[Completed] Cannot Connect to Google Play After Updating to Lollipop (LG G2) - XDA Assist

So I wasted a good 5 hours trying to get my phone to connect to the Google Play store. It worked perfectly fine up until I decided to update to Lollipop. Thinking that was the problem I tried a bunch of suggestions online like clearing cache of the app and whatnot. Ended up doing a factory reset to see if it fixed the issue and it did not. No matter what account I tried to log into it would always say it could not connect even though I could use the internet fine on the phone. Ended up trying to log into my main email address on my old phone and found it was doing the same thing. I wake up this morning and my brother tells me he hacked in-app purchases on his phone and can get any in-game item that requires real world money purchases for free. After telling him he's an idiot and could possibly get in trouble with the law and his accounts banned I then realized when he took over my Droid RAZR he has always been using my Google Play account because he is too create his own Google account.
Thus leading me to the conclusion that my Google account has been banned from the play store. I've look all around in my e-mail and can't find any signs of it being banned.
Does anyone here know how I can figure out of this is truly the case? Sorry for the wall of text... and thanks in advance!

Hi
Check this thread for list of known Google Play errors and their solutions.

If possible ,try rolling back to older firmware version or reflash newer version to fix any possible firmware errors.
ALso ,you can sign up on forums and post in Q/A section and see if it's a issue related to OTA

error while retrieving information from server. [RPC]

I seem to be having this strange issue with google market.
if I go to my apps, I only (according to play store) 1 app installed which is nit the case. Secondly, play store seems to think I have never purchased an app, eg, I have purchased titanium back up pro, but the store is yet again asking me to buy it at 4.99 where as it would usualy state 'purchased' and download. Secondly on trying to repurchase it states there was an error with the wallet, i then receive 2 emails a charge mail, and a refund message.
when i log in to the the play store on the web, it clearly shows apps that i have purchased in my account history with no price and the word 'purchased' but if I navigate manually, using search, it will state a price and ask me to pay
also i am using the same google account, i only have one.
below is an image of the error
Same problem, after cleaning cache problem disappears with bringing new one, f*&king blank page! No installed apps nor purchased asking me to buy it again. "All apps" tab is empty too. Damn wtf is wrong lol..
what rom are you using buddy?
I have the same problem.
The Google Play Market support could not help yet.
I think it does not matter what ROM on phone, this is a google play bug.
Yea i suppose, but looking on google play, its not under any known issues :/ looks like it may be a while before its fixed.
I contacted the customer support.
They could not solve the problem yet
it seems that the lost connection between Google account and purchased apps.
I sent some screenshots in Google Play support and I hope that the problem will be solved.
I advise you to contact Google Play support: [email protected]
I think if there is a lot of posts about this issue, it will speed up the solution
phew glad to see I"m not the only one. I'm hit with this as well on THREE different androids (one of whom is stock unrooted so its not my fault rofl).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24058132
I have also realized I am not getting application updates. its rare I go 3 days without a single update, maybe its because it thinks I have not purchased any apps lol
Any chances that your phone market local data is not yet synced properly with the google play ? I have seen that my apps (free or paid) is not listed out immediately right after I do a full wipe or flash a new rom with full wipe. But it will eventually show up itself after awhile with data/wifi connections. I personally didn't know how long it required to sync back but eventually they will appear back when I access the market again after I restored my personal data back.
By the way, did you guys try to check your account and performs a manual market sync in the Account settings section ?
yes yes and yes we've tried all the normal market fixes, downgraded market, uninstalled updates etc.
This issue is visible on multiple droids I own (including one unrooted stock) and on web market as well, its definitely server side
I'll check in on this thread too lol. I'm in exactly the same position. No response from google.

It seems not the same problem. This is another google play problem...
This discussion about the problem when the purchased app not in app-list when I trying to download&install app, google play say that the app is not bought.
Google Play thinks I have not purchased any apps.
I noticed that going to play.google.com and trying to install apps that way would give me errors. Trying to view my apps would have a page error. All my apps on my phone are gone, but my tablet has them oddly. Weird!

I have them on my phone and not my tablet! I think it might be related to market version whether or not they disappear device side. Can only assume the newest versions of market/store download the list from the server, rather than locally. Play.google.com doesn't work for me either.

XWLP2 4.0.3 stock for sgs2.. Web site is blank too so not rom related I think.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA
I am also having the same problem after updating to OrDroid 1.7.5 from 1.7.3 hope this is fixed soon so I can install my apps from my backup.
I'm also have issues with my Galaxy S2 and Xoom
Same problem here with my Defy. I'm on CM7.2 Nightly build.
Just started having this problem a few moments ago on my Xoom. Cannot install any apps from the play market from my PC and keep getting server error when trying to access my apps on my xoom. Not checked my Galaxy S II yet... maybe a problem with Google?

RPC:S-5:AEC-0

The Play Store "Error retrieving information from server. RPC:S-5:AEC-0" problem seems to be quite pervasive across a wide range of devices.
In summary, the device suddenly begins to toast the above error message when updating or re-installing paid apps. The "(installed) My Apps" list is sometimes truncated, and the "(all) My Apps" list displays the error message and a retry button. Once it appears, for some users (myself included) even wiping and re-flashing the device won't make the error go away.
I just got off the phone with Play support. Even though I had just flashed my device, they asked me to remove my Play account from system settings, then reconnect it by opening Play and following the prompts. This produced the error.
They then asked me to wipe data on Google Services Framework, reboot the phone, and try to check my apps lists in the Play app. This, also, did not work.
After about 10 minutes I received this message from the Play support representative:
Hello!

AUGH
They've been working on this known issue for almost three months, and there are no workarounds at this time?!? I can recover using a Nandroid but some of my apps require Play authentication ------ is there any way around that?!
Has anyone else found the magic bullet which kills this error dead even when it persists after a device wipe and reflash?!
Getting the error here on 2 asus tf300tg a gs2 and sony mint.

Early on, before I wiped and re-flashed my device, I was able to trick it into working by clicking through the error and trying again, rapid-fire. Eventually that stopped working.
That worked the last few days indeed, but since a hour or 4 5 it's completely broken.

Interesting. I logged into Wallet and changed my default card, then switched accounts in Play, first to another Google account, then back to my regular account. I was able to purchase an app! ........but no joy on the updates.
Would be nice if we could figure out a workaround or steps that we can take like the previous post to rebuild our "corrupt" Google Play accounts. This is definitely a Google server-side issue and has very little (or nothing) to do with our devices. Currently i am unable to access my paid apps (or any previously downloaded free apps) on 3 different devices using my primary Google account. I have spoken with Google tech support (3 times now) and they've acknowledged there is a known issue but currently have no resolution or workaround. This has caused a couple of my paid apps to stop working since the app no longer shows as purchased. This seems to be an issue that has become more prevalent in the past week with more and more people reporting the same problem.
Before anyone tries to offer the standard advice of clearing data for Google Play and Google Framework...or removing and re-adding the Google account...those fixes do not apply for this issue since the account has become corrupted in some form or fashion on Google's servers. In fact, one Google tech suggested that I create a new Google account and contact the developer of each of my paid apps and have them transfer the app to my new account...WHAT??? Unfortunately that may only be the only real viable option at this point for people that have been affected by this obvious bug in Google's system.
Suddenly my updates are working for paid and free apps. *Did someone fix something or is this a fortuitous occurrence?!?

It looks like Google actually fixed the issue with corruption in the Google Play profiles. I noticed my apps were showing up again this morning. Still wasn't recognizing my paid apps...but clearing data on Google Play Store and Google Services Framework and then a reboot fixed that issue. So everything is working on all my devices again and I think my blood pressure is lower now as well

Google may have fixed this problem for some but many still have the same issue.

[Resolved] Play Store 403 Errors

I was going to post this in a device specific forum but it happened on both of my CM 10.2 devices at the same time. This isn't a question so much as how I managed to solve the problem.
I was getting a 403 error and unable to download a lot of updates for some apps. Specifically Lux and 2Do as well as some issues with SkySafari and a number of other paid apps. The error seems to have something to do with apps having been bought on one but not both of my Google accounts. Like many I have a "household" Google account to keep from having to buy one app 6 times or more often subscribe to a magazine or buy a book for every individual in my family.
So, I went around and I did the thing where you remove all of your Google accounts, wipe data on Play Store, Services, and Framework and then add back. I started to have to do that every single time one of the problem apps updated. For Lux I did a test and bought it on both accounts, this cleared up the problem. Not going to happen though, defeats the entire point. Finally on one of my trials I uninstalled the updates to the play store and then cleared the data. Quickly I went in and the updates installed as long as I went into the "My Apps" under "All" and selected the account that actually paid for them.
So, I hope this helps someone before they end up doing the nuclear option and completely formatting a device and starting fresh, trying to get the errors to stop.
For what its worth the Play Store version I finally got to work is v4.3.10 and v4.4.21 (the current version) seems to have some kind of bug where this kind of problem can happen.

Google Play Services Stopping

Google Play Services is continually stopping on ALL of my Android devices. I have searched and done extensive troubleshooting, but have no idea what to try next.
I believe that this issue is somehow related to my Google account. I believe this because:
It happens on all of my devices (unrooted Verizon Galaxy S4, latest 4.4.2 update; 2012 Nexus 7 rooted running latest CM nightly; Android VM in VirtualBox running 4.3)
If I log in to any of my devices with another Google account, the issue does not occur.
I have tried other ROMs, wiping, clearing cache and data, changing my Google account password - honestly, I do not know what is causing this. And to witness it on a VM in VirtualBox with nothing but the OS and GApps was the final straw, causing this post.
The issue is not with the Play Store - it is with Google Play Services. So, anything utilizing Google Play Services (basically, anything Google, and then-some) causes this issue. Hangouts, Maps, Play Store, Music, my RSS reader (D7), etc.
And again, my phone is unrooted, and I've factory reset my phone - it happens as soon as I log in with my Google account, without any apps installed, other than those from the factory ROM. Same can be said for my tablet, and my VM - and my Android VM is as clean as they come.
I am a technical guy, I've been in the IT field professionally for over 15 years, and have been tinkering since I got an Amiga 500 in 1988. I've got some background, and it takes a lot for me to reach out for help because I'm a "fix it myself" type... but I am honestly at my wit's end here.
The only other solution I can see would be to create a new Google account, but that's not really an option, considering I would lose my paid apps, and anything else associated to that account.
Any other ideas or advice is appreciated
PS: I already posted this to the "Assist" forum, but had been asked to repost it here.

i can make a suggestion but after that, i unfortunately wont be able to help you with the results.
you could run a "logcat" when this happens and save it, also grab the last kmessage. please use google on how to do this, im no expert.
but, with those 2 files in hand, try and find someone knowledgeable in interpreting the code, a developer if possible, and they should be able to tell you what is causing the error and if it can be fixed.
alternatively, you could email google, explain your situation, and ask them if you could make a new email and they could transfer your apps because the problem appears to be a glitch in their system. i dont know if they can or will do it, but its worth a try.
hope that gets you headed towards a solution.
logcat is a great idea - thanks! I was considering using something like wireshark to grab the packets being exchanged when the issue occurrs, but then realized that the data is likely encrypted anyway ... but your suggestion is much simpler. When I have a little more time to devote to it (perhaps Saturday morning) I will give that a try on my Nexus 7 or VM.
Regarding e-mailing google - is there a support address I can use to contact google? Everything I "google"'d about it seemed to indicate that was a non-option. I'm open to that, if it's possible.

im really not sure thare is a support email for google. as big as they are i just assumed there would be some sort of support.
if not an email, maybe a page where you insert issues and they reply to you. i would look though one of your account settings thoroughly to see if anything is there.
Well, good news. After putting up with this for 2 months, and submitting probably hundreds of error reports to Google, it looks like my issue has been resolved!
The answer to my problems is Google Play Services 5.0.77. I saw the leak last night and installed it, and no more crashing!
If anyone else ever finds themselves in this situation, may this be the answer to their problems as well. I know that the past two months have been frustrating for me because of this...
Thanks to all who have tried to assist!
