market and google talk not working over wifi

I have a MT3G without a data plan on T-Mobile US. Until this week the market, and google talk were working fine over wifi, but now I am not able to sign into google talk, and the market hangs on "Starting Download" for apps. I thought it may be a ROM issue - I am currently using CyanogenMod v 4.0.4 - but I have switched to a couple of different ROMS and still have the problem. The only other thing that has changed for me is my location. I moved from AZ to TN to go to school. Is anyone else having this problem? Any thoughts on solutions?

[Q] play store wont work over wifi

anyone else has this issue?
clearing data/cache doesnt help
i even reinstalled and formatted everything last night over another issue, so its not the problem.
A. Is it an issue with the 4.1.10 play store? cus I installed it over stock 4.1.6
B. Is it an issue with the modded multi DPI play store?
this is the only thing i can think of that has modified play store
I have the same issue that started yesterday. I tried accessing Play Store on my GS4 (with Omega ROM 7.0) over wifi and the connection always times out. I tried everything short of a factory reset:
force stopped & cleared Google Play cache
force stopped & cleared Play services cache and data
checked date & time
changed Google password
added new Google account
deleted hosts file & rebooted
Funny thing is, Play Store works fine on my 4G connection but not over wifi. I also tried connecting on my unmodified Nexus 7, also no Play Store. Wifi internet on both my devices works perfectly. Both versions are 4.1.6 and can't update it over wifi.

[Q] Google Play Store Error 497 (Cannot download apps)

Hey all,
I've searched the forums (long time lurker). I have a Nexus 4 on PA 3.94 that cannot download apps through the Google Play Store. I downloaded the v.4.3.10 APK and installed, then wiped the app cache - however Error 497 still persists. (NOTE: this worked on a separate Nexus 4 on PA 3.94 that was having the same issue, on the same WiFi network).
I've also tried:
- Factory Wipe
- Clean install of PA 3.94
Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Edit: The working Nexus 4 is now having error 497 again on the same WiFi network indicating the APK download and app cache wipe didn't work.
Edit 2: Currently experiencing intermittent Error 497 while on WiFi (on multiple ISPs). Downloads work more often over Cell Networks (T-mobile for example).
Efforts that DO NOT fix Error 497:
- Updating to Google Play Store 4.3.10
- Clearing Google Play Store and Google Play Services data (and cache).
- Rebooting phone
- Removing Google Play account
- Wiping Cache and Dalvik Cache
- Factory Reset
Edit 3: Issue exists on multiple devices (Nexus 4, Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2, GT-I9500) and on multiple JB Versions (4.2.2 and 4.3).
Edit 4: General consensus is to wait this out. Google is aware of the issue and it is likely an issue with Google's servers. Just wait it out by downloading over Network or downloading APKs on your computer/device browser.

Several posts like this have popped up across a couple of different forums. I'm having the same issue. I can download some apps, but others (Google Play Music, TV Guide Mobile, Google Play Services) won't download. I was running stock rooted. I tried installing CM10.1 thinking maybe it was an android 4.3 thing, that also didn't work. I tried doing a full factory reset to both 4.3 and 4.2.2, neither worked. My wife's phone, an Optimus G, works perfectly on the same WiFi network. The downloads work on mobile data, but I've already been throttled for the month (hit my 500MB limit with straight talk as I was troubleshooting the error)
I'm wondering what else is related. Who is your ISP? Mine is Comcast.

My ISP is Comcast as well. I don't have network access here (T-Mobile) so I can't test if that would work for me like it has for you. I did see one other thread posted this week with the same issue. Perhaps this will be resolved with the next PA update or the next Google Play Store update.
Just started having this issue tonight. My cell provider is bell and isp is telus, I'm in Canada. This is the first time I've tried downloading something since the 4.3 updated, and this phone has always been stock. Maybe it's related to the update?
Same here. Error 497. Comcast ISP. Worked when switching to cellular. I fixed this by going into my router configuration and adding Google DNS (8.8.8.8) as default.
Error has something to do with Comcast dns servers. Hope this helps.

Try changing your DNS. I've read that this has helped write a few people and explains why it often only occurs in certain locations.
I seemed to have the same issue. I was hitting the update all button on top of the screen and specifically Google Play Books and just recently FB Messenger failed to update. I then went into each app individually and used the update button to update. This method worked for me. Both apps are now installed without issues.

This seems to have worked for me.

Never mind. I still can't download certain apps. Is there anyway to fix this?
Edit: I fixed both DNS with 8.8.8.8 and that seemed to fix my issue. I downloaded all my apps.

I'll try the DNS out. Thanks.
Note: The Error 497 has been occurring intermittently now while on Comcast.
I have switched my dns setting twice still no luck half the apps get the 497 error. I'm on Comcast Michigan Nexus 4.
Same problem with 497 and "package file is not valid" on wifi
I am having the same problem with my nexus 4. Its definitely not the 4.3 update because mine was working fine when I got that update. It has to be google servers and your ISP (I am on Suddenlink in Arkansas). I tried force stopping/data/cache wiping google play/frameworks....that yielded no success. The only thing that remotely worked was changing my DNS in my router to 8.8.8.8/8.8.8.4.4. That works on some apps, but others give me the "Package is not valid" error. Still others make it to a certain percentage of download, then just freeze. The download arrow in the notification bar even disappears when this happens.
However, my mobile data works perfectly every time! I can tether to my nexus 7 and that works fine too. Its just the wifi that is messed up. Oh and I initially thought it might be my router so I switched back to my old one and that didn't work either.
My conclusion: everything worked fine on wifi until the new google play update a few days back (4.3.10). I manually pushed that to my phone and tablet and ever since this has happened. Even after uninstalling the update (rolling google play back to 4.2.3) it is still messed up. It seems the problem is Google/ISP server issues. Glad my cell data works though!
Oh and you can even use your wifi in your phone/tablet and go to the web version of the play store and download/update just fine....very strange. I hope google fixes this soon! I love my nexus 4 and 7 and hate how I am restricted like this.
I'm having the same problem with a new N7. Also using Comcast in MI. Factory wipe the tablet, enter in my Google account, and core apps like Chrome and Play Music refuse to update, package file invalid. I've been troubleshooting this for hours until I ran into this thread. Switched over to using my phone in tether mode and my tablet updates right away. Comcast is doing something that is breaking Google Play.
More details: changing DNS to 8.8.8.8 doesn't seem to help. Updates and installs for certain apps will fail like clockwork over Comcast, work fine over Sprint, every time.
Hideman vpn let me run updates that didn't run on my comcast wifi. Dns setting did not help. Something odd is going on. I've gone back 4.2 and that doesn't fix my issues. I also did upgrade to the latest play store a day or two ago. It some might be some weird authentication error. I get 497 errors and the invald file error. Behind the vpn things run fine. Its driving me nucking futs. I've wiped, tried custom Roms downgraded and tried multiple DNS severs.
Invalid file Hideman vpn thread kind of helped me even though I don't want to use a VPN every time I have app download or upgrade on the play store.

Google Play and Wi-Fi Issues
I was getting the same issue from three different Wi-Fi networks. I was at home, work and Starbucks and still was receiving error 497 or package invalid issues. Tried over cellular data and it worked. Wondering if the Google Play store is having issues with Wi-Fi networks. Try installing updates NOT using Wi-Fi.

I've tried both ways, both ways errors.
Comcast, new nexus 7, can confirm this issue.
I have been having this exact issue for two days on Frontier DSL and a 2013 Nexus 7. I have tried 3 different routers, changing DNS settings, etc. and nothing has worked. If I reset the router, however, and immediately try a problem download, it will usually work. If I wait too long, I will get the 497 or package file errors....
Like others, it will work perfectly every time if I am connected to a cellular hotspot.
Just chiming in to say I've been having this same issue both last night and tonight. Some apps will download or update, and some won't. The ones that won't give me error 497 or say package file invalid. This is true on my new 2013 Nexus 7, the old 2012 Nexus 7, and Galaxy Nexus when using wifi. Everything was working peachy on all three devices until last night.
When using cell data either on the phone or as a mobile hotspot for the tablets the apps will download again, but as soon as I switch back to wifi I start getting errors. I've tried clearing the cache & data and force closing the Play Store & Google's Framework Services, deleting the apps and trying to redownload them, rebooting the devices, restoring past Titanium Backups of the Play Store, etc. But so far the only way to download or update apps since last night is to use cell data.
The new Nexus 7 has Play Store v4.3.10 The old Nexus 7 is running 4.2.3. I can't check the version on the Galaxy Nexus right now. But all three are having the same problem so I don't think it's version specific. The two Nexuses are running stock 4.3 and the Galaxy Nexus is running a custom 4.2.2 Rom, so it isn't Android version specific, either. All are rooted & unlocked, if that matters.
For what it's worth I also have a Comcast router, but it was working fine with Play Store updates until last night. I have the feeling this is something on Google's end. No idea what's happening, but I hope it gets resolved soon.
Same issue here too. On both wifi and mobile data though. I tried changing my DNS to Google, wiped cache and dalvik, tried pushing the update from play store on desktop. Always the same 497 error. :/

Google Play Store won't download apps

I have a T-mobile LG V20 and I have been trying to download apps and games and for some reason it only downloads when connected to WiFi, I tried everything, clean cache on app settings, uninstalled google play store and all and still nothing. I am in south america and I was using data with no problems until a couple of days ago that this problem started, I have international unlimited data so data is not the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!
Same issue for me. I have tried reboot, clearing cache, etc, etc apps will only update or install with wifi
Google play has a settings option to only download via Wi-Fi.
I hate to say this, have you tried booting into recovery and wiping and seeing if re-setting up your device works?
The Setting in Google Play is only for auto updating apps on WiFi. If I manually try to Install or Update an app and I am on mobile data...it just says Downloading forever.
I have not wanted to try and Reset yet.
Anyone find a solution to this? I'm in Sprint and been having this problem for a couple of weeks now.

I had this problem for a while. The only way I could get them to work was over wifi. I ended up doing a factory reset for other reasons, but it works now over LTE after that.

Redmi A1. Unable to download/update apps from Google Play Store using WIFI

Hi,
Just got this phone for 2 days. I am unable to download apps from the Google store using WIFI, download froze on "downloading".
I tried factoring resetting twice but still not working. When using cellular network apps downloading is no problem.
Anyone has any idea how to solve it or is experiencing the same?
PS. Same threads suggest disabling IPV6 but that too didnt work.

Same problem on oreo february on other wifi networks i can download from play store but in one i can't, on other phones it isn't this problem on same network, what to do?
Flash custom 8.1 with opengapps and leave the crap stock roms
Btw: never had this issue on stock beta January,February and March.
did you try rebooting your phone? i just got that bag, until tonight i have never faced this problem, but few minutes ago i was trying to update some apps and the speed was so slow it was annoying. but simple reboot solved it.
