Google Play error “Error while retrieving informat

Question

I'm just finishing a game for android and I'm testing out the in app purchase functions. I'm sending testing using android.test.purchased

It was working fine until a few hours ago. But now when I click the "accept and buy" in google play, the store gives the error.

Google play error "Error while retrieving information from server [DF-DFERH-01]"

Does anyone know what this error means?

Answer 1

It works for me.....

I went to the settings on my phone and deleted my gmail account then re-added and synced the account and it worked for me.

settings>accounts>delete account settings>accounts>add account>sync and follow screen prompts

hope it works for you, i was receiving the df-dferh-01 error as well and couldnt buy in app purchases and this did the trick

Issue resolved after installing Google Play Services (NEVER needed them until now, removed because used too many resources on my Android 2.3), and do the following steps:

From Ryan Lestage on Google+:

1. Clear data for the following apps:

   • Play Store
   • Download Manager
   • Google Services Framework

2. Restart your phone.

3. Fire up the Play Store app.
4. Wait for the device to show again on the web Play Store. It will appear under Settings > Devices. It may take a half-hour to several hours to appear.

When your phone has shown up in the Play Store with the date registered as today's date, proceed with the next steps, but not before.

1. Open Google Settings from your device's apps menu.
2. Touch Android Device Manager.
3. Uncheck Allow remote factory reset.
4. Go to your device's main Settings menu, then touch Apps > All > Google Play services.
5. Touch Clear Data. Note that this action doesn't remove personal data.
6. Go back to Google Settings and select Allow remote factory reset.
7. Restart your device.
