Having RPC S-3 errors?

I noticed some people were having issues with Google Play returning RPC S-3 errors on the KitJelly ROM, and Android 4.4 KitKat in general, so I thought I would take a moment to explain why users are getting the error, and the methodology of fixing the issue.

Note: Results may vary depending on device and configuration. In most cases if one method doesn't work, move to the next method. Please do NOT send me a PM asking me why x method did not work.

On that note, let's begin.

What you'll need:
- Your Google Account (it is necessary for the second method, not so much for the second)
- Decent working knowledge of Application Manager within Settings
- Common sense (I say that because occasionally something will go wrong)

Method A - Little more difficult, results may very
- Go to Settings
- Scroll down and click on Application Manager
- In Application Manager swipe to All
- Scroll down until you find Google Play Store, click on it
- Scroll down and click on Clear Cache (or if you're inclined, Clear Data)
- Back out of that and click on Google Services Framework
- Do the same process as before and Clear Data/Cache
- Reboot the device (perform a Full Rebopot, NOT a Soft Reboot)

Method B - Easier to do, generally fixes most issues
This method requires you to have your Google Account credentials, if you do not remember them, you can get that information from Google.

- Go to Settings
- Under Accounts click on Google
-- If you have multiple Google Accounts, identify the one you use for Play Services
- Click on the account and click Remove Account (at the bottom)
- Now go through the instructions for adding your account as if you were setting it up for the first time
- Reboot your device (in this case either a Full Reboot or Soft Reboot would suffice)

If you have any legitimate questions, please post them here. Keep in mind this only addresses RPC S-3 issues, nothing else.

Good luck!
 
The RPC S-3 issue is not really device specific, and is a case-by-case occurrence, I've looked into it further and found that it affects devices 4.3 and higher, although it can occur in any version of Android 4.x with the latest version of Play Services.

To answer your second question, it's not a root related issue.

This post is probably better suited elsewhere, I do apologize if I posted it in the wrong section, I come here every so often and don't quite look through the forums.

Cheers,
Iian

I thought about moving it to the Android Lounge for more visibility to everyone.
So I did ;)
**poof**--moved! :)

Sounds good to me boss, maybe I'll contribute more posts like that when I come across them. Just something I happened to notice in a ROM specific thread and thought I would address it because no one had. :)

And that's cool :cool: thanks!
All I ask is, if you find a solution to problems, just be sure that it comes from a reliable source, works for this or that device, perhaps even tested by you, yadda, yadda, yadda.;)
Don't want iffy solutions that might bork devices, ya know;)

Indeed, I have tested this on my device, and I do know it has been confirmed on other devices.
