Anyone help with this annoying problem I'm recently experiencing?
I've never had this problem before, but for no reason (i've not installed any apps recently or changed ROM) I am unable to install apps to my phone via my PC google play browser.
All I get is 'You don't have any devices' - and when I try install an app it says 'You haven't accessed the Google Play Store app (the white shopping bag icon) on your device with this email account.
Clearly I have because I just installed a free game from my phone and I can the see the game installed from the PC play store browser in my apps list.
I have tried forcing the Google Play app to stop and clearing data, logging out of my PC browser and trying again but no luck, I have reinstalled GAPPS and my ROM with a cache/davlic wipe but same results.
All I can think of is because my original email was c......... @googlemail.com and one day it asked me if I wanted c........ @gmail.com and to merge the two accounts together, which I clicked yes to. So when setting my phone up for the first time I use c........ @googlemail.com but then it shows up as c......... @gmail.com when I look at my account settings....
Really annoying problem!!
same issue with Galaxy Note II
No, it's not because of changing email addresses. It has to do with changing ROM.
I changed my ROM from samsung note II, to CM10, and this problem started occurring. I'm also thinking it has something to do with titanium backup breaking market links

I don't know if it's the ROM. I've tried many ROMs on my Nexus 7, Nexus 4, and Galaxy Ace, sometimes even switching everyday of the week and I've never one had this issue.
I'd talk to Google support if I were you. The only thing I have issues with is my device list. It shows two Nexus 7s because my first one died after 7 days and I had to exchange it for a new one, which also activated... and you can't remove devices from your account.
Titanium Backup "market doctor"
Could it be Titanium Backup's market doctor? Perhaps this problem started when I linked all system and user apps to the market.
It also shows a really old nexus 7 that I've sold long ago. Notwithstanding, I can still use Google play on my device without any issue.

I've never used TB market doctor because all of my backups linked properly to the market when I restored them. I would guess that isn't the issue though, because all it does is repair link to the market so apps show up as downloaded and can be updated.
It sounds like it could be an account issue with the email/merging thing you did.
spoke to google
I spoke to google for a long while: while I was not able to to see my phone listed under "my devices" they were able to see it on their end. All I could see was 4 devices that I have long ago stopped using.
They speculate that it could be an error with a recent update to the Play.google.com site....
here is what they recommend:
Uninstall updates to
GOOGLE PLAY SERVICES
GOOGLE SERVICES FRAMEWORK
GOOGLE PLAY STORE
They also asked me to wipe data.
They asked me to reboot - and - now I'm still waiting for the auto play-store update. Currently does not seem to have solved the problem.
Anyone else having these issues?
<<hangouts will require the updated play-store in order to work>>

Go into settings > apps > all, and select Google Play Store
Force stop and clear data.
Then open the play store again on your device and accept the terms and conditions.
Wait 15 minutes or 30 minutes or 1 hour, you will see your device.

Any one can help?
I'm very confused with my wife's N4. "Google Services" has used ~1.5GB of data in the last 3 days. My wife uses her phone for facebook and texting. She doesn't have any data heavy apps. Any ideas on what do to stop this from continuing?
Maybe try turning off location services or maybe try backing up everything and do a factory reset?

That was my next option, but I'd rather not have to go through that. Anyone else have anything? Are there apps that could tell me which "google service" was the data hog?

I am having the same problem. I just tried disabling app data sync under Google account settings. Let's see if that helps... I use Titanium backup to back up apps and app data anyways...

I tried doing that, and disabiling background data for it through battery manager, but that eliminates all google sync. I eventually just backed things up and moved on to a newer rom. Like I said, it is my wife's phone and didn't feel like trying to figure out the root cause. If it were my phone, I'd be more patient. Hopefully you can find an answer. 500MB a day is nuts. Glad we're on "unlimited" with StraightTalk.
My brother and I just got the same problem as well. He has been on Paranoid for over 3 months and just yesterday Google Services used up 1.5gb out of no where (in a few hours). Just today, im on Carbon, my Google Services used up 500mb (in a few hours). Thankfully, I noticed that my battery was going too fast so I went in and turnd off background data for Google Services.
Any one have an idea of what is going on?
I noticed this problem on my phone a couple of weeks ago and asked about it here. Unfortunately no one knows what's really going on.

System Update Issue
I've noticed this same issue since i updated all my Google Play applications last 07/30. Before the update, I did not have this high bandwidth consumption.
Anyways, i've been researching in my phone and tried the following solutions:
First, I restricted Google Services background data, this did not work, it was still consuming my data. So I kept researching and found something interesting, i went to About Phone - System Update, and noticed my phone was consistently trying to update to 4.3 JB (which is 183 MB), and after the download was complete, then a "verification failed" error message was displayed.
At this point, i thought, This is probably the cause i've been losing all of my data. I am running ParanAndroid along with franco kernel for some time, maybe this is the reason the update is failing.
So, a rough solution i did to this meanwhile: Go to Settings -> Apps -> All and disable Google Services Framework, this will ensure that the update is not constantly being downloaded, however, many Google applications will have issues.
Guys I am facing such extremely annoying Google Services (DownloadManager in BBS) battery drain + mobile/wifi data usage issue and I have been searching for some hours.
First of all I have tried the most answered solution - clearing the data of all those stuffs related to Google Services - well it did not work so well.
Then I don't think freezing download manager / factory reset / restrict background data / disabling google services framework are good solutions as I myself did not make changes related to this recently so a factory reset should not be needed, plus the other mentioned solutions would cause syncing issues with Google and this doesn't suit my lifestyle of heavily depending on various google services.
Many of you have proposed that the massive download / repeated downloads are related to downloading the 4.3 OTA and that might be possible according to the similar file sizes as well as logcats you have found. But on the other hand one of the solution - disabling Network Locations settings has also stopped the "download" triangle from constantly staying there when my wifi is on. Therefore we can conclude that it is partially related to the 4.3 OTA download which cannot be disabled on our custom ROMs, as well as partially about the stock Network Location settings.
Fortunately after many posts that do not provide a feasible answer I have found this xda post which addresses the issue related to the Google Play Store 4.1.6. Some of the users have reported that 4.1.10 has fixed the issue and some even said the newest version 4.2.9 is over the internet since 25/7 together with 4.3 update.
Not sure why such critical update did not roll out to the unluckily bunch of us from Google, but I have found the Android Police source about 4.1.10 fixing the "Network Location bug which hogs the battery" and hopefully this will stop the DownloadManager wakelock as well as the crazy battery drain + data drain by Google Services.
I haven't tested this thoroughly because I will probably need a day to check out whether it stops the crazy behaviour but I would just like to share with you guys my founding as soon as possible so you guys can try it out together with me. The latest Google Play Store 4.2.9 apk can be downloaded from Android Police here.
Hope I have helped! Good luck to you and me!

Hi and thanks for sharing your investigation and findings so far. I looked at my Nexus 4 tonight and saw that it had downloaded 500mb over 3G so I disabled it and started searching for an answer. Definitely looks to be the OTA 4.3 issue, but installing Play Store 4.2.9 has done nothing for me. My phone has just sucked down another 500mb over WiFi under the "Google Play Services" heading and shows no signs of stopping.
I'm running CM 10.1 stable - really need a fix for this because otherwise I can't enable 3G without burning my whole quota in short order.
Darn, had this same problem, in one day 500mb over 3G.... Thats not cool.
Recently installed a new ROM, Cyanogenmod 10.1, and I think I found the problem. The gallery app was synching all photo's on my G+ account it seems.
Hope I nailed it, because we just went on holiday today and I need my data for finding information etcetrea. But I think this is it, as I can view photo's from vacations made decades ago whoile phone is in airplanemode...
Hope this helps others with this problem...
This is exactly the root cause. I've just lost a gig on 3G today. I'm on wifi now and update just keeping download & verification fail loop. I'm on PA Rom.

Here's how to disable the OTA download on any ROM
Install Autorun Manager from the Play store.
Then enter its recommended advanced mode.
Go into the settings and enable the following : system entries and system app disable.
Disable com.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService$Reciever under Google Service Framework
It would be great if the OP could be updated with this

You can try this
It is definitely something to do with the 4.3 update. I was on PA 3.6 (Android 4.2.2) and had this problem. After upgrading my phone to Android 4.3 on the latest PA, I no longer have this issue. I think it is a problem in the ROM where they tried to remove the OTA feature, but instead it still tries to download the ROM via 3G in the background. Don't quote me on the above, but that is the only thing that makes sense to me!
Since I've reached my limit for the month (and I'm not even half way through doh), I have had to disable Mobile Data otherwise I would have had a hefty bill come through!

The wildly unhelpful google search link didn't relate to my specific issue. Those are all from folks that couldn't open the Play store at all. I'm having the same issue that Rooney was having, where it only happens when I try scrolling down in "my apps". Otherwise it works fine. Did you ever get a solution to this? I've already contacted Google, and their tech guy said, "I'm stumped." He's escalating it, but in the meantime I thought I'd see if you were ever able to get it fixed, since this is the first time I've seen someone else with this specific iteration of the issue. Thanks in advance.

Try uninstalling the latest Play updates in settings/apps/all apps and wipe Play data, reboot and try again. Its a Google server issue responding. There is lots of info available on Google regarding this error, i suggest you try finding it too
I ran into this on my new Tabpro 8.4 last sunday. My Note 3 has no such issue with the same account. Kept doing it at the exact same scrollpoint every time.
Wiping data, rebooting, clearing cache, none of it helped.

I also contacted Google and they give me instruction like checking time and storage!, etc
and that didn't help me at all, so i went back and told them that and they ask me to make a factory reset to one of my devices (because i have 5 devices signed in with one Google account)
so, now i am factory resetting my Note 3 and updating the system to ND5
please let me know if you have any updates :good:

You sir are a moron. If you don't know the answer then don't bother posting. I hated when I see a post like this especially I already search on Google and came here and see such useful post.
To op, I just ran into this problem and solved by removing my google account and re-add it.

Again, the info on Google does not relate to this particular problem. Every thread I've found (other than this one) relates to people that can't access the Play store at all, with this error code. However, the specific problem we are having is this error code showing up only in one specific scenario...when going to "all apps" and trying to scroll down the list. Otherwise the Play store works perfectly fine.
I can't speak for Rooney, but I've already tried most of the suggestions from those source (removing/re-adding Google account, wiping cache and data, uninstalling updates, changing device time, etc), but the problem persists.

i tried literally everything, remove my Google account, remove some old unused apps in the "all apps" tab i don't need, factory reset my note and 2 other of my devices , update my Note 3 to ND5, but with no luck
even the tech support in Google after 96 hours have no idea what is causing the problem and he sent it to a tier for further review
My new NotePro is also doing the same thing. My Note 3 is not, nor is my TF700T. One S3 is, the other is not. It makes no sense whatsoever.
Hi Everyone,
Google Play Services has used 1.06 gb worth of background data today. I don't seem to be able to switch background data off for Google Play Services anywhere though....It's not in the list I have (exynos version) Anyone else had this happen to them and any idea for a fix? Never had this issue before in 7 years of android. Great phone otherwise
Thanks a lot!!!
do you use google photos? if yes, check your sync settings!
Aha! Thank you, I'm an idiot
KatKiss 4.4.4 has kept our TF101s going for years, but the latest Google Play Services update seems to not be compatible and leads to constant "Google Play Services has stopped" messages, along with occasional, similar messages from gapps, and Services Framework.
Clearing caches and data, rolling apps back to factory will stop the messages. But make anything Google more or less unusable. Updating Play Services again starts the "has stopped" messages.
We have 2 TF101s, my wife keeps her auto-update on, I don't. Hers started first, so I went ahead and let mine update to see if it would have the same problem. As soon as Play Services updated, the errors began.
I know there are KatKiss versions for 5/6, but have always seen 4.4.4 recommended as the most stable for the TF101. However, we mostly use our tablets for reading with Play Books, so if there's another KatKiss version that Play Services still works with, I'd consider taking a performance hit just to get things working again. Or if there's another ROM someone can recommend that's confirmed still working with the latest Play Services update, that's stable on the the TF101, I'd be down for trying that too.
It's amazing how many years these tablets have worked for us. Obviously we are approaching the day when they will just be too old for most things, but I'd like to get a little more time out of them as our eBook readers.
TIA for any tips and assistance.
It's doing it on all versions of KatKiss.

Well, that's good to know, though bad news to hear.
Subscribing for updates as well...my transformer is still doing duty as the slingplayer -> chromecast and netflix -> chromecast hub but seems to be extra broken with this last google play services update.
Same problem here on two TF101, one 4.4.4, one stock.
I did factory reset and not registered my google email.
After this I disabled all Google on my tablets using Advanced App Permisions and now I am using Youtube in browser and the rest of my app from Amazone Appstore.
Shame on you GOOGLE!
I have some apps not free from Playstore, I spend my money and now they are useless, should I sue Google for this?

Okay guys, I've just tried something and it seems to be working for me. I went to apps settings and uninstalled all updates for google play services. So far it seems to be working.
Same for me
Thanks, good to see I am not the only one with problems.
Google problems started on Katkiss MM 6.0-029,
Flashed back to Katkiss 4.4.4-036. after update google play same problem
Hope Google gets a fix, Tablet is only used on holidays for mail and surfing, watching video. Was doing this perfectly for its age.

Me too.

OMG, Saturday I got the same problem and thought I had made some mistake. Then I spent most of the weekend trying to get the unit working. And it turns out it's Google who messed up?
I tried KatKiss 4.4.4 and 6.0 and huge problems with both.
I am now flashing with Asus stock. Are you saying that too is broken?
Do you have auto-updates enable? Since I've posted (a few hours ago) it's been running fine.

I installed fresh new 4.4.4. After installing, Google ask for Google account. Few minutes later, problem start. I have no time to disable auto-update. And, if somehow I can manage to not let Google Play services to update (how?), I can not install Youtube, Gmail etc. Please advice. Thanks.

Try to skip adding a ggogle account on startup. Add it later and immediately disable auto updates. Not sure if you can set up google play settings before adding an account, but you could try.

will try right now, thanks.
I managed to uninstall updates on Google Play services and Google Play store. But, every time I uninstall updates, in Google Play settings I found checked by default the option to auto-update! So, I must be very fast: uninstall updates- go to Google Play settings - uncheck autoupdate!
ANYWAY, Youtube and any other app related to Google wont start "unless you update Google Play". And, after installing Youtube, the repetitive message "has stopped" strating to appear again. TABLET USELESS.
EDIT NOTE: every time Google Play find a way to autoupdate EVEN I check in settings to disable autoupdates. I think is refer to disable autoupdate for other apps, not for itself.
About the Asus stock ROM:
Good: no popups!
Good: much faster than the KitKatt 4.4.4 that was installed for a couple of years. (Is there a way to take an installed ROM and make it fresher? For instance cold boot, or what?)
Bad: I had to download an APK to get Google Play running, so I could download Kindle app and a decent web browser.
Bad: After I updated the Gmail app, that app dies randomly when I read mail. So I reverted it back to the stock app again. Odd that even Google's own apps are not stable.
Happy now that I have my belowed TF101 running again. I will put KatKiss back again, soon. What's your experiences with KatKiss 6 vs 4.4.4?
Could someone explain in more detail how to stop the auto-update once I'm in KatKiss?
Same Issues Here // B80 TF101
I've been battling this as well. I just pulled out my TF101 from the drawer its been sitting in for two years. I was stoked when I saw the 6.0 KatKiss! Put TWRP on and flashed it right away. Started getting the dreaded "Play Services" errors and issues. I've since reflashed twice, tried the 5.1 version (twice), the 4.4.4 version and back to the 6.0. Each time wiping, installing the rom, superSU, the correct Gapps and then wiping cache/dalvik.
Seems the only thing I can do is uninstall the updates to Play services to keep it stable, until it auto updates. I'd like to use this in the truck this summer for Google Maps or Waze, but if I can't get it stable back in the drawer it will go.
Kind of crazy that a 6 year old tablet still runs this well!
If I find anything I will post it for others to take advantage of, and if anyone finds something, even minor, please post it! :good:

Try to uninstall the play services updates while offline and alter the definitions of auto update. Mine is running stable since yesterday.
