Ever since I got my SIII, I've been having problems with the Play Store. Anytime I go to purchase a paid application, I get the error "Unable to retrieve information from the server [DF-DFERH-01]. Googling this error only shows me a bug that affected the GTalk a few months back. But the even more odd thing is, its starting to happen on my N7 as well. I can download free apps fine. It looks like it's having problems initilizing Google Wallet for the purchase. Wasnt having these problems with my other phone (EVO 4G LTE on Sprint). Is this a known bug with T-Mobiles networks? I've tried it on multiple wireless networks, as well as HSPA. Even had my buddy sitting right next to me try and he could download fine. I'm rooted on CM10 today, but I've tried 3-4 other ROMS with the same problem. Almost positive its tied into my Google account. Did the basic troubleshooting steps such as clearing the Play Store data/cache/uninstalled a Google Play Services update, and re-added my Google account. Is anyone else experiencing this? And if so, is there a known fix?

I did actually. I switched to ParanoidAndroid for a second to see a new build. I screwed around for a few seconds then uninstalled it.

So currently you are running at which dpi? 99 percent of the time market errors are caused by dpi

How would I tell that? It was set to stock when I flashed PA. And I set everything back before I flashed back.
Could also be a problem with your account like you mentioned. I think some people have had problems when having multiple services associated with that account. Maybe create a new account and see if it still happens. Dont know how inconvenient that may be for you.
But if its happening on different roms and devices then its surely the account. Maybe contact google support?

Yeah. That's kind of worst case scenario. I know they're a PITA to get in touch with. That's why I was seeing if there is anyone else with this problem that could possibly help me fix it.

Is there going to be support for Google Wallet now that we have ICS? I tried it, but it complains it's not certified and exits.
Its up to "the carriers". Recently the big 4 want to start their own NFC Waller thing going.

Still can't get it to work, I'm pretty sure nothing is wrong with either of the phones, i tried a 3g slide also and it didn't work. Could someone maybe give me like a step by step thing for maybe security settings? I don't see any relating to the fb app, also looking at the apps settings, theres nothing that says facebook for android.
Same problem here. No solution yet.
Anyone?
try with another device. Do you have tablet or any other phone?
How about desktop can you upload it from there?

It works just fine with other devices. I thought it could be setting in facebook but it works everywhere but on my SGS3. And I think problem started after the last update of the app.
Agree, I have latest Rocket Rom v7 on my Galaxy Note and I get same error with the latest Facebook update. It's cleary a program error since I can upload pictures to Facebook with FaceUp!
I think this is really frustrating and I hope that FB will fix this.
Works on neither of my android phones. Desktop works of course, maybe ill try from a non android phone?

Try to change visibility settings when upload a photo.
Try clearing app data in your applications settings for the app.
Nope didn't work, and for visibility , I can only change the visibility for individual pictures in the mobile uploads album , unless im missing something?

I don't know the fix for this, but for alternative tool you could use the Instagram app and it's doing great job posting pictures.
Check on Google Play for Instagram

Switched over to this app last night, also T-Mo, Southern CO and the app itself after latest update is trash. Constant FC and the like

So after this weekend i believe its a facebook app error and really needs to be looked into
I installed a green theme tonight from one of the posts in this thread. I am presently running Darkside Evolution V8. I previously installed a red theme from the same post so I know it works, at least before. Tonight I installed the theme, flashed DS cache wipe, reboot. Phone says "android is updating" so, ok. After it reboots I get the following message (see screen shot) I click the button to try and sign in and I get the other message (screen shot) I tried rebooting, flashing Gapps, clearing data from account services. Any thoughts on why a theme would have caused that? Or maybe an underlying issue? My phone works fine btw. I can use gmail, playstore, everything. I just get that awful notification once in awhile. I Terribly annoying! Thanks so much for any help!

OK, so what your saying is that the theming and the sign in issues were just coincidence? I guess that makes sense as theming shouldn't affect your Google account in any way. Is this a recently developing issue or a known issue Google just needs to deal with? Well, thanks!

So I flashed a bunch of roms over 2-3 days trying to find something different that I'd like. Now no matter what I try, I can't get this to go away.
I've searched and experimented for the past 2 days and I can't get anywhere.
-clear app cache
-clear app data
-remove updates
-format sd card
-factory reset phone
-turn off location services
-turn off wifi
-try new apn
-install stock rom
-install various other roms
-delete cache, permissions, etc
-different gmail accounts
-sign out, reboot, sign in
I've literally tried everything out there that I can find by searching. The last thing I haven't done that I will have to try if I can't do anything else is to "un-root" my phone back to stock.
The weird thing is if I Check the play store, it says apps are installed. But they aren't.
Any one out there have any ideas?
Going back to stock won't fix it either. It a problem on googles end.

It allows you to change your location to france, Canada or wherever which in turn changes your IP address. It doesn't change your location permanently of course, only while your connected to the app. I looked online for ways to fix the package file invalid error and this was one way posted. It definitely works if you have this annoying problem. I even went ahead and purchased the pro version of the app I posted. Lol.

I still have not fixed the issue. I was stuck on trying 2 to 3 apps that refused to work. Looking across the board, I am able to download probably 80% of the apps that I try. Nothing has allowed me to get the other 20% that refuse to work so far.
I've tried the VPN app....I don't think there is anything else out there on my end that I can do. It's weird, I can download 5 apps in a row, then one app will give me the error, then I can keep on chugging if I choose a different app.
its happenning to alot of people, myself included...no big deal, as no app is "life critical"...
when google gets it fixed, it will be back to business as usual, so just be patient

I got a recent update to Google Play Services and now it appears that any purchased apps no longer work. I've noticed this on a number of ROMs so it's not a ROM issue.
I've wiped Dalvik/cache and even cleared data/cache for both Google Play Store and Google Play Services. Nothing seems to be making it work.
I wonder if anybody else has experienced this issue and (hopefully) have a fix for it?
Thanks.
