Google Play Store Won't Work - General Questions and Answers

Hey, I'm currently using CM13 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (jfltexx) - Google play store, in app purchases (and Snapchat) just suddenly stopped working - the google play connection error came up every time I went on the Play Store. Usually deleting the etc/hosts file does the trick, but this time it didn't work. I thought I'd just factory reset it since I was going to be flashing an update anyway. Now, I've got an error of 'There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later'. I've had this version of gapps for a while and never had any problem that couldn't be quickly sorted out. I've tried all the clear data, cache, reset app preferences, change time/date, tried on Wi-Fi and LTE networks etc -I also factory reset a few times and re-flashed both the ROM and gapps just in case but still no luck. Any ideas?

This is a kind of bug in CM
Probably cant be fix
Only if you try another rom
This happens with unofficial builds of CM and sometimes official ones also
In most cases happens with samsung devices.
I also have CM7.2 right now
Having the same problem.
Give a thanks if i helped u

But surely it wouldn't be solely down to CM? I was running the same nightly of CM13 for the past month or so without any problems. Anyway, I might as well try a different ROM, I'll let you know if it works as soon as I flash it

Still don't know why it stopped working randomly, but just flashed Dirty Unicorns, everything works fine now

SongPoP does not WORK!

Hey XDA members,
Ive updated to the latest SKY ICS R-3. i must say it is the best ROM I've used and always looking for the latest update.
the only problem I'm having is running Song Pop app. I'm addicted to it and SKY ICS will not let it load. it starts up and then a blue screen thats all.
any help here would be greatly appreciated
Yup. Couldn't get it to work at all on skyICS. which sucked because I wouldn't get rid of that ROM, but got JB now and it works!
I'm having the same issue. I upgraded from sky ics 4.2e to 4.2f(non dragon) and it worked on my old ROM, but not since I updated. I posted in the sky ics post earlier... no replies yet hope we can figure something out. I can even help get debug if people need it, I just don't know enough to change code... I only know Linux, not java programming.

Not yet . I posted about it twice on his ROM thread, once someone even quoted me and confirmed it doesn't work, but noone ever responded to my post . Maybe I'll try one more time.
Oh and I upgraded from 2.7A to 2.8B update, and still no go.
Maybe his update or new project coming out will fix this problem MAYBE

Currently running the newest SKY-ICS 3.0, and SongPop still does not work. Tried everything, including installing the last Adobe Flash Player with a Flash Installer. Adobe Flash Player runs just fine, but still no SongPop. Had the same problem with Screenshot from Google Play today, as far as force closing, and the same error message. Uninstalled Screenshot, and reinstalled it, works fine now. I did notice the last time I uninstalled, and reinstalled SongPop, it said a shortcut was already on my home screen, but I had just uninstalled it. Maybe it's not truly uninstalling all the way to get a fresh install. I don't know, but SongPop not working on SKY-ICS is the only thing that sucks for me.
Just for ****s n giggles, SongPop support sucks ass. I tried seeing if they knew what was up, and all they do is dance around the problem. Told them all of what was going on in my first comment on there, phone, o/s version, and exactly what was happening. The tech replies with, please reply with all of this info including SongPop username, phone, o/s, sreenshot of when it's failing. I was kinda harsh, and told him I already posted most of it in my previous post, and then sent another reply with username, and a couple screenshots. One of the blackscreen when it f/c's and another one of the error message. Next reply is, try uninstalling, and reinstalling SongPop. In my first comment, I already stated that I have done this many times, along with clearing cache, data, and even did a fresh install of this ROM to make sure none of my other apps, and or settings was screwing with it. Next reply is, We're sorry you're having this isssue, please check back often to see if your problem is fixed. Also, each time they reply to new comments, they close your help request, and mark it as solved. It took me 6 days to get told, sorry it's not working, and we'll try to fix it.
Works fine on CM10/AOKP. Sky-ICS is dead. Switch to a newer ROM.

try using the libCore.so from adobe air:
1. Install the lastet adobe air from google play
2. Copy the file libcore.so from /data/data/com.adobe.air/lib/libCore.so to /data/data/air.com.freshplanet.games.SongPop*/lib/libCore.so , you can use a file explorer like cm explorer or the terminal.
3. Start playing

AOSP keyboard stopped

I have tried 2 different AOKP and 2 CM10 and both times I get "Unfortunately , Android (AOSP) Keyboard has stopped." Any help at this time would be most appreciated. Also when I get this message I cant open the browser either.
This is for my brother in laws phone.
I had a similar if not the exact issue/error message. In my issue it was related to the gapps version I was flashing. I flashed gapps 4.2(many variations) and I would always get that message. Flashed gapps 4.1 and everything was fine. Hope this helps.

That is probably exactly what happened. That is quite a weird problem. I will try this asap. Thank you.

[Q] Can't connect to Google services [WiFi icon is gray] and can't add Google account

Hello everyone,
I've searched like every post/thread on Xda-developers and other Android forums, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem. First of all the WiFi icon is grayed out. Solutions to this were: adding/removing Google accounts, resetting/restarting router, restarting phone, factory data reset. I tried EVERYTHING, but it wouldn't work. The second thing is, I can't add Google account after removing it. Solutions were: logging in via YouTube, cleaning data of: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework and Downloadmanager app. Resetted phone for the second time. But nothing works. I'm able to browse the internet and receive WhatsApp messages. The only that doesn't work are the Google apps. I hope someone with knowledge of this can help me, because i'm getting really frustrated and nothing helps.
Thanks in advance

Try to flash your ROM again and be sure to use the right version of GApps.

Facebook and Messenger not working on CM11

Yesterday I installed CM11 on my Xperia L. Everything was working fine, except facebook and facebook messsenger. Both of the apps had problems signing in. How can I resolve this issue, because I am tired of the stock rom draining my battery and CM12 is too laggy for me.
Does anyone have the same problem? I tried all CM11 based roms and facebook/messenger work on none of them.
Bumping the thread... Can somebody who is on CM11 rom please check and tell me whether facebook and facebook messenger work for them?
Try going to Settings>Apps>Facebook/Messenger and clear data for both of them. If that doesn't work then I'm not sure.
Doesn't work... I even tried reinstalling them but no luck with that either. I have absolutely no clue what the problem is.
Have you tried checking to see if it works on your PC? If it works on your PC but not your phone, then sorry but I have no idea.

It is rooted, but currently I am on stock rom. Later I will install CM11 again and I will post a log.
Meanwhile I also tried with CM 12/12.1 and there was no problem with facebook.

Can't install apk files

Hi!
I have a minor problem with my Nexy...I have succesfully flashed both LiquidSmooth ROM (ROM crashed..) and now I went back to CM 12.1... the problem is, when i try to install apk files on my Nexus the installer app says ¨app not installed¨..... I have tried reflashing with a full wipe including dalvik and system format... now I am about to give it up and leave my phone blank as a paper and have only free applications installed from Google Play... so I would be really thankfull if anyone knows what the problem might be... I have been already told that i might have flashed the wrong GAPPS but i doubt thats the problem since i flashed NANO GAPPS 5.1.1. PLS HELP!
Hi
Is "unknown sources" checked? Try another custom rom. CM could be buggy.
Checked so that shouldn't be a problem... I had CM 12.1 already on my Nexus but then it worked just fine...

CM nightlies have bugs you know... Have a look at the CM dev thread.
Did you try with several apks? Can you give us examples? You can have this error when you are trying to install an app which is already installed or which has a different signature.
I know they tend to have bugs... But i really dont think thats the problem here... Because i had LiquidSmooth and since then nothing installs... A few apps do install but apparently if they're bigger than 8 MB they won't install... I tried N.O.V.A 3 failed Modern Combat 4 failed....

Did you switch to another system file (F2FS)? You can still flash the factory images to start from scratch. No other idea sorry.
Im guessing I'll have to do that... Thanks
