Google Play Store Error Code 194

Issue

This error which is caused when you are trying to download apps or games from the Google Play Store.

Solution

This problem can be easily fixed by clearing the cache date for Google Play services and Google Play Store. The process is easy:

• Go to Settings> Apps or Application Manager
• Scroll to All and then down to the Google Play Store app
• Go to the app details and tap the force stop button
• Tap on the clear data button

Once you have done this, you will repeat the same instructions but only replace Google Play Store with Google Play Services in the second step. Now attempt your download again. Now, it should work well.

Issue

This is an error most of us come across to when we are trying to download an app. The catch with this problem is that it will not go away if you just try downloading it again. This is why you will need to check into settings.

Solution

First of all let me tell you that the problem is with Google Play itself and not because of individual users. This is why I am hoping it will be taken care of in the near future. For the time being, the below given instructions may help:

• Go to Settings
• Tap on Application Manager or Apps (the name will differ depending upon your device)
• Swipe to the All Column
• Scroll down to Google services framework
• Choose Clear data and then OK

This will get rid of the problem. However, in case this does not help, go to the Google Play site on your PC and from here install the app that is giving you so many issues. Once you have done that, go back to your device – the installed app should work now.

Now you will delete the Google account from your device and reboot your phone. Once this is done, re-add your Google account, go to Settings>Accounts>Add Account>Google Account.
