Hi guys, i'm currently using a Motorolla Droid X on 2.3.4. It has been working fine, just out of no where i go to download an app and i get an error "(App name)" could not be downloaded due to an error. (Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]
I'm going crazy here, the only way to download an app would be to go to the play store from a computer and send it to install to my phone. I tried uninstalling updates for the play store, making it the market again. I can download apps fine from the market, its when i close the play store it automatically updates it to play store. I also tried clearing cache and data with no luck. However, i cannot remove my Google account, it says that some applications require my Google account, and that I can only remove it by factory resetting my phone. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Just got off the phone with Google play support. They said that today they rolled out a new play store update and many people have been calling up because their play store wasn't working. They're working on the issue and should have a fix within 24 hours i was told. The representative i spoke to was very generous and kind, he had complete knowledge of the issue and did NOT seem like he did NOT know what he was doing. I was very satisfied afterwards. So your not alone if you are having the same issues, it should be fixed within 24 hours.

This is what happens when you get apps from a pirate store. Why did you download it from there in the first place? It already comes installed on your device.
I second Heisenberg's concern about getting apps from a pirate store, and doing system apps is just silly.
You need to fully reset your device and start again. Either use factory reset or flash a factory image via fastboot. Heisenberg has a full guide to all guides. Do that and stop using pirate sites!
I'm running OCT-M 6.0.1. Every time google apps try to access location services, I get play services crashing. This does not happen with non-google apps such as waze or GPS Test.
I've tried reinstalling play services to the latest, reinstalled google maps, and cleared data for services and framework (backed up beforehand of course).
Does anyone know what could be causing this? I'm unsure where to find a crash log.
Just in case anyone's curious, I managed to figure it out myself. Disabling and re-enabling play services through privacy guard (OCT-M is based on CM13) fixed it. GPS now works and I no longer get any play service crashes.
Hi guys, I've been playing with Lucky Patcher lately, to be exact, I wanted to remove Google Ads. Unlucky enough, it won't let me connect to Google Play anymore. I tried forcing stop on Google Play Store and wiping cache, factory reset many times but nothing works. Please help!
EDIT: I can't even add any google account because it says: "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later"
Use AdAway instead. Root necessary.
Got a new Fire HD 10 recently, got all the Google APKs installed, play store running, every app except Chrome is accessing my Google account. When I try to log in to Chrome, I get the "Account already exists on this device" error. I've tried clearing cache and data for all Google Apps, uninstalling / reinstalling chrome. Any ideas to get sync working in Chrome?

Try to factory reset, bypass Amazon registration and re-install all Google API Service APK.
NOTE: If your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account. You need to deregister and factory reset again to use Google account.
Do not register your Fire tablet with Amazon account.

Can you install Google Contacts Sync.
You Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account that causing an issues?
Same issue
Having the same issue, got the tablet today and installed google play and am getting the account has been added message.
For users having account already on this device just wait a few hours and keep trying. This is what seems to be happening for most, including myself.

This isn’t working for me. I installed all last night. I left the device on overnight. Alexa auto updated through Google Play Store, but I still get “the account already exists on your device” when trying to log into Chrome.
I have not registered with Amazon on the device and all system updates have been blocked (no OTA). I also debloated with Amazon Toolbox.
Anyone else figure out the why and how for the can’t log into Chrome issue here?
Thx!
I had the problem,the thing that seemed too work for me is sign in to your Google account on the built in Email client,then you can sign in to Chrome.

Try to disable any Amazon's bloatware like Amazon Appstore, Silk Browser, Amazon's Email app, DCP Platform Contracts app from ADB or Fire toolbox from @Datastream33. IMPORTANT: You need to install any web browser from Google Llay like Firefox or Google Chrome before doing this to disable Silk Browser.
Have you tried messing with Chrome's permissions?
I've had issues in the past until I manually went into the settings, and enabled google account + some other permissions for Chrome, and then restarted. Sometimes it just takes time for whatever reason.
For anyone having this issue, try to upgrade your "google play services" and reboot. You may be prompted to the upgrade page when you open "play games" app (other side loaded google apps might also do the trick).
Adding my Gmail account to the built in Email app fixed my problem too. Whoop! Thank you.
F***ing Amazon and Google ought to just figure out that most people use both of their services and allow Play Store and Chrome to reside side by side with Silk and Alexa (which I don't want to use, just like I don't use Microsoft Cortana, or Siri on my iPad).
In case someone else encounters this: it was the permissions for me. Enabled contact permissions for chrome and it worked.
Let's revive this thread... I recently purchased an HD10. I added the Google Play store, downloaded several apps not currently available in the Amazon app store, so it is definitely working.
For some reason chrome just won't run... it won't even give me the option to open it once it installs.
Any ideas what to do?
