After I installed app2card, the gtalk has gone crazy, it closes immediately on start. I tried "fix FC" of app2card, didn't work. Then tried to re-install data (and later wipe data) from Titanium backup, that didn't work. Only way looks like if I can uninstall and reinstall these apps. If someone is kind enough to pass me corresponding apks, it'll be extremely helpful.
I don't use gtalk much but problem is, in its absence, Market stopped working.
TIA
Hy!
I dont know if it helps you but if you switch to Settings/Software and Activate the "Install Software from Unknown Locations" (Einstellungen/Anwendungen/Unbekannte Quellen) you can install apps from your Browser.....i Used this too because my Market is also dead.....
Unfortunately in that mechanism also the final installation is done by market which is broken for me. My only hope is probably to reinstall stock apps so requesting if someone please post stock gtalkservice.apk Talk.apk Talkprovider.apk?
[Solved]
So gtalk wasn't crashing, it somehow couldn't read my gmail credentials. It'd exit immediately with "ERROR/GTalkService(171): createGTalkConnection: account is null!", and therefore Market etc also wouldn't work. So finally what I had to do is to delete /data/system/accounts.db ... then reboot (wasn't required) and fired gtalk -- and it asked for my google a/c details and started working.

Ok, I had very same issues. I have installed App2SD application as it was explained by this Vietnamese guy on his forum. Then I started the application, made 2 partitions and then moved my apps to SD. It took me couple of tries to do it, but I finally managed to run apps from my SD.
So, after that, since I uninstalled a lot of application before (due to lack of internal memory), I wanted to download many of them from the Market, but I got stucked with "Starting Download" message. So, I started to search for the answers - stopped Market, cleared the cache and data and at one moment I uninstalled Market updates (that was suggested by sombody on some forum). After that, I lost my market application. Then, I reinstalled it from /system/app/Vending.apk, but now it won't start, but it is giving me the message "A server error has occured...". Then, I saw that Market and Gtalk are closely connected (I haven't no idea about it), so I have read somewhere that I should log out from Gtalk and then logged in again. My Gtalk app won't start, but it keeps returning me to home screen. Also, I went to /system/app - but when I wanted to Launch Gtalk - it gives me the message that Activity com.google.android.apps.gtalkservice was not found.
I tried to delete accounts.db as you suggested, but my Terminal Emulator application is not working... Any clues?
EDIT: I uninstalled Terminal Emulator and installed Better Terminal Emulator (because I had it on my laptop) and removed accounts.db. After that I had to recreate the account, but my gtalk works, as well as Market
My wife surprised me last night and took me out to get my gTab a week early! I brought it home and charged it, played with the default installed for a bit, and as we all know...it was awful. I proceeded to install VEGAn b5.1.1, that went as smooth as one could want...15 minutes and I was chugging along on a MUCH better/faster interface. The issue I am seeing now is there are certain apps (not Angry Birds) that aren't showing in the Market. I can't seem to find ADW Launcher, Facebook or Launcher Pro. Any thoughts on this? I cleared the cache and user data when I did the install so I don' think there should be any lingering issues there.
Thanks

When they are talking about clearing the cache and data for the Market fix, they are talking about clearing it for that app and not the full cache/data wipe when installing the ROM.
Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and then select the All tab, scroll to find Google Services Framework and Market. You clear the data/cache of those and force stop them. Back out to the main home screen and try to access the Market again. It should error out....reboot the device and after it boots...just wait for a few minutes. Try the Market again...it should ask you to accept it's terms again and hopefully show you more apps then before.
It's just one of those things with having a device that isn't supported by Google and hacking the Market to work.
LauncherPro is one I've seen appear and disappear in the available apps on my Gtablet running VEGAn 5.1. Without real Google support, even tricks and hacks can only go so far.
Luckily for me, I have a Motorola Droid and use that to grab anything my tablet doesn't see and then push it to my Dropbox account and get it from there for my tablet.
Most things I can see with all the Market fixes, do-overs and what not. My test being LauncherPro....saw it once...then it never appeared again after many "fix" attempts. That particular app is also available from the developers site ( http://www.launcherpro.com/ ).
This (using Dropbox) really works well since my other tablet will not boot so once I nvflash boot it....it needs to stay on. Market fixes (requiring a reboot, etc..) aren't possible, so Dropbox has been awesome for that tablet.
Two things that may help
Bluetooth File Transfer might help.
I put this link up a few days ago because I had the same problem.

There are a gazillion threads on this topic, but most of them are about device-specific or carrier-specific problems. However google play store can stop for a number of reasons that are more generic. Googling them is a pain in the butt, as I recently discovered. This thread is intended as a place to collect them together. As well as checking here, it would be important to check on threads for your specific device and carrier, as they may have pushed a bad version.
Cause: Part-installed apps: something went wrong part-way through installing an app
Checking: Check in google play; if it says 'downloading' or 'installing' permanently, something is amiss
Solution: Try uninstalling the app (you may be able to reinstall it successfully afterward)
Cause: /mnt/sdcard is full
Checking: If you have a terminal, use the "df" command, otherwise use a capable file viewer
Solution: On a terminal, "cd /mnt/sdcard", then "du -s (dirname)" to check sizes, "rm -r (dirname)" to remove something (or use 'mv (dirname) /mnt/external_sd if you have an external sd card with some space). On a file viewer, move or remove relevant directories. You can't avoid this: if your sd card is full, you're definitely going to have to remove something (or move it to your external card) - the system isn't going to work with a full card. USE WITH CARE EITHER WAY. Whatever you remove cannot be retrieved, and removing the wrong thing can make your system or applications misbehave.
Cause: Corrupted data
Checking: Try the solutions in increasing order of severity.
Solution:
Go into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:
Clear cache, Force stop, restart Google Play and retry
Go into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:
Clear data, Force stop, restart Google Play and retry
Go into Settings, then Accounts and Sync, Click on your account, then on options icon, Remove account (ignore warnings - it's easy to restore)
Restart Google Play. It will ask you to add an account - add your original back in.
Cause: Corrupted binaries
Checking: Not sure how...
Solution: Install an updated binary. This thread always seems to have the latest. But you should probably check your device and vendor lists in case there is a device-specific binary (I think the more specific binaries currently just add a different skin, but further information would be good). You may also need to reinstall google play services (thanks jpeg1900)
Or:
"I just reflashed the same gapps in CWM over the first installation, rebooted and had to wait a few minutes before Play Store actually started working again." - Thanks Nephatiu (see below).
Please feel free to add further info below. I'll try to incorporate all good nuggets into this post.
PS anyone know a better way to do tables in this wiki?

Not sure. I had a similar problem at one time, and eventually discovered it was due to a specific app that had only half-installed itself (perhaps the tab had crashed halfway through the download, not sure, it's lost in the mists of time). Uninstalling that app got over the problem. However it might help someone (perhaps you) if you post the error message that you get on the display (people are likely to google it, so that you might get together with other people with the same problem).
I had issues with the Play Store earlier today and tried clearing the app cache and data to no avail, but found another simple fix. I uninstalled updates from version 3.8.15 back to 3.7.15. Worked like a charm.
Well, my Play Store recently crashed during updates, after which it wouldn't run any longer anymore stating that same message every time I try running it and also every time an app accesses the store for information (which seems to happen when I just open the apps). My sdcard wasn't full, clearing data and cache did nothing, no other data is corrupted, I replaced the market with a fresh copy apk, tried different versions, ... Nothing worked... So, reading the internet, I saw the final solution was to remove and re-add my Google account, but for some reason (not a rational one) I didn't really want to do this, so I went back to CWM recovery mode, reflashed the gapps zip I used the first time and rebooted... Once booted it didn't give me the error I usually get on any other boot since it started crashing, but when I tried running Play Store, it crashed again with the same message... Defeated I went to my Google accounts to remove, at which point (just before doing anything) I noticed the Updates-notification of the Play Store popping up in my notification drawer. I tapped it and Play Store booted, everything works again, and it updated itself back to the latest version, still without any problems.
So in short, if you don't ant to read the entire text:
I just reflashed the same gapps in CWM over the first installation, rebooted and had to wait a few minutes before Play Store actually started working again.
Dunno if this will work for anyone of you, 'cause it depends on the reason it's not working, but this possible solution should not be missing from your list since it worked for at least one person (me).

Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3
just download Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3
http://www.androiddrawer.com/11257/download-hotspot-shield-vpn-1-3-app-apk/
and google play store will work again
What does Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3 have to do with Google Play not working?
That is an app which creates a VPN so you can access sites that are locked or not authorized.
Personally I went into Settings than Application Manager, then ALL, then Google Play Store.
After that i cleared all the data, force stopped the app and restarted it again.
It worked nicely.

seems point 3 fixes it for me, but as soon as im back on the play store and starting to download something it just starts over again with the error message. Any ideas?
Not even sure how to describe this one..
Hardware: ASUS ME301T (MeMo Smart Pad 10)
Version: 4.2.1 (10.6.1.29, but it was happening on 10.6.1.25 as well)
Rooted, SuperSU installed for the multi-user support. Aside from that, the device is stock.
Play Store: 4.1.6 (4.0.something factory)
Setup:
2 users
Primary user has 2 Google accounts+FB account
Secondary user has a single Google account
Problem:
I have 43 apps installed on the primary user. If I install even 1 more, the app crashes when trying to load the list of installed apps. Doesn't seem to matter what the 44th app is. Uninstall it to drop it back to 43 and it works just fine again. Secondary user is at 46 and no issues. I've tried removing both Google accounts, clearing data+cache of the store, DMClient, and Download Manager, as well as removing the store updates. Nothing has worked. The only things left I can think of is trying to update the store manually via newer apk or a factory reset. I don't know what, if anything, ASUS changed in the store, as the installed size reports 10.46mb or so. Also want to avoid a reset for obvious pain-in-the-arse related reasons.
Any ideas?
I ran into a similar problem. After reading this thread, i tried a few of the suggestions. What ended up working for me was to go to the application manager, got to google play store, uninstall updates, and re install the factory version. Did the same for google play services.
same problem with 4.3.1.1
using a custom rom (LiquidSmooth) on a Galaxy Note II (N7100) international.
went through all the removing\reinstalling\clear cache tricks.. same error pops up every time i try to open the store, and sometimes just as a background process.
not sure if re-flashing will help... (cleared cache and dalvik too).
thoughts..?

No good ones, but just wondering - is there any possibility it's the 43rd app that is the root of the problem? Perhaps its data is corrupted in play's database, and adding another app reveals the problem.

Just in case you didn't try it, jpeg1900's suggestion of reinstalling google play services (rather than just google play) might be relevant here, in light of it crashing as a background process.

Unfortunately google play store has stopped

thank you in advance!
4.5.10
Is this a bugs?? On note 3 original rom play store version 4.5.10 also has this problem, sometimes clear data on download manager / play service / play store can help, sometimes there is no choice, I remove gmail account and sign in again can help...
Why does this happen? Did google give any answer?
helpful topic
i found this very helpful.. thnks
remove account and work well, after few days the same problem occur again!!!! What happen to android? is it need to wait new google play new update?
I broke it!!!
after trying all the processes, several times
I am running Paranoid Android ROM and just wondered if changing hybrid profile of Google play store was contributing to app crashing?!?
note: I was able to open app but from opening menu could not go into any individual tabs (I.e. "apps") without crashing...
Changing hybrid settings back to lower DPI fixed issue and I have just set to the maximum DPI before app starts crashing
hope this helps others

If your problem is due to google sites being blocked by a firewall (your company's, your ISP's, your country's, or whatever) this may be helpful. Be aware that you will need a site on the other end, outside the firewall, to route your google play communications.
If that's not your problem, this solution won't help.
Usually you will know - only a few countries block google, it's highly unlikely that a commercial ISP would, and you will know whether you are trying to do updates on your company's network.
There's a host file in system-etc- delete that file and reboot your phone and see if that works..

Ive searched google and only found topics from a few years back, but for some reason Spotify and SoundCloud will not update in the play store. I get the "insufficient storage available" error. I have about 10gbs of space left over so that's not an issue.
I've cleared the data/cache in the play store and the individual apps and no luck. I've also reflashed Cataclysm thinking that would solve it but still nothing. Any ideas?
Don't know if this will resolve your issue, but have you changed your dpi? Might want to try downloading Multi DPI Play Store

I changed my DPI in the cataclysm settings to 82% but i went back to 100% and it didnt fix it. Thanks though. I read something that you can delete a certain file and it should fix it. I used ES file explorer to try and find it but i couldnt find the app folder.

Theres gotta be somewhat of a fix for this. No?
I had this also for quite some time, honestly I suspected an application who caused that message.
After a few days it got fixed by itself.
Maybe it helps to clear the cache
Yea, its pretty weird. It is only happening with 2 apps. Every other app updates fine. Its not a deal breaker as I dont use Spotfy and SoundCloud too much, its just annoying. I've also tried reinstalling the latest Cataclysm but I get a failed attempt everytime. We shall see.

I got the same error when I started using aoip 4.3, and it's just the amazon app for me. It works just fine, but it hasn't been able to update for weeks. I thought it was something to do with amazon's update, since it was isolated on only the one app.

-Try reinstalling the apps.

So I uninstalled all spotify, soundcloud, es file explorer, and netflix. I used root explorer and went to data/data and found just a spotify file and deleted it. Now they wont download at all and still giving the same insufficient storage error.
Settings>Apps>All
Force stop Google Play. Clear Data/Cache
Force stop Google Services Frameworks. Clear Data/Cache.
Reboot.
That has worked for almost every play store error that I've seen. Let me know if it works for you. Note that the reboot is important.

Ouch. Sorry man the cure all doesn't seem to work for you. Go into Play services and see what it says about Storage. Attach a screenie if you can. Worse case I'd reboot recovery and wipe cache/dalvik then format system and reflash again. Does cataclysm have gapps included?
Worst case solution is a data wipe aka factory reset. I had this problem on my old phone. That was always a sign it's time for a fresh flash and wipe.

I just got this same error for Netflix. I am running rooted stock 4.4.2 with XPosed (using GravityBox and RootCloak) and TWRP.
Error first occurred last night. No significant changes preceding, Plenty of storage left. Last significant change was the recent update to BusyBox (just throwing out anything). Can still update/install other apps. Since error I have updated my SU Binary.
Additionally I have a Nexus 7 running the exact same setup except for ClockworkRecovery instead of TWRP and it accepted the Netflix update without issue.
On the N5 I tried using TWRP's "Fix Permission" option (hell if I know what it does but why not), but didn't work.
Only other thing I can think of that is relevant is I had to re-flash everything about 2 weeks ago because my initial install had apparently set my "storage space" as 16GB when I have a 32GB device. But that issue is fixed and I've tried freeing up extra space just in case.
Edit: After more research I found one person who mentioned BusyBox along with the insufficient storage issue. I tried going back one release to 1.21.1 and restarting the phone but was unsuccessful. Was on 1.22.0, 1.22.1 just released so I'll see if that helps.
This is now happening to me as well. Two apps only, Twitter and Amazon apps.
I've tried deleting old files, reinstalling, one touch cleaning, you name it, I've tried.
Is the only way to fix this is to reflash ROM?
I'm running CyanogenMod, with Franco kernel on a 16gb Nexus 5.
Go data/app-lib and delete the relevant folder for the app your having problems with
