[Q] Unable to install apps from Play Store

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.

Google Account Issue
It appears that this is an account issue, for some of us. I am having the same problem on multiple devices with my Google Apps account, but my gmail account is working just fine on those devices.
Google is evidently aware of it, and its gotten a little press on Android Police. Whatever you do, don't listen to what people are saying and factory reset the device. IT doesn't help, and all it winds up doing is removing access to all of your paid / no paid apps.
A small discussion has sprung up on the Google Wallet forum here.

i have had this issue on ics not on jelly bean before my fix for this normally was less radical than an factory reset
Suspects:
1. Google Play Store
2. Google Services Framework
3. Download Manger
Step 1 remove all Gmail accounts from settings menu under accounts (i do this because i want a clear start like when you did a factory reset)
Step 2 locate Google Play Store (android market app) in settings menu > applications > all > Google Play Store
2.1 Force Stop
2.2 Uninstall Updates
2.3 Clear data & cache
Step 3 locate Google Services Framework in settings menu > applications > all > Google Services Framework
3.1 Force Stop
3.2 Uninstall Updates
3.3 Clear data & cache
Step 4 locate Download Manger in settings menu > applications > all > Download Manger
4.1 Force Stop
4.2 Uninstall Updates this does not get update make sure its enabled
4.3 Clear data & cache
Step 5 do a restart for good luck
Step 6 Open Google Play Store and setup you Google account again
Step 7 Open you favorite email program and setup you account
Basically you just did a factory reset only on Google Play Store & Google Services Framework & Download Manger
Good luck hope this helps helped me a few times in the past

Don't waste your time with this. It's permanent, account related, Even a factory reset and reflash doesn't fix it.

[Completed] How can can I re-install android OS on my tablet?

My Lenovo tablet A 2701 A-H is literally not working anymore.
The problem started with:
1- Google play store gave me an error message saying "no connection" so I went on seeking all the methods that can solve the problem but nothing worked, it went on for so long and I kept trying with no avail.
2- I decided I should just delete the store and re-download it externally (an APK from the internet) which should work just fine , so since my device is rooted I uninstalled it with App Master and did what I wanted to.
3- The apk for the store that I downloaded just didn't work , It kept crashing and when it DOES open , it crashes if i try to download or update an app.
4- I just went to use another app store ( 1Mobile market) which installs apps just fine and they're up to date and everything, I thought my problem was solved but most apps don't work or the games without the google play store apparently.
5- I keep getting messages like " google play services error" or "an app can't open because google play services is not installed on my device" but IT IS, when I look in running apps and installed apps it IS THERE.
- NOW I'm thinking about re-installing the whole OS again, I'm not entirely sure if that can fix the problem also I don't know how I can do that, but I really need a solution , cause my Gmail app isn't working or youtube and I can't download games anymore since it requests to have google play games installed but apparently it doesn't work if I don't download it SPECIFICALLY from the google play store itself.
Note: My tablet runs android 4.0.3 ICS
Any help would be very much appreciated.

[Completed] Accidentally deleted Google Play and...

Hello everyone. I rooted my Asus Zenfone 5 (A501CG) for first time. I'm sure the root has done well. Then I tried to load modded Play Store. It didn't get modded, moreover got deleted. OK, this is easy, but other things make it harder:
-After I load play store apk (version 6.0.0 or 6.0.5) again, and trying to download apps it gives "rcp:s-7..." error.
-You're going to say "clear cache" right? And then remove, re-login google account, restart phone. Done it. This time it says "Unfortunately Google Play Stopped Working" (not literal translation, sorry) when i try to download any app.
I tried to copy these into root/data/app with Xplorer and superuser permission. Not solved.
com.android.vending_6.0.5.apk
com.google.android.gms-1.apk
I'm thinking about making it system app again with lucky patcher, and try downloading any app. But I'm not sure that problem is so simple.
I want to have my official google play store with no problems again and unroot my phone and delay this adventure a bit. Can anybody help about play store?

I'm going to follow what you say. I'm a curious newbie, can do whatever expressed step by step.

Hello,
Thanks for using XDA Assist.
Mentioning warez like Lucky Patcher or any kind of software that crack/patch paid apps isn't encouraged in XDA.When you cheat a developer,you cheat the community.
Read the Forum Rules once before posting.
Now I'm gonna close this thread.You can ask for support in Zenfone 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.Make sure you don't post/discuss warez again.

[Completed] Google play services constantly being removed

Got an iDeaUSA CT740K tablet with missing Google play services. I wasnt even able to sing into any google account because of the missing google play services. However, I found an APK version of the services for the tab and installed it. It fixed the problem, well, for a while. Whenever i install the apk it fixes the problem and i am able to download stuff from google play, however, google play services remove from itself after about 10-20min and i cant download anything from google play again. I tried to move the apk into root/system/apps but it didnt help (the device is rooted). I wanted to flash gapps but i dont have a custom recovery (cant do it with the stock one, as it seems) to do it so, because there isnt any available yet. Also, there isnt a stock firmware available so cant re-flash it over the current one. I tried factory reset and erased internal memory but didnt help.
There are 3 games from fox which appear on the tab even after being uninstalled. I assume that the tablet cough some viruses and they are the reason for this happening.
If someone has a solution, feel free to share it
Thanks!
