[Q] Problem with Galaxy SIII - General Questions and Answers

Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII GT-19300 8GB running on Anroid 4.3, rooted and custom ROM Manager installed. Recently all Google Play services have stopped working. I literally can't do anything. I can' t log in, can't use Youtube, can't open the Play store because it gives me the No connection- retry error, of course. I heard it was because of Freedom. I deleted the app and tried to re-install it... but I cannot even install apk files; not any kind of apk file. I tried to force-install it with an android terminal, but that doesn't work either. Aptoide also does not want to install anything. I basically deleted the cache for every google app & I uninstalled all updates; but all in vain. Nothing seems to work except for Whatsapp and the actual internet browser. Please help me, I really need my phone to work properly.
Thanks in advance, any kind of help is appreciated

Reflash Stock ROM via Odin (you wont lost anything on internal storage) or try flash any gapps for 4.x.x via custom recovery.

Download your stock ROM. Put it in your pc and then flash it using Odin.
U may also need to flash gapps using your custom recovery.

Ok. You have got the answer in this thread
But before that just try to do a factory data reset
If you have some important data, take a nandroid backup
And then do a factory data reset
And I may be a foolish in this but I am considering it because everything may be possible here, enable the background data if it is disable

Well, okay, I guess that's my only option, I have reflashed the Stock ROM and that hasn't fixed my problem either. Factory data reset it will be. I'll come back to you whenever I have done the data reset. I really hope this'll fix the problem, because I don't want to do a factory data reset at all. :/

samsung galaxy ace plus google apps not working

hi guys!!
I rooted my 2 months old Samsung galaxy ace plus.
After that i installed Titanium backup and started uninstalling after keeping the backup of many google apps from the systemapp list that was useless for me.but after that My google play stopped working.
I tried to restore those apps but titanium backup hangs up everytime.
I tried many stupid things of which i wasn't aware and bricked my phone but somehow managed to get it back by flashing the corrupted rom by googling.
But now I want my phone to be new as . most importantly the google apps and google play.

I had this issue with my SGS+ and solution for me was to flash another ROM. I searched the app in the Play Store and seems that app was "incompatible" with my device. This has someting to do with the rom itself.
I would try wiping play store data and cache and see if this works.
If not, wipe cache and dalvik-cache could help.
But if you really want your phone as new, I think you should flash stock rom for it.
Anyway, good luck!

Samsung Galaxy Ace fora are here.
Well I foolishly uninstalled the google download manager 2.3.6, downloads and google plus and now tit backup is hanging up during restoring.
and after that my google play, gmaill and other google apps stopped working.
If i install cynogenmod, ics or any other ROM.
could this problem be solved?
:silly:
You can search for 2.3.6 google apps and install them from recovery or even geting the .apk files.
Sorry I cant help you here because I have ICS custom rom.

[Q] Deleted 'google store' app - OOOPS!

Somehow I've managed to completely delete the google store app off my sony niro, with ICS. This means that i cant upgrade or install any apps from that site! Vodafone, my provider, have suggested that I back everything up and then do a factory reset which will nuke everything on the phone and leaving me to re-install everything afterwards. Ouch!
Can anyone suggest how i can get it back without doing the factory reset please? I cant install their 'PC Companion' software to do it with as I'm using Debian 7.
Thanks
Sharon.
Are you rooted with a custom recovery? Do you have a copy in Titanium Backup?
If not, rooting and either flashing it or pushing it somehow might work. I'm thinking like how you'd flash GAPPs normally with a new ROM.
I'm not sure about specifics for your phone, though.

Right, new google store app downloaded and installed, rebooted, cleared cache and all stored data and run it. It shows that i have 12+ updates to get, so i start downloading them and it crashes! Just says that 'google store has stopped'! Try again and the same thing happens, so I'll let it fully charge and take it off the charge cord and try again.
But its looking hopeful, thanks.
Sharon.
Full charge now done so I've had a chance to play with it. With all cache and data deleted, it still crashes before you get the little checkbox asking you to agree to googles term and conditions. It doesn't show in 'titanium backup' under 'google store' or 'play store', and neither does it show in 'ROM Toolbox Pro' of downloaded apps, installed apps, or backupped apps. Its as if it doesn't exist!
I'm now at a loss as to what to do next, any ideas please?
Hopefully thanks
Sharon.
If you are on a custom ROM, you could try flashing the applicable Gapps package, as stated above....if not then I'm thinking the factory reset would be next step, as much as a pain that it is.
Just backup and reset

play store not connecting

This is driving me nuts! Every time I install a rom on my verizon gs3, the play store will not connect. It doesn't matter what rom I use. I have tried Hyperdrive, Synergy, Cleanrom, Goodness and I don't what others. It is all the same. Play store will not connect after install. Google now will also tell me that there is no connection as well. I currently run Beans 15 and play store works perfectly. But I like to try new roms and I can't because of this issue.Things I have tried:
When I go to install any rom i first go in to mounts in CWM and format cache, data, sdcard and system, then i wipe cache again from main page, then wipe dalvik and then hit factory reset. Probably overkill but I like to make sure nothing is left from previous installs.
After install I start by clearing cache and dalvik and fix permissions and factory reset
Cleared the host files in the /etc and /system/etc
Backed up google play services and the play store from my beans install, installed them on new rom with no luck
My time and date are correct
My location is correct
Happens no matter the kernel (stock, KT747, zeus)
I have removed accounts rebooted and readded
I have reset app setting in app manager
I have cleared cache and data and force stopped in everything that starts with google
In my last install of cleanrom 7, google now actually worked, but the play store would not and hangouts threw an error saying it couldn't find google.
My 3g/4g works perfectly fine as well as my wifi. I can browse the net, get my email in gmail, my contacts are there and my calendar items show up. Have I missed something somewhere? Any help is greatly appreciated.
I am also runing the VRBMF1 firmware but was happening on MB1 as well. I would also note that everything else in all those roms runs perfectly.

Just says not connected or no connection with a retry button. Internet works fine though. Gets on with 3g/4g and wifi.

Have you tried just doing a basic wipe and install without all the other excessive stuff you keep doing? Optionally try clearing cache/data on Google Play and Google Frameworks. You shouldn't need to do all that stuff with permissions and copying files over.

. No no to basic wipe. Yes to cache and data stuff in google apps. And no i shouldn't have to copy stuff but it is what i have done to troubleshoot this issue
Are you restoring anything via TiB or doing anything outside of flashing, rebooting and then entering your google account info?

No. Restoring nothing. Don't even use TiB. I reinstall the long way. But yes flash, boot and follow setup.
Tried again today with the newest beanstalk rom and MOAR rom and got the same results. everything but the play store and google now works perfectly. All i did before installing both of these was to factory data reset, wipe cache and dalvik. No other fancy formatting. At a loss for what to try next.

Well so far so good. I flashed back VRBLK3 because that is what I had already downloaded and still didn't work. Even after all updates to VRBMF1. So I downloaded and Odin'd back to VRALG1 and the play store has worked all the way through latest updated. So that did it for anyone having the same issue. Odin back to VRALG1 and start over. Haven't installed a rom yet but am confident it will work. Will report back after I get one installed.
Edit: Well after flashing Hyperdrive 14 I am back in the no connection phase with the play store. Man this sucks.
That's really strange bro, as long as I Odin a factory rom, I can flash whatever and keep my connectivity. I'm currently on cleanrom 7. But as soon as I factory reset it won't connect

I think you may have hit it right there. I installed hyperdrive once and there was residual from stock. My weather widget wouldn't work correctly for one. So I did a factory reset and then reinstalled. Hyperdrive installed right and there was no residual from stock but play stopped working. So do you Odin back to stock every time you want to install a new ROM? Or how do you install to get rid of the previous ROM without losing connectivity?

[Q] rooted device without backing up(can't install anything)

Hello everyone! First post from a noob android fanboy! I have a gnex gsm version. I rooted recently and flashed cm11, but the problem is that I did not backed up my data(don't know why I did that sincerely), but the problem is somewhere else. I couldn't install anything. When I try to download Facebook it says error, try to download play store, won't open. I sign in with my account on play store on the web and it show the status of my previous apps installed, but I can't find them nowhere. This is the best part where I factory reset my phone, loosing all my data, but the situation is the same. I flashed cwm before the custom ROM, but I don't know if I have it anymore. Any idea is welcome guys. Thanks in advance
You cant install google play and start downloading apps right away !!
You have to flash GApps
(Google Apps)
Search for this on google : cm11 gapps
Download it and format system + factory reset from the recovery (cwm)
Then flash the rom again .. And before u boot to system, flash the GApps package

Rooted phone won't install apks, how can I fix this?

I recently rooted my phone, and it worked perfectly fine after that, but a few hours later, I noticed that the play store would not connect, even with a stable connection. Noticing this I thought to resync my account, however I was prompted with a notice saying "could not connect to Google servers, try again later." After getting this, I checked online for solutions, most of them being for me to download ES file explorer and delete a host file, however while trying to get the file explorer apk, I was told it wouldn't install. I finally resorted to a factory reset and I still have the same problem, and I can't get my backup data since I can't log into google accounts. Can someone help me?
