Can someone please solve this problem as it has been giving lots of grief over several years . There have been lots of tries that present work-about's to solve the problem .--- Installing programs , removing app data , removing cashe data, Stopping google services and Google Play . I have tried lots with some success but recently it has got worse and tried and tested ones now fail to work any more .
I suspect that the information that the installer looks at is not being updated when apps are removed etc . My system suggests there is 200Mb free . This problem does not appear to be confined to any version of Android or Hardware . The only common factor is loading and updating apps via Google Play
I hope someone with a better understanding of the Android operating system can locate the problem so a proper solution can be found

since four days youtube app is not working on galaxy 3. troubleshooting already done as follows without luck :
cleared the app cache --no luck
uninstalled the updates and reinstalled the app --no luck
the app loads everything like comments and even the adds run ok but when it comes to running the video it shows
"problem while running the video". nothing is working. so is it youtubes internal technical problem or has it stopped supporting
older phones so as to force hardware upgrades?
shall be obliged if anybody can through some light on this problem.
sorry to bother u guys
youtube is back online again from yesterday
guess it was some internal technical problem
Hey everyone,
Title says it all really over the past few days over several devices and different users in my household we have noticed that Google play store isn't working properly, we are receiving errors, connections issues and general problems overall.
I contacted Google who didn't do much in all honesty and they advised me to clear the cache for the app on my phone and clear data on both app and googleplay services, which I have done but since doing so my okay store loads but I get the error message check you connection and try again.
I have reinstalled the app using the apk on here and still the same problem.
I'm not to worried about it as I'm pretty sure the problem lies with Google especially since its happening in several device (using different accounts and same accounts)
Is there a fix for this or is it Google causing the fault as I have searched the net and found people with similar issues. (isitdownrightnow.com)
Many thanks

Got this one solved for you mate, had the same problem.......... All to do with automatic time and date being out of sync with the play store. Go to time and date settings disable the automatic time zone and automatic time and date. change the date manually to say....the same date but 2013. go back to home, then go back to date and time settings, enable both time zone and time & date auto's, and hey presto........play store's back to normal.
happy days
What do you mean when you say "not working"? Do you get an error message? Does it simply crash/force close?
Did you do something to the devices between the Play Store working and not working? Did you change your internet setup somehow? Did you move to a different country? Did you start worshiping Lord Xenu?
Play Store needs to be a system app. You say you reinstalled it, so I'll assume your devices have root. When you sideload an app it installs as a "user" app. Play Store needs to be a system app. Use whatever app you used to uninstall it to change it to a system app (most root apps that can uninstall system apps have this feature...if what you used doesn't, you can find ones that will, some free). If this isn't the cause of your problem, we'll need more info to help you.

Recently got the unlocked Galaxy S6 but every time I've tried to download large apps (Asphalt 8 and Monument Valley) from the Play Store I've been getting an error 905. I've erased cache and cleared data from the Play Store but it keeps doing it. Had to refund Monument Valley, in fact. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I've got the 32GB version by the way. I've searched for this error but it seems to only have affected old devices where internal memory was a problem.
Edit: I solved this by keeping the screen on while downloading and installing Asphalt 8 and not using the device till it had finished installing.

Is it the Play Store being FC'd due to RAM being full?

Yeah i think so poor ram management and 5.0 memory leak issues all have summed up hoping a fix soon in 5.1

In my case the Play Store was not force closing, no. But I figured it could be related to memory leak issues since everything worked when I kept the play store on top and did not use the phone. And yes, hopefully it will be fixed with the 5.1 update.
Edit: I am the OP and have just remembered my old account.
Sometimes my Galaxy freezes and reboots when I install or update something from Play Store, I think that is a RAM issue.
i have the same issue...i can't download mortal kombat x!! are you disable screen sleep?
I have a completely different phone (LG Optimus L1 II, Android 4.1.2) and I found this thread while looking for the solution. It could be a problem with the current version of google play, since it happens on different devices with different android versions.
Edit: I found more threads about this by looking at the google results for the error 905 on the last week:
google.c om/search?q=google+play+error+905&tbs=qdr:w
(this is my second post, so I can't add links yet. remove the space on the .com)
I think that doing any system-related thing (installing an application, enabling root for an app, etc) makes the error show up
clear the cache and data of your play store app, and then restart your device. you can find detailed guide and explanation about this on http://technogiga.com/how-to-solve-error-905-in-android/
I've got the same problem on my Note 4 on KitKat... So it's probably something with the Play Store not Android.

In my case this did not work, however, keeping the device awake and staying on the same screen worked. I guess it's a memory problem.

Might be a Samsung problem.
If you read the thread, someone had the problem on their G3. So obviously it's either Android or Play Store causing the problem. I'm guessing it's the Play Store because it's happening across different Android versions.
Error 905
This happens after the new playstore update if we keep the screen on and stay on the play store the download completes
Tried with the old playstore version this problem doesnt arises :crying:
I am on Android 5.0.2 (LG G2) and the same thing happened to me. I followed the advise of keeping the screen on and keeping Play Store in the foreground and it worked.
Ive had this problem since day one, i try everthing, clearing cache, reinstalling the playstore, removing my google account, hard reset the phone, everything and after all that and the tests that i made i came up to notice that the problem was the memory, once the phone reach a high memory usage the playstore will close and the download will fail, if u keep ur phone with out ram consuming apps ull be able to download any apps without the need to keep the screen on and the playstore active.. so this an android problem to me and the memory management on lolipop.
so what's the best solution?

Theres no actual sulotion, u cant just try to clear the memory and then try to download the apps u need or u can just leave the screen on and put the playstore on top of all and dont use the phone at all. untill the app that u need has finish downloading.
same problem here on s6 and z3... so its a playstore issue
i have the same error
unable to download mortal kombat x too
Lately, 504 errors in the Google Play Store have eliminated my ability to recommend this phone. None of the usual fixes work.
Apps that I've had the problem with are:
Evernote
Runtastic Me (after a recent update)
Waze (version 4)
Maybe it is something the app developers are doing that doesn't work with the hardware, but I'm afraid of what the next app may be that I'm stuck unable to update.
Update: this has been resolved by the latest update from Gionee/BLU
Is it Google Play Store causing the problems (installing/updating apps) or is it the apps you mentioned (crashing, etc.)?
Have you started getting them all of a sudden out of nowhere? I've started to have Google Play Services issues with Google Play Music, but that was after fixing permissions in TWRP.
Maybe something you've done recently caused it (installation, file corruption, root/xposed modding) if TWRP is not the cause.
I'll assume you've already tried to clear app data & caches, and maybe uninstalling/reinstalling them. If nothing else works, you can always resort to a factory reset of the phone if you are willing to give up everything.
I've done everything short of a factory reset. I read where another user had the issue with evernote, so I specifically tried installing evernote to test.
I haven't rooted or used a custom recovery with this phone.
I put this in general more for information purposes and to maybe compile a list of apps others run into this with, but if anyone's fixed it, I'd appreciate knowing what they had to do.
Will try APK or Amazon for offending apps soon.
No luck with Amazon, either, so it isn't a play store issue
Got the same 504 error when installing Waze 4.0.

Even manually installing the Waze 4.0 apk gives a generic "App not installed" error. Perhaps there's an incompatibility with this phone.

I think I've had the same problem before when installing a different (free) app. What I did was Google for an older version of the .apk file, then kept trying to install it to my phone until I found an old enough version that is willing to be installed. I was able to update to the latest version automatically without any problems after that.
Hope that helps!
Looks like Runtastic Pro 6.7 is getting added to the list. It may be some API that developers are using that isn't compiling properly on this phone... I hope it gets fixed
Reply from BLU support is that it is a known issue and an update is in the works.
I heard that something happened during the updates (like for Waze) that is causing issues for people with Mediatek CPU's, it does not seem to be intentional though as a fix seems to be in the works.
You can add app "omnivox" with the same error. Right for me it's omnivox and waze.
There was a recent gionee e8 update that hopefully resolves this and will (also hopefully) be ported to us soon.
Glad they're looking into it but this is really disappointing. Makes me want to finally break down and just get an S7 on T-Mo's payment plan.
Got the same problem here.
Hi guys, i just got the BLU pure XL and happen to me the same thing with waze, plus another app MapaRadar. They both cant install trough Play Store. I try installing old versions (waze 3.4 3.5 3.6 3.7 3.8 ..) only one time works. and then suddenly stopped. and it closes itself every time.
Update got the same 504 error.
I got another problem that after starting using play store to install other apps and update the existing ones (chrome, maps, framework..) the play store become unstable , closing itself most of the time. Since i have TWRP i manage to restore my original backup.
I did not update my apps on the play store. at least it stop to get play store app close itself.
If anyone like to share any alternative options until BLU team fix it.
Hi every body,
I have the Allview X2 xtreme the EU version of the Blu pure XL, and i have the same problem waze update return 504 error. Mine is TWRP and rooted.
I be able to install an older version of waze by apk, works fine for few days, now it's always looking for GPS signal....
Evernote too.
I have another problem with push notification who didnt work with 50% of m'y applications.
It works for :SMS, messenger, Facebook, snapchat but not for apps like instagram le monde, bfmtv, le parisien, le figaro...
I already perform hard reset.
Sorry for m'y English,
A french friend !
I justt flashed the gionee rom, mainly to see how it is for daily use, but also to check the IMEI corruption and mobile data issues (i experienced none of either) and on a whim I tried to install waze, and it installs fine (on the blu firmware I had previously had 504 error, as well had other apps just "app not installed")
so possibly gionee already had a fix for this?
Got an update this morning, and the problem seems to be fixed. Only about a week behind gionee, so not bad.
Hello XDA!
So here's the situation:
I used to have the Navigon app on my phone for navigation purposes and it was great, but then end of 2020 they (Navigon/Garmin) pulled the plug on the map/update/authorization servers. Even for users who paid for the product! I found this out the hard way when I reinstalled Navigon and it wanted to authorize the app for use (and couldn't find the servers)...
So since then I've been looking for another GPS app to take its place (OR a patched version of Navigon with the latest map set before they shut everything down that I could still continue to use the app)... It ticks me off that I won't be able to use it anymore. Oh well I guess it was worth the money for the years of use I got out of it....
I found Sygic GPS which seemed to be a competent package. The app installs fine from the Google Play Store, BUT it says something along the lines of "Something went wrong, restart the app" - it seems it can't reach the servers or something. I have tried sideloading the app as well and it still throws the same error. does anyone here know what is up with that?
Yes I also contacted the company that makes Sygic but they couldn't tell me anything useful either.
I can't spend money on an app that doesn't want to work.
So as it stands right now I don't really have a good usable GPS app for when I need it (no I don't like Google Maps)
Any help would be appreciated.
Looks to me the error is caused due to data storage and cache issues on your Android device.

Thank you for the suggestion, it's much appreciated.
However, I've tried installing it on my tablet as well and it throws the same error (both Google Play Store version and sideloaded version) the tablet is also Android 6.0.
I have given the app "all permissions" possible to allow it to use storage etc. but it hasn't worked....
I've Sygic GPS Navigation in use on my Huawei 7 ( 2019 ) running Android 8.1 ( EMUI ): It installed and runs perfectly.
Okay so, no one knows what may be causing this issue for me that I cannot run Sygic without it failing on Android 6.0.1? I have tried enabling Places services (GPS) in the phone settings and giving all permissions to the app, but it still fails to get to the point where you get to choose internal or external storage for the data (maps).
I know I can "just" put in the latest LineageOS and everything would be just fine (Sygic runs fine on an S5 with LineageOS 18.1) but it would be a lot of work to get that done backing up and transferring data and stuff, so IF there is a way to get the phone to behave with Sygic it would be very nice....
Any help is appreciated!
