1. In our Android terminal, we go to the Settings

2. Then to Applications

3. Here locate the following FRAMEWORK OF GOOGLE SERVICES:

4. We select Google Services Framework, stop the service, and then delete the data.

5. Then, we locate the service also Google Play, and do the same operation, stop and delete data.

6. After doing this with the two services, reniciamos our Android terminal and will try to download an application from Google Play, we see that already operate normally. Disculpame by Google translation.

Did all that on a call from a Google troubleshooter, but still the same error.

Definitely looking to be an issue with my account from some further testing though.

Just created a new account and added my card as a payment method. Tried to make a purchase and it goes through fine.

The only difference with my regular account and the new account is that my regular account has some Google Play Store credit on it from the Opinion Rewards app, and has a fair few devices registered against it.

I'm wondering if it's possible that my account just has 'too many' devices against it, but I can't see any way to actually remove an old device from my account (My old S3 phone seems to be on there 3 times and I now have two Pixel C tablets registered against it)

Removed the new account from the tablet and re-added my original account. If I go to the "My Account" section of the Play Store on the tablet, I get the same error message when it tries to retrieve/display my payment methods. But again, only with my primary account on a new device. My old devices that were already registered can do this no problem. So the issue seems to be that new devices aren't correctly registering against my account, or something along those lines.

[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagamorph:
I can see my current devices on there, but not the older ones. But I can see the older ones on my Play Store devices list strangely enough.

The device I'm having trouble with is listed on there and doesn't state as having any problems.

I had another callback from Google and the issue is being escalated, so we'll see how it goes.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
El goog don't advertise this, and might be reticent at first, but you can get them to delete all your devices (not the same as you account) from 'registered' and then you begin again. Usually you only have a number (4?) you may disconnect every year from the total of 10 (I think).

In your case, I've no doubt they'll do it.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Murmel2k:
Had this problem too on my Sony Android TV. In my case the problem was a voucher code (and trying to pay with it, paying normally worked fine), I've activated over the chromecast offers page. The google support wasn't able to delete it, but the unredeemable voucher disappeared after a few months.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagamorph:
Hm, will see if I can get Google to remove some devices from my account. There's 8 showing on there at the moment when I go to Settings on the Google Play Web store, 4 of which need to be removed (3 old phones and the first Pixel C tablet), though these don't appear in the Android Device Manager.

I'm also wondering if the issue lies with the Google Credit I have on my account, all of which was earned through the Opinion Rewards app. I'm tempted to try just spending all of it via another device to clear it from the account and see if that sorts things. Even if it doesn't it's only about £8 worth, and it's not like I paid anything for it.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lagamorph:
Cracked it.

It was something weird with my account, but also something I could fix.

I downloaded the Firefox browser onto my Pixel C and accessed the Play Store webpage through there, going to the My Account section where my Payment Methods are listed. I noticed that there's a payment method for my mobile carrier that I set up on my old Sony Z2, but was also available on my Nexus 6P. I removed that payment method, then on the Pixel I cleared the Data/Cache for Google Play Framework and Google Play Store apps, then restarted. After that, my Pixel C Play Store app can now access my payment information and make purchases.

No idea if it was removing the carrier payment method that did it since that method was causing some kind of conflict on a non 3G tablet, or if it was accessing the Play Store via a third party browser app which kicked some kind of authentication into gear.

Either way, a very weird issue thankfully solved! I've responded to my Google Support ticket with the update as well, so hopefully they can become aware of a possible issue.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Danielle926:
I have rooted Kindle Fire's in my classroom (because it was the cheapest way to get devices in the hands of my students!) but at school I cannot download apps from the Google Play Store (Appstore works fine). I used Root Junky's Super Tool and I'm wondering if there's something with how it's running that is causing a security issue with the school's wifi, as I can download the apps at home and I can use the school's wifi to download apps from my phone.

If so, how would I work around this? Since most of the apps I use are from the Play Store and it's really cumbersome to have to bring them home for installs/updates, etc.

I rooted them myself but am generally clueless about how things work. I'd appreciate any suggestions!

I'm using Nova Prime, and I love it. So customizable and feature-packed. But it's the only 3rd party launcher I've ever used, so I can't really compare it to anything else. However, I can't imagine anything being any better.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] rj3005:
Apex
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] chippyuk:
If the Nova people above have time I would thoroughly recommend giving Apex a try. It really does add some great little visuals, drawer features and functionality. The only thing I miss from Nova is the alphabetical slider in the app drawer. May take a bit of fiddling with settings but you really can do so much more with Apex compared to Nova. Just hope they bring out an update to Apex as it is a little overdue although works without issue...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] scott_0:
Nova prime
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
The best launcher on the Galaxy S7 Edge is exactly the same as the best launcher on the last three phones I have owned. Namely Nova Launcher Prime. I go one further by setting up a Nova activity when the home button is pressed on the Nova home screen which opens up HTC Blinkfeed, and then back to Nova with another press within Blinkfeed. The perfect combination.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] TheTrooper:
Nova Prime all the way ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] short/y:
I've used just about every launcher out there, Nova, Apex, Action, Go and a bunch I can't recall. My fave for its customizability, speed, and light memory footprint is Lightning Launcher. You can write scripts to change its behavior and attach them to individual actions and gestures. You can make it do things with Tasker and, my real favorite, is that you can create multiple home screens, each with multiple pages. I have my daily home screen, a Car screen (that's triggered by Tasker when my car BT connects), a Night home screen and one for Workouts (triggered like the Car screen when my BT earbuds connect). There's a paid version (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher_extreme) and a free/trial (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.pierrox.lightning_launcher). One of the best app purchases I've made.

Nova launcher prime on all my android devices. I have also used Apex in the past but it hasn't been updated in a while since June last year & they lost me when they added the Feeling Lucky ads to the paid version.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
Apex stopped being a serious rival for Nova for me when Nova finally offered the ability to use labels on dock icons. The only real thing it's missing now is the ability to search names in icon packs. It's something other launchers are now offering and it really helps when you're using an icon pack with thousands of icons. Drop shadows on desktop icons would be nice too.

I used to use Apex Launcher until just recently. You want customization? Check out Lightning Launcher. I don't think there is a free version but you practically have full control. Amazing app, there is a learning curve but well worth it.

I've been using Nova for years and years. Nothing against Samsung's, LG's or Sony's launcher: it's just that it's far less of hassle if I can back up and restore the layout of all my apps. My process is this after either getting a new device or resetting my current device:

Login to Google Play services and have it restore all my apps.

Pick Nova Launcher / Prime (I'm not sure if the free version allows it? I've always used Nova Prime).

Restore from Dropbox the previous layout I had.

Done! :) All my widgets and app folders are in their correct place, with the previous icon size and swipe commands.

There is nothing like that :) I suppose that's why Apple users like Apple products and don't move from them, for the same reason I use Nova - stability and ease of use.

I just didn't feel the need for it.
