Almost all owners of smartphones or tablets based on the Android operating system may face the fact that in the built-in Google Play service, downloading or updating applications may fail. One of the most common in the Play Market is error 495. It can immediately be said that the solutions proposed below are applicable for most failures of the 400th and 600th series. Problems with Wi-Fi connection or failures by the provider will not be considered now, since initially the problem itself is usually not this.
Play Market: error 495. We clear the cache and free up space on the internal drive
So, a message indicating this failure can only indicate that, for some reason, downloading content is not possible.
In the simplest case, this is due to a lack of disk space and an overflow of the Play Market service cache. Error 495 does not directly indicate this, but quite often it is connected with this. For starters, you can delete unused applications or files that are too large (photos, videos, music, etc.).
Then you should use the settings menu, select the application section, find the corresponding service in it, enter the settings and click the clear cache button, using the additional data deletion.
Google Play Market: error code 495. We remove updates
If the above actions do not give the desired result to fix the problem, then the problem is not that. As it turns out, error 495 may occur in the Play Market due to incorrectly installed updates of the service itself, when the updates were not fully downloaded or installed incorrectly due to communication failures.
In the same section where the cache was cleared, there is an uninstall button. Do not be alarmed, clicking on it will not delete the service completely, but only uninstalls the latest updates. After that, you will need to make an Internet connection, and new updates will be found and installed automatically.
Change the parameters of the DNS servers used to connect
Another situation that applies both to mobile devices and to cases where the Play Market version for the computer is used may be due to the lack of response from DNS servers (either incorrect settings are set or the automatically received parameters do not work for some reason).
In this situation, you can change these settings by setting default values for Google services. For DNS 1, a combination of four eights is set on the mobile device (the preferred DNS on the computer). For DNS 2 (an alternative DNS on the computer), a combination of two eights and two fours is written. Addresses can be swapped.
On mobile devices, these settings can be found in the Wi-Fi settings, where you select a network change with advanced settings, and then go to the IP settings (here first you need to set the user mode instead of DHCP).
On a computer, such a configuration is located in the section for changing the network adapter settings with the choice of TCP / IPv4 protocol properties.
Delete or re-create your Google Account
Finally, if this does not help, you can use the cardinal method - delete your registration for Google services, then restart the mobile device, and when connected to the network, create an “account” again or use the old account with the appropriate Gmail email address. In principle, any of these methods can solve the problem of the inability to download data from the Play Market service. If you advise any specific solution, it is better to execute all the decisions sequentially, because deleting the registration is already the most extreme method when everything else does not help. But if you look, as a rule, it doesn’t come to this.
