Play Store: Server error, Retry

a.s. i like to mess with system apps
So "all of the sudden" google play opens with a grey window stating server error with a button retry.
I tried the following:
1.Cleared cash, data, reboot.
Server error.
2. Let it run for a while as it auto updates.
Server error
3.Uninstalled, installed gp3.7.13.apk
Server error
4. Uninstalled, installed 3.5.19
Server error
5. Installed 3.7.13 back
Server error
In between somewhere the apps name was Market. Now its called Play Store again. Also some service called play store hygiene was running. Still server error. What else can i try?
It all worked well until it didnt. Ow except that for some apps ( that had the ability to install to sd card?) i had to unmount the sd card before installing, or else i wouldve got a message cannot install to usb storage or sd card. ICS problem?
I contacted google. Waiting for a reply...
@ikn0wagh0st ow yeah forgot to mention i am from germany. Haha maybe it is just a server error after all...

Any chance you are on the east coast? We have been having a lot of issues lately with due to the weather.

It still doesnt work! And its more than a day now!
I even tried this tool. http://viewoneworld.wordpress.com/2012/03/24/google-play-server-error-quick-fix/
Didnt try vpn tough, but i mean comon... it worked the other days. What could be wrong?

I reflashed the rom now, and it still doesnt work! The app play store is still the same as before flashing though...
Also i tried the app talk and it also cant sign in!
But when i opened the internet browser i was automatically signed in with the default account.
Google did not reply to my emails (yet?).
Any suggestions?

And your Google account is Ok?
Maybe you have to remove the Google account from your phone and re-create it again.
And no app is preventing Play store from accessing the internet?
(No firewall or filter app)
Play store is working fine ... and I am from Germany too.
Have you checked to access Play store from WLAN and/or mobile internet?
Maybe there is a difference?!

I tried both 3G and wifi. I double checked firewall configs and even disabled it to see if its working. I get the same server error message.
I went to /data/system and deleted accounts.db. Then i rebooted the phone, so the gmail account was no longer there... I started google play store and it was asking for an account. I closed it, went to settings and set up the deleted account again. Then i started google play store and guess what: server error. I feel frustrated.
Also i wrote google an email once and got a promt reply. This time they didnt reply yet.

New approach:
I uninstalled google play, then market and market updater from the phone completely and flashed it with the official sgs2 rom. Then opened the app now called Market, selected my service E-plus: server error. Now im pretty close in believing its some kind of server error after all. Hope itll sort itself out. I feel disconnected without google play.

I solved this issue by doing the following.
1. under > apps > All selecting Google Play/Store and selecting "clear data". I did the same thing for Google App Framework.
2. Reboot
3. Under accounts I removed my gmail account and added it back.
4. Reboot
5. Win

I've had this a few times caused by the time being set wrong on the device. My old wildfire refused to auto sync time and periodically went completely wrong and a few times my tablet has ended up on the wrong time after flashing.
Manually setting time/date works.

Can someone help me? I'm on a sensation xe running cianogen mod 9.1.0.
I can;t seem to get google play store to work! Tried everything and it's driving me insane, help? :/
I keep getting the server error issue. I have tried to delete the account and put it back, reinstall cianogen...but nothing seems to work?
PS.: Where is Google App Framework? I can't seem to find that anywhere!

What i can tell you is that i also reflashed the stock rom, but it didnt't solve the problem until i factory reset it, and flashed the rom again... now im not sure what factory reset would do if u run CM, but if you have a bulletproof bootloader like cwm, then its worth trying... I don't think factory reset changes anything in the boatloader. But i'm no expert, you should check that out.
You shouldnt worry about the framework, if you dont know where it is, you probably didnt uninstall it. Or did you accidently?
Ps. Its spelled cyanogenmod

MArket apps problem Xperia S

Hey there!
My situation is there are two same xperia s devices with the same stock 4.0.4 . Same google localization and we tried to install dead trigger on both.
One of them showed it in play store and installed without a problem, but the other one doesn't show it and can't install it. When we force to the apps play store page it says its incompactible with the device.But when i go to play.google.com manually sign in with the google account and find dead trigger click on install it starts installing. So dead trigger is solved but there are many apps on the play store that the device doesn't show when we search them.
In the app settings i cleared data and deleted updates. It has not solved the problem.
Any help\idea would be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Did you uninstall the play store after clearing data then reinstall? Im certainly no expert but will try help, if that failed, you said your running the same 4.0.4 I remember reading in the build.prop file is your device name, if you have flashed a rom it is possible the device name has changed, according to google play I have a different phone, I am not sure about the Xperia S but it's something to look into perhaps.
If you log into the play store on your PC it will tell you what device it thinks you have when you try install an app.
One other thing I noticed, Titanium Backup advised me that my device id has changed, with the paid version it restores it to the original, not sure if that will work if you didn't have the program before flashing.
Good luck anyway.

I need your help :: Google Play Store app is crashing

Hi Friends
For the past couple of days I'm struggling with the the google play app crashing problem.
I have tested all most all CM ROMs (9.1, 10, 10.1, miniCM, etc...) but in all ROMS when I tap the Google Play app its opening and after 2-3 seconds its crashing with a error message "Urfortunately ......". I'm not frustrated and do not know what to do.
What and How I'm doing
------------------------------------
1. made partition (from TWRP recovery) to my 16GB Class 10 microSD card : 1GB sd-ext
2. Copy CM rom and gapps to SD card from TWRP by mounting the SD card
3. Clear cache, davinc, factory rest from TWRP
4. Clear system, delete the existing ROM
5. Flash rom and then gapps
6. reboot
Please help me as I'm not able to install ANY app without google play app. Is there any other way to install apps w/o google play app ?
Thank you.

Nothing works bro, I ve tried everything and still its crashing.
BTW, It may be really mad, but I noticed one of friend who had visited to my home and his Google Play store app was also crashing with my wifi setup (connected his phone to my wifi). Is it something related to wifi ???
Also when I'm trying to visit xda forums all CSS styles are gone and I'm seeing only weird plain HTML pages with all browsers, but on Linux/FF it works perfectly with same router.

Use int2ext script not int2ext+ i faced the same problem..
I replaced the script.. Cleared dalvich cache and data of playstore..
I deleted the account and added again.. It worked..

I'm not actually good at this but do I need to remove all my apps then change the script or there is an easier and less time consuming way.
Thanks

There are 2 ways:
1. Copy the script in the ROM zip then flash the ROM..
Now you can do is flash over the present ROM installation after wiping cache and dalvich cache ..
2. Copy paste script..
As you have many apps I would suggest that remove apps then put the script..
The reason for removal of apps is it will take a long time to boot plus you may never know what may go wrong .. You can restore your apps via titanium backup so uninstalling won't be a problem..
Hit thanks in the left corner if I helped you..

First of all backup ur all the installed apps with ES file explorer or other one, and also backup ur phonebook contacts then reset ur mobile... I m sure that It will work

Google play store error 505 after nougat update

I use Facebook for work as we have fan pages. I use Facebook pages manager to manage them. I never had Facebook downloaded on the z5(work phone). I received a notice in play store that pages manager had an Update available. That's when I started receiving the 505 error code when trying to update the pages manager. Then I uninstalled the pages manager and tried to reinstall and now it won't install at all keeps giving me the 505 code. I read online where they say to remove the Google account and then add the Google account back,clear cache and data etc.... and if that doesn't work of course reset your phone. I'm not going to reset my phone because I will lose too many important chats with in different applications on the phone.
Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Update: the only apps that won't update are Facebook,f.b.pages manager,and now f.b.messenger....I'm not a Facebook fan,but need them for work.

This is an unlocked phone bought from Sony in Thailand. Model E6653, build# 32.3.A.0.376

if you are rooted and have sony ric disabled then install playstore again using lucky patched, but first go to settings apps find google play store and wipe everything from that app.
EDIT : Best thing is to use titanium backup(you have to be rooted) and backup every app that you have important chats on, and then do full wipe(excluding /system).

Full stock z5
I'm not rooted. I'm also using a Huawei mate 9 with 7.0 and having no problem with Facebook apps. Thanks.

Is the problem only with page manager or with other apps, if only page manager simply download page manager apk from apkmirror and install it and that's it.

Only Facebook apps are effected.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to installing apk,roots etc...

Apkmirror is source of official apks so it is same thing like if you download from playstore.

So I need to download from unknown sources? Check that option in security section?

Open this :
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/facebo...manager-102-0-0-15-67-2-android-apk-download/
press download apk, then go to:
Settings Security enable unknown sources and then install this apk, just press on it in notification area, after installing disable unknown sources if you want and that's it.

Even though I get a warning message saying it can harm my device?
Thanks for your help.

Ignore it, i use apkmirror for years and never had any problems with any apk.

It downloaded,but I can't locate it. It's not in my app drawer or on any home screen.....
I went to my down load section,and tried to click it,but it says can not because it conflicts with existing package. So I know it's in the phone,but how do I access it...?.....

File Commander or any other file manager and locate Downloads folder and there it is.

When I try to download
Here is the screen shot

It won't open......

Well you have to uninstall existing page manager to install new.

I did. I deleted any file that had the word Facebook in it from file manager too. I even went into Google play store under all apps and deleted it from there also.
It's so strange how it only FB,FB messenger,and the page manager

Well this is a bug. I experienced this problem after upgrading to Nougat from Marshmallow using flashtool. Sideloading (apk) won't work. Do a factory reset, that's the only fix.

It's just too much trouble factory resetting. I'll just have to use my other device.
Thanks guys.

you have to do a clean install not update..
