Are you sure Play store account is for the NX7 and not another Android device? I am using the same account for NXS and NX7 without any trouble. Just a thought.

I've had this numerous times on my HTC One S but not yet on the Nexus, the last time I was suffering on my HTC I discovered that if I "forgot" my Wifi network and re-registered it sorted it out, it hasn't happened again since then so I can't guarantee it as a fix but worth a try.
Go to settings in the app drawer, scroll down to "Apps" and when the windows load choose the tab that says all. Find Google play store and force stop it, clear the apps cache and data and reboot the device. Then run a Google sync and try the play store again and let me know if you get that error message or a different error message or if it works.

I would try fc Google play, clear data then also in apps fc Google services framework, clear cache and data. Try Google play and you should get an error. Then reboot and try it.

This worked perfectly for me on my GS3, thanks man! My problem was caused by restoring back to an ICS Rom from a JB one. Google Play seemed to think my device was still on JB for some reason and kept throwing me JB updates that were in fact invalid for my ICS device. I did everything else suggested and this was the only fix that worked, no more invalid updates.
If there's anyone that didn't work for, try installing it from the google play webpage on a computer. That's what sorted it out for me.
It's a known issue which is caused by a play store update.
Just keep trying and it will work, but Google will fix this soon.

no, it´s not, i´m still getting this error, tried every possible solution, even fully wiping, and nothing seems to work.
The same problems since 4.3
I am having the same problem invalid package file since I updated my Nexus 4 to JB 4.3.
I had tried every single tip I had found but useless. Some apps update well others dont.
Usualy the small ones are updated and the big one arent. I have being thinking ifthe problem is linked to the download manager. I have poor conexion and no so fast, and I have noticed the download progress bar behaving erratic up and down...
Any help or idea?
Please help someone. I rooted and installed titanium backup and superuser and busy box successfully on my AT&T galaxy s4. Had no problems whatsoever with that process. Went buttery smooth..
However, when I go into my GALLERY or a lot of other options, I automatically have this error pop up which freezes my phone for anywhere from 5 seconds to 30, sometimes having to reboot entirely and it keeps happening no matter what I do. The error says "Unfortunately Samsung Text to Speech Engine has stopped" all I can do is click OK but it keeps happening. I read a post from 2010 with the Galaxy S I believe it was stating there was a similar issue and it involved KIES software but those instructions didn't help me.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, how can I correct it? Thank you
Sorry, disregard my post below. I found out how to fix it. I feel like an idiot. Please delete or lock this thread

Do this...
Go into Settings then go into My device then go to Language and input then go to Test-to-speech options and select Google Text-to-speech engine and then remove Samsungs TTS on Titanium Backup and it shouldn't do it as it don't do it on mine no more...
Hope that helps...

If this happens it's probably because you removed ChatON.

EDIT: I actually went into settings-language-text to speech, and chose Google instead of Samsung, and it worked. I also disabled ChatOn and it still works. Hopefully this helps.
OLD REPLY:
They're right. I deleted chaton also butour had a backup I restored. You probably need to put the chaton apk back into the system/app folder, and give it rw-r-r permissions, then reboot and you should be good. I'd use X-plore app to do this
solved it by going to the tts settings and downloading a language to tts
Solved for me as well thx to your advice guys!! Thank you all!!
Another option
I did the exact same thing. Deleted some bloat ware (including chat on) and S Voice stopped working correctly. Kept getting "unfortunately text to speech engine stopped" error. Even though I had a back up on TB I it didn't fix the error message. I tried changing from samsung to google text to speech but then my S Voice didn't work. Finally I just unrooted it (youtube How to Unroot & Unbrick galaxy s4). Very simple and straight forward. It took it back to factory firmware, then I just rooted it again. And now I'm obviously not going to delete chat on. Just thought I'd share for anyone who uses S Voice a lot.
S Voice has stopped Working>> HELP
After rooting my phone with CF Auto root, i then removed some of samsung bloatware that was when i found out that my s voice and s translator are not working. when i click on the application it says unfortunately samsung text to speech has stopped working and later freezes the phone for a while then disappears. I have done alot of research on this issue, some people said its chaton i deleted...but i later installed chaton and i still experience the same thing. I even installed samsung text to speech through root explorer then i click on the s voice it just stop working and says s voice has stopped working and disappear. Please Guys i really need help on this cos i use S voice alot..Any idea would be appreciated..

Just load up your firmware file again and it will restore everything back to normal.
How do I do that? Pls be kind to explain
Sent from my GT-I9500.. A former blackberry user
What fixed it for me was a combination of suggested solutions.
- install ChatOn and ChatOn Video and Voice Calling from the Play store
- change Language and Input TTS options to Google
a. Freeze Samsung text to speech with Titanium - this will make all apps use Google TTS instead
or
b. Convert Samsung text to speech to a user app in Titanium - now you can select it again and download HD voice packs to actually use the samsung TTS which sounds really good with the new packs.
- (optionally) uninstall ChatOn and ChatOn Video
Follow this thread in case you want to remove Bloatware the right way.

will you please please help put chaton step by step im new to this and im affraid i will damage my phone. please help
What actually fix my phone was flashing the latest firmware via pc odin. Because I download chaton it didn't work, I did everything mentioned and nothing worked for me. So I freeze samsung tts through titanium backup and kept using Google tts. That will solve it but I prefer samsung tts cos the voice is clear so I flashed my firmware and got all my apps back working.

Another path
Thanks for the posts, it definitely is ChatOn causing the issue. I was able to restore Samsung TTS doing the following
1. Restore ChatOn - requires a reboot
2. Restore Samsung TTS
got it back and avoided unrooting, or attempting reloading firmware.
Hope this helps!
Dear All,
For more than a week, I have been frustrating about the 403 error on my Galaxy I9502 Duos. I have searched many places on the Internet, and I still couldn't make it work. The problem is really killing me, and I spent the whole last night writing emails with and trying solutions from Google support team, and in the end, they said they couldn't help me due to that my cellphone is a rooted device. That's ridiculous! How could I have the Google Apps without rooting my I9502?
So I have tried many ways that I can find, but still, the problem is not solved, please help me and you are my last hope!
Here are the information:
1. I'm using a stock rom based on Android 4.2.2:
Baseband version: I9502ZNUCMH3
Build number: JDQ39.I9502ZNUCMH4
2. I installed below package：
gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip
3. Methods I have tried:
3.a I have found below link in xda, and tried below methods, and it doesn't help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1567456
3.a.1: Wiping cache, clear data, clear cache and force stop all below components and restart:
Google Play Store, Google Play Store Service, Google Services Framework
But this doesn't work!
3.a.2: Remove Account:
And I even tried to add another google account of my family, but still doesn't work as well!
3.a.3: Reset both two APNs to the default:
Note, I mainly use WIFI. And both two APN has been reset to default. But this doesn't work!
3.a.4: Using proxy:
I have GAEProxy and Ladder Trial installed. But this doesn't work no matter the proxy is opened or closed.
3.a.5: Revert back to the old play store:
I am using the oldest play store together with gapps-jb-20130812-signed.zip, and obvious this doesn't work too.
3.a.6: Switch to another account:
I switched to another google account, but this doesn't work.
3.a.6: Factory Reset
I didn't do this yet, but I am seriously thinking about this。。。
4. Beside this problem, I also found that my browser can not access mail.google.com
And there is a similar error message:
403. That’s an error.
Your client does not have permission to get URL /2 from this server. That’s all we know.
All, I have tried all my best, and still, I can't figure out this problem. Please help me!!!!!

This is first time when I hear that someone needs root to access Google Play. On all of my Android devices Google Play was working WITHOUT root...
do you have any idea at all why have you rooted your phone?

Really? I really have no idea how to install Google App without root on Galaxy S4 I9502 ? Could you please shed some light on it? Thanks!
In addition, I personally think this is not a issue relate to root as my worked phoned had worked for month until this came up suddenly.
Have tried almost the same thing...
I've done almost the same things as wangmengj (except for trying another google account). Still no success.
My device is an UMI X1 :cyclops:
Also:
My google play doesn't update by himself, but I tried removing all updates (reset to version 3.3x.sumthin'), then manually installed the newest version (I believe it is 4.4.22).
Still no success.

I have no idea what're you doing and why.
First of all, to check if your Google account is OK, log in from laptop, desktop or other PC to Google Play.
Error 403 usually means that the server refuses your authentication, in other words: you do not have the credentials accepted by the server.
If using PC you'll have same error - that would mean that there is something wrong with the account.
Second, usually (it was same in case of ALL my android phones) - the Google Play was part of the ROM and was accessible as soon as I input the Google account settings. And definitely, installing the apps using the Google Play does NOT requires root, otherwise ALL android phones would be rooted as sold.
Hi,
I am also getting the same error and had done the same as the above including a factory reset. Still I am getting the same error. I can login to my account via pc but I cannot go to my google setting via my tablet's web browswer. I also realised my device is no longer listed in my google play under setting (via PC). Can someone shed some light to it?
I had the exact same problem on my I9502, and now all settled. Here's what I've done:
- Find app "Root Explorer" and install it.
- With RE, go to root/etc
- Delete the file "hosts" or simply change its name.
Then it should work!

I have had this problem for months now.
I too have been back and forth with google "support" via email, they are ****ing useless.
The issue is on THEIR end.
When I login to the play store on my computer, and I try and download an app, it throws and error immediately after clicking install - it has nothing to do with my device, the issue exists with my account on their end somewhere, but they refuse to acknowledge this and fix it, I really don't know what to do.

I have already tried all the exist idea...
Please can anyone help me fix this, the stock video app tells me unfortunately video has stopped anytime i try to open it. If i open a video from a file explorer or from quick pic it would work but for the past 2 days it doesnt even work at all even if i do it that way. Ive cleared the cache and even data but still no luck. I dont want to have to factory reset cos of that. Im using the s5 g900H rooted with xposed installed.
Any help would be duely appreciated. Thanks

When i ever i get that error its because the video is corrupt and it means its not fully downloaded or has problems.another reason can be that the video extension isnt supported by the video player just try another video player to open the video if that works then thats the reason why its not working in sammy video player. ?
The videos play in vlc and other media players but not on stock video player cos the stock video player does not open at all. When i try to open it i get the error message "unfortunately video has stopped".
hi
yesterday it worked for sure
today my mi-a1 asked me to restart due to system update
and now when i click on any link in the messages app it crashes
i also tried to open the messages through contacts+ app, clicking the links there also made it crash
i also updated the messages app to try and solve it, it didn't help
please check it on your phones
can you help?
1. Are You on stock, modified stock (rooted, magisk,...) or custom ROM?
2. Is it Your messaging app or web-browser that crashes?

don't know what it means, the one that comes with the phone as i bought it
2. Is it Your messaging app or web-browser that crashes?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its the messaging app that crashes not the browser, when i click on a link it doesn't get to the part when it opens the browser, it crashes b4 that part probably
just to be clear, like i get a text message from someone, i open the messages app and click on the text that is actually a link, then it crashes
Me and my friends have the same issue with the messages app and links clicking. Always getting an error message and the app getting crashed.
Is there any solution?
Yay, I'm not alone with this problem
Now maybe someone will look into it
My by pass solution is, you have to copy the entire text from that message cause you can't copy just the link, it will crash
So copy the entire message to a notes app
Then from it copy the link to a browser
Not fun at all, but it works…
I have the same problem. Not a rooted phone.
Please tell me if you have any solution.
Solved :cleared the data of the app
Settings- apps--data - clear data.
your'e a ****en genius!!!
it worked!!
i also noticed that this links problem happens in a couple of my apps on the phone, don't remember which right now
but when i'll see it i'll just go to clear its data :good:
