Google play store can't download apps - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
My play store gave me an error to retrive from the server, so I uninstalled updates and cleared cache and it didn't worked afterwards.
What do I do?
Edit: when it tries to sync with my Google account, it shows "Request Permission" in the notifications, and when I click it, the Google account manager crashes, so I cleared data, force stopped and cleared cache and no luck. What do I do?!?! I'm stuck with an outdated, not working play store!!

1. Make sure you haven't only deleted the cache but also the data of Play
2. Clear the data of Google Services Framework
3. Remove and re-add your Google account
4. Reflash your system partition and/or do a factory reset

Having the same issue and obviously reflashing is out of the question. What are the consequences of removing my account and readding? Do I lose my apps? Do I have to add my account back in gmail, etc...?

You won't lose any apps. After adding, using the settings menu, I think you just need to sync things again, so it won't be a problem.

I simply removed and added back in my Google account.
Don't forget to reconfigure what gets synced with your Google account afterwards.

[SOLVED][Q] Marketplace apps after ROM install??

Why don't all my apps show up in the marketplace after rooting my phone and using a new ROM? Is there a way to make them reappear?
Did you sign in with the same Google account? When you say "all" does that mean that some are there and some are not?
Yes, I signed in with the exact sme account. It would appear that the only visible apps are those I've purchased. Any others that are free don't show up in My Apps.

Try signing out of the "Talk" app and signing back in. Then check the apps one more time.
Nope. That didnt do anything.

gmail sync failure

I restored my phone from the CM9b1 back to my original ROM (via a full repartition to stock ec05 and update to ei22) and noticed that I'm getting one-way sync issues. I get email notifications, my gmail app has new messages, but when I delete them it doesn't kick back up to the web with the update.
I've read dozens of posts saying to clear data, cache, etc and I've tried to do it all. Verified my account sync settings, auto sync and etc, looked at the data/cache under app management but the clear button is grayed out entirely because it says the data and cache in use by gmail are both 0. There is also no 'gmail storage' piece under app management that I can wipe out.
If I boot to recovery and wipe cache will that help?
Use Titanium Backup to wipe data in Gmail.

$7 in order to delete gmail buggy data? Ugh. Is there a way to do it using root terminal, perhaps?
--edit--
Nevermind - I see the free version on the web market, but I can't seem to search it up from my phone itself in-app.
THAT worked - thank you very much :]
You are welcome.

google account not synching

on my nexus 7 my gmail is only syncing when I click sync in the app and I can't log into google talk, anyone know what causes this/ how to work around it? I tried removing and re-adding the account, and droping all syncing and rebooting then re-adding. would prefer to avoid a hard reset if able as it took forever to install all the apps on it.
tried removing auto sync from data tab and restarting and re-enabling no dice... thinking I may be stuck with a reset... boo
Reset did nothing...

Yep, and I also tried toggeling the sync part of the power bar widget, and the auto sync piece under the data setting.
Odd. That sucks. Hope you fix it.

Gmail and Google play crash at start

Hello,
I traveled to Jordan and used their local SIM card (zain).
After one or 2 days started my phone acting strangely. I can't open my gmail and Google play. I didn't tried other apps if they got same issues. However when I restart my phone I got couple of messages telling net that gmail stopped working. Also some processes too, like com.Google.xxxxx. I also tried to reset the gmail and Google play cashes hoping solving the problem but it doesn't.
Can someone help?

You might have used your backup app to restore some core services/system data.
This is only happen to me when I restore all system data with titaniumbackup.
Google has some problems recently, might be linked to that?
I had the same issue yesterday. Some update application did this. I had to erase and reinstall everything again in order to fix the crash.

You have to remove them from your Google account directly not from the phone. Then clear data on your picasa and reboot

I ran into the same problem few days ago, and here is what you can do!
EASIEST WAY "CHEATING"
Go to your gallery! THEN "Settings" THEN "Content to display" then uncheck picasa, and magically it should disappear from the phone!
NOW TO DELETE THESE PICTURES FROM YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT:
If you have access to the computer, go to your google plus account, and then you'll find the pictures set as a backup!
If you're using a cellphone!
Download Google Plus or Picasa App, it will use your gmail to log-in! Go to settings, and disable the image backup! Also you'll have the option to remove them for good from your account!
you can go to
Settings
Accounts
Google
uncheck pictures
then clear data for
Gallery
Media Services
this way it stays on your picasa but not ur phone
