So, let’s begin. Check network settings and other apps For starters, check your network connection. Open a browser and load any page.

01:18 - If there are no network issues and the page is loaded successfully, go on to the next step. If this error appeared after you’ve installed a third-party app, we need to check this specific app - what if that’s your troublemaker? Do it by booting your device in the safe mode. Restart your phone, press and hold a certain combination of buttons. This combination varies depending on a specific phone brand and model, so to be on the safe side, don’t guess: just search this information on the Internet, using A phrase like “Boot phone in safe mode” and add your model name. When your phone starts in the safe mode, all third-party apps are disabled including those that may interfere its connection to Google Play Store server.

02:02 - If the Play Store app works normally in the safe mode, then it must be a third-party app that’s causing problems. Restart the phone back into the normal mode and disable all third- party apps one by one until you find the culprit. Alternatively, start by removing the app which was installed last before you faced this error. Some phone models may not have a safe mode option at all. In this case, try disabling third-party apps one by one.

02:30 - Most often, the ones to blame are antiviruses, VPN tools, ad blockers, all kinds of memory boosters and accelerators.
