If you analyze all the software that causes error 492 when downloading from the Play Market, you will notice one common feature - they all use an additional component for their work. Namely, a virtual machine known as Java.
Fortunately, getting rid of this conflict situation is usually very easy.

How to solve the problem

How to fix Application Error 492? This is usually not difficult, just follow the instructions below:

  1. Most owners of equipment on the Android OS know perfectly well what the settings menu icon looks like. Click on it.
  2. Find the subsection "Application" and, of course, go into it.
  3. A list of what is now installed on the mobile phone will appear on the screen before your eyes. Including our problem software. Click on its name.
  4. An additional menu will open with some information, at the bottom of which you can contemplate a button offering to clear the cache. Take advantage of this offer.
  5. That's not all! Return again to the above open list. Find Google Play Services in it.
  6. Go to them and perform a similar action. That is, it is corny to press the exact same button.

Almost always, this technique is sufficient to solve the problem. There is a small chance that this will not be enough. In this case, it is recommended to reset the parameters of the mobile phone to its original state. Of course, you will first need to save all the important information somewhere else. For example, use a removable flash drive for this.

Play Market is an official store that allows all users of Android devices to purchase books, music, films and install games and applications. But when working with it, problems arise that will prevent you from taking a certain action. If an obstacle appears that the device cannot bypass on its own, a notification will appear on the screen, which will indicate a unique error code to help determine the cause of the problem and solve it.

Possible time of the error in the Play Store

The Play Market errors described in this article occur when downloading, installing and updating applications and games. These errors have the following numbers: 400, 404, 406, 409, 410, 420, 481, 489, 490, 491, 492, 495, 497, 498. They look something like this (the language in which the notification will be displayed will depend depending on which country is listed in your Google account):

An illustrative example of an error

Causes of problems on Android

Each of these errors can be caused by the following reasons:

  • The connection to the Play Market servers was interrupted due to the instability of the Wi-Fi network or the disconnection of the mobile Internet connection (errors with codes 400, 489, 406, 497, 410, 492, 481). In this case, restarting the device or setting up the network connection may help.
  • Application files have been corrupted by a virus or user intervention.
  • There is not enough space on the device to install or update an application.
  • Excessive cache has accumulated in the Play Market, interfering with its work (errors with codes 404, 490, 491, 420, 495, 409, 498). Clearing the cache, stopping the application, and uninstalling updates will help fix this problem.

Please note that an error with a code, for example, 489, can be fixed in some cases not only by rebooting the device and setting up an Internet connection, but also in other ways described in the article below.

Elimination and resolution of errors

If during the installation, download or update of an application or game, the process was interrupted, and an error appeared with one of the above codes, then follow all the instructions below that correspond to your error code. If none of the methods related to your error helped to fix it, then try the other solutions to the problem, as there is a great chance that they will help.

Reboot

Free memory check

Before proceeding with the problem, make sure there is enough free space on your device for the application you are installing or updating.

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Go to the "Memory" section.
  3. Wait for the device to automatically calculate how much free space is left on your device at the moment.
  4. If there is not enough space, and a memory card is inserted into your phone or tablet, you can change the main memory from internal to MicroSD.

Internet connection setup

Try downloading any other application or opening the page in a browser to make sure that the Internet connection is stable. If everything is in order, then we follow the instructions, if the problem turns out to be in the Internet connection, then it is already necessary to decide how to fix it, and not the Play Market.

Deactivating antivirus

If any antivirus is installed on your device, then launch it and deactivate protection for a while. Try to take the action that caused the error. If the problem is solved, then remove this antivirus and try using any other. If the error reappears, go to the instructions below.

Clearing the cache

Cache - temporary files that appear on the device after watching videos, listening to music and using various programs, including the Play Market. Sometimes, a large amount of cache can lead to incorrect operation of the store. In this case, it must be cleaned:

  1. While in the device settings, go to the "Memory" section.
  2. Scroll down the page and click on the "Cash" button.
  3. Confirm the action.

Stopping processes manually

If the error persists after freeing memory and deleting the cache, then the problem lies in the Play Market application itself. The first thing to try is to disable and stop everything related to the operation of the store.

  1. While in the device settings, go to the "Applications" section.
  2. We pass to the subsection "All".
  3. We are looking for the Play Market in the general list and open its personal settings.
  4. We successively press the buttons "Stop" and "Disable".
  5. We return to the general list and go to the Google Service Framework settings.
  6. We use the button "Stop", and then "Disable".
  7. Again, go back to the list and go to the "Google Play Services" application.
  8. We successively press the same buttons: "Stop" and "Disable". Now we are trying to reopen the store and do what was previously impossible due to an error.

Clearing data and cache manually

If the forced stop of all services related to Google Play did not help, then you need to clear the data and cache of all these services:

  1. In the device settings, go to the "Applications" section.
  2. Go to the general list of applications by opening the "All" subsection.
  3. Find the Play Market in the list and open detailed information about it.
  4. Press the buttons "Stop", "Erase data" and "Clear cache" in sequence.
  5. Go back to the general lists, go to information about the Google Service Framework and do the same with it as with the Play Market itself. Repeat the same steps with Google Play services, and then check if the error is gone or not.

Rollback of Play Market updates

The error may have appeared as a result of an unsuccessful application update that resulted in file corruption. In this case, it is worth removing all Play Market updates by rolling it back to the earliest available version.

Change Google Account

It may be that your device is out of sync with your Google account. To restore it, you need to log in to your account again:

  1. In the device settings, go to the "Accounts" section.
  2. Click on the Google logo.
  3. Click on your unique username.
  4. Press the button "Delete account" and confirm the action.
  5. Now we re-enter your account using your username and password.

Reset content and settings

This method should be used only as a last resort, when none of the above has helped. The main disadvantage of resetting content and settings is that all the parameters you have changed since the day you activate the device, and all the content contained in the device's memory will be irretrievably lost. You need to use a rollback to factory settings due to the fact that an error in the Play Market occurs due to problems caused by the operating system. The system, in turn, does not work correctly due to changes made to it using changed settings and installed applications. Before proceeding with the reset, be sure to download all the important information stored on your phone or tablet to another medium, and also remove the SIM card and memory card from the device so that they are not accidentally damaged during the reset process.

Features of error elimination for different versions of Android

There is another reason why an error with one of the above numbers may occur - an outdated firmware version, or a too old phone model. If there is only one solution for the second reason - buy a new device that will support the application you want, then for the first reason there is another solution - a software update.

  1. While in the device settings, go to the "About phone" section.
  2. We pass to the subsection "System update".
  3. We are waiting for the device to automatically check for available updates and prompt you to install them. We start downloading and installing.
  4. We are waiting for the end of the process. Do not interrupt it under any circumstances, otherwise the firmware will not be installed correctly, and the device will turn into a brick because of this.

So, if an error appears in the Play Market with the code 400, 404, 406, 409, 410, 420, 481, 489, 490, 491, 492, 495, 497, 498, then you need to fix it yourself. This can be done by the following methods: restart the device, set up an Internet connection, stop all applications associated with Google Play, as well as clear their cache and data, update the firmware version. But the only thing that can really help you is resetting the settings and content, since with the factory settings, the application cannot crash.
