I live in Malaysia and had google now since it's launch. Today, however, I noticed the widget says it's not available in my country. So I checked with my friends and they still have it. I haven't changed any location settings intentionally. My google now just reverted back to old google search.
Any idea what might have caused it?
I've done the following to solve the problem but to no avail:
1. Clear google search cache and data
2. Uninstall google seach updates
3. Remove velvet.apk
4. Reinstall google search updates back
5. Restart phone
6. Check and toggle sync settings
Nothing seems to do the trick. I checked with google dashboard, and it says last active on 2nd July whereas I've never stopped using the phone.
ROM: I9300XXEME2 (4.1.2)
Kernel: Perseus (latest)
Any advice to get me out of this situation?
Thanks in advance!

Completely crossed my mind man. Sorry about this. Would a mod be kind enough to shift it to the Q&A thread? Thanks
Google Now (FIXED)

Hi ,
I had this problem too and there was only one way I could fix it.
Install Google Search v2.6 and update it later if you want.
Cheers.
I had the same issue..what i did was;
1. uninstall google search using titanium backup
2. restart phone
3. reinstall via google play store,
(note important to backup google search using titanium backup before flashing/ updating roms. restoring application data will usually fix the google now unavailable problem)
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!!!!!
Thanks.

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.

pleeeeease help
any one? im stuck ppl please
I just installed the following apk's:
Googleplayservices
Googleplaystore
Googleframework
Googleloginservice
Kinda sounds like a regional issue.
You need to go to mi-assistant and set Google play services as auto-run on. I also downloaded all the google apps available to get it to work...
After I turned auto-run on for mi assistant I did a restart and when I tried to log into google/play store it asked for my log in details.
Hope this helps...

No, in Australia my bank app works...
If you have another rooted device you might be able to copy and send the apk file to the Axon 7 and side load it though you will need to tick the install third party app option in security settings...
In lollipop you go to root directory and then data then apps to find most apk files....
Hi can anyone help please. I have a Chinese head unit that keeps crashing when I try to log into google or the App Store. Wonder if it is better to reflash it and upgrade the os. I can’t find out what make or model it is. Thanks
Of course! The only solution is to update.
And have you tried clearing memory and app data first, uninstalling play store and google service updates or restoring factory settings?
Reveal what you've done so far.

Download the latest version for android 8.1 manually from apkmirror store and google services. Allow installation in settings and install services first, then store.

Can you log in through your web browser?
Google suggests changing the login mode from time to time. Have you set any special account security mode on your account?
What country are you logging in from?
Try logging into your other google account.
