Play store problem - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

For some reason I can't download or update apps through the play store.
It just says "downloading" but nothing happens.
I've tried to clear data, cache and uninstall update but nothing seems to work. Is anyone facing the same problem??

Try removing and adding your Google account attached to play store

Try to flash another rom:highfive:

Try pressing the 'x' to the right of the download progress bar of whichever app it says is downloading. Also, try pressing the app icon that is downloading to go to its page in the play store. One of these two usually works for me.

Play store

I accidentally uninstalled play store and when I downloaded apk and opened it up it force closed. Can't get to open up. Can somebody help me with this problem. I was messing with it because I couldn't update apps. It would say waiting for network and didn't do anything. I had 4g signal very good and strong.

wait so do you still have the play store app? if so just in app management delete the cache and reset the app.
you need to elaborate a bit more on that post as in i'm not really following everything your saying.
if you are not on a stock rom, i.e. using an AOSP AOKP or CM rom, then just flash the gapps file again. I'd post a link but since I don't know which rom you're on I am not sure which one you need. There is a separate one for GB or ICS.... if you are on a stock rooted rom then just open the zip file for the rom you downloaded and copy the .apk from it to your rom. should be located in the folder /system/app/.
Hope that helps, good luck.
Not on any rom just plain stock. And I don't have play store app period on my phone except for when I googled an apk to download. It doesn't give me an option to clear cache. Just uninstall and force close.

You don't have anything like this under app managements

that is rather strange. I'd almost recommend uninstalling. where did you get the apk from?
No I do not have that under app management.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda app-developers app
I got the apk from a website I can't recall and it was from media share.

so clear this for me, you DON'T have google play store at all in app management? or if you do and just cant do anything with it at all.
If you DON'T have the Google Play Store here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28367656&postcount=12
install that.
I downloaded the apk from link you gave me and I opened it and it let me in but when I went to update one of my apps it stopped working unexpectedly force close. Same thing its been doing since I first installed the play store.

don't just try to install the apk, but make sure you copy it to the system/ apps folder. After that you should probably also reboot to recovery and wipe cache and the dalvik cache , then google play will be hopefully working when you reboot.
Because you don't have the play store , you can dance install the amazon app store from the amazon web page on your phone to work around getting a file manager.
Try using a free app like es file explorer.

an important question, is your phone rooted? If not go to you wherever you said you were able to get to uninstall the place store before. Uninstall it cross your fingers, and reboot.

Try clearing defaults for YouTube app in the phone's settings menu.
Try reinstalling YouTube from the play store.

Yep, thats the first thing I did, clear defaults and re install, some apps seem to open youtube app, but most do not have the option, really strange, all worked fine before update
