Wrong model on Play Store device list - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I'm using Safestrap and I've installed two roms. One of them is a Google Play Edition that comes with a build.prop containing the SPH-L720 information for Google Wallet functionality. The other is Graviton 1.5 which is a build.prop that has the SGH-I337 information. When I first got the phone, I installed the GPE rom first, and then later installed Graviton. When I went to use the Play Store webpage to install an app, it had 'SAMSUNG-SGH-I337' listed as a device. After I booted into the other rom, the device name changed to SPH-L720. After switching back, after a few hours, the device on the Play Store went back to the I337. I've since booted into that GPE rom one more time, and once again, the device on the market has switched on me. It's been two days now, and I've been in Graviton the whole one, but it will not switch back.
I can't install any apps from the Play Store page, nor can I use the location or remote ring services.
Short of re-installing the rom, is there a way to force Google to update the device listing? I've tried clearing the Play Store and Play Services cache and data from the phone, but it didn't change anything. Will reinstalling the rom even help?

[Q] Play store closes when starting

Hi all,
My play store will not open after updating my PA Rom from 4.2.1 to 4.2.2. I did a full wipe and factory reset before updating, but when I flashed the new rom and google apps the play store just simply shows a white screen and closes after a second - no error message or anything.
I've tryed clearing the data for Google Play Services, the Play store app itself, and disabling it and rebooting multiple times and still nothing. I've also tried reflashing the google apps package and redownloading it, and still nothing. Lastly, I uninstalled the play store app via TB and reflashed the google apps package and that did not work, either.
Running Paranoid Android 3.15 Android version 4.2.2 Grouper. Do you guys think it's an issue with the rom, maybe? I couldn't find anything in the development thread leading me to think no, so I'm guessing it's just my device.
I searched around for a bit and found something about the vender.apk - but not much help on that. Thanks in and advance - any other help would be appreciated.
just reinstall everything including the rom and do a factory reset.
Maybe you could try flashing Google Apps for 4.2.2 :fingers-crossed:

[Q] HELP! Galaxy S4 on MF3 | Play Store Crash

Hey, everytime I open my Google Play Store (which I had to get from the internet) it opens for a while, until I try to download something and then is crashes. After it crashes by trying to download something and I try to re-open it, it just crashes on startup and I get a message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." So this has been happening since yesterday when I used Clean Master to clear up some space on my device, I also link some apps to play using Titanium Backup (don't know if that has anything to do with it) and I attempted to uninstall Google+, and was successful also I applied a custom patch to the Play Store when it worked using lucky patcher. I searched everywhere on the internet and the only solutions i could find are:
1) Clear Play Store and Google Play Services Caches.
2) Enable Download Manager (Which I can't seem to find but I'm not entirely sure on that one so I'll post screenies)
The download manager shown in the screen cap below has no enable or disable option with it)
3) Wipe Android Device completely (Which I did and problem still persisted)
4) Re-Flash ROM. (Which I also did and the problem still continues
So, Im on a completely stock firmware and as soon as I finish going through the setup process feeling relieved I see a notification in my notification shade from the calendar app stating that Google Play Services isn't enabled or something and when I click on the notification the phone fumbles for a second and then the calendar app crashes. After a few minutes, while I was searching for answers, I got my email notifications and everything seemed to be fine. UNTIL I installed the Google Play Store once again, only to have it open and my first attempt to download an app made it crash. And now I'm back to square one. I cannot find "Download Manager" at the bottom of my application list. But I do have two applications under "D" in the App Manager, both called "Downloads".
I'm able to install APKs off the browser just by downloading and installing as normal, and my accounts seem to be working fine. Except the error in the google account "sync error" followed by a message at the bottom of the screen saying sync services are currently unavailable. I'm able to use Youtube and other apps easily without a problem. The only problem is my Play Store. And yes I've already re-cleared the cache and even just cleared the data from both play services and play store in application manager. Problem still persists.
Previous Errors:
1) Device is not provisioned data services error (Which I assume I've fixed because I don't get that error anymore)
2) Google Play Services not supported by your device. (Whenever I opened Youtube, but that doesn't appear anymore)
I'm really out of options this time, I was stumped after I factory restored with ODIN successfully and still was unable to fix my problem. Could this be a Google problem or am I screwed? Really need answers, so THANK YOU VERY MUCH in advance.

UPDATE: I was also able to find my "secdownloadprovider.apk" in my system/app but when I click install is says application not installed...
P.S: If there are any files you would like me to search my device for please say so, I'm becoming really desperate.
New problem
Okay so I decided to wipe the phone once more and re-install the ROM (Which is a stock MF3 ROM that I got from XDA) and the problem still continues, I've been up all night trying to figure this out. Now apps like Google+ (Which I hade to install from the internet on my device) say that the Google Play Services on my device is not supported by my device? What does this mean? It used to happen with the newest version of youtube, now im currently using the old version of youtube which has no problem, and im pretty sure if i were to update it id get the same error. Someone pelase give me some insight. What can possibly be done?

You used all files in the full MF3 Odin? I don't know why it wouldn't work, but your only option may be updating to MK2. It's a very peculiar issue. You could also wipe data in stock recovery and then flash the Odin file to make sure it's as clear as possible.

FIXED IT
After much searching for the problem I gave up and decided to try reloading the stock OS once more and it worked that time... I still have no idea what caused the problem...
Similar issue
Did you ever figure out what the problem was? I'm haing a similar issue with NI1. I'm using titanium backup to restore many of my apps and don't know if it's something I'm doing there that's causing the problem to keep coming back.
I've reloaded stock rom via Safestrap at least twice. But the problem is still there. I can't be certain but i think it may have to do with the syncing of contacts or data with google.
You could always try to reflash the gapps package... If you freeze a part of the gapps package like google services framework, other apps seem to not want to work.

Gapps package? This is the i337. There is no gapps package for the i337 on mf3 or nl1

Play Store not working with any ROM [VS980]

[Update] Took the phone to Verizon and they said the phone had no serial number. It just read 'fffffffffffff'. New one is being shipped.
Ok, I'm throwing a hail-mary in hopes someone can help with this.
I'm having a problem in which I can't get the Play Store to work. No matter what ROM is loaded, KK or LP, it's the same. Play Store gives a "Check your connection and try again" with a retry button. Also Hangouts hangs on a "Signing In" screen and Google Now bypasses the "Yes I'm In" setup and displays no cards. Gmail works, Youtube works, pretty much everything else works.
Things I've tried:
- Clearing cache on Google Play, Google Play Services, and Framework
- Verified Time and Date
- Flashing a stock rom
- Flashing a LP rom
- Gone back to stock with KDZ and TOT methods
- Sideloading Play store APK
- Clearing hosts file
- Reloaded various gapps versions

So yeah, I'm ready to snap this thing in half so hopefully somewhere someone knows what the hell is wrong with this thing.

Problem with google apps

I rooted my GT-I9505 lollipop 5.0.1 last week. After that I installed lucky patcher and modded google play store. Everything was fine, then I decided to uninstall the modded play store and installed the original one. After I did this my phone updates 5 apps on every boot. I guess these are the google apps, because after the installation of the original play store my google apps crashing even I dont use them. Many times youtube keep crashing, maps also and earth.
Someone has a solution for this?
edit: also my phone crashes sometimes when it's on around 10%
Reinstall the stock ROM. You may also need to factory reset your S4.

Google chrome forced update w/o permission

I am on a rooted galaxy tab 4, t330, wifi only model running android 4.4.2 stock rom. I had this a while now and just the other day chrome has been updating all on its own despite my every attempt to stop this. I have done the following.
Ensured that any option to auto update was de-selected.
Cleared data and cache of all google related app. (i.e. play store, download manager ect.)
Used titanium backup to restore back to previous version and detached from play store.
None of this has helped and I am forced to keep getting an update I don't want. Seems almost like a virus as it does this in the background without any input or warning. Also when I do catch it updating and click on it it will not let me cancel the download from play store.
Anyways. Now I'm here. Asking for help to stop this. Is there a file that can be modified or folder that can be deleted. Any input is greatly appreciated!
Flash a cyanogenmod rom without flashing Gapps. Why are you so adamant chrome not update itself??
