General :: Play Store Speeds Ridiculously Slow On WiFi
May 30, 2013
Across all three of my devices; Galaxy Note 8, Galaxy S3, and Nexus 4, my download speeds for downloading and updating apps on the Google Play Store have been unbearably slow, taking 20+ minutes to download 5mb. Only while using wifi though. HSPA+ data through T-Mobile is quick and painless.
I have Verizon Fios as my ISP. I've seen numerous other threads complaining about this issue across the Web but none offer any type of explanation or solution. While restarting the router/modem alleviates the problem for a few minutes, it's no use..
Also, might I add that YouTube has been unusable as well do to awful buffering. I think there may be a conflict between Fios and Google's servers. Whatever this is, I'm getting fed up. I can't download or update any apps on my Nexus 4 that I just got today, not to mention on any of my devices at all.
I know it's not my Internet, speed tests reveal 20megs down and 5 up across all three devices and general Internet usage is awesome. Only YouTube and the Play Store have been affected.

I seem to get about 3Mbits down max speed on my hero, versus 17Mbits on my computer, both using wifi. Latency is also a slight issue. 3Mbits is okay, but just wondering if this is abnormal. I used the speedtest.net app, and I connect to my router using WPA1. Does everyone else get similar results? BTW I'm using Fresh 1.1 Rom.

My speedtest on my 3G network is 12mbps. However, when I download an App or Additional Files from the play store, I get speeds of 100kb/s which is way below the 12mbps expected download rate (should be more 1-2mb/s).

I have positioned my Vibrant right next to my wireless laptop and am running the speed tests from Speedtest.net (app on phone and internet site from computer). The speeds shown are remarkably different on downloads: computer 4.5ish (wireless g) Vibrant 1.0ish and very inconsistent. What gives?
On an unrelated matter ...does anyone know how to turn back on the haptic portion of the wakeup puzzle? Mine no longer works and I cannot find a setting for this issue.

I've noticed that lately, my download speeds on my rooted Droid (running BB 0.5 most recently, though this "problem" occurred with BB 0.4 and LFY 1.6 as well) have not been stellar, though my upload speeds seem fine:
Could this be caused by the baseband? Im running C_01.43.01P. Prior to that, I was running (I think) 3E, which came with the phone, and worked fine with BB 0.4 but when the updated one came out I updated it since, hey, it's newer right? Anyway, (1) is this certainly the problem? and (2) if I choose to, how can I safely roll back to the 3E baseband?

I just did a clean flash of CM10.1 on my SGSII. After I booted back up and things started downloading, I noticed that everything was downloading at under 1kb/s. Yes, under one KB per second. Streaming media is fast as ever but this is SO slow. My Nexus 7 and Acer A500 are fine on the Play store but my SGSII is painfully slow. Right now, Facebook says it has 35 minutes to download.
should I go back to the CM10.1 thread and continue to get flamed for blaming the ROM?

I own HTC Desire (Bravo). I rooted my phone year ago or so, tried different ROMs etc. I dont remember when exactly, but my Google play store is loading pages really slow. I am not in US, I doubt its carrier based issue..
Currently I'm using CM..I think its 8 or 9, not sure of the version because recently my ROM manager app stopped working. (Will try to reinstall it when I get calm enough to open Google Play Store again )
On the startup it says CM 7 (mod) but I think it does so for all versions. I flashed CM using clockwork mod.
To solve issue I've tried clearing cash/data but it didn't work . Btw I use wi-fi mostly, but issue is the same whether I use mine or some other wi-fi.

Last few days i'm having a weird problem with play store. Everytime i'm using wifi and try to open play store it crashes and closes! BUT, when i disable wifi and try to open it with 3G it opens normally!
I though it was the rom i was using with my Galaxy Tab 8.9, then i installed stock rom back and tried, same problem.
Until now, i though it was a problem with my tab, but i JUST BOUGHT a new phone, a Motorola Razr i, turned it on and tried to open play store over wifi, same problem, but over 3G it opens normally!

I got my Galaxy S3 today and decided to keep my Droid X for my son for games and movies. I can access the play store from the Droid X, but it doesn't show up as a device on my Play account on the Google website. Did I miss a sync setting or something?
I had both phones on my account when I first started, even after the Droid X had already been deactivated, but it disappeared after I did a factory reset on the phone. Both phones use the same Google account to sign into the store. The Droid X is running MIUI.

I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 and i am banging my head against the wall because Play store won't open or do anything when connected to my wifi. it is however functional when wifi is turned off and only mobile data is active. Things i've tried (and still not working)
1. Cleared cache and data for Play store, google services, download manager and download.
2. uninstalled updates
3. Have tried seeing if anything has disabled and it hasn't, the last app on my 'all' is you tube
4. reset my phone to factory settings.
I feel like a pleb as I had this problem when I first got the phone but the clearing cache and data worked then and was fine for weeks but now nothing seems to work.

I've just bought tTorrent Pro, and the download speeds are horrendous, no more than 150kb/s maximum. Any other torrent downloader gives me speeds of up to 750kb/s. What's the deal?

I've had Eris since last Christmas, so I say it's been almost 9 months or so. The biggest complain I have with this phone is how ridiculously slow the phone is. I was getting really tired of all the lags that the phone had. The major lags that made me very impatient were: 1. Phone dial lag 2. GPS lag (I had to wait 25 seconds for options to pop out after pressing "menu" button while the GPS was on.) 3. Whenever phone call comes in, it shows the digits first, and 7 seconds later, the names appeared. None of these problems were solved even after getting the phone replaced twice. I called the Verizon to see if I could get a replacement with another phone, however even after 5 attempts with various of speech techniques (even I've gotten upto a point where the rep offered me to switch to another phone) the answer was "No, you are stuck with that phone regardless whether you like it or not. Eventually the universal rooting method came along and I've rooted my phone. Code...

with webOS there was a patch that basically 'removed' a download speed limit from the HP app store (which i believe was an app store limitation)
I typically have been downloading apps from G.Play over wifi at home, but just generically wondering if there was some type of cap implementation with android and/or G.Play, and a way to remove it via a mod?
running a rooted stock rom on a Sprint GS3.

So I decided to actually try out Barnacle today, as I've had it installed for a couple days now. Set my options, started it, and connected with an older Acer laptop that a co-worker had at the office. Here are the speeds I got from the local San Diego, CA speedtest.net server...
5.13Mb down
1.37Mb up
Wow...that's phenominal for a mobile device!

I have a personal android device that I have joined to my companies network and as part of the MDM policy the google play store gets hidden. Company is 60k+ employees, so there's no hope of getting an exception.
So far I've managed to side load about 90% of the applications I need via android drawer but this only works for free apps, I can't load any of the apps I've purchased from the Play store without the play app.
I have tried to sideload the play store, and it seems to install fine, but doesn't show anywhere in the app drawer, or under the app information in the settings menu.
I've also tried to go to play.google.com to install via web, but the device in question isn't listed as an available target for install (presumably because I've never logged into play from it).
I have read-only filesystem access to the device, is the a way to manually execute the binary that launches the play store? If so, where it's located? I checked /system/apps/ and it's not there.how I can unhide or launch the play store app so I can get my purchased apps loaded back onto my device?

So I developed my first android app which is in the play store I don't have a physical android phone so I developed the app using emulators and stuff and when I do a play store search on the web, I can find my app. Anyway yesterday, I downloaded this new android emulator called Genymotion that comes with emulated phones that have access to the play store and when I did a search of my app in the play store on the emulator I couldn't find it. Then when i did a Google search on the phone and clicked on the link to open it in the play store it said that the app was not compatible with the phone which is weird because the emulator is running android 4.2.2 and the app is supposed to run on anything from Android 2.2 upwards. Anyway, do a quick search on your play store app and search for my app called "Reflap" (No need to download it) . If you can't find it, do a Google search on your phone and find the link to the play store, click it and open it in the play store and see if it gives you the incompatibility message.

I got hold of a copy of a VirtualBox file containing Android ICS. Its working on my Windows 7 PC except that there is no Play Store App.
I have read on another website that there are two packages I need to install but I have never used Android until this morning and don't know how to get hold of them and install them on my Virtual Android install.

I recently uninstalled my Play Store due to most applications not showing and whenever i search for them it says device is not compatible.So I uninstalled using sd maid since it is a system app and my fone is rooted.
I tried to install a downloadable apk file of play store but to no luck, it always force closes at app launch.Every version of play store i installed are all the same, force closes at application launch.
I also found out that vending.apk or skyphone.apk (whatever you call that) together with its. .odex counterpart is missing.

I'm trying to rent or buy movies in play store. I click the price and in the pop-up window it says: The article you bought is not available where your are (it is originally in German). I cannot go on to pay.
I have a S2g with latest German firmware (rootet). Problem is that it works perfectly fine for my wife, who has exactly the same phone+firmware and is in the same network. Why I cannot access the movies? GT-I9100G

Yesterday after turning on wi-fi on my EVO 3D, there was a system update notification. Yes, it was the long awaited ICS. Since it was very late I didnt play around it with it till today. When i did, i noticed that play store wont update my apps anymore due to 921 error. Quick google search suggested that i delete cache and reinstall app. Well, i managed to remove the app somehow (even though i got "was not removed successfully message"), because whenever I press the Play Store icon, the message "the linked program is no longer installed on your phone" appears. I have no clue how to get this back. To be honest i dont understand how a user can be allowed to remove such a vital app...

Version 4.0.4
I obtained an Android from a friend and created a second account for the Play Store. Now I want to remove the initial account (first on the list). It has as its ID a non Gmail account and I do not know the password associated with it.
I went into App settings and for Google Play Store clicked on Clear data. That did not remove either account.
What are the step to take to remove the initial account?
