HELP!!! - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 that I rooted several months ago. When I rooted it, I removed bluetooth drivers on accident. Today, I decided to backup all my data to my SD Card and factory reset it. And I did. That's where **** went downhill. Upon the tablet rebooting, I discovered that I cannot download anything in Google Play (mind you, SD Card has not been put back in since I removed it before factory reset). Now I have spent 8 hours googling how to fix it and everything I have done does not work. I have removed the google account, rebooted, and re-added the account (exactly 21 times now), I have factory reset it a dozen times, I have cleared all data and cache (in system settings for the apps (Google Play and Google Play Services) along with in the tablet's boot settings as well. I have logged into my account on a computer and removed the tablet and re-added it. I have tried downloading it from Chrome and it won't download at all. I even went as far as to un-root the tablet and do everything over again, step by agonizing step. And no. Not. A. God. Damn. Thing. Has. Worked. By now I am extremely pissed and I would love to get this stupid problem fixed. I would greatly appreciate any and all help sent my way.

The time and date is set correctly and the Root Explorer didn't work. Thank you for your reply though.

[Q] Android Market error -101

What's going on here? Anyone got any ideas? I click download or update and it says "download error -101". I've wiped market cache, data, and i've downloaded the latest market.apk and installed it and it's made no difference. When i use my other gmail account it works every time though, which isn't much use when i want to update my paid apps and games :/
I get the same thing for the last couple of days. I was trying a new rom and I have a lot of apps. After loading the new rom it started installing the apps but after some were done, the rest give me this error. I've tried everything on the phone and then loaded a different rom but I'm getting the same error now right away.
I've heard that it may have to do with amount you download from Market in a specific period, has anyone been able to confirm this?
Well, it seems that there is a time based quota, I waited a day and everything loaded up just fine.
Yeah all is good now. Must be a time quota like you said. How you enjoying the Gnex anyway? I'm in love with mine

How long were u out for? mines been down for 5 days with error 101, but i can download market apps if i restart my my phone. it will work for about 10 minutes after a restart before the error comes back....
Strange, mines started showing the error again. I just flashed a new rom so maybe its reset or something. But it still let's me download from my alternate Gmail.

Same issue
Got the same issue its really annoying i hope it starts working before the drop the price of modern combat 3
I had the same problem, here is what I did!
Here is what I did:
*********************************************
1. Settings
2. Personal: Accounts and Sync
3. Selected my Google account
4. Once within my Google account, clicking on the context menu/settings menu I selected "Remove Account"
5. Once the account was removed it prompted and asked for a new account, I entered the credentials for the same account and then rebooted
6. Once it rebooted I went to the Market, accepted the EULA and downloaded Google Gesture (I wanted to try a free app first) without any issues!
FYI - the account I deleted was fine, there were no issues in how it showed up but deleted it anyway.
*********************************************
I hope this helps people out! Good luck!
Anything new?

Tried that and it worked for downloading maybe three apps but now it is back to giving me the 101 error again. This started to happen after I went from a yakjuxw build to yakju maybe that has something to do with it. I am running stock 4.0.2, rooted and unlocked bootloader.
This worked
Removing and adding the account worked! Thanks!
me too....so a can wait for minute....
Im experiencing this also, I tried removing my account, rebooting and adding it again and it didnt work. Its something with the account. I added my account to my wifes razr and same thing, no apps would load. Added hers to my phone and her apps loaded fine. I cant even push apps from online market to my phone.
Instead of deleteing the account. I tried syncing the account.
It worked.
1/2 the time without a reboot.
I have a Galaxy Note and the same problem with Market (error -101).
I tried to remove the Google account but it does not work. I also reset phone to factory mode and re-installed everything but still does not work
I have no clue any more what to do.
Mine has started showing the error again today. No new rom or installing lots of apps. Just happened. Really pissing me off now.

[Q] Incredible reinstall CM7.2, gapps issue, and Force Close problems

I have been very thankful for CM7.2 and my rooted Droid Incredible. Its been a great phone for me and saved me tons of money by staying a great device to use. However I recently ran into some issues that made me think I needed to do a factory reset, wipe, and reinstall CM 7.2 and google apps.
So I downloaded the CM 7.2 for droid Inc and the gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip file. I did a factory reset from within the phone privacy settings and rebooted into recovery using Rom Manager. I then wipe the data and cache and installed CM 7.2 and then the google apps. After a restart though, the google apps had not installed and I got multiple force closes. In addition, all the google accounts were still saved which I didn't expect since I had done a factory reset and wiped all the data. Even the Wifi passwords were still saved because I didn't have to enter any to access wifi. Some apps were still installed as well like Contacts +. So it seems like something didn't go right with the install.
If I installed gmail, google voice, etc from Google Play store on my phone, then I would get a Package Installer error and it would force close causing the app to not install. I could install apps to my phone using the Google Play store website on a computer. When I restarted my phone though all the newly installed apps would be gone and I would have to install them again. I made sure I was installing them to the phone and not the SD Card as well.
Other things aren't working right either. For instance the adw.launcher home button doesn't take me back to the default home screen. Pushing the button I get haptic feedback but no action for it. No setting for it under "settings" caused any change.
I did clear data on the google play store thinking that would help with the install of the apps but that didn't help either. I still get force close issues.
I am at a loss at this point and not sure what to do next.

[Q] Installed CyanogenMod updates no connection to Play Store

I was running cm-10.2.1 and last night I installed CyanogenMod updates cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2 and cm-11-20140210-SNAPSHOT-M3. Several of my apps either quit working or disappeared. When I clicked on Play Store to try and re-install the apps, I got a message of "No Connection". Searched the problem and several people said to delete the Google Account and re-install it. After deleting it, the phone will not let me recreate it. When I click on Add Account and then the Google symbol, nothing happens.
Is there solution to fix this? if not, can I just re-install 10.2.1 and fix it?
My phone is an AT&T SGS3.
Thanks,
retnuh
Re-flash GApps, that has happened to me before, and this is what fixed it.
As LittlePalmTree stated, sounds like you need to reflash GAPPS. Make sure you grab the one compatible with cm11. cm11 is android 4.4 where as cm10.2 was 4.3 if I am not mistaken.
Thanks for the help. I tried to re-flash the gapps after reading the first reply but before reading the second reply. You guessed it. I did it wrong. The phone would not get past the spinning circle screen. Ended up using CWM to re-flashing the rom stored on my phone and also re-flashing the gapps stored on my phone. So, I'm back to version 10.2.0, but at least my phone is working again. While I would like to update, I'm afraid I will mess my phone up again.
Thank you for both of your replies.
Googled the problem and found a few solutions from the simple - force stop/clear cache - up to full factory resets.
Different things seemed to work for different people.
Tried the force stop/clear cache and check time/date is correct (which causes some people problems.
Then I tried removing my Google account and adding it in again. However, it wouldn't let me do that until I re-flashed GAPPS. Did that and it all works fine now.

Pandora stopped working, stuck at splash

Hello all. Hoping someone can help me figure out why Pandora has stopped working on my N7 2013. It is fairly new, got it for Xmas. It is unlocked and rooted, but running the stock 4.3 rom (no interest in 4.4+ at this time).
Pandora was working fine at first, but when I opened it yesterday, it gave me an error, saying something like "your pandora session has timed out", and kicked me out of the app. Opened it back up, and it was stuck at the splash. Left it for several minutes, and nothing. So I force closed it, cleared it's data and cache, and reopened it, same problem. Uninstalled it, reinstalled it, same problem.
Went into recovery, cleared dalvik and cache, booted back up, reinstalled Pandora, same problem. So finally, I made a titanium backup of all my apps (no system settings), did a factory reset, restored my backed up apps, everything EXCEPT Pandora, downloaded that fresh from the play store, opened it, same problem... wtf???
Ok, fine, it wants to play hard ball... so I did another factory reset, then wiped data, cache and dalvik seperately. Booted, set up my google account, and didn't install ANYTHING, EXCEPT for Pandora.
SAME PROBLEM!!
What is going on here??? For what it's worth, Pandora still works fine on my phone (Rooted 4.3 GS4). So it's not a server outage or anything like that. This has been going on since last night.
My last ditch effort would be to restore the factory image, then unlock and reroot again but damn... what could possible be stuck so bad as to survive all that? I have not modified /system/ at all except for installing busybox and supersu.
... well... what the heck. So I flashed the factory image, and now, finally, Pandora is working again.
I can't think what the heck would have happened in /system/ or anywhere else other than /data/ that would stick through a factory reset and keep Pandora from working....
Any ideas? I really, REALLY want to avoid this happening again.
Upgrade
I have installed Pandora v5.5
I don't think it is available in the Play Store yet. It could be an issue with ART and Lollipop. Flashing a stock older image could be what works with that version.
I only see Pandora 5.4 in the Play Store.
5.5 brings a new Interface and some really cool features. You have to find it online and side load it. Probably what your problem is/was.

[Q] Google Playstore Broke?

Good morning! Alright. So. All I've done to my phone was Root it and get Xposed on it. Everything was completely fine until last night. Now, whenever I try to download anything from the Playstore, it just gets stuck on "Downloading". I've tried wiping its cache, its data, force closing it, reinstalling the update. Nothing seems to solve this issue. I was wondering if anyone else has run into this issue on this phone, and how they resolved it? I can't even update my applications, and I didn't even get a chance to Update my Phone, but now when I try to Scan for Updates, it just gets stuck searching :/
This happened to me at first. What worked for me for a couple days was to toggle airplane mode. Then, it started getting stuck again. So, I downloaded Beans GAPPS, and extracted Google Play services and Play Store.apk, and that seems to be working. Keep in mind, that not everything is going to work smoothly. If none of this works, look for the .apk and move it to your device and install it that way. Hope that helps, bud.
I tried Googling Beans GApps, but it seems like they haven't been updated in about a year. Or am I looking in the wrong places?
This has also been my problem since getting a pixel 2 xl almost a month ago. In fact, I wanted to make a thread about my issue earlier but I'm just too lazy! The only thing I did at first was to unlock the bootloader.
Now, I am completely stock without even root but my playstore downloads are stuck in "downloading" and usually the download starts after being stuck in this phase with about 15-30 minutes delay (which could even be hours before my download is finally started, so it's random). The funny thing is playstore lists my device certification status as "uncertified" in the settings. I have tried clearing cache+data of play services+play store+removing/adding my Google account. I also did a fresh and clean install of the May security update rom but all to no avail. I remember reading in another thread that Google may impose a 7 day lock or something for your Google account in these instances so at this point I am just waiting it out (only 3-4 more days remaining) to see if my problem goes away by itself, otherwise, I am pretty clueless as to what I should do next.
