[Q] Why can't i download apps off google play?

---

Hi all

I have just tried to install an app from the market and im getting an error

"[Name of app] could not be downloaded due to an error (492)"

It was fine last night downloading stuff but now out of the blue this happens!

Did you try removing your Google account and re-adding it?

You get that when your connection is not strong enough... I get it sometimes... It should work later.

I get a message saying that if i want to remove my google account from my phone i have to do a factory reset..I would rather not :/

Still getting the error and no fix for it?

Try clearing PlayStore's cache.. Settings/Apps and try downloading again. If that alone did not solve it, you might have to reboot into Recovery to Wipe Cache and Dalvik Cache too.

Hope it helps.

Cheers.

You can try this,

Go to manage applications>google play>clear data.
again go to,
Manage applications>google services framework>clear data.

now reboot your device and wait for at least 10 minuets,then try downloading your app.

Nope, no luck

looks like its time to pull out a nandroid from a while ago :/
