Every app has got some standard error codes and all of a sudden you generally get to see the Errors like “Error 491” or for say some error number followed by the message. So let’s take an example of Google PLAY Store which too comes with some of the errors. Unfortunately, Google doesn’t expand the error codes, but all thanks to the folks at XDA who has come up with the expansion of Google PLAY Store error codes. So let’s check out on what the various error codes which are generated and what does that mean. Not just error codes, but we will also be checking out on what are the problems associated with that particular error code along with the solution to fix the same.

​

Error 491 / Error 481:

Problem: Download & Updates are not possible

Solution: Remove your google account if the problem persists even after checking out your internet connectivity and clearing the cache from the Google PLAY Store app. The cache can be cleared from the Settings. Once removed, restart your device and then re associate your Google account with your Google phone. You can clear the cache from the “Settings > Apps” and swipe to all your apps to clear the clear the data from the “Google Services”.

Error 498:

Error 403 / Error 413 / Error 504:

Problem: Downloading apps and updates are not possible

Solution: If you are using the proxy, then you need to remove the proxy. Clear the cache from the “Settings > Apps” and swipe to all your apps to clear the clear the data from the Google Services.

Error 492:

Problem: Dalvik Cache issue

Solution: Head over to the Google Services app from your installed apps and clear all the data present in that app. Just in case if this doesn’t solve the purpose, you need to clear the cache from the recovery mode. Make sure that the recovery mode is installed in your device.

Error 911 / Error 919:

Problem: App couldn’t be downloaded

Solution: This is an authentication error. This may occur when your WiFi network requires additional authentication. At this instance, you need to make sure that you have complete internet access. Probably in this case, you need to use your mobile network data services instead of wifi. Turn wifi off and then turn your data on and now open your google play store and download/update your apps or games. Error 919 is somewhat a similar case which is caused due to improper APN Settings.
