There are various types of malfunctions in the Google Play Market: technical difficulties on the service side, constant mistakes, application crashes and absolute inoperability. In this post we will talk about some recommendations on how to straighten it all out.

1. You need to restart your Android device

The first step is to reboot your device. As a rule, this should help not only Google Play, but also other system freezes. If this does not solve your problem, then move on.

2. You need to reset Google Play Market options

How to do it:

1. Go to options.

2. Open “Applications” or “Application Manager”.

3. Find Google Play Market in the list and click on it.

4. In the application options window, you need to select “Erase data” and “Clear cache”.

I think this should help everyone, but if not, then move on.

3. Uninstall Google Play Market updates

We proceed in the same way as in step 2, but instead of “Erase data” and “Clear cache”, click “Delete updates”. This will return the Play Market to its initial position at the time of installation.

4. Remove the options for the Google Play Services application

Again, go to options, open “Applications” and find “Google Play Services” in the list. You need to open it and clear the cache and data.

5. Enable "Download Manager"

In the applications section, swipe left to go to the “All” tab and open “Download Manager”. If you have it disabled, click “Enable”.

If you have already activated it, and the previous recommendations did not undoubtedly help, proceed further.

6. Applications blocking the Google Play Market

Some applications have a good chance of blocking the Play Market. For example, a familiar application Freedom, which allows you to make in-game purchases for free and can interfere with the normal operation of the Google app store.

7. Set up the “hosts” file

In this post we will briefly talk about how to quickly and efficiently install and configure the so-called Gapps (that is, a set of standard Google mobile applications) on the Xiaomi Mi 6 smartphone.

Let us immediately note that the post will be of interest to those users who purchased (or are just planning) Mi 6 in China.

Since this and all other models released for the local market, as is known, are not initially equipped with the usual Google applications and are also not designed to work with the Google Play Store catalogue.

Because if your Xiaomi Mi 6 If you bought (or are going to buy) in domestic retail without any hassles and it is equipped with the software as it should, then you can safely close this page (and/or follow the link and further expand your awareness of the capabilities of the new Mi 6).

In the meantime, we will continue.

The Gapps installation method described below involves downloading a standard backup copy of data, previously created on exactly the same smartphone, on which all the necessary Google applications are already installed.

But taking into account the fact that this procedure for installing Gapps is considered a little more complicated than installing the same programs from APK files, it should also be carried out with great attention and in the correct sequence. So, let's get down to business.

how to install Gapps on Xiaomi Mi 6 smartphone:

• step 1 . download a special ZIP file GАpps-Mi6-MiPad3.zip ;
• step 2 . after the download is complete, open the archive;
• step 3 . now you need to move the folder Allbackup to the internal memory of the smartphone in the folder backup (if one is not found, then it should be created manually);
• step 4 . then go to “ Settings ", tap " Other ", Then " Backup and reset " And " Local backup » ( Settings -> Additional Settings -> Backup&Reset -> Local Backup);
• step 5 . If you transferred the folder (step 3) correctly, then you will immediately see it in the list “ Local backup". We saw it, tap " Restore » ( Restore);

• step 6 . we wait for the completion of the procedure for restoring data from the specified backup, reboot your Mi 6, wait a couple more seconds and then open the Play Store application, log in and set up your Google account, etc.

Actually, that's all. You have installed GApps on Xioami Mi 6. The decision, as you understand, is not official, so there may probably be some errors. However, as practice shows, it works quite stably (not for the first day and not on just one smartphone). Based on materials from the IT News website.

Hello Sergey. Your website is amazing, everything is written very clearly. I have this problem, I’ll write names in Russian faster :) and so on the Miui phone (Xiaomi Redmi 3s) and on the Asus tablet there was a problem that YouTube and the Play Market do not work over the Wi-Fi network, at first the videos on YouTube were all gray , but they played, then disappeared completely and says that connect to the network, and if on the mobile Internet everything works and loads.

Everything works on the computer via Wi-Fi. I called the Internet company that distributes our Internet via OSC cable, they said everything was fine with them, it’s a Wi-Fi router. I found your site and decided to reset the router to factory settings, following your recommendations I installed everything again, started the router, everything works fine. on the computer and on the phone tablet too, but YouTube and the play market remained lifeless. What to do?

Answer

Hello. If YouTube and Google Play open on your phone and tablet via the mobile Internet, then for some reason I am sure that the problem is with your Internet provider. Hardly anything in the router settings. Moreover, no one changed them. Everything stopped working suddenly.

It would be good to check:

• Does YouTube open through a browser on a phone or tablet?
• And will there be access to these services if you connect your ASUS or Xiaomi to another Wi-Fi network.

What can be done? I would try changing the DNS addresses. On your phone and/or tablet, go to your Wi-Fi settings and open the properties of your Wi-Fi network to which you are connected. There you can set the settings statically. Enter DNS: 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4

The "No Internet connection" and "Check your network connection" errors may no longer appear.

Separate article with main solutions: . There I showed in detail how to change DNS on Android.

Almost every mobile device has an application store. This is very convenient; in the application market you can find almost everything, both paid and free solutions from developers from all over the world. Unfortunately, not all Xiaomi devices sold have a standard application store installed, which is replaced by a Chinese analogue - Mi Market. In this article we will look at how to install Google Play Market on Xiaomi devices.

If your Xiaomi device does not have an application store, most likely you have a Chinese version of the firmware, which has two languages ​​and is intended for residents of China. The authorities of the Celestial Empire ordered to block all Google services in the country, so devices for China do not have all the applications of the “good company” (which have the abbreviation GAPPS - Google Applications), including their Play Market, which was replaced by a Chinese application store.

The site administration is not responsible for your actions; you do everything at your own peril and risk.

Let's look at the most common options for installing Google Play from simple to more complex.

Installing Play Market from the Chinese market

The steps may differ slightly on different firmware, so if the text instructions are not suitable for you, you should watch the video instructions.

1. Open the Mi Market (Xiaomi Market) application store on your phone.
2. Enter “Google” into the search
3. The very first application in the search results should be with a red icon and with the letter G in the center, it is called “Google Installer” (the application icon in Xiaomi Market may change over time). Select and click “Install”.
4. We wait for the program to install and then launch it.
5. In the application itself, you need to select “Play Market” and click the “Install” button.
6. Most likely, you will be asked to install a package of necessary programs called “Google Service Framework”; without them, the play market will not be able to work, so we agree to the installation (use the button in the upper right corner).
7. The application is installed!

Video instructions with a different version of the operating system.

Installation using apk file

You can install Google Play Market using a separately downloaded application. Unfortunately, most programs will not work on the device, since they all contain only the Play Market itself, although its operation requires system applications that are not available on Xiaomi devices with Chinese firmware. Therefore, installation will require software packages specially created by users for Chinese firmware.

All programs are taken from the official English forum; we have placed them on a separate file storage for your convenience. You can also download them yourself from the forum, all links will be given below, to download you will need to log in to the forum through your .

For all Google programs to work, you will need a gmail account (mail), when launching applications you will need to enter your username and password. If you don’t have them, you can create them in advance or at the time of booting the device.

Also, do not forget to enable the installation of programs from unknown sources on your smartphones.

Option 1

This program, according to the author, is taken from the Chinese Xiaomi Market. You will need to install the program, run it and then select which Google applications you want to install. After this, you should reboot the device.

Option 2

This is an already modified program, with the bare minimum of required files. You download, launch and the program should install everything you need for the Google Play Market to fully function.

Installation via bootloader (recovery)

This option differs from the previous ones in that we will not install through the operating system. This installation is considered the most correct among advanced users.

Installation by flashing

For most Xiaomi devices, international multilingual firmware has been released, which includes the Russian language and all programs from Google. If you are going to Russify your device, then it would be best to simply flash the firmware with a multilingual version of miui. In this case, the market itself will be in Russian. You can read the instructions here.

Possible problems

If you experience crashes, download programs from the play market slowly, applications do not want to be installed, or the application itself does not work, then you can try one of the following tricks.

When installing an application package from the Mi Market or through an apk file, it may happen that Google Play itself will be installed faster than the necessary system files. Therefore, after launching the market, the application will simply crash. To fix this, you need to uninstall the Play Market as a regular program (long tap on the icon and drag it up to delete) and then install the market again from Google Installer, only now without the Service Framework package.

If after reinstalling the problems do not disappear, you may need to remove the Google account from the phone, restart the device and register it again. In our case with the xiaomi redmi 3 pro smartphone, this advice helped. According to reviews, after this manipulation, 98% of problems disappear.

Another solution to many problems is to install a newer version of the Play Market over the old one. At the moment, the current version is assembly number 5.6.8. You can download it from this link, forum.

Incorrect date and time can cause gapps to crash, so make sure you have the time, date and time zone set correctly.

Reset your market settings. To do this, go to the application manager, find Play Market in the list and click on it. In the settings window, select "Erase data" and "Clear cache".

Be sure to check your firewall settings in the "security" section. The Internet connection for the application may be blocked.

If you do not have important information on your phone, you can try resetting all data.
