[Q] Google Play Store - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a bit of a strange issue! I am using the preinstalled OS 4.1.2 and when i got it, everything worked fine. I bought this in the UK before christmas and i live in ireland. I was asked to do an update, which i went through - at one point, it stated that it was not completed sucessfully (can't remember the message exactly) but when i left it work away, it completed and restarted as normal. Since this point, i cannot use Google Play Store. I get error 406 whenever i try to install anything new or do an update of any application. I have ruled out an issue with the gmail account as it works on other android devices. I even setup a new one to see if this was the issue but it made no difference.I cleared the cache on the tablet - no difference. I did a reset of the tablet through the Settings - no difference. I booted to the boot menu and did a factory reset - no difference. I tried downloading apk files using the web browser and although i can browse the internet, when the file downloads - i get "cannot open file" I have checked and checked the box for Unknown Sources in Security - no difference. One thing i have noticed is that if i look at the Google Play application, it states 0.00KB for its size which is obviously not right but i can do nothing with it.No option to clear cache on Google Play. I tried alternatives to Google Play but again, i cannot open the files. I have now tried rooting the tablet which has worked but i have the same issue. Any ideas on how to resolve this?

Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is that i can't download anything from the Play Store and if i download the apk using the browser, when it try to open it, it says "cannot open file"

Go my files then sd card then download and open it from there

I'm having a similar problem. After the 2.33 update, it FCs when I chose "My apps". I tried downgrading to several different versions, cleared data/cache, wiped cache/dalvik, but no joy. Now, after I press "accept" on initial start, it FCs. Any help?
Thanks.

Update: I used TiBu, wiped everything again, still no joy. I ended up deleting the Market app from Manage Apps. This left the /system/apps version of Market intact, but unavailable to launch. I rebooted the phone, the /system/apps Market became available in my apps list, and it worked. It then automatically updated to 2.33 again and now all is well.
I had similar problem with my htc evo with cm7 rom after flashing a google add on. As soon as you clicked maket it would try to open but then close right away,I tryed to wipe market data didnt work. Did as you sudgested and wiped catch and dalvik catch and reinstalled rom and the previous add on and no problems after that. Thanks
Question I already had a add on flashed after installing cm7 and tryed flashing another one over the other add on. Is that why I had problems with market?
The main reson I tryed flashing the second add on was After flashing the first one I did'nt have a voicemail app. The voice mails would come in a text with a link to hear the message.
Does anyone know a way to get my voice mail back? Thanks

Insufficient Storage Google Play Store

Running on my AT&T rooted Galaxy S3:
Andriod 4.0.4
Kernel Version 3.0.8
Build: Diet ICS v7.11.12
Several weeks, no issues.
This morning I went to install 2 updates and each update said "Insufficient Storage".
I can not download any updates or new apps without getting this error.
If I uninstall an app, I can not re-install it without getting the same error "Insufficient Storage".
I have cleared the cache and data under Google play store app info
I have gone into recovery mode, cleared cache and dalvik cache.
Nothing is working.
Any help would be much appreciated
This seems to be happening a lot. Especially with custom ROMs. This used to happen to me but when I had the app installed on my sd card...

Yeah, the same happens on my NS4G but I've found that leaving the Play Store app pulling down the notification bar while it's updating and leaving the screen on helps. It sometimes takes 2 or 3 tries but it usually works eventually.

Same thing happened to me. Get root explorer, go to /app/data then look for files with the name of the app and a little orange shield on it, delete it and your good to go

It has something to do with stored ODEX file (i am not sure what it means). One solution I found is to install lucky patcher app and just open it. It will delete the unused ODEX files and you wont see the issue again.
Click on thanks if this resolves your issue!

This worked for me. Thanks.
I never found the .ODEX file, but in /data/app with ES File Explorer I found the .apk of the program and just deleted that. I then went and updated the app and it let me download and install this time. Hope that helps anyone else having this issue!
I was having similar issues with tons of apps. Eventually I just moved half of the garbage to the SD and deleted a bunch of bloatware with Titanium Backup. After a nice solid battery pull everything updates fine now.

Mildwild and Google Play Store

Hi all
I've installed Mildwild on my desire and I'm loving the rom.
Only problem is that the play store app crashes every time, think its a force close error but it disappears so fast I can't see it properly.
Any ideas?
Have tried some modded play store apks and the original a couple of times. When I install them they work for a few minutes then the error occurs again.
Its a strange one and I'm stumped!

Have you tried uninstalling updates and clearing the cache? This method worked for me.

Which cache would I be clearing here?
Will uninstall everything related to play store and try again.
Thanks again.

By uninstalling updates I meant for the Google play app not the apps downloaded from the play store. Clear the cache and uninstall updates through Settings > Applications > Manage applications ( or something similar ) and tap Google play.

Check the attached images if you need help. Currently I'm running ICS but it should be similar.

Hey, I've got the exact same problem with the current MildWild 4.4.
I'm doing a completely fresh install, partitioned the sdcard with 4ext (newest version), did the factory reset + cache/dalvik wipe, flashed MildWild, linked my google account..aaaaaaaand.. play store crashes. Undoing the update + deleting cache didn't help, sadly.
I've read about installing the 3.7.11 version and downloaded it, but I can't just install it regularly and am not sure how to do it via adb or anything :/
edit: Nevermind, got it. Turns out root explorer isn't as scary as i thought

Can't download apps from the Play Store.

So after I wiped data from my Desire, I found that the play store has stopped working. I can still search for apps and browse, but when I try to download any app, it just gets stuck at the "downloading" stage (doesn't even show progress, only shows the little grayed out bar). I also found that some apps that need internet connection work (Browser, Google Talk, some games and even other alternative markets like Aptoide and AppBrain work fine) while others don't (Facebook, Email, most games that require internet connection).
I have a rooted HTC Desire GMS with CyanogenMod-7.2.0.1-bravo. Android 2.3.7.
Here're the things I tried:
Wiped sd-ext from recovery mode. After that I tried downloading an app from the play store and it worked. The next day I tried downloading another app and it didn't work anymore. I tried formatting the sd-ext several times again, this time it didn't help.
Formatted all data, and formatted the SD card. Wiped cache, dalvik cache and fixed permissions. Didn't work.
Formatted all data again, and re-installed CyanogenMod 7.2.0.1. Didn't work either.
I don't really know what to do anymore, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Does it do the same on other ROMs?

Don't know, I haven't tried any other ROMs.
Try a mildwild rom. If it still doesn't work, you have a wi-fi problem.

Tried it just now, but to no avail. It's the same as before.

[Q] play store no connection problem

Every time I open the play store I get an error that says no connection. I've tried changing the date and time, clearing data on play store and Google services, tried deleting the app and it's file then wipe cache/dav then re installing and still not working. Anyone have any suggestions, I'm running the newest jedi rom.

I was having that same issue with that same thing. :banghead:
Anyhow I when into recovery, wiped C/d cache 2x each! Then reboot, install app
http://d-h.st/nNi
You also need to double check that the app is in your SYSTEM. With root explr, then you can go back into recovery and wipe both cache again. For the hell of it make sure it's clean!! lol
Try and open it see if it works??
Mine actually didn't til after I then went into too root explorer. Went into system, app, locate the file. Click on it the hit install,, everything is good now. Don't know why it worked that way but it did.
Tried this other (inverted) one I found and it installed right over the other one with no problems. http://d-h.st/lj8
And it's a lil quicker to me.
