I tried all methods as guided by the troubleshooting process. Haven’t tried proxy rest. However, I Uninstaller the app and downloaded it again.
Here is no solution to the problem. That’s just general stuff that you can wright to every problem for every app. Clear cache, clear data, uninstall updates or complete app. But I don’t want to delete my data or uninstall my Play Store just because somebody writes it as a chance to get the problem solved that is, I guess, not even approved. Ok, at least you suggest a reason for the problem: to slow connection. But for me connections as slow as needing hours for some MBs to download still work without the download getting aborted (f. e. used up data volume mobile internet speed). So at that point you don’t need any solution that tells you to use faster internet, because it wouldn’t help you any further than what you would have to do naturally to download your stuff within any useful time: speeding up your internet. Considering that you can still use empty data volume mobile internet, I think too slow internet isn’t even the true reason for the problem. I got this error because I used proxy. In non proxy WLAN and non proxy mobile internet it worked but my connections were too slow so I needed the main WLAN network which requires proxy. But not using a proxy is no solution for the problem. It isnot more than the obvious consequence when you know that the reason for the issue is the proxy and you have the choice to not use the proxy. It is like you want to eat banana but there is no banana and somebody tells you the great solution for your dilemma is not to eat a banana. But that’s no way to eat a banana then. As well as using no proxy is not a solution to solve the problem when you want to download via a proxy. It’s just nonsense but as you usually don’t complain or notices this, they can happily go on maintaining their nonsense.
Just go and check time zone. It was the solution for me.
