Google Play - Error DF-BPA-09 'Error Processing Purchase'

Problem

Google Play Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-09happens quite often when trying to download an app. This problem won't go away if you simply try downloading again, so you'll need to go into the settings.

Solution

The problem is not due to individual users, but comes from Google Play itself, so we're hoping it will be fixed in the near future. In the meantime, here is what you can do:

• Go into the Settings of your device
• Tap on Apps or Applications Manager (the name varies depending on your device).
• Swipe to the All column.
• Scroll down until you see Google Services Framework
• Finally, choose Clear data and then OK.

If this doesn't work, go on to the Google Play site on your PC and install the app that is giving you issues on your smartphone or tablet from there. When you go back to your device, the install should work.

Google Play – Error DF-BPA-30

Problem

The cause of this error comes from Google servers themselves. First, we should tell you that waiting is a good idea, but other solutions work for some users.

Solution

• Open the Google Play Store on the web (use a PC, for example)
• Then choose an application to install on your Android, which should logically send you the infamous error [DF-BPA-30]
• Get back on your smartphone and try the download, which should now be operational again

Otherwise, you can try to delete the data or clear the cache of "Google Play Services".

• Download and install the latest Google Play Services APK

• Finally, open theSettings> Applications> All> Google Services Framework. Inside, you must click Options 'Clear Data' and 'Force Stop'

Google Play – Error authentication required

Problem

Strangely, this problem is quite common on Android devices. But rest assured, we have three possible solutions to deal with it. One of these tips should hopefully resolve your problem.

Solutions

1. Enter the Accounts tab in the settings of your phone. Then remove your Google account and add it again. If everything works fine after, then it was a simple error that's sometimes displayed after an update.

2. Go into your Settings,tap Application manager then go into the Google Play Store. Delete the data from this menu (you can also clear the cache).

3. Maybe the problem is not really in your authentication, but the Play Store itself. In this case, you only have to go to application settings (Settings> Applications), search the Play Store and click Uninstall updates. You might need to disable the Play Store to get this started. That way you get the initial Play Store version that you had when you first purchased the phone. After that, you just have to update it and then re-register.

Problem

This error occurs when you want to download an application and the download stops.

Solution

Make sure you have Google Play Services installed. If the problem persists, go to the application list and enter Google Play Services and disable the application. It will then ask if you want to restore the factory settings and you just have to confirm. If this does not solve the problem, you should contact Google support.

Google Play – Error 18

Problem

Error 18 has been around since late 2015 and happens when you want to reinstall an application that you already had in the past. There is no quick fix to this problem, but some tricks can help.

Solution

After going on several forums, it seems that some users were able to resolve error 18 by disconnecting and reconnecting the SD or microSD memory card. However, it does not appear that it's working for all users. If the problem persists, you can try to contact Google's online support. The final and drastic solution is a factory reset.

Google Play – Error 20

Problem

This problem occurs when installing or updating an Android app.

Solution

To resolve this error, you must have a rooted device, since you will need to access a file named 'smd2tmp1' found in / mnt / secure / asec /. If your phone is rooted, you can delete this folder, which should permanently resolve the problem.

If you don't want to root your device, there is another solution. Delete the file / data / data of the application that's causing you problems. Use file explorer to access the folder. To do this, I suggest you check out our best file managers for Android article.

Problem

This is a mysterious problem, which occurs when Google Play thinks an application is compatible with a device, but it actually isn't. It can then cause the 103 error to occur and recur on all your other devices, including those that are compatible.

Solution

Generally, there isn't anything you need to do on your side, since this error will solve itself after a few hours. The cause of the problem? An application signature concern. If you have developer knowledge, you can try to resolve it by signing the application again with the JDK tool 1.6+ release. If the error persists more than 48 hours, contact Google Support.

Google Play - Error 100

Problem

When you try to install or update an app from the Play Store, it sends an error message stating, "App can't be installed due to an Error 100 – No Connection."

Also, check if you have set the correct Time Zone too. If not, switch to Manual Mode and look for the time zone of your region. Restart your device. If this doesn't work, proceed to next step.

3. Delete your Google Play Store data in Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Store > Clear data. Delete data from Google Services Framework as well (note: this will assign a new Google ID to your device, as if you had factory reset it, meaning your Google apps may temporarily act up afterward).

2. Scroll across to All and then down to the Google Play Store app.
3. Open the app details and tap the Force stop button.

Second solution

Clear the proxy you have possibly set up, by going into the Settings, then choose Wireless and Networks (or More networks) and then Mobile Network. Select APN, which stands for Access Point Name and hit Clear Proxy Option. You can always reinstate the proxy afterwards.
