Google play store problems?

[Topgonzo]

I've been having problems with my play store either crashing randomly or not updating apps..been going on a week or so. Had anyone else had any problems with error messages for this?

Yes. My Play Store icon turn generic green and no longer works. Really tough to get new stuff without it. Google support said factory reset was the only way to fix this. Bummer. Haven't tried that yet as it will require me to re-install all my apps. BTW this my HTC EVO 4G is not rooted running android 2.3.5.

Try uninstalling the Google Play updates (find Google Play app in the Play Store or your app list in the Play Store and click uninstall.) This will uninstall any updates to GP and put it back at the same state it was when you got your phone. Then I would restart the phone and reinstall the updates to see if it helped. Also depending on your error message, you might just need to log out of the Play Store and log back in. Maybe try that first. Hope something other than factory reset helps.

I started having problems with mine the other day. Keep crashing and could not open. Went into app settings, cleared cache and data, started working after that.

Can't really go to google play store app as it will not launch. I don't see Play Store or Google Play Store in my app list under All Apps or in Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All, though I do see Google Play Services there.

UPDATE:
So, I got innovative. Went here:
Download: Latest Google Play Store 3.10.14

and downloaded latest Google Play store on my PC and save to DropBox, which I already had installed in phone, then I installed it from phone using copy in my DropBox app. Voila, back in business. Store works again and no Factory Reset Required.

Force stip and clear Play services will likely help but which model again

Oops. I guess that would be a bit of a catch-22. I was originally going to say long press it on the home screen and select uninstall, but wasn't sure if that worked with system apps.

Glad you found a solution.

You get this figured out?

Google play gets a network failure often. also the icons and pics dont show up clearly...they are blurred on my galaxy ace recently... any clue to why this happens.. any remedy to solve this problem... pls advice.

 

[Casanova Carlos]

The same problem!

First of all...Sprint drives me nuts. "Do a factory reset" is their catch all. There's usually always a solution that doesn't involve a reset.

Google Play can be the source of many headaches. Here's a fix for when it acts up AND when you install a new ROM:

-Go to your main screen
-menu button
-manage apps
-you're going to do the following to the following apps:
google play store, google services framework, google play services

a) Force stop
b) clear cache
c) clear data

-reboot

*If you're rooted, reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik as well...then reboot.

When you open Play it will ask you to accept blah blah blah etc etc...just click ok, and you should be good to go.

Hopefully this helps some people out there!

Finally found resolution to playstore issue on my gn2. Updated samsung apps through samsung hub or samsung apps. Once they updated my playstore started downloading again. Hope thus works for u
