Error 921- Cannot DL anything from Market?

I know others have experienced this error. No one mentions a fix. Just flashed lightspeed 4.3 and its virtually unusable without being able to download from the market. Can some kind soul enlighten me?

This self resolved after about 30 minutes of trying.

When that happened to me I deleted the market and flashed newer gapps

Before doing all that, try clearing cache and data from the Market (now called "Google Play Store") in App settings. That did the trick for me.

I had to manually select my Gmail account from within Google Play..

how I fixed

if you're not using Clockwork rom manager you should. I have cwm5.0 and I rooted my phone with cm9-ics and was getting a 921 error. I went and ran the "permissions fix" in CWM and everything works fine now

Permissions fix in recovery can cause its own set of problems, like borking your contacts photos, and a couple other things I can't remember off-hand. Easily fixable, but it would probably be better to target a more specific fix for the Market/Play rather than trying such a global fix. Just my opinion...

Google Play cant update apps error 921
yo,
i am running sgs2 with CheckRom RevoHD v4 and had error 921 on google play/androidmarket. restarted phone seems fine all updates worked.
jess

This error is still happening

its not a problem with your devices, i cant even see my apps on the website. its a google play glitch and is wide spread but not every device appears to be affected in the same way. very strange.
i have tryed all fixes and still the same

921 could be only CM
After installing 3.5.16 it gave me the 921 error.
I have a Moto XT701, and I use ava's version of CM7.
could this be related to CM specifically? Anyone got the error with a stock ROM?

next time it happens can you log into google talk, I remember back in the day if that wasnt signed in market would be borked

Solution
After some digging here is what worked for me:
I added my wifes gmail account to accounts and sync
I changed google play store to the new account
I checked to see if updates were working (they were)
I changed google play store back to my account
I removed my wifes gmail account (system settings > accounts and sync > select account > remove account
It is working fine now. I can update and download without error.

Hi,
I have a Navon Platinum 10 tab, ICS 4.0.4 on it. I had this error, too.
I read some alternatives for fixing google play errors, but I tired to delete my account and add acount and clear cache and so one... I resolved that by this way:
- turn on your tab device
- do not start play store application!
- in Settings-->Applications menu, on All tab search for gogle play application, and clear cahe and data too. You need to do this only once time.
- run Root Browser on your device ( if you have'n this, than download, install, or you may use Root Explorer if you have)
- find vending.apk in System/App folder
- long click on it, a local menu will appear. Chose Permissions.
- set permissons 777 for this file ( klikk on every checkbox).
- close all running apps
-restart your device, and enjoy
It works fine, Since I set this permissions, I don't get any errors from google play,
Hope, it will helps.
P.S.: sorry for my misstakes in english language

[Q] I messed up my Nexus! please help

Basically I tried to force my phone to get the 4.3 OTA update by forcing Google System Framework to stop and clearing data/cache. It didn't work and it messed up Google Play.
Another website said to delete my Google account, restart my phone, delete play store data, and then add my account back. So I did that and it let my accounts sync which is good but I still can't download anything from the play store.
How do I fix it?

Try to similarly clear data and cache from both running applications
Google play services
Google play store
Then run play store and see what happens

I have exactly the same problem for the same reason. And, tried the same suggested steps without success.
There has to be a simple way to restore the download ability from the Google Play Store without wiping everything. The download error dialogs I get are all the same: "…could not be downloaded due to an error. [Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]

Are there any risks in restoring my phone? I can't seem to figure it out any other way, but I am worried something bad will happen if I restore it.

by restoring do you mean restoring an earlier nandroid through recovery?
I'm afraid there are risks with everything, although restoring is normally ok, although you won't guarantee that'll resolve the issue that you've currently got, you may also lose text messages and other system changes made post restore.
You could always take a backup before restore so that you have an additional safe point to return to if you decide that option although.
I'd be tempted to re try all the changes you've already done in one go (wiping the various three apps and also removing Google account), as in the past when I've experienced play store issues it's those type of changes that have resolved it rather than restore, which I'd normally use in the event of more severe problems ie corruption, data loss or bad Rom flash.

Fixed!
I believe I solved my own problem basically with a bunch of “Clear Data”s and reboots. Nothing major lost and no restore.
1. Settings > Apps > All (flick right) and find Google apps that are not downloading. Clear data (button). Also, find Google Services Framework and its Clear data (button). Reboot.
2. Settings > Accounts > Google > tap account name to view all items sync’d. Remove account (dropdown menu). Reboot.
3. Repeat the first step including the reboot.
4. Settings > Accounts > Add an account > Google. Existing (button) and select the account you previously removed. Reboot.
5. Wait a little, the problem apps should restore and begin their downloads to sync or update.
6. For some reason other Google apps remained a problem including Maps. Repeat the Clear data steps for these and the Google Services Framework. Remove Google account again. Select the existing account again.
7. Everything should now mostly be back to normal. Locations in Maps were all still there, but downloaded maps were gone.

After 4.3 update Google Now does not show any card, how to solve it?

I got 4.3 by clearing the Google Service Framework cache. Now Google now does not show any of my cards; not the stock price, neither the calendar, etc.
Do you know any trick that can make google now work again?
Thank you.

Think it's cuz you cleared the cache instead of data. To fix it, I think you need to go to system settings and remove your google account then sign back in.

Wait! Before you do the above, try turning Google Now on and off first in the settings.
It worked for me.

Did any of the methods above work?

play store error message: 'RPC:S-7:AEC-0'

hi everyone. i have rooted using CF Root for my SM G900F
installed alliance rom fine using philz touch recovery( am now on PAC MAN ROM so i know this issue isnt ROM specific)
i am unable to install any apps via playstore or pushing to phone from online store. getting error message:
'RPC:S-7:AEC-0'
driving me crazy. have cleared data and cache from play store and google services, removed google account, rebooted, added account.
still same error message, any ideas. phone is pretty unusable without apps. gmail works, play books works, just not able to add apps.
have done all work arounds possible but no joy.
i have been able to restore apps from a titanium backup but paid versions dont register as paid and i cant update any apps
very frustrating
does anyone have any ideas before i log a support call with the google boffins?

The usual answer is to update your Google play store app. And failing that, wipe the cache, reboot and then recreate the Google account. You didn't say whether you have the latest play store app version.
Did you try resolving the issue exactly as follows?
RPC:AEC:0 error (CPU/RAM/Device/Identity failure)
First ensure that you are using the latest version of the Google Play Store app.
If the problem persists, then:
Go to settings > application > Play Store > clear data & clear cache
Go to accounts > Google > remove account
Reboot to recovery mode > wipe system cache
Reboot phone normally
Settings > account > Google > log in.

Same issue here as well can't update apps or download them either. Seems to me its a google play services error something to do with that. I'm still waiting for Google to get back to me. I have not had my account for four days now. I thought it would update its self but no joy.

yes, had a support call with google this morning. they escalated the support ticket and emailed me stupid fixes that i already told them dont work.
its a google server issue for sure
i have managed to install a titanium backup of most of my apps but the paid ones dont register as being paid and i cant update anything at the moment.

Account issue
It appears that this is an account issue. I am having the same problem on multiple devices with my Google Apps account, but my gmail account is working just fine on those devices.
Google is evidently aware of it, and its gotten a little press on Android Police. Whatever you do, don't listen to what people are saying and factory reset the device. IT doesn't help, and all it winds up doing is removing access to all of your paid / no paid apps.
A small discussion has sprung up on the Google Wallet forum here.

Definitely a play server issue. I have the same error code started about 2 days ago. It's on my s4, nexus 7 and tf201. If I log on with a different account then there is no problem. If you log in through windows to the play store then you will also not be able to see your purchased apps. I'll give them a call tomorrow if it hasn't resolved itself.

I am in the same boat. When cache clean, removing and adding account didn't help I tried factory reset. Didn't help. Rooted and went to CM. Still nothing. At that point reached Google and was told they will get back as it looks like a known issue. Not a single app on my phone right now as nothing is restored from play store. It's very annoying. Have this issue on my Nexus 4 and 7. Although I did all this on 4 only.

I just wanted to let everyone know what my fix ended up being after days of troubleshooting....
I went to my PC and went to google and looked up the Google play device manager, when on this site I chose my device and allowed it to find my device on Google maps after finding it I pressed the ring my device button and also the lock screen button and changed my password... When I did this I was then able to download stuff again....
I spoke with Google about this also and they said this error is caused when your device is not synchronized with the Google servers and what needs to be done is your device needs to be reconnected to the server, so other fixes are removing your account, uninstalling google play store updates and clearing cache, clearing cache for Google play store and restarting your device, then readding your account and attempting to download again.... Google will recommend you format your phone but I recommend not doing this cause you will lose all your apps and not be able to download them ... it did not fix my issue, I tried all of these and the first I mentioned worked for me after 5 days of issues...
Good luck all,

hi, i tried everything from above and did not work. After some more research it worked like this:
1 - . On your Android device , we go to Settings
2 - . Then Applications, and inside we go to the All tab
. 3 - Here locate and click on Google Services Framework
. 4 - Once inside we delete the cache, then We delete the data and force stop.
. 5 - repeat these operations also advise with Google services with Google Play and Play Store
. 6 - After reboot phone and attempt to download / update an application and see if everything went well .

Unfortunatly google play store has stopped

Ok I keep on getting the error unfortunately google play store has stopped. I have gone into the application manager and cleared cache and data then opened up again and press ok and same thing. Deleted the app and then reinstalled and again I still cannot log in. Tried going into Google Play services to uninstall updates but its greyed out and I cannot click on this.
Not sure if app Lucky Patcher is messing things up on phone? Running Versions’ 5.0.1
Any other options?
