google play store won't open - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i know there has been a couple of threads concerning this problem. but i have already read all of the threads that i could find. nothing worked.
i live in china and the chinese version of note 3 doesnt have play store installed. so i had to download the apk from the internet. and installed on the phone. it flashes white and closes immediately. also google play services that i installed from the internet yesterday, failed to open. it flashes black for a while and then (unfortunately google play services has stopped). BTW, my weather widget shows a different city. a city which is a little far from where i live. i tried to let gps and map access my location to refresh my home city, but no success.
here are the solutions that i found online and have already tried with no success.
1.Set your correct date and time for the current location. Try this it will work out, and also try to inactivate your play store account and reactivate. (i failed to change my home city in weather widget. the date and time are correct though)
2-Find " Hideman VPN " and Install . you don't need Play Store you can download this from SAMSUNG Store. And Its Free.
Now Open Hideman VPN And Click Connect.
Onces Its Connected Open Internet Explorer And Check Your IP . It Will Be Changed
Now Open Google Play Store .. It Should work
3-clear cache and data, then reboot.
4-Try clearing the data and cache for " Google Services Framework" also (my phone has no google framerowk. no any google service)
5- Your downloads are probably disabled ...go into your settings then application manager scroll over to all. go all the way to bottom you should see downloads click enable. thats what i did works good now.
............none of the above has worked..................
is there anything else i could do? my doubt is that samsung china has disabled something about google or there is a built in app that keeps my home city incorrect. im not sure. i hope to get it to work. andriod is useless without google play.
thanks in advance

Isn't your government that won't alow google services in China?

Fix to market issue with apps not available in Puerto Rico

I hope this help someone!
I recently bought the Galaxy Tab 10.1, GT-P7510 with Android 3.1. When I opened for the first time the Market app I saw few applications and in the market web site some applications like Galaxy on Fire 2 THD displayed the following message:
"This item cannot be installed in your device's country" or Device not compatible message.
This message was very weird because Puerto Rico is a USA territory and I saw this application running in a demo in a same tablet in a local BestBuy. I was really pissed and contacting Google was useless. Google told me that the app isn't available at this time in Puerto Rico, what is a complete lie because this app can be downloaded in iPhones and iPads locally. They recommended me to contact the developer because they are responsible of maintaining the apps. Anyway, I rooted the tablet and downloaded Market Enabler but it didn't work either. But I managed to fix this issue doing the following steps:
1- Removed my Google Accounts from the tablet.
2- In Settings > Applications > Running Services select All
3- Cleared data and Force stopped all Market related services like Market, Market Feedback agent and Market updater.
4- I opened Google.com in my PC's browser and created a new Google account.
5- I selected the Country to United State and leave my Zip Code in blank.
6- Saved the changes.
7- I also logged to my old Google account that I was previously using with the market. I went to account Settings and in the dashboard section clicked in View data stored with this account and then I clicked in Edit personal information and changed Country to United State and remove my Zip Code in blank.
8- I connected my tablet by WiFi to my iPhone. To do this I had to root my tablet and using ADB I was able to do these steps discussed here to enable AdHoc connections in the tablet. The reason I did this is because using my iPhone 3G connection the IP location appears is inside the US and not in Puerto Rico.
9- Added the new Google Account to the tablet.
10- Opened the Market app and was able to see those missing apps.
11- Added the old Google Account and opened the market again. I was able to choose one of the two accounts.
12- Remove the new account created.
13- Disconnected the tablet from my iPhone to connect it to my wireless router as usual.
14- And... Yes!!! I downloaded Galaxy on Fire 2 THD, paid for some useless apps and no more compatibility issues.
I hope this help other persons living in Puerto Rico.
Saludos!

I bought it in a local BestBuy, $499.99
Thanks a lot! I'm gonna try this now on my Transformer. Been having a ton of issues with it's Market. I was just using my cel tether whenever I wanted to download and update apps and force closing market and clearing market data beforehand. But with GOF2 it is forgetting the in-app payment for the unlock if I so much as turn on the game connected to anything other than my cel tether. Only fix so far has been to uninstall the game, re-install and re-download. Luckily you can copy/paste the save files.
Hopefully this method will help, the Google Profile tip should do it.
Has the fix stuck? No matter what router you hook up to?
It works for a while. If i restart the tab or the market app and its connected to my home router the market will block the applications again. Basically i have to stop the market app, clear its data and connect it to my iPhone again to make it work. Basically the trick is connecting the tab using an ISP with an IP's location in the US and not in Puerto Rico. That's why using the iPhone's internet i can see all applications in the market. A VPN connection will also do the trick.
Well, I was verifying the Market and I think that Google made some changes. Months ago I was able to see all the applications in the Market's website using my laptop and for those apps that were not supported in my country it displayed the error message. Now I can't even see those applications in the website. All applications to be purchased are now gone. So, the Market's website is now blocking apps using the IP's location. Also if I connect my tab to the iPhone i can see all the apps but if I use my router with an local ISP all those apps disappears, no matter if I delete the Market's data or not.
This is the fix that Google was stating when I contacted them for support about this issue?

Try signing into GOOGLE TALK.
Sometimes that works.

Just bought Galaxy S5 Gold but can't get it work properly

I was running on a Nexus 4 and I just bought a Galaxy S 5 Gold and I'm so excited. Unfortunately, I'm having two major problems.
1- update could not be downloaded due to an error 920 [when updating the existing apps on phone like Dropbox or Chrome!]
2- Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly. [For my gmail account that has my contacts/calendar/drive/keep]
I've searched all over the web and tried everything. I tried:
1- Turn off Wifi, Turn on Wifi
2- Clear Cache - Clear data from Google Play Store app
3- Reboot
4- Reset phone (Twice!) and try again.
and nothing is working. I noticed that if I turn of the WiFi and try to update using the 3G connection, it works properly. The error only appears when I'm connected to WiFi. Keep in mind that I can browse and use the internet normally so the phone is indeed connected to the internet when connected to WiFi.
I'm literally close to tears. Any kind of help will be appreciated !!
Try to clean cache, then remove Google account, re-enable Google account and this should do it. Worked for me.

Hi! I had this same issue and it was irritating the bejesus out of me. I didn't find a fix but I found a work around to get into the account sync settings: open your stock gallery app, hit your menu key, click settings and bam you're in. I hope it works for you as well!

The Google Play Store won't download apps unless connected to wifi issue.

Hello, I have an S7 Edge Build number G935VVRU4BQF2 running Android 7.0. I was setting the phone up and downloading apps from the Google Play Store and the Google Play Store won't download apps unless it's connected to wifi. I tried to find somewhere in the settings of the device and in the Play Store settings to correct that issue so that I can download on my data instead of wifi all the time and I could not find a way to fix this issue. Does anyone know how to set the Play Store to download on both Data and or wifi? Thank You
