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?

Hey folks
I searched for similar topics but nothing helped
When connected on my home wi-fi I can't download or update from PlayStore. But over other Wi-Fi Networks it works, like at friends home or at work. Also over 3G there is no problem.
When updating I get the notification "Update for "the app" could not be downloaded due to an error (927)
I tried the uninstall updates from google play services and data from dl manager method, wipe dalvik method, log out delete google account and relogin with the google account method. Rebooted router, checked for some strange settings... nothing helped.
Anyone got an Idea what could cause this problem?
Thanks

Every time that I've had that issue, here's what I do. I'm aware you've tried about half of the things, but you missed a step lol.
1) Settings>Apps>Running Force Stop Google Play/Anything else tied to it (I usually stop all Google services)
2) Log out of your Google Account
3) Go into your app drawer, tap and drag the Google Play icon to the "info" to open up the info on the app.
4) Clear data and cache for the app, disregard the warning messages
5) Reboot device
6) Log back in
7)????
8) Profit
I'll give it a try, thanks!
Just wanted to pitch in my two cents on my experiences with this problem:
I have a rooted Sprint Note 2 running CM 10.2. I had no problems with the Play Store when I first rooted and got CM up and running. However, I had to flash back to a stock ROM because of GPS issues. When I flashed back to CM (via nandroid restore), Play Store was returning the error: "Error retrieving information from the server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]."
So I deleted Play Store data and restarted. Then, strangely enough, when I logged back in, the Play Store did not have anything in "My Apps" or "Installed Apps," and when I tried to download anything, now it was returning "download error (927)."
So then, I deleted Play Store and Google services data and tried again. No good. So then, I cleared the Play Store and Google Services data, booted into recovery, and flashed gapps again (e.g. a clean install of Play Store). Still got error 927. I then tried switching google accounts on Play Store - still no luck.
As I was still in the office at this point, I gave up and decided to go home to try later. When I came above ground on the subway, I noticed that Play Store was automatically updating some of my apps with no problems.
In conclusion, I have no idea which solution - or combination of solutions - worked, but the problem was solved. Here is a list of every step I took:
1. Deleted Play Store and Google Services data in Apps
2. Reinstalled the Play Store
3. Switched Google Accounts
4. Waited 30 minutes to try again?
Hope this helps for people having this annoying problem.

My problem wont be fixed with any of these as its 927 on all of my devices but sometimes after 11pm it works. and sometimes during a reset of my phone they will automatically download sporadically. Its google servers for me. To bad google's customer service is one of the worst i have seen.
I would have to agree I have the same issue and have had it since December of last year at least. I have an email thread that shows the ongoing issues and they have never fixed a single issue. I can't even load the play store at all now just get connection timed out retry and forget trying all the "fixes" because I have gone through hours and hours and tried every fix that anyone could suggest. For a while I was able to download successfully but not reliably and ONLY ON CELLULAR. Google servers even knew when I was connecting to another phone (using it as a hotspot) and since it was cellular it worked fine. But if I used a real landline wifi it would error every single time. I basically have given up and will not buy another app or even use my android devices and thankfully I have others to use since I work for a phone company but google is absolutely pathetic in this. Google's suggestion is they are working on it and there is nothing else they can do for me. That's fine if it was a few days or maybe a few weeks but this is well over 4 months and they are making products unusable.

Well if not working try reseting the phone
I had the same problem yesterday, and I tried to check the My Apps menu in Playstore, it happened that all apps in "Installed" tab are downloading updates all at the same time. So I cancelled all the process and everything is back to normal.
Update Error
Hi! I'm having the very same problem. Any advice please?
Are the apps you are trying to update on the micro sd. If so try moving them to the device storage before you update.

@reaf
A factory reset should work. However, I disabled my downloads app and the downloads provider and the play store refused to open.
I think that you should try to disable both of them; wipe any data or cache.
Then reboot and enable them and reboot again.
This should solve the problem.
Nexus 7 2013 Marshmallow not play store joy...
My Nexus 7 2013 updated with latest OTA Marshmallow some time ago, have rebooted a couple of times since then, suddenly stopped doing any app updates even though it seemed to think it needed to do so. The downloading progress bar would just go on forever. I finally got fed up and reset cache and data, rebooted and nothing. Then I did a factory reset, but let it try to re-add all my apps, that was taking forever as well and never actually getting anything to complete the installation. Then I did a factory reset without restoring any apps. The tablet runs, I can surf the web, lots of other things, but when I start the play store it apparently is the older version of the play store and it never wants to update itself. When I click the play store build(5.12.7) within play store settings, it says there is a newer version available and will be installed. That hasn't happened for 2 solid days now. I can't get any apps to install at all and the play store is stuck on the older version.
Advice?
P.S. Yes, I have a good WiFi connection.
I am having this issue now on Zenfone 2 version 4.168. Somehow, this started happening after my friends wifi went down. When it came back I still couldn't use it effectively. I could not connect to games or google play store. I tried clear cache and data from services and play store one by one but no solution. I booted to recovery and wiped cache from there still no difference. Factory reset was only solution that worked and that was my last resort. I thought the wifi I was on got hacked or ddosed because thats when issues started. So it has happened again after I did the factory reset. I synced my apps from gmail after I reset and it was fine for at least 4 hours till now I can't connect to game of war and when I go to play store and my apps, I get can't connect to play store.
Hi,
I'm fairly new to the Android rooting community, that said I have been jailbroken on iOS since the days of 1.1.2 and have rooting experience with KitKat. I have a Nexus 5X and after rooting, the phone worked fine. I installed TWRP 3.0.2 and Xposed framework, but for some reason I was unable to get Xposed to work. After a week of no issues with the phone, the Play Store stopped working, and Hangouts failed to send messages. I could send SMS via Messenger app and would receive the replies in Hangouts. I did a factory reset, and now I am unable to do anything. I cannot login to my google account, use the play store. Whenever I do anything I get a message that says:
Couldn't sign in
There was a problem communicating with the google servers.
Try again later.
I've searched the web and the forums for issues like this and can't find anything. I would really appreciate the help. It may be a simple mistake that I made as I am not fully aware of how the Android filesystem works.
Also when I check for updates, it stays that the last time it checked was: 12/31/1969. My clock is set correctly and I am connected to Wifi.
Wow!!! What ROM and gapps are you running?
I haven't seen this since my LG G2 a couple years ago. Hop in date and time in your settings and turn off automatic date and time and manually add it... Unless you're saying its right there.
I would try going to TWRP and wiping.
Wipe/advanced and then check every box except for internal storage. Then hit home and go back to install, choose ROM then gapps then vendor.
Xposed has to be installed as a zip from recovery before you can install/use the apk (in 6.0.1 anyway-use arm64).

Unfortunately I can't use data either since I am unable to activate my project Fi service (since I am not able to make any data connection).
I've resolved this by wiping and installing PureNexus. No idea what was going on with the factory ROM though.

Any chance you changed your Google account password around the time you reset the phone? I think there is some lockout mechanism if they detect password change then factory reset. I believe it is something like 72hour hold.
Hello guys.
two days before i upgraded my phone to 8.0.0.336. It was a big upgrade and no problems on upgrade, before many times the upgrades also no problem.
But now my Google Account no more works. Cannot add new google account, just just blank page or freeze. i already made factory reset and try with google installer to install the google play and play store and chrome and google stuff again, without works.
Also USB connection not working anymore. there is just loading but not recognized on my Mac anymore on USB.
How its this possible? Is this possible to downgrade the phone to the previous version?
Or how can i fix this problems? This cannot be true, that my phone completely not useable after upgrade.
Thanks for help
