Google play can't open store home - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been trying to remove country restrictions and I have found a way. I started a vpn and created a google account. When I use that account on google play I can see some apps that were not available in my country. But the problem is instead of "Store Home" section google play starts at shop apps section and I can not see home section, it just redirects me to shop apps section. Not all apps are visible and if I switch back to my original account everything is back to normal except that I can not get any restricted apps. I did not moded play I use maclaws cyanogen mod. I've tried deleting cache, uninstalling and even installing google play apk that I found on the internet. I also rebooted my phone. Can you think of a solution becouse I'm out of ideas!

At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future.

[Q] [Google Edition][4.3] Phone not showing up in Play Store My Devices

I converted my HTC One from stock to the Google Edition 4.3, completely (CID, firmware, ROM). Everything on the phone works fine including the Play Store 4.3.10 and the Google services framework.
However in the My Devices section of the Play Store on the web my phone does not show up - just the previous installed one, which has not been seen online for a week or so.
The curious thing is: when going to the Android Device Manager the phone shows up correctly (the old one, and the new install).
I tried the following to resolve this:
Clear data of Google Play, Google Service Framework and Download management
Change my Android ID
Downgrade the Play Store and framework
Change the kernel from default to faux123
Remove and re-add my Google account
Try with different Google accounts
If someone has more suggestions I'd really appreciate it.
Being able to see my device in the Play Store in my browser enables me to push apps to the phone. Additionally, I can join communities in Google+ to enable beta channels of some apps.

I believe these steps should fix the issue:
- Go to Apps, All and Force stop and delete cache of Google Play, Downloads and Google Services Framework
- Delete your Google account, reboot your phone, add it again
- Open the Play Store
- Reboot again
Note that clearing data of the Google Services Framework is normally not recommended but in this case it's already broken so you have to fix it.

[Q] What do I need running for Google Play?

I attempted to download an application from the google play site via my PC. I had to use google because the application is not on the Amazon store but have I used google play once before and it worked OK.
Having ordered the app and got confirmation I was surprised that the download did not appear on my phone.
I tried running google play store on the phone and it gave an error message that said it cannot connect.
I stopped the play store and google play services applications, cleared the data etc and tried again, even went back to system application by clearing updates but still not working.
Now the play application just starts and immediately stops when I tap it.
I have as much as possible of the toy applications disabled because I use this phone for business and I wonder if at some time over the past weeks I have disabled an application that the google play store application needs?
Other than google play store and google play services are there any other apps that should be running?
I have google play store running 1 process and 1 service and google play services running 2 processes and 2 services.
Amazon appstore works OK
Regards
Please ignore this, turns out I had logged out of googlemail and this stops playstore.
Cannot find a way to delete this post so can only edit

Google play store apps download problem (error code : 497)

I am on android MRA58K and my google play store stopped working for most of the applications including google apps when I am on wifi (works on cellular ). I have removed and re-added my google account. Did not work. Then factory reset the device and no use. And now I can not update most of the application. Cleared cache for google services and play store app as well with no success. Some people suggested changing the DNS to google DNS on the router might work. In my case that did not work. Help is appreciated.
Note: I am on unmodified stock.
Go into settings apps, clear data for Google play store, Google play services and Google services framework. Reboot phone. See if that works.

What he said
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Miraculously everything started working normally this morning without me doing anything. GPS can download and update all the apps as it was doing before. None of the suggested remedies did in the forums did not work yesterday and today everything came back to normal. I guess it is something outside my phone caused this problem. Any thoughts on this are welcome.

Need help setting up 2nd profile

I could use some help setting up a secondary user profile for my tablet.
I recently bought the $50 Fire tablet. I immediately used RootJunky's batch files to install the Play Store, remove lock screen ads, disable OTA updates, root, and replace the stock launcher. I then logged into my Amazon account to set up the main user profile. I removed a bunch of Amazon bloat and the tablet is working perfectly as a proper Android tablet.
I ran into trouble, however, when I tried to set up a second user profile for my wife. She logged in using her Amazon credentials and went through the standard set up processes. After finishing all that, the lock screen showed up, she swiped up, and nothing. No launcher or anything. Just the home screen wallpaper.
While logged into her profile, I tried re-running RootJunky's Play Store install batch file. I got errors, though, telling me all of those files were already installed on the device.
Navigating through the settings, I managed to get into the Amazon app store and install OneDrive. From there I was able to install some APKs. I managed to install Nova Launcher so she has a working launcher. I also installed the Play Store. The Play Store, however, wouldn't open. It just flashed a white screen and then shut down. After installing the Google Login Service it now prompts to enter Google credentials to log in. After doing so, however, it says it couldn't connect to Google's servers. I am unable to install either the Google Play Services APK or the Google Services Framework APK. After not being able to install them from OneDrive, I downloaded them to internal storage and they wouldn't install from there, either.
I have confirmed that she has root access. I have Root Browser installed to her profile and can access the entire device storage.
Can anyone help me out? Something tells me there's a simple solution here, since the device is rooted and all of the programs/services necessary for logging into a Google account are already installed on the device. Would locating the necessary files and copying them to system work?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I think you should re-enable temporarily the stock launcher, that might be your problem. Then, you can set up another launcher and re-hide the stock one.

Thanks for the response.
The launcher isn't the problem. I managed to get Nova Launcher installed on the secondary profile, so I do currently have a working launcher.
The problem is that I can't get logged into a Google account, therefore I can't get into the Google Play Store. That's the problem I'm trying to solve. And as I mentioned originally, the Play Store and other Google apps are working just fine on the primary user profile.
If anyone has any ideas I'd love to hear them. Thanks.
