Google Play Store Force Closes

Just when you think you have this cursed tablet at least stable, something else happens. So the Google Market app decided to update itself to the Google Play Store. Now it force closes every time it's opened. Anyone getting the same (not getting the same?)? Any solutions? I tried manually side-installing another copy of the Play Store that I found online, but that made no difference.

I was able to fix this. I went into the Application Settings and cleared the data for the Google Play Store app. I then pressed the button to force stop the Google Play Store app, which I think caused the whole launcher to close and restart. After that, opening Google Play Store brought the "update" message and license agreement again without force closes. It's been running okay so far.

I was having the same issue with my store after attempting to rent a movie. Play Store and Play movies would FC every time. The clearing data trick didn't work. I had to to restore with a CWR backup.

try wiping 3 times. I have not had one problem since.

Found this on a less traveled site: This did the trick for me.
I had this problem and called Google Support. They were very helpful. What I had done is disabled the Download Manager when trying to get rid of the Facebook download notification. Go into Settings...Appplication manager. ..All...then find and click on Download Manager.
**Note: that if it is disabled it will be at the very bottom of the list of apps. Once you click on Download Manager you can click to enable it again. This worked for my problem at least so I'm posting hoping it may help others.

Google play services Crashing Repeatedly

Has anyone experienced Google play services stopping unexpectedly and crashing repeatedly since Google pushed the new update for it on 01/16/2014? My Google play services keeps crashing and from what I read in the reviews on the Play Store for the "app," it seems to be doing the same thing for a lot of other users. I have already tried wiping cache and even factory resetting my phone, but it does not fix the problem. Uninstalling updates for the app on the phone immediately generates a message from Hangouts, stating that the newest version is required. Anyone care to comment or let me know of a workaround for this? I am wondering if Google will release a fixed update soon again or if maybe waiting until KitKat will make it more compatible? Thanks!

Try clearing data for the app itself, in the "App info" area.

FYI the new version 4.2.42 of Google Play Services fixed all crashing issues. The issues were only with v4.1.

Does anyone experience constant crashes with Play Services 6.1.74..6.1.83? Do they happen without Google+ installed on the device?

How to unlock bootloader on 183.46.15?

Play store apps reamain on 100% downloaded but don't install

I have a problem with play store: if i download an app from it, it remains stuck at 100% downloaded but it doesn't install... it needs sometimes even 3 or 4 minutes to start installation. Same thing for uninstall... I have just tried to clear play store memory (cache + memory) and play services memory but it doesn't help...

Seems i have found the problem... i have uninstalled and re installed nova launcher and now it seems to work perfectly... i think that's something related to "add shortcuts in home pages" in play store settings...

It already happened to me on my former phone. But I solved the problem by rebooting the phone

Problems persist... i've done a factory reset but nothing: sometimes it's impossible to install/uninstall applications from Play Store, the progress bar of download stuck at 100% but the app won't install... sometimes it needs some minutes, sometimes it's just instantly... it's something play store server related? If i try to uninstall app from touchwiz it's simply instantly even if however, if go to app list in play store, the app i've just uninstalled is still present in the apps list... .
I noticed that sometimes even the manual update of phone firmware doesn't work and the "checking update page" appears sometimes instantly ans sometimes after some minutes...

Same problems here. Noticed the same when requesting system update for the gear s3 from the phone. Also happening on my tab s3...

Have you tried to update Google play services? And play store to the latest version. Do both of these then boot to recovery and wipe cache and reboot.

Fingers crossed

Some apps have permissions to draw over screen and we need to disable this permission for apps to install correctly. I had a similar issue on my previous phone where the apps were stuck at 99% installation and then just dropped off. I had to literally disable 'Screen overlay' for almost each app for play store to install correctly.
Also, If you are able to sideload apks without any issues then it may be a play store related issue.

Hiya.
I have the same issue, and have for around 1 week now. Only with PlayStore, sideloading works fine

Has someone found a solution for this? I have noticed that sometimes it installs apps without any problems and sometimes remains stuck also for minutes! I can't realize what causes these slow down... maybe is something related to play store servers?

I have the same problem with 100% download and no install afterwards.
But at the same time I noticed two other problems:
- Badge Notification is not working - I don't see the "badge" on app's icon, when I receive messages.
- boon payment app is not working; when I touch screen to activate payment process (NFC chip), it supposed to countdown 60 s, but nothing happens.
I don't know if this is part of same problem. However I've tried - without success:
- reboot phone
- clear data/cache Google Play Store
- clear data/cache Google Play Services
- clear data Badge Provider
- clear data/cache TouchWiz
- reboot to recovery and clear cache
I think there is some process that should be reset (clear)... Any other suggestions? I'd try factory restore as very, very, very last option.

I've tried factory reset (2 times), but didn't help...

Having same issue with S8 and Tab S3. Also notifications are delayed for random amount of time. Some lag and connection timeouts with different applications, not all though.
Tried factory reset couple times, it fixed the problems for a while but after 1-2 hours they came back. Checked with safe mode if some 3rd party app is causing this. Issues remained in safe mode too.
Got it to work for now by clearing cache and data from Google Framework Services and Google Play Store. Lastly removed and re-added my Google account, rebooted device and wiped cache partition.
Notifications are now on time, Play store starts install instantly.
Still afraid that this is only a temporary fix, waiting to see if these problems arise again after few hours of usage.
Seems there is an issue with Google services on some Samsung devices, mainly running Nougat 7.0

Did you tried to reconnect your Google account?

Ive removed it turn off and on the device and logged in again

Similar thing happened to me today. I uninstalled Google Play Store updates in the app manager to get my list of installed apps to show again. Then I had to reboot my phone once to keep any detached apps from accidentally updating in the Play Store (YouTube). After finally updating Play Store, I haven't had any issues so far.

Play Store Crashing

Does anyone have an issue regarding that the Play Store keeps crashing after a few seconds, doesn't matter what you're doing. I've tried anything that I know off, like updating,uninstalling updates, play services updating or uninstalling updates, download manager cache clearing and more stuff. I don't want to factory reset my phone.
If anybody has an idea, please help, I'm getting really annoyed now at these terrible experiences with Google apps.

Do you have themed this app? If you have themed with Swift installer and play Store has been updated then you have also update the theme. Otherwise play store will crash.

No I haven't, but it fixed itself. Funny when you have this problem for 2 weeks but when you post it on a forum its magically fixed.
