What to do there is no play market. Restoring Play Market on Android devices

Users of Android smartphones and tablets cannot do without Google Play Market. Where else if not from it to download applications, music, games? Yes, some people use third-party resources, but they are not nearly as safe in terms of virus threats.

Problems with launching Google Play make it impossible not only to install new programs, but also to update old ones. This means that without it, the device remains defenseless (updates close vulnerabilities in applications that can be exploited by viruses and hackers). In a word, if it doesn’t work for you Play Market, take immediate action to resolve this failure.

To make your task easier, we have divided the problems into several groups according to their causes and solutions.

Cache memory errors or failure in system application settings

Google Play, like many other applications, uses a cache (a special storage location for frequently used data for quick loading into memory). It contains information about recent actions in the program. If an error creeps in, the Play Market will reproduce it until the data in the cache is updated.

To speed up this process, clear the Google Play cache manually:

• Open Android Settings.
• Go to the "Applications" section.
• Find Google Play Market in the list of programs.
• Tap the Erase Data and Clear Cache buttons.

If the Play Store still does not open, restart your device.

If update errors occur installed applications do the same with " Google Play Services«.

In addition, to download new programs and install updates to old ones, correct operation is required " Download Manager" And " Application Manager. Normally, both should be on the list running programs.

Update errors

If the problem with opening occurred immediately or a short time after installing a more recent version of Coogle Play, roll back the program to the previous installation. Along with the Market update, remove the Google Play Services update.

The uninstall updates button is located in the same menu as the clear cache options.

If there is no such button, it means that the program has never been updated (there are no previous versions).

Problems with the user's Google account

The inability to access the Play Market often occurs due to problems with the user account. Perhaps you recently changed the password for the gmail.com mailbox to which your profile is linked, or there was a failure on the Google server and Android stopped recognizing you.

To restore access to your account, connect your tablet or phone to the Internet (via a SIM card or Wi-Fi), go to “Settings” and open the accounts section. The screenshot below shows what the Gmail sync issue looks like.

If you see the same picture, open the menu of this section and tap “Sync now”.

If the error persists, delete your Google account on your phone (the button is located here) and create it again. Or get yourself another gmail.com account and log in under it.

Installation errors or corruption of the program executable file

Often the failure is manifested by constant messages “An error has occurred in the Google Play Market application.” It pops up when the user tries to launch the application or perform any action in it (search, download). And in some cases - by itself, when some of installed programs decides to check the update in background.

You can try to deal with this error using the methods described above. If all else fails, the following options remain:

• Perform a system restore from backup copy(if you created it in advance, for example, in the Android gadget management program for Windows MyPhoneExplorer).
• Remove Play Market from your device and install it again. For this you will need root rights(received in advance).
• Perform a factory reset on your tablet or phone (Hard Reset/Wipe).

How to reinstall Play Store

• Download or copy executable file Google Play Market in .apk format from a properly working Android phone or tablet.
• Enable permission to install applications from unknown sources on the problematic device. The option is located in the Security or Protection menu of the Settings app.

• Transfer the file to the problematic device and start the installation (touch it with your finger).
• If nothing happens or you see the message again Play error Market, open the \data\app\ directory and place the file there.

By the way, to remove the faulty copy of the Market and reinstall it, you can use the same MyPhoneExplorer. After synchronizing your phone with the program, go to the “Files” - “Applications” section, click the line highlighted in the screenshot and click the “Delete” button.

Next, click on the “Download application” icon on the top panel and specify the path to the .apk file.

Viral infection

There are modifications of malware that block the launch of the Android Market so that the user cannot download the antivirus, or even delete the original file and replace it with an infected copy. We talked about what to do in such cases in the article about ways to remove viruses on Android.

After scanning with an antivirus, when malware will be neutralized, you may have to replace the infected Play Market with a clean one.

Play Market is not installed

Today, Android smartphones without pre-installed Google services have appeared on the Russian market. In particular, products from the Chinese manufacturer Meizu, for example, Meizu M3 Note, Meizu M3 Mini and other models. Devices purchased in our country make it possible to easily correct this shortcoming by installing the necessary equipment using another application.

So, to install the Play Store on your Meizu device, tap the “Best” application icon. It contains a selection of programs available for quick download, including Google tools. Tap the Install button under the Google Services icon. After installation, reboot the device.

Application conflict

Some users learned that some Android programs may not work well with Google Play after installing Freedom. “Freedom” is an application for bypassing the official authorization service for users making purchases in game stores. Thanks to this, dishonest players have the opportunity to purchase virtual goods without paying.

If collaboration Freedom and Play Market on your device is impossible, you will have to give up something.

Blocking Google Play Market access to network resources

Sometimes Freedom does not block the launch of the Market, but prevents it from connecting to the Internet. When trying to download something, the user sees messages: “The program was unable to contact Google servers" or " Network connection missing, please try again later."

If you have root rights, solving the problem is not difficult - just make adjustments to system file Hosts (on Android it performs the same function as on Windows - it maps domains to IP addresses). The file is located in the \system\etc\ folder. You can get into it either through the Android root explorer (for example, “Root Explorer”), or through the already familiar MyPhoneExplorer running on a Windows machine.

Open hosts file with the help text editor, for example, notepad, and delete all entries from it except “127.0.0.1 localhost”. Save without extension by selecting the file type - “All files”.

If network connection errors are not related to Freedom, check your security software settings. It's possible that Market's access to the network is blocked by a firewall.

Firmware corruption and hardware failure

The most difficult case. A fatal firmware failure or hardware malfunction of the device can be assumed in the following situations:

• The problem arose after an adverse effect on the device: failed update firmware, falling, connecting to a faulty charger, etc.
• Along with the Play Market, other applications have stopped working or the failure occurs haphazardly: the program sometimes works, sometimes it doesn’t.
• There are other symptoms of a malfunction - freezes, spontaneous reboots, shutdowns, overheating, inadequate load on resources.
• The above tips did not help solve the problem. It remained even after resetting the settings to factory settings (wipe).

There are only two ways out of this situation - reinstall the firmware yourself or entrust diagnostics and repairs to service specialists.

If the Play Market does not work on your phone or tablet, then the reason for this may be a number of errors, ranging from a crash to a conflict with other applications. To prevent Play Market from breaking, you have to look through a large number of settings and try different ways troubleshooting.

Bug fix

If Google Play Market does not start on your tablet or phone, first restart the device. Restarting the system eliminates simple software glitches that prevent the Play Market from working.

If rebooting does not help, and the Play Market on Android still does not open, check the availability and speed of the Internet. If you connect to the network via WiFi, there may be channel congestion, due to which the speed will drop significantly. The cause of the failure may also lie in a missing communication signal when using mobile traffic.If there is no connection, then the Play Market will take a long time to launch and open.

One more possible reason Problems - incorrectly set date. To change date and time settings:

1. Open settings.
2. Go to the “System” section. Find the "Date and Time" submenu.
3. Set the correct value.

If these simple methods did not help eliminate the errors of the working Play Market, and it still writes that the launch is impossible, then you will have to use other methods.

Working with built-in applications on Android

If there are no problems with the date or Internet connection using WiFi or mobile traffic, and the Play Market does not start, then work with the temporary data of the built-in programs. You should start with the Play Market:

1. Open the "Applications" section in Settings, go to the "All" tab to display the built-in programs.
2. Go to Play Market settings.
3. Erase data and clear cache.

Check if the app store is working. If not, go back to its settings and uninstall the updates. Check the program status again.

If uninstalling updates and clearing the Play Store cache did not help, follow similar steps with other programs - Google Play Services and Google Services Framework.

Also, make sure that the Download Manager application is enabled on your system. You can also find it on the “All” tab in the “Applications” section.

Deleting an account

Deleting and re-adding your Google profile can help resolve the problem.

1. Find the Accounts section in Settings.
2. Open the sync options for the Google profile you are using.
3. Call up the additional menu and select “Synchronize” to create an up-to-date backup.
4. Call up the additional menu again and select “Delete”.

After deleting the profile, reboot your device. The next time you start, go back to the settings and add your account again by entering your email and password.

Another important note regarding your account is that the Google Accounts app must be enabled in your settings. You can check the status and, if necessary, launch the built-in program for working with profiles in the “Applications” section on the “All” tab.

Troubleshooting application incompatibilities

One of the reasons for blocking the Play Market is work third party applications. First of all, we are talking about the Freedom program, which allows you to make in-game purchases from a fictitious card. If the Play Market does not connect or is not updated after Freedom, then you need to clean the hosts file. The reason that the Play Market on Android does not work may be incorrect entries added by the Freedom program. To remove them you will need root rights.

If the problem disappears after a reboot, then you have correctly diagnosed why the Play Market application is not working.

Reset settings

What to do if the Play Market store does not work, and all of the above methods have been tried and found to be useless? In this situation, there is only one way out - deleting all information from the device.

1. Back up your important data: contacts, messages, photos, videos, etc.
2. Open settings, go to the “Backup and reset” submenu.
3. Select Reset Settings. Click Reset Settings.
4. Confirm the operation and wait for it to complete.

Resetting settings completely clears internal memory, however the information on external storage remains untouched. Therefore, the same photos and videos can be saved by simply moving them to a memory card. Contacts can be synced with Google account. Resetting settings is a drastic way to solve the problem, so you have to resort to it extremely rarely. Usually the answer to the question why the Play Market application does not work on Android is much faster and safer for personal data.

Problems on Meizu smartphones

If Google Play Market does not work on your Meizu phone, then you do not need to use the methods listed above. Chinese developers (we are talking about official Meizu products) are making Google Play Services available as an installer. This is done so that when you first start the device, Google service updates are immediately installed.

If you forgot your Google account login password or it was deleted for some reason, you will be denied access to all services of this Internet monster, including the Google Play Market, from which almost all programs on Android are downloaded. This is due to the fact that an active Google account is a kind of pass to log into any of its applications. To decide this problem, you need to recover your lost password. One good thing is that this can be done in the vast majority of cases.

The procedure for returning access to the Play Market

To regain access to the Play Market on Android, you need to recover the password for your account Google posts. In this case, the sequence of resuscitation will depend on whether you indicated when registering new account, your personal data (initials, real number mobile phone, additional mailbox etc.). If the registration has been completed completely, then there will be no problems with resuscitation. Otherwise, this procedure will take more resources from you.

It may also happen that, having received superuser rights (root access) on Android, you mistakenly erased the Play Market utility on your phone. In this case, instead of recovering the password, you will need to reinstall the deleted Google Play and synchronize it with your Google account, since all services of this company are interconnected.

Restoring access to your Google account if you have personal data

If you are unable to log into your Google Play Market account or any other Google services, you should contact a directory specially created for such purposes (Google Account Recovery). In it you can find a solution to many problems related to the performance of your mailbox and other applications. If you have no desire to search additional information, you can use the instructions below.

Recovering your Google Play Market password if you have personal data is not difficult. This requires:

1. WITH personal computer Through any browser, go to the Google home page and click “Login.”
2. In the form that opens, click on “Can’t log into your account?”
3. After this, you should select the first item and enter the address in the appropriate line email, linked to the Google Play Market service.
   
4. Then enter the phone number specified when registering your mail.
   
5. Within a few minutes, your mobile gadget should receive an SMS message with a verification code. It should be entered in the box that appears.
   
6. If everything is done correctly, a form will open in which you can specify New Password.
   

By following these simple steps, you will revive your mailbox and restore access to the Google Play Market.

How to regain access to Google services if personal data is missing?

It is a little more difficult to restore access to the Google Play Market when personal data was not specified when registering an account or it was changed.

If everything is done correctly, then after 1-2 days a letter from Google technical support will be sent to the specified email with further instructions. By completing them and specifying a new password, you can restore your account in the Play Market and other Google applications.

The email may end up in spam, so if it doesn't arrive within the stated time frame, please check your spam folder.

What to do if the Play Market was accidentally deleted?

Google Play Market is present by default in the factory firmware of a tablet or phone running Android. Therefore, there is no need to install it additionally. But what to do if the user this application accidentally deleted it? Of course, install it again.

If you don't have the Play Store installed on your phone, you don't have access to a huge app store for mobile devices. Only in the official store you will find a huge number of games, programs and updates for them. Don’t let the word “store” scare you; a significant portion of applications are available for free or “shareware”.

Usually, when you buy a phone or tablet from a well-known brand, the Play Market is already installed on the device. But it happens that if you buy a device from a less popular manufacturer, you won’t find the app store icon. Then you will need these instructions for installing it on your Android.

Step 1: Installation

To install Play Market on your device, you first need to provide the device with Internet access.
Then you need to download the file “Play_Market_7.4.09_install.apk”. Do this via the link https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw7wAPK2PGTlOXNOZEthaWN5a3c/view.

To install it on your phone or tablet, go to “Settings”, select “Security” and check the box next to “Unknown sources”. By this action you agree to download the file.

Next you need to find the downloaded file. It is usually located in the "Downloads" folder of your device. Run “Play_Market_7.4.09_install.apk” and follow the instructions on the screen to install the Play Market on your Android. You can read how to launch apk files in our separate article.

Step 2. Registration

There is very little time left before downloading games and programs from the official application store. You need to register with Google. If you have an account, skip the second step and simply log in.

To register an account, find the “Play Market” icon that appears on the device’s desktop. Click on it.

The first step is to come up with a unique name (login) for your Google account.

The second action will be to enter a password. Write it down or remember it. It should not be simple, contain only small or large letters, repeated characters, or all of the above. For example, passwords like “sasha1991”, “qwerty123456”, “Aa12345” are very light. But the combinations “o8mbXslT” or “RoMZqXcj6GPa” will be difficult to find, which dramatically increases the security of your account.

Step 3: Use

After completing registration in the Play Store, we recommend restarting your phone and waiting 5-10 minutes for the necessary files to be downloaded to automatic mode. Installation complete! Now millions of entertaining and educational applications are available to you!

Hello, smartphone owners who see their device not only as a phone, but also as a convenient device for work, planning the day and entertainment.

1. From your PC, go to the main page of the official Google website.
2. Click "Login". When the “Can’t sign in to your account?” form opens.
3. Then enter the email address that was linked to the service and your phone number.
4. You will receive a code via SMS, after entering it you will create a new password.

1. On the main page Google page Now in the window, click “I can’t use my phone.”
2. To verify your identity, you will answer questions, mainly related to the dates of login and creation of your account.
3. And after that, a letter with instructions from technical support will be sent to the specified mailbox.

Frequent problems with Play Market

The Play Market on the device may not launch if it crashes or the system is attacked by viruses.

Restarting Android may help. Or just reset the Play Store settings and clear temporary memory. Go to “Applications”, click on Play Market. There you can click a button to clear the cache and delete data.

You can also try refusing updates. Sometimes the previous version is more friendly with a particular smartphone. It's not always a matter of imperfect updates. It’s just that sometimes the parameters of a weak device are better accepted by less modified, and therefore lighter, older versions of programs.

If you have problems with the Play Market, you can restart your Google account. To do this, you need to log out and log in again by re-entering your email and password. Then be sure to start syncing.

Resetting Android settings is almost a last resort. But if you have to resort to it to adjust the operation of services on Google, including the Play Market, then do not forget to first save documents that are important to you.
