I have been trying to download an app on the Google Play Store and once it reaches a certain percentage it gets stuck. It doesn't complete the download.
I tried a few random apps and the same thing happens. I also tried restarting the device (S20U), clearing cache and data.
I am not sure what's going on... Any ideas on how to fix this?

I do not have a clue as to what is causing this but I know it is becoming very tiresome. When some apps that are automatically updated they seem to get stuck in permanent download mode. On the apps page it is shows a continuously streaming blue line but no indication as to how much date has downloaded. I have tried deleting and reinstalling, cleared cache in the app, Playstore and Google framework, etc and nothing helps.
Update, I belive I found the problem. Go to Download mgr and clear it‘s cache. Mine had 223mb in it.
Didn't help me any. I think it's a problem with google. I see it happen on all my android devices...long, long wait then all of a sudden the file starts installing.
I've been having this problem with the Play Store where it's not displaying the Notifications correctly.
Or rather, that the persistent Notification while an app is being downloaded/updated is not showing any Details. It keeps showing that continuous horizontal scrolling bar thingy as if the download has yet to start, all the way through the actual downloading plus the installing part. No progress, no download size, doesnt even turn to "Installing" after the download is complete. It does show a proper "xy apps Updated" or "xy app Installed" at the end with the proper thumbnail, just nothing While it's downloading.
I can see the progress in the Play store page for the respective app, but the notification keeps on scrolling with no details.
It's most annoying while updating an app, as you know the notification actually shows the size of Just the update while play store just shows the download percentage out of the Whole app.
I can see in the settings page for Play Store that it's the latest version (4.9.13). The phone is Not rooted, I haven't messed with anything that should affect the Play store as far as I know. No third party app store, no proxy etc. It has been doing this since out of the box. (First time I saw this I thought the Play store might be updating first, as often happens after first setup, and that it'll get alright after a restart or something)
Is anyone else experiencing this? Has anyone experienced this some other time? Possible solutions?
Edit 2: Also, what I didn't notice till recently, is that while updating any app via the playstore, the phone downloads the Whole apk every single time. Normal behavior is to download only the updated part of apk, as happens with every other device I use, but since the notifications are not showing any progress, I didn't notice this before.
Strangest part is no one else seems to be reporting this problem, no other threads etc. My only hope is that the new update (Android 5.1) is just round the corner, and hopefully it'll be sorted then.
my one isnt even downloading giving error 489
yes
Yes this happening with me.. We have to give feedback then they will give update
Play store working like charm.. It happened for first time only.. maybe the playstore or its services might be getting updated.
Update: Problem Persists
It's still the same, with latest Play store 5.0.31, and Latest Play services. I believe it's not these apps at fault here. When an update is being downloaded, the download is actually handled by the stock Download Manager app and not the play store itself. This can be checked by long pressing the download notification and going to App Info. So That must be malfunctioning here.
My phone has "Download Manager version 4.4.4-1379542". Can someone who is not facing this problem please confirm what version his phone is using?
Also, clearing this download manager's Defaults doesn't resolve the issue.

Hey,
try installing the new playstore 5.0
first stop existing playstore app, clear data and cache, then remove your registered gmail accounts from settings, reboot and install new apk.
This should definitely solve all playstore related problems.,

I am having frequent issues when I go to the "My apps" section, and doing an "Update All". The applications will begin downloading, reach a certain point of the download (most recently it was 95%), then it seems to pause for 20 seconds, and then it appears to start the download again, usually installing successfully on the second try.
Does anyone see this issue? I am completely stock (no root or ROM)...
Thanks
Try clearing cache and data on Google Play services and Play Store.
Recently, as I install an app, I'm finding it to take a long time...several minutes.
I just selected Truecaller from the Play Store to install. It's a small app. It moved from the downloading stage to installing, maybe 5 minutes before I started this thread, and is still in installing mode now. Another interesting thing, it does NOT show it installing in the notifications bar.
I've had this happen with other apps as well.
Anyone else experiencing this?

Try clearing cache and data of the play store, in Settings - Apps. Sometimes it just 'hangs'. Canceling and Install again can fix it too.

Thanks. I'll give it a try,
I set up my Pixel 2 yesterday and noticed that whenever I try to access a search within "Settings" I get a "Google Play Services has stopped working." Nothing seems to fix it. I've tried 1) uninstalling updates to restore back to factor installed version but get a "Uninstall unsuccessful" message and 2) Trying to uninstall Google Play Services in hopes of reinstalling. It takes me to Play store with instructions that I need to "deactivate" before uninstalling but the deactivate button doesn't work. I also tried emptying the cache but that did nothing too. Is this a known issue with Play Services and is there something else to try?
You could try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, call google support.
I did a factory reset and now it works most of the time. It seems like it may also be affected when "developer options" is enabled...I like to disable animations to make Android feel snappier.
