Hi guys,
this is driving me nuts. I've searched the webs and found some answers, but not anything I'd like to do to remedy this problem.
My brand new R800i, not rooted, won't download games from Google Play Store via wi-fi. It will just say "starting download" and then nothing happens, I can just just watch that bar indicating download as it does not move one bit. It seems some other people had this same problem, as I've found out on the internet. 3G works fine though. I had to download my games from the Play Store using 3G, which is a pain in the ass.
A few points to consider:
- I have only so far used one wi-fi point, which worked with all my previous Xperia Plays. Maybe if I try a different hot-spot, the problem will magically disappear?
- I do not want to root, unlock bootloader or do any such things with my XP.
- I do NOT want to reset my phone to factory settings, I would lose lots of savegame data.
- I HAVE tried several times clearing the cache of the Google Store app, Download Manager app and resetting the Google Talk app. Did not help.
- Downloading from any other source (Gameloft for example) works via wi-fi, it's just that stupid Google Play Store that does not.
- Some people say the problem should sort itself out after a few days...It's been two weeks and I still can't download via wi-fi from the Store.
Could any kind soul suggest a solution that does not involve resetting my phone, or rooting? Thanks for any advice.
Did u try clearing the data...not the cache but the data

Yes, did not help.
Besides, that just erases your user data right? Your log-in and password.
I will try it again just to be sure, but I think I did it too.
i too had same prob. but it got solved after 3 or 4 days... may be i was lucky.
Used to have this problem. Uninstall update ( this will get you back to old market) then let it update again. That's what I did.

I had this problem once or twie abotu a year ago, and uninstalling the Android market update, then letting it redownloadsolved the issue, whereas the other options as a fix did not fix the issue, this did.

...doesn't work for me, nor does anything else mentioned before Tried installing 3.8.15 via .apk and back to stock, clearing cache, data etc. Play Store works with UMTS/EDGE but not as good as before (takes a while before download actually starts, that behavior is new). With WiFi I don't get an error message but the download simply doesn't start. Everything else I do via WiFi works great (FTP-syncing calendar data stored on my NAS, browsing the web, file transfer via ES-FileExplorer and so on).
I use a Galaxy S3 with Siyah Kernel (1.5rc1), XXBLG8 Stock Firmware and XXLH1 modem. Same Market issue before the update (Siyah 1.4, Stock XXALE8, stock modem (May 2012)). So maybe it is not at all model related, but something with the market itself... Strangely I found just a few posts about this - here I have the most hope for help

Well, I am stumped man, dont know what to tell you. I am out of ideas. You may have already mentioned this but have you tried reflashing a ROM? Other then that at this point I am stumped...... hoping you can find a fix because that sucks....

Uninstall play store update, clear everything, reboot and try. That's what I did.
Edit: go to settings> accounts & sync > and check if you have background data checked.

First: I know I am in the wrong model section, as I use a Galaxy S3 but post under Sony Xperia... Sorry for that - it was just a topic that seemed Google Play Store related rather than dependant on a specific model.
Second: I tried all of this (although I don't have such a section under settings/accounts on my phone) and more. I just flashed the latest stock firmware again*, did a full wipe, used TriangleAway! and every single thing I can think of. I even went to my google-account to see if there's something wrong, but no.
Still: UMTS works, WiFi doesn't. WiFi otherwise perfectly working with all kinds of uses. Tried all tips and hints, nothing works. Problem started a few days ago with older fw/ROM, which I didn't touch for weeks and worked fine until then. I really don't have a clue what changed!
EDIT: I also checked, if my ISP or my WLAN settings (router) are off - nada. I tried to install/update an app on another Android device in my household: this one works perfectly with WiFi. So it must be the Store itself...
UPDATE: Still no real solution! In the meantime it worked for a few days without my doing and in the same way it stopped working again today. I guess the Google server software is bugged. I placed a support request at Google-Support. This was an experience I can't make public enough:
Even though I initially told them what I tried they just did a copy&paste of their own F.A.Q. This went on for four days, the didn't even read my information. And I was quite thorough. I even made a network capture file, prefiltered it with Wireshark and attached it to the e-mail. As proof that my firewall isnt't blocking the traffic. No reaction to that, no technician was asked or involved, nothing. They simply closed the ticket and left me standing there. I'm still pretty pi...ed. This kind of "support" I don't want at all. Just a waste of time. I sincerely hope for a Google PlayStore replacement so one is not practically forced to use it. I'd volunteer to pay 1$ more for each buy just to circumvent that kind of nonsense Google is playing here.
This is me again. My problem is back, I can't download via WiFi from Google play store on both my Xperia play and Nexus 7. What is strange though is that SOME apps will download while others will not. It seems that apps I paid for some amount /like GTA 3, Max Payne, Reckless Racing/ and that were never completely free, WILL download. Others that I got for free /e.g. Call of Mini Zombies, Juggernaut, Heroes Call and many others/ will not download. This seems peculiar to me. Did anyone have this kind of behaviour on your android device?

Now, it's me. I'm getting fed up. I had to clean data, clean cache of playstore and then got to clean the data and cache of download manager.

Google earth not working since flashing..
Hi, I first flashed about a month ago now, starting with Vicious and since then I can't get past the startup for GE. I did a few other roms, and now I'm using CM 10 but still no luck. With Vicious I was able to get it to work by doing the uninstall updates option because it was 'baked in', but that meant I couldn't use the latest version. With all the other roms you have to download it from Play, and all GE does is crash at the activity circle.
I'm still getting the hang of things, I tried the fix permissions in rom manager, and tried clearing the caches in the app. Google search hasn't shown this to be a reported problem and I don't see any thing here about it. Google earth isn't critical but i enjoy passing the time with it and would like to get it working again, so any Idea on a fix?
Hey guys mr friend has a note 2 and he received the 4.1.2 update yesterday, since then he is having problems with google apps like Playstore and chrome browser
Playstore: cant open it at all...gets crashed in 2 seconds.

He freezed or deleted some system apps which gives the written your problem....
I started this thread cause I can't find the answer anywhere, even on google. My problem is that suddenly I can't open any links when I click on it I get an error saying Webpage not available.
From any app I get the error and I tried to have it open on Stock browser, Chrome, pop up browser. Used to work but out of the blue it doesn't anymore. I tried to clear data, setting cache, history remove and add app back but still not working.
Any clue on how to fix this issue ? Anyone else ?
Thanks
Hello guys. As you saw in the title, gallery app can't recognize these pictures. Let's say I download one picture on chrome. When I go to file manager app is there. When I go to check to gallery but it isn't there. Anyone knows what's the problem? I am in Android MM v20d by the way.

If you're rooted go into your build.prop, find "ro.lge.adoptable_storage" and change the value from false to true. I'm not 100% sure that is going to fix your problem but it might. Either way it won't hurt anything if it doesn't, and can easily be changed back.
Thanks for replying but that's not my problem☺ @rick09 and everyone else, try to download a picture from chrome. When downloaded go to file manager at download folder. The picture is there. Now, go to gallery app. The picture is not there. Sometimes appears of I reboot the phone but I can't reboot all the time. Hope you understand me now☺

Nope bro reboot is just a temporary solution. The problem will appear again. I find out a little workaround that we can do. Uninstall the updates of Google Chrome and use the factory version that came with a phone. Everything is perfect after that. So it's a Chrome problem. Tried other browsers like CM Browser and Firefox and worked well every time. But that's not a solution because I use chrome as my main browser. We have to send them an email I think to fix this.

My wife is experiencing the same problem on her G4 (not rooted). We tried viewing the image in both a gallery app that she installed and also in Photos, and neither one will pick up the new photo in the Downloads folder until after a reboot.
I am experiencing the same problem.
anyone can pass me the lg g4 stock gallery zip for flash please ?
Chrome has a recent update. HOwever, it's the same I think it's a bug from MM that conflicts with Chrome. I don't have other MM device so not sure.
I hope LG will have an update soon.
