Purchased Apps Failing after Google Play Svcs Update - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

I got a recent update to Google Play Services and now it appears that any purchased apps no longer work. I've noticed this on a number of ROMs so it's not a ROM issue.
I've wiped Dalvik/cache and even cleared data/cache for both Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Nothing seems to be making it work.
I wonder if anybody else has experienced this issue and (hopefully) have a fix for it?
Thanks.

Did you try Uninstall Updates from app manager?

Now, THIS is interesting... If I stay on stock kernel, I don't have a problem. As soon as I load KT's kernel (including the latest version), that's when I have a problem. It's only started after the last few CM updates.

I am on a stock rooted T889 I can't log in to play store. I did everything except whipping the phone and doesn't work.

You may want to search and inquire about this in the kernels thread. Maybe others have run into this.

Just fyi, this is the T999 forum, so whatever the cause/fix is here, may or may not help you. Make sure you check in your devices forum as well if you haven't already.

I wrote ktoonzes and sent him some logcats to the problem. Turned out he needed to update the Ramdisk in his kernel. All is good with the world now.

Right on! Thank for the update, and im glad you solved the problem!

Aosp video chat fix?

Is it possible that there isn't a fix for video chats on aosp roms for the EVO. I've tried different versions of decks roms and one from jared. Each have the same results. The furthest I've gotten is voice going through but without video. Is there a flashable zip or something to fix this. I want to use an aosp Rom but can't without this working. I tried Skype and g+ video chat. Both failed.by now there should be some kind of fix. On sense Roms they work but not aosp ones. I've searched Google and xda search but no luck. Someone please help.

Yeah. I loaded them in boot manager. Wiped all. Installed apps by titanium. Could it be kernel wise? I kept the kernel the Rom came with.

Well the kernel idea didn't work. I used taimat 4.1 with the same results. I guess I won't be using aosp roms as a daily until its figured out. Yeah the apps are but for some reason they don't function on the aosp builds. Thanks for your help but if you happen to come across anything please let me know.

Will do, and sorry they're not working for you.
I had a problem for video chatting not working. G+ and Skype didn't work which I needed. So after days of searching for an answer, I finally stumbled across this. It helped for G+ but not for Skype. I didn't confirm an actual chat but my image comes out and doesn't say camera error anymore.
The link has a adb command list but I did it via root explorer. My first try didn't work but on my second try I didn't fix permissions or reboot. Weird but worked for me.
One last advice is that trying to video call in Skype borked the ability to g+ video chat afterwards. A simple reboot fixed it. So here is the link I used:

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] Twitter Notifications

Hey,
I'm on a stock, non rooted, galaxy S3 on jelly bean 4.1.2. Notifications for every other app works except the official twitter app. They just stopped working on their own a few days ago. I've checked the settings, reinstalled the app, restarted my phone, and everything except a hard reset. Anyone know how to fix this?

Yes I tried it. Didn't help, I also cleared the cache to no avail.
Also I tried a new app today, Plume. It wasn't getting any notifications either. This is getting extremely annoying...
Only other things I can think of is to try a factory reset. Backup all you can first though, including your internal sd. Sorry I dont have anything better at this point.
You could try to flash the latest firmware in Odin, but I have a feeling that wont do any good...
Is there a way to clear only dalvik cache without being rooted? If so, thats another thing you can try.

I had the same problem but was fixed with the new twitter app update
I found the fix. At least for me. On a PC go to twitter > settings > apps and revoke access to all the apps. Worked perfectly for me after restarting my phone and everything.

NFL mobile on rooted devices

I figured I would start a thread on this. NFL mobile is no longer working on rooted devices. Disabling root and hide my root are not working for me to get it working (stocked rooted md4 and moar).
Reverting does work still so here is the previous version:

Does your device show NORMAL under STATUS>DEVICE STATUS? I have TPR modded to set status back to NORMAL. NFL app just updated and still works fine.
Updated app doesn't work for me either. Not that it matters espn.com shows all the same info. Now of it was the streaming verison like Verizon, I'd be singing a different tune.
Running most up to date MOAR and device shows normal in the menu.

Yes that is really weird. I saw the notice that the app updated and figured it would be dead, but it came right up with no issue.
Can someone post the updated app? Please. I want to see of it works for me. And how do you get it to work if its for Verizon only?
EDIT: So I thought this was NFL Mobile that is exclusive to Verizon. Not the Game center thing.

Ha so sure enough, I flashed TPR this morning and downloaded the NFL app and it came right up for me. Very strange!!
however looking at the app, it says NFL Mobile from Verizon? Not sure if they all do but it's the same app in the market. I don't have a non-rooted phone to compare it with lol.
It's there a flash able zip that changes status on phone from modified to normal ?

The modified status doesn't seem to be the issue as my moar ROM is set as normal. I'm assuming something else deeper in the ROM.

Apparently not so inexplicably...lol. Now if someone can find out what the app is looking for (logcat?) and why TPR is working someone can make a bypass of the root check. I am pretty sure MOAR uses Supersu like TPR and not Superuser, so it is not that.

[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.

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
