Open the Google Play Store. On the top right corner you have a menu, go into settings and deselect the update over wifi only option.
P_

did you fix it? im having the same problem here and i dont know how to fix it... already deleted all of the play store data, still nothing...

does it say it is downloading and the progress bar keeps going but no percentage? I've had this too. just reboot once and open up play store, it should resume automatically.
yeah, also uncheck wi-fi only.

Unable to update/download from Google Play/Market
Hi Guys,
I too have been having this problem from the past month.
It works fine on a WiFi connection, but not on data.
I have tried every remedy I cud find, but no joy
1: Clear data/cache method
2: Uninstall/Reboot method
3: Sign in/out method
4: Tried a different Sim card
5: Tried a different g mail account
6: Rollback to Android Market
7: Factory reset
8: Conferred with the service provider (Vodafone)
9: Got the tab updated at an authorized Samsung center.
10: Google Play support (They suck)
I don't think there is anything I haven't tried.
Downloads on the browser work fine, Its just Google play that's acting up.
The status just gets stuck on 'Downloading' and then stops with error 495.
If anyone has had a breakthrough with a fix apart from the ones listed above...please share.
Thank you.

Use search. Plenty of topics on error 495, no need for another.

anyone had any luck..
I too am facing the same problem.. not able to download anything via 3G but working fine on Wifi.
Let me know if anyone was successful.

I never had a problem with 3G on Play Store, in fact I prefer it rather than Wi-Fi.
Try updating your Play Store to the latest one.
Check your mobile settings. Your APNs and all.
Can't really tell a solution because I haven't experience it at all. I'm just here to say that it works great on mine. Even from a fresh clear data on the application(No settings or whatsoever in Play Store options applied).

I'm having the same problem with my N800 Note tablet. Sees the apps in Play Store but the download progress bar jut says downloading with no progress. Download over WiFi only has been disabled.

Check the eee Pad Transformer Q&A threads for error (495). Mcdeep from Pretoria had a fix. (I'd post the link but I'm too itty-bitty on this forum atm. )
Mcdeep said:
I finally managed to solve the problem. Just follow these steps, but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too. Let me know.

I have a Note (N-7000) and was having this issue. Found a solution on another forum and it worked for me.
I had actually tinkered with the background data settings to restrict it for some apps. It included Google Play Store as well. Whien I uncheked background data for Play store, the downloads still DID NOT work.
After some search, I found that the 'Media' process should also have background Data enabled for Google Play to work on 3G/Data connection. I had restricted background data for this process as well. After removing the restriction on Background data for both 'Media' & 'Play' Store, I am now able to download over 2G/3G connection as well.
The 'Update over Wifi' setting had nothing to do with the issue apparently.

plus all the google related app must not be data restricted they create problem in one way or other (

Finally solved the problem
Google Play Store is working fine in my Micromax Nitro A310 with 2G mobile data and wi fi but not when on 3G. I tried every trick & tip found in this forum and elsewhere over the internet like enabling background data, clearing cache, clearing data, logging in & logging out, clearing APN proxy and even factory reset. Nothing worked for me. Here's how I resolved this problem.
I use Airtel 3G. In the Access Point Name (APN) settings under "data bearer" default action selected is "not specified". Select "LTE" here. It worked for me

New solution for play Store & Account problems

New solution for play Store & Account problems market" with no server message and by clicking TRY one thousand time, and the other problem when try to login on with GMAIL and receive a message " NO CONNECTION ESTABLISH... etc "
1. First of all you have to forget your WI-FI connection.
2. Turn your mobile into " Portable Wi-Fi hotspots "
3. Connect with your XOOM.
For " PLAY STORE " :
1. Setting > apps > play store .
2. Clear cache .
3. Force close.
3. Open " PlayStore " , now it should be open.
Then, go back to the setting:
1. Account & syncs.
2. Add ACCOUNT.
Note: you can open both with Wi-Fi later.
Now it should be open.
The question for xda developers is why it's work with the portable Wi-Fi hotspot and not with normal WI-FI NETWORK??
Sorry For my POOR ENGLISH
THANKS REGARDS

what worked for me was to temporarily use the cellular network connection and then switch back to wifi. i also opened port 5228 on my router.
not sure why this problem started, it occurs on both stock and cm.

MLB at Bat: Unable to Reliably Verify Location

This is more just a how to.
MLB at Bat app for Android did an update, and the app is now checking to see if "mock gps" is enabled. If it is, the app will not do allow any video playback--live or archived. It'll give you a mesage "unable to reliably verify your location". I found out the what the error meant from some page on MLB.com; they also give instructions how how to undo the mock location. The last version not to check is 1.20.
I saw quite a few people complaining in Google Play/market they're unable to view video. This is why.
Some people used apps, such as FakeGPS, to circumvent blackout rules to watch thier local team or some national game, such as Sunday Night Baseball on ESPN, while on the go. It's still possible to use gps spoofer with MLB at Bat, it just takes more steps. I found a sollution that appears to be working for me on a HTC Evo 4G. I haven't tested thoroughly with live games, but does work with NFL Game Pass in the USA. Here are the steps:
1) turn on your GPS spoofer (say FakeGPS). Set location.
2) open up Google Maps, and load it's map location. It should load your fake location. This will put the location into the phone
3) turn off GPS spoofer. close app
4) disable "allow GPS mocking." look in applications, developer tools section
The fake GPS location will still remain in the phone. I can speak of other other GPS spoofers, but FakeGPS will prompt one to enable GPS mocking, if it is not already, when you open the app. You can now open MLB at Bat and watch video.

tried it on my S3, no luck.

I tried the method above on a blacked out live game, no go on the Evo 4G. It's obviously checking the location every time you load a game. It's not just checking the GPS location loaded into the phone.
The method worked for 2011 Game Pass which only checked when loading the app. The 2012 version checks your IP instead.

like you, said you cant have mock location checked, to watch plays till someone finds an way around it. you cant even use the website to watch game either

The best way I have found, for Android and/or PC, is to signup for a cheap VPN service, it doesn't have to be a fancy fast VPN service just as long as they have servers/IPs outside your area. Since it will be only used to authenticate your location and not for long game streaming.
The trick is to connect to the VPN first.
Open 'MLB at Bat' or 'mlb.com' and start to watch your game.
Let it authenticate and buffer/stream some of the game.
After few seconds of streaming the game, disconnect the VPN and you should be home free.
It will hick up for few seconds or what not, you might have to reopen the app or refresh the pop-up page to get it streaming again.

Side-stepping the in/out-of-market issues, you should go to settings and under developer options make sure "allow mock locations" is turned off. The app will not allow you to watch any games at all if that is turned on.

This is bull****. I pay $25 a month for the service. Do they honestly think the majority of people want to watch out of market games. I mean sure if you are on vacation or moved out of state but most of us want our teams on our devices in places where we don't have access to TV's. I'm about to call and cancel now that they pulled this.

This works for PC but not for Android. You cannot set proxy in Android to make the AtBat app work.

This process works on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus running Android 4.2.2.

works here
I moved the fakeGPS app into the /system/app folder and rebooted, and turned off Allow mock locations. Works like a charm now. Didn't even need to install a VPN or anything.

Thank you jram. Got it working because of you

Mlb
Thanks , I'm up and running as well on Galaxy S3

<2013> Working Steps
1) Install Root Explorer, FakeGPS, AtBat App
2) Using Root Explorer, move FakeGPS from /data/app to /system/app
3) Disable Mock Locations (if enabled)
4) Open FakeGPS and set your location (I prefer to use one outside of the country)
5) Open Google Maps and verify Google Apps have access to location.
6) Click on the GPS icon to center the map on your FakeGPS location.
7) Open AtBat and load the video
If something goes wrong:
I've found that forcing the AtBat app to stop and clearing the cache works.
1) Close AtBat
2) Open Settings/Apps
3) Force Close/Clear Cache for AtBat App
4) Set FakeGPS location
5) Open Google Maps and verify your fake location is shown
6) Open AtBat and load the video
If the above doesn't work:
1) Restart into Recovery
2) Clear Cache/Dalvik Cache
3) Restart Device
4) Follow the original steps 4-7
I hope this helps!

came here to troubleshoot a problem i'm having with this:
Put Fake GPS into System/App; turned off Mock Locations in Developer in Settings
Fired up Fake GPS (have the GPS setting in "settings" turned on; I've also tried it in the off position)
Cleared cache/ restarted At Bat
Did not get an indication from Google Maps that the fake location was turning up
Got a "you're in the blackout area" message from At Bat
Coincidentally I've used Location Spoofer's IP and GPS spoofer the same way with the same problem. I've attempted to use the app to send a fake network/ IP signal and the fake GPS signal. I've also tried to switch both of those signals off (in case the app sends the signal regardless of whether these are checked).
I suspect I have something set up wrong because these should be the only two ways the signal can get to MLB. Also just tried clear/ dalvik cache Any advice?
edit: I've discarded my login info by selecting the "delete data" setting, and i think it worked.

Thank you jram505 and imninsomniac! I've been struggling with this not working for a few days without any spoofer installed, I didn't realize there was a new "check" for mock locations... I forgot it was even enabled!
These instructions worked with an added step. After moving FakeGPS to /system/app the app would crash when I tried to open it, until I rebooted.
Now if we can just get the Chi Sox winning

I'm still in shock that their support couldn't figure this out for me (sorry if this is slightly off topic). Why couldn't the message for video playback have been "Due to mock locations being enabled ..." plus they are getting beat up in the ratings some because of this.

Hate sounding like a dum dum, but how does one move an app into /system/app? Never done it before.
Edit: Somehow missed the instructions right above. Wanting to avoid tinkering with the root stuff, I downloaded an app on Play called "/system/app mover" that looks like it does everything for me. Using the app, I selected location spoofer and moved it to /system/app, it automatically made me reboot, then I confirmed that I can use the location spoofer with mock unchecked. Can't test to see if my local game actually works until tomorrow. Thanks for this thread!

I've moved it but I get the At Bat app crashing when trying to load a stream. Any ideas?

It may be possible to do this without moving FakeGPS. I tried, but I couldn't find it in the data/app directory. But I did find this on the FakeGPS site
[QUOTE="FakeGPS fake]Q: It doesn't work with MLB At Bat!
MLB At Bat uses double check of your location: GPS location + GeoIP location. The second one means they can get your rough location by your IP address (issued by your local internet provider) and black you out so. The only way to cope with it is using Fake GPS paired with a VPN service that could replace your external IP address with a new one. But if the new IP address match an area which is blacked out too you'd try to use another VPN provider[/QUOTE]
This is more tricky to pull off because off, but I've had success on my Galaxy Note 2 and ASUS Infinity Pad. When it loads successfully, it takes a good minute. This does require the use of a VPN.
1) open gps spoofer. pick a location (that correspondence with the VPN server you're going to use).
2) open google maps. this will load gps location into system.
3) open VPN. sign onto location server. this needs to match GPS fake location.
4) open MLB at Bat app. This will load GPS location into app.
5) go into settings, developer, shut off mock location. MLB app checks to see if this is enable first. Needs to be off or you get message about not being able to reliably check location. This may close your gps spoofer; should not be an issue because GPS location is already loaded into MLB
6) switch back to MLB at Bat. Pick black out game. Watch game
Basically, when you go to watch a game, MLB at Bat mobile is checking three things. For what I can tell, the order is 1) is mock location enable, 2) GPS location, 3) and IP address.
You can open the VPN and GPS spoofer in reverse order. I do it the order given because the VPN does take some bandwidth so it takes a bit longer for the maps to load. The big thing is making sure MLB doesn't reload after disabling mock location because there is risk it will rerun the GPS location and have your real GPS location. You'll have two issue. GPS location in black area, and IP not matching GPS location. If it does, stop MLB, clear cache, redo.
I've have used this on both ASUS and Note 2 to watch the As play live at home which is only about twenty miles away from my home.

Lost all old wifi ssids after install of new rom

Hello all,
While going through the initial set up stage of a new rom on my Galaxy S2 I wasn't able to connect to my wifi, the rom simply didn't see any wifi points so I carried on and skipped the Google account bit as I didn't want any settings or apps being downloaded over 3G.
Once the rom was set up I was able to connect to my home wifi and then entered my Google account details. I then downloaded all my apps but my list of previously connected wifi ssids has disappeared. Any other time I have installed a rom, and that is many on quite a few phones, the list of wifi connections is always downloaded from Google along with all my other settings but I assume due to not connecting to wifi at the start of set up I haven't got any of my old wifi connections back. This includes my work wifi which is to say the least a pain to get set up.
Short of reinstalling the rom and hoping I can connect to wifi this time is there a way of downloading my old wifi connection details?

Sewrizer said:
ok. this is quite simple IF you restored the old rom.
enter recovery mode, go in backup and restore, choose restore then restore the rom in which you had all the SSIDs.
now go in play store and download "WiFi Pass Recovery & Backup"(free software). it will tell you all the passwords from the networks you connected to in the past. just write them down on a paper or in notepad, re-flash the desired rom and when you are in the area of any network you can connect using the password you wrote down. i can't think of another method. hit thanks if this helped.
good luck:laugh:

Yeah I had thought of that method but was hoping for something a little simpler! LOL. Thanks anyway, this looks like the only way to do this.

This works but TrustGo Inc. Antivirus & Mobile Security tells me that it may collect privacy information like IMEI, device model and email account.
Better use this one without security issues: WiFi Key Recovery :good:

Problem solved. I reinstalled the rom but instead of selecting "Reboot" at the end of the install I held the power button in until the phone then went back into recovery. I then installed the latest Dorimanx kernel and rebooted. Dori 9.12 seems to have problems picking up wifi whereas 9.13 has no problems. My home wifi was picked up at the start of the set up and from then on Google reinstalled apps and settings. Or at least is in the process of doing so!
I was a little worried as skipping the wifi set up at the start of my first install meant that there was no email address in the Backup and Restore field within Settings so although the backup and restore boxes were ticked without an email account they may as well have been unticked.. No way to add an email address either.
Thanks for the suggestions, as ever very helpful folks on XDA!

improve location accuracy popup dialog

There are 3 location settings,
1. GPS, Wi-Fi and mobile networks – this lets Google use any of these to find your location even if Wi-Fi or location is turned off. When this is switched on, you’ll often find Google Play Services is one of the biggest issues.
2. Wi-Fi and mobile networks – this disables the GPS chip inside your Galaxy S6 Edge and is probably the least useful of the three options. Relying on just mobile networks and Wi-Fi will allow you to find your location quickly but will then use a lot of data and battery as it relies on your Wi-Fi and mobile networks to keep track of your location.
3. GPS only – this is actually the mode I use as it prevents Google scanning in the background (more on that below). It has its pitfalls in that it can take a while to find your location but the battery savings from not having Google scanning are plentiful.
We know that option 1 and 2 could lead to extreme battery drain because Google uses the location manager and wake up the device. When you attempt to turn on either the first or the second option, you’re greeted with a prompt from Google to “Improve location accuracy”. The option means that anonymous location data can sporadically be sent to Google even when no apps are running, and as a result, this can have a large impact on your battery life, especially when using Google Now or widgets that depend on location. If I choose one of these options I do not see the dialog anymore. Maybe I accidentally clicked "don' t show again".
How can I get the dialog back???
When I enable the locations, it is always set to option 1, even if I had 3 the last time. Anybody else have this problem??

Go to the settings in Google +

Yes thank you, I know that. But every time when I set option 3 and switch location on/off it is always set to option 1 again. Did you even read my post?

Go to apps, google framework services, clear data and cache. I has the same problem, not because of battery drain but because I don't want to do the dirt job of mapping wifi networks for google. I'll like to do it, but just if google ASKS for it
