[q] playstore apps stall on 'downloading'

Please Help.
I have a Google Nexus 7 running JellyBean 4.2.2. It is not rooted.
I updated the device about a month ago and everything was going fine until the day before yesterday.
Whenever I download anything from the Play Store, the application does not download. It just keeps showing 'Downloading' without any progress. The download does not start.
Everything else is working just fine. there is plenty of space on the device. I am able to browse the net, download and install apps from outside the playstore.
I have searched many threads on this and other sites but could not find a solution.
These are the things that I have already tried but they did not work for me:
1) Cleared Cache and Data for Playstore in settings>apps.
2) Uninstalled updates for Playstore.
3) Rebooted the device many times.
4) Deleted my Google account and tried with another Google account.
5) Switched on and off my WiFi couple of times. ( My Internet is working absolutely fine! )
Any help/suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Oh great professionals, please help me.
What could be the problem ?

Dude i am also facing the same problem for last few weeks....contacted google support...they asked me to talk to my ISP, but he also doesnt have a clue... i can download apps once in a while but most of the times it jus stucks and sits there...really annoying (Nexus7,India)..I can see ur also from india..Wonder if its a regional thing ?

have you got any solution yet ? Please post it as i am still having the problem

My new note 4 duos that i ordered from China does the same thing. I had canadian note 4 before and it worked fine. but on the note 4 duos, after rooting, text messages send slow and the play store takes 10 -15 minutes per app to install. it will download the first 80-90 percent in seconds then take up to 15 minutes to install to install the rest.
ive tried everything so far to fix it. the only thing that works is reonstalling stock OS, but as soon as I root it starts happening again. i need root.
i wonder.if the chinese are spying.on me since this is a chinese phone. looking for a new rom to install but cant find any for the sm-n9100

You had installed the modded play store this is causing the problem. Clean install the STOCK KITKAT ROM or try any other custom ROM.

Sorry to bump into this old thread, but I am having this same issue. Tried log cat and it shows "DRMManager Service not published". Could this be causing the playstore to be stuck in "Downloading"? Anyone has a fix on this?

[Q] HELP! Galaxy S4 on MF3 | Play Store Crash

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

UPDATE: I was also able to find my "secdownloadprovider.apk" in my system/app but when I click install is says application not installed...
P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.

New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...

Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.

You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Gapps package? This is the i337. There is no gapps package for the i337 on mf3 or nl1

"Not Working" can mean a lot of things. What is it doing? You might have the wrong Google Services Framework installed. I assume since the phone is on 5.0.1, it is rooted? You might try just wiping the Data and Cache for the App for starters.
If that does not fix, try uninstalling the Play Store, and then just sideload and flash the .apk for the most recent version to reinstall. Sometimes a fresh install will iron out problems. If those do not work, some specifics on the Play Store version and what it is doing exactly would be helpful.

Phone is not rooted ( no superuser app or SU app installed ). Not working meant all i see is Downloading but nothing happens and after few mins i get error code 495. I cleared cache, reset phone but facing same issue.
I have 2 internet connections strange thing is that its working on one wifi but not working on other.

If it's a second hand bought.. Do a clean flash.. It is the best way to resolve the issue.. You never know what the previous owner has done to his phone..

[Q] Issue with Play store on s5 Active!!!

Hi Guys
I have no idea what has happened to my partners s5 actives playstore app...
Say "check your internet connection and try again"
She did a back up with titanium and the it rebooted half way through but when she restarted the phone it had lost playstore and play store services... Managed to find the apps and reinstall them but now have the above error at one point it was "error retrieving from server [RPC:S-7:AEC-0 UD3P-GKBS-RGDFC" but wiped caches etc for all the usual culprits and removed her google account and then rebooted and readded it and now she has the mention "check your internet connection and try again" every thing else is working fine.... But am wondering if the location of the playstore is correct as the app is not in a folder like all other apps are!!!!
any help would be very welcome as pulling what little hair I have left out at the mo...

Sounds like Titanium backup fail corrupted something, or the problem was going to happen anyway,
try flashing the same ROM over the top with ODIN, nothing but root and recovery will be lost if it's a stock ROM
