Frustrated with this play store error - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

So I bought this nexus 7 tablet and returned it and bought it again using the office max 20% coupon deal. They did a factory reset because i wanted the 32gb model but when I went to the back they didn't have it. So I just ended doing the price match on the current one I had. When I logged in using my Google account and tried downloading apps it gave me some weird 427 or 920 error codes. I did my research and cleared caches and deleted data for play store, services framework and Google play services. Nothing seems to work, I tried many different methods clearing data/caches on them but no luck. Someone please help its really annoying. On my phone everything downloads fine.

Where did you do the price match at? I tried doing it at Best Buy but they said they don't price match coupons =(

[Q] Noob - HELP Android Market you did not paid for it error

A co worker copied a root explorer apk to my phone, I installed it but my conscious got the best of me as I do not believe in stealing so I decided to buy it but I can't buy it because it says already purchased. Any way to correct this?
Did you try deleting the original apk and then try purchasing? Not sure if it will work or not.

I did and it didn't work. Last time I listen to that co worker.....
Well, you could contact the maker of the app and explain the situation. Maybe pay for it through PayPal or something.

Yeah I would contact the maker of the app and explain what happened.
Honestly ... I didn't pay for root explorer at first either... I got it from someone else as well..BUT I loved it so much I deleted it and paid for the real one... ( I like to do it this way if the creator of the app doesn't offer a trial version)
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
U just need to uninstall it. If its installed to your system then you need to use root explorer to delete data and cache of the apk then delete the apk in system and reboot

nope it's locked in
it's a known issue with Google Tech support for Android Market
it's permanently burned into your account
they have no way to fix it yet
it also happens with other LEGIT Apps from Amazon and Getjar
i opened a complain ticket several days ago
I had the same with an app I had gotten from the Amazon market, but it hasn't been getting updates there, but has on the Android market. Well the Android market had it on sale for ten cents, so I tried to buy it there and have not been successful. I haven't really tried hard to get it though.

Please let me know when and if you get a response AllGamer. Thanks for everyone's input.
Uninstall it, clear all your caches, and go to your application settings & wipe data for the market. That usually works for me.

Does restoring with TB really work? Coz I think when the game is launched it again checks for compatibilty before letting you play. TB backs up just the main APK, not the xtra download of 300 MB or so.

I got the same error on mine, either fresh d/l from Play Store or restored from Titanium. Game is incompatible with the GS3's GPU apparently. :\ I bought it when I had my EVO3D.

oh, its because of the GPU thing huh, so eventhough we install custom rom on this device then the game would still be incompatible with sgs3 then?? hopefully when my nexus 7 arrive, all the paid apps/game will work in it.. >·<

It's using an S4 which is pretty new, they probably haven't got to supporting it yet. Your Nexus 7 without a doubt will work, since Tegra 3 has been out for a while and is in support by a lot of other developers.

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?

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?

[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

Nexus 7 wouldn't download or update certain apps

After using the stock 4.4.3 for a while, i decided to switch back to paranoid. The problem is after flashing it, i couldn't update or download apps like google service, play books, play music and twitter. i have tried going back stock, factory reset, removing google account, wiping data and cache from play store without any success. anybody ever experienced this? the download would be stuck on downloading and eventually led to a 495 error. i have also tried different google account.
anyone?
