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

Can't install and update apps from Play Store

I am rooted, currently using BlindIce v7.0 rom.
In the beggining Play Store did not load on first attempts. Now I can see my installed apps, and the ones to update, but when I hit "update" and "accept" it just stucks on "Downloading".
Same thing happens when I'm trying to install from the web interface.
The methods I tried:
- Stop Play Store app, clear data both from Store and download manager
- Sign out, and sign in to my Google acc
- Restart phone
- Turn phone off, battery out for some time, and then turn phone on
- Changing screen density
- Tried on mobile network, and various wifi networks
Sometimes some of these methods work, but none of them proved to be working all the time. Trying to find a permanent solution.
Please help if you can. Thanks in advance!

Did not use terminal emulator before, but will definitely try this at home.
Btw I wanted to add, that the phone is unlocked of course, but also S-ON (if it could be important).

It worked!!
Wow, would hit thanks again if I could!
Is this a permanent solution? Would You be kind to tell, what is the reason for this? Just for the heads up.

No, it is not a permanent solution, every time download falls, do this...

I have same problem, but I can download and install apps using mobile or Wi-Fi internet, but I can't always use them, so I need to repair my connection between PC and my Device. I'm using ReverseTethering and all I can do is brose sites from Opera, I can't download apps from market and I can't update my weather widget. I think, that only browser can understand that there is internet from PC.

I know it sounds strange, but its because the date and time aren't set correctly. Even if it's one minute off it'll cause issues. It's something to do with security; firewall will block some internet programs.
I set it to match internet time, then set it to auto update and it's been fine ever since.

are you talking about tablet time??i will check mine,also where do you set auto update??
thanks

if you want to change the settings of time's auto updating, go to Control Panel>Clock, Language and Region>Date and time>Internet Time (tab)> Change Settings there.. You must have checked the "Sychronise with an Internet time server" and the server must be "time.windows.com", then click "Update Now "and "Ok".
This will set your time auto update.

thanks for that,i did all that facebook app still no good,no content or news feed,just a blank page although i am logged in,never mind i can still access facebook through my browser,once again thanks

play store "no connection" error

Every now and then my play store doesn't work although everything else is working. What is the reason for this. It will say no connection I press retry over and over with no result. Also when I connect to WiFi it also sometimes doesn't work? Please help! [emoji29]

I have problem same with you. Maybe you can try to clear playstore cache and data, it's work for me.

But it's still happens every now and then I need a permanent fix

It happens to me too occasionally, over different phones, roms/stock firmwares and even internet sources...I thought that's just how the Play Store is and there's no fix to it...
You can try some solutions on the internet though and maybe one of them works for you, such as:
1 - deleting the cache as suggested by lietsen already
2 - check your phone's date and time settings
3 - delete your hosts file
4 - other fixes as suggested here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/play-store-problem-connection-how-to-fix-t2200442

I need help with 2 problems.

I have my Mix 2S for a week now and I'm very happy with it. But..
When ever I turn off the wireless at night time, it turns it's self back on.
I've gone through the settings and can find nothing to help with this problem
My other problem is with the Amazon app store. It installs just fine.
But non of my apps show up in it. I have tried lots of different versions, but non show my apps.
I can pick a app and it will install ok.
I am on the latest Miui global rom.
Thanks in advance

In order to install apps from the Amazon app store, you'll need to turn off MIUI optimization in Developer Settings and restart your phone.
Not sure about the Wireless one.

I had to give permission for amazon app store to "Install apps from unknown sources" it works now.
But the wireless bug is doing my head in.
I went out and set the phone to use mobile data. Only after a hour I noticed it was trying to connect to a wireless point GRRRR

Found out one has to turn off Auto connect doh
Now all is ok
