After I installed app2card, the gtalk has gone crazy, it closes immediately on start. I tried "fix FC" of app2card, didn't work. Then tried to re-install data (and later wipe data) from Titanium backup, that didn't work. Only way looks like if I can uninstall and reinstall these apps. If someone is kind enough to pass me corresponding apks, it'll be extremely helpful.
I don't use gtalk much but problem is, in its absence, Market stopped working.
TIA
Hy!
I dont know if it helps you but if you switch to Settings/Software and Activate the "Install Software from Unknown Locations" (Einstellungen/Anwendungen/Unbekannte Quellen) you can install apps from your Browser.....i Used this too because my Market is also dead.....
Unfortunately in that mechanism also the final installation is done by market which is broken for me. My only hope is probably to reinstall stock apps so requesting if someone please post stock gtalkservice.apk Talk.apk Talkprovider.apk?
[Solved]
So gtalk wasn't crashing, it somehow couldn't read my gmail credentials. It'd exit immediately with "ERROR/GTalkService(171): createGTalkConnection: account is null!", and therefore Market etc also wouldn't work. So finally what I had to do is to delete /data/system/accounts.db ... then reboot (wasn't required) and fired gtalk -- and it asked for my google a/c details and started working.

Ok, I had very same issues. I have installed App2SD application as it was explained by this Vietnamese guy on his forum. Then I started the application, made 2 partitions and then moved my apps to SD. It took me couple of tries to do it, but I finally managed to run apps from my SD.
So, after that, since I uninstalled a lot of application before (due to lack of internal memory), I wanted to download many of them from the Market, but I got stucked with "Starting Download" message. So, I started to search for the answers - stopped Market, cleared the cache and data and at one moment I uninstalled Market updates (that was suggested by sombody on some forum). After that, I lost my market application. Then, I reinstalled it from /system/app/Vending.apk, but now it won't start, but it is giving me the message "A server error has occured...". Then, I saw that Market and Gtalk are closely connected (I haven't no idea about it), so I have read somewhere that I should log out from Gtalk and then logged in again. My Gtalk app won't start, but it keeps returning me to home screen. Also, I went to /system/app - but when I wanted to Launch Gtalk - it gives me the message that Activity com.google.android.apps.gtalkservice was not found.
I tried to delete accounts.db as you suggested, but my Terminal Emulator application is not working... Any clues?
EDIT: I uninstalled Terminal Emulator and installed Better Terminal Emulator (because I had it on my laptop) and removed accounts.db. After that I had to recreate the account, but my gtalk works, as well as Market
Since today I'm getting an error (406) when trying to download an app in the play store. Is there a fix for this or does anyone have any idea how to solve this.
Try creating a new google account on your phone with new details and select it in the play store and see if you can download anythang
You could try clearing the cache and data of your market, or you could try removing your googleaccount from your phone and readd it after this.
Does it only occur for one special app?
IMHO the Web server returns a header containing the 406 error code, when detecting that the data it wants to return is not acceptable to the client.
Clearing the cache should solve the problem, if not I found the following:
There was a similar issue in Germany last year (older version of market, but maybe it'll help).
Google-Support described it as follows (translated!):
This error can occur, if you
- Delete the Google account, with which you have logged in your Android phone,
- Reset the phone to factory settings
- You register a new account in your Google Android phone.
This problem does not occur for all users. We investigate the problem and report back to you as soon as we have more information.
Community solution was (sounds funny, but...): starting youtube app --> logging in with your credentials (if logged in, resign and ignore possible error message), reboot (didn't work for all users).
Google solution: Open a ticket with them
In trying to troubleshoot this error myself, I've noticed I get the error when using Wifi for the connection, but everything works fine for using the 3G coverage.
Where I'm at there isn't a 4G connection, but I picked up a few days ago the new HTC Rezound through Verizon. I went to download Angry Birds Space and saw the error. I verified it was for all apps when I tried to download a different game. As mentioned above, the 3G connection works, but Wifi doesn't.
I do have the workaround but would like to figure out why the Wifi isn't working on Google Play. I can surf, use splashtop, and browse Google Play, it's just when I want to install and download that I run into this problem.
I tried clearing out the Google Play cache and that didn't work.
Any other suggestions?

I found some information about an optional Apache module called mod_security. This is a module that acts as an Apache firewall – it blocks a lot of the usual routes that we use to access i.e. websites (this module sends back an error code 406 if you're IP is not allowed to view or download the content you requested).
That could confirm Google's statement regarding opening a ticket with them.
But maybe we're delving into it to much now (hopefully grammatically correct).
There are several ways to limit the sources of the error ourselfs.
1. Can you download the games mentioned above through another wlan?
2. If not, it's time for debugging.
- Which radio, ROM version do you use?
- Did the download work before? (If yes, updated your ROM? Changed
anything else?)
- You can check your requests to Google Play and the according answers
with tcpdump or Wireshark (http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/tcpdump.html or http://gadgetcat.wordpress.com/2011/09/11/tcpdump-on-android/) (1. connection with 3G 2. connection with Wifi)
Which ROM do you both use?
Funny enough, I think it is the Wifi we're allowed to join at our work that is causing the issue.. I went home, connected to my Wifi at home and was able to download just fine. There's a loose firewall of sorts here, that the network guy explained to me, that could potentially be putting the block on downloading from google play (although I can use Splashtop, surf via browser over Wifi, etc).
I guess it makes sense although others on other droid phones are able to download over the wifi just fine.
My phone - non-rooted HTC Rezound
Android 2.3.4
HTC Sense 3.5
Software number 1.02.606.6
Baseband 0.95.00.1017_24, 0.95.00.1013r
I had this problem. I disabled wifi, cleared play store data/cache, opened play store and let it do its thing while on data connection. After that's done, turn on wifi and works again.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
same problem
Have you checked your firewall settings or tried to connect to another wifi? Does it also occur with a 3g connection?
This problem occurs when u have Package Installer or Package Access Helper frozen or deleted. Its a system app and u shouldn do it if you want to keep your access over Google Play store.
You can try to clear cache and data for Google Play store and Google Services Framework and after that restart the device.
This should do the trick, at least for a while...

Thank you!
clearing cache and data solved for me.
I think after rooting and restoring it restored some bogus half downladed apps.
Nexus 4 16gb
Sorry for bringing this thread back up but i am having the same error.
I cleared the data and cache on the Google play store and services and I still can't download any app from the play store what so ever.
I even uninstalled the play store and restored it by reinstalling a gapps package...but still nothing.
Do i need to reflash my ROM?
Any kind of suggestions will help me out.

error 406
Hi Guys. I've rooted my HTC One x ,then did a unroot. Not sure what happened but cannot download from Google play Error 406. Can you kindly help. Thx
There are a gazillion threads on this topic, but most of them are about device-specific or carrier-specific problems. However google play store can stop for a number of reasons that are more generic. Googling them is a pain in the butt, as I recently discovered. This thread is intended as a place to collect them together. As well as checking here, it would be important to check on threads for your specific device and carrier, as they may have pushed a bad version.
Cause: Part-installed apps: something went wrong part-way through installing an app
Checking: Check in google play; if it says 'downloading' or 'installing' permanently, something is amiss
Solution: Try uninstalling the app (you may be able to reinstall it successfully afterward)
Cause: /mnt/sdcard is full
Checking: If you have a terminal, use the "df" command, otherwise use a capable file viewer
Solution: On a terminal, "cd /mnt/sdcard", then "du -s (dirname)" to check sizes, "rm -r (dirname)" to remove something (or use 'mv (dirname) /mnt/external_sd if you have an external sd card with some space). On a file viewer, move or remove relevant directories. You can't avoid this: if your sd card is full, you're definitely going to have to remove something (or move it to your external card) - the system isn't going to work with a full card. USE WITH CARE EITHER WAY. Whatever you remove cannot be retrieved, and removing the wrong thing can make your system or applications misbehave.
Cause: Corrupted data
Checking: Try the solutions in increasing order of severity.
Solution:
Go into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:
Clear cache, Force stop, restart Google Play and retry
Go into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:
Clear data, Force stop, restart Google Play and retry
Go into Settings, then Accounts and Sync, Click on your account, then on options icon, Remove account (ignore warnings - it's easy to restore)
Restart Google Play. It will ask you to add an account - add your original back in.
Cause: Corrupted binaries
Checking: Not sure how...
Solution: Install an updated binary. This thread always seems to have the latest. But you should probably check your device and vendor lists in case there is a device-specific binary (I think the more specific binaries currently just add a different skin, but further information would be good). You may also need to reinstall google play services (thanks jpeg1900)
Or:
"I just reflashed the same gapps in CWM over the first installation, rebooted and had to wait a few minutes before Play Store actually started working again." - Thanks Nephatiu (see below).
Please feel free to add further info below. I'll try to incorporate all good nuggets into this post.
PS anyone know a better way to do tables in this wiki?

Not sure. I had a similar problem at one time, and eventually discovered it was due to a specific app that had only half-installed itself (perhaps the tab had crashed halfway through the download, not sure, it's lost in the mists of time). Uninstalling that app got over the problem. However it might help someone (perhaps you) if you post the error message that you get on the display (people are likely to google it, so that you might get together with other people with the same problem).
I had issues with the Play Store earlier today and tried clearing the app cache and data to no avail, but found another simple fix. I uninstalled updates from version 3.8.15 back to 3.7.15. Worked like a charm.
Well, my Play Store recently crashed during updates, after which it wouldn't run any longer anymore stating that same message every time I try running it and also every time an app accesses the store for information (which seems to happen when I just open the apps). My sdcard wasn't full, clearing data and cache did nothing, no other data is corrupted, I replaced the market with a fresh copy apk, tried different versions, ... Nothing worked... So, reading the internet, I saw the final solution was to remove and re-add my Google account, but for some reason (not a rational one) I didn't really want to do this, so I went back to CWM recovery mode, reflashed the gapps zip I used the first time and rebooted... Once booted it didn't give me the error I usually get on any other boot since it started crashing, but when I tried running Play Store, it crashed again with the same message... Defeated I went to my Google accounts to remove, at which point (just before doing anything) I noticed the Updates-notification of the Play Store popping up in my notification drawer. I tapped it and Play Store booted, everything works again, and it updated itself back to the latest version, still without any problems.
So in short, if you don't ant to read the entire text:
I just reflashed the same gapps in CWM over the first installation, rebooted and had to wait a few minutes before Play Store actually started working again.
Dunno if this will work for anyone of you, 'cause it depends on the reason it's not working, but this possible solution should not be missing from your list since it worked for at least one person (me).

Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3
just download Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3
http://www.androiddrawer.com/11257/download-hotspot-shield-vpn-1-3-app-apk/
and google play store will work again
What does Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3 have to do with Google Play not working?
That is an app which creates a VPN so you can access sites that are locked or not authorized.
Personally I went into Settings than Application Manager, then ALL, then Google Play Store.
After that i cleared all the data, force stopped the app and restarted it again.
It worked nicely.

seems point 3 fixes it for me, but as soon as im back on the play store and starting to download something it just starts over again with the error message. Any ideas?
Not even sure how to describe this one..
Hardware: ASUS ME301T (MeMo Smart Pad 10)
Version: 4.2.1 (10.6.1.29, but it was happening on 10.6.1.25 as well)
Rooted, SuperSU installed for the multi-user support. Aside from that, the device is stock.
Play Store: 4.1.6 (4.0.something factory)
Setup:
2 users
Primary user has 2 Google accounts+FB account
Secondary user has a single Google account
Problem:
I have 43 apps installed on the primary user. If I install even 1 more, the app crashes when trying to load the list of installed apps. Doesn't seem to matter what the 44th app is. Uninstall it to drop it back to 43 and it works just fine again. Secondary user is at 46 and no issues. I've tried removing both Google accounts, clearing data+cache of the store, DMClient, and Download Manager, as well as removing the store updates. Nothing has worked. The only things left I can think of is trying to update the store manually via newer apk or a factory reset. I don't know what, if anything, ASUS changed in the store, as the installed size reports 10.46mb or so. Also want to avoid a reset for obvious pain-in-the-arse related reasons.
Any ideas?
I ran into a similar problem. After reading this thread, i tried a few of the suggestions. What ended up working for me was to go to the application manager, got to google play store, uninstall updates, and re install the factory version. Did the same for google play services.
same problem with 4.3.1.1
using a custom rom (LiquidSmooth) on a Galaxy Note II (N7100) international.
went through all the removing\reinstalling\clear cache tricks.. same error pops up every time i try to open the store, and sometimes just as a background process.
not sure if re-flashing will help... (cleared cache and dalvik too).
thoughts..?

No good ones, but just wondering - is there any possibility it's the 43rd app that is the root of the problem? Perhaps its data is corrupted in play's database, and adding another app reveals the problem.

Just in case you didn't try it, jpeg1900's suggestion of reinstalling google play services (rather than just google play) might be relevant here, in light of it crashing as a background process.

Is this a bugs?? On note 3 original rom play store version 4.5.10 also has this problem, sometimes clear data on download manager / play service / play store can help, sometimes there is no choice, I remove gmail account and sign in again can help...
Why does this happen? Did google give any answer?
helpful topic
i found this very helpful.. thnks
remove account and work well, after few days the same problem occur again!!!! What happen to android? is it need to wait new google play new update?
I broke it!!!
after trying all the processes, several times
I am running Paranoid Android ROM and just wondered if changing hybrid profile of Google play store was contributing to app crashing?!?
note: I was able to open app but from opening menu could not go into any individual tabs (I.e. "apps") without crashing...
Changing hybrid settings back to lower DPI fixed issue and I have just set to the maximum DPI before app starts crashing
hope this helps others

If your problem is due to google sites being blocked by a firewall (your company's, your ISP's, your country's, or whatever) this may be helpful. Be aware that you will need a site on the other end, outside the firewall, to route your google play communications.
If that's not your problem, this solution won't help.
Usually you will know - only a few countries block google, it's highly unlikely that a commercial ISP would, and you will know whether you are trying to do updates on your company's network.
There's a host file in system-etc- delete that file and reboot your phone and see if that works..

Hey all!
I have been reading about that 403 Play Store error that pops up every time you are trying to download an application but I didn't manage to find a solution yet. I didn't wanna also bump old threads that have written about this issue,because most of the stuff mentioned there I have already tried them...I am an owner of a Huawei Ascend Y300 and am trying to download apps from my home network wifi.
So here's what I have done..Since I first experienced it I tried to clear my play store cache in settings,forced stop/clear data in google service framework while all these were done under airplane mode just in case. I also tried to clear my google accounts,try entering alternatives google details (total of 3 accounts with my main one) and none of them managed to download any apps while i was logged in with it in play store. I have also checked my APN settings and my proxy server is at "Not Set". Also tried to clear search history in Play Store just in case again there's an issue. I read also in various threads/sites that this begins after you purchase a paid app from the store? I never bought something, I haven't even linked my card details with it. I wasn't able to download any app from my pc too as well. In the end I desperately proceeded for a factory data reset and I lost all remaining apps I had already installed and the error would would still be there saying hi to me every morning..
Any suggestions on that matter,cause I am reading various stuff,tried everything I read and I nothing so far.
Thanks in advance

Are you rooted? It sounds like your ROM maybe could have had a bad file. I'd re-download the ROM, check the md5 hash, install ROM and try from there. If all else fails, you could try installing Market Unlocker and changing from one market, then back to another.
I believe that the Freedom app can also cause errors like this, so if you have ever used that, this is also a possibility. If you have used Freedom, reinstall it, click start service, then stop it, then uninstall.
Force stop, Clear data and cache for :
-Google Play Store,
-Google Service Framework
-Download Manager
be sure that those services are not inactive!

No I am not rooted. I haven't tried rooting any phones I had although I was thinking doing that soon enough to my current one just to experiment myself with it. Should I root my phone and try troubleshooting that way? I don't know what doors open in front of me with this though and if I will solve anything, so any suggestions are welcome

Yeah I forgot to say that I forced stopped Download Manager before along with the first two.I have already done that and it doesn't seem to work..
I've been reading threads on this problem, have done everything I could find to try (including factory reset, reinstall 4.1.2 stock, install cm 10.2.1 and upgraded to 4.3 stock).
I cannot get google play to work. It fails immediately with No Connection (Retry). Occasionally, I get "Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped".
I've checked date/time, repartitioned with the PIT file, tried various ROMs, enabled/disabled download manager, google play, GSF, deleted my google account, tried creating a completely new account, wiped all my application data, installed/uninstalled various gapps versions, tried Market Enabler, proxying, deleting /etc/hosts, mounting /system as r/w. I've watched all the "100% guaranteed fix!" videos and searched for threads here, reddit, and other places.
I'm at the point now where reading a new or existing thread can take hours and produce no new insight, so I'm posting a completely new one.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I can get almost everything I need via apk, or amazon and samsung app stores. What have I not tried? What could be persisting over several different ROM installs, repartitioning, re-stocking and upgrading to 4.3. I swrz I've had it stripped down to the metal, almost, and it still won't work. It makes me wonder if somehow my IMEI or MAC address is blacklisted or something. Oh, yeah, I've got a new GSF id each time I reprovisioned, so it's not a blocked GSF id. I'd like to get my old gsf ID back, but to do that I need Titanium pro -- which I need google play to re-download my paid copy
Um... google maps works, gmail works, google play magazines and samsung hub work (until I try to download something, and it goes to google play). I've turned off two-step verification on google+ settings too.

I've checked date/time, repartitioned with the PIT file, tried various ROMs, enabled/disabled download manager, google play, GSF, deleted my google account, tried creating a completely new account, wiped all my application data, installed/uninstalled various gapps versions, tried Market Enabler, proxying, deleting /etc/hosts, mounting /system as r/w. I've watched all the "100% guaranteed fix!" videos and searched for threads here, reddit, and other places.
I'm at the point now where reading a new or existing thread can take hours and produce no new insight, so I'm posting a completely new one.
Does anyone have any insight on this? I can get almost everything I need via apk, or amazon and samsung app stores. What have I not tried? What could be persisting over several different ROM installs, repartitioning, re-stocking and upgrading to 4.3. I swrz I've had it stripped down to the metal, almost, and it still won't work. It makes me wonder if somehow my IMEI or MAC address is blacklisted or something. Oh, yeah, I've got a new GSF id each time I reprovisioned, so it's not a blocked GSF id. I'd like to get my old gsf ID back, but to do that I need Titanium pro -- which I need google play to re-download my paid copy
Um... google maps works, gmail works, google play magazines and samsung hub work (until I try to download something, and it goes to google play). I've turned off two-step verification on google+ settings too.

I am assuming when you factory reset you didn't delete the actual app "data" which would have fixed the problem, or you have a sync or backup replacing the problematic data. Luckily all you have to do which should fix it is to go into application manager and clear all data related to the Google Play/Google Play services apps. (Cache, updates, etc) You may have to do the same to the Youtube app because for the STRANGEST REASON beyond my comprehension that was causing some sign in problems for the Play Store...
Once that's taken care of, try to sign in and download an app.
Hope this works for you!
