cannot download apps from playstore - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I tried to look for this problem, but couldn't find anything relevant...
finally got my unlocked nexus 4 in the mail today!
was super excited, cut my existing t-mobile sim card (I'm on a contract with them) and was able to connect to their network.
the problem is that no matter what network i am on (wifi, 4g, 2g) i cannot download any apps from the play store. I click on 'install', it brings up the permissions window, i click on 'accept and download' and it tells me "[app_name] could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]."
Also can't update any apps...
I am extremely confused.. has anyone encountered this problem?

Google Plus Updates Only On Wifi

Hi everyone
Noticed my Google plus app updates posts only when I'm on WiFi, not when I'm using my data connection. What could be the problem? I'm on the 4.2.1 ota but the problem was there before too.

I think there is a setting when you setup G+. Don't know if you can change it. Try resting the app through apps in the phones settings and set it up again.

Not specific to N4. Happens on my Galaxy S too, on the stock app. I don't remember it ever happening on Handcent. Maybe try that?
Yay! It worked

This is Google's way to stop any rogue app from spamming your contacts with SMS.
Have to root to get rid of it.

I don't own any rogue app. Pure stock and verify app on and the unknown source all is unchecked. Its only when I'm sending out message he gives me that error on multiply occasion.

But if you did have a rogue app spamming your contacts, this feature would stop it.

solution
go to settings, app and then go to messaging in there, there is a option of send premium sms
instead of ask select always allow! it worked for me

You could try clearing download manager data as well.
Bump..no luck with clearing download manager data

How large are the games? I had the issue with an update to "Angry Birds Space Premium" which is 46.07 MB, so I moved closer to the WiFi AP and retried again, which worked. You could also try disabling "Wi-Fi optimization" in "Advanced Wi-Fi" settings.
Kinda like that apps that are 40mb up..will try and report back

Are you trying to update an existing app?
Log into your Playstore account on a PC and make sure your N4 is set as active and then try and push the install from the PC.

Go to Settings>Apps> View all apps and find your app in the list. open it and enable it
Tried but its not in there
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
If it's disabled, it won't be in alphabetical order with your other apps. It will be at the very end of the list.
In the settings menu it is named Contacts.

You sure you froze the app and didn't accidentally deinstalled it?

It's called Contacts.

Re-Check, the name might be. Contacts or it may be on the end of the list
If it's not, then try re-installing your rom or you can manually push the apk to /system/app/
thanks for all the help guys ive sorted it now
Same problem with People App

How did you sort it out? I installed Overstock rom on my nexus 4 and after that I am unable to add contact. I cleared data from Settings->Apps-> Contact storage , still no luck.. Can you please explain what steps you took to sort it out.
