the boot-loader and didn't erase anything.
I've managed to extract an apk of a (free) application that is restricted to the Galaxy S3. Unfortunately, when I try to install this apk on my Galaxy Nexus, it says 'application not installed'. I'm assuming this is because the S3's device ID is integrated into the apk file, which is why the apk installs fine onto the S3 that it was extracted from.
How does one get around this? Surely it's possible, as applications such as Google Wallet are extracted and shared for all devices on the internet within hours of an update. Could somebody give me a guide on how to do this?
Just a thought, install on your s3, titium back up , copy the backup to your GN and install

It's my mother's S3; I can't root it.
Add her email account then go to play store menu and click her email under accounts and her play suite will be on there. Just make sure you don't sync when setting it up or will get all her emails. Then remove her account. app will still be installed and will update. If you flash you'll have to do it again

Is yours rooted? If so, did you try adding into the system apps folder? Make sure you make a backup too

Don't need root. Just add her under accounts on phone. I did it once. My friend had tmobile. I'm sprint. Apps are tied to email account. All you do is switch user in the store and hers will be there and yours won't until you switch back. Get app. Switch back to yours. Go back to phone settings and remove her account.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've just tried it now. Unfortunately, even though the app did show up in the list, I'm getting "your device is not compatible with this version".
What app? just curious.

Any new ideas?
Is it even possible to pull files from system folders via ADB command without root?
Isn't there some Apps that can temporary root your device withou actually touch system to root it?
Or why don't you root it and then afterwards unroot it?

I think you will be able to pull this off in a custom recovery.

OK, so I've realised that the apk that I've pulled from the S3 works fine. I had an online friend install it on his phone and it installs perfectly. I then tried installing it on a Galaxy Note and Galaxy S2. Both of those threw up the same error: 'application not installed'. This has lead me to conclude that the apk, and the application, have device checks built-in. It won't install on anything other than an S3.
Does anyone know how to decompile apks to remove these device checks? I know it's possible, but how complicated is it?
I sold a friend of mine my Galaxy SPH-D710. It's rooted and has Calkulins last ROM. The phone works great except for one thing. It WILL not connect to the Play Store for him. I have tried everything except a complete wipe because he has all his stuff on it. I think it's because he associated it to his Google account (naturally) but it had/has some of my paid apps (like Titanium Backup Pro and Busybox pro and such) that he doesn't use. When you hit the Google Play icon it says, "you must add an account to the device to continue. Do you want to add one now?". When you say yes it FCs. I'm trying to avoid a complete wipe and restore becasue it might restore the same problem and I'd hate for his data to be lost if something goes wrong.
Anyone have an idea?
You will probably have to force un install the play store then re install it. I am not sure where to find the APK to do that. I'd that doesn't work factory restore will need to be done.

If I'm not mistaken I believe you can download the latest playstore apk from Google. Just type it in and look for the latest apk..

Try going into app manager and google play then force stop, uninstall updates, and clear data. It should work again after that.
HTC One X here had weird pixelating and freezing problems couple of weeks ago so we took it to the repair. They replaced almost everything, including the main board and we got it back just now. Works fine, but there's problems with Google Play. When trying to press update, it presses to the app. If trying to press update (just above the "remove" button) it presses remove instead and asks for the app removal. If trying to install new app and to press install, it doesn't do anything.
Is this because of the new android version they just rolled on to HTC One X or if they repaired it wrong, or replaced screen bits wrong or something? Really clueless here.
The phone is onrooted and on stock ROM, if that helps. Tried clearing data and the typical stuff, reboot, no luck. Before trying root and another ROM just asking if someone has similar problem, if not maybe we can take it back to the repair without unrooting work and such...
Did you try factory reset? If you don't want to do that then root, install titanium backup and uninstall the app, reboot then reinstall.

Hi, tried factory reset, didn't change a thing. Can't press update all, open or update buttons, it always chooses the space below it... for example in "My apps" view it selects the first app when trying to click "update all". In the app view, it selects "remove" when trying to click "update"... This issue seems to be only on Google Play, other apps work fine, even when tapping that same spot that is problematic in Google Play.
I don't know if I want to root yet, because if I'm going to send it to repair I have to do lots of work to unroot it (to remain warranty). But if it's the only option so be it. I wish the repair guys didn't mess something up last time. Other thing I'm guessing that the new stock ROM has some issues, but haven't seen reported them anywhere else...
What's the latest version of Google Play and where to get it? can I install new version of Google Play to unrooted system? Thanks in advance!

Make a backup first! Before you do anything made sure you can get back to this point. I think Google play is a part of the system partition so you can't uninstall without root. Bee careful, messing with that stuff can really make your life miserable if you can't troubleshoot!
