I have an unstable network connection through mobile data. I need to update a huge game but the download stops around halfway and when I try to redownload, it resets back to 0%. Is it really how play store works? Is there a workaround aside from basic trobuleshooting like clearing cache or data, without having to root?

No, Google Play Store doesn't support Resume capability..
The only way is downloading the game from 3rd party websites (Google it)

This has been an ongoing problem for me across every ROM and each one seems to handle it slightly differently. On first boot after doing a clean install of any ROM, whether it's AOSP or TW, the Play Store will never connect properly. On AOSP, clearing Play Store and Google Services data and restarting does the trick. Right now I'm on JellyBeans 20, which on a clean install will only connect to play store after clearing data on Play Store and Google Services, restarting, and then adding my Google account again. This usually works. On any 4.3 TW ROM I've tried flashing, I've been unable to get the Play Store to connect, attempting every trick I've seen posted such as modifying/deleting the hosts file and clearing data.
The only thing I haven't done yet is restore to stock and start over. Is there a reason this is happening to me?

If you have Titanium backup app, open up the app and see if it prompts you to restore your old ID? if it does, then select restore the old ID, phone will reboot and see if that works.
Just got a Nexus 5 phone, now I'm trying to download all 50 of my apps simultaneously over my wifi connection. After my phone downloaded about five apps I got a 920 error. I tried clearing data/cache for the Google Play Store app. That didn't work. Next I tried clearing the Google Framework data/cache. After that the Play Store was unable to connect to the internet via wifi or cellular 4G LTE so I did a factory reset on my phone. Now I can't download any of my apps at all. I'm still getting a 920 error. Is there a bug in the Play Store app that prevents large batches of app downloads? How do I fix this? Help please!
It appears that if you download enough apps at the same time to make the Play Store app crash (it doesn't take much) then Google will temporarily block you from downloading any apps from the app store, apparently because downloading large amounts of apps in a short time is suspicious activity. The first time I started getting the 920 error, the Play Store started working for me after about 20 minutes. I tried to download my apps again. After a few app downloads I started getting the 920 error again. Very frustrating. Has anyone else experienced this pattern? Does anyone have a solution to this? I'm sure I'm not the only Android user that has accumulated a massive collection of apps over time. Especially considering I've been using Android since the beginning of time (former Nexus One user).
I know this has been asked before, but nothing seems to work. Google play simply refuses to download or update any apps, it says downloading, and the downloading progress bar shows in the notification panel, but the percentage does not come up and no matter how long I wait, it doesn't finish. This is on my mother's Samsung Galaxy s3 Mini, 4.2.2, and unfortunately not rooted (unfortunately meaning I feel the problem would probably be easier to fix with root, haha). It works fine on WiFi, I have even tried to "jump start" it by starting an app download with WiFi, then quickly switching to mobile. I've cleared play data, cache, uninstalled updates, stopped/cleared data for download manager, same with play services + uninstalled updates, forced my current versions of google play and play services onto her phone to ensure she would have the latest version, removed and readded her Google account, tried other apps, restarted the phone multiple times during the uninstallations and clearing data, toggled airplane mode, booted the phone without data after wiping Play data and cache and starting it FIRST with WiFi, then switching to data, hit update/install with airplane mode on to force error 923 (mainly to see if errors could still be triggered, or if the downloading bar would continue to attempt downloading), tried a different Google account, force killed download manager while a download was pending for Google play + relaunched Google play.... I've tried everything I can think of except for a factory reset, which is ridiculously stupid if that's the only solution.
Edit: Things got interesting. As a process of elimination, I used Chrome to download a random image online. Same as Google Play, the downloading bar and arrow showed up, but will not download. Seems the problem lies deeper within the download manager.... on a nonrooted android, what are my choices to fix this?
Edit (again): Finally got download manager to download things online, but google play store seems to "lock it up", meaning when I try to install on the play store, the installation never actually finishes, and afterwards download manager will no longer work online for random images and files. It's as if something is stuck.

Try the following:
Update your phone's firmware.
Update Playstore.
Try clearing cache using Recovery Mode.
Use 3rd party app.
Try updating using a specific custom ROM for your device.
If all else failed. Try Formatting.

Thanks for the tips! I'll give them a go tomorrow
Play store is supposed to do one thing. To download apps into your phone. And it doesn't.
Whenever I try to download smt, the bar keeps going endlessly, and it says downloading, but nothing happens, like actually downloading the damn thing, or showing percentage progress, nothing. If I pull down the notification bar, it says downloading is paused. Awesome. Things I tried so far and that everybody would other wise suggest I do: Deleted cache and data for Play Store, deleted cache and data for Play services, Deleted cache for Download manager, cleared data and cache for Google Services framework, force stop play store, force stop download manager, rebooting device several times during process, deleting Google account, making new account, Factory reset, reset app preferences (which does nothing btw, I don't even know why it's there), changed from wifi to data etc. The phone is not rooted, the memory is not full.
So the quiestion is: Is it just me or Android started sucking big hairy balls since Lolipop 5.0?

Since I got my Fold 2, the main issue I have is with Google Play Store. It keeps crashing. Sometimes it launches and I can use it but 90% of the time it crashes at launch. I tried everything I know. Updating, downgrading, cleaning cache. But it doesn't solve the issue. I don't want to do a full reset. Any idea? Thanks.
That is an issue with the Play Store on all devices sometimes, whenever Google decides to be trash (experienced this for a while on my S9+ back then). You don't have to Factory Reset your device at all. Just force stop the Google Play Store, clear the data of the Google Play Store, enable the ability to see System Apps in the apps list, and then go to Google Play Services and stop it (if you can) and clear data & cache as well (if only cache, then do that). Then reboot your device.
