[Q] Strange app update problem

I had a quick look through this area and didn't see anything about it so hopefully someone will be able to help.
I was running stock 4.2.1 unlocked and rooted on my Nexus 7 and everything had been fine but in the last couple of days 3 apps haven't been able to update properly.
The Play app tried to update Nexus Media Importer, BBC iPlayer and Facebook but every time it tried it left a message for each saying:
"Update for <app name> could not be downloaded due to an error (Error while retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])"
Everything else seems to work OK and my Nexus has just updated to 4.2.2 but the error persists.
I tried uninstalling Nexus Media Importer but get a similar error when trying to reinstall it.
I looked in 'Storage' and found that somehow it was using .98GB of my RAM so I uninstalled some stuff and got it down to 748MB (still a lot?) but still I cannot install Nexus Media Importer or update BBC iPlayer and Facebook - same error.
Any ideas? I can browse and do everything else so my Internet connection is fine and my 'phone updated BBC iPlayer and Facebook without any problems so it's definitely local to the Nexus.
Also what does 'Apps (app data and media content)' refer to other than the obvious? It shows pictures, videos, downloads, etc. separately and I don't have that many apps installed so I'm bothered as to why it's using so much RAM. (All cache is cleared, BTW)
Searching here I found something about stopping Google Services Framework and clearing data followed by a restart but that didn't do it, also I have a second Google Play account so I switched to that but it was the same.

In case anyone goes looking for the same problem in future, the cure was to delete the main email account that the Play store uses (Settings / Accounts / Google), then recreate it and all will be well. It will delete emails, calendar entries, etc. but they'll be reloaded when you log back in so nothing will be lost.

Galaxy S4 Google Edition and Facebook App

Hello,
I am using a new Galaxy S4 Google Edition and when searching for the facebook app, the actual app does not appear. Facebook messenger comes up, as well as other facebook apps but the official facebook app does not come up. If I put in a search for facebook, not press the search button, and select the facebook app that appears in the drop down, I get the dreaded "can not retrieve information from server" message. I have tried all of the other tips (clearing cache, uninstalling updates, resetting the phone, etc.) without any success. All other apps that I use are fine.
Any ideas?
Jim

[Q] Facebook not showing any images?

I have recently installed cyanogenmod 11-20131124-albinoman887-jfltexx onto my galaxy s4, and I am having issues with facebook not showing any images and messenger not working properly as well. Everything else seems to work fine. Facebook did initially work well, but (i think) after I accidently clicking update for the facebook app from blackmarket appstore, it started to not show any images. Is there a fix for this? This might be an obscure situation.
also I did try clearing cache and data, uninstalling and reinstalling, ect. maybe its the problem with the rom?

[Q] GPE rom hangouts won't sign in

http://i58.tinypic.com/25a7otc.jpg
I've flashed the GPE rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2557353 and after that my Hangouts won't sign in. Tried several reboots and clearing cache from Google play services.
Gmail and other accounts using Google works fine, it's just Hangouts that's giving me trouble. I've just downloaded Hangouts and Google Play services today so it's the latest versions. I've googled and what I've found is that similar problems for other people get an error message, which I dont' It just says "Not signed in" and nothing happens when clicking on it or the settings button on the S4.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Solved - I took a picture and choose to share it with Hangouts. I then got prompted to sign in and now it works!

[Q] Keyboard Error (Stock) am I the only one?

Just got my s5 yesterday. Love the phone so far. Just one problem in the twitter for android app. when I do a search in the app (for example - looking up a twitter user) when I click their name I get a message saying unfortunately Samsung keyboard has stopped. I only get this error in this app doing this search function. I have deleted the cache for Samsung / twitter / uninstalled and reinstalled twitter and did a reset of the phone - the error continues. Does this sound like a phone or an app problem?
Thanks for the help.

I've never seen that error, so just you. Or more likely something with your app or phone configuration.
I'd guess it's a problem with your Twitter app, a bug or incompatibility in how it passes information to the keyboard, causing it to crash. Try going into the Settings menu application manager and clearing both cache and data for your Twitter app and the Keyboard. Note that clearing data will remove customized settings and passwords..
If the problem persists, try using a different keyboard.
