Google Play Store App not working in my new Nexus

Hello All,
It might seems funny, but I am struggling with my first ever android (Samsung Nexus) that i bought 4 days back (In Netherlands, Simlock free, without any contract) but I am unable to launch even Google Play Store App on it.
I don't have any default store app ,so i tried to install multiple version of Google Play App, so that I can access and download apps, but every time when I pressed the icon it blink for a moment and then nothing happens. I tried to clear data, restarted cell multiple times, but no luck. Please help how can I access Google play app or android market to download app.
i am stuck with it for a long time now. Request all experts to help me so that I can fully utilized my new nexus.

Have you tried uninstalling and re installing Play Store?

Yes, I tried multiple version of Google Play Store App and also clear the data from Setting-->Apps section..still not able to solve it.

Which version of Android are you running and are you rooted?

Reinstall Android 4.0.3. There is a thread out here with the link to the full signed rom. You can install it from stock recovery

In my ABOUT PHONE : full maguro 4.0.1 icl23d 288 test keys
I believe that is a test build and not a regular unit for retail customer so It's not equipped with Google apps.
Anyways, I am going to store to get either new unit or any fix for the same, but if anyone here already faced this kind of issue and can provide me any guidance, it will be good help.

You re in the wrong thread... try galaxy nexus forum. This is nexus s.

[Q] theme factory???

Hey, this mabye a stupid question but i have recently created a theme on golaunchers theme factory and downloaded the apk am i allowed to put it on google play store?
Answers are much appreciated, thanks!

I don't think it's as simple as that.
I think that before you upload an app/theme/anything on the playstore you must register a developer account and pay a fee first.

Thanks, but I know about the developers account, it just that I wanted to know if they allow users to put their themes on the play store.
i.e. commercial use of theme factory

Without registering at Google play by giving fee,you may not upload any app.
Try uploading it on third party markets like amazon,getjar,appzoom etc... and give link for others.:thumbup:

Are you running the stock rom? And you may want to try and flash the gap's pack for your correct android version?

You can get better support if you become more specific. For example, what's your device, Android version. Did the rooting zip package contain any file which affected the Google Play Store? Try replacing the Play Store with another version using System Apps Installer. This app can be found on the web, since your Play Store is not working.

Verizon disables PayPal fingerprint payment

Can anyone confirm this?
http://www.techtimes.com/articles/5517/20140413/verizon-disables-paypal-fingerprint-payment-support-in-addition-to-download-booster-in-samsung-galaxy-s5.htm
This is now working, follow the directions in THIS POST

Where did you get the source?

Um, from the link I posted? Here's another, mentioned from the previous link.
http://www.droid-life.com/2014/04/11/verizon-disabled-paypal-fingerprint-support-on-the-galaxy-s5-google-wallet-works-though/

Well - I downloaded and installed just to see. The only log in options are "Email and Password" or "Mobile phone and PIN". I don't see fingerprint as an option anywhere....

It has apparently been hacked, so perhaps for the better.

Yes. you are right.
From 3 days ago..
PayPal announced that its fingerprint-based authentication system was live in 25 countries. Users will be able to authenticate their digital purchases on PayPal by swiping down on the home button. The idea is a novel way of extending the functionality offered by the fingerprint sensor. However, it looks like all carriers are not going to have this feature enabled. Droid-Life discovered that the PayPal authentication feature was disabled in Verizon’s version of the Galaxy S5. It is unclear as to why Verizon would disable this functionality, given that it is the only carrier who seems to have removed this feature. users trying to install a fingerrint-based authentication client on Verizon’s Galaxy S5 are being shown a message that says “this application will not work on your device.”"

Accessing the stock "Samsung Apps" through the "Galaxy App" widget directs to a completely different, unsearchable store. Why why why Samsung? See Attached screenshots (one searchable, one not)
To clarify the steps that I used to install Paypal, and link fingerprinter verification to it,
1> To get an actual searchable Samsung App Store, download the "Samsung Apps Mobile" from the phone via www.samsungapps.com or HERE (This BS is what was holding me up)
2> Install the PayPal app via the Samsung App Store (first uninstall the Paypal app if previously installed via Google Play Store)
3> Search and install NNL from the Samsung App Store
4> Open Paypal>Settings>Login Options>Register Fingerprint.
Not sure if this is going to work, but here are some backup .apk's I just made from my phone, and put em on Google Drive.
Searchable Samsung App Store APK
PayPal App from the Samsung Apps Store
Nok Nok NNL app

Great... Step by step. It's succeed.. :good::good:

Just got done doing this. I can confirm this worked on my Verizon s5! Thanks!

Did NNL find a way around it not working or did Verizon change their minds?

I wouldn't hold your breath on getting an explanation as to why it seemed clearly being blocked before, but a work around is now available. I never personally observed an active blocking to install the NNL app as documented on several sites, I simply wasn't able to search for the app that ties the fingerprint function to Paypal, and by the time I found the NNL app in the Samsung App store(not found in Google Play Store), I ran into no problems installing it.

Yes it works perfectly.

Can anyone post the apk of the PayPal app and nnl app of the
Samsung app store?
Thanks

Open either of the links this post, FROM YOUR PHONE, and you'll be directed to where you can install the Samsung Apps store. Then from that installed Samsung App Store, you'll be able to search for both Paypal and NNL, and install the apps. Both apps need to be installed from the Samsung store, NOT Google Play.
Or if you prefer, HERE is a link to the Samsung App Store apk on my Google Drive. You may need to enable "unknown sources" in Settings>Security first.

Thanks for the reply but I haven't a usa account in samsung app
Store
For this reason I need the apk

Your best bet would be to peruse the TMobile S5 threads, and find someone willing to backup the apk from their rooted S5, and see if you can download and install it. If you can, I'm sure many more would be grateful if you can then post a link over here too. Thanks
I updated the install instructions post HERE. I was able to create installable backup apk's from my Verizon phone of the apps needed, and host em on Google Drive.

Thanks

So T-Mobile S5 is rooted? And why we are not?

Worked!
This worked. Thanks!

Thank you! Works great.

[Completed] Illegal apps, download from Google play store

Please i downloaded an app from another source, although it is a paid app in Google play store, i couldn't afford the money so i had to look for another means to get the apps. After i installed the app, instead of it to be serving its purpose, it shows me this
"you downloaded illegal, please uninstall it and purchase the app via below link"
Is there a way i can make it to work on my phone please??

I'm sorry but xda is a developers site run by developers and illegal apps directly affect them so we can not help you
Thanks for understanding
