[SOLVED] Google Play store not updating old nor installing new apps

This issue was resolved when I rebooted and reset my modem/router to factory settings. Phone seems to be updating from Google Play Store without any problem. Thanks for any assistance.

OK so I decided to try Oreo again but I still have the same problem; Google Play store not updating over wi-fi

NOTE: Found that Play Store works when on Mobile Data ONLY!!

Mobile Data ON & Data Saver OFF & Allow Background data on Play Store Tap Data usage and then Data saver.

NOTE: Found that Play Store works on wi-fi when I reboot to Safe Mode!

After reboot out of Safe Mode, install or update does not work on wi-fi but does work on Mobile data!

A few weeks ago I upgraded LineageOS from 14.1 to 15.1 using the instructions posted here:

[ROM][OFFICIAL][WEEKLY] LineageOS-15.1 for Google Nexus 4 (mako)

https://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/orig-development/rom-lineageos-15-1-google-nexus-4-mako-t3786885/

I wiped system, data, Dalvik and cache and flashed the ROM, addonsu, and Gapps which was successful and I was able to install OTA nightlys afterwards.

My previous 14.1 version updated and installed apps from the Play Store without any problems.

After this upgrade my Google Play Store stopped working, it will not update old apps nor install new apps.

The only reason I had any apps after the upgrade was because I backed them up before I flashed and installed them from their apk files in my phone storage.

I can connect with the Play store app over wi-fi and it shows updates available, but when I select download or update it just goes on forever and eventually times out, sometimes with Error 495, but sometimes not.

I can download and install apps from APKMirror, for example, using Firefox but not from the Play Store.

I can upload files to my Google Drive and my nightly, automatic, WhatsApp backups to Google work just fine.

What I have attempted to make the Play Store work:

Restarted router

Show SSID on router

IPv6 is off on router (TP-LINK W8961ND)

https://forum.tp-link.com/showthread.php?77054-TD-W8961ND-how-Disable-Ipv6

"W8961ND doesn't support IPv6 protocol"

Turned firewall off on router.

Check if firewalls are blocking access to ports required by Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228).

Confirmed there are no VPN's under Network & Internet under 15.1 and Wireless & networks in 14.1.

Confirmed I have no disabled apps.

Turned airplane mode on and off

Turned Wi-Fi on and off

I turned off Mobile Data and tried using Wi-Fi only

Allowed all Google system apps to "Modify System Settings"

Wiped cache and data and forced stop of the following:

Download Manager

Google Play Store

Google Play Services

Google Services Framework

I did "Uninstall updates" on the Google Play Store sys app.

Did restart while these apps were stopped.

Restarted to Recovery - wiped Dalvik + cache and Restarted system

Reflashed the latest pico Gapps successfully and restarted

Removed the hosts file and restarted:

Tried forcing Play Store to restore via terminal emulator

CODE:

su

CODE:

bmgr list sets

CODE:

bmgr restore "enter alphanumerical code"

After all this, I did a clean flash back to LineageOS 14.1. The Play Store still would not download over wi-fi. I ran 14.1 for a week without any success from Google Play.

18 June:

Did a clean flash back to the latest 15.1-20180618-nightly: still no Google Play over wi-fi.

Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN app ran fine on the old 14.1 and now it says my username and password incorrect which I have confirmed numerous times. PIA runs OK on my Nexus 7 tablet, OnePlus One LOS 14.1, Samsung 9.7 7.1.1 tablet, and my two Linux laptops.

Any suggestions about what else I might try will be greatly appreciated. :confused:
