How to fix If Google Play Store Not Working On Your Phone?


Google play store works as a medium between our smartphones and the awesome apps and games. Without it installing apps and games becomes quite troublesome.

What if it stops working all of a sudden? What if it won’t open? What if the downloading never starts or never completes? If you haven’t faced such problem with Google play store, you are few of the lucky ones and deserve the highest of fives.
Here are some of the methods that you can use when Google play store stops working.

1. Restart Your Device

This is the first and foremost thing to do. Sometimes the problem can be solved with just a simple reboot. Not just this problem, if you are facing any kind of problem, it is recommended to perform a reboot before doing anything else.

2. Check Date & Time

Did you know that most of the time you can’t access Google or any other website if date & time in your computer is not correct? I don’t know the exact reason but I guess this happens because Google servers are not able to synchronize with your date & time settings. The logic is similar to the phone. Make sure that your phone’s date & time are accurate.

3. Force Stop

Force stop simply means turning off an app with force. Sometimes a simple force close could solve the problem. To force close Google play store, go to your phone’s settings and open Google play store in the application manager. Once it is open, tap “FORCE STOP” to close. Before doing so make sure that Google play store is removed from your recent apps list.

4. Clear App Cache & App Data

If the above-mentioned methods didn’t solve your problem, it’s time to clear app cache. App cache simply means the information that an app stores in order to reduce the loading time when you open that app the next time. But sometimes the old information, which is not being used any more, may stay there and cause the app to behave differently. So it’s recommended to clear app cache from time to time.
To clear cache, open Google play store in the application manager and tap on “CLEAR CACHE”. This should generally solve the problem. But if the problem is still there, you might need to clear app data.
To clear app data, open Google play store in the application manager and tap ” CLEAR DATA “. Doing so will delete all the data or login information shared with Google play store.

5. Uninstall Updates

Sometimes there may be a problem with the software itself. In such case, you’ll have to uninstall the app. But since Google play store is a system app it cannot be removed. However, you can uninstall the updates. Doing so well revert it back to the older version. To do so open Google play store in application manger and tap on ” UNINSTALL UPDATES”.

6. Remove Your Google Account

If the problem is merely a log in issue, removing and re-adding your Google account may solve the problem. Here’s how to remove your Google account:
  1. Open your phone’s settings app
  2. Look for “Accounts” which is under “Personal” subheading
  3. Tap on “Accounts” and then tap on “Google”
  4. Next, tap on your Gmail ID
  5. Now, tap on the three vertical dots on the top right of the screen
  6. Select “Remove account” from the menu
  7. On the pop-up menu tap on “Remove account”
Now your Gmail account is removed from your device.
To re-add that account simply open any Google app and log in using the required information. This should solve the problem. If not, read on.

7. Don’t Ignore Google Play Services

Google play services are the backbone of all the awesome Google features on your phone. Sometimes the problem could be with the Google play services instead of Google play store. To solve the problem with the services, try clearing app cache, manage space, or disable it once and enable again.

8. Perform Factory Reset

Factory resetting your phone is a dangerous task since all your data will be erased so it should be done only if no other choice of left.
Before performing a factory reset make sure that all your data is backed up since you’ll lose all the data after factory reset.
To perform a factory reset go to your phone’s settings option, then to “Backup & reset”which is under “Personal” subheading, then tap on “Factory data reset”.

9. Edit Host File (For Rooted Users)

If your phone is rooted you can solve this problem but editing the host file. Here’s how to do it:
  1. Open a file manager that supports root directory
  2. Navigate to system > etc > hosts and select edit
  3. Add a hashtag to the front of the second set of numbers and save
  4. your changes (i.e. change from 127.0.0.1 to #127.0.0.1)
  5. Reboot your device
  6. Re-add your Google account
Your Google play store problems should be fixed now.

How to get working ADB drivers for unrecognized Android devices

How to get working ADB drivers for unrecognized Android devices


Christmas 2013 has come and gone and I think its safe to say that this year was the year of the tablet.  Just a few years ago I made my first foray into the world of inexpensive ultraportable devices when I purchased a Coby Kyros back in 2011.  Poor battery life, slow performance and the awful resistive touch screen gave that old tablet a less than stellar user experience.  It did what I needed it to do and that was allow me to carry around an entire backpack full of heavy textbooks in something the size of a small notepad.
Now fast forward to today.  Because of an insane deal on Black Friday, we were able to pick up a pair of these RCA 7" Android tablets for less than what I paid for the Kyros a few years back and the difference in performance and quality is astounding!  These tablets come with 8GB of internal storage,  a 1.5GHz dual core and 1GB of RAM.  The graphics performance is nice and fluid and the capacitive multitouch screen is responsive and easy to use.  These super inexpensive tablets are really quite capable and plenty useable.  They came with Android 4.1.2 out of the box and since received an OTA update to 4.2.2.  I remember not so long ago wishing that some of my devices would one day receive a Gingerbread update.  Things have come a long, long way in a short period of time.
That is not to say that I dont have my fair share of gripes about them.  Mainly, the fact that RCA couldnt even be bothered to provide drivers for their own device, which is actually the issue I am addressing in this article.  Under the normal run of things, most users probably wont find the need to ever do anything more than transfer a file or two onto their tablet.   If you happened to find a need for accessing this tablet via ADB (android debugging bridge) you would find yourself up a creek, because out of the box this tablet simply doesnt get recognized. 
heres how to get your computer to talk to the RCT6378W2 over ADB (or any other unrecognized Android device).

Part 1:  Preparing your Android device and PC

First thing is first, you will need to do is enable "Developer Options".   To enable the Developer Options menu, go to Settings>About Tablet>Build Number.  Repeatedly tap Build Number until you get a message stating You are now a developer.  
Then navigate to Settings>Developer Options and check USB Debugging. 





At this point on about 99% of all Android devices, youd be able to connect to your device using the ADB but this tablet requires a little bit more work.  The process is a little bit different for each platform I did it on but the premise is basically the same.  First off, you need to have a functional JDK (Java Development Kit) and you need to have the Android SDK installed.  You can get the JDK from java.com and the Android SDK from android.com.  Once you have installed both of them, add the directories containing Tools and Platform-Tools to your $PATH.
Once you have added these to $PATH, run the Android SDK Manager (execute the command android in terminal/cmd.exe).  Install the libraries for your devices current version of Android and if youre using Windows, make sure to grab the package Extras>Google USB Driver.

Part 2: Making the your PC recognize your Android device 

As I mentioned, the process is a little bit different on each operating system.  The hardest one being Windows.

Windows:
I have read several places online people are advising to install PDA Net in order to gain ADB access to this device.  Now, while it will in fact install a driver it will NOT allow you to access this tablet via ADB so I would recommend you dont install PDA Net.  Instead, I would recommend using the official Google drivers.  Unfortunately, they need to be modified in order to be used with this tablet.  Its not very hard to do, just takes a couple minutes and can be a bit of a hassle.

First thing you need will be your device IDs.  You can get them opening up the device manager and finding the "Unknown Device" with a yellow exclamation point.  Right click on it and select Properties, and then go to the Details tab.  Under the Property drop down menu, select hardware IDs.  There should be two strings:

USBVID_2207&PID_0011&REV_0222&MI_01
USBVID_2207&PID_0011&MI_01

Copy those strings somewhere and then navigate to where you downloaded the Google USB driver.  Then you need to open up the file android_winusb.inf in a text editor.  I would recommend using Notepad++.

There are two changes you need to make in the file, first under the [Google.NTx86] section (32 bit or i386 driver) and then under the [Google.NTamd64] section (the 64 bit driver).  

First, create a sub-section for your device.  I called mine ;RCA 6378W2 but it doesnt really matter what you call it.  Then, under the sub-section you created paste the Device ID strings you copied from the Device Manager, preceded by %SingleAdbInterface%.  If you need help, look at this screenshot.

Then once youve made the necessary changes to the anroid_winusb.inf file, save it.  Go back to the device manager and right click the unknown device and select Update Driver Software.  Then select Browse my computer for driver software.    Navigate to where you have the now modified Official Google USB Driver and then click Next.  It will probably take a few minutes to complete, but once its done your tablet should show up now as Android Device>Android ADB Interface under the device manager tree.


!!!NOTE!!!


If you are using Windows 8 or 8.1, you will need to disable device driver signature checks before youll be able to install the modified driver. Heres a quick video on how to disable device driver checks http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NM1MN8QZhnk.  Ignore the part at the beginning about 64 bit, your computer architecture doesnt matter.

Once youve installed a working ADB driver for your device, you would think youd finally be able to connect to your device via ADB right?  Well... you would be wrong.  There is still one more thing you need to do to make ADB work for your device.

Assuming you have in fact added the Android SDK tools and platform tools to your path, open up cmd.exe and enter the commands

android update adb
adb kill-server

This will generate the folder .android in your home directory, and the file adb_usb.ini which is what we need to edit in order to finally get the ADB working.  Once again, using Notepad++, edit the adb_usb.ini file and add your tablets manufacturer device ID number in hexadecimal format, eg;

0x2207

If you need help, look at the screenshot.



Save the changes to the adb_usb.ini file and then plug your tablet in to a USB port.  Fire up a cmd.exe window and execute the commands

adb kill-server
adb devices

If the command returns a device, you are golden!  If not, then you have done something wrong along the way and you need to recheck your steps.
To recap, here are the steps:
1) Install the Java Development Kit2) Install the Android Software Development Kit3) Add tools and platform-tools to your $PATH4) Run the Android SDK Manager for the first time5) Install the necessary libraries and download the official Google USB driver6) Add your device IDs to the Google driver7A) If youre on Windows 8.x disable device driver signature enforcement7B) Install the ADB driver for your tablet8) generate the file adb_usb.ini9) add your tablet device IDs to adb_usb.ini10) restart the adb server and connect to your tablet

If hacking away at your own drivers is too complicated, you can download the one I modified here.

Mac OS X:

The process is FAR simpler on Mac OS X.  I have only tested this on Mac OS X 10.9.1 "Mavericks" so far, but these instructions should work for any version of OSX.  Assuming you have installed a working JDK and Android SDK, and then added the tools and platform-tools to your $PATH, all you need to do is find your device IDs, generate the adb_usb.ini file and then add the device ID to it.


!!!NOTE!!!


I have not had very good luck with running Oracle Java 7 on OSX 10.9.  I would recommend using the official Apple distribution of Java 6, which Mavericks does not come installed with.  You can download it here http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572

to find your device ID, execute the command 

system_profiler SPUSBDataType

Now, it may be a little bit more confusing because your tablet is probably not going to identify itself as an RCA device.  On my Mac it identifies itself as Fuzhou Rockchip Electronics, which is the type of CPU and mainboard it has (many cheap Android devices have Rockchip CPUs).  Look for your model number (RCT6378W2 in this ) 

Once you have found your device ID, execute the command

android update adb

which will generate the adb_usb.ini file.  Edit the file with a text editor of your choice, adding your device ID to the bottom of the file in hexadecimal format, eg;

0x2207

Once youve done that, unplug and replug in your tablet and then execute the commands

adb kill-server
adb devices

if the command returns your devices serial number you are done.  If you get no response from the command, go back and recheck all of your steps.

Linux:

The process on Linux is almost identical Mac OS X.  I have only tested this on Xubuntu 13.10 64 bit, but the process should be pretty much the same on any modern Linux system, whether 32 or 64 bit.  Assuming you have installed a working JDK and Android SDK, and then added the tools and platform-tools to your $PATH, all you need to do is find your device IDs, generate the adb_usb.ini file and then add the device ID to it.

to find your device ID, execute the command 

lsusb -vv

Now, it may be a little bit more confusing because your tablet is probably not going to identify itself as an RCA device.  Just like on Mac OS X, youll need to look for model number, in this case RCT6378W2.  For some reason, some information was only available when I ran lsusb -vv as root.  The command creates a LOT of output so I found it helpful to batch the output to a text file and read through it in a text editor.

sudo lsusb -vv | cat >> lsusb.txt 

Heres a screenshot of the output and what it is youre looking for



Once you have found your device ID, execute the command

android update adb

which will generate the adb_usb.ini file.  Edit the file with a text editor of your choice, adding your device ID to the bottom of the file in hexadecimal format, eg;

0x2207

Once youve done that, unplug and replug in your tablet and then execute the commands

adb kill-server
adb devices

if the command returns your devices serial number you are done.  If you get no response from the command, go back and recheck all of your steps.

Google Play Store not working Heres what you can do

Google Play Store not working Heres what you can do


Weve all experienced a Google Play Store problem at some point. Whether its an error message when downloading apps, or the Play Store simply wont open, we have the solutions. Heres what you can do when the Google Play Store doesnt work for you.

Check your date and time settings

Google checks your Android smartphones date and time for the Play Store. If the store does not find a time then it could cause some issues. Googles servers could have a tough time syncing with your device and cause your Play Store to act up.
To fix this issue, you need to go into your the Settings in your Android device. Under System you should see Date and Time. Tap on this and you will see whether your phone is on the Automatic date and time provided by your network. If it isnt already then you should toggle it on.
If your device is on automatic and your Google Play Store is still not working then you should manually set the date and time. You first need to turn Automatic date and time off. Then start by entering the date and time with as much accuracy as possible. If this doesnt work, dont worry, there are still many more solutions for getting your Google Play Store up and running again.

Setting the date and time could help if your Google Play Store is not working.

Clear the Google Play Store cache

In some cases, you can get the Play Store going again by just emptying the cache. The cache is a storage area that temporarily holds data so it can be quickly retrieved without needing to be reloaded. This could solve your problem and emptying it is easy.
First go in the Settings from your smartphone’s home screen. You should then go into your Apps or Application manager, it depends on your device. From there you should either be able to scroll down and hit Clear cache or you might have to first go into Storage then Clear cache.
Once this has been completed, go back into your Google Play Store and see if your problem has been solved. If not, you should try one of the other solutions here.

Clear out your Play Store data 

Deleting your data from the Play Store is similar to our first tip but erases quite a bit more. It sets the app back to square one and gets rid of your saved information, hopefully including whatever glitchy data was causing the problem.
Remember, when you do this your files, settings, accounts, databases and other information will be erased. You should make sure you have the log-in information for the account as it will be taken off the Google Play Store account.
To get started, head into your Settings and find the Apps or Application manager. From there you should be able to scroll down to Clear data or go into Storage first then Clear data.

Clearing your cache and/or data could fix the problem youve been having.

Clear data and cache on Google Play Services

It is possible that Play Store problems could stem from issues with Google Play Services. If Google Play Store is the heart of your Android device, then Google Play Services is its soul. Play Services is the mysterious background process that allows apps to communicate with different parts of your device, enabling them to sync, send push notifications and so on.
If clearing the cache and data in your Google Play Store didn’t work then you may need to go into your Google Play Services and clear the data and cache there. Doing this is easy.
You need to go into your Settings and hit Application manager or Apps. From there, find the Google Play Services app (the puzzle piece). Depending on your device, you should be able to tap the Clear cache button or you might need to go into Storage first then hit Clear cache. If that fails to solve the problem, come back to this page and hit Manage space or Manage storage then tap Clear all data.
AndroidPIT google play not working 3
Clearing the data and cache in Google Play Services fix your Play Store problems.

Install the latest version of Google Play Services

Another thing that may help is to download and install the latest version of Google Play Services and the Google Play Store. The most current version of the software is likely to be the most stable, so its useful to keep it updated.
Firstly, you need to make sure your Google Play Store is up-to-date. Go into the Google Play Store app and hit the menu button (three lines in the top left hand corner of your screen). From there tap Settings and under General you should be able to see when your Google Play app updates. Tap Auto-update apps and ensure that Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi is checked. Now, make sure you’re connected to Wi-Fi.
Getting the latest version of Google Play Services is much more difficult and too long to mention here.
AndroidPIT google play not working 5
Is your Google Play Services app up-to-date? 

Reset your Google account on your device

Were now coming to the slightly more drastic solutions. If your Play Store app still isnt working, then you may need to refresh your Google account on your Android device. This will mean your Google account on your entire phone will be reset and not just in the Google Play Store. Make sure you know the account(s) before you start this. You could lose the entire account if you’re not careful.
So to do this, remove your account then add it again. It’s pretty simple to do. Go to your Settings and tap Accounts. Now you need to tap the Google account you want to remove, then tap the menu icon (three dots at the top right) and tap Remove account. Do this for every Google account on your device.
Now you need to re-enter your Google account. Go back into your Settings and tap on Account again. The only thing you should see is Add Account. If you see an account then you forgot to remove one. Tap Add Account and follow the on-screen steps to re-add your account.
AndroidPIT google play not working 1
Removing your Google account then re-adding it could help.

Check your disabled apps

Many apps need other apps in order to function properly. This is especially true when youre dealing with system apps such as the Google Play Store. If you recently disabled an app that could be your problem. Luckily, this is easy to fix.
Go into your Settings and Application manager or Apps and scroll to the bottom. This is where disabled apps end up. If you see any disabled services, just go into these and hit Enable and see if that helps.
AndroidPIT google play not working 6
Enable your disabled apps.

Enable Download Manager

There is a chance that the Play Store will stop working if your download manager is disabled. If this is the case, the solution is simple.
Go into your Settings and tap either Apps or Application manager (depending on your device). You should either see all of your apps or you might have to choose All. From there find Downloads or Download manager and hit this.
You should be able to see if Download manager is disabled. If it is then youll see a button marked Enable. Simply tap this button to switch Download manager back on. If all you see are buttons for Force Stop and Disable (possibly grayed-out, as seen below), then Download manager is not disabled and you can rule this possibility out.
AndroidPIT google play not working 7
Disabling the Android Download Manager wreak havoc on your system.

Uninstall previous updates

Generally, when you have a problem with an app you can just uninstall it and then reinstall it. Well that works for some apps, but the Google Play Store is a system app on your Android device. What you can do instead is uninstall previous updates to the app and this might help your problem.
You first need to head into your Settings, tap either Apps or Application manager, and you should either see all of your apps or you might have to choose All. From there find the Google Play Store and tap Uninstall updates.
If your Google Play Store is still not working then you need to go back and reinstall the updates. From there head down to our last solution.

Perform a factory data reset on your smartphone

If youre still facing problems after having tried all of the above, then you may have little choice but to do a factory reset. This is a drastic measure and there are consequences. All of your data will be lost. So you should perform a complete backup beforehand.
Once your data is backed its time to do a reset. Go to your Settings and tap Backup & reset. Now, make sure the Back up my data slider is on. Tap Back up account to select which account you want your data backed up to. Ensure you have access to this account.
Once youve done this, go to the Backup & reset menu and tap the Factory data reset button at the bottom. Confirm that you want to do this, and your phone will be as it was when you bought it. Your data will be restored when you log back into your Google account.
Did these solutions work for you?
