Thank you! This worked instantly for my Galaxy S4. Google Play Store has been crashing and malfunctioning for 4-5 days now and I tried everything from restarting, to clearing cache and app data, disabling-enabling." Settings >> Applications Manager >> Downloaded apps >> Reset app preferences " This is what worked for me!
I found a page that helped me with another problem and then gave me the same problem as you but then I cleared google play stores's cache and data. now it works here is a link on what to do but they forgot 1 step once your done ALL of that clear data and cache for google play store
I know it doesn't say anything about google play crashes but I did this than cleared my data and my cache and it fixed it so I recommend trying

WARNING: YOU MAY LOSE ALL YOUR DATA BY DOING THIS.
Issues:
- Account sync OFF permanently with the message: "Sync is currently experiencing problems".
- Signing in Google Apps fails showing message: "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server"
Possible Cause:
- system file named 'hosts' (/etc/hosts) points to a Google server that changed IP, thus blocking access to Apps.
Possible Solution:
- edit 'hosts' file (/etc/hosts) deleting or commenting (adding a # at the beginning) the old line
I have a Samsung Galaxy S AnyCall M110S with GFAN WF07 SP 8 XDA Version i tested it and it worked...
It may be work on any android device.
Please do it at your own risk.
How to do it:
1.- Root your device (of course)
2.- Editing the file
You will need a proper editor
On your device open your browser and go to: Total Commander - Android
Download and Install Total Commander for Android... and open it
3.- Browse with Total Commander to root/etc
(hint: on the right side of the screen there's a shortcut to system folder.. look for etc/ and you will find it)
Long tap on "hosts" > edit file > Totalcmd-Editor
Open etc/hosts and edit the file. Just put # before 74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com.
4.- SAVED (after u hit save it will ask you to mount a system thing tap yes)
Edited file should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
Copy paste ^ that and replace everything in the file with that
remember: based on my own observation it should be look like this:
127.0.0.1(just one space)localhost
#74.125.93.113(just one space)android.clients.google.com
5.- Try Rebooting If that doesn't work Factory reset, wipe data.
6. Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.
7.- Sync to your account and contacts
Done!
Now you can connect to Google Play very well.

What worked for me (Evo LTE with MeanBean Rom) is a slight variation on someone else's post.
Go to Settings -> Apps -> select "all" from the bottom tabs scroll down to download manager .... That was disable so click it and if it is disabled, enable it. That worked for me. I believe I disabled it when I was having issues with downloads hanging and I never enabled it. Apparently it is necessary for the Play store to run (which in hindsight makes sense).

Thank you SO MUCH!
I was just about to do the reset as well but I read your suggestion and did the same. It works perfectly again!
Cheers!

I tried
Force stop
Clearing data
Uninstalling and redownloading
Nothing worked. Play store force crashed still.
Until I realised the default download manager was disabled.
Enabled this in the apps manager and insta-fix.
So glad I tried this before factory reset.

(Go to settings, then Apps then menu then click "reset application preferences" should most definitely work)
This worked just perfectly with my Nexus 4. i have tried all the other solutions other than reset to factory settings (thank God i didn't get to that point otherwise it would have been a hassle backing up all my data and restoring them again)

I couldn't connect with Play Store either. The solution was as easy as re-setting to the correct date and time. My date and time were off by more than a month. Ray
Hi.
I've tried all the steps in this thread and play store is still crashing. When I checked download manager it was never disabled in the first place but tried disabling/enabling anyway and that didn't work. I don't know what else to do, I'm travelling at the moment and won't be home for another 4 months so I can't afford to do a factory reset.

The only other thing I've seen suggested is to go into Settings, scroll down to the Accounts section, choose Google, tap the account associated with the play store, and then remove that account, followed by recreating the account.
Never mind it's fixed itself. It was crashing non stop when I was in Denmark but now that I'm in Norway it works perfectly, very strange.
I have tried everything, even factory reset. But when I did the reset, the Play Store icon was gone. So I downloaded the apk file and reinstalled. Same problem "process.com.android.vending) and Force Close. Tried different versions of Google store, same problem.
This has another side issue, it doesn?t allow my apps to update. When I install any version of Play Store, before crashing the first time, the system notifies me that I have XXX updates, then it Play store crashes and they never come up again.
Why is the icon gone? Shouldn?t it just BE there? That?s what a reset is for...
I?m running 2.3.6, stock.
