[Q] PlayStore not working after ROOT

Hello everyone,
I just unlocked and rooted my Nexus 4 using the Toolkit by mskip and noticed that I cannot download anything from the PlayStore.
At first I though the WIFI was broken, but I can surf the web so it's clearly an issue with the market.
I have then used the Toolkit by Wugfresh to bring the phone back to stock but the problem is still there: I cannot download anything from the market! The phone downloaded and installed the 4.2.1 fine but cannot download any of the 57 apps queued in the market.
Any ideas or suggestions? Thanks!

Have you tried clearing data? Are the downloads pending?
Go to Settings/Apps/All and clear data of Download Manager.
Try clearing data of the Play store if that doesn't help.

Thanks for the tip: I cleared the data of both Download Manager and Playstore but it doens't work.
I tried to sign out and back in too. Still no luck.
Unbelievable.

I doubt it has anything to do with root, but install the following gapps and in pretty sure your problem will be resolved.

I had a number of problems with the Play store, keyboard, and camera but after flashing these gapps, all is good.

Upon further investigation and trials, I currently find myself in this situation:
- Playstore works both with WIFI and GSM but can only download content via GSM (no Idea why!!)
- Everything else works fine over WIFI (and GSM).
So for whatever reason PlayStore let me browse the catalogue via WIFI but won't let me download/update anything unless I switch to GSM.

Are your time and date correct?
Sometimes that makes the play store not work

Also, in addition to the apps mention, also clear data for "Google Services Framework"
If that doesn't work try clearing your /cache partition, possibly even /data/dalvik-cache and reboot

Thanks but it didn't work.
I tried EVERYTHING. It doesn't make any sense. Also using the Toolkit I did an OEM LOCK. And it still doens't work.

Yes they are.

It turns out the problem is NOT the phone but something else: even my g/f's GS3 cannot download via WIFI from the PlayStore!!!
Kill me.

reboot your router, i have had this happen on sensation and gnex. it was an issue with my router. pull the plug for 30 seconds and let sync back up

I tried that already earlier but didn't work. Will give it another go.

any update? im stumped too! dam wifi is broken!!! now can't even do anything

I rooted using mskip's toolkit (with busybox but on stock recovery) and also had a wifi issue. I was already on the latest OTA (4.2.1) before doing anything and at that time the wifi was connecting just fine. After rooting, the wifi was not connecting to the same signal as it had been before. When it finally did connect, I was also unable to access the Play Store but could browse the internet just fine. I turned wifi off, restarted the phone, then used mobile data to update the Google system apps. After that, the Play Store was working with wifi connected. Wifi is still having trouble connecting to a "fair" strength signal where before it connected without an issue so unsure on that but Play Store at least is back when the wifi signal is strong. Hope this helps.

Nexus4 want work with my router running wddrt.. .trying to trouble shoot it
It connects strong signal but just want dload apps. Can't do speedtest. I can browse google playstore but won't dload apps atfer 10x cancel it might install app by shear luck.... my wifi works on other routers,places

I have pretty much the same problem!

I just realized mine isnt either. Stock Rom, Rooted, TWRP and just flashed franco M1 yesterday. Hmmmmm

Having this issue for months now. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Had gone through many forums and no solution yet. Counting days when I get back to England because I believe it has something to do with my ISP.

Just go to Settings-App search for "google search" and delete cache/data, you should be ready to go

Do you have anything like lucky patcher installed?

Google Play Store won't download apps

I have a T-mobile LG V20 and I have been trying to download apps and games and for some reason it only downloads when connected to WiFi, I tried everything, clean cache on app settings, uninstalled google play store and all and still nothing. I am in south america and I was using data with no problems until a couple of days ago that this problem started, I have international unlimited data so data is not the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Same issue for me. I have tried reboot, clearing cache, etc, etc apps will only update or install with wifi

Google play has a settings option to only download via Wi-Fi.

I hate to say this, have you tried booting into recovery and wiping and seeing if re-setting up your device works?

The Setting in Google Play is only for auto updating apps on WiFi. If I manually try to Install or Update an app and I am on mobile data...it just says Downloading forever.
I have not wanted to try and Reset yet.

Anyone find a solution to this? I'm in Sprint and been having this problem for a couple of weeks now.

I had this problem for a while. The only way I could get them to work was over wifi. I ended up doing a factory reset for other reasons, but it works now over LTE after that.

WIFI works on brower but can not use any apps or update apps on play store

this happened all of a sudden out of nowhere just over a week ago on my home wifi. there has been no updates to my broadband hub or anything like that
i've run out of ideas how
my once great phone is essentially a paper weight

Does the same WiFi network work on other devices? If yes, you might want to try to factory reset or if that doesn't work a fresh install via Odin!

Allright, that's too bad.. Have you tried other WiFi networks? If so, I can't think of any other reason but faulty hardware.

The issues is with the s7 and apps

Err weird. So the problem lies within some part of the phone that is unaffected when resetting or reflashing (odin)... No idea really, sorry. Hopefully someone else has a solution!

it even effects the samsung brower on certain pages, but not all.
it hates google apps and trying to load the google app store webpage.

and yes i have cleared cache on google apps and deleted my google account
