Google Play Store issue since ICS update.. - Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion

I tried to purchase and app and I have always had the carrier billing option ..now since the update that option is gone and the only options are to use credit card or PayPal. Did this happen to anyone else? Is there a way to resolve?

I've noticed that too..

On the arc-rogers they had a somewhat custom store that included theirs aSewell
Witch allowed for this. But when I flashed any custom Rom it changed to the classic store no rogers. Thus may have happened to you. Try and recoverthe original app and remove old and install.
Good luck.

Won't let purchase apps or do in-app purchases

I know there is someone who has encountered this problem. I know its mostly Google's retarded faulty programming that is causing this and I've Googled it and I still can't find a solution. I cleared data and cache, reboot it, accept terms, yet when I try to buy an app, I still get the same problem. I've had this happen before. I'm on the OTA Gingerbread Plus ROM.

Goto ur Google account on PC & make sure it sees ur device

I did and under dashboard it shows my device under"Android device"and I'm still having the same problem. I can't even purchase a comic through the Marvel app

I have to ask, is a valid credit/debit card attached to your Google account?
Is it possible your bank halted purchases stemming from the android market?
I have two, but when I try to set the other in default I have the same problem. However when I purchase from there actual website I can do that. I would be ok with that if it weren't for the in app purchases

I remember someone having this problem before, can't remember if they had to uninstall market & reinstall or just fix permissions.

I tried uninstalling the market updates, but I'm still having the same issue. I even created another gmail account and added my cards and I'm still getting the issue. Could it be the ROM or my phone?

Most likely rom, what aru running.
Maybe try reflashing gapps?

I think it might be the ROM. I talked to Android Market support. And I was able to sign in on my mom's phone and bought an app. Here is the ROM I'm using.

Yep its the ROM. I went back to the regular OTA gingerbread backup and I didn't get the error message. I'm going to see if there is a solution to the ROM I want to be on though
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda premium
Gotcha, glad you were able to figure it out. If it helps, you should contact Jermaine151 and let him know of your issue. I want to say that was an anomaly since Stock Plus is a popular rom.
All in all, glad the issue is resolved.
Well it will be when I get the market he'll put in the post so I can flash it. But I'm glad its not my phone lol

Error: "Insifficent storage available"

Anybody has encountered this message when updating apps from the store?
Sent from my SGH-T999
Most stock builds have a point it wont let you go past for apps. So if you have something like only 10% free on internal, it may not let you install any more. How much storage do you have left?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
There is plenty of storage available...
Sent from my SGH-T999
Ok, then yeah, thats a problem.
Did you try again after a reboot?
If so try going into recovery and clear cache and dalvik.

Restored a previous backup. All is good. Very weird though. I also noticed there was another playstore service app installed in addition to the normal google playstore. Probably they have made updates

It happened to me for the first time when I tried to update to a newer version of Astro file manager. Did not happen with other apps though.
I am running stock firmware, rooted.

When I got that message, long story short, it was because I got a paid app for free and tried to use a license key app. Bottom line, pay for the app the honest way.

I got that message while updating flipboard which is a free app. Appware was causing that problem. Once uninstalled problem solved.

Google Play Error

Ever since I got my SIII, I've been having problems with the Play Store. Anytime I go to purchase a paid application, I get the error "Unable to retrieve information from the server [DF-DFERH-01]. Googling this error only shows me a bug that affected the GTalk a few months back. But the even more odd thing is, its starting to happen on my N7 as well. I can download free apps fine. It looks like it's having problems initilizing Google Wallet for the purchase. Wasnt having these problems with my other phone (EVO 4G LTE on Sprint). Is this a known bug with T-Mobiles networks? I've tried it on multiple wireless networks, as well as HSPA. Even had my buddy sitting right next to me try and he could download fine. I'm rooted on CM10 today, but I've tried 3-4 other ROMS with the same problem. Almost positive its tied into my Google account. Did the basic troubleshooting steps such as clearing the Play Store data/cache/uninstalled a Google Play Services update, and re-added my Google account. Is anyone else experiencing this? And if so, is there a known fix?

I did actually. I switched to ParanoidAndroid for a second to see a new build. I screwed around for a few seconds then uninstalled it.

So currently you are running at which dpi? 99 percent of the time market errors are caused by dpi

How would I tell that? It was set to stock when I flashed PA. And I set everything back before I flashed back.
Could also be a problem with your account like you mentioned. I think some people have had problems when having multiple services associated with that account. Maybe create a new account and see if it still happens. Dont know how inconvenient that may be for you.
But if its happening on different roms and devices then its surely the account. Maybe contact google support?

Yeah. That's kind of worst case scenario. I know they're a PITA to get in touch with. That's why I was seeing if there is anyone else with this problem that could possibly help me fix it.

Have you tried clearing data and cache from the play store, google services framework, and google play services.
Not guaranteed to work but usually when you get problems with the play store, doing this can help 'fix' the problem
Yeah buddy i tried but no luck. It seems to be with the sim card because when i changed to my brother sim card it worked and display also paid apps and all apps. The sim card is from Slovenia but a monaco sim card wont work. Thanks.

Someone have answered you on other threads, issue was from server and other user also have same issue and just solved automatically, so may be it should work on your sim too.

[Q] Can't get rid of "package file is invalid" error in PlayStore

So I flashed a bunch of roms over 2-3 days trying to find something different that I'd like. Now no matter what I try, I can't get this to go away.
I've searched and experimented for the past 2 days and I can't get anywhere.
-clear app cache
-clear app data
-remove updates
-format sd card
-factory reset phone
-turn off location services
-turn off wifi
-try new apn
-install stock rom
-install various other roms
-delete cache, permissions, etc
-different gmail accounts
-sign out, reboot, sign in
I've literally tried everything out there that I can find by searching. The last thing I haven't done that I will have to try if I can't do anything else is to "un-root" my phone back to stock.
The weird thing is if I Check the play store, it says apps are installed. But they aren't.
Any one out there have any ideas?
Going back to stock won't fix it either. It a problem on googles end.

I'm having the same issue. I'm not rooted or anything. I can download certain apps no problem but can't update any. I tried almost everything you did and nothing worked. I even took it to att and was told it's an issue with Google. You can always download a vpn app from the play store and you'll be able to download with no errors. I use hideninja Vpn.

It allows you to change your location to france, Canada or wherever which in turn changes your IP address. It doesn't change your location permanently of course, only while your connected to the app. I looked online for ways to fix the package file invalid error and this was one way posted. It definitely works if you have this annoying problem. I even went ahead and purchased the pro version of the app I posted. Lol.

I still have not fixed the issue. I was stuck on trying 2 to 3 apps that refused to work. Looking across the board, I am able to download probably 80% of the apps that I try. Nothing has allowed me to get the other 20% that refuse to work so far.
I've tried the VPN app....I don't think there is anything else out there on my end that I can do. It's weird, I can download 5 apps in a row, then one app will give me the error, then I can keep on chugging if I choose a different app.
its happenning to alot of people, myself included...no big deal, as no app is "life critical"...
when google gets it fixed, it will be back to business as usual, so just be patient
