I apologize if this has been covered... but I don't see a permanent solutions in other threads; and thought it might be beneficial for Sprint GS3 owners.

Anyone else experience the following error? If so, what is the fix?

Remove your Google account from settings then sign-in again it worked for me but might mess up some of your contacts info.

Go into system settings/applications /all/ play store
Then clear data and cache. Reboot phone then sign in again. This should work.

Are you on a custom rom, or unrooted stock? If you're on a custom rom, make sure you flashed the proper gapps and didnt just sideload the playstore
Also, did you do anything before getting this error? Did it just randomly come up while using the play store?

A quick search says that others who got this same error code were able to solve it by removing their google account and adding it back

Try adding a second Google account, deleting the first one, adding the first account back, then deleting the second account.

I was under the impression this was a temporary solution and the problem would resurface. Will try.

Also updated my firmware to MA6; but the problem still exists.
