Hello everyone.
I can't install or update any apps because Play Store doesn't see any Google account - it says I need to log in but I am already in.
I think I know what happened. My friend wanted to delete some apps (docomo, Google) which he doesn't need and after factory reset docomo apps were installed but some Google weren't.
So, could you tell me which apps are installed (with APK names if possible) on the device at start?

If your friend just deleted those apps from within your devices settings app, a factory reset will restore those apps again.
System apps are only permanently lost if they are removed with high privileges (having root access).
Can't you log in manually in play store or remove your current account from the phone and then reconnect it?
Also, did it help to delete the data of play store as well as cache?

Hello everybody,
I've used a temp gmail account (the famous one we all have for receiving spam) when I received and set up my Desire Z. The problem is that I've downloaded not many but nice applications (some are paid) and now I would like to restart from 0 and link my phone to a clean gmail account (and market account).
Is there any way of migrating one market account to another? basically having the apps downloaded or purchased under [email protected] migrated to [email protected]?
If not, anyway of retreiving apk's from my rooted phone and then installing them after a factory reset and a link to that new account? (was looking into /system/app but it seems like most of the apps are not in, nothing found on the sd)
Thank you in advance for helping me
what I suggest you do is just download the apps you paid for and keep the ones you have on your phone then migrate to the new gmail. You can do this by going in settings>applications>manage apps then (not sure if this is the right one) clear the cache on your market app. Open market and it will request you to login with your gmail. Do so with the new gmail and bammo! If you ever accidentally remove the paid apps, just login the old account again, so be sure to write down the info incase you forget later down the road.
Probably not the exact solution you were hoping for but it's the best I can come up with!
Note: If clearing market cache doesn't remove the logged in account, try clearing the cache of some other official google apps that require sync.
Note 2: doing this will not migrate your contacts, but you can always copy all your contacts from one account to another by logging into gmail on the pc and manually migrating them there.
Hope this helps!
Hi,
I have xperia Arc and ICS 4.0.3 stock ROM.
I can't log into Market/Play. It says "Authentication required. Please sign into your google account". I'm already signed in.
I can use Talk, Gmail, Map with Latitude, and other app fine but not the Market.
Is there anything I should do to gain access to the market?
Google account is already sync'd too. I can even see my phone in my google account but not under "my device" in Google Play.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
Hi.
I think this can help you. Go to Settings - Applications. Search Google Play Store. Select. Press Clear Data. Go back. Start the App. Try and let me know if this work. I use this when an App is not working right.
Thank you for the reply.
I tried it but I still can't use the Market.
Got the same error.
I'm sorry. Can you access Google Play from a computer?
Yes, I can access to google from my computer fine but my phone is not showing under "my device" tab in google play.
In order to have my device appear there, I need to access Google Play on my device first which I can't. I don't know what to do...
Well, I think you must made a backup of your contacs, SMS and App's try performing a factory reset: Settings -- Backup & reset -- Factory data reset. The phone will restart as a brand new one, so you can configure all again.
Be aware that this procedure will erase all data on phone. Apps, app data and personal data. So, the backup is very important.
Factory reset doesn't seem to solve the problem either. I tried it before but it didn't work. :/
That's weird... Try adding another GMail account to the app, is the only thing that I can figure out. Hope it helps you!
Hello there, I've experienced the same when my device's date/time are not well configured. Try checking if your date and time are configured. If you date it's something like "May 5, 1920" believe me Market/Play wont work.
If google play have a update, remove the update, go to Google play again, then google play installs the update again. With update I mean a update from Google play self. You must go to the list of installed apps, there you will see if there is a update installed.
Thank you guys for the replies.
Methods tested:
1. Adding new accounts : Didn't work.
2. Uninstalled Google play update : Didn't work.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
3. Date time checked: Correct date/time but didn't work.
4. Tried to clear Market cache : Didn't work.
Any suggestion?
Well, I run out of suggestion...
Try "Settings" - "Applications". Search "Google Play Store". Choose "Uninstall Updates", "Clear Data" and "Clear Memory Cache" (sorry if the names are different, I use spanish in my phone). After that, try to login with the old version of Google Play Store.
tried that already. Still can't use it.
Anyways, thanks mate.
Well, lets keep trying. What about flashing your phone with GB? The app in this firmware is Google Market, the very old one. Flash and open the app without performing any update.
Maybe it's a failure from something else. Google play use GOOGLE PARTNER SETUP and GMAIL to login to Google play store. Maybe it help to clear the data from that, otherwise I think that a clean flash of the FW is the best.
You are connected from a country that is blocked from Google like Iran or Syria;
You have to use a something like VPN connection; But it won't work if you connected to google play without it at the first time.
You have to delete the program and it's data (or reset your phone) then try connecting to google play after connecting to a proxy connection like VPN.

Not, he's not in a blocked country. If you read all the posts, you will find that he can access Google Play from the web, but being his phone not recognized, can't install any app.
I don't know what else to do to help him...
Missing apps after Flashing my first rom
Hi
I did everything I was supposed to do, used CWM manually to wipe data/factory, went from jellybean 4.11 to CNA 3.6 and chose the gapps package without picassa + camera extras.
I used TBackup Pro (apps and data) and did a nandroid and saved my complete Sd card contents to my pc for safekeeping. Then I did the flashing
I thought gapps had ALL the google apps included...
Some apps did not reinstall like Google Play (music player) which was a system app and the play store says it isnt available in my country (canada). I never had the cloud feature as far as I know in the official JB rom, just the music player.
Other system type apps were probably different versions ie email client, clock, gallery, stock browser, currents, android keyboard, exchange services...anyway all of those have a line through them in TBackup.
Also,, I thought all my desktop layout/folders would be preserved like it did once before when I unlocked bootloader and rooted.
So... looking at Tbackup in the restore section it has restore all system data 73 instances..is that the same as app data? Is this the data/settings I restore for the apps?
I thought all my settings and stuff would/could be preserved, I even tried to pull it out of the nandroid via Tbackup.. sat there for an hour trying to restore 1 app (email) while the busy indicator kept swirling.
Seems like backing up apps is redundant as my google account restores them. I want the data /saved settings etc.
What am I missing here?..obviously it didnt go like the videos i watched.
And HOW the heck do I get the stock google music player back onto this install?
BTW this is a nice rom. no problems so far and very customizeable.

Use something like Market Enabler to spoof a U.S. carrier, and then download it.

As for your other issues, you need to read up on Titanium Backup.
1) You shouldn't restore system apps/data across different ROM versions;
2) You should only restore user app data when the app is the same version;
3) Yes, you are correct, you do not need to restore apps if you are going to download them from the Play Store.
Thx Efrant...well I was able to find and download 3 different versions of it and place on my sdcard, It launched but would not install...even when I was completely offline. I read in one thread where someone suggested putting it in /system/apps but I never saw any results in that thread regarding the suggestion.
I saw a few proxy type apps which seemed only to work with a browser.
I found market enabler...loaded it with T-Mobile info..cleared my play store cache, and was able to download...but got an unknown error -24 during install.
any suggestions?

I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace S5380i running on android 2.3.6. I have already rooted my mobile and transferred most of the applications on SD card to clear some internal space. I actually also deleted Google Play services, Google Play Books and Gmail as I am not using them. All other apps I re-installed such as Google Maps are OK apart from Google Play Store. It was initially showing No connection Retry.
I tried some methods posted on the website but nothing works. I tried clearing data and force-stopping the app, then reboot but after a while the app crashed when I tried downloading an application. I got this message: "The application Google Play Store (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again"
I wiped also cache through the system reboot but I had the same problem but also sth strange happened, Google Play Books app re-appeared in my menu.
I tried also deleting hosts.txt from \system\etc folder and even editing it as suggested (There was only one line on my hosts.txt: 127.0.0.1 localhost):
127.0.0.1 localhost
#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
but I had the same problem after a while.
I finally tried changing my Google account password and this helped only for a little bit as I got the same message. I get this message even when I am trying to download an app from the web version of Google play.
Can somebody help me please? Any ideas?

Play Store needs the Google Play services (GMS) & Google Services Framework (GSF)!
You deleted them, so its your own fault.
Reinstall Play Services should fix it.
restore stock rom using odin and dont delete the files madron said and you should be good to go!
Problem solved

I didn't uninstall GSF, just GPS. However I found the solution to my problem. I downloaded GAPPS and flashed them, thus removed previous installation of Google Play Store and the rest of gapps. Immediately after rebooting my mobile, it started looking for updates. I uninstalled again the Google Play Services and everything works fine just to free some more space. The only difference is now that Google Play Store is installed in the internal phone memory and I don't intend to move it to the SD card again.

TIP: if you struggle with memory problem then you can move some essential apps like Google Play Store, G Maps, YouTube etc.
Just when you update an app from Play Store, lets say you update G Maps, you got 2 Google Maps in your device that lack your memory.
The first one Google Maps is in your system by the Rom and the second one is in your Root "Data/App/" (which is your Internal Memory).
So I suggest you to move all essential apps from Data/App to System/App and remove old apps which are outdated in your system. After that reboot and enjoy with your free memory.
Whatsapp will not work on my galaxy ace, it is in a perpetual loop asking if it can backup to google drive via my gmail account. I repeatedly answer yes, but then it asks me to install Google Play Store. I thought GPS was installed - checked applications and yes it is. I try to "skip" this step as this is an option, but just go round in a perpetual loop with whatsapp. I have uninstalled and reinstalled whatsapp - several times now for it to repeatedly ask for me to install Google Play Store. In desperation, I have just uninstalled GPS, and am now trying to re-install it.
I keep getting messages that "this browser is no longer supported" and a link to "Google Play Store app" which fails and connection times out every single time. What do I do? (Step by step instructions required!)
It took my a long time to find a solution, none of the solution I have tried many solution on the internet but none of that is working. So I decided to write one to save someone time for someday
Symptom:
1. Displaying "Unknown Issue with Google Play Services" on the notification area for a app. Any apps relied on Google Services like Google Map, Play Store, or even some game like Pokemon Go is not working.
2. When go to settings of selecting Google Account, it force closed. So you can't remove or add Google account / change the sync settings anymore.
Root Cause:
Still unknown, may be due to some bug in Mi 5s offical firmware issue. Even I have clean install of offical global rom but still having this issue after 2 -3 days of use. I dont have such issue when using another phone before but just having this issue when using Mi 5s. (I am purchased two Mi 5s and both are having the same issue)
Solution:
0. Root privilege is required, there are many thread already teaching you how to root Mi 5s so I won't go through the details of rooting Mi 5s here
1. Download Google Play services 9.8.77 (448-135396225) apk and put in the internal storage
(Due to some restriction in xda, I can't post the apk links or upload to this thread, please search in link on the internet, the MD5 for this apk is 1B552C81376A29E8F1F4B2ED9F990B11)
2. Delete Google Play Service
Since Google Play Service is come with the ROM and it is "system app", root privilege it required to remove a system app, to remove a system app, you can search "system app remover" on play store, there are many application which help you to remove system app with one click. For me, I am using a paidware called Titanium Backup so I dont have any recommendation with the above free system remover, but I think most of them should work.
After you have deleted Google Play Service, a pop up about "com.google.gms has stopped" will keep popping continuously even you click "cancel" everytime, but don't panic! Now just hold your power button and Reboot the device
3. Install Google Play Service
After rebooting the device, the "com.google.gms has stopped" pop up will still keep popping continuously. When you click "cancel", there is a 1 second small time gap before the next pop up come in, so make use of the time gap to locate the Google Play Service you have downloaded on the internal storage and install it.
4. Add Google account
After the installation, the pop up will be gone. However, all of the Google account which has configuration on this device are also gone, so you need to add it back as usual.
That's it. Try to open Google Map now
