Need help with ICS...play/market won't open

I can't get the play/market to load or open. Additionally if I access via the web and try to download rom manager etc it says it's already on my device.....which I can't find. How can I get the play/market to load and open? I've tried multiple older version. Here are my specifics:
Xoom wifi only (US)
Android Version 4.0.3
Kernel Version 2.6.39.4 Tiamat
Mod Version 1.4.0-XOOM (WiFi)
Build Number IML 77
Please help....my tablet is pretty much only an internet browser at the moment.

another way around your problem
as far as play from google since you have browser you can go directly to market and try reinstalling if from your browser on your tablet. try loading from your browser and if that don't work there are other methods if you search through xda you can find google apps folder and load them on to your sd card and load from there I have learned that it is near imposible to ruin these tablets. hope this helps

Delete the cache of market/play and Google framework services.

I tried this, I still can't load Google play. Ever since acknowledging the change from Google market to play, I've not been able to load my apps page. funny thing is, it will update my apps, though page/app will not load. When I try to access it via the web, it won't load my apps page. Even though I'm logged in, it asks me to log in again, but won't allow me to log in..a script comes up to "touch/click" login, and it does nothing..using dolphin browser HD, I'll try another browser, but think it will get same results. Anyway, I've got a rooted 4.0.4 ICS Xoom.

This has happened to me last week. Basically you get your apps updated because you have enabled market apps auto update. Your issue is with market unable to load or open and sometimes with connection error. Right? Try first rebooting your router and your device.
If so, you have 2 options here only.
First, is your device rooted?
Option 1: create another gmail account and then try to add another google account on your device with the newly created one from settings / accounts and sync. If successful, before going to google play, open youtube app and login with your new account. If ok. Login with old account. Then reboot. Then go to market and open your new account. If ok, login to market using old account. And check. If ok, done. If not, option 2 is the only solution.
Option2: backup your stuff. And fully wipe factory reset your device.

You can also just delete your current Google acct and then re-add it. This works with some of the Google apps errors.

not working
well..I tried option 1. and also to remove my Google accounts then re add them. still doesn't work. I just re flashed 4.04 over 4.03, so I don't want to do a data wipe again, since it was happening before I flashed it last time as well. It seems I can get to Google play from a browser, but when I try to get to my apps from there, it will also not connect. I'm about to just put a mod on like tiamat...dunno yet
now did the wipe, still no work, then loaded EOS ROM, still not working. I can only guess I need to use another gmail account all together

I have the same problem on time with google applications.
Due to differents flash of differents ROM and Google applications
Flash the tablette with the GAPP signe:
http://goo.im/gapps
reboot and no problems

This is getting annoying...
I have done every suggestion here. wiping data, even trying EOS builds and cyanogen mod, clear cache, wipe cache, use another Google account ( I have 2). Google play app will not open. When I go there from my PC, it says app will be installed, whatever the app may be, it is not getting installed to the Xoom, even though I'm logged in. AT first, Google Play would not open, but apps would install on the Xoom when I had auto update enabled..still Google play will not play nice.

I had same issue like you. Unfortunately, the only solution to me was to factory reset my xoom. Flash rom and gapps again.
Be4 that, try rebooting your router...

[Q] Hangouts = Google Play Service not supported on this device ?

My g/f phone is on the last version of Saba Prime v16. We did a force update to get Hangouts today and it worked fine..... until we rebooted it. Now Hangouts reports "Google Play Service,which some of your applications rely on,is not supprted by your device.Please contact the manufacturer".
Google Play Services and Hangouts were uninstalled, phone rebooted, then from play store they were installed again but the message persists.
I have a Desire S with Fallout rom, the same version of both apps and works fine even after multiple reboots....
Any ideas ?

I'm getting the same issue on a VZW Nexus. The weird thing is I have 2 Nexus LTE, one mine, one is my wife's. Both are running the exact same ROM/gapps/kernel/radio.... On one device the update to hangouts was flawless, on the other I get "device not compatible". Then a "play services" won't update error....
I've wiped the ROM clean install and tried to update before restoring other apps and still have issues.
Anybody have ideas to correct?

First idea is it sounds like it might be due to different versions of gapps before installing hangouts; I know that the gapps I flashed onto my phone got updated at some point afterwards, and now looks different to the package I downloaded and flashed originally.
Second idea, do your phones have the same CID? (i.e. same carrier, same sim-unlock state).

Okay I fixed on my end...
It seems as though it was on Google's server end, if that's possible.
The short answer for me was, wipe data > install ROM > install hangouts via apk (previously downloaded)> reboot > flash gapps > update Google now> update Google play services.... Viola. Seems like there should have been an easier fix.
Long Answer
I tried wiping data reinstalling ROM and gapps and that DID NOT work. I was getting the same error for Hangouts, Google Now, and Play Services and then some.... "Device not compatible"
I tried the exact same thing but logged into my Google account rather than my wife's and it worked just fine. No errors... Retried wiping ROM and flashing gapps, used her account, device not compatible again. That's why I'm guessing it was server side if that's possible. Even the web version of Play Store was saying device not compatible. CIDs were restored in each case and running same AOKP version and same Gapps.
That lead me to trying the install without Gapps... You only get so far before you must login to Google for obvious reasons, but for what ever reason, having the app installed on my phone before signing into gapps allowed for updating all of the other Play Services without issue.
It doesn't make sense to me but I'm up and running now...

My Solution
I'm a little late to the party, but this is the easiest post to find on Google for this problem. Mine worked after fresh ROM install, but it would start giving the error after a reboot. After much searching the thing that ultimately worked for me was to uninstall updates for the Play Store. I haven't uninstalled Play Services and after the Store auto updated, I could use Hangouts once again. I am using a HTC Desire with Cool Droid v3 GSM ROM.

I can confirm that steps suggested by MikeAce00 worked flawlessly.
This is what I did with a rom with gapps installed already
1. wipe & install rom -- do not input google credentials
2. install hangouts (google+ not necessary!) apk manually
3. input google credentials
4. update google play services (Hangouts even requested this...happened automatically after inputting the google credentials)
5. restart
6. done! -- hangouts should work
For me it did not seem to make any difference if you restart directly after installing hangouts apk or after inputting the google credentials

I've tried the methods proposed here, but no luck. At poinjt 4 I don't get a request for update, just the same old message about google play services not being supported.
I'm currently going through older versions of gapps and see if I get to a point where Google Play updates the right files in the right order.

Please Help Me to Side Load Play Store Onto Xelio Tablet

I recently bought a Xelio 9" tablet (Android 4.0.4) and need to get a full version of an app that I've paid for onto it. Seems like the easiest way would be to side load the Play Store onto the tablet and then log into my Google account and recover that app. So, that's where I'm stuck. I downloaded the 'com.android.vending-4.1.10' apk to the SD card and then used ES File Explorer to navigate to it and install it. Seemed to install fine... that was until I attempted to open it and I get an error 'Unfortunately Google Play Store Has Stopped' and I can't get any further. Do I need to copy the apk to the /system/app directory and change permissions or is there something else I should do/try?
The tablet doesn't have GAPPs but it does seem to have Gmail & Maps even though I didn't try to open them yet. Thought that was odd since it wasn't supposed to have any Google apps from the factory but sure 'nough, there they were.
Thanks for the help.

Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?

Try another version.
I successfully am using 'com.android.vending-4.0.27.apk' with the same method you described.

On a Xelio tablet? Do I need to root and/or run another ROM? I think I saw something where someone was saying to flash CWM and then CM9 onto it so I was going to look into that next.

I tried 4.0.27 and still no dice.

I am using xelio tab 7" and I rooted and used an app called lucky patcher to install a modded play store. It has no relation to the play store at all plus the play store is installed as a system app and you can choose any version of the store starting from the android market to play store 4.3.10. Also it installs the original stores as well.
Update
It now has the latest play store update as of 5/14/2014.

GPlay Search isn't working

So, I installed JellyBread v5. The first time, I was trying to access the market but it gave me an error, followed by a notification that I had written my google account password incorrectly, since I had no way of fixing it, I ended up doing a reset from the settings menu. The 2nd set up, everything was working fine, I could access my apps from Google play, but. Whenever I searched something, It wouldn't show any results. I tried rebooting the phone, and nothing happened. I set the content settings to show all and still no change. And for some reason, it won't work on the browsers either.
Theoretically Speaking, I can only install apps I search for, using only my computer.
Should I do another reset? Or Just re-install Vending.apk?

Bump?
Anyone gotten through this?
Upade :: Re installed the room (via CWM) with full process (Wiping > Install)

Use latest Google™ Play v4.3.11. It's there in "themes & apps section" & latest Google Services App. Both are necessary to install any apk via Play Store.

Cant connect to google servers.

New issue.....
Rooted my.phone and updated some apps in google store
Then google store wouldnt connect
So did all usual steps of removing google account. Deleting cache etc
Rerooted
Tried reintalling google play services (although i couldnt work out which download was the correct one)
Any help appreciated.
If relevant (which it might be?) i downloaded hide my root and subsequently deleted it
Thanks in advance

Update..
Tried to change the hosts file as per online instruction
Another thread said delete the hosts file. Which i did.
Im now getting the "google services has stopped" constantly.
Please help!
