KitKat: Play Store Connection Timed out. - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

So I just updated to KitKat with Google Search ver.3.1.8 and Google Play Store ver. 4.4.22. My device is not rooted and is stock.
Every time I try to search for apps in the play store, I always keep getting the 'connection timed out' message. The play store home page shows and I can access apps through the various home menus but I can't search for any apps.
I've cleared caches and even removed/re-added my account but still can't search for apps. Does anybody know what the problem could be and how to fix it?

GN missing from Play Store Website after 4.0.4......

Hey Guys,
I updated to 4.0.4 last night by clearing the data for Google Services Framework and rebooted. Update went smooth. Noticed this morning that when I go to the Play Store website, it does not show the Galaxy Nexus under My Devices. Same thing for Google Dashboard. I am on AT&T in the US. Anyone else have this issue? Able to resolve it?
Thanks
Perhaps someone on custom 4.0.4 rom or updated via normal method I.e. Google push update can check if their devices are missing as well ?
If so it would most likely be an issue with 4.0.4 or Google play store

I fastboot flashed 4.0.4 update to my phone and it shows up in the Play Store. Just installed an app from the web page no problem.
Has to be something with the way you "forced" the update, OP. Try clearing your Play Store cache/data and rebooting, and logging in/out on the browser.

I tried this. Same thing. Galaxy Nexus does not show up in Play Store on the Web. I am able to download apps fine on the device itself. Any other ideas? Anybody else's not showing up in the Play Store?
This might be a dumb question but are you able to get into the playstore via your nexus? If you can perhaps you should try to download something from your phone and that might activate the play store to accepting your phone there.
Same for me, not showing up via the website but am able to download apps with no issue.

So I got my phone showing up in the Play store by signing in the store again. However, the store force closes every time I try to download an app from the web-ui. Anyone else experiencing this?
Downloading from the web seems to be working as normal for me. There was an error (927) bit disappeared after 20 sec.
Yeah, the problem resolved itself on my phone too.
i just cleared the play data sorted it instantly
it seems the problem is not the 4.0.4 update but clearing the Google Services Framework data. I still cannot see the phone on play store but as suggested above I will wait for another 30 min or so to see if it comes up.
PS: still on 4.0.2

This worked for fixing something missing in my device Play Store App, on my Razr M - it has yet to restore my device via the web browser.
Have tried everything else except Factory Reset (trying to avoid this).
Update: A day later my device is back via the web ~ though I suspect it's related to me removing a Secondary Google Account last night.

[Q] DF-BPA-10 Error

I have an AT&T Galaxy SIII. I have searched for this error with no success. I see many posts regarding DF-BPA-# errors but not 10. Mostly DF-BPA-09. If I try and download a free app from the play store I get "Error processing purchase" [DF-BPA-10]. I have tried clearing the data for Google Services Framework and the Google Play Store. Those don't work.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

I got that error once, what I did, was:
*Uninstall the Update for Play
*Force Close Play
*Clear Play Data
*Clear Data for Google Services
Restart into Recovery , Fix Permission
Reboot

This sounds like overkill to me.
I just had this problem recently, because I was trying to install an app the seemed to be restricted to the US IP addresses. I was using DroidVPN and for some reason, when logging into a browser, Google was thinking I was in the Phillipines. Seeing as how I'm in Taiwan and the VPN was routing me through the States (multiple online services confirmed this), it was a little odd. Anyway, I think the problem was a weird mismatch of caching and IP address.
I was able to fix the problem and get the program installed by force quitting Google Play (I have Play Services disabled...but you might want to do this also if you have it enabled). I then cleared the cache, but not the data. I re-opened Google Play, waiting for it to load a little longer than normal, searched for the item again, and installed it without a problem.
Don't it's device specific, and I'm using a Transformer Prime (TF201).
Hope this helps!

[Q] Strange Problem !!

I am in trouble. I have a Note 2. I am not able to update apps via play store. This is happening from yesterday. Though I am able to update Chrome, Facebook, flipboard, dropbox and a couple more apps but I am not able to update any other app for example twitter, whatsapp, astro, google maps, street view for google maps, youtube and all the others. But when open the play store site on my computer, and then update from there then the update happens normally. But I am not able to update from my phone. Tried to reset the play store apps several times, tried factory reset 3 times but the problem persists. Its getting frustrating and I dont have a single clue asto what to do now.
Should go to the service center and get a new software installed ??
Guys please help with your suggestions.

Google play services crashing

I have been happily running google services on my phone (fireos 3.6.8). However, Google released an update to Play Services (version 7.3) yesterday (4/15/2015), which crashes. Has anyone else started getting popups saying "Google Play Services has stopped" constantly? Does anyone have a workaround or does anyone know of a way to keep Play Services from updating automatically? I am able to reinstall 7.0.99, which works, but the app immediately downloads the update and installs itself automatically.
I am having the same problem. Installed the previous version but was automatically updated.
I'm also having the same problem and would like to find a workaround or a temp stop too keep these messages from popping up. It makes the phone nearly unusable.
works okay on 4.6.1
I had the same problem, suddenly play services was crashing continually. Just updated to FireOS 4.6.1, and google play services is no longer causing trouble. On the other hand, Google Play Store just hangs. I can downgrade to an older version that works, but it keeps automatically updating. So pick your poison: On 3.6.8 the services will crash, and on 4.6.1 the store will crash. I think the services crash was worse.
No troubles here with newest Services or Store on 4.6.1.
Thanks. I updated to 4.6.1 and everything is much better.

Try deleting all Google services,play store,account manager and framework and reinstall
Also noticed google play store wont load after update
Also Clash of Clans refused to open. Uninstalled everything google, and now clash opens but wont sync to my google+ account because I cant get google services to actually open, so I've lost all my progress.
All in all, happy its not giving me the stopped working message but irritated google services is acting so crazy. Also cant get gmail to open because of all this.

If you uninstall and go back to the older version of google play services, none of the google apps will run. They REQUIRE the danged update.
Lots of folks using many different phones are having issues with the latest version of Google Services. Might not just be the Fire phone having issues then. My services is still 7.0.99 even after updating the OS. Play store still reports that's the latest version for me so maybe they froze the update. I think I may set that file to read only until this is sorted out.
after using my phone with the updated OS for a few days now, I've also experienced some more issues. some apps don't open or stall on opening such as Redfin and some open, but don't seem to work such as Pandora (opens, but music won't load).
anyone else?
Downloaded and installed this,
Google Play Store 5.4.12
still not working acts like it can't see phone

Same thing here. I uninstalled play store and installed older version 4.1.10. I can then open up the store and update applications, but the next time I open Google auto updates (despite settings not to) it to the latest version that just spins on a white screen. At least this is a work around to keep other apps updated while we wait for a fix.
It looks like Google Play Services 7.3.29 was just released this morning. I have fireos 4.6.1 installed, my play services auto updated, and Play Store and Gmail now appear to work without hanging! Google hangouts still does not let me send messages.
Well, I spoke too soon. Play Store and Gmail open, but they don't refresh properly. That's frustrating.
I am not very technical, I did manage to sideload the play store with someone from this forum's easy to follow directions a few months back. That being said today I am having the issue with google services crashing non stop, can't load gmail and this phone is virtually useless because I have to keep replying 'ok' to the crash...
I'm on 3.6.8 and it says I'm up to date, no new updates to download ... how can I get the newer version of 4.6.1 so I can solve this crashing issue? I'd appreciate it if someone has easy to follow directions for the somewhat technically challenged... (me!)
I'm running it with T-Mobile's network and I'm in the USA.
I don't know what version google play services I use (or how to check for that matter).
Thanks!!

[SOLVED] Google Play Store has stopped !

Hi everyone,
I followed the instructions to install google play store and was enjoying the fire phone with all my fav google apps for 4 months. But I do not know what happened, I constantly get Google Play Services has stopped. I click OK and it doesn't go and the phone is pretty much unusable. I have also tried to do factory reset and again install. The moment i install the basic 4 apps and open google play store for signing up, it starts updating Google Play services and i have the issue again. When i downgraded google play services to a lower version, I wasn't able to use any Google apps.
Has anyone faced similar problem ?? Any solution ?? Any ideas ??
The Hardware is so worth for $200 .... a nice phone but now its troubling me a lot ...
Update:: :thumbup:
Thanks for all your valuable suggestions... When I installed 7.0.99 the problem was fixed. But then it works get auto updated and cause issues. I used to uninstall and re install manually once every 12 hrs....
But received an update Fire OS 4.6.1 and after that the issue for resolved. Latest Google play store works fine. And new OS version has many new features included.. Quite good..

Update the os to the 4.6.1 update available on xda and install the Google apps on that , it works fine for me
I have a similar problem. I am 3.6.8. Did updating to 4.6.1 resolve the issue?
Same issue here. I have tried upgrading to 4.6.1 and reinstalling all the versions of Play Services, Services Framework, Account Manager, and Play Store that allegedly are working for other people, and still broken. Hangouts no longer works (a deal breaker for me), not even Play Store is working correctly. I'm currently stuck in "version hell" with these services. One version of this breaks this version of that, etc etc etc.
Can anyone who still has a functioning Fire Phone please post the point release of all of their services?:
Google Account Manager
Google Play Services
Google Services Framework
Google Play Store
Hangouts
Thank you!!

Thanks all. I have installed the apks for those versions, and for a brief while everything worked, even hangouts. Then Google Play Services AUTOMATICALLY updated itself to 7.3. Now everything is broken again. I have "Do not auto update apps" picked in Google Play. Is no one else having this issue?

Sideload the latest wear app and it should work, Google services seem to work fine just playstore having problems, other Google apps should run Android wear apk http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/android-wear/
I loaded it and when I launch it I get, "Update the Google app on the Play Store. Then open Android Wear again.". If I click Cancel it closes. If I click Ok it opens amazon appstore. Can't get past the message box. Did I miss something?

Got wear side loaded and did the 7.0.99 fix to make play store work. But when I launch wear application it says:
"Update the Google app on the Play Store. Then open Android Wear again."
If I choose Cancel the app closes
If I choose ok the Amazon store loads. I click cancel on it.
Then I have a blue box that I can't get to go away that says,
"To ensure the best voice experience on the Android Wear, please update your Google App" and then a button that says, "Update Your Google App" that will never go away.

My brain is only medium sized so I can only offer half-measures. I get the white screen all the time. But, if I deinstall Play Store then reinstall it, it opens fine...but for only that session. As soon as you close it and try to reopen, white screen is there. So, I now have everything set up the way I want and have deleted Play Store. When I need it again will reinstall. It's an acceptable work-around until Amazon loosens the reigns a bit and learns to play nice with the kids from the Google neighborhood.

Do you happen to have an Android wear device? I want to buy one but if my fire phone won't work with it then I need to get a new phone prior to buying an Android Watch.
Yes. Updating OS solved the issue. :thumbup:
