Play market - General Questions and Answers

I am trying to buy an app from the market, but it tells me there is an error. I cleared cache, wiped app data, checked my cc info from my computer. I can buy stuff via my pc, but not my phone. Thoughts? Suggestions?

I Have no options to downgrade or remove updates. I can disable and reenable it, Which makes me accept terms and conditions again but still gives me an error code when trying to buy something

you might want to grab an older version of the market app from somewhere, there are plenty of Gapps packages available on the internet.
It's what worked for me when i couldn't install anything from the market. Restore an old backup, and re-upgrade. That fixed it.

The way I did it was through clearing the cache in settings and uninstalling updates. It worked for me after that.

Went into script manager and tried to uninstall, it wouldn't let me. It asked what I wanted to do with the file, and gave options, one is them being install, so installed vender and phonsky again. Went into apps, play was twice is normal size, had the option to uninstall updates, I did so, and cleared cache. Nothing but an error.

it would be good if you post wich error Google Play tell you, then if someone already fixed that can help you.
I've got a problem with google play, it doesn't install anymore any app, free or shareware, so i removed market and installed an older .apk found on the web, from then on, also after the re-update it started again to work. Also if your phone is rooted you can avoid the automatic update.
I hope this could be useful

Sooooo using rom toolbox, I uninstalled play. I grabbed a very old school market, it worked, but it didn't want to update to play. I junked that, I grabbed inverted market (black and blue) and still the same issue.

Unable to buy apps from Market

Title says it all. Running Eclipse 1.3 with PBJ kernel. I'm unable to purchase apps. When I press buy it just says "an error occurred, please try again." I HAVE purchased apps before, but I can't now. Derp.

Well the only other thing I can think of besides flashing your ROM again is to reinstall the market.
Yeah as said maybe try to re install the market or maybe this?

Open an older Rom that lists all. Take the market .apk and install it on your phone. It will overwrite what your current one is.
I am having the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus, I don't think it's app related but the change over from Google Checkout to Google Wallet.
I've been able to purchase and download apps just fine until they changed me over today. Now I can purchase apps but they won't download afterwards. It accepts the payment but stalls at the download part. I tried buying a different game and the same thing happens (although I managed to refund in time knowing the issue this time). Free apps download just fine and everything else appears ok.
Worst part is the 15 mins were long gone after I tried installing it for the 40th time.
Did you also get some message about Google Wallet notifying you when the transaction goes through?

Did you go here and verify that your credit card info still intact? and with enough credit?

Yeah, I verified (and even re-entered) my credit card info and called to make sure there's plenty of credit on the card. I just bought an app yesterday no problem, and it wasn't with the Google Wallet account but Checkout... the issue seems to have started since getting the 'Google Wallet' info in the Market instead.

My card has plenty of credit. It doesn't even buy the app-just instantly gives an error.

[Q] [Solved] Titanium Backup

Ok, here it goes. I have been using tbu for a few years now on various phones. I am using version 3.9.0.1. This is one of the first problems i have had with it. When I go to install or uninstall any app, I get a force close. I have tried numerous things to get it working again with no success. Anyone have any thoughts?

The only thing i can think of is, i have too many apps backed up. I have 247 user apps that equal 3gb. I don't know, I'm lost on this. I might back them all up on my computer, then start uninstalling them normally. I'll get rid of 50 or so and then use tbu and see if it acts any better.

Android Makret wont update to Google Play

Im currently on Richie390's MIUI 2.3.24 rom and having a little problem and anyone using that build or knows anything help would be useful. Last weeks build my market updated to the google play store and was working fine and everything, i then updated my rom to the more current rom which is the 2.3.24 and now my google play store has reverted back to android market. i tried downloading the apk and installing manually but it keeps saying install unsucessful. i also tried the clear data and open market and it should update on its own but none of them work. Any help?
Why does it matter? Significant changes are the icon change and name.

Just use a root explorer and overwrite the old vending apk in system/app?
I've never used an MIUI rom but I'm assuming you still flash gApps zip like the other roms, you could unzip the gApps you're using, copy the updated vending apk into the app folder and rezip the files and flash it

make a backup in CWM.
then boot your rom, and use something to remove the market, or just delete the .apk
try re-installing it then
if you still cant get it working, you could always try pushing it to the phone via ADB from your computer... but that seems like it would be a bit too much work for just a few non necessary changes.
Appreciate all the help, ill give some of the advice a try and see if maybe one of em works LOL

BTW, whoever said there weren't any differences between Market versions hasn't played around with it much. The latest version of Google Market, hmm, Play, is a mess, especially when comes the time to figure out how to display purchased apps separately from all the other crap I may have had the misfortune of trying in the past. There is also no way I can find to filter the previously-installed app list: a simple alphabetical sort option would greatly help.

You flashed a gapps package? You can't really install market from the apk. You can force it through root explorer but just flashing gapps again should solve it. Make sure it's a gapps package with play already packaged. Otherwise give it a day, it should update itself

Try this go to applications/Google play the clear data/catch then uninstall updates. Let it recalculate the app then try opening play store from app drawer. If it works it will reupdate the play store once you enter.
If that don't work then maybe time for a super wipe.

Have you edited the lcd density at all? Did you uninstall or freeze any system apps that play store uses? Do you have system apps that you restored from earlier roms that were on different Android builds? Is your recovery and su app up to date?
This is what I'd try:
Go to app manager then all apps clear data and cache from Google services framework and play store. Reboot.
If that didn't work then id reboot to recovery then format system then advanced restore the system from a nandroid. Next wipe cache/dalvik and fix permissions, reboot.
Obviously, have/create a back up before hand
