Here is what I did. I went to: phone settings> Applications> Manage Applications> All tab> clicked on gPlay Store> force stop> clear data> uninstall update> clear data.
Then, I installed gPlay 3.5.19..still it didn't work (this one didb;t even start to download at all). lol
Worst of all, everytime i run it..google is prompting to update it..and i cant bypass that stupid update..dafuq?!! =="
What should I do? aaarrgh!! @[email protected]

I had this problem. I installed the rom and then i restored data with recovery from an other rom. After that a couldnt install some programs. And i solved it with this. I installed the rom and then i installed titanium and i did the recovery with it. Then all was ok.

Now i only realized that google play will update itself. Sorry for this stupid statement but honestly say Play Store never start update by itself, never prompt me also in my phone...(Don't know what happen ><) and i every time update it using apk file downloaded from another website. Sorry can't help you on this
Would it because of my phone bloatware free and using broodkernel?

Worth a try i guess..i'm gonna try that too..
but i'll probably try installing a rom from another region to check how it goes first..

As we are not the only one who facing this strange problem so in my opinion i still think that the main issue came from the Play itself. Correct me if i'm wrong because i'm not expert in android. However, flashing a new rom might be a good try and hope that it solved the problem. Good Luck !

I do not have a custom rom on my phone, but i did have the same problems. Everytime i tried to update something i get error 403. Some ppl said turn off wifi go tot 3G and try again..

This didn't work too..i flashed rom from another region..then google prompted me to update (as usual)..and after the update, *poof* same nonsense got repeated.."stuck at download" *pfft*
@mrjraider, my mobile data works fine..but for google play, its the same case.
There is definitely something going on..i sent a complaint to Google Play Support for feedback/solutions. I searched, and it seems to be a common problem in there FAQ. lmao

why not you try find out some way to make it stop auto update like my phone
***i don't know what i have set...even i always flash my phone but still doesn't prompt me for update...so might link to the google account setting

I also tried this recently as suggested by many over the internet.
Open file explorer (need to be rooted), go to:
System> Framework> rename 'framework-res.apk' to 'framework-res.apk.bak' wait for a few FC's then rename it back to 'framework-res.apk'.
This will enable you to re-enter a google account into the system. Some say this worked, but for me it hasn't. Maybe this could work for you too..who knows. (sigh)
Anyways, I just re-flashed the whole rom again..lets hope it works now.
Edit: this is so ridiculous, google taking ages to reply. I did everything i could, even re-flashed the rom..and still nothin..dafuq?!! *sigh*

Ok, peepz..i found a temporary workaround for this problem..and it WORKS!! I hope that Google gets a fix for this nonsense..and FAST!! x(
Here is what I did:
1- go to app manager from settings,
2- uninstall the latest version of google play store
3- clear data and cache of google play store
4- install version Google Play Store v3.5.19
5- when you open the market, google will still prompt you to update to the latest version (dont continue, leave it as it is)
6- if you want to update/install the apps do it thru the browser in your phone/computer (it will straight away update in your phone)
Cheers!! ^_^

ok guys i also have send a complain to google, but when you send it they says they work from 8am to 6pm on those complains so we have to wait a little.
For now i have solved the problem by freezing MarketUpdate.apk via titanium backup pro. i think that probably a new update of google play will solve this, so any now and then i will de-frost google play and check!
ok now after a while it just started update by himslf.
in the meanwhile google support team answered me sayng that the problem is that my phone is rooted. so to unroot and do a hard reset! i ansqered that they are just crazy and that i found on an italian forum a person with everything stock and not rooted with the same problem so to do not bull**** me. also if i told them so in realy good manners
then i found another way t stop this and again, for now it is working. with es filemanager i have changed privilege of vending.apk from rw--rw--rw- to r--r--r--
for now it seems like not updating anymore!
what the hell is goin on with this damn google play?!?!? i have managed to preventi it from update yesteray until now, now i opened market to check a thing and it was updated!!! Someone managed to solve this????

I seriously do not think that the problem is related to being rooted or using custom roms..dafuq?!!
So far, my workaround is working well..the only part which i dont like is everytime i have to install/update..i have be connected to the WiFi/data, and update/install manually from the browser in the device/computer.
Now google play website enables updating from the site itself (via "My Android Apps")..so its kinda convenient..but still suck!! xp
Still, am not satisfied with google's services..till now they havent replied any solution for the problem.

This works for me:
1º Install "Root Explorer" (you can use Blackmart or other alternative market)
2º Disable wifi and data
3º Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/Google Play: Unistall Updates
4º With Root Explorer: System/App/MarketUpdater.apk: change permissions to ONLY READ
It would work
EDIT: Sorry, it only work 5 minutes.

MIUI V5 download problem

MIUI V5 always queue file while downloading if its size is larger than 20 MB !!
It says "waiting for wifi connection".
I dont have wifi connection ,any way we can download file having size larger than the limit

It has a system, where large files are only downloaded over wifi.. There's an option to disable this, although i dont remember the exact location..
Sometimes, Sith happens..

If your problem is just adding a google account, you can do it in the settings.. Under the "full settings" tab, you can find the option.. The play store thing could be a missing apk or something.. Did you flash gApps after the ROM?

The setting by which you change that behavior is inside download manager app's menu. (It was in security center for me)

Getting access to the Google Play Store on my Chinese 7.7

Does anybody know how i can get access to the Google Play Store on a Chinese Samsung 7.7?
Thanks for any help offered

Which Rom are you using?
ICS or JB?
I would try flash JB with odin then re try...
Also if it crashes when open up...
then go settings/app manager/all/google play store and uninstall updates...
it will say it restores origonal factory version...
do this and should open if cant open...
something to do with corrupt files?

Thanks for your suggestion. I am on Android 4.04 ICS
I have been reading up and it appears that Chinese restrictions are preventing the installation of the Google Play Store

I know when iam trying this i get the error "netzfehler" in german how did you root? and did you scale your dpi?

No I did not change dpi .. maybe this is the reason ?
I rooted by installing TWRP then wiping data ( this is to get rid out the boot looping issue ) then flashed SuperSU.
an by the way, I'm using 930F version

May be you can consider flashing back the Stock ROM and have your VR installed first then do the rooting again.

Edit: Found it internet works, but vr service still won´t start :´(

Well i am all out of ideas...
i installed the apps of my brothers s6 but no luck... everytime i plug the s7 out of the gear vr and press next the same error pops up... maybe if someone could spare vr services backed up via titanium backup it would work... for anything else i guess i have to wait for a software update or fix or whatever.

same pb here ! it was working ok before i rooted & Xposed it after a full reset.
i was not able to reinstall it because of internet error

Did you play around with the dpi?

I read another thread on Oculus community forum... this issue occurred before even on other phones...
some says it could be coming from Oculus servers.
I tried to logcat the app ID 10072 that tried to read the DNS before displaying the network error.
also tried...
to fully reset the device
to run the app with/without Sim card,
with a VPN
deleting cache...
no luck so far

I read that the Facebook app has to be installed or enabled can someone confirm this ? and try to log in and launch the setup wizard ?
if don't have a Facebook account.

No, you only need com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system services. Not the Facebook app itself.

How do I turn on App Manager and Installer ?
To turn on the App Manager and Installer, tap on the "Settings" application, then "Applications" and finally "Application manager". Make sure you have chosen the "All" category and find the following applications:
com.facebook.appmanager (App Manager)
com.facebook.system (Installer)
Tap into each and make sure they are enabled.
Unable to find com.facebook.system
If you are on Android OS 6.0 (Marshmallow), com.facebook.system may not be visible. Please try the following steps:
1. Navigate to Settings
2. Tap on Application Manager
3. Tap the More menu in the upper right corner
4. Tap Show System Apps
5. This will make com.facebook.system visible and allow you to enable it.
The App Manager and the Installer must be enabled before Gear VR apps can be installed and updated on your mobile phone.

Google play store error 505 after nougat update

I use Facebook for work as we have fan pages. I use Facebook pages manager to manage them. I never had Facebook downloaded on the z5(work phone). I received a notice in play store that pages manager had an Update available. That's when I started receiving the 505 error code when trying to update the pages manager. Then I uninstalled the pages manager and tried to reinstall and now it won't install at all keeps giving me the 505 code. I read online where they say to remove the Google account and then add the Google account back,clear cache and data etc.... and if that doesn't work of course reset your phone. I'm not going to reset my phone because I will lose too many important chats with in different applications on the phone.
Is anybody else seeing this issue?
Update: the only apps that won't update are Facebook,f.b.pages manager,and now f.b.messenger....I'm not a Facebook fan,but need them for work.

This is an unlocked phone bought from Sony in Thailand. Model E6653, build# 32.3.A.0.376

if you are rooted and have sony ric disabled then install playstore again using lucky patched, but first go to settings apps find google play store and wipe everything from that app.
EDIT : Best thing is to use titanium backup(you have to be rooted) and backup every app that you have important chats on, and then do full wipe(excluding /system).

Is the problem only with page manager or with other apps, if only page manager simply download page manager apk from apkmirror and install it and that's it.

Only Facebook apps are effected.
I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to installing apk,roots etc...

Apkmirror is source of official apks so it is same thing like if you download from playstore.

So I need to download from unknown sources? Check that option in security section?

Open this :

press download apk, then go to:
Settings Security enable unknown sources and then install this apk, just press on it in notification area, after installing disable unknown sources if you want and that's it.

Even though I get a warning message saying it can harm my device?

Ignore it, i use apkmirror for years and never had any problems with any apk.

It downloaded,but I can't locate it. It's not in my app drawer or on any home screen.....
I went to my down load section,and tried to click it,but it says can not because it conflicts with existing package. So I know it's in the phone,but how do I access it...?.....

File Commander or any other file manager and locate Downloads folder and there it is.

When I try to download
Here is the screen shot

It won't open......

I did. I deleted any file that had the word Facebook in it from file manager too. I even went into Google play store under all apps and deleted it from there also.
It's so strange how it only FB,FB messenger,and the page manager

Well this is a bug. I experienced this problem after upgrading to Nougat from Marshmallow using flashtool. Sideloading (apk) won't work. Do a factory reset, that's the only fix.

It's just too much trouble factory resetting. I'll just have to use my other device.
Thanks guys.

you have to do a clean install not update..
