Has this ever happened to you? You find an interesting application and try to download it, only to receive a cryptic error message containing seemingly random numbers from the Google Play Store. Pretty annoying, right? Here are some of the most common Google Play Store errors, what they mean, and how to solve them.
The solutions for the errors described below are based on the experiences of the AndroidPIT editors, as well as readers and moderators from the forum. If you encounter any other problems with Google Play, feel free to share your experiences in the comments and forum.

Google Play - Error DF-BPA-09 'Error Processing Purchase'
Problem
Google Play Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-09 happens 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'.
Google Play – Error DF-DLA-15
Problem
Downloading an update or an application may fail with this error.
Solution
The first thing to do is to clear the cache and data of the Play Store app. To do this, go into the Settings, tap Applications and look for the Play Store. You can then delete the cache and data. On some smartphones, you must enter the Storage tab to see this option.
This should fix the problem, but if it persists, you have to go to your account settings and delete your phone's Google account. Once you've done that you just need to re-add it.

Solution
- Go to the Settings> Accounts> Google 'to delete your Google Account'
- Once this is done, you must reboot your device, then re-synchronize the account
- Finally, open the Settings> 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.

Google Play Store Download Slow Down
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.

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

Solution

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.

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.
- Head to Settings > Applications > All > Google Play Store > Clear cache. If the problem persists, try downloading the app from the Play Store website.
- 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).

Google Play - Error 194
Problem
This error happens when you try to download games or apps from the Google Play Store.
Solution
One fix for this issue is to clear the cache data for Google Play Services and the Google Play Store.
- Go to Settings > Apps or Application Manager
- Scroll across to All and then down to the Google Play Store app.
- Open the app details and tap the Force stop button.
- Next tap on the Clear data button.
Now repeat the process above, but replace Google Play Store with Google Play Services at step two and then attempt your download again.
If that doesn't work, don't worry - the issue has now been resolved and a fix is being rolled out in the next version of the Play Store app. Just make sure you have the latest Google Play Store APK and you shouldn't experience this error again.

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.
Third solution
Another solution would be to erase your entire search history, which you can do in the Play Store itself by choosing the Settings button. Next, select Clear search history.
Fourth solution
Try creating a new Google account and using it for the Play Store instead. Go to the Google Play, and select the menu button again. Then select Accounts and choose the New Gmail account. Then reinstall the app.

- and of course all other ideas that come to your mind :)
How to use the slow mo app:
1) choose the video you want to slow down or speed up. u can choose it from gallery, or record the new one. Remember, this is just post processing app, and we can not magically find more fps, then your hardwere camera has. You can slow motion 24 fps, but it will look less naturally, then if your camera record more fps.
2) add the points to the timeline, move them. If you move the point up, you will add the speed to your movie. If you move the point down, you will make the video slower. If you leave the poin in the middle, the speed of the video will not change.
3) play with points, and save video to your gallery!
4) play video in our slow motion player, choose it from gallery.
Our slow motion maker is the only one, whitch alow to create many points with different speed in one movie. The speed in our app is changing smoothly.
Try some examples in this slo mo video editor:
- slow motion with music
- slow motion hair flip
- slowmo baseball swing
- breakdance, cat drinking, car crash and more.
Now you have slow motion camera in your pocket!
