Hey all, I will keep it simple!
I rooted the phone, got rid of the google stuff (oops) and the market stopped working.
Re-downloaded the google stuff (talk, provider and service) ad used the SDK to put back on the phone.
the market is still not working and google talk wont open.
I have the San Francisco (blade) 2.1.
Many thanks
Or if anyone knows how to flash it to the way it was (not the factory reset) that would be cool also

Hi guys
Did anyone update their google maps recently? my phone pushed through a message saying there is a new google map available so i was like "Why not". Now that i did, google maps wont load at all, its just stuck at loading (Though for the first second there is packets sent and received on the 3G network)
I have tried uninstalling the update (But maps still wouldn't work) and re-installing the update (But it still wouldn't work). Does anyone know what to do?
Many thanks ahead if you do know the answer cause maps is one of my commonly used app to navigate around.
Mine loads perfectly fine, even after the recent update... no idea what could be the problem with yours
hi!

and for my enoinng problem:
i downloded apps from Amazon AppStore, and after i run Market Doctor, i have thous apps on the android market app list... i tried to do them detach from market on titanium backup, but they come back after a reboot...

Same thing has happened to me.
I've contacted Google, they have no clue what to do. They said they'd get back to me once they have more info over a week ago.
its so annoing!!
Not sure if this is the right place to post or not.
I just purcahsed a new Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. Set it up and noticed the Android Market Icon was still there??? Went to download some apps and it prompted me to download Playstore. After Playstore was downloaded imediatly started freezing up and forcing close. Uninstalled, re-booted, reinstalled again and same problem. Unistalled, did master reset, did another initial set-up, went to Playstore and same problem. Wasted an hour of my life on the phone with T-mobile customer care and tech support then wasted another 35 minutes with Samsung tech support with no positive outcome. So this moring I turn to the internet and the real experts. Doing a quick google search I see that in the past week or two there have been a huge influx of Playstore complaints that sound similar to mine and it appears they are not device or carrier specific. Has Google come out an said there is a problem? Anyone else on here having any issues? FYI, I did confirm that I am running the most recent updates.
I checked and I do have the most recent system update on my device. I am not a "geek" but have been using Android devices since before they were availabel to the public and this Samsung is my 6th Android device so I am not a newb, that being said I am ready to throw my new Tab through a wall because I can usually work my way through glitches and get them corrected on my own. I was using a crappy old Viewsonic G-Pad before this, I thought I was upgrading but thet old rooted G-Pad is far better than this garbage.
Thanks in advance.
so are you saying you are on android version 4.0.4? that version should have come with the "play store".
I haven't had any issues myself, but you can try going into settings-applications, and then select the market/play store and clear data and cache. You can also uninstall updates if it still acts up.

Yes, it is version 4.0.4 yet it has an Android Market icon not a play store icon, I was very suprised when I saw that icon, I have not seen it in months on my other devices, i thought it was a thing of the past. Once I go into android market and try to install an app it then tells me I need to upgrade to Play Store, I click continue, download play store and that is when all hell breaks lose. Once I unistall the Play Store update it runs fine until I try to download another app through the market.
Not sure if this could help, but have you tried, instead of the factory reset, clearing data on Play Store and Google Services Framework, restarting and trying again? Ran into some Play Store trouble this past week and this seemed to solve it
I am having the same problem. I just got this 10.1 t-mobile tablet. I can't do anything because it is constantly popping up saying play store has stopped unexpectedly. I have uninstalled the update, cleared the data and cache. Nothing is working. I am essentially dead in the water as this pops every 30 seconds.
Saw the same problem on my friend tab
My only solution was to root and put cm9 on it. Works great now.

Hi all, First of all I have CM10.1 20130210 on my phone. (Had 20130208 when I noticed the problem, But I dont think thats the cause)
I normally check for CM updates & Play Store every night. Yesterday I wanted to check the Play Store but when I opened it it took me straight to the Categories page (It normally takes me to some "General Featured" page).
When I go into any of the categories it takes me to more categories into that one (Games>Racing/Action/Puzzle/etc) it didnt do that before.
After I go into one of those its just a grey screen, The store is blank.
I tried going into My Apps & Its blank. If I go into the All tab though they all show, Clicking on one of those apps does take me to its page & If I try to download a previously uninstalled app it does download and work properly.
Something very weird: The same thing happens in the Webstore, No app shows when going into Editor's Choice & When manually going into the categories its just blank. Going into app pages via my own apps do work.
Ive tried clearing the data of the Play Store (Settings>Apps>All>Google Play Store>Clear Data)
Ive tried reflashing my phone (Thats why I went from 20130208 to 20130210)
Ive tried Force Stopping, Clearing data & Rebooting
Ive tried unsyncing & Resyncing my Google Account
Ive tried uninstalling & Reinstalling Gapps (goo.im/gapps)
Any ideas on how I can fix this? I ran out of ideas myself...
Some screens of what happens, the one with the categories is what the store opens to, the other one is what happens if i go anywhere else.
Ive been trying to fix this all day & Most things Ive found seem to be fixed by wiping the cache or returning the DPI to its default state.
Thing is, I already tried option 1 & I never changed the DPI on my phone. (I dont even know how to do it)
Just tried changing the DPI & Nothing...
I installed Best Apps Market on my phone (Had to google it & Make it directly lead me to the Play Store page coz the Play Store doesnt work)
Basically you can browse apps through there & When you want to dowmload it takes you to the Play Store (Native app) page.
It did work & Display apps properly but they all said that they werent available in my country. I tried a VPN on my PC & Bam, Play Store works.
That seems to be the problem, Somehow my country got messed up but I cant seem to change it. I did manage to change it on Google Account>Settings>Email Edit>Country but that did nothing. Any help?
Did you get any help on this? did you resolve this problem ? i have the save the same problem. did the same things you did, but no solution

Nope, But I am 100% sure that it has to do with country settings.
I tried 1 last thing today: Completely wiping EVERYTHING off my phone & Reinstalling everything. Nothing.
I also noticed a few "Market Unlocker/Enabler stopped working!" threads these past 3 days, So basically Google did something.
I contacted support & This is an email I got yesterday:
Thanks for this valuable information. We really appreciate it, and it's because of people like you that we can improve the Google Play experience for all users.
We are currently aware of this problem with Android apps on Google Play and are trying to resolve it. This complex issue involves several areas of the Google Play Store app and is not an easy fix, so I don’t have a good estimate on how long it will take us to resolve it. As soon as I have any updates, I’ll be the first to let you know.
I really appreciate you taking the time to let us know about the details of your specific case; each time we hear more details, it helps us make a better solution. I hope that despite this, you will keep using the Google Play Store app and keep sending us valuable feedback when things don’t go as expected.

So yeah, Nothing you or I can do about it.
What Imma do next is install a 3rd party app market that doesnt use the Play Store at all (Anybody got any recommendations?)
I have the same issue, when i first start play store it opens categories and then blank page...
the only way i can download apps from play store is from my pc.
I tried all of the above "tips" but got no solution.

Uhmm, That seems more like a phone related problem than anything else. You sure you tried all the things possible? (Even completely reinstalling everything?)

On which Email id you contacted Google ??
I generally despise the Amazon app store, but I caught a few free apps there that I didn't want to pay for on Google. Had 'em all on my Note 4, but absolutely nothing from Amazon will install on the V20.
I've cleared cache/data, restarted, I don't have any Amazon pre-installed bloat disabled, I'm on Verizon so I'm not rooted or anything, I switched to the stock launcher... I haven't done a factory reset, but I've tried everything short of that I could think of and nothing is working... It'll download apps but stay stuck at "Installing..." forever.
I called Amazon customer service and they were worthless, they had me try everything I'd already tried then washed their hands of me and told me to contact LG...
Anybody else seen this problem or know of a fix?

More than likely it's a compatibility issue w/Android 7.0+>,hard to say for sure,not knowing which exact apps you're trying to install.
Typically,Amazon versions of apps are slow to be updated as it is,so,you have a couple of things to look at.
My amazon underground app took a few tries. Pretty sure at one point it was struck on installing and I just backed out of it and it was finished even though it acted like it wasn't.
I have Amazon underground (shopping app) word twist (game) and Amazon music but that's all from Amazon I think.
It's not that the apps themselves won't work, it's that Amazon won't actually install them. In particular I was trying to install Plex, but I've tried a good dozen or so. General stuff, like Yahoo mail and Spotify - everything hangs at installing.
I think something must be hosed with my Amazon app, I just don't know what...

I just installed PLEX w/no issues,T-Mobile version (H918).
Do you have the UNKNOWN SOURCES enabled in Settings > Security?
I'd check the app permissions,make sure they're enabled.
Also clear the store app cache/force stop & try again.
If that fails,delete all the store app data,sign-in anew & try yet again.
If none of that works,perhaps try an older version of the Amazon Appstore .apk:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/amazon-mobile-llc/appstore/
Huh, I'll be... I don't know what happened with this, but I managed to get Plex installed just now...
I was poking around in my file manager and the Android/data/com.amazon.mShop.android folder had an apk in it, "update-154-1479665130487.apk" - turns out that was Plex. It wouldn't install from there because of a media scan. I moved it to my SD card and it installed straight away.
So yay, resolved-ish. Thanks for your input everybody!
I couldn't get video to download. Same issue stuck on installing. Finally just downloaded an apk and called it good
It took two tries to download Amazon video. It got stuck at the download part after I went through all those steps Google make you go through to keep people from using Amazon apps. But worth the effort since you can download certain movies and series with your Prime membership. Saved me on a United flight that surprised many by charging just to watch TV!! I don't think one person paid for it. I also have a YouTube Red subscription but hadn't gotten around to reloading all the content onto my new 256 GB Samsung Plus sd card.
