cannot download apps from playstore

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?

Yes.
Go to app manager under settings and swipe from right to left to bring all apps, click on the app you would like to disable and you can disable it from there.
Cheers

Hmmm it won't disable kik or what's app. You can disable the Samsung apps!
Bye bye story board, SamsungOn....0.91mb of RAM in use now
Is that ok to do?

No more room on this page

When finishing installing a new app a message pops up saying that I dont have any room on the page .has anyone noticed this message. My s4 is not rooted.

Its because in your playstore settings, automatic creation of widget of the new app is selected, hence whenever you install a new app, play store tries to create a widget for that app. You homescreens are full so it displays the message. De select the option and the message will not flash any more.

Why is this happening?

Recently I've been getting this notification when I try to update an app.
How do I get rid of it?

You may have a rogue app.
You may need to check all your apps
To track it down.

Lol. Its a rogue/adware/spyware app. Goto application manager from settings and hunt it down. Roast it and eat it. Also, maybe uninstall it?

Defiantly a rough app.
I would suggest a wipe in such cases, this is to fully ensure elimination of the problem.

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

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?

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/

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.
