[Q] Google Play Store Force Closing

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

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.

[Q] Google Play Store Server Error - Tried Everything I've Read Online

I recently upgraded from a samsung droid charge that I had rooted regularly to keep up with new ROMs and such and picked up a samsung s3 via a craigslist deal and got a phone in fantastic condition that was already rooted with synergyrom on it. I'm loving the phone but I have had a major issue with it! I cannot access the google play store and there are several other strange things that lead me to believe that there is a bigger underlying issue. I'll try and be as descriptive as possible as I have searched the internet for several days trying to find answers before resorting to asking you guys (the experts).
Events from the beginning:
1. Picked up the phone. It is unlocked and rooted to synergyrom. When I picked it up it had a tmobile sim card in it. I went to verizon the first night and had them put in a new sim card so that I could activate the phone. I activated my google account to the phone and it sync'd my contacts, emails, etc. no problem.
2. Noticed the first night that the google play store wouldn't open up. Tried wiping cache and dalvik in recovery. Still no go. Got error code RH-01. Googled error code and found several ways of potentially clearing it involving clearing data/disabling google play store and google framework services. Still no go.
3. Installed Synergyrom from my external sd card with a full system wife. Also installed titanium backup pro from the rom package. Titanium backup pro would not recognize that I had purchased a full version and it wouldn't restore any of my previous information.
4. Tried installing cleanrom via external sd card and doing a full wipe on the system memory. Still no access to google play store
5. Flashed the phone back to stock (still no play store: Server Error) and took it to Verizon to see if there was anything they could do about it. Associate tried downloading google play store from the internet as well as several other apps. It would let me click to download the apps but they were not downloaded to my phone. I can't even install anything from the internet google play store.
I read that some phones can somehow lose their IMEI or their ERI, but both of those fields have values in my phone settings and it identifies that it is activated on verizon. Any ideas? I will check back regularly so if there is anything that you need from me on my end just let me know.
Thank you for any suggestions/Help

I'm going to try and re-root the phone and then change the radio. I am thinking maybe the issue had something to do with it being used on tmobile prior to me purchasing it...

Are you sure the phone is a Verizon phone? SCH-I535 in the about phone menu? As you said it had a T Mobile Sim in it, that would lead me to believe it's a GSM phone.

Yeah it's a SCH-I535. I'm currently running:
- android 4.1.2
- kernel 3.0.31-86
- ERI version 5
- IMEI is 990001150832830
- Network: Verizon Wireless
I have no idea. I am willing to pay for someone to help me out but don't know if I can trust craigslist modders to not waste my time. Everything with the phone checked out at Verizon so I'm sure it has to have something to do with the software. It was ulocked and rooted when I got it and I was a bit hesitant because of that but everything checked out until I got it activated and can't get access to the play store.

When the associate was downloading the playstore, were they using your data or wifi? Was it stock browser?
I have had trouble downloading anything from the internet with the stock browser, it will always fail. Try a different browser. I'm sure you can find a browser apk or even the playstore apk, download it to your comp and then move it to your sd card.
I am on synergy right now, just tried download an apk and it will not even start. I don't mind, I don't use the stock browser.
Try a different browser and see if that helps.

Thanks Bob,
I'll try the putting on a different browser and see if that works. That would be a good enough work around for my purposes. I was using data connection when the associate was trying to download from the playstore from the browser.
EDIT:
I was able to install a different browser using the apk process and was able to install netflix on my phone by downloading an apk as well. That could be a decent workaround in the meantime but it sucks that it doesn't fully recognize my google account. Right now my biggest gripe is that apps that I paid money for like titanium backup pro and several games won't show up as purchased even if I do download and install through apk. It's really strange because all of my contacts import from my google account but the apps don't and the licences don't show up. Still no access to downloading through the google play store no matter what browser I use.

SUCCESS!!!
I was able to get the play store to come up and get everything to update!!!
I fixed it by downloading and installing a different radio through odin. After I installed it, I went through and did a trick I had googled and tried previously with no success where I basically cleared data and cash on google play store, google services framework, and then restarted the play store. This time I also cleared data and force stopped google play services, not sure if that had any effect on it though. Finally! Now it's time to reinstall synergyrom on this phone and enjoy it like it's meant to be enjoyed. Thanks for the suggestions and replies guys

Just posting for future users who might experience my problem. I recreated the issue and the fix was to install a different radio which allowed the phone to access the google play store and my information. Hope this helps somebody because I know that they last week sucked trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone.

Maybe you should flash the phone back to latest stock via Odin or Other methods layed out in Dev section. Sounds like when you first got it, it was a franken phone. So who knows what software, images, radios, ect.. you have flashed in there. I was gonna say revert it to latest stock [AS LONG AS YOU ARE SURE YOU HAVE THE VERIZON MODEL AND THE APPROPRIATE SOFTWARE THAT GOES WITH IT]. Then unlock, root, change rom yourself. It's not complicated at all. Just a thought. Enjoy your new toy.

John,
I actually went all the way back to stock and still was not able to get the google play store to work. I had the device working great until I tried to flash a different kernel and got a message from verizon telling me unauthorized software was on my phone. I had to flash back to stock once again and my google play store wouldn't connect once again. After installing the correct that I linked below, the play store came back up. I don't know if it has something to do with how it was unlocked previously, but I had thought that just returning everything to stock via odin would fix it and was surprised when it didn't.

[Q] Serious Google Play Store Issues

I'm going to try and be as detailed as possible here so bear with me. So a few days ago I got my first android device, a refurbished Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. Everything was working fine when I first got the device (including the google play store). I did a lot of research and ended up following this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1880010 to root and install CWM on the device. Cool right, everything still works (including the google play store). Next I decided I wanted to try out a custom ROM so I followed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2202854 in order to install the PAC-ROM. Everything was working fine and I was really loving the new UI but this is when **** hits the fan. The google play store stopped showing me apps and when I could get one to show up through a search I was presented with a lovely "This item isn't available in this country". I followed some advice on XDA forums saying to clear the play store data/cache and reboot (tried this about 30 times). Nothing. Reset app preferences and clear all data/cache again. Nothing. Remove and re-add my google account. Nothing. Remove google account, reset everything, reboot, and add a new google account. NOTHING. At this point I'm getting frustrated so I decide to just do a factory reset and reinstall STOCK JB 4.1.1. NON-rooted following these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2283598. NOTHING! When I open the play store I am presented an empty menu with a bunch of categories that have nothing in them. If I search for major apps like "Facebook" I can get to the app page but it says "This item isn't available in your country". I've tried about 10 google accounts now and to no avail. What's really weird is that I can't see the google play store on my Desktop computer either (both on the same wifi), its also a blank menu and If I search for a major app it shows me a few apps and most of them are in Chinese? What. The. ****. So, any ideas?

If it does, I'm having the same exact problem on a Kindle fire 2 running stock cm10.2
E: Oh, and this also started happening using the kf2 port of pac rom, if that means anything.

Very simple. The Play Store thinks you have a Chinese device and those are the only apps available for that device. Either install a new ROM or edit the build.prop in the system folder. I use Root Explorer which has a Text Editor built in. Change all the instances of the tablet model to the correct model. Save and reboot your tab and all should be well.
Do a complete wipe before you install a ROM if that is the path you choose.

nice info
Thanks

Well I figured out the source of the problem... my ASUS router. I had accidentally set the timezone to somewhere in the middle of the pacific ocean at -12:00 GMT when I'm actually in EST. I figured it out because on my girlfriend's wireless network my playstore worked absolutely fine (and she has the same ISP as I do). So after setting my router to the correct timezone all of my problem's were alleviated. :good:

Weird issue after restoring apps with TiBU

Basically I have backups for about 130 different apps, games, etc. After I setup my ROM (Mahdi latest update) I used titanium backup pro to batch restore the apps. Just the apps, no data. So I was trying out xposed framework and saw instagram downloader. I thought it sounded cool so I set it up and installed it. I tried testing it by logging into instagram and trying to save a photo. Instagram crashed (fc) right off the bat. So I went back to the module page and saw the latest update was to make it compatible with instagram v5.1.4. So I went to play store and saw the version of the latest instagram version... 5.1.4. Here's the weird part. It only had 2 options. Open and uninstall, which led me to believe it was up to date. So I went to settings/apps/ instagram and I was running version 5.0.8. Back to play store and still no option to update. I had to uninstall it and install it back again to get the correct version.
Just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? Currently going through all of my user applications and manually matching the app info version with play store version to see if any more are facing the same issue. This is my first issue using titanium on the phone so far (that I know about)

Similar to this today?

I'd say not really. That seems to be a sync issue. Just didn't recognize the purchase on the phone. Thanks for your reply, but I'll try to explain a little better.
Normally when you have an outdated app installed that is on the play store, if you visit that apps page on the play store you will (normally) see 2 options. Update or uninstall if I'm not mistaken. Or open and update. One of the 2. My issue is that after restoring instagram from titanium backup, the play store saw it as up to date. There was no option anywhere in the play store to update the application which was on 5.0.8. Correct version being 5.1.4. So because it saw it as updated for whatever reason I couldn't update it to correct version. I had to uninstall it and install it again to get the correct version.
So essentially;
Check instagram on play store to see if update is available for it. Says there is none and that all of my apps are up to date. Go to app settings and see instagram isn't really up to date. Go back to play store to confirm there is no update. There is no option to do so (play store thinks app is fully updated). Must uninstall it and when I install again it is up to date.
So naturally if it didn't recognize an update for one of my apps I'm assuming there's more. I always leave auto sync on, but I'll see if there was a sync error. I don't think that's it, however. Probably going to take this up in the tibu thread as well.

the play store doesnt see if you need updates right away, it can time time. when apps are released, one person can get/see an update a day or two after another, even though the app is updated for everyone. plus, if you just restored, the play store would have to sync first before you saw it as new.

The thing is the update(instagram) was released 9 days ago. I know updates take a few hours to push to the public after a developer releases it. I just tried to replicate it again by uninstalling it and restoring from titanium. Same issue. I'd had all my apps installed since the 13th. The day the latest mahdi update came out. It should have caught it in 6 days. :/
Still stumped.

Besides if that was the case that the update hadn't been pushed to the play store yet, it would still show 5. 0. 8. Not the new 5. 1. 4

If you read my OP that's exactly how I got it up to date....twice :facepalm:
I'm saying my issue is that the play store has recognized an application as up-to-date after being restored from tibu when it is indeed not up-to-date. Can't be because I didn't get the update pushed to play store yet, because the update is already on play store for me.
After trying a couple things it has become all too apparent that this is most likely an issue caused by titanium backup. I will continue to troubleshoot there from now on. Sorry,but I don't seem to be successfully getting my point across here. Thanks for all your replies, though.

na. i have memories of many times in the past 6 years when the version showing for me was the updated version, yet i was still on the older version, and didnt show me an update(especially with google app updates). at a later point that day i got the update. if you know that an app got an update, yet you didnt at that point, i bet itll still show you the version thats updated.

It's been at least 6 days since ROM install. 9 since instagram update. I wasn't on the latest version. There should have been an update button in the play store on instagrams page.
This is the first time ever seeing this since the Droid X, X2, stratosphere, toro galaxy nexus, n5... I never keep auto update on. Back in the X2 days an app got updated automatically and was no longer compatible with the phone. Just force closed. Couldn't roll back. Since then I always updated manually and kept an eye on app versions, etc. If I didn't pay attention to that stuff or try xposed I probably would have never noticed it.

right, but you also restored a backup. id think that would change things, until your phone resyncs everything, which isnt always right away also.

What exactly do you mean by syncing? In the last 6 days I've had quite a few play store notifications telling me there's updating to the following applications. I remember specifically, multirom, Google camera, ez weather, screen filter and ecodrive just off the top of my head. Instagram wasn't there. Yet I keep auto sync in and I checked after your first reply. There was no sync errors. Everything was checked off and refreshed within 40 minutes of checking. :/

So to confirm, you wiped data in play app? Do it again

Ironically, no and yes. I was messing around after I noticed that. I found an app called Recovery Tools on the play store. I figured I'd secure my data by flashing stock recovery and locking BL. Don't know why but I got the urge but I used to do it on my toro nexus. Anyways I made the mistake of locking my boot loader with boot unlocker and then flashed stock recovery. Phone went haywire. Tried a cache wipe from stock recovery but it did nothing. My phone booted, to my surprise but I was met with nonstop sysUI and gallery FC. I ended up having to scroll through my apps in between FC to open boot unlocker and unlock again. Then since I had no systemUI I had no home keys so i had to reboot again go back to the recovery tools app to flash my recovery backup I made before doing this. Long story short (too late) I had a bunch of stuff reset. Most of my system settings. Anything that had to do with systemUI. Even opened play store and was prompted to accept the terms of service again. Still showed no update for IG

I'm over it for now. Tonight I'll check my app info versions and match them with play store. Luckily xposed has a module to put a play store link in app info so it should be quicker!! Hahahaha
Anyways I'll bring it to the attention of the tibu dev in their thread if I find any more apps that aren't up to date on my phone, despite play store telling me they are

Does TB still have the break market link feature in settings? It's possible that got activated somehow. If it happens again go to menu. Then Market Docter. Market Update helper will also get you the update. Just some thoughts.

Google play services keeps stopping

Please help. Every 15 minutes my Google Play services needs to be reset I have to go into applications and clear the all the memory associated with the app then I have to go into one of the Google Apps and redo my account because the account gets deleted when it resets and then it's okay for 15 minutes. I went ahead and download it just the apps from the Huawei app and it does it with that. I went ahead and downloaded apps from the Google Play Store and it does it with that also. I went ahead and did a fresh installation of b109 and thought that would fix it and then reinstall all the Google Apps that I had and it still did the same thing so I am lost with the solution to the problem that I have hopefully someone can solve this or someone had the same problem that I have and have a solution. I have attached the image of what it looks like.

What were you running before this happened. B106? B109? This usually happens when you try and flash the Play Services yourself as Huawei already includes them. If you didn't do anything different to cause this, go into Apps and uninstall the google play services update and see if it works after that.

I have tried that a couple of times. the only thing I can do is restore my twrp backup and that is stable and then google starts downloading those updates again and boom it brings that error up. I don't know which one because they come down in a diffent order everytime. If I just have gmail loaded it is fine but that is not going to work. I might have to try to load up a modded playstore that doesn't allow any updates at all and just be satified. What Google apps are you running (Full list, so I'll know whick one ones are okay to put on my phone). That would be a good thread. And do you have any problems like that?

I noticed that if you don't use the official Google Apps from Huawei's app store it causes problems.
I'm using these. They are from the official Huawei App store.

I went ahead and uninstalled all google apps, every one. Copied the ones included with the rom back to there location and set permissions. Then I went ahead and went to the huawei app store and downloaded the rest they had. And what was missing I got from the playstore and The apps updated from the playstore. So far so good.Emails are coming in instantly again. I made a twrp image of this setup because I think this one is perfect just incase I might want to experiment with some new google apps later. Thanks for the help.

You'll be fine on any ROM with the Play Store and GoogleContactsSyncAdapter I sent you. Those are the only things you need to install when you flash a new ROM or update. All of the other Google Apps are already included in Huawei's stock ROMS. Google just released a new version of the play store and mine auto updated to the new one. Everything is still working though like it should. When Huawei releases the new version in their App Store I'll grab it and add it to my roms.
