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.

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.
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?

It's quite old, but performs adequate, except this bull****
I'm using an Samsung XCover 3, which I have rooted (TWRP) recently. I'm using the stock firmware (android ver 5.1.1) on it.
It took my quite a while to get all the apps back with the desired settings after rooting the Phone. Today the Phone really seemed to verry slow, and having some freeze moments once in a while. So I've decited monitoring the system, to see if there were some apps interfering on the background.
Long story short: When I tried to install an app in the play store, the download meter went straight to 100%, but then nothing. The app didn't seemed to get installed, no matter how long I was waiting. So I googled a bit and tried some possible sollutions, but without anny succes.
Things I've tried:
- Clearing cache and data from the Google Play app
- Clearing cache and data from Google Services
- After restart, no progression...
- Deleted the updates from Google Play App
- Deletede updates from Googles Services
- After restart no prgression, and even wasn't able to update Google Services and Google play annymore.
- Resetting app preferences
- After restart no progression...
- Formatting cache and Dalvik in TWRP
- After restart no progression...
- Removed cache and updates from Google app.
- After restart I was able to update Google Services now, but I can't find an option to update Google Play Store.
- After last restart I wasn't able to update or install other apps annymore. So it seems I got back at the starting point here.
Most of the sollutions given above are from google searches, I'm out of ideas now...
I'm hoping that there's somebody who knows how to solve this, I could go back to a factory reset, but I don't want to go through all the hassle of installing and configurating all the apps again.
Thanks in advance!
I get an error everytime I try to update my apps lately. This is the second time it occurs in a couple of weeks.
I've done the obvious of cleaning Google Play cache (and a few other apps), remove Google account, reboot, wipe cache partition, adding Google account again.
Wondering if there is any other way to fix this than the also obvious factory reset, that I'm trying to avoid. And might not fix.
And yes, I've googled it.
Error code: 495

Go to Settings/Apps. Find Google application not Play Store.
Clear Google Application Data/Cache. Restart the device immediately.
