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.
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
Woke up yesterday morning and I was unable to use any app google or gmail related. Every time I try to open the play store it instantly closes out. "Google" is no longer under the accounts tab in the settings. Can't log into any apps using google because they just crash when I try. Have tried EVERYTHING. Cleared cache and data and uninstalled updates for all google related apps hoping it would help. Nothing. ( yes I tried rebooting it). I have now factory restarted/wiped my phone 3 times and every time I get to the start up wizard I get "verizon location agent has failed" then I get "google play services has failed". Even without completing the startup wizard google and the play store still don't work. Called verizon. Then google. Then Motorola. They couldn't fix anything. Don't know what to do can't use a lot of my apps and I have no contacts just numbers.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. Try going into settings, apps and find Google Play Store Click on it and uninstall updates.
Thread closed.
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?
So yesterday my snapchat stopped working, one thing led to another and i performed a factory reset on my rooted phone. Now i can't even use google play store, when i open it, its just a blank screen. My accounts are not syncing. I installed freedom, as well as lucky patcher. I messed around with the hosts file but i recovered the original one using lucky patcher, after adding the hash in the second line made no difference.
I am desperate to make snapchat work and need my play store back. I have tried EVERY method listed online, the cache clearing force stopping, reinstalling.
I can't even use the google search bar. I can use chrome for google though. And my Gmail is refreshing normally on my phone.
I am very certain that if i dont find a fix i'll be hurling the phone away and breaking it in frustration.
What do i do? I don't think another factory reset will help me here.
EDIT: Sometimes it gets synced, but it still doesn't lead to my google play store working. It is always a blank screen, so is the case for the google search bar. I can't log in snapchat because the server isn't responding/reachable.
