New problem with Market

Hey everyone,
Ever since getting my phone in early october everything has been great. But just recently, I can't connect to purchase games/apps from the market. I can download something that's free no problem, but if it costs money, as soon as I click on the buy button, it says "attention: a server error has occurred. Retry or cancel and try again later." It never works at all for the last few weeks.
My connection is fine. I downloaded 3 free games today alone (and plenty others over the last few weeks). I update all my apps constantly. Everything is stock including the original sd card and I'm not rooted (yet). But ever since these last 3 weeks it won't get to the screen where I get to choose my payment method.
One more note, this started a few days BEFORE my market got updated to the new version of the market. It stopped letting me buy stuff first, then upgraded to the new version of market and still doesn't work.
Oh and also I've tried rebooting, I've tried force stopping the market app and I've cleared the data/cache of the market in app management.
Pleeease help... there's a couple apps and games on sale right now that I want!
Thanks
Dave

Just thought id let everyone know that I finally figured it out!
For all the people out there posting about this same problem, here's the solution:
Log in to your google checkout account (on a computer since you can't from a phone) and re-add your credit card information... fixed it instantly. Yes I already had a credit card in there that was still good... and I had my t-mobile account in there to bill, but apparently something stupid went wrong and it thought I had no billing options available and instead of giving a worthwhile error message it just said "network error"
I fixed it. Your welcome google. Send me something free now please

Google Wallet Help

So I am an idiot.
I flashed the zip for google wallet on thursday and had everything working. Loaded money onto it, used it 3 times. everything was good.
Decided to try and erase data and use a different email address.
After I did that I got secure element is not responding.
I tried to recover a backup with no google wallet ever on it and i get the same thing.
i tried to load just the .apk and same thing.
does anyone know how to get it working again after this error message? i have tried a factory reset...
No one knows?

ran into this same problem, can not seem to get wallet to work and i am worried that if it ever dose get released for verzion gnex that it wont work. Really hope someone is able to figure out what is causing it or how to fix it.
I'm still looking for a fix. Will let you know if I find one.. do the same if you find a fix
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Will do, saw in the wallet .apk thread that if that happens and you don't have a nandroid back up of before wallet was on there then the best you can do is get a new device because the element has locked the phone out. Seems like it would be a silly feature to lock the phone out forever rendering it useless forever but who knows. Maybe someone smarter then me can figure out a solution if not i'm sure i can make up a good reason to exchange mine before the 14 days are up.
noev.. went and exchanged for new nexus today.
I unlocked boot loader. Rooted. Made a backup before installing google wallet this time.
Loaded the .apk and installed. Worked fine.. clicked on pre paid card. Took forever to get card info..
And there's $10 on it again. Weird because I only had some change on before. I have loaded money on it and made 3 purchases. Their still in transaction history but I'm at $10 again.
Gonna go try it out again.

Can't download anything here either....I downloaded an app earlier...and my phone has been on, streaming Pandora all day while I work....now all of a sudden I can't download a damn thing from the Play Store.....they must be having problems!

My buddy with a note had the same error so it's not just us.
Just checked with a friend who has a Stock Galaxy S3 on Verizon and he is getting similar errors as well.
Same here in Nexus 4,
i think their server is down
Same here. I thought something was wrong on my end. Glad to see that's not the case.
Working fine for me

Perhaps we will be seeing an update?
Nope, been downloading stuff all day no issues
My HTC One wasn't working until just a few minutes ago. However my nexus 10 worked the whole time...
Resetting caches and clearing data on various google apps didn't immediately fix it either. Although I suppose it did work 30 minutes after the resets...
It's back up for me now too. Since the Play Store was only down from about 2pm to 5pm Mountain Time, and this thread doesn't serve for much purpose ( abeit those who will search the forums tomorrow for any explanation for the errors being caused from earlier today), should I delete this forum after tomorrow night? I've scoured Twitter and Reddit and am surprised not a lot of people are talking about it. If it was Apple, it would be all over the news.
Yeah your not alone. I got an error downloading a free app
There was a droid-life story that there were app update and download issues.

I don't see why we would need this thread after the issue was resolved.

I honestly think it was the new google+ update so I went in to play stoee and uninstalled the latest update so far I havent recieved the same error but I do still get random foreclosures in other apps . Great

I have been getting it the past couple days. I cleared my cache and 8 hrs no message. I am on the latest update from the play store. Stock firmware
Scratch that just started happening again
Happening to me since the update during last week. This morning (about 10am GMT 16th nov) another update was available. Installed it with faith, but to no avail sadly. Still happening, with almost every app. Shockingly this shows how far it roots itself into the system doesn't it?

What update are you getting? As far as I know the SM-900T has not received an OTA yet.
Just started happening to me just now, and Google+ won't open at all anymore. Weird. I've been having trouble with Google Play Services acting funny lately, so I assume it's related to the latest update of that (4.0.33). Only other issue I am having, and it isn't really an issue, is that Google Settings app icon keeps turning grey instead of green. Seems to work fine though.
I just updated to a newer version of Google + via the play store. I am no longer having this issue now.
The version I have currently is 4.2.3.56698342, released on play store this saturday just gone (16th), and this is the latest version on there. It's still giving major grief. I can't so much as delete a gallery photo, open a map, anything, without a ten second hang, followed by the unfortunately stopped message.

Did you try clearing the cache. I was having this a lot too. Since clearing cache and updating I have not had this issue happen at all for the last few days

Yes tried that a few times. I notice on the play store several of the comments are from s3 users as well as s4, yet a friend of mine with an s3 has had no issues at all.
Very odd.

Play Store / Google Wallet Problems

I'm having a strange problem, and I'm really hoping someone might have an answer, because it's driving me crazy...
I'm not able to buy anything through the Play Store (including in-app purchases). Every time I try to it tells me "This payment method has been declined", regardless of what method I choose (Play Store credit, Google Wallet, Bill to carrier, and 4 valid cards I have saved). I can't even 'purchase' free items (ie. free music tracks).
I'm also having an issue with the Google Wallet app, in that I can't add funds. Every time I try, regardless of how I try to add them (tried 3 valid cards), it tells me I cannot send money with Google Wallet.
I'm running Echoe v6 (international ROM), and everything was working fine, until yesterday. I made a full backup in TWRP, flashed a couple other ROMs I wanted to try, and finally did a full wipe and restored the TWRP backup I had made. Ever since restoring I've been having these problems, though everything else is working exactly how it was prior to backing up/restoring.
I've tried clearing data/cache for both Play Store and Wallet, deleted and re-added my credit cards on a PC, and still nothing. If anyone has ANY ideas or suggestions, they would be GREATLY appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't think anything I did fixed it. I'm thinking it was some sort of issue with my account on Google's end, that ended up resolving itself.
I had spent hours messing with it, finally got so pissed off/frustrated that I turned the phone off, plugged it in, and did some work on my laptop. When I came back to the phone about 4 hours later, it was working again. During that time, I went to the Google Wallet site from my Palm and deleted a few old, unused cards from it, but I don't think that had anything to do with the problems I was having.
I wish I could offer you more help, but I can't. Good luck though!

Thanks anyway man. Yeah this issue has been frustrating me for a good couple of weeks now. I don't really buy much on the play store but now that i do want to purchase something it is just pissing me off. I think I'm going to contact Google see if they can help or something.

I'm having this problem too, says my card is declined when trying to add money to my Google Wallet. Just called the bank, they don't have anything showing my card being rejected, so it looks like it may be a problem on Google's end
