Have this ever happened to you? You find an interesting
application and try to download it, only to receive a cryptic error
message containing seemingly random numbers from Google Play Store. Or you
try to open Google Play Store and it’s not responding… It can be pretty
annoying right?

An android user who hasn’t experience the Google Play

bad. Whether Google play store won’t open on your device or you are simply
experiencing an error message, this is what to do to fix such error.

1. Clear the Google Play Store cache

lines as our first tip, but is more drastic. It sets the app back to
square one and gets rid of your saved information, hopefully
including whatever data was causing the problem.

also caused by prolonged use of VPN's and change of server
It happened to a phone I was configuring for someone today after changing his Google account .

That means, u didn't do it right?
I did it right. Everything is working but just the Googleplay. I even clear the data and install the latest Googleplay and still the same. I think it's because of the type of phone because I have done that before several times.

I have a Tecno K7. It is now so slow: to start, when it starts something or another is NOT RESPONDING.
It is very slow, and sometimes it takes very long to start.
i kindly ask for assistance.
Hello Francis,
Sorry about what you are currently facing with your device, but you are experiencing this because most of the apps you have installed on your device have too much cache. You’ll need to clear some of them.
Go to Settings, Apps, open individual apps and clear the data and cache. Do it for all your apps but don’t touch Google Play store and Google play services.
Note: Some of the apps after clearing the data cache will prompt you to login again. Reboot your device and it should work better now.
Alternatively, Go to settings, About phone. Check if an update is available for your device, if available, update your device and it will fix every known errors.
