I've got an issue that I also saw on my note 8 before I switched to the op 7, when I go to install or update apps from the Google play store it gets to 99 percent or 100 percent it hangs and doesn't finish the install. I've tried all the wipes and clearing data and cache. Any ideas? Thanks.
Updating in case some one else has this issue, seemed to work for me. I wiped the following:
Play services
Playstore
And this one I hadn't done before
Download manager.
I've never really looked into something like the dm but after all the wipes and force stops I rebooted the phone and it seems to be working now.
Hope this can help someone in the future.

Scratch that, worked installing 2 apps, back to the same.
I have the same problem. There are brief moments when everything just works, but they are rare and it's ultra annoying
So I had a VPN installed, and I deleted the app, and now it seems to be working fine. I didn't have it enabled when downloading the app, and I found it sometimes gives me issues on my pc with connecting at first to an internet connection, so I thought there might be some correlation. The VPN I use is express. I'll keep trying to install apps and see if it resolved the issues.

And you tried with New one? It works with New sim?
I haven't, need to take it in to have it copied, or do it myself. Never done it.
Another thing, never really took time to learn about sims, but if I pull the card in my phone, and just threw the new one that came with the phone will it work the same? With my number and everything?
I am also having this issue and even after a factory reset apps will not install. I tried removing my SIM card etc. Nothing seems to be working. The next thing I am going to try is installing the latest OTA update again manually via the downloaded zip from OnePlus's site.
Update: I tried installing the OTA manually, wiping all data, cache, etc and still the play store is not working correctly. I have never installed customer ROMs on this device or modified it in any way. Oxygen OS has been great so I never saw a reason to mess with it. In addition to that I have not even unlocked the bootloader.
Update 2: Some things are installing but it is exceptionally slow. I do not have any VPN apps or anything and this is a fresh wiped device. I cleared all system data, cache etc. Could it be a Google server side issue or something like that? Tying to side-load open source apps they install without issue instantly.

Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
I've got CM7.1 on my Nexus One, and it seems to work well. Just one problem, though. Whenever I reboot the phone, gmail crashes as soon as I enter my unlock pattern, and it can't be restarted (just crashes again). I have to uninstall and re-install it from the market, after which it's fine until the next reboot.
Any ideas?

From memory, you have to download a 'special' GMail for CM. It's part of the 'Gapps' package you usually see on the same threads. I'm unsure if this is still the case, but it may be worth a try. I had CM7 on an Optimus 2x a few months back, and remember something similar although I don't use pattern unlock. Have you tried disabling your pattern to see if there's a conflict at all?
I loaded gapps originally, but I probably accepted upgrades from the market. But I thought the purpose of gapps was to get access to the market - not because CM requires special versions of Google apps. Am I wrong?

Quite possibly true. Been a while since I've used CM. Out of curiosity are you using a nightly or a stable build?
A quick search revealed it has something to do with messing with your application permissions?

Stable. I may have restored gmail from Titanium backup, which I guess could've messed things up. But I've uninstalled and reinstalled from the market several times. And after each reinstall, gmail works fine - until the next power down. I guess I could reflash gapps. But I'd like to wait for someone here to definitively tell me I need to.

Well this started happening last night, but whenever I try to install anything, I get the insufficient storage warning. I've rebooted many times lol. 20gb free on phone. 28 free on sd card
Try running Smartclean
Nope. Also tried clean master. I have so much free space it's insane. I've used 8gb of 54 available. I've uninstalled all apps but ones I absolutely need. Guess my next step is to uproot and go back to factory stock?
When I switched sd cards, Google music gave me a warning it couldn't download music. I was stumped. Went into settings and noticed my old sd card was checked, I had changed it out and selected the new one. Did you swap sd cards?

I have been getting this error today and I have tried clearing app caches and data of Play Store & Services but it didn't work. There is tons (23GB) of free space in the data folder and I have used autostarts to enable every app in every event as I had been messing around with this today (since I got the same error on my SGS once and some totally random unconnected app that I had disabled an event for that caused this) all to no avail.
I am going to just do a wipe and start again as I have tried everything I can think of..
You have to download sdcard fix for kit Kat from the play store and run it. You have to use that app if you have done a factory reset, flashed a rom, switched sdcards, etc. This will fix the problem.
Anyone have a Confirmed fix?

This is incorrect. I had SDFix already installed and set and the message came up. Actually, I reset my phone today for no reason as now on 2 apps it says have updates it is coming with the same message again! Though last time there were more apps needing updates so I am a little further along lol

It worked for me on my Note 3 after I had done a factory reset. It's not the same phone but I figured it would fix the problem.
Ah then u were lucky.
As you can see there is not really a lack of storage in the places where there usually would indicate a problem, usually the data or datadata folders depending on ROM used.
View attachment 2922093
I have tried:
Clearing app caches
LG Smartclean
Lucky Patcher - removing ODEX files
For updating Apps: removing the App's folder in data/app-lib
Clearing Play Store/Google Play Services cache/data then uninstalling all updates
This to delete any bad packages
Moving most apps to the SD card
With no success. It's not just the updates that won't install but new apps too.
*Apparently on Samsung phones you can try *#9900# then 'Delete Dumpstate/logcat'

No worries. It was expected on my lowly I9000 with only about 300MB for apps in the datadata folder but I just got my super modern G3 with 32GB storage/3GB RAM about a few weeks ago so I expected it would deal with anything thrown at it and I never expected it to have this same problem especially on the stock ROM! Actually I think I had more apps installed on the I9000 and it never came up with this error lol
I think after trying everything I could find online that I am going to flash the stock from from LG Flash instead of resetting as I have done and see if that fixes it..
**UPDATE: Well I thought I would deactivate all Xposed Framework modules...then I was able to install/update as normal! I re-enabled but this time I left XPackage Installer deactivated and it's all working! Perhaps if you have Xposed and Xpackage Installer activated to try this..and to think I spent the whole day resetting, reinstalling and reconfiguring....my initial suspicions were right on it just being some random thing :silly:LOL
This one worked for me
LG G3 5.0 rooted and it worked
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vinny.intsdfixer
FYI this method worked for me for everything except Google Play Services. Thanks to D0MINO I just deactivated my Xposed modules - rebooted - updated Play Services - reactivated - reboot - profit. Thanks!! (been annoying me for days)
So here is what I'm dealing with. A couple of weeks ago apps on my phone kept crashing. I was seeing a constant "Google Play Services has stopped" message and I was completely unable to use my phone. I ended up saying screw it and I did a factory reset.
The problem was still happening after a reset so I figured I should do a full wipe (Dalvik, cache, system, data) and reinstall the ROM (Cyan 11). Unfortunately that still didn't fix the problem.
Since then I've tried everything. I've ran "Fix Permissions" which seemed to work for about a day and then it started again. Sometimes rebooting the phone fixes the issue for a day but it always comes back. It's not always Google Play Services. It seems to be any random app on my phone that starts to constantly crash. Sometimes this happens from the phone's home screen, other times when I go into the app (gmail seems to be a problem more often than not). The phone was also just randomly rebooting, sometimes a few times a day and sometimes when trying to update apps I'll get various errors (package not signed, error 960, etc).
I finally decided that Cyanogenmod might be the problem. I've replaced my recovery (was CWM) but now I have TWRP. I downloaded Paranoid's latest ROM for the S3, did a factory reset, wiped Dalvik, system, data and cache. I also told TWRP to fix the file system in hopes that it would help and then I told it to Fix Permission.
Once I installed the ROM and the Google Apps, phone boots, I sign in....apps start crashing. I'm so lost. I don't know what else to do. Why would a phone that is freshly wiped have problems with apps crashing. This was happen with both Cyanogenmod and Paranoid. I'm running the same version/download of Cyanogen on my gf's S3 and it's been fine. The phone has been rooted since I got it almost 2 years ago and running Cyanogen this whole time. I only switched to Paranoid in hopes it would fix this problem.
Does anyone have any ideas on something I should try? Right now my phone is a pain to use, I'm constantly clearing crash pop ups and then just today it suddenly lost my google account and all my data was gone. No contacts, gmail empty, etc.
Silly but serious question, is play services installed? I've seen several people try to install Google Apps without play services installed and it will give this error without it being installed. I can't produce a screen shot for you as I'm not on a locked bootloader
From my CM11 S3
Well, although I've never specifically installed Google Play Services, it should be part of the Google Apps zip file I'm flashing along with the ROM. This is happening with 2 different ROMs with their respective Google Play App zip files.
I also just checked and it is listed in Apps>All.

Alright, I've seen this issue on several different posts. Just a suggestion, it's worth a try at this point.
Try removing play services from the system file, make a backup first. Reboot and then reinstall the backup you made, it should push it back into data/app

Certainly can't hurt. I'll give it a shot this evening and see if it helps.

By chance did you get a moment to try this?
From my CM11 S3
I didn't. I don't know why but the phone seems to be working correctly now. I don't understand why. I didn't do anything but suddenly things aren't crashing. It's been stable for 24 hours now. I didn't do anything so I don't know why but I'm just holding off until I see a crash. Still confused but glad it's working (except my GPS).
I'm honestly afraid to reboot it now. It hasn't worked this well in weeks. Normally I'll open gmail and get a crash 99% of the time. I reboot and it works for a bit but then starts crashing again. Same thing with other apps. Maybe it heard me talking about wanting to throw it out a window and it's got scared. =)

Firstly I want to apologize if there's a thread on this. I tried searching and didn't find anything. Google fails me as well.
For a few months now, Chrome has been driving me insane on my stock nordic Z3 (5.0.2 with the .690 firmware). I also have the most recent version of Chrome installed.
Every single time I open the app, it works for about 2 seconds, then completely freezes for around 15 seconds after which a message pops up stating "Chrome is not responding. Would you like to close it?" If I press "OK", it obviously closes the app and the problem appears again when I restart it. If I choose "wait", Chrome works just fine until the next time I open it. EDIT: The freezing problem started happening three times in a row a few days ago.
This happens every single time I open the app, whether launching it or opening it from the recent apps menu.
I'm pretty certain the problem has been around since the v39 build of Chrome, as 38 worked just fine. I have tried everything I can think of to fix it. Uninstalled updates and re-updated it, updating to lollipo didn't help, I also did a completely fresh install today (repairing via Sony Bridge for Mac) and it didn't help either. And apparently I can't go back to v38 anymore since lollipop doesn't seem to support it.
I would really want to use Chrome, as I've gotten used to it and enjoyed it quite a lot. I'd really appreciate the help.

Are you rooted? Unlocked bootloader?
You say you are on the Nordic version of .690, is that the original region for the device you bought and the area you reside in?
Can you revert back to KK by flashing a FTF for your device and region and try V38 again to see if that works still.

I have a completely untouched device. So no root, locked bootloader and it's always been that way. Thus Nordic is the original region of my device.
I'd rather not flash back to kitkat, but I can tell you that I tried reverting back to v38 before updating to lollipop and it worked normally without the freezing issue.
This is my version of chrome on Lollipop. Can you update to this? I am also not rooted so you should be able to update to this

Maybe try the beta version of chrome in case it's a bug which has been fixed but not yet rolled out to chrome. Perhaps try this first as it'll be quicker!
Perhaps it's some data associated with chrome that's getting pulled down after each restore. Perhaps you can try, on a desktop pc, backing up your bookmarks and then deleting them, and clearing chrome's data on your phone, then trying again? And if that doesn't work try getting rid of extensions (not that I think they should be pulling them down as chrome for android doesn't yet support them, although I'm sure I read years ago that one day they would). And anything else associated with your chrome account.
Another one, perhaps quicker (not sure) would be to see if you can associate your phone with a new google account with no previous chrome use and see if it goes wrong with that one. It would help to rule out account-related problems.
Another possibility is that it's not chrome causing the problem but something it relies on; google play services, for example. Perhaps clear data on any apps chrome could conceivably use.
I'm happy to report that my problem is now solved, though still a giant mystery.
My upper speaker broke and I had to get it replace under warranty. I got insanely lucky as they replaced both front and backside glass pieces, the frame, the screen module itself and of course the speakers. So I've now got a brand-new looking phone So happy.
Anyway, I complained about the software being a mess so they also did a complete reinstall and after that Chrome works absolutely perfectly. As magically does everything else too. Not yet a sign of lollipop's previous lagging and rebooting.
It still bugs me, however, that why would Chrome suddenly start having this unreasonable issue. I had tried everything suggested in this thread and nothing worked. My own clean install didn't work. I'm really quite bothered by this.
