Play market doesn't work

Many users are faced with the problem that Google stops functioning for unknown reasons, producing errors of various numbers that are unlikely to mean anything to ordinary users. And sometimes this problem can occur quite often on one device.

First of all, you need to understand that the service may work due to technical problems related specifically to the service itself, or due to some problems related to our mobile device. In this article we will try to give advice on how to troubleshoot this problem.

The simplest reason is that you deleted the play market. You can download it again. We also advise you to download an alternative market - this.
Updated 07/14/2018

If your Play Market has been updated and stopped working, try downloading the old version. The latest update 10.8.23-all made a big problem (Android 5.1). If your phone freezes, the processor loads up to 100%, then freezes and does everything you tried to do while it was frozen, a hard reset will not help, rolling back to the old version of Google Play will help.

Updated 04/23/2018

If the play market stopped working for you on April 22 or 23, 2018, this is due to Telegram being blocked.
Google crashes: why don't services work? On the night of April 21-22, thousands of Russian users complained about the inaccessibility of the Google website. On April 16, Roskomnadzor blocked 655,532 IP addresses associated with Amazon and about a million more Google addresses. We hope that the blocking is temporary, but in the meantime you can use our site, look at the application and games in the site menu, you might like something. Add the site to your bookmarks.

To make the application work, you can try.

No matter how trivial it may sound, the first thing you need to do is reboot your smartphone, because sometimes the system can freeze, and a simple reboot will return it to working condition.

2. Reconfigure Google Play Market

1). Go to the “Settings” section;
2). Open the “Application Manager” section (on some devices this column is simply called “Applications”);
3). Find it in the Google Play list and click on Market
4). Here we need to click either “Erase data” or “Clear cache” - on different device models this column may be called one way or another.

If after this the problem has not been solved, we will look for a solution further.

3. Get rid of application updates.


We also go to the “Settings” section, then to “Applications”, but do not erase the data, but click “Delete updates”. Thus, the Market will return to its original state, when the program was just installed on the smartphone.

4. Reset Google Play Services settings.


We do the same as in the second point, only we select not the Market itself, but “Google Play Services”. Then we clear the data and cache.

5. Google Accounts is not activated in Settings


To enable the application, you need to go to the “Settings” section, then to “Applications”, then click on “All”. Find the item “Google Accounts” and activate the program.

6. “Download Manager” is disabled


Go to the settings section in “Applications”, then to “All” and find the “Download Manager” section in the list. If the manager is not activated, you need to enable it. But if it's enabled, you don't need to change anything. So the problem lies elsewhere.

7. Removing your Google account and restoring it


To delete an account, go to “Settings”, then find “Accounts and synchronization settings”; in some devices this column is called “Accounts and synchronization”. Here we delete the account and then restore it.

8. Programs that prevent the Google Play Store service from working

Some applications you have installed may block the Market. Therefore, carefully go through the list of installed programs; it is likely that some programs do not allow the Market to work fully. Such service-blocking applications include Freedom.

9. Troubleshooting the “hosts” file


So, you actually have Freedom installed on your device. Then the ninth point will certainly help you understand the current problem. But in this case, root rights are required. First of all, you will need to disable the Freedom application. You can do this by going to Stop. After we have disabled it, feel free to delete it.

That's not all, next we will need the Root Explorer program. Downloading it will not be difficult. So, we have the program. Next, go to the path “/system/etc/” and find the hosts file. You can open it using any text editor. In this file we need to leave only one line: “127.0.0.1 localhost”. If it is not there, we register it ourselves. There should not be any other lines.

10. Reset settings - Hard Reset


The toughest, but time-tested method. Thus, we delete absolutely all data located on the internal storage. If you have a memory card installed, then there is no need to worry about it, all data will remain safe.

And so, go to “Settings”, click on the “Backup and reset” item and select “Reset settings”. After this, the “Reset phone settings” option will appear in front of us, then click “Erase everything”.

There is no need to be afraid for your data, since there is a backup copy of the system. It is not difficult for the user to create a copy. You just need to find the “Data backup” item in the settings. As soon as you restart your mobile device after clearing the data, all data can be restored from the compiled copy.

11. Lack of internet connection

Perhaps the problem is the lack of Internet. Go to any browser and try to open a website, but if you can’t do this, most likely you need to solve a problem with the Internet.

12. Set the correct time - “No connection”

Let's say you see the error “No connection”, but you have made sure that the Internet on the device is fully functional. Then you will need to go to the time settings and set the correct time zone and, accordingly, the time itself. To prevent such problems from arising again, you need to create synchronization between time and the network. It's very easy to do. Go to “Settings”, click on the “Date and time” column, and then, next to two columns, check the boxes – “Network time zone” and “Network date and time”.

13. Clean the Clean Master system.

CCleaner, run, click clean. Ready.

14. Error when receiving data from the RH-01 server


If all these tips did not help you, ask questions in the comments and the PlayMarket-androidS site team will help you.
You may have one of the following problems:
- Play store error: insufficient memory.
- Play market error: no connection.
- What do Google Play errors mean?.

In this article we give reasons why the Play Market does not work, as well as 12 ways to access it and solve the problem.

Play Market does not always work on devices, there are many explanations for this. Incorrect configuration of the gadget, problems with software and connection - all this could be the reason. There are also external ones, when it refuses to work due to problems on the server. Let's look at this in more detail.

Resetting Play Market settings

Let's try to reset the settings, because... the problem may be a large amount of unnecessary information. For this:

  • go to "Settings";
  • go to "Applications"/"Application Manager";
  • select "Google Play Services";
  • Select the item "Memory";
  • Click "Clear cache".

After this, it won't hurt to reboot your device.

Uninstalling updates

If updates have been installed that contain flaws, you need to return the service to its original state. To do this, in the Google Play Market settings (see the previous paragraph), select “Remove updates”. After this, we also reboot the device, go to the store, install the latest updates that will make the system more stable.

What if it's "Google Play Services"?

Similar to the situation with the Play Market application, you need to go to the “Services” settings. Go to "Applications", select "Google Play Services". You also need to clear the cache there. Restart your smartphone/tablet.

Activating the Download Manager

The download manager may have been accidentally disabled. For example, if you tried to solve other problems with the device. In this case you need:

  • go to "Settings";
  • go to the "All" section;
  • select "Download Manager";
  • turn it on;
  • restart your smartphone.

Deleting a Google Account

This is a last resort measure, so synchronize all settings and data before deleting your account. Next, perform the following steps:

  • go to "Settings";
  • go to the "Accounts" tab
  • select Google;
  • click on the mailbox, select "Synchronize";
  • save all data;
  • Click "Delete account".

Remove incompatible apps

Many programs can only negatively affect the operation of the system, in particular the Play Market. Therefore, check the downloaded applications, remove all unnecessary ones and try to restart the device.

Check date and time

Google may refuse requests to download applications if the date and time are configured incorrectly and synchronization is disabled. For this:

  • Go to "Settings";
  • Go to the "Date and Time" tab.

Reset Android settings

This measure is one of the radical ones: all data on the smartphone is deleted. But if all else fails and your Google account cannot be restored, do the following:

  • Go to "Settings";
  • Find "Backup and Reset" there;
  • Perform a factory reset.

Remember to sync all data before deleting. Go to Settings>Accounts>Google. Select an account and click "Synchronize".

Often, for Android OS users, the Play Market, the official application store from Google, does not work.

The cause of the failure can be either short-term slowdowns of the device or serious problems in the OS system files.

Let's look at the problem in more detail.

Note! Before you start solving the problem, try simply restarting your phone and opening the program again.

1. Check your phone settings

If the program opens, but you cannot install any application, check your smartphone settings, namely “Date and Time”.

Due to incorrectly set date and time, the phone cannot receive a trust certificate, which is necessary to start the installation.

Go to the smartphone menu and click on the “Settings” icon. Now scroll down the page that opens to the “Date and time” item. Click on it and enter the correct parameters in the window that opens.

If you are configured to automatically receive data via the Internet, it is better to disable this option.

Now close the Play Market (remove from the list of open applications) and launch the program again. Installation of programs should work correctly.

2. Clearing the cache in the Play Market

If the application store does not open, or an error window pops up immediately after opening, clear the program cache.

Deleting the cache will not affect the display of user data in the market.

A cache is an intermediate buffer of data that stores individual programs. Accordingly, if too much data accumulates in the buffer, the application begins to work incorrectly.

To clear the cache in the Play Store, go to your phone's settings and open the list of all applications.

Then find the Google Play icon and click on it. In the window that opens, click on the “Clear cache” button.

After deleting the data, you must reboot the device for the changes to take effect. Usually, deleting the cache returns the program to functionality.

3. Deleting data

Play Market turns on, but data is not loaded? Most likely, your phone cannot set up a connection to the server. Check your Internet connection and clear program data.

Due to the frequent occurrence of errors, “non-working code” may be written to the root folder of the program, which interferes with the operation of the market.

You can delete all third-party files and error information manually through the phone settings menu:

  • Open the list of all installed programs;
  • Find Google Play Market in the list;
  • Open the “About Application” window;
  • The “Memory” field displays data on the volume of files and folders that were recorded on your device after installing the market. All this information must be deleted. To do this, press the “Erase Data” button and wait until the memory counters are reset. Open the app store after rebooting your phone.

Notice! After deleting the data, you will need to re-enter your login and password to authorize in the service - all settings will be reset automatically.

Information about previously installed programs will be saved in the “Favorites” section.

4. Working with updates

Problems with the standard app store may occur due to system bugs. As a rule, developers fix bugs in new update packages.

You need to check for updates, but you should remove old updates first.

This can be done in the information window about the Play Market application (Figure 4).

Click on the uninstall updates button. Then forcefully disable the program. Relaunch the market, everything should work fine.

Also make sure that the latest updates are installed. After the developer releases new updates, the “Update” button will appear in the settings.

5. Automatic account synchronization

\

For ease of use, all Android OS users can set up synchronization of a single Google+ account with almost any program.

This way you don't have to constantly create a huge number of custom pages in different applications.

Account synchronization is configured in the phone settings (the “Accounts” field).

To resolve the market launch error, try deleting your Google account in the settings.

This action will not deactivate your personal page, but will only disable it on your phone.

After deleting, try logging into your profile again. Then reboot your device. Turn on the Play Market and wait for the program to complete synchronization with your account.

You should also make sure that the synchronization options you select are correct.

Open your account settings as shown in the image below and select the services you want to interact with.

It should be noted that the operation of the market or your Google account may be affected by third-party programs that are installed on the phone.

Often the cause of the failure is “copies” of the official store or other utilities in which you can purchase games (examples of such applications: Steam, Freedom, Best Market and others).

6. “Downloads” utility settings

In the Android operating system, standard services are responsible for working with various functions.

The “Download Manager” system utility is responsible for receiving data from the global network (installing and updating applications).

The result of a failure of this service may be a disruption of the Play Market, browser, or email.

First of all, make sure that you are using the latest version of your phone's firmware. Adopt available over-the-air updates.

Check the status of the dispatcher.

In the list of all programs, click on the download icon and wait for all data to download.

Most likely, the service is simply disabled, so you do not have access to the application store. Click on “Enable” to resume work.

To increase the likelihood of eliminating errors, we also recommend clearing the cache and program data.

7. Unblocking services from Google

The previously discussed “Download Manager” service is the main utility that ensures the functionality of the Play Store on your phone.

However, other programs from Google can also affect the operation of the store.

Go to Settings and open the Application Notifications window. Next, disable blocking Google services, as shown in the figure below.

This action allows you to configure uninterrupted access to all Google utilities to your device.

You will automatically receive the latest information about the operation of applications and update data, due to the absence of which the Play Market may not work.

8. Working with system root files

Third-party applications can make changes to the phone's system files.

One such file is host.sys.

Text in this document may have been introduced by Freedom, Trojan horses, or other forms of malware. The only way to fix the problem is to edit the contents of the file yourself.

First, stop all programs and services that may block the operation of the market.

If possible, remove applications after installing which the store stopped working.

Now go to the file system using File Explorer. It's better to use ES File Manager or Total Commander.

Note! You can edit the contents of system files, in particular host files, only on devices with root rights. If you don't have them, you'll need to do some additional configuration to gain superuser capabilities.

In the Android system folder, find the host file and open it.

It should contain only one line indicating the address and name of the local network. Thanks to this content, all programs using WAN connections can connect to the device.

The figure shows part of the text that was added to the file by third-party sources.

The highlighted line blocks access of Google services to the phone. Delete it, save the changes to the file and restart your phone.

Thematic video:

One of the main ways to install applications on Android is the Play Market store. No, of course, you can install programs simply from APK files. But still, if the Play Market does not work on Android, what should you do?

First of all, don't panic. There are also rational reasons why not all Android devices come equipped with this essential tool.

And secondly, everything can usually be solved without much effort.

Android without Play - nonsense or not?

We usually find it hard to imagine Play not working on Android. This is an integral part of it... or what? It turns out, “or what.”

The fact is that in China, the leading manufacturer of Android devices, Google services are constantly blocked. Even such basic ones as search, Gmail and, as we see, Google Play. Of course, in “export” devices all this works great. But in smartphones and tablets that are produced for the domestic market of the Middle Kingdom, instead of Google services, their local analogues are installed.

There are other reasons for the lack of Google services. Long-suffering Nokia also produced Android smartphones – the famous X and XL. But there Google services were replaced with similar ones from Microsoft.

As usual, we have two news:

  • The bad: if you simply download the Google Play application and install it on such a smartphone by launching the APK file, it will not work fully.
  • Good: there is still a standard way to install Google services.

The fact is that Chinese smartphones are often based on the same MTK chipsets and are equipped with almost pure Android. This means that installing Google Play on them is also typical.

In most cases, the algorithm of actions is as follows:

As a rule, after this your device receives all Google services, including a full-fledged Play Market.

For atypical cases (the aforementioned Nokia X, for example), the algorithm will be different.

If Play is available, but does not work

In some cases, the problem is of a different nature: the Google Play application is on the system, but refuses to work. Why is this happening?

The market was installed on a smartphone that initially did not have Google services

This situation usually occurs on Chinese devices. The easiest way is to ignore it and use the instructions above.

The market is experiencing problems with authorization

Check to see if your device even uses a Google account. If yes, is the data entered correct?

The market does not recognize the Wi-Fi connection

Sometimes all problems with the market arise from the connection. Check your smartphone on other networks or via the mobile Internet: if everything works, then the problem is in the network. In this case, we recommend the following methods:

  • Disable proxy in your network settings. To do this, open the list of networks, press and hold “yours”, release, select “Change network”, then “Show additional options”. In the Proxy section, select no.
  • If this does not help, repeat the steps in the previous paragraph, but select the “IP Settings” section in the additional options, and in it the “Static IP” option. In the DNS 1 field, enter the address “8.8.8.8”, in DNS 2 – “8.8.4.4”.
  • In your router settings, change the MTU value to 1460. If this does not help, try 1420 or 1500. How to do this, look in the instructions for your router model.

You have a modified version of Play Market

To hack programs or bypass verification of the legality of applications, modified versions of Google programs have been developed in which verification is disabled. However, Google, of course, blocks such illegal modifications.

What to do? Remove the “left” application and install the official one.

Strange situation

In any unclear situation, clear the cache! This is done through the standard application manager. Go to Settings, in the “General” section, select “Applications”. Find Google Play Services there, open it and select “Clear cache”. If this does not help, try deleting program data in the same section.
