[Q] Issues with Google Play

Hello,
I am looking for some asisstance - and in a hurry because i am trying to get my tablet updated before i leave on a flight tomorrow and this is driving me insane.
I have a p5113 with CM10.1 installed on my tablet. (for p5110). I cannot download anything from the google play store -- can't update apps, nothing. I have tried reinstalling two different roms to see if that was the issue, I've cleared the data from the google service framework, google play store, google play services, downloads, download manager and then rebooting. I've tried two different networks.
I can download other .apks normal, and I can use my browser just fine.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Would going back to stock even help? I tried going to stable releases, but that didn't work either.

Go to settings, remove google account. Then Try wiping the data for google play services and google play again. Then reboot to recovery. Wipe cache and dalvik cache. Reboot and see if it works. Btw when you flshed your gapps did you verify the md5 first?

I had not checked the md5, but i just did and all is well with the md5. (never knew how! learn something new everyday ) I'm trying things in that order that you listed again. I think I did, but I may have missed a step.

it did go through a different screen that said 'android is upgrading', and it was updating 86 apps, but to no avail, nothing had changed. i checked the md5's for both files (the cm file and the gapps file) and everything checked out fine.
would a restore do anything?

I think I may have pinpointed the issue.
So my phone updates fine on 3g, but when i switch to wifi, it doesn't work. It does the same thing as tablet.
I read something on a website about about there being issues for someone as a DNS problem.
The only thing is that when I tried to use my phone as a hotspot using 3G, it still didn't work on my tablet.
arrrggg i don't know. restore didn't work.

[Q] Never Works

So I've been trying to install CM10 on my Verizon Galaxy S3 and after the past 5 times, it will never fully work. I've been flashing gapps like everyone says and still nothing. Each time I will restore my apps+data with Titanium Backup Pro and while it does restore, none of my media elements will work. My contacts do not work, cannot open my gallery and so on. This is quite frustrating because I would really like to use CyanogenMod. I do the standard wipe data/factory rest every time before I try and flash the ROM again and still nothing. Any insight on my problem would be greatly appreciated. If you need any more info on how I've been going about all this just ask.

Have you checked the md5? If so, you might want to try a fresh install of the apps instead of a TiBu backup.

How would I go about checking the MD5 file. I know what it is of course but I'm just foggy on how to check it. And do you mean a fresh install with flashing gapps then using my Play Store account to just re download them?

Hashdroid in the market can check your MD5. Yes he meant let the play store reinstall your apps or do it manually yourself through the play store.

[Q] Play Store Error on Lollipop

I'm running DH's Lollipop ROM and the Play store has been giving me -505 errors when I try to install certain applications. It is not during the download period, just when the app attempts to install itself. This happens with APKs as well. Is it an issue of Lollipop compatibility? I'm trying to download Chronus in particular.

Make sure that you did a clean install of the rom. If you were in TWRP there is a advanced wiping tab. Try wiping internal data (that does not wipe external sd card). This is probably a fix. If using some other recovery it should come with a similar feature. Hope this helped

Thanks, I tried that but still no luck so I just restored a nandroid. I've been digging around the N5 forums because they've had Lollipop for a while and it looks like it's a common thing with 5.0.

I had the same issue. Just curious, but did you try and use Titanium Backup at all? I did, and it failed. Must have broke something. A clean flash did the trick for me.

I had the same issue but only with apps that I attempted to restore with Titanium. I had to do a full data wipe and reflash to be able to install those apps again.

Yea I did and it just hangs up on that restore until I FC the app and deselect from restore. With the ROM I'm using Chronus (for example) is an optionally app to be installed and it installs that way but isn't the most up to date version and the update from the Play Store doesn't install either. Weird issues for sure.

Clean flash Lollipop and DO NOT use TiBu. It must not be fully working on 5.9 yet. I had the exact same thing happen. Just let Google restore your apps.

I have flashed the ROM and love it except this issue that I am also experiencing. I also have TiBu but did not use it for the app restore. Rather I used Google Play and it failed to install Any.do. I have tried manually and read extensively online and the problem appears to be related to Adobe air not being Lollipop compatible. I finally email Anydo and they are aware of the issue and are providing me with a link to their upcoming lollipop beta. My point is I don't believe reflashing, re-restoring, or rummaging around in the data/data folder will fix the 505 error.

After reading further I decided to uninstall ALL Task apps, which included Chaos-Control. I was then able to install Any.DO. It was a permission issue and it conflicted with Chaos-Control. Lollipop is confusing app permissions. Find the like app, uninstall, and then install the app you want. That worked for me.

I would love to see some pictures of that rom!
I'm interested in installing that rom but not sure
Greets

Update: After allowing the phone to settle and updates Apps ran into quite an issue. Google Play Services crashes non-stop. Hangouts crashes when attempting to open any conversation type. Essentially 9/10 apps failed within a few minutes or immediate usage. I did all the obvious things like clear cache, reboot, clear delvik, reboot, etc. Even non-dependant apps like XDA were crashing. Its a really good start. Lollipop looks beautiful. I really cant wait for this to be a daily driver. Went back to CM11-M12.
I did back it up after it was installed so if you need any version numbers etc I can hop back into it and help you debug some things.
Just installed this. Everything regarding the install went fine. Am currently restoring apps but will keep this thread updated on how everything goes, usage, bugs, etc.
One Mini, S-OFF, Hboot 2.21, Unlocked, ATT

I flashed according to directions listed above and it installed fine.
My problem is that I couldn't make phone calls. I could receive calls but if I tried calling out, I got a "call not sent" error. I was able to get it working off and on by removing/reinserting my sim card (T-Mobile) and forcing it to register with the network.
I noticed it became more sluggish over the day and like someone else mentioned, some of the apps would either fc or android would restart completely.
It's beautiful when it's working....I'm definitely onboard once it's ready! :fingers-crossed::good:

call not sent is cm 12 based rom issue .

I should have been a bit more thorough. I use Hangouts+Google Voice and I didn't even attempt to use the native dialer.

i didn't had FC on google play service and hangout works fine for me after a clean install, try to do clean istall with 2.8.1.1 TWRP recovry and report ... i will retry from my side too

Thanks, going to try this
Defo can't wait for stable version (and hopefully the sense version after some months)
Edit: yep, rebooting and slowdowns already happening 1 hour after installing.

Uh...What makes you think I didn't do a clean install? Wiped everything three times in a row. Formatted data even before I installed. Including internal storage. And my TWRP is the latest.
I understand you supposedly don't have issues, however a poster above me confirms he/she also suffered from FCs all over the place and calls not being sent.
I don't really think your post adds anything to the conversation. If you're having zero problems it would be better to inform us of how you achieved that end result rather than assuming my install wasn't clean.
This is not my first rodeo. I've been at this since the first Gnex. So when I see posts that make assumptions and don't actually add to the conversation and go against what the trending census appears to be I get a little sensitive.
You're clearly in the minority as more have reported so far of having problems with FCs and calls not sending than not.
So give us your setup. Give us the steps you took when installing to receive the same end result. Rather than making baseless assumptions and adding noise to the thread.

hello Mattplo my intention was to help, I'm not a pro . you are a little aggressive in your reply.
so the steps are :
Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)
Flash Candy5.zip
wipe cache and dalvik cache.
reboot the phone
after first boot flash Gapps.
One Mini, S-OFF, Hboot 2.22, Unlocked.

@malikou, I understand your intention was to help. However it was anything but helpful. Let's keep the assumptions to a low.
Your install procedure it identical for the most part as mine. However I also wiped internal storage and moved over the files via ADB and md5sum them. Obviously I did factory reset x3 and then manually wiped x3. As this is IMO the best way to do things. Its a bit anal but ice been around a long time and this method never fails to get a good wipe.
Might I remind you that this ROM worked flawlessly. Until I allowed apps to upgrade. I.e. Google Play Services, Maps, Hangouts etc.
This is when things began to fail miserably. After the updates.
I then proceeded to wipe cache(in storage) reboot to recovery, wipe dlvik wipe cache, reboot. Same end result. Apps are no stable. Calls can not be made along with the camera being really underperforming.
I'm glad you've managed to install a flawlessly working system, however others of us can't.
Did you update google play services? Maps, hangouts etc

Did you update your devices applications, including, Play Store, Play Services etc, and then try to use your phone normally? Further more are you able to make phone calls via native dialer without them failing?
You seem to have some unicorn install that others can't obtain. Or you're not exactly being genuine.
On a straight clean install this rom works perfectly. Minus the outgoing cals issue which is just a known fact/bug. However once the user updates key components like Google Play Services, The App store, etc everything goes to ****.

Have just installed as per OP and so far so good not yet experiencing call or fc problems,I noticed that the phone was like starting with a new out of the box once the ROM was installed so I think if you don't get this you need to re do a CLEAN install.
Thanks for the work and delivering this ROM
I will update if I get issues but nso far all is looking good

Really....so you dint actually read the thread. You just like the last guy, jumped "du clean install makes world perfect!!111 great ROM!!!111"
Allow me to reiterate: Advaned wipe+delvik, cache, system, data, internal storage. Now rinse and repeat that twice which should equate to 3xs.
Now for added benefit I did "Format Data", twice. I then porceesed to move over Candy5 ROM with the gapps linked to directly from parents thread.
Installed all three back to back. ROM first, flash gapps, flash susperu. Then wipe delvik cache along with cache and reboot.
Now mind you, I moved all these files over ADB once I was fully formatted and then ran an md5sum against them to match. They matched flawlessly.
End result = unstable applications after updating play services and play store. These apps range from Instagram to XDA, from Maps to Hangouts. And native call dialer doesn't work.
Noe I'm sure the next post will ve some other random stoog saying " omg! ROM works so well!!!11 do Clean install perfect!!!". Or something to that affect.
But thanks anyway.

I really don't mind hopping back into Candy5 for a short time to get some stats. However I rely on double tap yo wake and I use my back button(long press=go to sleep, don't be tap back key components=recent, double tap home =menu, tap home =home, long press home =google now.
Seeing as candy5 doesn't allow me to do any of that due to no exposed installer. Until these are implemented Candy5 won't be my daily driver. But I will hop in and out of it for testing. Oh and capacitive logo button support+overclocking would be a dream come true. I'd ditch CM in a heartbeat.

Facebook not able to install, error -504

Hey guys and gals I've been fighting with this issue for a while and can't seem to find a way to fix it. I'm running the newest nightly for CM12 via safestrap and I've done a complete wipe and fresh install and I still can't install facebook. Tried clearing the data and cache from the google apps that were recommended via other threads.
This morning I did an entire wipe, installed stock, rooted, installed Facebook successfully, then installed Safestrap, made a new slot, installed CM, and facebook fails on install. Tried installing via Playstore as well as manually with the APK and both fail basically the same way though when doing the APK it doesn't give the 504 error.
So I'm hoping someone out there has another idea of something to try, in the interim I've been running Facebook lite, which works but notifications are unstable for me. It would be easier if I could run the normal app but it's been fighting me at every turn.
Thanks
Luke

Did you try pasting the .APK directly in /data/app and setting appropriate permissions?

Alright I figured I'd come back to this since I did end up finding a solution. I didn't try pasting the APK direct since I had read of some issues with guys doing that and having to wipe the device and I didn't want to have to do that. So I ended up using Titanium backup to backup the copy from the stock rom install that was working, and then restore it into the CM12 install and it worked. Wouldn't update via Play Store but it did work to get a functional install.
So if other guys find this thread down the road, this might be a way to make it work.
Take care!
Luke

I don't know why it wasn't working when you tried to install the apk, but sometimes happened to me something similar. I wasn't able to install any app from the PS, it always trow me an error, I don't remember the exact number, but if it wasn't 504, is really close. The only workaround was to delete my Google account and format data, and when it turned on I skipped the Google first startup wizard and went straight to the play store, and when it prompted to log on, I did and worked flawless. Glad to know that you already fixed it, but this workaround may help someone else
