Hello,
Post rooting (repenting it already) my Samsung Galaxy S Plus (GTI9001), I am unable to install any apps via Play Store. I am able to install apk's from the SD Card though. I un-rooted the phone but problem persist.
When I try to install any app, I can see the app being downloaded on the notification but the moment the download completes nothing happens. When i go to Play Store > My Apps I could see that it still says downloading though the app is fully downloaded. I guess some permission issues here. Please help.
I have already cleared Play Store cache and tried.

Hello,
Which Rom do you use? Maybe you have to root it again. Usually you can fix permissions in CWM. Have you tried to restart after "Download is finished". For Me it was working on my Asus EeePad.

Chris, I am still on stock ROM and I am not likely to go for a custom ROM since there are not much good ROM's available for Samsung Galaxy S Plus and Yes I tried multiple reboots. After reboot, on the notification it says that app download failed due to some error with a number.
Thanks for your reply.
Same issue
Reyolin,
I have had the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus but it has only started today. Mine has been rooted for about 5 months now, since I first got it.
I did a search using EStrong File explorer and it found a file called "downloadfile.apk" in /cache (I assume this is the file as it is the same file size as stated in the Play store. However, when I tried to run or copy it it had disappeared.
It's almost like the APK is being downloaded and then being deleted before installation actually occurs.
I think rooting your phone and the inability to install apps is just coincidental.
I will do some more playing about and see what I can find (I also already tried removing the Google Play updates (to go back to the old style Market). This still did not solve the problem.

Exactly same proble
Hi,
I have exaclty the same problem (galaxy s plus), rooted 5 month ago and problem started 2 days ago...
I updated superuser at that time and tried to update the su binarie but it fails on validation of new su and stopped (not replacing old su), this is the only thing I can remember of. root is still working with old su. Maybe the cleaning needs to be done ?
Has someone found a way to fix this?
edit:
after some investigation, this is what happens:
if I try to install one app from play store, it is downloaded correctly and then nothing happens.
the file downloaded is in /cache/downloadfile.apk
If I copy this file to /sdcard/external_sd/downloadfile.apk and run it manually it installs correctly.

galaxy s plus specific issue
i am having the same problem since morning and i also use Samsung galaxy s plus, so certainly the issue is phone specific.
Good news! Problem solved for me
Hi,
I contacted google play support and her was there answer:
Thanks for contacting us and I am sorry for the delay in responding.
We've gotten some reports that users with Samsung Galaxy S Plus devices running Android OS version 2.3 (Gingerbread) are having trouble using Google Play. We're aware of this issue and to solve it we recommend you to uninstall updates to the Google Play app by following these steps:
1. Tap Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
2. Find the "All" tab
3. Scroll down to Play Store and tap to select
4. Tap "Uninstall updates"
Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.
So I followed this and it works again!
Here are the steps after doing google recommendations:
- click google play icon, it will open old google market
- install an application, for me it worked again!
- exit google market
- click again the google play icon, it will ask to accept google play license
- click yes and then try to install another app, it worked again!
Hope this will solve also your issues,
Stef
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,
- Uninstalled updates for Google Play
- I added a New Google Account.
- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account
And "BOOM" problem solved.
sorry I made a mistake, I erased Supersu program, I hope that in relaunching the program back, my phone model LENOVO A880
You may install it back from Play Store or see [STABLE][2014.07.27] SuperSU v2.02
My Huawei Y600 u151 seems to be unable to install a few apps. What I find really interesting is that the apps it can't seem to install appear to have 3d graphics. Of course I can install a very few 3d apps but I can't for most. Some of the apps that can't be installed include Minecraft and Air Navy Fighters. I can download the apks from the play store but I get a 'unable to install to USB or sd card' I even tried downloading from third party websites and I can enter the apk installation menu but when I hit install it usually fails to do so. Halp

Hi everyone, to make a long story short.......
Just recently while am using System app remover to remove unwanted system apps (after successfully rooting my phone) i accidently removed "Google Services Framework", after accidently removing it, i cant use my Google account on this phone anymore, it even doesnt show any options to log it in (or something similar)
When Google Store says that i have to log in my account on the phone, whenever i tap ok nothing happens...
Any fixes or recommendations? Hope you guys help me :'(
What i did so far:
I tried installing the Google Services Framework with the apks i got on the web, but they dont work, some apks i got gives me problem parsing package while "one apk" gives me that "application not installed"

Hi, I have the Homtom HT3 running Android 5.1 Lollipop with firmware version HT3 v2.06 and it is not rooted.
I have tried to install application from the Google Play store, some will install, such as Whatsapp, while others like Asphalt Nitro/8, Traffic Rider will not install (but it will download and there is enough space in my internal storage) (ERROR 505).
So I downloaded the game from the Muzhiwan market and when installing, the 'Install' button does not work. Hence, I tried to switch off App permissions, then the install button worked BUT the app was not installed. Note that Unknown sources .... is switched on.
I've googled and they say to disable Lux screen brightness something like, to my knowledge I do not have such application in my phone, it is a new phone out of the box.
Any help?
