This has been an ongoing problem for me across every ROM and each one seems to handle it slightly differently. On first boot after doing a clean install of any ROM, whether it's AOSP or TW, the Play Store will never connect properly. On AOSP, clearing Play Store and Google Services data and restarting does the trick. Right now I'm on JellyBeans 20, which on a clean install will only connect to play store after clearing data on Play Store and Google Services, restarting, and then adding my Google account again. This usually works. On any 4.3 TW ROM I've tried flashing, I've been unable to get the Play Store to connect, attempting every trick I've seen posted such as modifying/deleting the hosts file and clearing data.
The only thing I haven't done yet is restore to stock and start over. Is there a reason this is happening to me?

If you have Titanium backup app, open up the app and see if it prompts you to restore your old ID? if it does, then select restore the old ID, phone will reboot and see if that works.

The device in question is an LG Optimus Fuel.
This problem is (hopefully) the very last problem that I have with this phone after I rooted it and deleted too many things without backing them up.
My first problem was exactly the same as the one I have now, with Google Play Store not working. Following the final step on this site...
wccftech . com / fix-no-connection-retry-error-message-on-google-play-store-app
I factory reset the phone. Unfortunately, I deleted some vital apps before this had happened, and had failed to back them up, among them was the home screen, which caused lgsetupwizard to keep shutting down and restarting. To solve that problem, I installed Nova Launcher using ADB.
My next problem was that all Google Play apps wouldn't start. With the store, it would start and immediately crash, with the others, such as books and newsstand, the loading circle would show and never go away. The solution to that was to download all of the Google Apps from an outside source and install them using ADB.
The next thing that happened was that Google+ kept starting on its own and crashing, forcing me to update using the Play Store which of course, wasn't working. The only solution that I could come up with was deleting it.
Now, I have some functionality of the other Google Play apps, with the exception of Google Play Store, which says "Check your connection and try again." which leaves me right back where I started from, except now I have Amazon App Store and F-Droid maintaining all of my non-Google apps.
Knowing that a factory reset is not an option, how do I proceed and get full functionality of the Google Play Store back?
I know this has been asked before, but nothing seems to work. Google play simply refuses to download or update any apps, it says downloading, and the downloading progress bar shows in the notification panel, but the percentage does not come up and no matter how long I wait, it doesn't finish. This is on my mother's Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini, 4.2.2, and unfortunately not rooted (unfortunately meaning I feel the problem would probably be easier to fix with root, haha). It works fine on WiFi, I have even tried to "jump start" it by starting an app download with WiFi, then quickly switching to mobile. I've cleared play data, cache, uninstalled updates, stopped/cleared data for download manager, same with play services + uninstalled updates, forced my current versions of google play and play services onto her phone to ensure she would have the latest version, removed and readded her Google account, tried other apps, restarted the phone multiple times during the uninstallations and clearing data, toggled airplane mode, booted the phone without data after wiping Play data and cache and starting it FIRST with WiFi, then switching to data, hit update/install with airplane mode on to force error 923 (mainly to see if errors could still be triggered, or if the downloading bar would continue to attempt downloading), tried a different Google account, force killed download manager while a download was pending for Google play + relaunched Google play.... I've tried everything I can think of except for a factory reset, which is ridiculously stupid if that's the only solution.
Edit: Things got interesting. As a process of elimination, I used Chrome to download a random image online. Same as Google Play, the downloading bar and arrow showed up, but will not download. Seems the problem lies deeper within the download manager.... on a nonrooted android, what are my choices to fix this?
Edit (again): Finally got download manager to download things online, but google play store seems to "lock it up", meaning when I try to install on the play store, the installation never actually finishes, and afterwards download manager will no longer work online for random images and files. It's as if something is stuck.

Try the following:
Update your phone's firmware.
Update Playstore.
Try clearing cache using Recovery Mode.
Use 3rd party app.
Try updating using a specific custom ROM for your device.
If all else failed. Try Formatting.

Thanks for the tips! I'll give them a go tomorrow
So I was at school and my phone kept popping up that Google Play Services has stopped. It keeps popping up and I cant figure out how to fix it. I tried clearing the Play Services cache and the framework cache but it still keeps doing it, virtually making my phone unusable. Please help.
Do you remember any changes that you made quite recently? Like disabling or uninstalling any system app, for eg. Google XYZ, internet browser, etc.
I got this too, after updating exodus rom
I just installed the Tipsy rom for MM 6.0..and i installed open gapps as well. I cannot get past the setup part of the phone when it first kicks back on after reboot. i am able to sign in on wifi, then system checks for updates, then it asks if i have another device, i say no thanks, then i push next, and i get the "google play services has stopped" message, and i cannot proceed anymore. any suggestions?
Hello everyone,
so this is 100% my fault and I feel stupid for it happening to me....but oh well. It started when I couldn't get into Google Apps anymore. Play store told me I had no network connection, YouTube couldn't get into my account with the same error, even though I was connected to our Wifi and had internet. So classic Google Services issue, and looking up the problem it seemed I had to uninstall Google Play Services and then reinstall them and the problem should be fixed.
Now here is where I went derp and uninstalled the Google Services without looking at it before to know what version I had to install. Okay, no problem, this should be easy to find out. I'm on Android 6 with the recent update we got, CPU is armv7 architecture and the phone is in 480dpi. A quick look at the backup I had from Android 5.1.1 confirmed this, where the last number in the parenthesis was 238. So I downloaded the most recent Google Play services version, 9.0.83, with the 438 number for Android 6, installed it and it keeps crashing. Now I already tried multiple ones, I tried the one for nodpi, I tried the 238 but it all keeps crashing, constantly spamming the "Google Play Services has stopped working" error.
So here I am, at wits end and asking you guys for help. Did I go wrong somewhere along this? What version for the Google Play Services have you guys installed? I completely removed the app each time before installing the new one, removing all leftover data, clearing cache and the dalvik cache but to no avail. Keeps crashing.
1. Backup data trough usb if possible
2. Clean wipe, reinstall rom + gapps = profit

Seems I'll have to do that, yeah. I had hoped I could do it without wiping....but ****
9.0.83 has problem on my OPO. I rolled back to april version and now it is ok.
Play store is supposed to do one thing. To download apps into your phone. And it doesn't.
Whenever I try to download smt, the bar keeps going endlessly, and it says downloading, but nothing happens, like actually downloading the damn thing, or showing percentage progress, nothing. If I pull down the notification bar, it says downloading is paused. Awesome. Things I tried so far and that everybody would other wise suggest I do: Deleted cache and data for Play Store, deleted cache and data for Play services, Deleted cache for Download manager, cleared data and cache for Google Services framework, force stop play store, force stop download manager, rebooting device several times during process, deleting Google account, making new account, Factory reset, reset app preferences (which does nothing btw, I don't even know why it's there), changed from wifi to data etc. The phone is not rooted, the memory is not full.
So the quiestion is: Is it just me or Android started sucking big hairy balls since Lolipop 5.0?
