Hello everyone,
I just unlocked and rooted my Nexus 4 using the Toolkit by mskip and noticed that I cannot download anything from the PlayStore.
At first I though the WIFI was broken, but I can surf the web so it's clearly an issue with the market.
I have then used the Toolkit by Wugfresh to bring the phone back to stock but the problem is still there: I cannot download anything from the market! The phone downloaded and installed the 4.2.1 fine but cannot download any of the 57 apps queued in the market.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!
Have you tried clearing data? Are the downloads pending?
Go to Settings/Apps/All and clear data of Download Manager.
Try clearing data of the Play store if that doesn't help.

Thanks for the tip: I cleared the data of both Download Manager and Playstore but it doens't work.
I tried to sign out and back in too. Still no luck.
Unbelievable.
I doubt it has anything to do with root, but install the following gapps and in pretty sure your problem will be resolved.

I had a number of problems with the Play store, keyboard, and camera but after flashing these gapps, all is good.

Upon further investigation and trials, I currently find myself in this situation:
- Playstore works both with WIFI and GSM but can only download content via GSM (no Idea why!!)
- Everything else works fine over WIFI (and GSM).
So for whatever reason PlayStore let me browse the catalogue via WIFI but won't let me download/update anything unless I switch to GSM.

Are your time and date correct?
Sometimes that makes the play store not work

Also, in addition to the apps mention, also clear data for "Google Services Framework"
If that doesn't work try clearing your /cache partition, possibly even /data/dalvik-cache and reboot

Thanks but it didn't work.
I tried EVERYTHING. It doesn't make any sense. Also using the Toolkit I did an OEM LOCK. And it still doens't work.

Yes they are.
It turns out the problem is NOT the phone but something else: even my g/f's GS3 cannot download via WIFI from the PlayStore!!!
Kill me.

reboot your router, i have had this happen on sensation and gnex. it was an issue with my router. pull the plug for 30 seconds and let sync back up
I tried that already earlier but didn't work. Will give it another go.
any update? im stumped too! dam wifi is broken!!! now can't even do anything
I rooted using mskip's toolkit (with busybox but on stock recovery) and also had a wifi issue. I was already on the latest OTA (4.2.1) before doing anything and at that time the wifi was connecting just fine. After rooting, the wifi was not connecting to the same signal as it had been before. When it finally did connect, I was also unable to access the Play Store but could browse the internet just fine. I turned wifi off, restarted the phone, then used mobile data to update the Google system apps. After that, the Play Store was working with wifi connected. Wifi is still having trouble connecting to a "fair" strength signal where before it connected without an issue so unsure on that but Play Store at least is back when the wifi signal is strong. Hope this helps.
Nexus4 want work with my router running wddrt.. .trying to trouble shoot it
It connects strong signal but just want dload apps. Can't do speedtest. I can browse google playstore but won't dload apps atfer 10x cancel it might install app by shear luck.... my wifi works on other routers,places

If you can sign into gtalk you can generally sign into the android market. They are somehow tied together.
Android market has some issues, it can't connect for a while will come back up. I been dealing with this the past 2 weeks. It happens intermittently.
If you can access it, but apps don't download try clearing cache and data of the following apps.
Clear Data and Cache from:
Checkin Service
Download Manager
Google Talk Service
Google Talk Storage
Market
Force close market and restart it
I've only noticed market issue after I flash a new rom. The market connects but won't actually "start" downloading. I have found that connecting to wifi somehow prods it into behaving as expected. What I mean is, download something over wifi from the market, disable it and then use 3g. Works for me... /shrugs
Hi,
I am running Android JellyBean 4.2.1. Nexus 32GB WiFi only version (UK).
Even thou the signal bar on tablet is full 4 bars and I got a stable fibre optic broadband connection, my nexus 7 tablet is for some reason randomly showing what i think looks like an explanation mark that grows bigger on the network bars. It's happening allot and although it seems to be connected to the net it seems to stop sending/receiving data/network traffic and I get timeout errors and I unable to connect but then a few refreshes and all work again. Its happening often.
Anyone know of any known problems, bugs etc and possibly a solution ? I found a thread on Google about people having this problem and people thinks its software related.
Thanks for any help/advice!

Did you do the clear Framework data to force the last OTA? If so, you will have to delete your Google account, reboot and sign back in to your google account and sign into Play. It will work again.
Hi,
I did what you said exactly several times and so far no connection errors in play and web browser but webpages and play content takes quite a while several seconds to load webpages and play content from play app sometimes have to refresh for it to work. My connection is fibre optic 38mbps so it should load faster.
Any possible solutions ?
Thank you,
Mat

I think it is the 4.2 update. It is causing all sorts of problems.

Hi,
I think it maybe, did not have this before update I don't think anyway. Using apps that uses my internet connection is becoming a nightmare as hardly loads internet content and have to refresh or close app and open again and try loading internet content again. I thought clearing data on Google Framework and removing Google account fixed it but it hasn't.
Great tablet shame about the OS.
Thanks
Mat

Your connection speed on the N7 is determined by your wifi speed and bandwidth, not your fiberoptic connection. Sounds like you would benefit from a factory/data reset. If rooted and you have Titanium Backup, you could do a full backup before the fdr and restore bookmarks, game data, and sms messages afterward. There are also apps on Play that will backup/restore this kind of data. Just don't restore any system data. Your apps can be restored from Play if they don't automatically restore.
my WiFi speed is 65mbps so plenty fast enough, think a factory reset will be needed. Always into rooted or anything.
Thanks!

Hi,
I did a factory data reset via recovery method, wiped cache before hand then installed my apps again but manually, by this I mean I did not let Google restore anything from backups it makes on it servers.
So far everything appears to be OK fingers crossed.
It seems after updating to 4.2.1 it would be good idea for people to do a factory data reset if they are having problems as this has so far not given me any problems as of yet like previously, I will monitor it over the next few days and post back if it stays like this or goes back to being a nightmare. So far everything feels great and works as expected, all bugs seems to have vanished, for now anyway, only time will tell now.
Thanks for your advice, much appreciated!

I have pretty much the same problem!
I just realized mine isnt either. Stock Rom, Rooted, TWRP and just flashed franco M1 yesterday. Hmmmmm
Having this issue for months now. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Had gone through many forums and no solution yet. Counting days when I get back to England because I believe it has something to do with my ISP.

Just go to Settings-App search for "google search" and delete cache/data, you should be ready to go
Hey,
I've got an issue on my Nexus 4 where my wifi notification icon what used to appear white has turned orange and now all my Google Services no longer work... neither do push notifications as it's unable to connect somehow so apps like PushBullet aren't working either.
It all happened after I rebooted my phone...
I've tried:
• Clearing Data
• Fix permissions via recovery
• Rebooting several times
• Enabling Flight Mode & rebooting then disabling and rebooting again.
• I've tried rebooting the router (it's not the router as my Nexus 10 and other devices all work fine)
I've had the same problem on Paranoid Android which I used to fix by flashing the rom and gapps again (dirty flash) but I switched to stock so don't know what to do or how to fix.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

An orange icon means that there is no connection to the Google services. Try if you can connect to a different network, otherwise you will have to flash a new radio.

Thanks for your reply, It was working fine just before I rebooted and then it just stopped, browsing on baconreader, tapatalk messaging over kik, facebook...etc all work fine and I still have an internet connection of sorts but the google stuff doesn't, trying different networks doesn't help either.
How can I reflash stock without losing anything?
I fixed it by flashing system.img but obviously that meant i had to resetu root, xposed, adblock...etc which is a nussance
Bump, anyone know how to stop this from happening it's happened 5 times since I originally posted this.
It happens when I reboot occasionally and the only way I know how to fix it is flash system.img

Why don't you start fresh and flash all of the factory images including userdata partition (obviously this will wipe your phone clean, do make a backup of your sdcard contents). Might wanna factory reset after flashing all of the images too.
It does the same thing after a free days, makes no difference it does it on all three of my nexus devices...

Search for wifi fix by kalo86 here in XDA. Download and flash that in recovery. Give that a try.

Hi there
Does it work until you receive an update of Google Play Services through Play Store? I'm currently having the same issue but with my mobile data connection, not WiFi. I'm trying to get to the bottom of it.
An orange signal meter means you're not connected to Google Play Services. You can check the status by typing this in to your dialler:
*#*#426#*#*
Problems are usually due to the network blocking or closing the Google Play Services TCP port 5228
You could try checking your wireless router's firewall setup.
I have a T-mobile LG V20 and I have been trying to download apps and games and for some reason it only downloads when connected to WiFi, I tried everything, clean cache on app settings, uninstalled google play store and all and still nothing. I am in south america and I was using data with no problems until a couple of days ago that this problem started, I have international unlimited data so data is not the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Same issue for me. I have tried reboot, clearing cache, etc, etc apps will only update or install with wifi
Google play has a settings option to only download via Wi-Fi.
I hate to say this, have you tried booting into recovery and wiping and seeing if re-setting up your device works?
The Setting in Google Play is only for auto updating apps on WiFi. If I manually try to Install or Update an app and I am on mobile data...it just says Downloading forever.
I have not wanted to try and Reset yet.
Anyone find a solution to this? I'm in Sprint and been having this problem for a couple of weeks now.

I had this problem for a while. The only way I could get them to work was over wifi. I ended up doing a factory reset for other reasons, but it works now over LTE after that.
