N5 KK4.4.3 / Stock ROM & Stock kernel / Rooted (SupeSU 1.94) / PhilzTouch6 6.15.4 custom recovery (CWM 6.0.4.7)
Play Store build v 4.8.20. / Play Services 4.4.52 (1174655-038)
Play Store appears to work fine in all tested facets except for manually updating Play Store apps.
When choosing to update apps which Play Store indicates need updating, the download process appears to initiate, but nothing more. After I accept permission changes (if any) "Download..." appears in the Play Store app and on notification bar, (the blue horizontal scrolling download bar just continuously scrolls) but none of the apps appear to download even one byte. This happens if I choose "update all" or update an app individually. (connected via StraightTalk data connection, as wifi not available at my current location). Same issue in Safe mode.
I can buy/listen music via Play Store, browse the web with Chrome, download Google Mail. I cleared Play Store app cache. Never observed this behavior in 4.4.2 (but unsure if I previously attempted to manually update Play Store apps after install of 4.4.3).
What might be the best practice troubleshooting tips to apply in this scenario?
Updated with 444 OTA and issue continues.
thats not an android specific problem..its more a playstore problem..ive have encountered this a least once with every single android phone i've own dated back to the OLD Motorola DROID days its basicallly hanging cuz its not "receiving" data connection. whether wifi or cellular. a remedy that i've learned is to look for the current app that is "downloading" and cancel the download.and it should move on to the next one and start downloading again. works everytime for me.

Yes, tried that. And as stated attempted to update apps individually.
Found that I could update via wifi. But not via StraightTalk data connection. Previously did not have issues updating via StraightTalk. So have to research this issue.

I can still download updates via wi-fi connection but no longer able to download Play Store manual updates when connected to StraightTalk data connection. Up to about three weeks ago I was able to download updates via StraightTalk, but no longer. When connected to StraightTalk I still receive notifications app updates are available but they will not download, either individually or selected as a group ('update all'). When update is selected, the Play Store shows a download notification for a few seconds and continuously displays "downloading..." on the apps page but nothing else.
Still unable to figure this out. Everything else is working fine. Just not able to download app updates from PlayStore when connected to StraightTalk (AT&T) data connection. Downloading updates via wifi works fine. But I'm almost always in an area without wifi access.
UPDATE: I allowed the update download attempt continue for ten minutes or so, and an error notification finally shows up:
"Error
Update for "whatever app" could not be downloaded due to an error. (495)"
Googled "could not be downloaded due to an error (495)" and found some possibilities I need to research.

Discovered that was a generic error message.
But found a solution. In Settings > Data Usage > Mobile > Media > 'Restrict background data' was checked.
Guess I won't do that again
So my next question is how to set Google Play to NOT check for updates.
I know how to disable auto updates, but I'd like the phone to also not check for updates. I rather do that on my own.
I have downloaded market unlocker and everything goes well I changed the market and so on. But the next day I discovered an issue, I opend play store and it says no connection, then I realized it was on an wrong market, I changed it and opened play store and it keeps saying no connection. I cleared cache and nothing happened I reseted the phone (moto g(xt1032))and it asked me to log in into the phone with a gmail,I did it and it says "Google can't find a save server or your sim card doesn't work with the phone, I took the sim out and tryd again and it doesn't work 2
So can pleas somebody help me, I can't log in to yt, play store gmail.
Greetzz My
PS: sorry for bad English
i have got my spice mi-496. its was working good until i
have apply pattern lock. one day kids used my phone and phone got lockked due to 5 failed attempts. i try to restart and put my Google account cridentials but phone does not accept it
allthough i can login using same username and password on gmail on pc.so i decided to reset.
i go to service center to factory reset the phone
they did it and my problems has a new beginning
the google play store giving me this error server error retry. i have tried many steps found in google. but nothing works. many people has told on xda to clear the catch„ check the date time etc but nothing is working as i have reset 2 times so there is no catch in it. and i try to install play store v 5.0.9 also thats also not works. any more ideas to fix it
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
I have a rooted tablet and phone, both Samsung Galaxy. My tablet stopped connecting to the play store even when WiFi was available so I cleared the cache and removed data. This didn't work so I uninstalled updates.
This removed the app. I restored the tablet but I can't sign in to my Google account on boot . Error message says no connection, even though the WiFi is connected.
Now both Google accounts on my phone have red sync badges and I can't get on YouTube or play store, again no connection even though WiFi is connected
I've checked the date and time, deleted caches, deleted data.
Don't want to delete my account on my phone in case i can't sign in again!
Please help
