marketplace down?

I recently performed a nand restore from a custom Rom I didn't want to keep and now, everything I try to download from the marketplace fails. when you do a restore, do you need to factory wipe and dalvic wipe as well? sorry of this is a dumb question!

I had this problem and it may be for a completely different reason. I was uninstalling apps i don't use and I uninstalled Google talk. After some searching people who were having trouble downloading apps in the market fixed it by signing into google talk. I restored to a backup before i removed it and logged in and it worked fine.

Sometimes I have trouble d/l ing when I'm on wifi.

Me too. Whenever I am on wifi the download just hangs at "Starting" until I switch the wifi off. Im not sure if this is by design or not.

ugh this is really bugging me. I've done a factory and dalvic wipe and restored again and still cannot download off the marketplace. I'm at my wits end.
edit: I even did just a factory wipe with no restore and started from scratch and the marketplace still won't download. I'm stumped. maybe I should do the revert back to stock unrooted 1.5 and then root again. or maybe I should wipe then reflash the rooted 2.1. any suggestions? thanks!

Tried it. Didn't work. I just reflashed to the rooted 2.1 and still cannot dl from market and now cannot sign in to Gtalk.... maybe it's a google thing?

[Q] Notification Pull Down not working after 4.3 OTA

A friend of mine just updated her Nexus 4 to 4.3 via OTA. Since the update several background apps kept crashing repeatedly, but she uninstalled them before I could get her to check what the exception message was. After removing the apps everything seems to be working except the Notification Pull Down. Notification Icons correctly display in the Status Bar, but you can't actually open the Notifications. Try as you might it just refuses to open. The phone has been rebooted several times to no avail.
I've searched several threads but haven't found anything even remotely similar to this. Anyone have any ideas?
I'm not sure what App affects notifications to even try clearing data on. I've thought about removing her google account cpmpletely and readding it, but I'm helping her over text, so trying to keep the complicated solutions for when we've tried everything else.
Any suggestions or ideas would be very greatly appreciated!

Has she wiped dalvik cache? I think that not wiping dalvik can cause apps to crash.
Try to reflash the ROM and wipe cache & dalvik, and do a factory reset and optionally wipe /system partition.

The phone is completely stock, non-rooted, locked bootloader, running stock 4.3 OTA.
I'm trying to find GUI solution that doesn't involve installing a custom recovery. Thanks for the idea though.

Doing a factory reset seems like the only logical thing to try, in case you don't want to unlock your bootloader and install a custom recovery. Beware, you will lose your apps and their data.
You can try to reflash the ROM again, but I don't know what's the procedure with the stock software. If you can just apply update from .zip, than you should be able to do that from the stock recovery. I never had any OTA update so I can't help you further unfortunately.

Play store issue after KK ota

Hey all, I've noticed since I've updated to KitKat, my Play store hadn't updated once, while I log onto my other devices and they all show the same updates. Has anyone else experienced this? I've cleared cache, all data, restarted. Everything except factory restore.

I use an i9506, and i tried flashing a few roms on it. However, cyanogenmod always caused a bootloop so I reverted back to an old backup. Then one day, I noticed that play store kept crashing. So I tried editing the hosts, wiping cache, even factory reset but Play store kept finding a way to srop working. Right now, my play store opens but crashes soon after and keeps on crashing until i wipe the data. The it repeats. Can anyone give me a solution?

Try doing a clean wipe, not factory wipe. Then re-flashing rom with the correct gapps.

S8+ Android Pie update lost after factory reset?

Hey guys! So I recently got the option to update to android pie, now since I have the phone for 1.5 years unrooted and it started to be a little slow i decided to factory reset it before updating, now after actually doing the reset it does not show the update anymore and keeps showing me the phone software is up to date, any suggestions? thanks!
Images attached.

Strange, I've never seen anything like it, but you can flash rom using odin.

Any ideas guys? Im still not getting any updates!

Assume you've tried to manually check for updates right?
If that does not work go to your apps, turn on show system apps, now find them "Google services framework" app and clear data, then immediately reboot.

What do you mean manually? Ive checked in the software updates many times since then, tried wiping cache, and google services framework data, tried checking with smart switch. Nothing.

By manually I just meant tapping the update manually button.
Can you use the emergency recovery option in SmartSwitch? Maybe it will reflash current or part of rom or at least reset a system version flag (that maybe factory reset doesn't). I guessing here, never had to use it, but if it was me I'd give it a try.
Only other ways I know would be to flash with Odin, or via recovery or use ADB (obviously make sure you have the correct file for your phone region, provider etc research if you are not familiar with doing this)
