[Q] Unable to Purchase Apps from Google Store - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Since getting on Freeza JB or Blazer JB builds, I havent been able to purchase any apps. Everytime I try it says, "can't connect to Google Servers". Is Google servers having an issue or is this a JB issue?

I just bought something to try it. Worked fine for me. You owe me 1.49
Go to Settings, Application Manager, then scroll down to the Play Store. Clear Data and Cache then reboot. Should fix it

[Q] Play Store probs

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.

Ebay installed but invisible?

Hello guys,
A friend has just got herself a lovely OneX, and tonight she showed me that Ebay was installed, we could run it from Google Play, but it is not visible anywhere in the app drawer, not ALL and not Downloaded...
I went to app settings, cleared cache, settings, uninstalled, reinstalled, and it is still invisible!
Any ideas?
She is on O2 UK.
Thanks,
Mark.

Did you try going to settings, apps, find the app and click on it and make sure it isn't disabled.

Hi westwood, she has gone home now, but i did go to settings apps and reset everything before uninstalling and reinstalling... so i would assume it was not disabled, she has never been to the app settings, so she wouldnt have disabled it and im sure it would not be disabled by default.
any other ideas?

She has stock rom, not rooted... straight from the shop...

when you open the app right after downloading from the play store, do you select for the uk?
i'm on stock in the us on an international one x and just downloaded without difficulty, but when i first opened the app, it did ask for the usual end user agreement and pointed to making a choice of location. very odd if it works on some units and not on others.
hi, yes we did use UK, and she managed to log in using the Open button in Play Store... but she doesnt want to have to go to play store every time to run the app!
Very odd.
She may take the phone back to the o2 shop and ask them whats going on. (the advantage of NOT rooting

I doubt they will have more of a clue at the store than people here on XDA :/

[Q] Play Store force closes whenever I try to report a hang or FC

Hi everyone,
I have an issue where google play store will force close whenever I try to report an app hang, or when I try to report another application crashing. I remember it working a long time ago, but at some point it stopped.
I currently have my phone rooted, with Virtuous Affinity installed. I used to have Unity installed, which was present when play store (or market, at the time) was fully functioning, although it stopped even before I upgraded roms.
Also, all apps are currently updated, including play store its self. If anyone can help with this issue, that would be great.

To my knowledge, if you're running a custom ROM, the reporting function is disabled, because when Google sees its a non official ROM they junk the request. Correct me if I'm wrong

Thats cause of custom rom problem... Try to reinstall latest PlayStore Apps.. clear cache and dalvik and reboot...

Problems with Google Navigation after 4.1.2 update? Read this!

Took me quite some time to figure this one out, thought I should post it here in case anyone else has a similar problem.
When I updated to Android 4.1.2, I noticed that my Google Navigation stopped working. It would simply sit there endlessly "Waiting for location..." Fortunately, there's a simple fix:
1. Go to "Settings > Accounts > Google > Location Settings".
2. Flip the switch to "On" (I found this was off in my case).
3. Try Google Navigation again, it should work fine.
I'm not sure why Google decided to break up the location settings into two different places like this, but it's a bit silly IMO as it's definitely going to catch some people out.
You probably cleared the Google Services Framework at some point. When you do that, it disables location services.
Makes sense. It's still a good thing to let people know about it.
It's good to know that I wasn't the only one with this issue factory reset did the thing for me.
I have a different issue
hi
My issue is different.
After the update I am not able to download updates from Google play.
It tells me that the connection to the server has been timed out.
|I cleared the Cache of Google play, but did not helped.
Any ideas?
The issue with GPS was present on update from ics to jb as well and also on 4.0 to 4.0.x and fix was the same as you described it switch on and off location service

In my case it was actually that the location service for Google apps was switched off by default after the update. I didn't need to cycle it or anything, just simply switch it on.

Not sure how to fix that. Are you sure you have an internet connection on your phone? You might need to use the "Clear Data" option, rather than just "Clear Cache".
Hey, man, thanks a lot, I've been banging my head for 6 hours until I found your post. I was minutes away from resetting my phone to factory defaults. You saved me a lot of trouble. Kudos to you!
Thanks for the heads up on this!
Thanks
I too had emptied the google apps framework for the update to 4.2.1 on the galaxy nexus, this helped me out. Thanks!
Awesome
It worked for me in a Galaxy S3 i9300. Thank you so much!

[Solved] Problems with Play on WiFi

I just rooted my GS3 and everything seemed to go well. I tried downloading rootkeeper from the play store, but the download just hung with a dashed line, not showing percentages. I thought it might have been the app so i tried a free game same issue. I went to my play music and couldn't play any of my songs either. I rebooted the phone a few times. still nothing.
I then disabled wifi and it downloaded like a champ. I'm wondering if this is something related to rooting the phone or a newly developed issued with my network. The phone is only a few weeks old, but i have not had any d/l issues before on this or other phones. In case it matters, which it probably does i used the mrRobinson methods.
Re: Problems with Play on WiFi
What rom are you on? Also, what baseband? Did you just take the MB1 update or MA6?

Did I mention this was all fairly new to me. I followed this guide and used those files....so it should be the stock rom and baseband right (I had to look that up). As far as updates, if you mean ota updates i'm not sure. I flashed it today and it was 10 minutes later when I was trying to add rootkeeper via play (using my home wifi). I went into system updates and they are all up to date. What is/are MB1 and MA6. I searched but it didn't see anything that look like an explanation about those if you had a good link.

Can you access the internet at all while on wifi? Might not be only play store if.you cant

Yes I could access and use everything that I tried (foxfire, viggle, amazon app store), Play was the only thing not working, meaning it worked, I just could not download. I tried Play again at work today on WiFi and it worked normally. I will have to investigate my home network tonight. The only thing that has changed recently was the addition of a sprint airrave. I will update this later once I find something out.
Thanks for the help and suggestions CNexus and Speedin07si!
I unhooked the air rave and it is working fine again....I guess that fixes that problem.
