error while retrieving information from server. [RPC]

I seem to be having this strange issue with google market.
if I go to my apps, I only (according to play store) 1 app installed which is nit the case. Secondly, play store seems to think I have never purchased an app, eg, I have purchased titanium back up pro, but the store is yet again asking me to buy it at 4.99 where as it would usualy state 'purchased' and download. Secondly on trying to repurchase it states there was an error with the wallet, i then receive 2 emails a charge mail, and a refund message.
when i log in to the the play store on the web, it clearly shows apps that i have purchased in my account history with no price and the word 'purchased' but if I navigate manually, using search, it will state a price and ask me to pay
also i am using the same google account, i only have one.
below is an image of the error

Same problem, after cleaning cache problem disappears with bringing new one, f*&king blank page! No installed apps nor purchased asking me to buy it again. "All apps" tab is empty too. Damn wtf is wrong lol..

what rom are you using buddy?

I have the same problem.
The Google Play Market support could not help yet.
I think it does not matter what ROM on phone, this is a google play bug.

Yea i suppose, but looking on google play, its not under any known issues :/ looks like it may be a while before its fixed.

I contacted the customer support.
They could not solve the problem yet
it seems that the lost connection between Google account and purchased apps.
I sent some screenshots in Google Play support and I hope that the problem will be solved.
I advise you to contact Google Play support: [email protected]
I think if there is a lot of posts about this issue, it will speed up the solution

phew glad to see I"m not the only one. I'm hit with this as well on THREE different androids (one of whom is stock unrooted so its not my fault rofl).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24058132

I have also realized I am not getting application updates. its rare I go 3 days without a single update, maybe its because it thinks I have not purchased any apps lol

Any chances that your phone market local data is not yet synced properly with the google play ? I have seen that my apps (free or paid) is not listed out immediately right after I do a full wipe or flash a new rom with full wipe. But it will eventually show up itself after awhile with data/wifi connections. I personally didn't know how long it required to sync back but eventually they will appear back when I access the market again after I restored my personal data back.
By the way, did you guys try to check your account and performs a manual market sync in the Account settings section ?

yes yes and yes we've tried all the normal market fixes, downgraded market, uninstalled updates etc.
This issue is visible on multiple droids I own (including one unrooted stock) and on web market as well, its definitely server side

I'll check in on this thread too lol. I'm in exactly the same position. No response from google.

It seems not the same problem. This is another google play problem...
This discussion about the problem when the purchased app not in app-list when I trying to download&install app, google play say that the app is not bought.
Google Play thinks I have not purchased any apps.

I noticed that going to play.google.com and trying to install apps that way would give me errors. Trying to view my apps would have a page error. All my apps on my phone are gone, but my tablet has them oddly. Weird!

I have them on my phone and not my tablet! I think it might be related to market version whether or not they disappear device side. Can only assume the newest versions of market/store download the list from the server, rather than locally. Play.google.com doesn't work for me either.

I am also having the same problem after updating to OrDroid 1.7.5 from 1.7.3 hope this is fixed soon so I can install my apps from my backup.

I'm also have issues with my Galaxy S2 and Xoom

Same problem here with my Defy. I'm on CM7.2 Nightly build.

Just started having this problem a few moments ago on my Xoom. Cannot install any apps from the play market from my PC and keep getting server error when trying to access my apps on my xoom. Not checked my Galaxy S II yet... maybe a problem with Google?

International Travel with TF 700

Oddly my transformer lost the google play books and google play movie apps while traveling in Europe. My Galaxy Nexus was unaffected despite sharing the same wifi connections. I understand they aren't available in the market..but odd they seemed to vanish from the transformers GUI. I had to uninstall and reinstall them the first time I reentered a country they were available in.
Anyone with similar experiences internationally? Kind of annoying if you can't trust it to keep the video and books app if you take content with you...

I'll let you know if any of this happens to me since I'll be traveling to Europe soon.
Last time I was over there I had an update come through on my NexusOne and the language got switched so every time I searched it was in another language. It really only affected Google properties for mobile web but it was really annoying and it took a while to fix it.

Thanks, I'll be curious. It either happened in Belgium or Luxembourg. Since I traveled through several countries, I'm not completely sure. I noticed it in Luxembourg, but it could have happened in Belgium. I know it wasn't an issue in Germany or The Netherlands.

Did try to get to connect to a TP links based Acess point @ Beijing Marriott (exec room level flloor)
so when asked at F Desk they offered me rooms at non Exec Level ! NO !!
no such luck - TP links have a weird G freq as it seems not to comply with Int Stds etc
but funny enough the WIFI in the GOLD LOUNGE did connect
(saw acess point as DLINK)
I did get to G Store ( HK based ) just as Google Main page
Hope this is helpfull

That's normal. I have just the app section because the rest is not available in my country. When I go to the UK though all the services appear.
There was once a app called market enabler. IIRC it brings the full layout back. If you want to buy something though you've to use a proxy.

Yes, I understand the market changing to only have the available sections in that country is normal. That happened on my phone and tablet. The Play Books and Play Movies apps completely going away from the device, that only happened on the Transformer.

This gets worse and worse...
I'm in the US now, and after my last reboot, the Google Play Books app went away, and no matter what I do, it won't come back. I have the Books section in Google Play, but when I select it, it says I need the newest Books app. It takes me to the market page, but there are no buttons to install or uninstall. I tried side loading it, but it still doesn't show up in the menu, though it does make the Uninstall button show up for the market.
Any ideas short of doing a complete reset?
I also tried manually re-installing the last US blob file, but that didn't re-add Books.

I guess the difference between your tablet and your phone is that the phone has a SIM card that tells Android what country it actually belongs to. The tablet has no SIM and therefore must rely on WiFi geolocation for that purpose.
If Google Books is missing and you can't install it from the Market, it's probably disabled or frozen (same thing, different terms). Try opening the Settings app, select Apps, select the All tab, scroll to the bottom and see if Books is there. If so, select it and click the Enable button and you should be back in business. If it's not there, something really weird has happened...

As promised, I'm in Europe (Poland) and can begin to let you know what I'm seeing. I think the above quote MIGHT have something to do with it. I'm not sure of how your setup was @amaddux but, I'm completely on WiFi for now. I haven't seen a change and even the time was still GMT+5 (made for an interesting morning). Since this was all over WiFi everything is normal except for Play shows zl (local currency) for purchases.
Once I put a European SIM into my old phone (NexusOne GSM) and tether, it might change this. I'll keep you posted as I try different configurations and go to Germany.

Unfortunately, Books is not listed under All, either alphabetically or at the bottom, so I think I qualify under the "something weird has happened" clause so far.
The steps to get here as far as I remember are...
Movies & Books goes away after a week in Europe, while in Luxembourg, right after a visit to Belgium. Once leaving Luxembourg, in Germany, I'm able to uninstall both Book and Movies and re-install them, using the market. They both show up again. 5 days later, I'm in the US again, reboot, both apps vanish again. Movies I'm able to un-install and re-install and all is fine after a reboot. Books I'm unable to Uninstall. It shows up in the Market, but with no button. Side loading it make the Uinstall button appear in the market, but does not let it run on the tablet.
Update: I did find Books in the Play Market My Apps All tab. I Uninstalled it there, which then gave me the "Update" button. Once I updated it from there, it seems to be back. A quick reboot keeps it. So back to normal for now, just hoping this doesn't happen everytime I leave the country.

Ok, so I've been in Poland and Germany. Everything is working fine, books/movies/etc. It knows where I am since the cost of apps in Play change to local currency (zl) and search results need to translate. I've only been on WiFi networks though, not using a European SIM

Interesting. I was in Germany over a week with no issues also. It wasn't until either Brussels or Luxembourg that I had an issue with apps vanishing. I would bet on Luxembourg, since I only had access to "Apps" in the Market while there. Either way, everything is good for now.

I should clarify, Luxembourg is a country, although it is also a city, but in this case the fact it is a country is what matters.

I took at trip to the Dominican Republic and lost access to the TV Shows section (after I had already purchased and downloaded a bunch of TV shows no less!)
I tried EVERYTHING to get it fixed, but for some reason, every time I would uninstall and reinstall the app, it kept giving me the "DR" version (you can see what version is installed in the Settings menu of the particular App).
I ended up having to factory reset the device.

Had you tried clearing the data and cache or, uninstalling and reinstalling Play?

[FIX] Google Play download/connection problems

Many people have been asking why Google play either fails to download apps or fails to connect at all, so here's a few things that might fix it!
1) Clear the Cache from Google Play in your settings.
(Settings > Applications > Google Play > Clear cache)
2) Try removing your Google account and re-adding it
3) Seems obvious, but try turning your internet of and on
4) Try rebooting your device
5) restart your internet (Through your main hub)
If non of these work, you may be best contacting Google to get it checked out!
Hope this helps

Also tried everything. Even complete uninstall of the play store through titanium backup and reinstall manually the apk. No luck. Internet working fine, only market is dead. The strangest thing is that it was working well, I did not modify anything, then it stopped working.
Please help

If you've tried everything above, you could try restoring your phone. This would be a pain but if you back everything up first shouldnt be too much of a problem. Or you could just leave it a week or so and see if it starts working . If not, I'd say contact Google.

That's the obvious last solution, but it doesn't really make sense. There must be a reason for the market to be doing this. I also tried manually installing a few different versions of the play store apk, not just the latest one. Still the same results.

I know what you mean. Maybe certain devices can sometimes have trouble accessing the market itself, or maybe its just a temporary thing with the Google servers.

1 more thing.
If you patched any app using lucky patcher, it would have created an odex file in data/app. In order to install it again, you should delete that .odex file.
Sent from my muffin LIFE! Under maintenance.!

I don't recall having used Lucky Patcher. Sadly I will never find out what went wrong. Flashed another rom. It was time for a change anyway

I will try this trick

I think also, if you install a ROM or have a device that does not come pre installed with Google play, that flashing Gapps may be better! Because I've tried manually installing the play store using an apk before. And most of the time it won't downloads apps. Try to flash Gapps as that may solve it. You can get gapps by searching for it followed by your android version on Google ^_^ good luck

I had a similar issue where my rommed kindle fire either couldn't connect or was unable to download apps from the play store. On connecting to the store the device details failed to register at all limiting greatly the available downloads.
Resolved the issue by using a gmail address for logging into the play store. For some reason using email other than gmail caused an issue.
Also removing/hiding unused devices in play store allows you to reconnect devices correctly it seems.

I think the registration process creates (or allows you to create) a gmail address but you can log into play store with the non-gmail address used to register. Unfortunately it seems doing so causes download problems.

Try using it with a gmail address then? Other than what I suggested I'm not sure to be honest. My last solution was to contact Google but they can't give a lot of support to custom ROMs.

I had this same problem with my LG Optimus V, famous for this kind of thing. The first time this happen, I clicked on settings, then Applications, then Manage Applications. Then clicked ALL, then Google Play Store. Then I clicked on Force Stop, then Clear Data, then Clear Cache. Then run Google Play Store and agree to terms. This always worked for me using Froyo 2.2.2 -- When that didn't work, I un-installed the updated Google Play Store and reverting back to the basic one.
Later on this problem happened again, but this time it was when I rooted and flashed a custom ROM. I started getting the error message the file didn't download, but this time it was also telling me the file couldn't download because of low memory. Go figure, Optimus V only have 256 megs of internal ram, but anything below 100 megs gives the the Google error. So just before tossing my phone in the trash I read a post somewhere here on XDA forum that showed step by step how to partition a microSD card and link the second partition as internal memory using an app called Link2SD.
So I tried it on a 16 GB card and after rebooting my phone, it fixed it. Never had the problem again. Plus my Optimus V thinks there is 1GB of internal ram now. Being most phones today have 1GB or more internal ram, there should be no reason for this kind of error.

Hey Guys,
Regarding the latest Play Store update there's this annoying new feature (I was hoping it was some kind of bug) that stacks any updated apps at the top of the "My Apps" list and I find it really annoying.
Is there any way of clearing them so they go back into the list ? Google Maps is still there from 2 days ago and now I have another stuck up there and it looks untidy.

This may or not help you, but give this a read:
http://www.guidingtech.com/16923/remove-apps-history-google-play-store/
From what I read so far, you need the updated Google Play App v3.9+ it gives you the ability to select which apps to remove from your "My Apps List" Hope this helps.

Full Google play in israel

Hello everyone,
Something weird happened to me.
I live in Israel and we only have access to the apps play store.
When I turned on my n10 today and entered the play store it allowed me full access to the play store, without using a VPN or anything.
I thought it was a glitch or something so I tried it on my n4 using mobile data (my n10 was on WiFi) and to my surprise once I cleaned the play store app cache I had full access to the play store via WiFi and mobile data without using VPN!
I bought songs and videos and streamed them seamlessly on both my devices using different types of internet.
Anyone else came across something like this?! I sure hope this sticks! Lol
Another thing, my friend on his tf300 using the same WiFi couldn't get full access like I did, how weird is this?!

I had the same thing and now enjoying reading the latest Jo Nesbo book with my Nexus 7. Apparently it happens only if youv'e purchased stuff beforehand through the store - I tried logging in with my wife's Nexus 4 (purchased through my account) and couldn't get the full content. Than i connected with her account via proxy, purchased a 1.0$ song and- Hurray the store is now open throughout any connection. I guess they will open up eventually since there are some Hebrew content there.

I tried to open samples of some books, most of the times I get message: couldn't open the book.....

same here...about book i dont know... but if u purchase a movie or tv shows via vpn you can then play it without a vpn via the movies app.
the purchase itself cannot be made without a vpn though.

Sadly, I now cannot even enter in play site with proxy to upload some books in Google Play Books, it says not avaiable in my country, even with proxy. When I log out the content is avaiable, but when my profile is signed in no sign. Maybe Google somehow determined my location idk. Any ides?

More people gettin "Play" in israel.

Does the play store still work for your account?
I saw some new reports on "gadgety.co.il" about the store being available (Cant post link being a noob and all..)
It's not up for me :crying:.
Wondering if its an other bug or are things starting to move...

Play Store throwing *DF-PFA-02* error can't retrieve information from server

after ****ing around with a google wallet exploit for my S3 which I probably shouldn't have done (build.prop modding?)...the google play store home page throws a dreadful error of "error retrieving information from server DF-PFA-02" I cleared the app cache for the play store, google services framework, tried to remove my card on google wallet, re flash, wipe everything. Still throws this error. And this error code is not very known either, so my searching in google was cut short...especially the "DF-PFA-02" error
it works if i downgrade the play store to the android market, AND it works if I use my other google account. AND the new 4.0 "phonesky" apk play store homepage works
due to certain reasons, I would like to keep my old play store version, before the 4.0 overhaul
I can download apps and apparently update them..I just can't openly browse anymore D:
i'm pretty witty when it comes to android hacking and modding and troubleshooting..but i'm at my wits end here unfortunately....you guys are my only hope
Thanks

I am getting the same error on the AT&T S4. I have no idea why this is happening but it's really annoying.

Also getting the same error on the AT&T S4. Just started happening now. Of course it happens right as I'm trying to download Tapatalk to peruse xda.

Seems common for some reason. Happening to me as well on the Verizon S3.

Install the newest version and it fixes it.

Because the old version is exploitable with in-app purchases, so Google is forcing you to get the new one, so its not just happening to me.
But my other Google account works fine with it?..

I'm also getting the same error. What did you do to fix it, install the new play store?

Thanx for pointing out the obvious and I take some blame for that.
Yes, I read the last two post before posting but I can see how I didn't make that clear when I asked the question.
I meant to ask: did you install the new playstore (which still isn't available to the public via an update) to fix the problem OR did you find a solution to fixing the current version?

Ahh okay. Can't speak for Stan, but I just installed the new play store. Quick download from that link and install like any other app. Reboot for fun. Fixed.

I used my other Google account and the original 3.0 play store works fine, no luck though getting it to work for my main Google account
Installing the new 4.0 play store also fixes the issue, but I don't want it

This isn't much help but the error went away this morning, play store back to normal.
