Why isn't this working on my Amazon Fire tablet or other non-Google Android devices?
The Google Play Store is only half of the equation. You also need to obtain Google Play Services for your device. Almost every Play Store app, including the Google Play Store, uses Google Play Services. Without one, you cannot have the other. Unfortunately, getting everything up and running is an exceptionally difficult process. We have a dedicated guide for this.
My new Play Store installation is acting weird. How do I fix it?
You’ll most likely want to go into your phone settings and wipe the Google Play Store cache and data. Sometimes, updates can cause finicky stuff with old cached files. You can follow our Google Play Store troubleshooting guide to figure things out.
I have gone completely off the rails, and now nothing works. Have I broken my phone?
No. While it is frustrating and time-consuming, the easiest way to restore things is to factory reset and then try again from the beginning. We have a dedicated guide for factory resetting your Android phone here.
I just factory reset my old Samsung tablet, and the Play Store is really old. I went to update it and it says its up to date, but it very clearly isnt. I'm not really sure what else to try, it keeps saying server error when I open it.
Hey Redditors.
While I was setting up Google Wallet (after a manual instalation from APKMirror, because it isn't supported in my country yet), the app asked which Google account I have to link and then proceeded afterwards to download the August 2023 Google play system update. Rebooted twice afterwards and the patch is still on August 2023 and uninstalled Wallet (Will definitely be using it though while travelling, but not for now)
FYI : Been stuck on February 2023 before it I proceeded to said installation.
