[Q] Anyone else having problems with Google play? - Nexus 7 General

Tonight, I updated plenty of my apps on my nexus7 and no problems.
Decided to try a few new apps now and every thing I try to download is showing as an error.
Anyone else having problems? I havent changed anything on my device and just wondered if its a market issue?
Thanks

Yes happened to me tonight too, Ive even tried deleting my account clearing data, cache in play store app, rebooting, uninstalling updates and zilch. Short of doing a factory reset im at a loss.

Yep. I have the same problem at the moment..

thanks folks, I tried all the same steps so its definitely a Google play store issue.
I tried my S2 as well and same problem.................................Google

This issue was solved on my wife's Nexus 7 by following the instructions on the Google Play Store help page:
Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Google Play Store app and the Download manager. Here's how:
Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
Tab over to "All"
Select the Google Play Store app, and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache;" then, select Download manager and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"
Start Google Play Store again.
Hope this helps.

Server issues?
I was having issues, so I just came back a couple hours later and everything worked again. Maybe something's going on with their servers??

Play store downloads have been super slow for me recently. Speed test shows 30Mbps but play store downloads are like 50Kbps.

Youtube app is unusable

Hi,
On my stock nexus s I have the youtube app installed by default but I can't find it anywhere to launch as just an app. On the market I see it as installed but I don't have the option to uninstall or even open the app.
What's the deal with this?
Thanks

- Go into Manage Apps --> All
- Google Partner Setup
- Clear Data
- Reboot
Upon reboot you should now see the Youtube app present. You should now be able to update in the market as well.
Awesome. +1 Thanks

I noticed the same issue, but I don't really use youtube so I wasn't even looking for a fix for it - however, since I happened upon this & it's a quick & easy fix I did it. So glad I did, because it also unlocks Google Earth & Google Books!
Thanks
It works. Thanks!!
Just wondering what is Google partner setup.

[Q] Updating apps and Google Play

I am having an issue/annoyance with updating apps through the new google play apk; it seems that since updating to the new apk, my apps no longer update simultaneously. Previously on the original android market, I could have multiple apps downloading/updating at the same time with no problem, however now that I have gone to Google Play, they will only download/update one at a time. Is there a way to fix this problem?
Thanks
You may want to try going to settings - applications, then looking for the Play Store app. Open its listing, and choose "clear data". Then go back and open the store again. It should correct itself and allow multi-updating.
r u into gruppen kex? Why do u need to simultaneously download apps? Give that single core CPU a rest!

In that same place, try uninstalling updates and letting google play pick up the updates again. That may help.

[Q] Android Market -> Google Play

Erm... Are we supposed to have Google Play yet? I mean literally everybody I know with an Android device has had their Market auto-updated to Google Play, but not on my tablet... The tablet shows up in the Google Play compatibility list too. Have any of you got the Google Play update? Have I missed something? Or has it just not shown up yet?

Have you tried clearing Market cache and data? If you have the button "Uninstall updates" then click this also. Then open Market, accept the terms and close it again. This should force it to update.

Works for me, BTA it can be restricted depending on your country. Here it goes:
Updating the Android Market Icon to Google Play
20 Mar, 2012
PLEASE NOTE: This News & Alert is specific to our mobile and tablet products with the ANDROID operating system. So the following may not be specific to your product (e.g. Series 7 SLATE PC - XE700T1A operating system is Windows 7).
Instructions for upgrading to the Google Play application (apps, games, movies and books).
1. Select (tap) the 'Android Market' icon.
2. Read the pop-up 'Terms & Conditions' menu notifying the end-user of the upgrade to 'Google Play', and select 'Accept'.
3. At this point the icon should update and say 'Play'.
4. When the 'Google Play' menu appears, select (tap) 'Continue'.
5. There will be a name change at the top of the screen, when inside the market app, but the layout will essentially be the same.
Note
Due to a small data download requirement, this change may take some time depending on the end-user's data connection.
For the fastest update we recommend using HSPA+ or WI-FI.
6. Move back to the home (main or idle) screen, and select (tap) 'Applications'.
Note
a). If the handset is rebooted then the 'Android Market' app icon will have been removed.
After this select (tap) 'Applications'.
Then replace the Android market shortcut with the 'Play Store' icon.
(This can be done by dragging the icon to the home or main screen from the applications menu).
b). If the handset device is not rebooted after updating the play application then the icon will need to be removed manually from the home screen and replaced with the new Play shop icon.
Navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Please note
On the Galaxy Nexus devices the homescreen shortcut will automatically be removed.
Therefore the end-user will need to navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Important
If after the above procedure is performed, the 'Market' icon is not replaced after some time with the 'Play Shop' icon, then the end-user will need to perform all of the following steps as outlined below.
Move to 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and check that either of the icons appear in the list as shown. Then:
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear data'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear cache'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Select (tap) 'Uninstall updates'.

Might uninstall updates and let it update officially to keep it all consistent then...

My tab just updated yesterday to Play as well.
Do things look squeezed in to anyone else? The app tiles in the main part, and my installed apps and information columns don't take up the whole screen. The toolbar at the top and the green stripe do though, so it doesn't seem to be a malfunction.
The tight quarters make things feel squished. Plus, I find it much slower than the Market already.
buggy play store
I was forced to take the upgrade today. Now I can't scroll thru installed apps. I have to update them one at a time even if I don't want them. Am using a rooted i957. Anyone else having this problem? Solutions?

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded "cache clear" and ran it but still no scrolling. I really don't want to keep updating the bloatware but it looks like I'm being forced to. I know people are working on a rom for the i957. Hope they come up with something.
the playstore looks really nice. But i think the old market was a bit quicker.. or not?

Is my Nexus 7 defective?

So I downloaded a movie on my phone from the play store today. I checked the playstore website on my computer and it shows the movie as downloaded there as well. The problem is it won't show up as downloaded on my Nexus 7. It keeps giving me the option to download it, but when I try to download it, at least 6 times now it gets hung at some random point in the download. Finally a red exclamation point pops up and tells me the movie could not be downloaded.
I have checked my internet connection, but that is not the problem. I ultimately just want to have the movie downloaded on my device so I can view it without an internet connection. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I almost forgot, I have already tried clearing cache and data within the play store app.

That would have been my suggestion. Hope you get it figured out though!
Go to apps and go to all and go to Google frame work and clear it out and force stop it then clear data out of market and try again

Apps Not Showing

I tried searching because I thought I'd seen the answer to my problem before but I came up empty so I apologize if this has been asked and I missed it.
I did a data wipe on my phone today to see if it'd clear up some issues I was having. After the wipe non of my apps from the play store are showing up, regardless of free or purchased, the only thing that comes up is the preloaded apps.
What's the trick to get the play store to refresh and load my apps?
I tried to restore the backup I made before the wipe but it fails to reload.
Wiping data will remove your downloaded apps. Open the Play Market, hit menu, "my apps" and you'll see a list of everything you currently have downloaded/installed. Swipe over and you'll find the list of everything you've purchased and downloaded recently (free or not).

Thanks, I didn't realize it did that.
I thought there was a way to get it to reload most of the apps automatically but this will have to do.
I appreciate the help.
