I am not able to make purchases from the google play store on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 anymore. This started a couple of weeks ago. I am still able to download free apps with no problem, however when I attempt to purchase an app, it gives me the Error message which says "Authentication is required. You need to sign into you Google Account."
I have tried all the basic things such as uninstalling updates on google play and google play services and clearing the data/cache on google play, google play services, google framework services, and talk; I even cleared the data/cache on all of my other apps just to be safe. I tried removing my google account, changing the password on my gmail and pc so they would all be surely the same. I also restarted the phone multiple times. Nothing is working and I am so frustrated . I don't want to have to do a factory reset (though it seems this may be my only option) but what's more is I'm worried that won't even help.
If anyone has had similar issues and has any further solutions (other than those I previously listed) please let me know!!! Thanks!
