There are a gazillion threads on this topic, but most of them are about device-specific or carrier-specific problems. However google play store can stop for a number of reasons that are more generic. Googling them is a pain in the butt, as I recently discovered. This thread is intended as a place to collect them together. As well as checking here, it would be important to check on threads for your specific device and carrier, as they may have pushed a bad version.
Cause: Part-installed apps: something went wrong part-way through installing an app
Checking: Check in google play; if it says 'downloading' or 'installing' permanently, something is amiss
Solution: Try uninstalling the app (you may be able to reinstall it successfully afterward)
Cause: /mnt/sdcard is full
Checking: If you have a terminal, use the "df" command, otherwise use a capable file viewer
Solution: On a terminal, "cd /mnt/sdcard", then "du -s (dirname)" to check sizes, "rm -r (dirname)" to remove something (or use 'mv (dirname) /mnt/external_sd if you have an external sd card with some space). On a file viewer, move or remove relevant directories. You can't avoid this: if your sd card is full, you're definitely going to have to remove something (or move it to your external card) - the system isn't going to work with a full card. USE WITH CARE EITHER WAY. Whatever you remove cannot be retrieved, and removing the wrong thing can make your system or applications misbehave.
Cause: Corrupted data
Checking: Try the solutions in increasing order of severity.
Solution:
Go into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:
Clear cache, Force stop, restart Google Play and retry
Go into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:
Clear data, Force stop, restart Google Play and retry
Go into Settings, then Accounts and Sync, Click on your account, then on options icon, Remove account (ignore warnings - it's easy to restore)
Restart Google Play. It will ask you to add an account - add your original back in.
Cause: Corrupted binaries
Checking: Not sure how...
Solution: Install an updated binary. This thread always seems to have the latest. But you should probably check your device and vendor lists in case there is a device-specific binary (I think the more specific binaries currently just add a different skin, but further information would be good). You may also need to reinstall google play services (thanks jpeg1900)
Or:
"I just reflashed the same gapps in CWM over the first installation, rebooted and had to wait a few minutes before Play Store actually started working again." - Thanks Nephatiu (see below).
Please feel free to add further info below. I'll try to incorporate all good nuggets into this post.
PS anyone know a better way to do tables in this wiki?
play store error at download

Not sure. I had a similar problem at one time, and eventually discovered it was due to a specific app that had only half-installed itself (perhaps the tab had crashed halfway through the download, not sure, it's lost in the mists of time). Uninstalling that app got over the problem. However it might help someone (perhaps you) if you post the error message that you get on the display (people are likely to google it, so that you might get together with other people with the same problem).
I had issues with the Play Store earlier today and tried clearing the app cache and data to no avail, but found another simple fix. I uninstalled updates from version 3.8.15 back to 3.7.15. Worked like a charm.
Well, my Play Store recently crashed during updates, after which it wouldn't run any longer anymore stating that same message every time I try running it and also every time an app accesses the store for information (which seems to happen when I just open the apps). My sdcard wasn't full, clearing data and cache did nothing, no other data is corrupted, I replaced the market with a fresh copy apk, tried different versions, ... Nothing worked... So, reading the internet, I saw the final solution was to remove and re-add my Google account, but for some reason (not a rational one) I didn't really want to do this, so I went back to CWM recovery mode, reflashed the gapps zip I used the first time and rebooted... Once booted it didn't give me the error I usually get on any other boot since it started crashing, but when I tried running Play Store, it crashed again with the same message... Defeated I went to my Google accounts to remove, at which point (just before doing anything) I noticed the Updates-notification of the Play Store popping up in my notification drawer. I tapped it and Play Store booted, everything works again, and it updated itself back to the latest version, still without any problems.
So in short, if you don't ant to read the entire text:
I just reflashed the same gapps in CWM over the first installation, rebooted and had to wait a few minutes before Play Store actually started working again.
Dunno if this will work for anyone of you, 'cause it depends on the reason it's not working, but this possible solution should not be missing from your list since it worked for at least one person (me).

Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3
just download Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3
http://www.androiddrawer.com/11257/download-hotspot-shield-vpn-1-3-app-apk/
and google play store will work again
What does Hotspot Shield VPN 1.3 have to do with Google Play not working?
That is an app which creates a VPN so you can access sites that are locked or not authorized.
Personally I went into Settings than Application Manager, then ALL, then Google Play Store.
After that i cleared all the data, force stopped the app and restarted it again.
It worked nicely.

seems point 3 fixes it for me, but as soon as im back on the play store and starting to download something it just starts over again with the error message. Any ideas?
Not even sure how to describe this one..
Hardware: ASUS ME301T (MeMo Smart Pad 10)
Version: 4.2.1 (10.6.1.29, but it was happening on 10.6.1.25 as well)
Rooted, SuperSU installed for the multi-user support. Aside from that, the device is stock.
Play Store: 4.1.6 (4.0.something factory)
Setup:
2 users
Primary user has 2 Google accounts+FB account
Secondary user has a single Google account
Problem:
I have 43 apps installed on the primary user. If I install even 1 more, the app crashes when trying to load the list of installed apps. Doesn't seem to matter what the 44th app is. Uninstall it to drop it back to 43 and it works just fine again. Secondary user is at 46 and no issues. I've tried removing both Google accounts, clearing data+cache of the store, DMClient, and Download Manager, as well as removing the store updates. Nothing has worked. The only things left I can think of is trying to update the store manually via newer apk or a factory reset. I don't know what, if anything, ASUS changed in the store, as the installed size reports 10.46mb or so. Also want to avoid a reset for obvious pain-in-the-arse related reasons.
Any ideas?
I ran into a similar problem. After reading this thread, i tried a few of the suggestions. What ended up working for me was to go to the application manager, got to google play store, uninstall updates, and re install the factory version. Did the same for google play services.
same problem with 4.3.1.1
using a custom rom (LiquidSmooth) on a Galaxy Note II (N7100) international.
went through all the removing\reinstalling\clear cache tricks.. same error pops up every time i try to open the store, and sometimes just as a background process.
not sure if re-flashing will help... (cleared cache and dalvik too).
thoughts..?

No good ones, but just wondering - is there any possibility it's the 43rd app that is the root of the problem? Perhaps its data is corrupted in play's database, and adding another app reveals the problem.

Just in case you didn't try it, jpeg1900's suggestion of reinstalling google play services (rather than just google play) might be relevant here, in light of it crashing as a background process.

4.5.10
Is this a bugs?? On note 3 original rom play store version 4.5.10 also has this problem, sometimes clear data on download manager / play service / play store can help, sometimes there is no choice, I remove gmail account and sign in again can help...
Why does this happen? Did google give any answer?
helpful topic
i found this very helpful.. thnks
remove account and work well, after few days the same problem occur again!!!! What happen to android? is it need to wait new google play new update?
I broke it!!!
after trying all the processes, several times
I am running Paranoid Android ROM and just wondered if changing hybrid profile of Google play store was contributing to app crashing?!?
note: I was able to open app but from opening menu could not go into any individual tabs (I.e. "apps") without crashing...
Changing hybrid settings back to lower DPI fixed issue and I have just set to the maximum DPI before app starts crashing
hope this helps others

If your problem is due to google sites being blocked by a firewall (your company's, your ISP's, your country's, or whatever) this may be helpful. Be aware that you will need a site on the other end, outside the firewall, to route your google play communications.
If that's not your problem, this solution won't help.
Usually you will know - only a few countries block google, it's highly unlikely that a commercial ISP would, and you will know whether you are trying to do updates on your company's network.
There's a host file in system-etc- delete that file and reboot your phone and see if that works..

Ive searched google and only found topics from a few years back, but for some reason Spotify and SoundCloud will not update in the play store. I get the "insufficient storage available" error. I have about 10gbs of space left over so that's not an issue.
I've cleared the data/cache in the play store and the individual apps and no luck. I've also reflashed Cataclysm thinking that would solve it but still nothing. Any ideas?
Don't know if this will resolve your issue, but have you changed your dpi? Might want to try downloading Multi DPI Play Store

I changed my DPI in the cataclysm settings to 82% but i went back to 100% and it didnt fix it. Thanks though. I read something that you can delete a certain file and it should fix it. I used ES file explorer to try and find it but i couldnt find the app folder.

Theres gotta be somewhat of a fix for this. No?
I had this also for quite some time, honestly I suspected an application who caused that message.
After a few days it got fixed by itself.
Maybe it helps to clear the cache
Yea, its pretty weird. It is only happening with 2 apps. Every other app updates fine. Its not a deal breaker as I dont use Spotfy and SoundCloud too much, its just annoying. I've also tried reinstalling the latest Cataclysm but I get a failed attempt everytime. We shall see.

I got the same error when I started using aoip 4.3, and it's just the amazon app for me. It works just fine, but it hasn't been able to update for weeks. I thought it was something to do with amazon's update, since it was isolated on only the one app.

-Uninstall the problem apps
-Look in /data/data for leftover files with the same or similar name (e.g., Netflix is com.netflix.mediaclient) and delete them.
-Try reinstalling the apps.

So I uninstalled all spotify, soundcloud, es file explorer, and netflix. I used root explorer and went to data/data and found just a spotify file and deleted it. Now they wont download at all and still giving the same insufficient storage error.
Settings>Apps>All
Force stop Google Play. Clear Data/Cache
Force stop Google Services Frameworks. Clear Data/Cache.
Reboot.
That has worked for almost every play store error that I've seen. Let me know if it works for you. Note that the reboot is important.

Ouch. Sorry man the cure all doesn't seem to work for you. Go into Play services and see what it says about Storage. Attach a screenie if you can. Worse case I'd reboot recovery and wipe cache/dalvik then format system and reflash again. Does cataclysm have gapps included?
Worst case solution is a data wipe aka factory reset. I had this problem on my old phone. That was always a sign it's time for a fresh flash and wipe.

I just got this same error for Netflix. I am running rooted stock 4.4.2 with XPosed (using GravityBox and RootCloak) and TWRP.
Error first occurred last night. No significant changes preceding, Plenty of storage left. Last significant change was the recent update to BusyBox (just throwing out anything). Can still update/install other apps. Since error I have updated my SU Binary.
Additionally I have a Nexus 7 running the exact same setup except for ClockworkRecovery instead of TWRP and it accepted the Netflix update without issue.
On the N5 I tried using TWRP's "Fix Permission" option (hell if I know what it does but why not), but didn't work.
Only other thing I can think of that is relevant is I had to re-flash everything about 2 weeks ago because my initial install had apparently set my "storage space" as 16GB when I have a 32GB device. But that issue is fixed and I've tried freeing up extra space just in case.
Edit: After more research I found one person who mentioned BusyBox along with the insufficient storage issue. I tried going back one release to 1.21.1 and restarting the phone but was unsuccessful. Was on 1.22.0, 1.22.1 just released so I'll see if that helps.
This is now happening to me as well. Two apps only, Twitter and Amazon apps.
I've tried deleting old files, reinstalling, one touch cleaning, you name it, I've tried.
Is the only way to fix this is to reflash ROM?
I'm running CyanogenMod, with Franco kernel on a 16gb Nexus 5.
Go data/app-lib and delete the relevant folder for the app your having problems with

Recently got the unlocked Galaxy S6 but every time I've tried to download large apps (Asphalt 8 and Monument Valley) from the Play Store I've been getting an error 905. I've erased cache and cleared data from the Play Store but it keeps doing it. Had to refund Monument Valley, in fact. Any thoughts on how to fix this? I've got the 32GB version by the way. I've searched for this error but it seems to only have affected old devices where internal memory was a problem.
Edit: I solved this by keeping the screen on while downloading and installing Asphalt 8 and not using the device till it had finished installing.

In my case the Play Store was not force closing, no. But I figured it could be related to memory leak issues since everything worked when I kept the play store on top and did not use the phone. And yes, hopefully it will be fixed with the 5.1 update.
Edit: I am the OP and have just remembered my old account.
Sometimes my Galaxy freezes and reboots when I install or update something from Play Store, I think that is a RAM issue.
i have the same issue...i can't download mortal kombat x!! are you disable screen sleep?
I have a completely different phone (LG Optimus L1 II, Android 4.1.2) and I found this thread while looking for the solution. It could be a problem with the current version of google play, since it happens on different devices with different android versions.
Edit: I found more threads about this by looking at the google results for the error 905 on the last week:
google.c om/search?q=google+play+error+905&tbs=qdr:w
(this is my second post, so I can't add links yet. remove the space on the .com)
I think that doing any system-related thing (installing an application, enabling root for an app, etc) makes the error show up
clear the cache and data of your play store app, and then restart your device. you can find detailed guide and explanation about this on http://technogiga.com/how-to-solve-error-905-in-android/
I've got the same problem on my Note 4 on KitKat... So it's probably something with the Play Store not Android.

In my case this did not work, however, keeping the device awake and staying on the same screen worked. I guess it's a memory problem.

Might be a Samsung problem.
If you read the thread, someone had the problem on their G3. So obviously it's either Android or Play Store causing the problem. I'm guessing it's the Play Store because it's happening across different Android versions.
Error 905
This happens after the new playstore update if we keep the screen on and stay on the play store the download completes
Tried with the old playstore version this problem doesnt arises :crying:
I am on Android 5.0.2 (LG G2) and the same thing happened to me. I followed the advise of keeping the screen on and keeping Play Store in the foreground and it worked.
Ive had this problem since day one, i try everthing, clearing cache, reinstalling the playstore, removing my google account, hard reset the phone, everything and after all that and the tests that i made i came up to notice that the problem was the memory, once the phone reach a high memory usage the playstore will close and the download will fail, if u keep ur phone with out ram consuming apps ull be able to download any apps without the need to keep the screen on and the playstore active.. so this an android problem to me and the memory management on lolipop.
so what's the best solution?

Theres no actual sulotion, u cant just try to clear the memory and then try to download the apps u need or u can just leave the screen on and put the playstore on top of all and dont use the phone at all. untill the app that u need has finish downloading.
same problem here on s6 and z3... so its a playstore issue
i have the same error
unable to download mortal kombat x too
OK so a couple days into Cyanogenmod 12.1 unofficial...loaded a bunch of apps, processor and graphics intensive games.... This OS is awesome! But...time will tell really... After a few weeks, months, lets see how it performs...I have high hopes based on what I've experienced so far...
I'm running this on my SG Tab 3 10.1 P5210
A few things I should mention:
1. I had a big learning experience (major noob here) with TWRP recovery. For some reason Odin wouldn't allow me to unchecked 'auto reboot' as it was grayed out. So I modified the .ini file and changed the auto boot parameter from 1 to 0. Then I had to learn... First reboot after Odining TWRP.....HOLD HOME BUTTON+VOLUME UP+POWER..ONCE YOU SEE SAMSUNG LOGO RELEASE POWER STILL HOLDING HOME+VOLUME UP! Reason is, if you continue to hold power button, it's like disconnecting the battery, and reboots tab! UGH...after first successful boot into TWRP Recovery, is all good... To boot into recovery just boot holding power+VOLUME up like normal recovery... TWRP now loads so the time line of cake...
2. The Google Openapps zip did not install with Odin.. I .had to search around, I found frankin GAopen apps for 4.4 and installed via odin....took several play store updates until all Google apps settled down. There's prolly a better way to get the Google stock apps (play store, gmail, etc) that come with Android to install better but...I got them working so I won't complain...
3. When I change the wall paper, the image went whacky. Had to install a 2nd theme, switch themes, then switch back to straighten wallpaper iimage out
4. Keyboard was funky...I think this was from the frankinapps that I installed. Fixed by installing Google keyboard and disabling all others
5. When I install apps, I move them to my MicroSD card if possible. Any app with a widget (Weather Channel, Android Central, Calendar app, any widget app) that I move to the SD card doesn't work anymore. In fact I don't even see the app in the widget drawer. If I install say Android Central and place widget on any screen then move it to SD card it stops working. Fix is, move it back to internal storage.
6. Battery seems to drain quicker however Android 5.1.1 lollipop handles this well because once I get down to about 20% it drains much slower. Faster drain is prolly due to the fact that I'm actually using this tab much more than ever so, this may be a non-issue
7. Not sure if this is lollipop or Cyanogrnmod but, Lollipop (which is what Cyanogenmod is built on) has some really great features such as - auto adjust screen brightness and hue based on time of day.... This is very cool because it's 9:30pm EST and very dim in the room I'm in right now so the screen auto dimmed and adjusted the hue nicely... This is a big plus because it's very easy on the eyes and most importantly it save battery
Overall... Again... 2 thumbs up!!!!
I have also just installed CM12.1 on my SG GT-P5210, and found that for some unknown reason I could not download apps from Google Play store . They would not download to my tablet even tho' play store said it was installed, and I cannot find the apps on my tablet which I wanted. Anyone else have this problem.
Apart from that I like the OS and want to keep it.

So, you don't even have Google play store app right? You need to boot back into TWRP recovery and install the Google stock apps again... You might want to clear cache, delvik and all that...When you do install gaopen, watch carefully because you may experience the same thing as I did...

No I didn't have the Google play store app, and I only installed the CM12.1 file which only gives a few basic apps. I did try the open-gapps file, as far as I could tell maps and play store were installed, (maybe to the browser), but there were problems with both the play store and the maps apps. Neither of them would work, and the maps app error message said to uninstall maps then reinstall, but I couldn't find where I could uninstall , only to disable the app.
I also downloaded the play store app to my tablet, but again it would not work, as it just closed down as soon as I opened it up.
It's weired that the play store and maps work from the browser, but not from the actual tablet.

Neither of them would work, and the maps app error message said to uninstall maps then reinstall, but I couldn't find where I could uninstall , only to disable the app.
I also downloaded the play store app to my tablet, but again it would not work, as it just closed down as soon as I opened it up.
It's weired that the play store and maps work from the browser, but not from the actual tablet.

An update here: After installing open-gapps-arm-5.1-mini-20160203,zip, the problem is down to google services not responing or working. This happens when I try to open the play store, gmail and anything else related to google and I get a message saying that Unfortunately Google Play services has stopped. There seems to be some problem related to the 'checking info' screen which never completes.
Hang on ...arm? I thought these tabs have Intel chips? Did you install the wrong open gaapps? Or did I ?

Hi, I have a small problem, While I use my phone there is file useless downloading It consumes Internet speed making it slow and consumes storage space from the phone.
Anyone can help me to stop downloading this file ? I tried to do force stop for system download manager and delete data for
system download manager but is still being re-downloaded.
Normally Downloadfile.bin is created by the Play Store updating something such as Play Services, Instant Apps, or any app, but shouldn't show up in the download manager but can been seen in logcat. Since you see it in the download manager it could be malware so I suggest downloading Malwarebytes or similar and do a full scan first, or it can sometimes happen from running Play Services Beta builds. But since downloadfile.bin is typically associated with the Play Store I would begin there by clearing the cache for Play Store, Play Services, Instant Apps, and your system cache then reboot. If you have Instant Apps installed/enabled try deleting/disabling it to see if it stops. If still not and your running Play Services Beta build then revert back to Stable builds and see. Can also try deleting data & cache for Play Store, if your rooted you can reinstall Play Store completely or if not disable/revert to stock, delete data/cache, then enable/update.
I realize it's 4 days later and you might have fixed it by now but if not then let me know and I'll try and help ya. Kinda surprised, you post this issue on XDA and 4 days later not a single person has offered help lol.
Thank you
