[Q] 4.1.2 Removed my Device from Google Play - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Nexus 7 was updated a couple of minutes ago (through the OTA) and after it was complete I headed to Google Play online (on my computer) and my Nexus 7 wasn't listed as a device. I am able to read emails, install apps etc. on my Nexus 7 but it just doesn't show up on my devices. Any ideas or how to fix this? Thanks..

I had the same problem I sorted it by first trying to see if I could log into Google talk, it failed so then I went to accounts and removed my Google account from the device then I rebooted and added the the account again then I was able to log in as normal hope this helps ya.

Yes this did the trick. Thanks...

To stop my Google Play from stopping whenever I tried to open it, I had to remove the Play apk and odex from /system/app and replace with the apk I extracted from the full 4.1.2 system.img.

Sounds like you removed from your device from Google Play, as many did before you, by clearing Google framework. Just waiting a bit would've fixed it just as well. Aside from not seeing your device, your emails aren't pushed to it either for a while, it only does a man refresh when you open it.

[Q] Google Play app download issues

I just received my N4 from T-Mobile, and signed in with my Google account to start the "restore" process, however, half the apps would not download and show a error message that reads:
"APP_NAME" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])
Anybody else had this issue before?
I'm having the same issue. I'm on AT&T though.

Same issue here on ATT.
Same here on AT&T. I removed my Google account, added the account back again, and restarted. But still get the Play Store error when downloading or updating apps.

I waited about 15 minutes, then restarted once more and suddenly everything is working now. Strange.
Yep it is now working again....
This happened to me right after root. Kinda scary lol.
As this appeared to be a temporary issue of Google play which has now resolved itself, change the OP thread title by prefixing [SOLVED]
Sywepd form my DsereiS
same here.. I fixed it by adding my wife's Google account, deleting mine, rebooting, re-adding mine, and deleting my wife's account... Play store works as it should.
EDIT: good to know it was possibly an outage, but I read from other places that doing what I did fixed it, so who knows... but it works now!
I tried to download the Kindle app a couple of hours ago and got the same message, the problem seems to be fixed now
Is the issue still there as I am still getting that error message
EDIT
Removed the account and then re-added it have done the trick for me
Do what I mentioned on the previous page.. It fixed the error for me.

sold nexus 4, how to unregister/ dissociate phone with my google account so info can'

i deleted my account info and did factory reset on the nexus 4 phone itself. however, on my google account, it still shows that i have a nexus 4. is there any way to dissociate it with my google account just in case the new owner of the phone wants to try some social engineering to get my account? since buyer does have the phone, it's possible since my google accounts such as checkout and google play showed that the nexus 4 is mine and i've made purchases with it and i can't unregister it. i just want to be safe.
I believe you can call Google and have the imei and warranty moved under the buyer's name in their system. Would that be enough?
Try manage devices in account at play store ? I renamed my devices recently not sure about removing them

Yeah, I think you are going to have to resort to calling them. According to the following page, it is not possible to delete it from your account, but you can hide it (which would be convenient, but doesn't address the issue you are concerned about).

It takes a looooong time for a phone to vanish from your Google Play account, but as long as you've wiped it they're no longer linked.

Factory reset from the Settings, that wipes everything (internal storage).

if you want to delete everything you have to reflash stock google build using fastboot, this will delete all user files and install the factory recovery(that's if you changed it).
Why are you worried about the phone showing up in your play store account? if the phone isnt set up using your gmail account it will not have access to any of your info and you will not be able to control anything on the phone from the play store website.

[Q] Google+ "Can't Connect to Server"

Anyone on here ever have trouble using the G+ app after flashing a new ROM and then backing up with TB? I'm having this issue on my Nexus S & 10, but my 7 is mysteriously fine...can't figure out why and there are no solutions online that work. I've turned 2 step authentication off, removed my Google account and then signed back in, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled, and checked my Wifi Settings...nothing has worked. This issue is driving me insane.

I'm having the same problem, except its with my Nexus 7. Rooted with TWRP, been running CleanROM3.0 for a while now, but installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly (31/01/13) today. Restored apps using Titanium but some would not restore, including Youtube and Google+. Upon installing Google+ I got the error message "Cannot connect to Server".
I have since, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, formatted internal data, removed all of my google accounts (had two other accounts on there that I had not signed up to google+ with) and added my main one again - but still can't sign in to G+. Also saw other fixes online such as updating your location and time/date settings, but did not work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled G+ about 6000 times today I think. I finally managed to sign into a 2.0 version of the Google+ app that I found online, and then tried updating to the latest in the Play Store, but it did not display the update option, and when I uninstalled and reinstalled, again I couldn't sign in. Thinking of going back to stock, re rooting and installing Cyanogenmod when I get home - but if you discover any other fixes in the meantime please let me know!
Thanks,
I finally got it to work. Here's how I did it:
Wipe your device, flash whatever ROM you use, flash GAPPS, login using your Google account (do it manually) and then when you boot up TB install everything as you usually do, but don't restore system settings or any of the google apps (no G+, Wallet, etc) install those manually using the Play store. If what I did actually made it work, then you shouldn't have any problems using G+.

I'm having this issues also, thanks for the help!
Edit
-Still, it does not work. I wiped, flashed a ROM, ignore titanium backup, login and installed Google+ from playstore but it really does not work When I open the app, it just lead me to a white background then google+ does not load. The same as messenger app.

I'm a little late to the party, but is there any chance any of you have tried chameleon launcher or any other app that may be able to access Google+?
I just installed Chameleon launcher on my phone and set up the Google+ widget that Chameleon has built in and when I granted it access is when my Google+ app stopped working. I had to uninstall it reinstall and set up the widget again and then deny access to get it working again. I know it's a long shot but it just may help.

Solution
I've had the same problem - I hope my solution might help some of you:
In my case the problem was AdAway (especially the "hostsx_googlecode_com/svn/trunk/hosts"-source) after deleting this source and refreshing AdAway the problem was gone...
I had this problem recently while trying to install Android 4.3 on my Int'l Galaxy Nexus (maguro). What I did to fix it was log on to Google Dashboard from my computer and click on Security. While under Security, I scrolled down to Connected Sites and clicked on Review Permissions. At the next screen, revoke the permissions of all apps at the top of the list that pertain to Android (or at least the ones granted permissions since you broke whatever you did). Once you've done this, you should be able to login to Google+ (or Hangouts if that's where your trouble lies) without any trouble. I've messed this up twice in the last day or so and this fix has got me back on track both times.

One solution for stock Nexus 7
I know this is an old thread but want to share a possible solution to help others Googling for help like I was.
I'm on Nexus 7 2013 with multiple users (AKA profiles). I had the same error "Can't connect to server" with Google+. Hangouts and Gmail apps logged in fine. Other user was fine using Google+ the whole time.
What worked for me:
* Open Photos app.
* Click OK on auto-backup.
* Open Google+ app. Select account to sign in with (if you have more than 1 Google accounts like me)
Really, I don't know why auto-backup was ever turned off, maybe an update to the Photos app. My guess is the Photos app was locking access to Google+ while waiting for me to choose yes or no on the auto-backup.
What didn't work:
* Unchecking, rechecking Sync with Google+.
* Restarting.
* Clearing Google+ app cache and data.
Tech details of Nexus 7:
* Stock Android 4.4.3.
* Build KTU84L.

[Q] messed with Framework to force 4.3 OTA, serious troubles with play store account!

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.

HELP. Error 927 from the Play Store

Hey guys. Cam someone help me figure out a fix for error 927 in the play store. It won't allow me to update or download any apps. Some times it will work but man its driving me nuts. I Googled it like crazy and none of the "fixes" i find work. I talked to Google support today and that was a huge waste. I created and new Gmail and bam all is good but the biggest problem is of course all my paid apps are attached to my original Gmail. Does anyone know of a real fix or am i just out all the money I've spent in apps since 2009?

Wow that is weird if it is tied to your account specifically. Let's narrow it down to see...
Update apps on different network connection. Try both 4g and over WiFi/secondary WiFi. Does error still occur?
Force stop Play Store, Google Services Framework, and Google Account Sync. Uninstall Play Store Updates, and clear data within each app/service. Reboot the phone. Does error still occur?
Remove your account entirely from your phone and add a different account, reboot phone. Does error still occur?
If you have 2 accounts setup make sure you choose the account tied to those apps in the play store. Sometimes it defaults to the last one you added.
