To make a really long story short, after Sprint's recent ota 5.07.651.1 (the update that came with the Sprint connections optimizer) was installed on my phone, I could no longer download or update ANY apps on the android/google play market while connected to 4G. Went to the Sprint store to get it fixed, they tried and failed, got a new replacement handset with ota 5.07.651.1 already installed, same exact issue. Reached the conclusion that the update screwed things up. Downloaded and tried to use this RUU file to revert back to the old build right before this one (4.67.651.1):



This was unsuccesful as the error message it gave me said:

ERROR [140]: BOOTLOADER VERSION ERROR

The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone.

Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.

My hboot is 2.18.0001, is there a version of the above RUU file that is compatible with my bootloader version?

Wife had the same problem....(now wait for it) the tech turned off the 4g and everything worked fine on 3g....so now she has to do that to do anything with paly store.....

Same issue with mine. I can update with 3g or wi-fi but not with 4g.

There is an issue with downloading apps over 4G. Google already has the issue reported. I have no idea if it's been fixed.

#6789539] "Waiting on network" error over 4G

We're aware that some users (in particular Sprint users) are receiving a "Waiting on network" error when downloading from Google Play over the 4G network.

This issue is a problem with the configuration of your carrier network, but we're currently working with carriers to get it resolved, so thanks in advance for your patience.

In the meantime, as a temporary workaround, please:

Use 3G instead of 4G to download from Google Play or
Use WiFi instead of a network connection
