[Q] Why do I continue to get download error 498? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Please help! I am Android challenged and need help figuring out a download problem. I can't seem to download any apps from Google Playstore without a 498 error message. I installed a new 8G SD card and can't get any apps to download. The only info I can find is that it is a server error and should clear up. That was 4 days ago.
Phone is a Galaxy S Samsung model # SGH-I897.
Thanx.

I have the same problem. Before, I used Setxperia to swap in '/cache'. So,I go to '/cache/swap' by root explorer then delete swapfile.swp. This really fix my problem.

Android Market showing "You don't have any devices."

I've searched the forum and couldn't find any thread related to my problem.
Problem:​Android market says "You don't have any devices." but i have installed 100s of apps from 'Market app' on the phone,
I am logging in with same google account.
Is there any solution for my problem.? Is anyone else facing the same..
One more thing, ' Market App' on my phone, it is working very slow. i have fast internet connection (Wi-fi) even than it take 5-7 minutes for 'searching' and 'Loading'. Is it normal?
P.S. My device is new, nothing is rooted or changed. Its right out of the box as samsung build it.
I have found this, seems i am not alone.,
Any body on XDA facing same problem??
I'm not sure if this will help but have you tried going to settings- applications - manage applications - all tab- market- uninstall updates.
Might be worth a try for a start.
There no option of " Uninstall Updates" in 'all tab- market-'
Its new phone, I`m facing this problem since DAY-1,
Any expert on XDA can help me here..
Will rooting my device help? Or ROM change?

Rooting will make no difference. I'm not really sure why you are having this problem. Maybe somebody else may have some ideas.
You could try downloading the new market. Google market v3.1.3 and install that.
If you are still unable to solve the problem you could try the reset code in phone dialer *2767*3855#
This will totally reset your phone to factory settings as a last resort.
I've installed Market 3.1.3 as u said, but now, nothing is loading up in market, and after 1-2 mins it says, "Connection time up" [retry]. Internet is working fine on other apps, like stock browser or YouTube.
I uninstalled the new market app.
Back to ground ZERO.
Like I said you could try *2767*3855#
In phone dialer. However this will reset your phone and delete everything.
I know this will be useless, cos, when i just bought the device and faced the problem i did reset to factory setting by *2767*3855# , and nothing happens...
ANyway, thanks for ur help..

Ah ok sorry I can't help.
same problem here...
very annoying since I love installing apps through the market web site.
anyway we can still download and install apps directly with the market App
Is there any solution to this problem?
Hi this is something to do with google services framework.
Yesterday I have tried clearing this data related to google services framework..to get 4.0.4 update but..nothing worked and I am ended up with your issue. May be updating phone software may solve the problem.
I can't believe there is still no solution for this problem....

Try logging into Google Dashboard. You don't have to do anything else, merely logging into Dashboard solved my problem!

I just flashed a new version of a ROM (on Galaxy III) but I got the no device message from my PC. I tried to clear data for Framework services and Play store no luck. Tried this suggestion and it worked right away! Thanks!

Can't download on wifi "appname" could not be downloaded due to an error - 403

Can't download on wifi "appname" could not be downloaded due to an error - 403
Can't download on wifi "appname" could not be downloaded due to an error - 403
Hey Guys, so I've been having the error 403 when trying to update or install ANY apps via Wi-Fi, ones I have purchased and ones that are free. But I can download when I am connected to my phone data (vodafone AU).
I have tried restoring via nandroid backup (i think I have gapps installed, even though I am still on the stock ROM), forgetting the gmail account, and then logging back in, restarting (duh), logging back into wifi, cleared cache etc, basically all the fixes people have said.
PLEASE HELP ASAP!
P.S I am rooted and would unroot for it to work, btw would reseting the router do anything? :crying:
114 views, no replies, so that would imply its not just me with this problem?
First try and go to settings/appmanager, find play store and clear the cache.
Write back if it's not fixed.
It didn't help :-\

Actually i didn't I'll try that now
I completely removed root using: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721380 guide which you install the stock EVERYTHING i guess and it still doesn't work :crying: PLEASE HELP!
Edit: I used my nandroid backup not the one supplied (it gave me md5 mismatch)
That is one of the best unroot and back to stock guides..
Can i ask were u are from. Maybe Google or your country removed access to paid apps,because your wifi is working for browsing and u are able to download free apps.
So either access to paid apps have been removed or did u log in using a different gmail account .
I did have a similar problem more than a year ago and sometimes i get the 403 error, but only for an hour or so.
Ps. I has nothing to do with root, a lot of apps can not be used without root and can bought on market.
Edit:can u buy new apps. Can u try(just one) and return the purchase immediately .to if your account is up and running.
The problem isn't root or stock, I'm on stock and I get this regularly if I start a download just as I have switched on Wifi, if it fails, i start again it works fine.

I did read thank you, and I am also talking about receiving a 403 error.
But, As I have stated, it usually only happens immediately after connecting wifi. If I click ok and try again it usually works the second time.

I'm in Australia (Perth, WA), and I cannot download free apps, or update apps for that matter.
Edit: BTW some of my router ports have been forwarded could that screw it up?

That could potentially yes.
I just recalled another time I had this problem, and it was solved by selecting a different account (because I had multiple Google accounts set up).
Do you have multiple? If so, give it a go by selecting an alternative account from within Play Store, by hitting Menu - > Accounts.

Yeah, I've tried that :\
Another way to fix it (but this is old, sgs1). Clear your play store data on the phone. Then log in to the internet Google store from the browser, download any app and try again from the play store app

It didn't work but thanks (thankyou everyone) and I think it is the forwarding ports problem or the new Google Play update
Sorry 'bout that. But port forwarding shouldn't interfere with play store. Maybe I'm wrong. Ooh well good luck anyway

You obviously don`t have root anymore. I suggest rooting your phone again and check if you get proper root. Then you can edit whatever you need in the host file.
You can also try to remove your google account , erase all data from PlayStore and then log in with your account, this works with most errors.

Hi,
My phone is rooted, i tried the "su and after that: set-install-location 0" command, i have 1.4G free but still can't update my apps, resulting in the error insufficient storage... I can still install new ones and my OS is android 4.4.2
Is there a simple way to fix this problem ?
Thanks in advance for your help guys

May this process work for you.
Try using lucky patcher,
navigate to troubleshoot in menu > remove fixes and backup' (insufficient storage available).
Regards,
hitman-xda
i can't install applications anymore...
I tried to delete some but couldn't install new ones... that's the new problem to add to my first post.
I desinstalled Whatsapp and can't reinstall it, i desinstalled Skype and reinstalled it with success...
Did you tried factory resetting?
If not, then try it.
not yet, i'm affraid to loose some of my data for angry birds epic for example
You need to sacrifice something to get your phone work properly.
i just put angry birds epic on my msd but i still have the problem...
I'll try to reset the phone but it's really a pain in the ass to have to root my phone again and all...
