Has anyone else had any issues with the Play Store on their Fire TV? I updated the Play Store on mine to a newer version, mainly because every time I tried to download something I'd get stuck with that annoying spinning circle. Now when I go into, I get a message saying it can't connect to the Internet, even though the other apps on my Fire can. I'm even typing this on my Fire through Firefox, after being told by the Play Store there's no connection. Any help would be appreciated. I'm trying to download the game Implosion: Never Lose Hope, and I know I can get it through Aptoid, but the thing stops a little more than half way through giving me an error, forcing me to start it over again from the beginning. Thanks in advance.
Bump, bumpity, bump. Am I the only one who's experienced this? For a while, the Play Store was already acting funky, taking forever to start a download, if it did. At least then it connected, but now I get nothing. I'm not a noob to Android, but little things like this confuse me a bit, especially when comparing the settings on my Fire, S4, and Tab 3 8.0. They all look similar. Oh, well, maybe I missed some small thing that's hiding from me.

Google play store has stopped working on the Fire phone as well.
I can open it but all there is is a white screen with a search bar. And the search bar doesn't pull up results. Is this happening to more users?
I wish I knew how to fix it. As long as I have it installed, even though I can't do anything with it, I can still play the games that require Google Play Store to be installed. The load issues with the Play Store were so annoying, I have been using Aptoid to download games. The downside to using Aptoid, though, is that when you look up something like Implosion: Never Lose Hope, only two pop up; the big one with a 1.1gig download and the smaller one that prompts for a data pack download. The big one stops a little more than half way through and I have to start all over again, and the smaller one never takes me to the download. The game I'm talking about is free, by the way, on the Play Store. It says only the first 6 levels are free and you have to pay to play the rest of the game, but it looks so cool. Anyway, had to get that out. Laters.
same here, first it was just the spinning circle on a white screen
I tried clearing the cache and data for all google relayed apps, rebooted
No dice, now it somehow still knows my Google account, but says it can't connect..

Last night on a different thread, I got a good tip. All we did was delete Google play services on aftv and play store worked again. Don't ask me why...I always assumed it was necessary but apparently not.

I started playing around with another app market I read about in a different thread on this forum called 1 Mobile Market. It looks kind of similar to the Play Store and references it on some of the apps. I haven't downloaded much with it yet except the game Implosion: Never Lose Hope, but it only downloaded a 20 MB apk, kind of like installing Dead Trigger and then the data pack, except the data pack never comes, so the market may be a little hit-or-miss.

Actually, I tried the same. I noticed that both google play service and google play store were updated automatically to some later version, so I uninstalled them and reinstall the old version (4.x), then I can launch google play store. However, only one. The second time, I launch play store, the same white screen showed up. And I can see bot play service and play store were (once again) updated to later version automatically.
I also have problem with youbue app now. It simply does not play video (sound is ok), not sure if it is related or not.
not in my case but i m looking for full version as only two stages can be played in demo version downloaded from store so if anyone can give me correct link or any kind of source of either full version or crack then it would be appreciated and helpful

Recently my wife purchased this inexpensive basic tablet which comes rooted out of the box, with ICS 4.0.3...pretty good overall.
One caveat is it does not come with gapps installed; no Market/Play Store, no gmail, nothing. Amazon Market, GetJar and one other lesser known alternative market instead. So my goal is to get the Market onto the tablet...
Having searched here at XDA I found this thread:
http://http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1621831
Using the method outlined above, I actually had the Market working fine for about 20 minutes, downloaded/updated a few apps, then started getting a "Cannot download due to an error" message on anything I tried to do. I have cleared Market data/cache, selected/re-selected my Google account within the Market settings, tried updating Maps, stood on my head and clucked like a chicken, basically anything I could find here or on the interwebs regarding this problem (its surprisingly common...just Google the "Cannot download due to an error" message). Anyway, no luck.
I went so far as to factory-reset the tab and start over; it didn't delete the Market app actually, and it did work again...for about 20 minutes.
My theory here is that the Market version I am installing via the thread above WORKS, but Google will go ahead and update it OTA within minutes and THAT new version, for whatever reason, does NOT work for me. Or, something is going horribly awry during said update.
I'm posting here in a general forum hoping to get some attention from experienced users who might have run into this issue before (again its widespread across many devices) and might have an idea on what else I can try to get this thing back on its feet.
If more info is needed, please let me know.
Thanks

I am updating my old HTC Incredible to give to a friend who demolished their smart phone and cant updated right now.
I have it currently at 4.08.605.15 ... seems okay.
But when I hit Market, it loads a web page to Google Play rather than opening up the market app...
Not quite sure what is going on.
Note that I currently have the phone on wifi only.. no VZW service...but I don't think that should matter.
UPDATE...
Just finished posting this... and I look at the phone and the New Market (google play) Icon is now there... strange...

Play Store (aka Market) will update itself if you give it half a chance and a data connection, so the change of icon is not surprising. Is it working now?
Yep.... was a bit confusing since I thought the apps had not loaded properly. Guess I never gave it a chance to update until I set it down to post.
Just put the phone through the various apps it comes with... works great... haven't picked it up for sometime since replaced it with my Rezound.
Recall it being the best phone I'd had up to that time.

I am having the same problem. No data connection, just "WIFI". When you said data, is this the only way the play store will update? I just flashed Touch of blue V:2.2 Not trying to hijack but keep the threads together since they are the same issue.
EDIT: I figured it out! After resetting the phone a couple times it worked. You have to be quick and click on the market while looking for the "accept" button to appear. It will only be there for 1 second and if it's not hit in time you will be redirected to the google play website. Hope this might help someone else.
A few months back, I had side-loaded Google apps onto my stock device.
(I'm on 4.6.6.1 now - not sure if this upgrade happened recently...)
I am using it with a Project Fi data-only sim and letting the kid use it for Pokemon Go.
All of a sudden, PoGo won't start (GPS signal not found), and I can't load the Play Store (it just says at a blank white screen). Anyone else have something like this happen, and is there a simple fix?
Me too,today Nov 11 my google maps and play store dont work
same for me since 4 days....
I'm not on stock atm but in the past that exact thing would happen to my Google play if Google sent an update for it's services that somehow broke it on the firephone. Google has made about 3 updates this month so try reinstalling an older version or something and see if it works.
I don't need this when the whole world is falling apart.

All my fire phones were working fine with side loaded framework, google services, play store etc. as explained in the xda forum. They would automatically update and nothing broke except for a brief period a year or so ago which got fixed automatically after a few days. I know Google broke it with an update at that time, but not sure who fixed it -- Amazon or Google.
But now, the same things has happened. With Google Services update a couple of days ago things have come off their moorings.
Youtube, Maps, and the Play store itself are on the blink. Other things which require Play services also are gone, of course.
I am afraid, this time around, Amazon seems to have really given up on the fire phone. So the chances are quite bleak that they would take any trouble to fix this. eg. They don't even support Amazon Music Unlimited, and Audible on their own Fire Phone! Both are Amazon's own products!!
Check out this thread, last couple pages. Got me going again (for now, anyways).

Thanks. That got me going for 36 hours. Then it automatically started updating, and back to square one... Google Play Services has stopped working blah blah blah..
The deicsion to freeze and branch off from a version of Android was a very short-sighted selfish, customers-be-damned decision.
Amazon seems to be a really bad version of Apple without the technical wherewithal to sustain itself.
What a pity. The fire phone itself is a great one.
Is there any chance that a non-Google non-Amazon fix can work at all?

Since we're here, I'm assuming we have our phones rooted. That said, is there some way to just block the updater with a firewall or something similar?
The new google play services update broke all amazon google services in stock fire OS
We have to block the update process or wait for fix in next play services update
Anyone find a way to fix it
Br,

I had this exact same problem and it started last night as well, I tried reinstalling but then I got the "Google Play Services has stopped" message repeatedly, i'll keep looking as I need this fix asap for work

"Wrong!!"
Sorry, the would is still fresh..
No.. none of my phones is rooted. The beauty of this Xda-forum solution of side loading the four files (Account framework, Account Manager, play services, & play store) was that they don't have to be rooted.
Just update framework and Login Component to Version 4.4.4 and delete the data from store and Services and everything should be fine.

Updating all manually to the newest kitkat version does seem to do it (though, I only just did it). Didn't even check the versions as I assumed they auto-updated as well. Should last a bit longer now till that version is too old.
Good catch. Thanks.

Not sure if people are still following this thread but I thought to share. I was able to sideload Amazon music unlimited. It disables native music app but doesn't launch using the same app link. I need to use ES Explorer's App library function to select and launch. Otherwise it works well. Not sure if the audible app would work the same.
Hello all, reached into a drawer to mess with xperia play I want to sell after a few years. I have a 8 gb card in it (learned that it acts silly on usb without that), but the issue is that the Market app seems broken and the phone is seemingly not updating it to google play.
I seem to remember that back in the day my xperia play when reset would after a few minutes/hours of being connected to wifi and connected to a google account would update the Market app to the Play Store and things would work fine. Not this time. I"m worried that if I sell it like this the buyer will be unhappy and come back to me.
Market says:
"attention, a server error has occurred, retry or acancela nd return to the previous screen." Retrying twice puts it back on a load screen which seems to do nothing. Hitting menu button brings up search, my apps, settings and help as normal, help loads up website, settings brings up settings as seemingly normal...
Please help! Device is vanilla, unrooted, never was, and sd card is 8gb and freshly formatted.
Did you find a fix for this? IT was working great until I did a factory reset now I'm stuck with this error I have tried resetting again. Clearing data and catch it doesn't do anything.

Sadly no, no solution. I sold the phone and the buyer has left me positive feedback, I assume his intention was to go full out and put on a CFW to what he wanted with it. Someone on reddit suggested that gingerbread may to be too old to receive updates now and that all xperia plays might be in the same boat.
As for me, I'm using an Nvidia Shield, Tuvva gamepad and GP7 these days. I do miss the Xperia Play's portability and other strengths. If I could have a xperia play with updated specs and a 5 inch or bigger screen I would buy it on launch day.
I downloaded a Play Store apk and installed that and it automatically updates the market to Play store. Hope that helps.
It was suggested I come over here and see what's going on. I've got a 5t with Oxygen.
I've never been able to get Android Auto to load, once. It always says "Something went wrong - Google Play services doesn't' seem to be working right now."
I can't Force Stop the Google Play services, or deactivate it. I've cleared my cache. I don't have a Android Device Management App installed either.
I enrolled and updated to the Google Play services Beta, but haven't still can't force stop it either.
Where do I go from here?
I don't know about this issue.
But I can say I use Android auto daily in my car and have no issues.
I have a Volkswagen caddy 2017 and use ob3
I sideloaded the app because it is not officially released in my country. I use version 3.0.
@dashbarron,
I have the exact same problem . I've also gone the play services beta route with no joy. I've tried literally every possible solution I've come across on the web, still no joy. I can't get past this.
Did you ever get AA to work? How?
Thanks!

I don't know if you have used Android auto before, so maybe you really like it and my advise maybe of no use to you. But while it is good to use, I soon reverted back to using split screen, top half for nav and bottom half to easily switch between music or radio or whatever else you want, even set up a YouTube video before you get going if it's something that doesn't require your focus on it, with gestures it's safer than messing around with the complicated controls in my car! And I have the plug in version of Android auto built into the car, I literally only plug it in when I have my daughter's on board so they can call out ok Google for whatever tune they want on. Anyway that's how I roll when driving and I'm driving all day everyday, hope maybe I saved u some time getting it working
