[PROBLEM] Cannot download certain apps from play store - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Alright, I searched around for the past hour but I couldnt find an answer, so here goes!!
I have a Nexus 5 that I rooted and installed TWRP just this afternoon. When I tried updating SuperSU and hangouts and installing ES File Explorer the play store was stuck on the "Downloading" message and never downloaded the file. But updates of all other apps worked fine. I am on WiFi. I even tried installing other apps and they work fine.
Here is everything I've tried: Resetting apps preferences, removing and adding my google account, rebooting the phone, clearing play store cache.
Then for one last thing, I tried downloading the apps over 3G and hurrah they download fine!
So I'm guessing the issue is with my WiFi configuration, but my Mac works fine on the same WiFi connection, so please help me out here in identifying the problem!
TIA

Have same issues on gt9300, guess this is google's issue

I thought it was something wrong with my phone, glad to know it isn't. But still weird :|

Error downloading 403

I have tried to install Cyanogenmod and ProBam on my Moto G, however on each of these I get the \Google Play Store error 403 and I a=m unable to download or update any apps. I have tried the usual clearing data and cashe on play store and framework but no such resolve, was fine the other day when I initially installed ProBam and only uninstalled as my screen would not turn on after sleep, any ideas what could be causing this on both roms ???

Thanks for sharing, seems maybe an App Store issue, I have to admit though once I have restored to my stock nandroid I can download app no problems so still not convinced just the App Store.

[Q] Apps Stuck "Downloading"

Two days ago I decided to switch from cm12 nightlies to cm12s.
After performing a clean flash I was very pleased to see that I even had the option to restore the apps I had installed before. However, when trying to install those apps I encountered a problem. Because the apps would not download. They would say "Downloading"but it woult get stuck forever.
I had never experienced such problem before but so I thought it was the cm12s flash. So, I flashed back to the latest cm12 nightly I still had on my OPO with the hope that the problem would have vanished. Unfortunately it didn't.
MY PROBLEM:
When I try to install apps from the play store they get stuck in an endless loop of "downloading".
What I tried so far:
flashing back to a normal cm12 nightly
flashing cm11s and after that upgrading to cm12s (in cm11s the problem also persists, same for SOKP-rom to see if it would also persist in a different rom)
rebooting with and without superSU after flashing OS.
entirely wiping my phone (cache, dalvik cache, system, data) and flashing cm12/s
after the step above^, deleting the data and/or cache from "Google Play Services", "Google play Store", "Google Play Framework" (and if possible deleting updates so it goes back to factory app)
changing location settings
deleting google account and re adding it.
clearing Cache and Dalvik Cache multiple times
using the 1-Click installer from their forum
Tried to find the android_secure folder but could not find it. (even with hidden files disabled in windows)
Perhaps even more but I can't quite remember much more...
I experienced after flashing a new os multiple times that the problem is not really the play store and/or the apps in it. But I believe the problem is more with the "Google Play Services" because most of the apps I can update perfectly fine but the "Google Play Services" continuously refuse to update and get stuck at "downloading". Unfortunately that app is needed to be able to use e.g "Gmail".
Hopefully there are more people on this forum who have experienced this problem before and know how to fix it.
Got the same crap... It's been 2 days now with the Store stuck on downloading.

Also tried to disable the security section like Enterprise.
Nothing works.... This is driving me mad!!!

Somehow it fixed itself......
What cought my eye was that if it is not working, try downloading the app via 3g or at your friends house... For some reason it would sometimes not download via wifi but it would via 3g.
I hope this works for you aswel

I didn't get it working again, so I removed all data and reinstalled the rooted firmware for my device and just did a backup with the mybackup pro.
Somehow there was something with the system or the data, but it works now.

Are you using a cm12.1 nightly? If so, what gapps have you flashed? These sort of problems are usually solved by a clean flash (wipe system, data, caches, reflash rom and gapps).

Rooted phone won't install apks, how can I fix this?

I recently rooted my phone, and it worked perfectly fine after that, but a few hours later, I noticed that the play store would not connect, even with a stable connection. Noticing this I thought to resync my account, however I was prompted with a notice saying "could not connect to Google servers, try again later." After getting this, I checked online for solutions, most of them being for me to download ES file explorer and delete a host file, however while trying to get the file explorer apk, I was told it wouldn't install. I finally resorted to a factory reset and I still have the same problem, and I can't get my backup data since I can't log into google accounts. Can someone help me?

So I tried doing this, flashing the stock ROM, and I ended up in a bootloop, I've been trying since yesterday but I just keep getting errors. My model is the SM-G930V
you might be better off asking in the Verizon forum as you have a Verizon S7.
