Uninstalling Play Store update fixed the issue I was having with facebook on my Desire.

What a strange problem. First time it happened to me today. Play Store notified me of updates but I couldn't update the apps due to errors 941 & 921. Trying to view one of the apps returned an error too (forgot the code). I was going to uninstall Play Store as Mawdo suggested, but then I thought of trying to restore a nandroid backup which I had taken yesterday when everything was working fine. I restored the backup, and Play Store updated and downloaded apps with no errors.
Obviously this is a bit convoluted and time consuming than just uninstalling the Play Store update, but I wanted to share that this works too. Something during the course of the day could have borked Play Store on my phone.

Happen to me to last night. It seem google was working on the store because it works fine now.

The Google Play Store is experiencing some issues, they will be resolved shortly. Sit tight.

How do you update back to Play once you update the apps you need? I guess it doesn't matter THAT much, since it's essentially just a name change, but I'm wondering.

problem with widgets
when i try to put snote widget in the screen, its says dont have space in screen lol??????

cleared google play and everything works fine

try this but bear in mind that i'm using a custom ROM so it might be a little different with you. Go to Settings > Wireless and network > Mobile networks > Access Point Names (or APN). Now select the APN that u are using. (I chose MTN Data since i'm MTN. Now go to "Proxy". There should be a number in there, delete everything that's in there and leave that field blank. Go to "Port" and clear everything as well. It worked for me.hope it works for u too.

Edit......

This problem. I've had this problem once, n solved it by wiping data, cache, dalvik cache then reflashing CM9 n Gapps zip file.

I've had this problem when I used CM9. Done a lot of things didn't work.
Unless I go Pristine(go General Section to know how).
Assuming you installed the game once before turning to CM9 . After changing to CM9 you wanted to reinstall it. This will happen. Go Pristine. Nothing will go wrong after that.

[Q] Persistent Google Play error (941)

Hey there!
I get 941 error when installing apps way more often than on any other phones I used. I cleared cache & data for the play store (I also uninstalled updates) and the download manager, that didn't help much because almost every 4th app gives this error. Then I cleared cache & data for the play services, it's better now, but I still get the same error sometimes.
Anybody experiencing this or similar? Also, is there any way to fix this other than the 3 clears I mentioned above? Thanks in advance!

Try to delete the data of play store app. Worked for me

I already did that two times, and it didn't even solve the problem temporarily :/ Thanks for the tip, though.

Hm... Thes try to delete your Google account and add it new :fingers-crossed:

I used to get it every time. Cleared app data and cache which has helped.
I just get the occasional error now and again.

edit the host or just delete it(system/etc/host) file then u good to go

i get this all the time now, ever since my phone went to lg for repair. i get the 941 error, then i click install and its installed fine...weird
update: Reading another thread on the forum, if you uninstall the updates for the google play store, that stops the 941 error, but be aware that the play store will update itself as soon as it can. ive turned off auto updating so i'll see if that helps

hmmm i had somthing like this some time ago while dowloading big games like GTA and such... what i tried is canceling and then imidiatly retring the download. You could also change from network, use other wifi or your own data.
Btw is your account set up download just in wifi? because it wont download unless you are in a wifi network
Hope this helps

Well if not working try reseting the phone

I had the same problem yesterday, and I tried to check the My Apps menu in Playstore, it happened that all apps in "Installed" tab are downloading updates all at the same time. So I cancelled all the process and everything is back to normal.

Update Error
Hi! I'm having the very same problem. Any advice please?

Are the apps you are trying to update on the micro sd. If so try moving them to the device storage before you update.

Possible solution
@reaf
A factory reset should work. However, I disabled my downloads app and the downloads provider and the play store refused to open.
I think that you should try to disable both of them; wipe any data or cache.
Then reboot and enable them and reboot again.
This should solve the problem.

Nexus 7 2013 Marshmallow not play store joy...
My Nexus 7 2013 updated with latest OTA Marshmallow some time ago, have rebooted a couple of times since then, suddenly stopped doing any app updates even though it seemed to think it needed to do so. The downloading progress bar would just go on forever. I finally got fed up and reset cache and data, rebooted and nothing. Then I did a factory reset, but let it try to re-add all my apps, that was taking forever as well and never actually getting anything to complete the installation. Then I did a factory reset without restoring any apps. The tablet runs, I can surf the web, lots of other things, but when I start the play store it apparently is the older version of the play store and it never wants to update itself. When I click the play store build(5.12.7) within play store settings, it says there is a newer version available and will be installed. That hasn't happened for 2 solid days now. I can't get any apps to install at all and the play store is stuck on the older version.
Advice?
P.S. Yes, I have a good WiFi connection.

I am having this issue now on Zenfone 2 version 4.168. Somehow, this started happening after my friends wifi went down. When it came back I still couldn't use it effectively. I could not connect to games or google play store. I tried clear cache and data from services and play store one by one but no solution. I booted to recovery and wiped cache from there still no difference. Factory reset was only solution that worked and that was my last resort. I thought the wifi I was on got hacked or ddosed because thats when issues started. So it has happened again after I did the factory reset. I synced my apps from gmail after I reset and it was fine for at least 4 hours till now I can't connect to game of war and when I go to play store and my apps, I get can't connect to play store.

Problem with Google Play store app - insta-quiting all the time.

I have a problem with Google Play store app - every time I click on icon it starts and quit instantly with message "Google Play has been closed" (no other info what was wrong). It's newest version available.
I've tried many things:
- reinstalling the app (turning off to uninstall any updates) and reapplying update.
- clearing cache of app
- clearing cache for Google Play services for Instant Apps and Google Play Services
- clearing Data of store app.
Only two (first and last) gave temporary results for the first start - after that I can use app normally, but just after quitting problem is always back until I don't clean Data in Settings/Apps/Memory. I don't want to do factory reset, but it's kinda annoying. Something is loading/changing in app data after the initial start, that results in problem with starting again. Thanks for help in advance...

Uninstall Play store updates, clear data of Google play services for instant apps and perform a wipe cache after that.
Open the app and try if it works.

Can you precise "and perform a wipe cache" - did you mean wiping cache in the 'Google Play' store app or 'Google play Services for instant apps' app or device cache in recovery mode?

First uninstall playstore updates then clear cache of the app "Playservices instant apps" and then perform wipe cache via recovery.

Didnt helped - first start, with "old" version is ok, after closing the app and reopening its quit again ?

Could be problem with Google play app. Couple of days ago, I've noticed that sometimes is not showing updates for installed apps. Force stopping usually helps.

Not for me - force stopping didn't changed anything - still quitting all the time.

Baronik, please check if you are using latest google play service, 8.1.29 at least. I had the same issue last week. I made even factory reset without lack. Then I found this suggestion on Lenovo forum for Moto Z and verified that I used outdated version 8.0.X. When I tried update it I received notification I use latest version. I was singed to google play service beta program so I unsubscribe it, and done factory reset one more time. After restart 8.1.31 version has been installed. You can try to uninstall updates for google play store first.

I'm not sure about app you're talking about - I got 3 apps "connected" with store:
- Google Play store - version 8.0.73
- Google Play Services - version 11.3.02
- Google Play services for Instant Apps - version 1.19
I've been uninstalling store few times with a hope, that phone will update to newest version. Looks like 8.0.73 is newest my phone can install automatically. Any trustful source for 8.1.29 version to manually install? I really don't want to do factory reset...

Problem SOLVED - I've just installed 8.1.29 version of Google Play store app from APK-mirror and everything is ok for now. I can start app, close it and start again with no problems. Thanks for suggestion about version - I was more than sure, that phone will always install newest store app, but that wasn't true.
