[Q] Apps won't download when started from playstore website - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I have googled, searched and even called Google themselves but I cannot start a download from my desktop browser and have it install on my phone.
Phone does nothing at all, sits there pretending I haven't asked it to do anything.
The app will appear in My Apps in the play store and I can download and install from the device directly.
I've followed the guidelines on Google website, signing out of talk etc but still no luck.
I did manage to make it work by going back to stock, then flashing SuperNexus but within four days it's broken again.
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this and how to resolve it?

Try using a different Google account to setup the phone then sign in on the Web

Remove the Google account from the phone, reboot and log in again.

Thanks for the tips but still no joy.
Google refuse to help because I'm rooted!

So when you open play store, it doesn't start automatically?

I sometimes have the same problem. Toggling WiFi or data off then back on seems to do the trick usually.

Nope, sits there doing nothing as if I haven't touched a thing.
The Badger, that somehow managed to sort it! I can't believe such a simple toggle can fix a problem that I've been struggling to sort for a week!
You have my sincerest thanks!!

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

Google Play "Missing Apps" Issue (AGAIN!)

Hello,
My problem is identical to the one show here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377514
Basically, when you go to "My Apps" in google play, it just says "Applications and Games owned by this account will appear here."
I am unable to download previously purchased apps.
I have tried ALL the solutions on that thread to no avail.
It happened after I upgraded my Rom to a newer version (hydrogenics 23/03 to 25/03) but I doubt it is ROM related, since flashing back to the backup of my 23/03 rom does not resolve the problem.
My Google Play app is on the latest version (3.5.15) which is supposed to solve this issue.
I am really desperate and at a loss. Anyone can help?
I would be super super grateful for any form of help.
No one can help?

Where is "turn on google now"?
here are the screenshots for settings of google now
In fact, there should be another option in the settings above the Voice Search
that setting is Google now.....
Unfortunately, you don't have it
I dunno why

Maybe you are usung google apps for business?
If so, you have to activate google now in your apps for business administration settings.
Hope that helps,

Region Dependent maybe?
I'm not sure though but Google Now may be region dependent? I have the same problem with the recent 4.1.2 update here in the Philippines. I will try to install a UK firmware and well see how it goes.

which rom are you using ?
This should be the case in settings. This is on the leaked 4.2.2.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Google now is location dependent thus, it wont work on some network/country/region... just like google wallet. It was working when I was in the US but not here in the Philippines.

The Play Store is working fine here, try rebooting the phone and wiping the Play Store's cache.

[Q] Gmail App can't download attachments

Hi guys for the past few days my gmail has been having issues with downloading attachments. Ever since I used a program to clean some junk off my phone I have been noticing issues. For example if I can send attachments with no problem but once I go to download an image I sent its a black screen and says *couldn't load image* or if downloading a different file it says "can't download try again." Is there any way I can fix this? I am on a rooted 4.3 stock Samsung ROM. Thank you in advance
I guess no one knows..?
Hey did u uninstall the app and installed it again? Make a restart of your phone. Maybe its a bug from google.
