Are you sure Play store account is for the NX7 and not another Android device? I am using the same account for NXS and NX7 without any trouble. Just a thought.

I've had this numerous times on my HTC One S but not yet on the Nexus, the last time I was suffering on my HTC I discovered that if I "forgot" my Wifi network and re-registered it sorted it out, it hasn't happened again since then so I can't guarantee it as a fix but worth a try.

Go to settings in the app drawer, scroll down to "Apps" and when the windows load choose the tab that says all. Find Google play store and force stop it, clear the apps cache and data and reboot the device. Then run a Google sync and try the play store again and let me know if you get that error message or a different error message or if it works.

I would try fc Google play, clear data then also in apps fc Google services framework, clear cache and data. Try Google play and you should get an error. Then reboot and try it.

This worked perfectly for me on my GS3, thanks man! My problem was caused by restoring back to an ICS Rom from a JB one. Google Play seemed to think my device was still on JB for some reason and kept throwing me JB updates that were in fact invalid for my ICS device. I did everything else suggested and this was the only fix that worked, no more invalid updates.

If there's anyone that didn't work for, try installing it from the google play webpage on a computer. That's what sorted it out for me.

It's a known issue which is caused by a play store update.
Just keep trying and it will work, but Google will fix this soon.

no, it´s not, i´m still getting this error, tried every possible solution, even fully wiping, and nothing seems to work.

The same problems since 4.3
I am having the same problem invalid package file since I updated my Nexus 4 to JB 4.3.
I had tried every single tip I had found but useless. Some apps update well others dont.
Usualy the small ones are updated and the big one arent. I have being thinking ifthe problem is linked to the download manager. I have poor conexion and no so fast, and I have noticed the download progress bar behaving erratic up and down...
Any help or idea?

Package file was not signed correctly errors.

Hello, so il get right to the point
I cant update any of the google apps.
When trying to update Google music app, it gives me the "package file was not signed correctly.Uninstall the previous Copy if the app and try again."
now, this problem also accurs with other google apps sutch as maps, calendar etc.
deleting the cache and then trying to update the app doesnt work either.
i also use google Keep alot.i installed the app and it says. "This app won't run unless you update Google Play Services." Ok, fine so i try to update Play services and Behold, the same error occurs,giving me the annoying "package file was not signed correctly.Uninstall the previous Copy if the app and try again." Error yet again.
i tried manually downloading the android play store apk. and installing a new version, but then it gives me this error "An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed".
Deleting the cache and disabling the app and THEN trying to install it wont work either.
Im using Nexus 4 with 4.2.1
I haven't rooted it, no roms.
And the best part!I got this phone 2 months ago, then the problem occured, then i gave it back to the provider (thanks to the warranty), i got it back today and the problem still occurs.What they did, was "reinstalled android on the phone".
So please, anyone, im about to drop the phone in the toilet if this problem does not get fixed.
I wont risk on "installing a custom rom" on the phone, i almost bricked my last LG GT540 Optimus.

Yotaphone 2 bought in China has no google apps. Any way to fix this?

Like the title says, China blocks all google related apps so google play services is non-existent on my phone.
Running Android 4.4.2 and have tried "google installer", and manually installing it with apks with no luck either.
Once I install the APK's such as google play, or google play services, or google accounts, when I try to run them it gives the message "unfortunately google play services has stopped working".
I'm not too sure how to root this phone and if anyone has any ideas that would be great, thanks

Have you tried the usual procedures: Clear cache, factory reset?

Help! Google Play Store has stopped

Dear Friends, after update to 023S, Google Play Services has stopped. Please help!
Background info : LeTV X800, CN version, unrooted phone, Android 6.0.1, stock rom 5.9.023S.
After official update from 20S to 23S, there is a message “Sorry, Google Play Store has stopped”. When I open the app, there is an error message “Error retrieving information from server”. Also Spotify and Polaris Office apps do not work anymore. I have cleared Play Store cache and data, but without success. I even has deleted and loaded again via the Leeco store, no success again.
Since the phone is not rooted and I do not to root it yet, are there any other ideas how to fix these problems? Thanks in advance!

Try to set full range of Permissions for Google Play services and Store... especially for Location (Maps/Earth/Street View) & Microphone ("OK Google"). You know: System settings/App management/Google Play services or Store/Permissions
