So recently, for some reason, my Android Market has stopped displaying all apps in the "My Apps" section. I get this message on the "My Apps" section, " Apps and games owned by this account will appear here." I'll post a screen shot of the error if the need be. I've tried lots of things. I've cleared the app data through settings, I've gone as far as to completely wipe the phone, formatting the entire thing and restarting from scratch. My apps were displayed under "My Apps" For about 25mins and as I was reinstalling them, it happened again. I went back and removed the last few apps that I had installed to no avail. I've changed ROMS to see if that would fix it and still same things. It appears to have something to do with my google account. I've read that there is no way to remove a phone and start over as far as your google account tied to it. You can only hide them. I'm at a lose. I can still search and install apps from the market, and it even updates those apps online in the market. But I can view them on my phone to see if they have updates or to uninstall through the market. Hopefully someone can help! I'm exhausted from wiping and reinstalling. I thought it may have something to do with my TB I was restoring so I went through and manually added each app back ( ALL 127 OF THEM) And after about 30, same error. Thanks is advance.
Have you tried Market Fix in Titanium Backup (Menu>Market Tools). Try Market Doctor and if that fails, Destroy all links and try Market Doctor again.
Thanks for the reply. I do not have the pro version of TB to try that. But if I'm sure it'll work, I can swing the money to get it. But there's a another piece to this puzzle. Yesterday at work I was given a new phone. A Droid Incredible 2. I logged into my Gmail account and installed a few apps that I needed, and about 2 hours in. I'm getting he same error on that phone as well. Could here be a problem with my Gmail account? I'm just not sure if running TB pro on one phone is gonna fix both.

Hi there, I did a quick forum search and there are numerous threads about this problem. I haven't read through them all (as I don't have the problem ).

I too ran into a simiar problem over the last couple days. I looked into it through Help and it said the were no longer allowing Dev Phones to download copy written apps to keep the illegal reverse engineering and the breaking down of the apps to build similar apps without the rights from the owner/ dev of those apps. I even recieved a notice saying that an app that I paid for was no longer available to me, and to contact the Dev for a refund. W.T.F. ??

I've read just about everything I can find on this subject and have yet to find a solution. I am not sure if this is phone specific and since this is my first post, I figured I'd try the general QA forum. So here goes:
This all started when I was looking to unlock my SIM for an upcoming trip to Costa Rica. I have a stock ROM Firmware version 2.2.1. in a Samsung Infuse 4G. I had some other things in mind for later like flashing to a custom ROM, but I wanted to get some of the junk off the phone and get the SIM unlocked first. So feeling a little frisky with the uninstaller of TB, I started getting rid of some of what I thought may have been bloatware....family maps, google books, bar code reader, etc. I don't remember now if play store was one of those apps. I really don't believe I did uninstall it. If it was questionable in any way, I left it installed. But who would care right? I had the whole phone backed up.
Ok, so I see that I needed to be rooted for this. So I followed some QBking77 tutorials on YT. Got the superoneclick application and got it rooted with no problem. Then, I followed the suggestion to get Titanium Backup. I bought the paid version and did an entire backup. In the meantime, superuser updated itself and everything seemed fine. I shut the phone down and came back some hours later to attempt an unlock. After boot, I started TBackup and it was hanging on a message saying searching for license. I restarted the app and it kept hanging. It finally gave me a message to reinstall the Pro version key. Well, I uninstalled it...not knowing any better....and then could not download it from the store. The store still had these apps showing installed and purchased. This is when I began seeing the force close of Play Store app.
Ok...I'm trying to provide detail here and this is why it is so long winded. But I began looking for solutions to this issue all over the place. I saw the solutions to clear the cache and data and force close the app...reboot the phone. That didn't work. I found apk google store files and began trying to install those to the SD card. That wouldn't work. So now I got the big idea to reset to factory. I did that twice and that didn't work. Tried repeating all the suggested solutions after factory reset. That didn't work. I ended up losing my backup from before. So what's left?
I figured I would try to flash the ROM now and get a fresh start with a new OS. Well, it turns out that many of the apps I need like root explorer, need the paid version to modify the recovery files. So I found an app called file expert that is free, but I need to have a paid version to modify root files. I also saw a solution to google play which involved putting the apk file in system/apps. But it won't let me do that either without a paid version.
So I'm stuck and very frustrated. I'm caught in this never ending loop where the files I need require google play to purchase and I can't do anything to get it working.
I don't know if I'm posting in the right forum. I'm all tense about asking questions. But I'm really at the end of my rope here. I probably screwed something up without knowing it. But I see that there are alot of complaints with this force close. But many of those complaints seem to be getting resolved. The last thing I tried was to download vending 3.5.16.apk I've been putting these files on my internal SD card and trying to install from there. This is very frustrating. And it even gets more frustrating when you see the solutions can be to download something from the market. If I could do that, I wouldn't be typing this.
I apologize if this is in the wrong forum. And if you want me to take it somewhere else, I will. But I'm at a point right now where I don't care who yells at me. I'm desperate.
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: And just to clarify, everything else seems to be working. I tried all the google apps (maps, gmail, etc.) My phone works, wifi, camera, etc. I get notifications of updates....and when I accept (or when it's an auto update), google play store starts and force closes. But other than that, the phone seems to have all it's functionality intact. And now, if I go to the store via my pc, it shows all my prvious app history including installs and purchases, but says I have no device.

Try fixing permissions (recovery mode)
i also faced this problem but i fixed it easily!!
go to setting
then select application
after that choose manage application
select the tab "all"
there select the play store
first clear the data as well as cache then give it a try
if still doesnt work
go to setting
then select application
after that choose manage application
select the tab "all"
there select the play store
select uninstall update
and finally ur android market would work!!!!
Get ES file explorer.apk It works like rom manager but completely free. Start there,one of the solutions will work. Also,if you still have titanium backup folder still in your SD card,put the FREE version of the app and see if it'll find your backup. Good luck.

Keeping within the guidlines of the forum....I want to say "Thanks" to everyone for the responses.
In a haste, I found the vid on youtube that showed the Odin method of reverting back to stock/unbrick. This is what worked for me. I did something stupid with Titanium Backup (I think) and that's what got me into trouble.
All is (still) well, I'm re-rooted with unlock code and got all the apps needed for a flash. I'm reading up on ROM flashing to hopefully get a handle on it. Thinking of trying Zues. Just a little unsure of this backup business....like where to put the backups....my pc?
But with all sincerity....again, thanks for the responses.
I do a double backup,nandroid and titanium. But,you're welcome.

I have got a solution!
OK, Perhaps you don't want to see a person who has had a solution, Huh. Doesn't matter....
Here's what happened to me: I has updating my Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S to android 4.0.4 and after doing so found my Google Play Store force closing every time I tried to turn it on. Fortunately, (or perhaps not so fortunately) I had encountered the exact problem before and spent one painful month mulling other the dull fact that it didn't work. When I plucked up the courage to try and fix I found that uninstalling the updates which can be found in Settings > Applications or apps > Manage applications > (locating Google Play Store located under All) Google Play Store > Uninstall updates.
So when I tried to do the same this time, IT DIDN'T WORK. What I gradually found out what I had done was uninstalled Google Play Store because as I had recently updated my whole device, it had worked it's magic on the Play Store. After what seemed like hours getting worked up into a frenzy and searching the web, I found a download link that downloaded the play store back on to my device:
I'm not allowed to write links so on your mobile device search for 4shared and then write Google Play Store.apk into the toolbar making sure the subsection selection is under files (you'll understand once your on the site). You want to pick the one which has the developers name: xurupita_zorro
(Its more convenient to download Google Play Store from your phones inbuilt browser as you wont have to muck around with files... Also, the link requires you to sign up, but I would suggest that you do because it lets you download games and apps for free... but that's irrelevant.
Anyhow, you could always try and download it elsewhere.
Then I opened it up and realised that it too was force closing, and of course you cant install updates on a Google Play Store which never updated. TROLOLOLOLO, not funny.
I Shut Down my phone for a very restless night and when I woke up this morning, I found that it was working fine and I could search the store beautifully!
So, My top tips:
Chillout as things fix themselves normally
Chillout as things fix themselves
Shutdown for the night
try uninstalling updates but be careful if you recently updated device
also the play store can be viewed online
Hope for the best,
Will :highfive:
Don't know what is going on but I can't download app files. Recently updated system on Moto E4 v 7.1.1 and dl's were working.
Tried to download F-Droid and it would not respond. Searched every possibility with no luck. Enabled the proper tab in settings etc. Went to XDA site to try and download an adblocker and it shut down the XDA app after the tab was ena led for settings. This happens on anything I try to do on this app. Immediate closeing of XDA. With any other apk file the thing just does not download. Nothing in the app tray. Just blank. I've tried everything but I'm not an advanced user. This happened once before and I had to reset to factory settings. Would not want to do this again but as they say... whatever

Did you subscribe to a conservative YT channel/website or even watch a video at some point?
Sorry for the delay responding. I don't know what I did but the download problem has been corrected. apk files have successfully installed. I wish I knew specifically what the answer is as I mentioned this happened once before. Thank you all. I'm pleased to be part of this community.
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.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733038
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

So i've changed regions ( not first time), i've had note 2 gt-n7100 for 2 years, its rooted with custom rom, installed year ago. Everything worked good. Recently aps wich synced with g+ acc (example: games) started saying that i cant sign in into g+ acc, or that some google error. Later i went to play market wanted to buy an app, and just whenever i clicked buy it gave me an error and reopened play market. I cleared cache on apps, on google, on everything. New installed apps have same thing. Cant buy anything in apps as it uses google payment and it just crashes aps. Any solutions? Should i reinstall rom?

Do you use any warez, like Lucky Patcher or Freedom? They make GPlay unsable. If you do, just stop them and unistall. If you dont, reistall google play and google play services.

Hello all,
I installed an app from the Google Play titled Cell Phone Tracker. It can be found here cellphonetrackers.co. After realizing that this app isn't actually free and that it's not really meant for tracking the phone in case it's lost but rather spying on the phone, I decided to delete it. After I deleted it, I was still getting updates from the software. I then deactivated it for the phone by logging into the website and still got messages. I went and deleted it from the site and am no longer getting updates but if it was able to still send me messages after I deleted it out of the phone, how can I be sure that it's completely removed? Can someone help me with verifying that the phone app has been fully uninstalled?
Unfortunately, my phone model is unrootable at the moment so I am unalbe to root it and wouldn't even know where to start locating the software file.
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Unfortunately there is nothing about your question on XDA forum. Try a Google search first.
Good luck
