So I upgraded to Google Play v4.3.11 a week ago, BUT I keep getting bad Google Play Services drain with it. On v4.2.9 I get little to no Google Play Services drain (only 5%-7%; verses 30+% with v4.3.11). Whenever I try and push the v4.2.9 apk it works, until I reboot my phone and it goes back to v4.3.11 for some reason. Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
That's because Google play updates itself. And as far as I know there is no way to stop it from upgrading

I've heard this a lot, and from what I've heard/seen, there are a few solutions:
Clear the data for the google framework, the google play store and the google play services.
Log out and then back into your google account.
Clear cache if you need too.

Well when the update came in, it's was stored to data/app
Have you tried deleting the APK from data/app, then MO ing your old Playstore to system/app, then setting permissions rw-r-r?
I've yet to see This battery drain personally, but I've heard much about it. Sounds like a *****. Lemme know if you've tried that method. I csn always make a flashable for you, that will delete the new in data/app, then flash the new apk to system/app and set permissions

Is it possible to get Google Wallet without the modded apk and by only disabling permissions on the original apk and using MarketEnabler?

If those system apps are on your device you should be able to access them by unfreezing them with titanium backup. Once unfrozen they will be visible, unfortunately with the latest updates Google wallet no longer works for me. (Still had $1.67 left on it too )

Are you using it? How is it? Is it working fine?
If you could disable all location services and connect to US VPN at all time, then google wallet should work... just need to wipe network location and play store data...

Doesn't MarketEnabler spoof that you are in the us? I enabled it and it still says not supported...
Given that Google has stopped giving out prepaid credit and AFAIK you can only add US credit and debit cards I'm not sure how useful this will be.
If I'm mistaken let me know.

Ok so I defrosted all locked Google apps like books and wallet. All of them are useless as they're empty and none of those services work abroad. The free books seem preloaded tho. I'll set up a US proxy and clear the data later, see how it goes. Google wallet wouldn't even open without updating bwt so I sideloaded the newest version but as expected, it simply opens and says it's not available in my country.
Well through a proxy I was able to access all the content from the play store I didn't have access to before. But Google wallet still says instantly that it's not enabled for my device or carrier. But I really don't need it so I'm not going to bother changing my locale, spoofing my carrier and running a proxy. I'll probably go ahead and freeze all those apps again except for books.
If anyone else feels inclined to pursue this, feel free.
Btw there's a guide here

Anyone can check the coding if the apk is safe on xda?
possible to change permissions in order to have the same result as the patched one?

No need to use a modified apk..
Edit the build.prop. Google it.
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
If I edit the build.prop, will it change all the app selections in the app store?

What device should i change to? Nexus 7 supports google wallet but I think its rooted thats why it doesn't allow me i think. Anyway of bypassing it without the apk mod?
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.

I have my nexus 7 for a year and I have in countered an issue. I was travelling to Switzerland (i am not sure if the following has anything to do with the problem) when I wanted a little extra coins on some apps like subway surfers the apps require "in app purchases" and I had seen a friend get all in app purchases free on iOS so I tried to do the same. I downloaded an app and it asked me to change my timezone to Moscow and so I did. The app did not work. I uninstalled it and came back to Sydney and my WiFi bars are Grey and I can access the internet but I can't access Google play services. I have done some research and a lot of users say I have to make sure my timezones are correct and they are. I have rooted my nexus 7 and am running the latest stock android with the new Google play. Can somebody help this driving me crazy!?

Do you have root?
If you have root, you can do the following to turn back to blue :
1)Download latest google play store app. and also google services framework.
2)Install the google play app(do not open the app).(warning:- do not install services framework now.)
3)Open root explorer.
4)Go to system/app. find the google framework services.apk and delete it.
5)Copy and paste the downloaded framework services.apk to system/app.
6)Exit the root explorer app and clear all recents.
7)Again open the root explorer and go to system/app and find your google framework services.apk and install it.
8)Exit root explorer and restart the phone.
9)Now go to settings/apps/all.Find the services framework there click on it and first clear the data then force stop the app.
10)Now restart your and bingo! your wifi is in blue and you can connect google+.
11)If not working then there may be a problem in your wifi router
So I got my nexus 4 few days back and after enjoying it stock for a few days i finally decided to root it. after installing root explorer and checking the system golfer i came to know that 5 apps were disabled by default namely Earth, play magazines, sound recorder, wallet, Google ears.. dunno how to enable them? I live in India, maybe this is a country specific problem :/

Wrong section mate. Should be in troubleshooting.
Uninstalling the apps and reinstalling them should do the trick.

yea i think the same. So u got any idea how to enable them. I grabbed the apk of wallet, earth, and play magazines from system and copied it to my sd card and installed them like normal. Now they show up in my app drawer but the same method does not work for google ears and sound recorder, they say installation failed. any bright ideas mate?

stick them in /system/app/ then reboot. theyll install on boot, but i dont think that itll enable them.
Everybody waiting for the update on their Nexus device, heres a simple solution that works.
1) Goto settings and remove your google account from the accounts tab.
2) Goto Apps and force stop and clear data for Google Framework Services
3) Go check for update and Voila
4) Add your google account back.
Done :victory:
P.S - This might also work for future OTA updates so remember the idea

I dunno concerninh 4.3 update but I did this 2 times to get the OTA previously on 4.11 and 4.12 update and it just works....
Just tried this and it didn't work
Trick worked for me, cleared data twice before i got the update.
Some people might be having more luck than others, just keep trying.
Im on nexus7 3G btw.
It doesn't work for everyone. I tried it about a dozen times to no avail on both my N7 and my N4. Then the next day both auto updated.

Try and try and try until it works. (You may have to do this 20 times but it will work eventually)
Does updating like this kill what apps i have? I have like... 400 plus. I'd hate to have to reinstall.
Worked without removing google account, only clearing data for framework app.
I got bored of waiting, and I found necessary files to root, so I gave it a little push. Downloading OTA update as I type this.
Thanks

After just clearing the Google services framework on my stock Nexus 7 it was no longer listed in my Google Play store devices. Subsequently, when I installed new apps on the Nexus 7 they still show up in my 'My Apps' list on Google Play, but the Nexus 7 device did not show so I could not push apps to my tablet using Google Play Store from a browser. Also since the device was no longer listed I could no longer determine, from a browser, if apps were compatible with the Nexus 7. I read elsewhere that the "device" comes back after a few days; I tried a few things to help it along (click on acct name etc....) but after a few days it was still not back. I had installed quite a few apps directly from the Play Store app on the N7 since doing this "data clearing" but it was still missing from my list of devices on Google Play website.
UPDATE: apologies to the OP; I had quickly read his post and skipped over his first step of removing Google account. Following the OP instructions in this thread I got the update right away....AND my N7 "device" is now shown in the Play Store again (thank you). By previously just doing the force stop and clearing data in Google Services Framework, as suggested in many other forums, it seemingly removed my N7 device from the Play Store without getting me the update .
My N7 is listed in the Play store devices same as before.
