[Q] RPC:S-3 error retrieving information from server

[P_Raposo]

All I did was:

Go to settings > applications > Google play store > Force Stop > clear DATA (it'll clear cache too) > open Play Store > Update your stuff.

And it worked like a charm.

I wonder how many of the others who cleard that and Google Services Framework would have just been fine by only clearing Play Store data.

Clearing data for Google Services Framework is a bad idea.

Strange; I cleared Google Services Framework data (before stumbling across this thread) and so far, I have never faced any issues. This should be investigated further, methinks.

Meanwhile, another solution I found:

1. Uninstall all updates to Play Services
2. Clear Google Services Framework
3. Wait for Hangouts to request you to update Google Play Services
4. Update that thing

This, I can confirm, worked without any issues for me.

There may be several different issues with this error. I came across it yesterday and just waited it out. Today Greenify updated just fine.

Since different users have reported different "fixes" resolving the issue (fixes which don't work for others), I have to agree with the above post that there is more than one root cause. A quick summary of various fixes seen in this thread and elsewhere:

• changing your primary Google account password
• force-stop and clearing cache/data on Google Services Framework, Play Store, and/or Google Play Services
• wiping cache/Dalvik
• removing and re-adding your Google account(s)
• uninstalling Play Store updates
• updating Google Play manually, e.g. with downloaded APK
• turning off sync / turning off WiFi/mobile data
• ROM reflashes or factory resets
• various combinations of the above, usually with reboots in between

For me, I tried everything above except for reflashing/resetting, and a manual installation of the latest Play Store apk was what finally resolved it. I have no real evidence, but I suspect a pushed Play Store update may have interacted badly with XPrivacy in my case - and although XPrivacy could query for allow/deny on usage, I could not change permissions for Play Store within the XPrivacy app. In other words, it might not be that updating Google Play fixed it so much as the update forced XPrivacy to re-query about all permissions...and this time when in doubt I clicked "Allow." YMMV, but I'm hoping this makes troubleshooting easier for somebody out there than it was for me.

Rpc:s-3 error.

If you use Titanium backup, just go to the app, find google Playstore, wipe data. Done!

For me, removing the account, reboot, re-adding the account, claring the cache did the trick!

 

[enoxos]

No need to remove the Google account on this problem. It suffices to:

1. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All
2. Google Play Store -> Clear data
3. Google Service Framework -> Clear data
4. Reboot

Found at http://android.stackexchange.com/questions/59861/error-retrieving-information-from-server-rpc-s-3

this worked well for me on a Galaxy tab 2.0 with 7" screen.

thanks
