Play Store Issue - General Questions and Answers

See attached.
Anyone ever see this? I have this issue on my CM11 based Nexus 7 and my Galaxy S4. My Acer running the OS seen in my signature is not affected. Both CM threads chase me away stating that this is not a CM issue. I have cleared Play Store app data to no avail.

Is this happening right from the start of Play Store or is it when you try to download a app?

Tap Play Store > Error message
Clearing data/cache did nothing. Installed the 4.6.17 version today, clearing data/cache after, still nothing.

Have you tried visiting internet or used internet in any other application so that we know it's nothing wrong with your internet?
If you have and your internet is working fine but not in Play Store, it could be something wrong with your host file.
Since you are running CM i assume your phone is Rooted.

[Q] Market doesn't want to work anymore :(

I've been messing with my rooted Sanyo Zio, and I removed some system application, and it causes Google Applications to crash frequently. And now I cannot download things from the Market, as it hangs at "Starting Download". Hard reset failed, and I'm lost right now.
Try clearing your recent downloads. How is the zio?

I tried cleared basically all Google based applications' data, and hard reset my phone twice, tried using wifi, turned off the mobile network and then on.
And it's pretty good so far . First android phone, rooted
Google talk services and other google talk stuff, not the actual app, are needed for market and google products to work. Maybe you deleted these?

Think I did, actually. Do you know how I could fix it?
I have been having the same problem with my non-rooted EVO.
I read someplace else others were experiencing the same issue. I just cancel the download and redownload it and then it seems to work.

Reflash the stock rom. I messed up my Huawei Ascend from cricKet and I got the stock rom, and flashed it and it made my phone back to stock like I just got it from the store.

Play Store error -24?

Hey guys,
I got my nexus 5 a couple of weeks back and was very happy about it. I installed all my favorite apps and they just installed fine. Then when I tried to install Apex Launcher ( which is my primary launcher in all my devices), play store gave me error -24. I tried this over and over again but alas! No change. Is this a common problem everyone is experiencing? Is there a possible solution to this (not involving rooting or wiping data)? I have not experienced this problem with any other app.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Night

I tried it and it doesn't work.
Did you try "clear data" button for play store ? It's in the app list. Or you could try remove it in the recent app menu. Error -24 sometimes hits me and that's how I fix it.
Got error in adb

I tried it just now. It doesn't work. I also tried uninstalling all the updates. It doesn't work either.

you didn't follow the post completely, if none of this is working factory reset is your last option.
Will this work?
I just had one last idea. Would flashing the 4.4.2 update via adb fix the problem? If not, I guess its backup and wipe then.

Apps won't download on Lollipop

I just unrooted my N5 and upgraded to Lollipop but now nothing will download. I have tried to download several apps and it acts like it's downloading but it just keeps going. Nothing ever actually downloads. Anyone else having this problem and what do I do?

Clear data of Google Play Store and make sure it gives you the prompt to accept their terms when you open it.
If that doesn't work, reflash factory images.

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?

Rooted Android Oreo - Play Store Payment Crash

Hey folks, I'm currently on the official Android Oreo build with root and noticed, that whenever I want to buy an app the play store crashes. Anyone experienced something similar?

Yes. Unrooted and it crashes with purchases. Tried wiping cache and data for play store. Thinking of doing a factory reset. On Pixel XL.

I had something similar in the past couple of days. Try searching Google on play store and then have a look at any Google apps that need updating, particularly Android system Web view

That is the culprit. Try wiping data and cache in app. Or maybe uninstalling it and reinstalling straight away? I was able to enable it so just suggestions here. Keep trying.

Maybe a coincidence then. Have you tried logging out of your Google account? Or wiping all your account settings and logging in again?

No success again. Is there a way to remove root on the Oreo builds? Couldn't find anything since this topic is pretty new at all. Will fastboot flashing the boot img from the Oreo build be sufficient?

There's nothing wrong with your web view. It's that way by design. It has been since Nougat. By default Nougat and Oreo use Chrome instead of Android System WebView. That's why you can't enable it right now. You can change it so it uses WebView instead in developer options.
Google explains how Chrome will become WebView in Android 7.0

Ever find a solution? I haven't had a chance to factory reset yet, will likely do so this weekend unless an alternative solution exists.

Did a factory reset, didn't help though. Had to reflash the Oreo image. Rooted again and play store works fine now.
