Google Play Stopped Upon Upgrading to Android 4.0

[alokatmuscat]

On seeing an upgrade flashing, I upgraded my Sony Tablet s to Android 4 about a week ago. Since then Google Play (android Market) has stopped working. A message simple flashes " Unfortunately, Google Play has stopped working".
anyone faced similar problems??? Solutions?

Welcome to the forum

Try this, go to settings - apps - all and find the Google Play Store app. Tap on it and tell it to clear cache then force stop and restart your tablet.

This is what I did:

Just head over to your tablet settings, select apps and choose the google play store app. From there you`ll be able to uninstall the app. You`ll notice that the google play store will go back to the original factory version. Open the store and you`ll be prompted to upgrade. Do so and you`ll. Have your store back.

I am getting the 'stopped error' tried everything re-installing - clearing accounts - even reset my tablet back to the factory settings. I have an Ainol Elf 2, just got it this week & never managed to get the Google Play to fully work. I can get into the play store but when I try to install I get the error message. The message then appears everytime I open the play store, the only way I can stop the error message is to stop the app then clear the data. Then I try again but the same happens once I try to install.

I did have the same error message with the YouTube app but removing it & re-installing fixed it. Trying different versions of the Play app but it seems to then try to update & fails. Only way I have managed to get apps on my tablet is to find them elsewhere & download the APK. Is there anyway I can download the apps from the Play store without installing???

I frequently find an app I want on the Play Store using a browser and tell it to install then pick the device and it installs. That doesn't solve the problem but should allow you to install apps without using the Play App.

I had a try opening play in a browser, tried to do as you suggest installing an app. After telling me it's installed tried to find the app. or where it was dwnloaded to but nothing there? Also now getting message 'Unfortunately, Browser has stopped'.

Google Play is supposed to be installed by the Manufacturer. If it isn't included, the device is probably not Google Android Compatible. If buying a new device, I'd avoid devices that don't come pre-installed with Google Play.

My tablet is an Ainol Elf 2 & according to their website should have Google Play.

I download the firmware update Aggro0626-Elf2-01B & everything is working fine now. After doing the factory reset it came back on with Google Play installed.

Hi . I bought a Mediacom SmartPad 722i yesterday and today
I struggled all the afternoon to get the darn app working ,
until I found this link : Connectivity requirements to use Google Play - Google Play Help .
I would've never thought about that in my life .
I changed my router settings to open TCP and UDP 5228 ports for the device , and
now Google Play works .
Hey, it just worked for me .
Hope this helps .

I am replying to myself because I was not able to edit my post.
Just forgot to tell that I installed Google Play Store version is 3.9.17 .
