Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

Welcome to Android Central, Ginni. There are a number of possible fixes already mentioned in this thread. Have you tried them?

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

Ok I tried both of the ideas so far and mine is still acting a fool! The force close idea didn't work and the download in the app manager was not disabled.... What else is their to try?

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

Jay, did you clear cache and clear data (in Application manager), for both Play Store and Google Play Services?

Have you rebooted? Done a battery pull (for about 5 minutes)?

In the app manager, for the Play store, tap the Uninstall updates button, and see if things work with the old version of the app. If so, try reinstalling the update from the play store.

If none of these work, in the application manager tap the menu button, then Reset App Preferences.

If nothing above works, I think the only thing left (unless you're rooted) is a factory reset.

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

Hello,
Thank you for your efforts. My gadget is a galaxy tab2 10.1 P5100. I have tried to upgrade its android to Jelly Bean (because mine is 4.0.4) so I rooted it but was unable to install the update in the CMW state (it said Installation aborted). Anyway, I took the upgrade out of my mind and I went on using my tablet as before (I had to wipe all the data and do the factory re-set as a pre-requisite for the unsuccessful upgrade), then all of a sudden I received this Google Play error sign! I did all the solutions suggested: clearing the cache, disabling and enabling, factory re-set..etc but none succeeded. Any advice will be appreciated.

What happens if you try to uninstall the play store app? If you've installed updates, it should allow you to remove the updates and go back to the stock version. See if that works.
Do other google apps, like gmail and google maps, work correctly?

I had this problem too. None of the suggestions fixed it (including uninstall/reinstall, factory reset, etc). I had to flash with the original rom THEN do a factory reset again. THAT finally resolved the issue.

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

Hi I just had this problem when I updated cm 10.1 nightly. I just went to settings apps Google play store delete data then uninstall updates. Then it worked fine. Hope this helps

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

I tried that still not working

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

I found the solution! The only option that worked for me was going in to Settings>Application Manager> selecting the menu button and Reset App preferences. Determined to not factory reset my phone, resetting the app preferences gave allowed no loss of information on my device.
Hope this helps!

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

I received the phone a few days ago, took a day to activate through Sprint, but once I got through that, I got all the Sprint goodness <sarcasm> and then I installed a few applications. I received the "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped" error.

I tried clearing cache and data for Google Play Store to no avail. I uninstalled updates and then it worked! but unfortunately, Google Play Store updates itself and then I get the same error "unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped".

I then uninstalled EVERYTHING I installed and cleared cache and data from everything -- but I get the same error for Google Play Store after it gets its updates. UGH.
THEN, I did the backup/reset option and reset back to factory default. I only installed Lync2013 which is what I needed for my work. and I get the same "unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped" error. AND I have checked to see that "Downloads" is enabled too. 

any thoughts? <please help> :'(

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

Went to the local affliliate Sprint Store ... the girl behind the counter rolled her eyes and said not another one!
She tried resetting the phone to factory defaults - twice. to no avail. She's ordering me a NEW Samsung Galaxy S4 ... for the Google Play Store issue and the constant reboots.

we'll see if this fixes it!

Re: unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped

When you see ?Google Play has stopped working ?? error, you can try:
(Try one thing at a time, Don?t try everything at once. Try to run Google Play after each step.)


1. Remove the updates for your Google Play

- Go to the menu?>settings?>apps?>all?>google play store?> uninstall updates, then reboot your device.

2. Remove the cache for your Google Play

- Go to the menu?>settings?>apps?>all?>google play store?> remove cache, then try to run your google play again. It is better to do a reboot.

3. Try to delete and re-install Google Play

- In some cases, delete and re-install resolve this issue.

4. Check that Google Play on your device installed as system app instead of user app

- If your Google Play installed as user app, try to install it as system app. There is a app that helps you to change it easily. ?/system/app mover? Try this app (Sorry you have to find the app on your own!)

5. Download and install a different version of Google Play

- Sometimes a different version of google play works instead of one that you have on your machine. so try to find a different version of google play(older or newer version) and try.

6. Use a different market application

- You can also use a different market app like 1mobile: ?http://www.1mobile.com/? There are so many different android market apps, and it is up to you which one you will use!

hope this help!
