How to Fix Common Google Play Store Error Codes

 Google Play Store is the one-stop destination to grab your essential Android apps and games. While it is secure and easily accessible, sometimes, it fails to keep the bugs and errors away. It gets frustrating to encounter indecipherable error codes with no real way to fix them. 



Google Play Store faces various such errors. But here we are, with the solutions of most common errors to sidestep your annoyances.

Error 944 / “Error retrieving information from the server “/ rpc: s-5: AEC-0

Error 9447 is the most common and easy to crack Google Play Store error codes. If you’re surfing Google Play Store, during the unfortunate times of the server being offline, or when the server is suffering from connectivity issues, you will surely encounter error 944. The only solution to this is to wait for a while and try again. We do understand that this can be annoying, but at least, now you know that there is nothing wrong with your device.

Error DF-BPA-09 / 18

This is another fairly common error code. You might come across this error while trying to download a purchased app. To save a little bit of your time, know that trying over and over again will not fix this error, but clearance of the Play Store app data will. Just follow this sequence to clear the useless data stored in your application. Open Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > Google Services Framework > Storage & cache > Clear storage & Clear cache.

This method will not be helpful if the problem is at Google’s end. In that case, you may consider logging into the Google Play Store from your PC.

Error 103

Error 103 occurs when your device is not compatible with the app you are attempting to install. In the first place, Google should not have allowed the installation of an incompatible application, but if it did, it means some bug or server error has caused the conflict.

The solution is to wait until the Play Store finally updates to make sure your phone receives the right package. 

Error 403

The 403 error, unfortunately, means that downloads and updates are not possible. The cause of this problem is a conflict between two or more Google accounts buying apps on a single device.

To fix this, log into the Google account using which you purchased the app. Uninstall it, and then hit the purchase or install option once again.

If the error 403 still occurs, try removing your Play Store search history. To do so, open the Google Play Store, and then tap on Settings > Clear local search history. You can also try creating a new Google Play account after installing the app again. Because your previous Play Store account is where the problem had initiated. 

Error 481

The error 481 means the end of the road for your Google account. Unfortunately, something majorly wrong has happened to your account. The only fix to this error is, remove your old account and sign up for a new one.

Error 501 / “Authentication required” error

These errors will show up when the Google Play Store is unable to load. And usually, this problem points to an account authentication issue.

For some people, simple closing and restarting the app will solve the problem. If not, open Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > Google Play Store > Storage & cache > Clear storage & Clear cache.

If the error is still being stubborn, then you should consider going to “Settings,” and then “Accounts” to delete your Google account from the phone. After this, you may restart the device and set up your Google account again.

Error 911

This download error 911 is the toughest to resolve. Sometimes, it could be a problem with your Wi-Fi connection that can be easily solved by clearing Google Play Store data. To do so, open Settings > Apps & notifications > See all apps > Google Play Store > Storage & cache > Clear storage & Clear cache.

If you still face the same error, consider trying a different network for your WiFi.

You might come across a few more error codes that are not mentioned in this article. Ordinarily, most of them will be related to connectivity issues or account authentication. All such errors should be solved by checking your connection status or by logging in again into your Play Store account. If nothing works out, it is always a good idea to restart your phone and check again.
