Strange play store... - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Since I'm not using it anymore, I'm letting my mother use my galaxy nexus (since she has an ancient samsung slider phone).
I've done a full factory reset on the phone, ran through setup using her google account...
But straight away I've noticed there's no system apps listed in "my apps" for the play store...which i find very strange really...I know there should be numerous updates available since I re-flashed the 4.3 stock system image...
Can't quite figure out why the play store isnt listing system apps/updates for said apps?
Thanks if anybody knows...

Stock ET4G - Google Maps Update Error

Hi all, I've got a stock Epic 4G Touch and I've got a strange issue updating Google Maps.
Recently I noticed that the number of apps listed in the "My Apps" section of the play store dropped by a few without my uninstalling any. I no longer see Google Maps in the list, for example.
I'm now trying to update Google Maps from 6.4.0 to 6.5.0, but the update didn't happen automatically, as it should have, it doesn't show as an available update in the Play store, and when I navigate to it in the Play store and try to update manually, I get an error: "Your order is processing, your item will be available in a few minutes." After pressing OK nothing happens.
Thoughts?
Thanks!
I believe it's the Google Play store issue. It happened to lots of people and even I experienced the same thing a couple of days ago but now everything is fine except the 'connection time out' thing to see the all apps instead of installed from my phone.
Uninstall maps I used titanium back up for that. Then I went to the play store on the browser and installed the latest version of maps.
Yea, the play store is acting funny. It will work itself out. Earlier today is showed that I had no apps installed. I went back in a few minutes ago and he were all there. Give it time

Google doesn't have the capability to handle the market or Android users! I hope someone else take over this role!
Run the install from Play on your desktop. Finally worked for me after 2 days of trying on my phone.
this "new" market is one of the most horrible pieces of software to hit the Android community..Google needs to do something to fix it; why they didn't just leave the older market intact is beyond me..this is a horrible DOWNGRADE..

Google Play Store Error over Wifi

I’ve had my Epic 4G since August of last year. I ended service with Sprint in the following month and bought the Epic 4G outright to use as an Android device. So I have no data plan on it, I can only go online and download things if there is a wifi connection present. Since I have no home wifi, that means a lot of trips to McDonald’s and Starbucks and the local library. The phone I use to make calls is a cheapo phone on Cricket’s network.
Anyway, a couple of weeks ago I rooted my phone using QBKing’s tutorial video on Youtube. I am now on Gingerbread.FC09. Everything seemed to work fine. I went to a wifi spot, downloaded Titanium Backup from the Google Play store, everything still worked. I used Titanium Backup to delete four things: Amazon MP3, Nascar, Sprint Football, and Sprint TV & Movies. Nothing else. After that deletion, however, when I try to go to the Google Play Store on a wifi connection, it closes. Not force closes, just…opens than closes as if it was never open in the first place.
I have tried:
-talking to QBKing himself about it (he can’t figure it out either)
-clearing the partition
-clearing the Delvik cache
-finding the most recent version of Google Play Store, downloading it to my phone via mass storage, and installing it by double clicking the apk
-Uninstalling updates for Google Play Store (“clear cache” and “clear data” is always greyed out)
-Deleting Titanium Backup
None of these actions have had any effect. I can still surf the net normally, even upload videos to Youtube. Nothing has been effected except my ability to open Play Store. I even get update notifications that I have apps that need updating.
I have searched xda and while I have found threads with similar issues, none for the Epic 4G. I am not sure if I should take an answer I saw for a completely different phone by a completely different maker and apply it to mine. Plus I wonder if my problem is unique given that I have a phone with no service.
Other info that might help:
-I have Google Services Framework Version 2.3.7. I can’t seem to find a more recent version of that.
-Kernel Version is 2.6.35.7
-No roms, at all, I’ve been too focused on trying to get Google Play Store to work again to even think about getting and flashing roms.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Try removing your Google account and re-adding it.

Okay...I went through Accounts and Sync and selected the google account under Manage accounts. Selected remove account, got the warning if I really want to delete it, I selected remove account...then got a popup saying I can only remove this account by resetting the phone to factory defaults.
I've already backed up my phone through clockwork (ate up a bit of my microSD card but its there). So if the only way to delete my Google account is to factory reset my phone, I can get it all back in recovery? But won't it also "recover" the same problem?

Set up another google account, then delete your original one, then set it back up... it will only let you delete your google account if you have more than one set up....
I'm in your shoes as I use my non-activated Epic 4G over WIFI. Do yourself a favor and reflash with Cyanogenmod 9 release ROM and apps:

My Epic 4G has become great to awesome after doing so and Google Play works fine.

Okay, I just went to the local McD's for wifi, set up another Google account, tried to delete the old one...and it gave me the same warning that I have to reset the phone to factory settings to do this. Apparently the first Google account is connected to too many things to just delete it.

I believe you need to clear the data/cache from the Google account manager app in order for it to let you delete that account.
It's one of the google apps anyways. Can't remember exactly which one at the moment.

Okay I have the cyanogenmod saved to my sd card, but I can't seem to download the gapps zip from your link nor from google searches. I'll give it a try when I can. I am kind of hesitant to do this, but...I've already backed up everything in recovery plus I reinstalled Titanium Backup and backed up my apps, so...I should be good to go whenever the gapps zip becomes available. For now I am going to try and figure out what app GuidingArrow is talking about.
Okay, I found a functioning gapps from the official wiki site. So I have flashed my phone following, again, a QBKing tutorial. This Cyanogenmod seems pretty cool. My camera seems to be downgraded, but other than that, nice. I am about to go to a McD's and...hope for the best regarding the Google Play store.
Problem Solved
When I flashed it to Cyanogenmod 9, I soft bricked my phone by trying to install backup (oops). So, I used Odin to restore to stock then rerooted.
Turns out the problem all along was...nothing was mentioned in the vid I saw about flashing the gapps right after flashing the rom. But It was mentioned in the video for flashing to Cyanogenmod 9, so when I restored to stock and then rerooted I flashed gapps this time. And voila, I have the Google Play Store working again. I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps, readded my Google account, and everything is fine and dandy again.
The only thing is, I have decided not to go back to Cyanogenmod 9 for now, not without more research. One of the most important features on the Epic 4G (to me anyway), is the camera, and when I was briefly on Cyanogenmod 9 before I soft bricked my phone, the camera seemed...downgraded, to have less features than it has now. Just going to do more research on that end before flashing it again.

Pre-Installed apps not showing in Google Play after reset?

I decided that after years with the same gmail account, it had become too cluttered and too many people had my email and I just wanted a fresh start.
So, I created a fresh, new gmail account and I did a factory data reset on my phone.
But now, all the pre-installed apps won't show up in the Google Play store so I can not update them. If I type in the name of an app that is pre-installed, it shows "Update" but when I go to "my apps" there are no apps there, so I can't update them all. I also have "auto update" on, but nothing is updating.
What could cause this and is there a way I can fix it? Even though I don't use all of the pre-installed apps, I still want everything up to date.

can you install apps from the pc on the new gmail? if not, what happens when you try that from the old one?
Same Issue
I have this exact issue. Purchased a used phone. It was delivered in mint condition and had been factory reset. So I set it up as it was new. However, the pre-installed apps do not show up in "My Apps". So, I cannot "Update all" and auto update does not include those apps.
If I run a search for any pre-installed app it gives the option to update. Once updated, the app shows in "My Apps" like normal. All new downloaded apps show up in "My Apps" as normal.
It's like the pre-installed apps are synced to a different account... Please help
They will show up. It takes a few minutes or so. I just got the HTC one, traded my s4 for it (best decision ever!) and it took a while

"app" could not be downloaded due to an error (920)

I just booted my brand new 2014 note and when the home screen finally showed up the notification bar was full of warning sign/exclamation marks each mentioning a different app saying "<app name>" could not be downloaded due to an error (920)".
I've bought well over a dozen Android devices through the years and they've all downloaded my set of apps just fine. Some of the apps that get downloaded cannot be found on the app store any more as the developer packed up and left, but they still download when I get a new device.
But, this error essentially means that none of my initial download of apps (which is the only way I get some of my legacy apps) didn't happen.
Any thoughts on troubleshooting this? I didn't find any references to the problem in the Note2014 forums.
Also, if I can get the downloads to work, any thoughts on triggering it to do the "brand new device download" again?
FWIW, I did try a factory reset once the new system update downloaded to see if it would download the apps with the new OTA version of the play store, but the same thing happened all over again...
Note that the standard solutions you find on the web include removing your Google account and adding it back and force stopping the Google Play Store and then clearing its data and cache.
I recreated the account about 4 times and cleared the data and cache about 15 or so times and one of those times it managed to download just updates for the pre-installed apps, leaving me with none of the 100 or so apps I usually have. I then tried recreating the account and clearing the data again a few times, but it stubbornly refused to believe it had any more work to do.
Then I did another Factory Reset after all of that, hoping that the gremlins were asleep, but it came back up to the notification list full of hundreds of 920 errors. I also found a thread on the web about someone asking about retriggering the initial download of all of the apps and nobody could find a solution - they eventually gave up and just manually reinstalled all of the apps. That isn't really a good solution for the hundreds of apps that I typically carry and isn't even possible for the 5 or 6 that are no longer searchable on the Play Store (they must be downloaded in that initial download or they won't appear. I can get their 920 notification errors, but I can't use that to trigger another download of the original app...
I've had the same issue. Usually, I just turn the device off for a bit, turn it back on and it's fine. It seems to be an odd issue. If it lasts longer than a day I'd try the factory reset, not right away however.
The problem is you have more than 5 devices attached to your android play store account. Go into google play and remove some of your older devices.

That sounds like the most knowledgeable advice so far, but I'm not sure how to follow it. I found where my devices are listed in the play store (play.google.com => gear icon => settings) and I do have more than 5 devices (8 currently listed including the new 2014 Note) on the account, but...
- there is no way to remove them. All I can do is hide them (visibility).
- There were only 4 total that weren't hidden, including the new Note.
So, if this is an issue of more than 5 visible devices, I didn't even have 5 visible with the new tablet. If it's an issue of deleting them from the account, there is no option for that (only changing their name and a checkbox for visibility).
All of them have a "last used" date within the last couple of years. Perhaps there is a 2 year timeout?
I just did a factory reset after updating the visibilities in my Google Play account. Unfortunately, I think Google has shifted from "downloading the apps from your old devices" to "Oh, hey, we recognize that device - it was the one you didn't download any apps to, right?" and so now I'll never be able to get that factory fresh download unless someone knows the magic to make Google treat it like a brand new device.
Sorry I wasnt clear. If you make then not visible, thats the same as deleting it. If you make the note not visible, then google should see it as a new device. Are you sure you're checking the auto reload option when you are setting up the note?

I had downloaded a bunch of apps last night (I was up to the F's by scanning the app list on my old tablet), but this was worth an experiment to try.
I had already unchecked all of the devices other than my Notes and my phone, so I unchecked the tick mark next to the new unnamed device and factory reset my 2014 Note. It came back up and managed to start installing apps without errors - woohoo!
But, it only reinstalled the apps that I had been busy downloading last night. Perhaps I mucked it up when I started downloading apps and so now it remembers my device even if it was unchecked?
I found a few apps that aren't "searchable" by going to the "All" tab in the list of "My Apps" in Google Play Store. One of them worked, but another (the Doodle Android app for the Doodle.com service) refuses to install. That may be due to the fact that they have modified the app to be "not compatible with any of your devices". The version installed on my old Note gets an error on startup, so they may have manually sabotaged it (and given that they now have a $3 pay app, I can imagine why). If I remember my device install history I seem to recall that the initial app install could install older versions of apps that aren't accessible from the Play Store (and I relied on that in the past to avoid updates that broke things when I got a new device) so it might have been able to install the version that I last installed on my old Note, but in this case it probably wouldn't have worked out of the box.
Still, at least some of the withdrawn apps are still visible in the "All apps" tab...
Probably just version conflicts. I have a lot of apps I paid for that wont show up and install on my note 10.1. Even some apps that work on my note3 wont be compatible with the 10.1. Your 'all apps' should always show you the apps you paid for and workable. As for pulled or discontinued apps, try finding the apk and side loading them.

I assume you are referring to my example of the Doodle app that won't install?
The apps that failed to download when I did my most recent factory reset are the ones that I didn't manually install last night. It was 1:1 as far as downloading only those apps (A-F) that I had downloaded last night and none of the others. It looks like the system has permanently remembered the app set for my new device whether or not I uncheck it from my list of active Google Play devices...
I see.. I guess you'll just have to go to 'my apps' and install manually one by one. Have fun with your note. It's an amazing device!

grrr. many of my games, including crystal defenders and need for speed most wanted are telling me i have to buy the app or the device isn't authorized for this game. never had this problem before, just using my google play account as usual. advice?
Google playstore probably detected that you had too many devices using the same play account. Dont think theres a work around
I had this on my first one..
Then it filled up the memory with hardly any app installed and kept boot-looping. Same results after restoring so I returned it and bought a new one. No more issues! I didn't restore backups from Google though.
For me Method 1 worked
Here are couple of fixes for the infamous error 920 or “App could not be downloaded due to an error 920” :
Method 1:
Turn your wi-fi off
Turn your wi-fi on
Run Google Play Store and install or update the app
Method 2:
Go to settings>>Accounts>> Delete your Google account synced with Google Play.
Restart Phone and add your Google account back in the settings. Alternately, add a different Google account.
Run Google Play Store and download your app.
Method 3:
Go to settings >> Apps >> Open “All” tab
Find and click Google Play Store >>Clear Cache and Clear Data
Now from the same tab uninstall Google Play Store Updates
Restart your phone, open Google Play Store and install the app
What worked for me
1.First Remove your google account from the device
Settings -- Accounts -- Google -- (select your email account) -- Remove
2.Then clean cache and data of Google Play store
Settings -- Application Manager -- Google play store -- remove cache, remove data, force stop (in that order)
3.Then turn off for 15 seconds
4.Add your account again on Google accounts
Settings -- Accounts -- Google -- (sign in with your account)
It worked well after that!
And I tried many other options before without it working.
As quick commercial if anyone is having problems with the stupid google update that makes the tablet not access properly the SD Card, I just found an app that amazingly fixed it with one click. Only for rooted users:
NextApp SDfix
Works fast and after a reboot you can use your SD card again!

Google Play Error 963

Been searching a solution with no luck. When I try to update, or download new apps, I get an error for the google play store saying "APP NAME" could not be downloaded due to an error. (963). I have tried removing my google account and clearing cache in TWRP then readding my google account, but it still doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm in the same boat with no real solution yet,... I'm working on it though. Tried clearing cache and reinstalling rom to no avail.
If you say you reflashed and it still didn't work try a full format. The problem could also lie in your account. Try your account in another phone (if available) or try creating a new account. Also it's strange that no mention of this error (963) can be found anywhere
I just started getting this error very annoying. Running stock, not rooted, htc one m8
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I'm having same issue I can't download or update from the play store. I'm on an htc one m8 rooted s off running latest bad boyz rom. I never had the problem before til after I updated the Rom.
I'm getting this error too.
Is there any fix for that ?
I've also been getting this silly error lately. Seems that the connection keeps dropping the whole time and it constantly re-downloads the app/update. Just to have it throw out the error after a while.
I've got the updates to download eventually, after uninstalling the Google Play updates form apps in settings. After that it removed the generic Google Play icon from desktop/app drawer and replaced it with vendor.android.etcetc. At which point I could download the update fine but as soon as it started to install the entire Google Play crashed. It did this 3 times though, afterwards it installed the update fine and for some reason even the "Google Play" icon is back at homescreen/app drawer.
Don't know if it's a feasible solution but it worked for me to do updates. Seems like only HTC One m8 specific problem for now? I ran the updates at the same time from 4 devices(Galaxy S6 Edge, Note 10.1 tablet and a local carrier made android phone(cheapy in other words)). It worked on all of them except the HTC One M8.

You had the problem on 4 devices with the same Google account connected?? Have you tried switching to another Google account? Or have two added and changing the account?
I had this last night. I fixed it by uninstalling the updates to Play Store and clearing it's data/cache.
As an aside I had updated Play Store from APKMIRROR prior to this problem.

No, I said it seems like it might only be a HTC One M8 specific problem. I ran the same update on 4 devices(For a game) and the only one that had the error was my HTC One M8, all of the other devices updated all their various updates without any problems at all.
4 Devices, 4 different Google accounts. Only the M8 had error when updating.
Though by the looks of the post by Chris it seems that uninstalling the Google Playstore updates worked for him as well. Don't know if it might be a problem that crept in with the latest updates to M8 devices for Play store, but even if that is the case then I don't know why there aren't more people complaining about the same issue.
Just started having this particular problem as well. Had a similar issue earlier on but with a different error code and if I restarted my phone, I could download apps again no problem. Now, the only way for me to fix the problem is by uninstalling the updates to the Play Store. Wonder what the issue is.
Just trouble shooting here but, what kind of apps has everyone been having this problem with? I've only tried to download games recently and continue to have this problem. Every now and then one works. Gonna try some other kind of apps now and report back.
I'm also having trouble with the same error code. :/ I uninstalled an app and tried to reinstall it and this error code came up. I'm pretty sure last night several apps updated just fine though, so it's very strange. I'm just trying to download a free game that I haven't really had any trouble with before. I'm also on a m8. Clearing the search history and turning off WiFi didn't work.
Sorry to sound like a noob, but a couple people mentioned uninstalling the latest Google play store update but I have no idea how to go about doing this. Any help with that would be appreciated.
Update: Got it working again. I uninstalled the latest play store updates, opened it back up, got a different error code (906). Cleared the cache, uninstalled, opened back up and then it worked. Don't really know why.
Hi,
I had the same problem, too with my HTC One M8 (on Android Revolution HD 41.0). Uninstalling the Play Store Updates eventually worked for me. Though, for some reason I had to uninstall them twice. The reason could have been that at the first time, I had stopped the Play Store App previous to uninstalling the updates (only at the second time, when I didn't stop the app beforehand, a seperate uninstalling screen popped up).
Cheers
Update: It seems that it only worked for a short time. I could only install one app(which definetly didn't work beforehand) after about 15 minutes I tried to install another app which didn't work; however, when I repeatedly uninstalled the Play Store updates I could install the second app as well. Maybe the Play Store silently installed some updates in the meantime!? :/
Does anyone know how to prevent the Play Store from installing updates of itself automatically until the whole issue is fixed?
I have the same problem from today ,witch I think come from that I updated Google Play Service.
My fix
The way I fixed it was by deleting the files already downloaded (they accumulate after failed download to big amounts of memory) in ''HTC One_M8\Internal storage\Android\obb'' (you might want to delete updates from your Play Store app as well just in case).
name of the folder you want to delete might be hard to find but easy way to find it is by searching for the name of the publisher of the app you are trying to delete which you can find in play store on the app's page
hope it helps, good luck
I've uninstallled Google play store updates and cleared the cache, it is now fixed
error 936
I thing I found the problem. Some app put information on SD card. I remove the app information on SD card (move dack to internal Memory). Then I download the update. The update OK,no problem.

You are absolutely right!
I have experienced this weird issue after moving to SD a lot of apps. So to sort it out it is necessary to uninstall and then install the each app from the playstore or just move them back to the internal storage before updating.
