Hey XDA Community,
I updated yesterday my Smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S4) with the OTA Update to KitKat 4.4.2 (Before it was 4.3), since i updated it i lost some Apps and especially the Play Store App, i tried to reinstall the Play Store APK (from chip.de) with no success, when i reinstalled it, my Play Store "just getting stopped" (Force Close), so how to gain my Apps and especially the Play Store back?

Search in app list in the Disabled tab. Maybe it has been disabled for some reason.
if does not find, try with Kies to recover or something like that. There was such option.

Factory reset is always the first thing to do when you got serious problems. So yes, backup and factory reset.

I had a very demanding week at work and during a session of mental autopilot, I allowed a friend who had updated his Nexus 7 to 4.2 - talk me through updating MY Nexus 7 to 4.2 (kernel ver. 3.1.10-g22b4fcd). This is something I would never have done without a little checking to see what kinds of problems people were having, but I wasn't thinking clearly and gambled that it wouldn't cause any major problems.
The first thing I noticed was that none of my apps would update. Every time it reports an "Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S - 5:AEC - 0]". I then tried installing an app from the Google Play Store, and got the exact same error. This happened with several apps.
I've had mixed results installing from the Amazon App Store, with a couple successes. However, it doesn't seem to log me in automatically like it used to. At least the installs were successful.
Next, I used Android Task Manager to Stop the Google Play Store app and Clear Cache and Clear Data and then cycled the power of the Nexus 7.
No Luck. I'm still getting the "Error retrieving information from server" message whenever I try to execute an update or downloading a new install.
I sure hope I don't have to revert back to 4.1.2 because I'm going to have a hard time getting everything setup and working the way I had it.
What should I try next? I greatly appreciate any help suggested. Thanks!
Solved
I created a new account and logged into it. Then I deleted my old account and re-booted the tablet. When restarted, I added my old account and logged into it. Now the updates are working without error.
I hope this helps someone.
I'm having the same issue on 4.1.2

Just fixed the issue by deleting my Google account and adding it again.

Reverting back to GOOGLE PLAY 3.9.17 works, too.
Yep, that worked - just download from here and install ---> http://www.mediafire.com/?zqzgh798ybzo8b7

Tried this but unable to install it, likely because I uninstalled the Google Play Store updates and it rolled itself back to 3.9.17
Removing/re-adding account didn't work either, even w/ a reboot + clearing cache/data of the Google Play Store App.
4.2

Did you clear your framework services cache to get the update maybe? This is one of the symptoms I have read about.
I think the fix was to delete your playstore account on the Nexus and then sign in again.
Others may have better input.
Yeah, sign out and back in. Should fix that.
Ok will try that could not even downloadf any other app either.
Ok i deleted the play account and added a different one and same problem, cant get any apps stuck on downloasding progress bar.
Also how do do you sign out of the account
Also i did download the update to 4.2 via framework clear method.
Iv added a different account google play store I'm still does not work
Go into settings apps find google play click on it .. Clear cache and data .. reboot your tablet
If that does not work . and only then .
go into settings accounts google.. in the google account at the top right click the ... then delete account. REBOOT. it will prompt you to set up your Google account again once it boots backup...
This should Solve your troubles. If not and only then go into settings apps all
FIND GOOGLE FRAMEWORK .. clear data in there..
Good Luck
Ok brb gonn try the above
Done all of the above still not working just shows downloading bar and doesnt download anything time for an rma?

scratch that idea then..... DOH
Im thinking this is software more than hardware issue. Anyone know how to fix this? Id hate to have to do a full wipe on the tablet to try and resolve this,
Get on your computer... Go to play.google.com. log in..
find a simple app and click install.. See if it will install the app to your Nexus 7 ...
or if the nexus is grayed out...if grayed out try a few apps. that we know should work in the nexus. .
This will check to see if your tab has been disabled with wallet... if you can push to the device its just a bug and play store is down for you wait a hour...
By the way ARE you totally stock .. ?
if not whats your configuration
totally stock, not even rooted. will try when i get back home later today,
I had this issue on a rooted N7 with TWRP. After I managed to get the update side loaded, nothing would update and the poor darling vanished from the Google Play website as well. I had to do a factory reset. Then everything was golden. I didn't even lose root, thanks to OTA Rootkeeper.
i didnt even try to sideload the update, all i did was the clear framework cache thingy and then update came and i updated it,
not happy with this if i have to start sideloading all my apps from now on since i dont want to be wiping it to factory settings, i will try the suggestion above when i get home though and see if play store is working, may just let it keep downloading for an hour or so and see if that works.
I think it was the framework clearing that may have caused it. I too tried that step to try and force the update to download. T'was all bad man. However, once I factory reset it, I just left it plugged into power and went out for dinner, when I got back it had downloaded all the apps I had registered on Google Play. Amazon was a different beast of course. By all means, let it percolate and it might fix itself, just keep that reset in mind.
will do, when i get home will leave the tablet on and let it keep trying to install the apps,
when it goes into standby mode when the screen powers off will it still be trying to install the apps in the background or does in standby mode the install process stop?
A problem I have with my Nexus 10, which started several days ago.
As soon as I click the "Google Play" app I get "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped." error and it shuts down.
Seen this problem in other forums, but no definitive answer.
It runs on Android 4.2.2.
I've tried:
Deleting cache of Google play, and some other apps.
Removing my google account and adding it back (or other accounts)
Factory reset (So my current setup is clean).
I'm not as tech savvy as the common dwellers here so I've no idea how to ROM flash or with what to flash it with (Also I'm unrooted, and not sure how I restore older versions of things).
I'm open to suggestions.

If you go to settings, apps, and you press google play, you can uninstall newer versions. I had this problem, but it was because my google play wasn't in /system/app (im rooted with a ROM, and I deleted the gplay from the gapps, so this is not the same problem).

I looked for it, and it doesn't give me that button. I figured that's because after he factory reset it when back to default version (3.10.10) and wasn't able to update, so there's nothing to uninstal.
I'm losing hope, followed by sanity. Arghhh
So far I've unlocked and rooted the N10 to install the latest google play store.
Now the error is changed to "No connection" with a retry button.
Its drastic-but you should re- install the whole image/OS

Yes, that's what he's saying. Sounds like SOMETHING is corrupted, somewhere - even the factory-reset partition.
Last night I was getting "No connection" on G-Play - this morning it's working OK. All other network apps work OK. Not sure what happened.
I'm running PA latest ROM.

Turned it on today and everything starting working as before this problem started.
It must be something on their end, too bad they didn't bother letting me know, wasted some hours on this.
Thanks for all who tried to help.
I've had issues with error-less GPlay crashes that require a reflashing of the entire OS, sadly
hello, I use android 5.0 lollipop.
Google play doesn't auto update and doesn't show notifications for update waiting apps. When I clear "data" for Google Play Store it starts to show notifications, but when I open Google Play , it asks me about google campaigns and agreements, I accept it, and after this process problem starts again.
I am sure this is about the "data" that Google Play uses. Problem disappears when I clear data. Problem starts again after first usage. (first window)
I tried deleting cache and data for Google play services too. I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps.
Thank you.
Try updating the play store
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-store/
And clear cache/data for google services / framework
i tried, still no luck.
ive been having issues with updating apps on my s5.
i got an error code 963
it seems to be with apps ive moved to sd card.
i read something about new android OS after a certain version are not allowing apps to stored in sd card.
i unistalled playstore and reinstalled it and i aldo moved the apps to device storage and both those actions or one of them by itself allowed the apps to update
i dont know if it was just uninstalling the playstore or moving the app to device storage though. thought id share my experience
mine is the sm-g900r4

You already said "I did factory reset and I removed Google Account. Nothing helps"
What extra do you think you can achieve without re-flashing a ROM, that a factory reset couldn't fix?

sorry i am just a beginner user ,i have 2 questions
-if i do flashing rom will my phone out of warranty?
-can i see/change Google Play Store files on my phone? i have no root access
thanks.
No you won't lose warranty flashing STOCK ROMs with ODIN
You will lose warranty if you flash anything custom
Which Google store files are you talking about?
And if you had access to them, being a beginner, what would you be looking for, and what would you change, again, that a factory reset did not achieve ?
Unbelievable !
I flashed last stock rom but problem continues.
I check manually most days, and just update any that are sitting waiting
Not sure if there is like a set time period it waits before auto updating, but the notifications for available updates will likely only happen if you disable auto updates, otherwise it has no reason to tell you there are updates waiting, it will/should just update them and tell you once it's done
So try this:
1. Disable auto updates in Google Play settings
2. Wait for a few days until there are some updates available
See if you get notifications
If yes, try this:
1. Enable Auto updates in Google Play
2. Wait a full week without manually updating, see if they auto update
This has become my issue since I first rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T531.
Before: The Google Play Store worked fine without root, everything goes up to date.
After rooting: The Google Play Store doesn't load. Just goes on the screen with a spinning icon. Removing the account on Google is impossible.
Resetting: The problem gets fixed if I reset
I tried clearing and disabling all Google Apps but it doesn't fix the problem. Is there anything I can do?
[Android version is 5.0.2 on this device]

I can't. I use the tablet as eBook. But I'll try to flash custom ROM whenever possible.
