Anyone else having this problem? I'm guessing it's something wrong on Google's side, as I could install apps before. Now nothing will install or download. I cleared data and cache for the Google Play app and even factory reset my phone.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I was having the same issue before. I fixed it by visiting Google play on my computer and when you install an app there it let's you send it to your device so I did that once and ever since I have been able to download and update from my actual phone just fine.

Thanks I tried that, but it's still not working. A notification sound keeps beeping every 2 minutes or so but I get no notification.
I can install paid apps, but no free ones.
All fixed now, must be a wifi issue, as I can install any apps over 3G internet.
My Nexus 4 is not showing up as an owned device under My Orders and Settings -> Settings in the Google Play store. Has anyone else experienced this? I was trying to push an app to my phone remotely and noticed my Nexus 4 wasn't listed.
I noticed that too earlier
Yes, it is showing up in my devices list.
Same here. No problems with all three of my android devices. They're all listed and remote install works fine.

It took mine about 24 hours to sow up as a recognized device after first turning it on.
Mine shows up too on the Devices list.
Anyways, thanks for reminding me about this. Just set the Device name as "OG Limbo Level 3 Nexus 4".
Mine was showing up, but now it's disappeared and I can't use the web interface to send apps to it.
I can use the Store on the device just fine.
It's rooted, but I don't have a custom ROM or anything.
Any ideas, before I do a hard reset?
If you tried the 'Google Framework Services' trick to force the 4.2.2 update it can cause your device to no longer appear in devices on the Play store. I had the same issue with my N7 & all I did to resolve it was download an app (any app) by using the Play store app on my N7, a few hours later it reappeared.
Hope this helps.

Hah! It's been missing for days, and I have downloaded apps to try and get it back, to no avail.
I did the Framework Services trick again and actually got the update. Then installed an app from the device and lo and behold... it's re-appeared.
Cheers!
I tried the Framework Services trick and now my Nexus 4 isn't showing up when trying to install an app from the Play Store. Anyone have a quick fix? thanks!

I've downloaded many apps from the device itself during the past 24 hours with no problem.
Yet it's still not showing up as one of my devices on the website...
It should only show up on that list if you have actually set-up the 'wallet' app on the device.

Updated my Nexus 4 from 4.2.2. to 4.3 earlier today (OTA, nothing special)
Now it's no longer in my devices list on the Play Store website...
I was having the same issue yesterday. Couldn't download anything online, but had no issues downloading anything from my device. It seems to have been fixed now though. I thought it might have been the fact that I only had the phone for 3 days now and it just took a day or 2 to register with Google once it was activated.

Mine is doing this now (as I mentioned in another thread)
Completely stock, no issues accessing the play store on the device. No issues before the 4.3 OTA upgrade.
Have done factory reset but still no change.
Yep, shows up fine for me
12 hours after a factory reset, still no device listed.
Being able to search for things to install at work and have them installed at home was the best benefit of Android over iOS (for me)
After trying so many things, "removing and re adding google account", "clearing google services framework", etc...
IT FINALLY WORKED!!!
Here's what I did
1) Uninstalled updates to Play store and Play services
2) Opened the "Google Settings" app in the app drawer and clicked on Android Device Manager. Unchecked and rechecked "remotely locate this device" and checked "allow remote factory reset"
3) Refreshed the play store site on chrome on PC and voila!
Long story short: since yesterday I have been unable to update any installed apps, or install new ones. When I try to do so, the app shows in-store as "downloading" but nothing actually happens and it's stuck at this stage forever. Stopping and restarting the service doesn't fix this, nor does completely powering off and on. Internet through the browser works as usual, as do all internet-enabled apps. I haven't installed or removed any software recently - the only change I did in the past 2 days is flash a new CWM recovery (went from 6.0.1.0 to 6.0.1.9) but I don't see what this has to do with the store.
I had this happen to me. If you go into settings > apps and clear data from Google Play Store, that fixed for me.

What rom are you using?
Stock. However I'm still on 4.1.2 - I blocked OTA updates until the current 4.2/4.2.1 bugs are fixed.
It's a long shot, but you can try to install the latest Gapps package from recovery. Or remove and re-add your Google account.
Would you happen to know where I can find the latest gapps package? Thanks!
(edit) found it http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20121130-signed.zip
Edit2) Oops the 11/30 gapps don't work with 4.1.x anymore, will try 10/11 instead.
http://goo.im/gapps
Since you're on a 4.1.2 rom, get the one for CyanogenMod 10.0.x
I same issue last night. Downloads were very slow. All stock on latest ROM.

Holy f*! The browser works, however downloading through the browser doesn't. I get "download starting" then nothing happens. Same with Chrome. I quickly checked if I'm not out of storage space - no, I have 8GB free. WTF is going on?
I figured it out. last week I was trying to solve my battery drain problems (can't find the thread anymore) and I ended up disabling the media storage service. That apparently disabled any app from downloading anything. I have re-enabled it and now can download. The store works, browsers work etc. I just hope that the battery hogging doesn't happen again.
When I have play store issues I just sign out of Google talk and sign back in and it fixes my problems .. also close the market after..

Doesn't matter if you use Google talk or not... For some weird reason the play store uses Google talk some how it may be to authenticate

If you can't download at all, a good method can be to clear data from "Google Framework Services" , delete google Account, reboot, recreate your Google Account.
I had the same problem. Enable download manager fixed it for me. After I did that all the apps I had tried to install started downloading and play store stayed open and did not force close.
Settings>apps>all>download manager

the fix was in post #11 . op can you update your op post as solved. in post number 11... Also the media data usage and battery drain was fixed in the small update 4.2.1 then the 1.xx mg update fixed this... hope this makes sense.
Hi guys,
I noticed that after the 4.2.2 OTA update on my N10, that my Google Currents app continues to crash every time I launch it. I've rebooted my device many times but to no avail, it doesn't let me keep Currents open for longer than 3 seconds
Is anyone else experiencing this?

Working fine for me. Maybe try un installing and reinstall.

Agree with y2whisper -
You could try going to Settings / Apps and finding Currents, and then clearing Cache and Data and starting it up again. Or you could uninstall it, go to the Play Store and download / install a fresh copy of the latest version.
My nexus 7 just came in the mail and I'm running into error 497 on the play store while trying to update chrome, Google keyboard, and talk back. A few seconds after choosing update it'll give me this error but I've been able to download everything else with no trouble. I already tried a factory reset with no luck.. So I'm hoping someone can help me find a solution.
Is it possible that this could have anything to do with my Google account or maybe WiFi?
Edit: From searching around on the web I have found a solution that works for me. Download tunnelbear vpn from the market, make a free account, and then turn it on and connect to the US. You should now be able to download any of the apps that were giving this error. Alternatively, you can tether your phones mobile connection if data limits aren't a concern. Every other solution I have found has not worked for me including factory reset, clearing Play store data, etc, etc, but these two have. Hopefully this helps anyone else running into these issues out.
Edit : oh you did a factory reset...
Hmm dunno

Alright, so I've tried everything from clearing play store data, Google services data, wiping cache/dalvik and so on to no avail.
However, I was able to update and download apps that were giving me the error by using my phone as a wireless hotspot.. So maybe it's a problem with my internet provider. Anybody else with Comcast having this issue?

I just now experienced this same issue, and I also have Comcast. My Galaxy Nexus was able to update some apps without issue on 4G, and when I went to update my apps on the Nexus 7 it updated all but Facebook Messenger and Google Japanese keyboard support. Got error 497, cleared my cache/data/force stopped Google Play, tried again, same thing. Cleared out some other things that may have made it even worse (Google Play Services, which appears to have completely messed up my list of Installed/All apps in the Play store, oops) but still no go. Tethered the Nexus 7 to my Galaxy Nexus via Mobile hotspot, and it was able to update, but on wifi it fails. This just started happening today, and I've had my Nexus 7 for about two weeks. Not sure what's going on, and your post was one of the first things that came up when I googled it. I see a factory reset didn't help you. I really don't want to have to resort to that, but it appears it wouldn't have helped me anyway. I'm stumped.

Hi:
I have Comcast and am not having this issue. Keep us posted on your progress.
Best,
Tom
I have tried the standard google search results fix: force quit and wipe cache/ data for Google Play Store and Google Services Framework, reboot
I have tried installing the Google Play Store to the latest update using the apk.
I've tried pushing the update to the device using the online Google Play Store.
I've tried wiping the system caches.
I've reset and formatted it back to factory settings.
I've tried using different google accounts.
I tried using my wifi (custom setup of dd-wrt) as well as resetting dd-wrt back to the default settings. (Charter)
I tried tethering with my cellphone. (Sprint)
I tried a complete fastboot erase and re-flash of system, bootloader, recovery, etc.
Nothing seems to work. Next step is taking it back and trying a new one, unless someone else can think of something that I missed.
My Facebook messenger fails to update, says package file is invalid, not sure if that's my end or theirs, I'd just wait and see if the update eventually pushes through. Maybe just let it be And see if Google knows of the issue and eventually it'll update...

None of this things worked for me either except for tethering with my phone. So this leads me to believe it's a problem on Google's end and not the tablet. I would wait a little while for a fix before returning it..

How old are your comcast modem and wifi router? I had an issue where my internets stopped working because the modem was supposedly too old. I got a new modem from amazon (much better one) and now all is well. And i decided to go ahead and update my router. Its ac capable, so if anyone with a moto x or macbook pro air comes over, I will be ready for them

I'm not entirely sure but I think both are fairly new so I don't think that should be the issue. It just seems weird to me that some apps will download while others won't.

I think I have found a work around. Going to the play store on the web and pushing the app to your tablet seems to work for apps that are giving me this error. However I'm not sure if the web version will push updates or not so that could still be an issue.
Edit: try updating to the newest play store 4.3.10 that is floating around on the web. The issue seems to be resolved now, crossing my fingers.

Honestly, it was becoming really inconsistent.
After updating the Play Store using the apk, I was, again inconsistently, able to get some apps to download and install that were not previously doing so, but only after I cleared Play Store and Frameworks caches and reboot and even then only one would work before I had to clear caches all over again.
Updating the apk also changed the error I was getting for Google services (maps, music, chrome) to "Package file is invalid."

Well that is definitely not good then. I've had no issues since updating the play store but it's too early to say for sure. If I were you I would call Google support to see if they have any useful advice.

Error 492; 497; and "bad package" are all errors that I had been getting with my first device and then with my replacement.
Finally did enough searching to learn it was likely a Comcast DNS issue.
I tried everything from my office internet and it worked fine. I suspect it's why my earlier device started to go wonky because updates didn't update properly or something got corrupted.
Had this issue updating I forget what at work, it would stop at 1.38MB. Which is weird cause didn't have issues with other apps that same moment. Did a google search and tried a different wireless connection... Was able to update.
Two days after, updates apps at work, no problem. Maybe just a hiccup.
