Remove your google account by going to the settings for your device, then accounts and google. Hit remove account. Reboot your android and add the account once again. Next, in the settings, go to apps (applications) and swipe to find ‘all' of your apps. Scroll down to google services, then click clear data and finally force stop.

Error 498

Problem:

Interruption of downloads from the google play store

Solution:

The problem is that the cache of your device is full. Delete unneeded applications and files. Restart your smartphone in recovery mode by pressing the volume down, power and home buttons (for samsung devices) or volume down and power (for most other devices). This mode provides a few more options. Select wipe cache partition by navigating between options with the volume rocker. Confirm using the power button.

Problem:

downloading the app works but it does not open once downloaded.

Solution:

There is simply no more space on your android. Eliminate all unnecessary data: Music, videos or large applications.

Downloading applications or updates is impossible. If you use a proxy, remember that it may cause problems with the operation of the google play store.

Solution:

In settings, find apps, then swipe to all. Scroll down to google services and tap on clear data and then force stop. Do the same with the google play store app and clear the cache from your internet browser.

Error 923

Problem

The download is impossible: Error while syncing your google account or insufficient cache memory.

Solution

Remove your google account and delete any useless applications that are just taking up space. Next, reboot your device in recovery mode. Select wipe cache partition and start your device as usual. Don't worry, your personal data won't be deleted. Set up your google account once again.

Error 921

Problem

You can't download an app.

Solution

Try deleting the cache of the google play store application. If this doesn't work, delete all the play store application data, but please be advised that this will consequently delete all the settings that you've already made. As a last resort, remove your google account, restart the device and enter it again.

Error 403

Problem

The download is impossible. This usually happens when two google accounts are used to buy applications on one device.

Solution

Go the google play store with the correct google account. Uninstall the application in question. Next try to get the app from google play again and click the purchase button.

Error 492

Problem

It's impossible to install an application due to the dalvik cache.

Solution

Under settings, find apps, then swipe to all and scroll down to google services. Here, select clear data and then force stop. Do the same on the google play store app.

Note: If the problem is not solved, try deleting the dalvik cache. To do this, enter the custom recovery mode (only if you have root). Another solution is to complete a data wipe/ factory reset. This option applies to all users and can be done in recovery mode. Beware, it will wipe your data so make sure you have backed up everything you wish to keep.

Error 927

Problem

The download is impossible because an update of the play store is in progress.

Android Doesn't Manage Processes Like Windows!


Most Android users are familiar with Windows. On Windows, many programs running at one time – whether they’re windows on your desktop or applications in your system tray – can decrease your computer’s performance. Closing applications when you’re not using them can help speed up your Windows computer.


However, Android isn't Windows and doesn't manage processes like Windows does. Unlike on Windows, where there’s an obvious way to close applications, there’s no obvious way to "close" an Android application. This is by design and isn't a problem. When you leave an Android app, going back to your home screen or switching to another app, the app stays "running" in the background. In most cases, the app will be paused in the background, taking up no CPU or network resources. Some apps will continue using CPU and network resources in the background, of course - for example, music players, file-downloading programs, or apps that sync in the background.


When you go back to an app you were recently using, Android "unpauses" that app and you resume where you left off. This is fast because the app is still stored in your RAM and ready to be used again.


Why Task Killers Are Bad
Proponents of task killers notice that Android is using a lot of RAM - in fact, Android stores a lot of apps in its memory, filling up the RAM! However, that isn’t a bad thing. Apps stored in your RAM can be quickly switched to without Android having to load them from its slower storage.


In summary, you shouldn't use a task killer - if you have a misbehaving app wasting resources in the background, you should identify it and uninstall it. But don’t just remove apps from your phone or tablet’s RAM - that doesn't help speed anything up.
Empty RAM is useless. Full RAM is RAM that is being put to good use for caching apps. If Android needs more memory, it will force-quit an app that you haven’t used in a while - this all happens automatically, without installing any task killers.


Task killers think they know better than Android. They run in the background, automatically quitting apps and removing them from Android's memory. They may also allow you to force-quit apps on your own, but you shouldn’t have to do this.


Task killers aren't just useless - they can reduce performance. If a task killer removes an app from your RAM and you open that app again, the app will be slower to load as Android is forced to load it from your device's storage. This will also use more battery power than if you just left the app in your RAM in the first place. Some apps will automatically restart after the task killer quits them, using more CPU and battery resources.


Whether RAM is empty or full, it takes the same amount of battery power - decreasing the amount of apps stored in RAM won’t improve your battery power or offer more CPU cycles.


Hope you understood...
Go into settings - apps and see how many running apps you have. Now go to cached apps and see there, how many apps there are. you see? Nearly 50% of those apps discovered by you in the processes are apps that you didn't opened ever but they are still opened and running. Why? Because that's how linux manages its resources. Instead of having free ram for no use (what's the point of having 14gb of ram when you only use 1gb), linux fills all the ram blocks with useful apps or apps that you are running frequently so that when you call that app, it will bring it on the screen almost instantly. This is called multitasking.
And you are wrong if you use a task killer killing the apps every 10 minutes, the cycles the whole system does - opening again apps and caching them, task killer closing them - results in much more functions done by CPU => more battery spent. Even if you say that the battery life is the same, you are wrong. When using a task killer IT MIGHT drain your battery with 0.1% per hour. It's not that much, but IT EXIST.


Oh and one more thing: Android has its own task killer. That's why you don't need one app to kill your other apps because Android is doing it by itself. If you don't believe that, strip down one kernel, open the init.rc file and find the values for task killer. :wink:

 

Some reactions...

1- Auto killing apps is plain stupid, but I do believe in killing certain apps. In a perfect world heavy apps would just be uninstalled, but plenty of useful apps without good replacements are fairly heavy, and it helps to kill them. E.g. after exiting a game I will kill it because its hogging up valuable ram by running in the background, while still using he same resources it uses at the forefront.

I understand that android, and Linux should manage ram well, but more often then not some app is just out there slowing my phone down. Even an hour later of not using that app, it'll still be in the background using up a lot of CPU and ram I don't have (more importantly battery). Android is great at managing smaller apps, but in my experience, it sucks at doing the same for larger apps.


2- I don't use automatic task killers, those that are constantly running, but i do kill unused tasks and apps with no reason to be still running. Google services is a common example. It will launch at boot and keep running peemanently, even if you never launch a google app, google services is running, why?

A lot of apps, mostly the free ones, get revenue by reporting anonymous usage statistics (not so anonymous in some cases). So they stick a running service even if the app is never launched again (sometimes even if it isn't launched in the first place).

To sum up, killing everything is bad, but leaving everything to run free can also decrease performance. This can be observed on an android device that has been running for a long time, versus an android device that's just been reset.

Android version history:

The version history of the Android mobile operating system began with the release of the Android alpha in November 2007. The first commercial version, Android 1.0, was released in September 2008. Android is continually developed by Google and the Open Handset Alliance (OHA), and has seen a number of updates to its base operating system since the initial release.

Versions 1.0 and 1.1 were not released under specific code names, but since April 2009's Android 1.5 "Cupcake", Android versions have had confectionery-themed code names. Each is in alphabetical order, with the most recent being Android 9.0 "Pie", released in August 2018.
