in google marketplace on polaroid s8 tablet error df-pfa-03. Any ideas?

This tablet has not been used in a year but whrn he got it, i installed the google marketplace to get angry birds and some other games. I tried uninstalling marketplace and installed new play store app thru browser. That didnt work so i put the older market place back. O am not too savvy with this stuff.

Welcome to Android Central! Did the tablet come with either Android Market or Google Play Store preinstalled? If not, that means it wasn't certified for Google Play, and therefore may not be compatible with it if you manually install it.

Hello, i just joined. This was my original question. The tablet did not come with any google store however i was able to install some apps last year and they worked. We put it away for a while when we moved. Now i get the error when trying to get into individual app install page for any app. Also, the AppStore that was on it does not work and didnt have much anyhow. Also, i checked a pdf of compatible devices for google play and its on

Check your Google Play Services and make sure it's current (7.2.40).

If you can't get the Play Store to update and have an Amazon account give their app store a try. They have pretty much all the same apps.

Install Amazon Appstore
