Among a list of errors that occur when working with the application Google Play, appears an error 489. This error is not new, but until now programmers Google does not fix this bug. The situation is not fatal for Android-devices, but it's really annoying when constantly pops up a message "Failed to download the application because of an error 489" when you try to install or upgrade any application. Happy one: Since this error - one of many that arise when installing downloaded applications or obtaining updates from Google Play, you can get rid of it by the same simple way as the rest of similar troubles.

Error 489 on Google Play most often occurs in devices running OS Android, due to an unstable network connection or problems with the recognition of your account with Google. This means that the bug is not related to the internal memory, or any other "stuffing" gadget. If you are looking for a solution to the error 489 that appears on your Android-smartphone or tablet when you try to download, install or update applications, we recommend that you try the following methods:

 

Method 1
Delete your Google account on your device and add it again. If you do not know how to do this, simply follow these steps:
1. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Account;

2. Select the position of Google;
3. Go to "Options" and select "Delete";

4. Confirm your actions;
5. After the previous steps have been completed, reboot the device and re-create your account at Google;
6. Go to Settings -> Application Manager -> Google Play Store and clean the data.


If the device to remove your Google account, you must reset to factory settings, and you do not want to categorically, now you know a way to bypass this requirement.

Method 2
Change the way to connect to the Internet. This means that if you have previously used the mobile Internet, switch to Wi-Fi, and vice versa. By using this method. We start from the fact that, perhaps, the cause of error 489 is the lack of speed of the Internet connection. If the cause is determined correctly, the faster the Internet to fix the situation. Alternatively, you can try to change the APN. It can also help if you use the mobile Internet and stores.

Try both methods. If you could not remove the error 489 the first time, and the problem with installing or updating an application it will be solved. Best of luck!
