Hi,
I am unable to download anything from Market Place.
Whenever I want to download anything from Market Place, the tab will show "Download".
However, even when I press download, I was always prompted the error message, "Error proccessing purchase". I would like to state that I am downloading free app, not paid app.
I have to do a workaround, by going to web-based Market Place to "Install" the app.
Afterwhich, when I go back to my Market Place, the same app which I had problem downloading would be shown "Install", instead of "Download".
And when I click on "install", the download will go through with nowproblem.
At the same time, I have no problem updating all my exisitng apps.
I have tried clearing the data, but the problem still persist.
May I know what would happen if I do a factory reset?
Can I do a Titanium Backup and do a factory reset after that?
And if a factory reset, doesn't help, I'll just restore my system data.
Thanks guys, hope someone can help.
Are you on the stock Rom?
This has happened to me also, a solution (that didn't work for me) was to remove your google account, clear the cache and market data, then re-add your google account. I still have the problem but I have a google account and a google apps account, when the downloads don't work on my google account, I just use my google apps account.
I had this happen too, I did the same as the above post^
The market has been acting up the last few days...I guess they are getting ready for the ICS release...coming in the next few weeks...

I've not noticed any problems lately (beyond the usual having to refresh a few times to get a page to load, and having to power cycle or disconnect and reconnect wifi to get an app to start installing).
I had this exact issue about 5 weeks ago.
After exchanging emails with Google Tech folks, it was determined that my Google Talk account had logged out.
They said that your market is tied to your google talk account.
I went through, deleted everything, re-added my google account, and made sure the GTalk was working, and bam, market began working.
I have a google apps account too.
Thanks guys for the response.
I tried removing my google account, cleared the cache and data, and re-added my google account, it still failed to work.
This is really frustrating. However, I was able to download Angry Bird Rios just now.
The funny thing was, the tab was showing "Install", instead of the usual "Free".
I am thinking that the probable reason why it was showing "Install", instead of "Free" was because I used to have this game in my account.

but i am still getting nowhere with all the solutions provided.
jus tried to log in the my google talk account, it's still the same.
now i am seeing viber with the "Install" tab on my Market, whereas the rest of the other apps are showing "Free".
I had the same issue, and the only way I was able to fix it was with a factory reset. I backed up all of my non-system apps with Titanium Backup, then wiped my data. When going back to restore apps and data, just let the Market re-download any apps you have backed up to your account, and use Titanium Backup only to restore the missing apps and data.
That would be my next suggestion. Complete backup, wipe, and reinstall. Once reinstalled, be careful not to click install more than once on an app -- this seems (to me) to cause instability. If an app doesn't start installing a few seconds after you hit the install button, disconnect and reconnect your wifi. If that doesn't clear it (although it always does, for me) an alternate method is to completely cold-boot the tablet.

this is incredible.
my google apps have stopped working, so i can't access the market or gmail.
I have deleted all the data in the application, so that i can reenter my credentials, but now it won't connect via 3G, Gprs or Wifi. "no stable connection available"
meaning i can't install a backup app, so that i could do the hard reset and configure again.
i can't backup in restore mode, because i have the new ROM, so it fails.
What is wrong with android? retarded? why can't i backup from my PC?
I have been long enough on WMobile to know how not easy and not intuitive it can be,
but give me a break.
does anyone know a solution how i can make gmail and the market again without having to loose all my settings, apps etc...?
Google never made a backup app.
Third party developers can not access the Google apps to back up the data within them, as they are closed source.
various other reasons....
looks to me like you are going to have to start from scratch... and watch out for that google apps thing, never clear the data on that thing cos you will get that exact error and HR is the only way out....
not fun, but there it is.
thanks rhedgehog for your quick reply
Thing is that my Gmail app stopped working, it didn't sync anymore 1week+
i searched for solutions on the net, and found that alot of people succeded with deleting their gmail data, and reentering their credentials.
I thought android was finally the answer to a simpler way to use your phone, but this is a step back imho.
solution
Well i found the cure to my disease...
i downloaded myBackup directly from the internet, and copied it to my SD-Card where i installed it from. made the backup, reset the device, installed myBackup again, recovered everything.
now Gmail, Market, etc works again, and i have all my apps and Data.
just watch out when using that before an update. it's third party so there's no guarantee it will work across ROM updates...in fact i know some people had major problems with that over the 1.76 - 2.73 update.
I flash roms not so often as crack flashers. But when I do, or even if I just have to do a factory reset (say, if I want to change the main google account, mainly to prioritize which gets to use the built-in google Talk), I come across Market link issues with TB Pro.
The account I want the apps linked with is NOT the primary google account. It used to be before but I made a new email and such. So I checked the proper settings in TB, such as always associate apps to selected active profiles, etc. But when I restore it is mixed between the two accounts. Some apps will be linked to one account or even both.
I've tried many things. I used market doctor to no avail. I killed market links, wiped data from Market in both Settings and in TB. I've tried rebooting several times. Now I am just going to uninstall/reinstall to see if it will associate to the selected market account.
Sometimes all the apps will link to the right account. But then later on it will be mixed again, or just show some apps as uninstalled or missing. But when I search for them in Market it shows it as installed.
I hope someone has a definite solution for this. I have searched XDA and checked the TB wiki. Thanks in advance.
Did selecting the account to use in TB preferences> account for android market not work? That is the reason it's there, I'm assuming.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Yeah i checked it to the right account. But sometimes it reverts back to bring mixed.
Right now it's fine. I had to uninstall everything, check the TB settings, and reinstall. I also made sure the account was selected in the Market app.
But after making a backup in recovery, some apps weren't linked. But market doctor fixed it.
Still, i wonder what makes the apps become linked to different accounts afterwards.. Or lose its links.
So i was clearing frameworks service on my nexus 4 and nexus 10 to try to force the OTA update. I found out the hard way that this is stupid and can seriously harm stuff.
First of all, i got problems with play store. I got errors when downloading app updates from google play.
After searching for a solution i found that I had to remove my google account from my phone and then add it again. That worked.
However once I updated to 4.3(didnt get the OTA so i used the adb method) the problems came back - it would not sync my primary account.
So i deleted again the account, cleaned framework and google play data.
Now it looks like i seriosuly f* up things. I can log in to google play but all my installed apps are gone (under "my apps")
When i login to the web version, both my nexus 4 and nexus 10 have disappeared from my devices. It only lists my old ones, that i dont have anymore.
Under "all apps" i do still see my app history (incl purchases), so at least some data was saved.
Is there anyhting i can do to
1. link my devices
2. see my installed apps?
Thanks in advance.
-edit: SOLVED!
Here's what happened - by deleting my primary account, a secondary account became the primary one so all app data was linked to that one.
I deleted all other accounts except the primary one, and with that app data was again linked to the primary account.
Do a hard reset.

I began having an issue earlier today with Google Play where I got an unknown error 110. I thought maybe it was just bad connection, but I still had the issue on WiFi. I looked around for about an hour for solutions, and found two common and relevant fixes - clear Google play cache and factory reset. I tried the first and there was nothing to clear. I then tried to install a 3rd app and it failed to open the .apk. I also made sure my phone allowed unknown sources, and my settings crashes every time I hit security. After all of this failing, I decided to factory reset, and everything is still the same, except the Google Play error is now 406 with the same effect. Is there a good way to get this fixed?
Currently using Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 with 4.4.2.

Well go to settings--> Application manager-->Find Google Play Store-->Clear Defaults and Clear Data and see if it works.
If not...sign out from your Email Id delete it..and readd..
These 2 work for me everytime

Already tried that, both before and after the factory reset. Both buttons are greyed out. I also was forced to re-add my Gmail account after the reset. Both my usual and backup Gmail accounts have the issue in the Google Play store.

Is your play services upto date?? Need a playstore and playservices apk?
The best thing is to wait. ^_^
It shall resolve on its own.

I still cannot open any .apk file manually, giving the error "unable to open file". I'm not sure waiting for Google Play to update will fix this. Also what about settings->security crashing?
This is insane!
I go to playstore to check updates. It says "Error checking updates". I repeat the process and get frustrated. I clear data on playstore and go to add my account again only it brings up the side menu and when I move that out of the way, it says "try again". I hit that button and the menu slides back out! And I repeat this process and get frustrated.
So I did all the cache clearing, data clearing stuff for play, play services. I have no download manager. And still this problem.
I did not and will not remove and try to add my google account again because then I might lose access to my contacts. In fact, I haven't even checked if they still sync. If they don't, I suppose I could do that.
Other than that, what can I do?
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Lol hello again sir
Go to www.gooogle.com/contacts
From any web browser, are your contacts in place?
Guessing you haven't but reboot your phone, cycle your WiFi and see if anything prompts you to sign in or sync.
Then go to settings/ accounts / Google and make sure it's allowed and syncing, check both sync and Google
Re-open Google play and see if it's working.
Oh and perhaps change WiFi to another or test on mobile data if you don't have a second signal to use.
=) Thanx for your help. I can get contacts in a browser. I rebooted a couple times, did wifi and mobile, and nothing. It syncs everything in the account as well. I just can't use play store. I cleared data and cache on playstore and services. And I can access play from a browser; so I didn't get banned or something. It's specific to this phone, it occurred sometime after the update to the latest firmware. I'm not sure if it's related.

Only thing I can think of would be to wipe all play services, store then reinstall.
This has happened before?
First time.... What is the best way to restore this stuff on the stock ROM w/o factory reset?

So you can usually clear data on all Google services.
But if that doesn't work then boot to recovery and just wipe system, not the whole phone.
This will mean you have to set up your phone again but your storage will remain unaffected. So images, files, music won't be touched
