[Q] Package File is Invalid - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, a couple of days ago I started getting this error when installing apps. At the beginning it was only a couple of apps that didn't work but it got worse and now no apps work at all. I've done EVERYTHING to fix this, the only thing that works is using a VPN to change my location, that is it.
What I've done:
-Cleared google play store data
-Removed google account and re-entered it
-Factory reset including system then re-installed the ROM
-Switched between 4 different ROMs
-Tried all kernels too
1.Stock 4.3 google edition
2.Battery King v.5 TW ROM Android 4.2.2
3. CM 10.2 Android 4.3
4. JSS15J Pure AOSP ROM Android 4.3
I live in Canada and when i change my location and IP Adress with Hideninja VPN I can install any apps. The only problem is now I can't even get that app and when i could my download speed was Extremely slow.
Anyone in Canada or anywhere else got this problem randomly a couple days ago?

[Q] Can't connect Google Account to phone

Hi guys,
This is my first post on here, I've been more of a lurker but I've got a problem I just cant solve.
My set up..
Nexus 4 16GB
Rooted
TWRP
CM10.1 RC2 - (Was on an old nightly before)
CM10.1 Kernel - (Was on Franco M2 before) (Was UV -100 also) (Fast Bin)
My Nexus 4 was working fine until last night when I decided to do a fiddle around with a few things.. I decided to try out G+, Hangouts etc after watching IO, so I first of all installed Hangouts but it kept taking me to Talk.
I used Rom Toolbox to uninstall Talk and then installed Hangouts, the phone and Hangouts app was working fine but then my Wifi and Data bars just turn grey and have been grey since last night.
I've flashed a new ROM but now I cant log into my account neither initial setup or after..
I get 'Cant establish a reliable connection to the server.. This may be a temporary problem on your Android device.. etc etc)
I've looked at many posts and just cant seem to find a solution. These are the steps I've done so far..
Factory Reset (From inside phone settings)
Cleared Data+Cache from App Settings for Play Store, Framework etc
Factory Reset from TWRP, Flash RC2 + Gapps,
Removed sim, reboot, tried to log in, no success
Could someone shed some light on this?
Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry for creating an extra thread admins, I did some more Google'ing and found a solution.. I downloaded Root Browser.. And navigated to /etc and deleted a file called 'hosts' .. It's all working fine now!

[Q] Kitkat not working properly on Nexus 7 4G 2013

Received Kitkat OTA update to my plain vanilla Nexus 7 4G 2013 (not rooted, not-anything, running 4.3.1), noticed images missing in Play Store, facebook app, small but annoying things i've forgotten now. Decided to take the long march and wipe and install the Kitkat factory image (flash-all.bat went flawlessly, this version: 4.4 (KRT16S) md5:20bee0445c67aa45c002a14e4bac1d77 sha-1:bd6c92418035598c0815d19a2b21066d3f6fe9b6, checked that the hashes do match).
After this, images are still missing in Play Store ("Couldn't load screenshots.") but worse, some apps don't update at all (Maps, Google Drive) and many complain of no connection, for example Hangouts: Signing in -> Couldn't connect to the server, or Youtube.
In Chrome, google.com loads just fine, but going to engadget brings up the page with no images at all despite several reloads (request desktop site ticked on), same with youtube. But some sites work all ok.
I'm connected via 5 GHz wifi, other devices don't have any trouble through this network. Now also tried 2.4 GHz, same issues. Unable to try mobile data due to weak signal.
Any ideas what is wrong, how to fix these issues, what can i do to troubleshoot? And if i decide to go back to 4.3.1, how to prevent OTA from loading? My #1 objective is to gain the use of this tablet back.
Just flashed back to 4.3.1 and everything works perfectly.
3rd time's a charm, so flashed 4.4 again. Same results as described in first post. This 4.4 thing don't work.
Even when installing Kitkat with wipe, Play Store works very erroneously. Maps and Google Drive updates do not succeed, return error 495. Have trouble installing new applications, most do not install, try to download for a long time, then abort. Hangouts will never connect. On a fresh wiped system?!?
NONE of this happened before the Kitkat OTA upgrade. It's like a virus: Make a clean install with wipe for 4.3.1, and Kitkat OTA hogs all the bandwidth immediately...
Play store images loading issue has finally gone, but these still persist:
-Google Drive will not update
-Google Maps will not update
-Cannot sign in to Hangouts, neither before nor after updating Hangouts
-Cannot download many applications from Play Store, the downloads never start (no percentage)
This is unbelievable for Kitkat straight out of the factory image.

[Q] Error 912/ Cant download big apps/games from Play Store

Yeah so basically everytime I try to download an app or game that needs to download additional data (Like Asphalt 8, or Ivona Amy or Fast and Furious 6) the entire download will complete, it will finish downloading till 100% even the additional data, and then it will suddenly just get an error saying 921 could not complete download. I have tried various different fixes to no avail. This happend all the way since stock 4.2. Flashed factory 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.4.2 and the problem still occurs. On 4.3 it had become fixed for a while but again on 4.4.1/4.4.2 stock or custom roms, the same problem happens. I clean wipe the device and everything, even used different play store accounts and made a new play store account but the error still happens.
Thanks in advanced for any help, im really stumped and there is literally no one on the internet with this problem lol.

Google Maps Navigation NOT WORKING and OmniROM OTA problems

Google few days ago released navigation via Maps for my country (Croatia).
Yesterday wanted to navigate but there is only Preview option,like they removed Croatia from the list.
Tryed to fix permissions,force close app,clear data,cache and even installed new ROM.
After all of that i gave up and tryed to navigate via Maps on my bothers Galaxy S3 but its same result(he is running full stock unrooted samsung firmware)
Again nothing,it just says preview.
Then i tryed my fathers Note 2,all same full stock non rooted samsung firmware.
Again same result,it just says Preview.
Can someone explain me whats happening?
Also when i try to update via OTA my OmniROM it starts downloading but after some random % it stops.
I uninstalled several apps via Titanium Backup and installed GoogleDialer Addon mod.

cant use google play, tried 3 different roms

I have now tried several different roms after factory reset and cache wipe, the problem is there anyway.. Cant download from google play. Error 24 or 430 is showing: S whats wrong, any tips?
Which GApps package are you using? Is the error present when you try to download a free app?
Same happened to mine n7 yesterday. I disabled/enabled automatic update in play store rebooted 5 times and changed device host name in dev settings and play store is working properly now (mine gapps package is official PA Gapps)
I have tried PA Gapps also without luck. Its not all apps, just a few.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thx man, i tried changing host name thrue a editor. Couldn't find it in development. It worked instantly, several apps. Not a problem have occurred.
Edit: this effected also my backups. Couldn't restore a bunch of apps, all of them had same false in Google play. Weird! How can it be when you do a factory reset?
