Google Play Store not working? Fixes and solutions

Is the Google Play Store not working? Maybe the Android app store keeps stopping? Your phone can't download apps or games from the Play Store? Many Android users have experienced problems installing or updating applications on their smartphones, and we listed in this guide the solutions to the most common problems on the Play Store. ADVERTISEMENT NEXTPITTV There are quite a few factors that could possibly affect the Play Store service. We'll run through the troubleshooting methods beginning with simple solutions down to the more complicated ones. If you are encountering a specific error message, check our dedicated guides linked below: Fixes and solutions for the most common Play Store error codes What to do to stop the ''Google Play authentication is required' error Jump to: Check if the problem is more widespread Check internet connectivity Check date and time settings Check Google Apps Install the latest version of Google Play Store Clear cache, storage/data on Google Play Store Clear cache on Google Play Services Install the latest version of Google Play Services Reset Google account(s) Check interference due to disabled apps Disable VPN/ VPN apps Enable download manager/downloads (Android 9 and below) Drastic solutions Solution for rooted devices Uninstall updates on Google Play Store Perform factory reset 1. How to pinpoint the problem First of all, you'll want to make sure the problem is on your end and not a wider problem with Google. Check the Play Store status on a service like Downdetector, for example. If a lot of users are reporting problems with the app, then chances are Google's servers are having stability issues, and you will need to wait for them to fix it. ADVERTISEMENT If you suspect the problem is on the user end (i.e. your phone), you'll first want to restart your device. It seems obvious, but this can be a quick solution to many issues. If your problem repeats, then it's time to get to work. To start off, we want to check a couple of simple things outside of Google Play that might be affecting its performance. Check your Internet connection It may seem too simple or easy, but checking your Internet connection could solve the problems you're having. Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data, or vice versa, and see if the problem persists. You should also try switching your phone to "Airplane mode" and back again. Finally, you can restart your router to make absolutely sure you have a good connection. ADVERTISEMENT Check your date and time settings Google periodically checks your smartphone's date and time for the Play Store. In case there is a difference between the actual time and what is displayed on your phone, Google's servers could have a tough time syncing with your device and cause Google Play Store to act up. That can also happen if you travel to another time zone, and forget to adjust the device time settings. To fix this issue, you need to go into the Settings on your Android device and follow the steps below: ADVERTISEMENT Go to System. Select Date & Time. Then, make sure to activate the options Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically. Google Play Issues Date Time Updating the date & time settings can potentially solve Google Play Store issues / © NextPit 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 Set time automatically off. Then start by entering the date and time with as much accuracy as possible. If this doesn't work, don't worry, there are still many more solutions for getting your Google Play Store up and running again. 2. Check your Google apps If the Play Store is frozen or glitching, force close it by swiping it away or going to Settings > Apps > See all apps select the Google Play Store, and hit Force stop. Google Play Issues Force Stop Stopping the Play Store app will force it to restart / © NextPit Then, you'll want to make sure that Google Play itself is up to date and clean. This involves making sure you have the latest version of Google Play installed, especially when the Google Play Store keeps stopping. If you still have problems, you'll want to do some housekeeping. This means clearing the Google Play Store cache and, if this doesn't solve things, going further and clearing out your Play Store data. If there's still an issue after the Play Store has been cleaned up, we'll have to go a little deeper and clear data and cache on Google Play Services, as well as make sure to install the latest version of Google Play Services. If the issue persists, the next step (make sure to record your passwords, etc.) is to reset your Google account on your device. Install the latest version of Google Play Store It's silly, but sometimes a Google Play Store update is available but won't automatically download until days after being released. To manually check for an update, Google added a new option in 2021 in the app, just follow these steps: Go into the Google Play Store app and tap on your profile picture in the top right corner. Tap on Settings. Expand the About by tapping on it. Finally, tap in the Update Play Store option, and confirm the update if available. Google Play Issues Update The Play Store can be updated manually inside the app itself since 2021 / © NextPit Alternatively, if you get the APK file for the Play Store, you can have the newest version immediately, though. Read this article to find out how. Clear the Google Play Store cache In some cases, you can get the Play Store going again by just clearing 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. Select the Apps option, (or Apps & notifications, depending on your device). On stock Android, you will need to tap on See all apps. You will now see a list of apps installed on the phone. Scroll down until you see Google Play Store and tap on it. You will now see a screen that says App Info. Here, tap on the option that says Storage & cache. Tap on the option that says Clear cache. Google Play Issues Clear cache Clear the Google Play Store cache and check if that fixes the issue / © NextPit Go back and check if this resolves the issue. If it doesn't, repeat the same procedure as indicated in the next step: Clear Storage on the Google Play Store As mentioned earlier, if the issue isn't fixed by simply clearing the cache, you can try the other option called Clear storage (or Clear data). The steps are identical as given above, but this step 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 application. Clear data and cache on 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. Open the Settings app. Go to Apps (or Apps & notifications). Tap on See all apps. You will now see a list of apps installed on the phone. Scroll down until you see Google Play Services and tap on it. Tap on the Storage & cache option. Tap on the Clear cache button. Go back and check if this resolves the issue. Google Play Issues Services This is how you can clear the cache for Google Play Services / © NextPit 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 it's useful to keep it updated. Remember first to check the Play Store for updates. Depending on your phone's model, the Google Play Services is updated automatically, to manually check for a new version, just click on the link bel= Google Play services Install on Google Play Reset your Google account on your device We're now coming to slightly more drastic solutions. If your Play Store app still isn't 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) and passwords before you start this. You could lose the entire account if you’re not careful. To do this, remove your account, then add it again. It’s pretty simple to do. Open the Settings app. Tap Password & accounts. Select the Google account you want to remove. Tap on the Remove account button. Repeat these steps for every Google account on your device. Now you need to re-enter your Google account. Go back into your Settings and tap on Password & 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. Google Play Issues remove account Removing your Google account then re-adding it could help / © NextPit Check third party apps The steps above should confirm whether the issue lies with the Google Play system itself, but sometimes the problem can originate from a different, related app that can be interfering with the Play Store. First, check your disabled apps, and make sure that you enable Download Manager. You should also disable your VPN if you have one. Check your disabled apps Many apps need other services or applications in order to function properly. This is especially true when you're 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. Open the Settings app. Then tap Apps (or Apps & notifications). Expand the list by tapping the See all apps option. Expand the All apps option The dropdown list will not be available if there are no apps disabled on the phone. Select the Disabled apps option. If you see any disabled services, just go into these and hit Enable, and see if that helps. Google Play Issues disabled apps Enable your disabled apps / © NextPit Disable your VPN Having a VPN is a great way to get all your favorite media outside your geographic location. You can even use a VPN to install an app in the Play Store of another country. But your VPN could be causing you problems with your Google Play Store in the region you're currently in. If you have a VPN enabled on your Android device, you should disable it. Go into your Settings and tap Network and internet. Check if you have enabled a VPN. In case you have installed a third-party app for VPN. You will need to disable that separately. Google Play Issues disable VPN Make sure that VPN services are not interfering with the Google Play Store / © NextPit Enable Download Manager (applicable only for older Android phones) 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. Note that this is no longer an option on devices running Android 10 and above. Go into your Settings and tap either Apps/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 you'll 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 wreaks havoc on your system / © NextPit 3. Go for the drastic solution Now, we're getting to some more technical solutions that need to be done with care, so make sure you've tried the above methods first. Now, if you've rooted your device, then we recommend deleting the file "hosts.txt" in your system directory. If this doesn't work or if you don't want to root your phone, then return to the Play Store and uninstall previous updates. Finally, as a last resort, you can always perform a factory data reset on your smartphone. This will erase all your data, so make sure to back them up first. Delete the file "hosts.txt" (requires root) For advanced users who have already rooted their device, open your root-privileged file explorer of choice. Then go to your root/system directory and search for "hosts.txt" and delete the file. Note: do not touch any of the other system files! Uninstall updates on Google Play 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, depending on the Android version your mobile is running. Here's how you can do it. Open Settings. Tap on Apps. Tap on See all apps and scroll down to Google Play Store. Tap to open it and then tap on the three dots "⋮" on the top right corner to reveal Uninstall updates. Tap Uninstall updates and check if the issue is resolved. Google Play Issues Uninstall updates Try the uninstall updates method in an attempt to get Google Play Store working again / © NextPit 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 you're 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. Your data will be restored when you log back into your Google account. Here's how you can factory reset a phone running stock Android. Open the Settings app. Scroll down and tap on System. Select Reset options. Tap on Erase all data (factory reset). Google Play Issues Factory reset A factory reset is usually the last option. Make sure you back up all your data before doing this! / © NextPit The post Google Play Store not working? Fixes and solutions first appeared on PR Business News Wire.

Magic: The Gathering Trading Cards Dominate The List of Top Lots in Bruneau & Co.'s Feb. 26 Auction

Cranston, RI, USA, March 10, 2022 -- Magic: The Gathering (“MTG”) trading cards dominated the list of top lots in Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers’ Winter Comic, TCG (Trading Card Games) & Toy auction held February 26th, as the top five offerings – all MTG cards from 1993 – combined to bring a total of $123,750. The auction was held online as well as in Bruneau & Co’s gallery located in Cranston. Soaring to the winner’s circle was a rare and highly desirable Magic: The Gathering Beta Black Lotus card, graded CGC 9 Mint, a Holy Grail item for MTG collectors. It sold within estimate for $45,000. The card is revered as the most powerful of the Power Nine and is idolized for its fast mana acceleration during play. It’s also famous for the elegant artwork by Christopher Rush. “It was a phenomenal sale, and an absolute pleasure to get to handle such a wonderful collection of Magic: The Gathering cards” said Travis Landry, a Bruneau & Co. auctioneer and the firm’s Director of Pop Culture. “Original Alpha and Beta cards do not come out of the woodwork that often ungraded, especially Power Nine. It was certainly a Trading Card Game dominated day.” All the CGC graded MTG cards in the auction were from an original owner Virginia collection. The runner up card was a Magic: The Gathering Alpha Ancestral Recall card, graded CGC 9.5 Gem Mint ($38,750). Like the Beta Black Lotus, it’s another MTG Holy Grail card, on most every collector's wish list to complete, with Alpha print being the most coveted. Next in line was a Magic: The Gathering Alpha Timetwister trading card, graded BGS 8.5 NM-MT+. It bested its high estimate by finishing at $16,250. When played with the other cards of the Power Nine, Timetwister becomes a powerful tool. As an Alpha print BGS 8.5 example, this card is a wise investment for the serious collector’s MTG portfolio. In fourth place was a Magic: The Gathering Beta Mox Sapphire trading card, graded CGC 9.5 Gem Mint, which sold within estimate for $14,375. The Mox gem artifact cards are an incredibly powerful set, rightfully earning their place in the Power Nine. This Mox Sapphire, a CGC 9.5 Beta print example, was one of the finest ones on the open market. Rounding out the top five was a Magic: The Gathering Beta Volcanic Island trading card, graded CGC 7 Near Mint. Volcanic Island is iconic in MTG lore, not only for being a dual land but exclusive to the Beta printing. The example in the auction proved to be something of a sleeper, sailing past its $5,000 high estimate to change hands for $9,375. “This was yet another auction proving that investing in Pop Culture collectibles such as comics and cards is a real addition to one’s financial portfolio,” said Kevin Bruneau, Bruneau & Co’s president and an auctioneer. “The strength of the market reminds me of antiques twenty years ago.” The auction was packed with 427 lots curated from collections and estates across the U.S. Following are additional highlights from the auction. Internet bidding was facilitated by the popular online platforms LiveAuctioneers.com, Invaluable.com and Bidsquare.com, as well as bidLIVE.Bruneauandco.com and the mobile app ‘Bruneau & Co.’ on iTunes or GooglePlay. Phone and absentee bids were also accepted. All prices quoted include the buyer’s premium. One lot consisting of eight factory-sealed 1999 Pokémon Base Unlimited Booster Pack cards in three-pack clamshells, for a total of 24 packs with eight of each pack artwork, realized $8,438. Some clamshells were yellowed from aging and sun, otherwise good condition. These are a unique piece of Pokémon TCG history and would have been sold in a department store. A copy of Detective Comics #359 (DC Comics, Jan. 1967), CGC graded 8.0, the comic book featuring the origin and first appearance of Batgirl, plus an appearance by Killer Moth, climbed to $4,000. Also, a group of 107 Marvel Comics Spider-Man comic books, #21-#150, in conditions ranging from 4.0 to 7.0, went to a determined bidder for $3,875. Magic: The Gathering (known as Magic or MTG) is a tabletop and digital collectible card game created by Richard Garfield and released in 1993 by Wizards of the Coast (now a subsidiary of Hasbro). Magic was the first trading card game and had approximately 35 million players as of December 2018. Over 20 billion Magic cards were produced in the period from 2008 to 2016. New MTG cards are released on a regular basis through expansion sets. A worldwide community of professional Magic players has developed, as has a substantial resale market for Magic cards. Certain cards can be valuable due to their rarity in production and utility in gameplay, with card prices ranging from a few cents to tens of thousands of dollars. MTG cards are highly collectible.
