✅ Com android vending an error occurred, what to do

Today we will talk about another problem on Android - the com.android.vending error, which prevents you from downloading applications and games from the market. You will find out what this process is and what needs to be done to remove this bug.

So, many users, when trying to launch the Play Market or download software from it, may receive notifications that the application has stopped or an error has occurred, and the com.android.vending . After this, the Market itself stops working abnormally. Let's figure out what exactly this process is responsible for and what can cause failures.

It was just flowers...

I decided to scan the gadget for viruses, but to do this I needed to download a special utility from the Play Market. But when I tried to enter the Play Market, another error popped up. Obviously, the “bug” is not simple and entails a bunch of other troubles. What is the reason for the failures? After all, I didn’t install anything, didn’t make any changes to the settings, just watched videos on Youtube.

As it turns out, if an error occurs in the com android vending system component, then the integrity of the Google Services service, which controls most of the built-in Android applications, has been compromised. Specifically, “vending” is responsible for automatically updating applications, downloading them, and installing them. And at the moment the notification appears, the system is trying to perform one of the listed actions, but something goes wrong.

Possible problems and their solutions

While following the instructions above, various problems may occur. Let's look at the most likely ones.

Framaroot doesn't work

There is a possibility that your device does not support the Framaroot app. You can try alternative programs, but this will increase the risk of dropping the system.

Unable to download Total Commander from Play Market

If an error occurs during installation, you will have to download the explorer from the Internet. Using a browser and Google search, it is better to download the program through trusted sources, as there is a risk of getting a virus.

The com.android.vending error occurs extremely rarely, but users who encounter it need to fix it in order to be able to use the Play Market and some Google services. All you need is root rights, root explorer and a little patience.

Android device users download applications through the Play Market. And here sometimes an error occurs that prevents you from downloading the desired program and stops the work of the Play Market itself. But don’t worry, the problem is not fatal, and it can be solved on your own.

How to fix

A universal method for solving this error requires having root rights and the Root Explorer application.

Superuser rights

Many Chinese manufacturers put superuser rights directly into the firmware. To find out if you have them, look for Superuser or SuperSU applications on your Desktop. If you find it, then the device has already been rooted.

Be careful, after installing root rights you lose the warranty on the device. In addition, having superuser rights in inexperienced hands can cause damage to the device and make it inoperable.

If you haven’t found such applications, this does not mean that you do not have superuser rights. Install the Terminal Emulator for Android application. At the command prompt, enter "su". If the initial line sign changes to #, then superuser rights are available on the device; if the message “Permission denied” appears, then there are none.

Error in Google Play Services application

Causes

This message appears if the application is not working properly, which causes inconvenience.

The phone may give errors with or without a number. Numbered ones can be eliminated faster and more efficiently, because the code can be used to determine what exactly is causing the failure. There are a lot of license plates, but the most popular are the following:

error code 18 – the cause is an incorrectly set date or time and the end of free memory;
error code 24 – may occur if the user often installs and uninstalls the same software, but does not clear the data;
error code 403 – two Google accounts are connected at the same time;
error 492 – problems with the Dalvik virtual machine.

How to fix

To troubleshoot a non-numbered error, you should:

Clear Google Play Services cache.
Reinstall the application.
You can also clear the cache in the Google Services Framework.
You should check whether the specified date/time is correct and whether there are any problems with Internet access.

To eliminate the 18th, you need to reset the date/time, clear the cache and data, remove Play Market updates, or free up space on the device. If the phone displays 24, you will need superuser rights. Already with them we go to the sdcard/android/data/ folder and clean out unnecessary ones, i.e. outdated files. With 403, you need to log in from your main account, uninstall the problematic program and try to install it again.

When the error number is 492, you need to clear the cache and data of the Google Play Services and Play Market applications. Sometimes you have to revert to default configurations.

Error com.android.phone

The com.android.phone error occurs due to problems in the part of the software that is responsible for calls on your phone. You can fix it as follows:

Sometimes the com.android.phone error appears due to problems in the date and time menu. Therefore, open the settings of your phone, select the Date and time menu and in the window that appears, uncheck the box next to the line about installing them via the network. After this, restart your gadget and change the time and date data if they are incorrect.
If this does not help, you should go directly to the Phone application. To do this, go to settings, select the list of applications and find your phone in it. In the menu that appears, first click on “Erase data”, then clear the utility cache. Reboot your device to see if this helps resolve the com.android.phone problem.
If the second method turns out to be ineffective, you should simply download an alternative application for making calls from the Play Market store. Install a program that will replace Phone, after which the problem should disappear.

Reasons for failure

A defect occurs in the following cases - when:

Automatic downloading of updates was disabled in the Play Market settings;
The date and time specified are incorrect, or synchronization with the network is disabled;
Some new programs conflict with the system. These can be both safe applications and malicious software;
Important components in the Android OS were damaged as a result of crashes and other failures. By the way, my TV set-top box is powered directly from the TV via USB, and I could accidentally turn it off without first shutting down the TV gadget. Most likely, this was the decisive factor;
The free space on the “disk” is running out, which is why the software experiences “discomfort” during operation.

Unfortunately, in this case you may lose all the necessary data, such as phone numbers and other contacts, SMS, etc. To avoid this, you need to make a backup, you can read about this in our article How to make an Android backup (backup android) instructions. And we also have instructions on how to reset to factory settings - How to restore Android.

What is this application?

Com.android.vending

is a background process that is an important component of the Google Play Services program and is responsible for the normal operation of the Play Market.
Through the vending
, the ability to download, install and update programs from the store is realized.

As you use your Android device, there may be some glitches in this process. Because of this, the user cannot perform a normal download or simply launch the Android store.

Possible reasons for the error:

lack of current updates to the Android OS or Play Market, in particular;
lack of date-time synchronization;
the presence of applications that conflict with Google services and block their launch;
broken files in the system;
Lack of RAM or physical memory on the phone.

There can be many reasons and we will not analyze them all, but will simply describe real solutions.

What to do if the virus is not removed

If the above operations did not lead to anything, the malicious program still makes itself felt, and also if the operating system ceases to function normally after cleaning, you will have to resort to one of the radical measures:

reset with restoration of factory settings through the system menu;
hard reset via the Recovery menu;
reflashing the device.

Any of these methods will return the device to the same state as after purchase - there will be no user programs, personal settings, files or other information (data about SMS, calls, etc.) left on it. Your Google account will also be deleted. Therefore, if possible, transfer the phone book to the SIM card and copy paid applications and other valuable items to external media. It is advisable to do this manually - without using special programs, so as not to accidentally copy the virus. After this, begin the “treatment”.

Restoring factory settings through the system menu

This option is the simplest. It can be used when the functions of the operating system and the device itself are not blocked.

Go to the Settings application, open the Personal - Backup section and select Factory reset.

Hard reset via Recovery menu

A “hard” reset will help deal with the malware if it is not removed by any of the above methods or has blocked login. To our joy, access to the Recovery menu (system recovery) is retained.

Logging into Recovery works differently on different phones and tablets. On some, for this you need to hold down the “Volume +” key when turning on, on others - “Volume -”, on others - press a special recessed button, etc. The exact information is contained in the instructions for the device.

In the Recovery menu, select the option “wipe data/factory reset” or simply “factory reset”.

Flashing

Flashing is essentially reinstalling the Android OS, the same extreme measure as reinstalling Windows on a computer. It is resorted to in exceptional cases, for example, when a certain Chinese virus is embedded directly in the firmware and has been living on the device since its “birth.” One of such malware is the spyware android spy 128 origin.

To flash a phone or tablet, you will need root rights, a distribution kit (the firmware itself), an installation program, a computer with a USB cable or an SD card. Remember that each gadget model has its own individual firmware versions. Installation instructions are usually included with them.

Preparing to fix the error

To fix this error, we will need to have root rights and an explorer that can work with them, for example, Total Commander or Root Explorer.

Obtaining root rights using third-party programs

Root rights or superuser rights provide the user with special powers, such as deleting system files, activating hidden Android functions, and more. Having Root rights will be required for some subsequent actions when cleaning the device.

Rooting will void your device's warranty. If you have root rights, you will not be able to receive updates from the manufacturer over the air (warranty operating system updates).

Each device has its own characteristics and the risk of damaging the system when obtaining root rights or after always remains.

Downloading Total Commander Explorer

Root Explorer is a program that can operate with root rights and has access to the root directory of the device. One of the most common root explorers is Total Commander.

Rooting is required to use many of the root explorer features. The explorer itself does not provide access to root rights.

The easiest way to download Explorer is to install it from the Play Market.

The easiest way is to download the program from the Play Market

Downloading Root Explorer

Another well-known root explorer is Root Explorer. If you don't mind the money or don't want to bother with Google search, there is a paid version of this application in the Play Market.

To download the free version:

What to do with an error?

So, let's proceed from the fact that all date and time settings are in order and there is enough memory. Next, I will describe several methods that will help solve the problem, starting with simple ones and ending with complex ones.

Applying the latest updates

The first method, which almost always helps, is downloading the latest Play Market updates.

or
reinstalling
. The Google account must be synchronized on the phone, and access to the Internet is preferable via Wi-Fi.

Reinstalling the application, in most cases, helps solve the com.android.vending problem. But if you still have a bug, then proceed to the next step.

Installation com.android.vending.apk

If applying the latest updates did not help (which is unlikely), you will need to replace the process apk file itself on your phone. com.android.vending.apk from third-party file hosting services

(look for trusted sources),
the presence of root rights
on the phone, and also install
Root Explorer
(or Titanium Backup) on your smartphone, with which you will work with the root directory of files on the phone.

Not a single OS on a phone/tablet is completely free of various problems. Android in this case is no exception. The most common reason is that there is an error in the com android com application. What are they like and what to do if they arise?

Causes

The android com error is a summary of several of the most common flaws in software operation. Let's look at each in turn:

com.android.phone. It affects the signal exchange between towers and the smartphone, i.e. to the calling function. Subsequent firmware changes or failures during the flashing process may occur. The reason may be a change of SIM card and failures in the time and date menu.
com.android.snap. It may appear due to the unsuccessful operation of various photo editors or programs for sending messages, which also allow you to edit photos. An alert pops up on a black background.
com.android.vending. The cause is also a system failure, which is distinguished by the text that pops up when it occurs - “Unexpected stop of the process...”.
com.android.systemui. Detection of problems in the operation of the system, as well as the presence of a virus. Usually it downloads unnecessary software, and while using the programs, various advertising banners pop up. Finding out whether it is a virus or a glitch is easy - you need to look at the creation date of the file. When running simultaneously with other system files, you don’t have to worry about viruses.

How to fix

Let's look at how to eliminate each of the system errors separately. For com.android.phone the solutions to the problem are as follows:

disable automatic time and date setting, reboot your smartphone and set it manually;
if it doesn’t help, find the Phone in the Application Manager, erase the data, clear the cache and reboot the gadget;
You can also download a calling application from the Google store.

Sometimes you have to reset the device configuration completely to factory settings, before which I advise you to create a backup copy. To solve the com.android.snap problem, you should:

scan your gadget with an antivirus;
stop the application in the Manager by clearing the cache, erasing data and unchecking the “Show notifications” checkbox;
remove com.android.snap using various programs, AVG antivirus will do.

To get rid of problems with in the third case, you need root rights, for which ROOT Manager is suitable:

first you need to download com.android.vending.apk from the network;
grant rights to the program;
delete the entire folder data/data/com.android.vending;
We look for a vending file in the data/dalvik-cache folder, which we delete;
now we find the downloaded file com.android.vending, click R/W at the top and transfer it to system/app;
We enter the context menu by holding the file for a few seconds, where we need “Permissions”;
We provide the owner with read and write access, and guests with other reading access;
All that remains is to save the changes, exit the program and restart the phone.

The last fault is removed like this:

Based on the creation date of com.android.systemui, we look for the application that caused the virus to appear on the smartphone, and through the Application Manager we completely get rid of it;
in the same ROOT Manager go to the address Root/System/App;
find com.android.systemui and delete it.

Results

If you own an Android smartphone or tablet, you should be prepared for the fact that it may produce various errors. However, you don’t need to immediately take your gadget to a service center. Most problems can be solved even without using root rights. If such a need arises, you need to remember to create a backup copy.

Smartphones and tablets have long been ingrained in our lives and now even children and old people know how to use them. Most of these devices run on the Android operating system. And even though this system is quite easy to use, users often have various questions or minor problems.

If a person is familiar with this operating system, then it will not be difficult for him to fix all the problems himself. If the user does not understand the system at all, he will take his gadget to a service center (and do the right thing). Well, you can just read about it on the Internet and fix it yourself.

This is exactly what this article is aimed at, which will tell you how to deal with one of the most common problems in Android.
