and restart your phone.

Method 3

another way to solve this problem could be installing old version of google play store. to remove current version you have to root your phone (Remember if you don’t know how to root don’t take risk otherwise you may brick your phone).
one your phone is rooted, download System App Safe Remover  and carefully remove google app store and download old version of google play store from here

Method 4

if still issue not resolved, another workaround could be alternative app store.
you can download amazon app store, and it should work flawlessly on any android device
open this link Download Amazon App and click on download Amazon underground.(Around 35 mb)

Method 5

some of my blog readers contacted me that still they are facing same problem. i would suggest you to visit following link in google account https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity 
and check if your device is listed there, and showing no issue,  for you reference i am sharing my account screenshot.

if your device is not listed here or showing some warning, remove your google account from phone by going to settings>accounts. and then add it again,

Note: Before performing this method you must follow 1 to 3 methods.

Method 6

sometimes there is communication problem between your ISP & google. you can try any free vpn to connect to play store .

Method 7

Reset your google account password & then device will ask you to enter the password again.

Method 8

open your browser, and access play.google.com & select any app to download.
if you are not logged in, it will ask you to login & you do so.
then a message screen will popup using which method you want to download this app, chose play store & downloading should start.

    I have tried all the methods but to no use…..i am using SONY Xperia J….can you please help me somehow?

  30. Remove Gmail account
    Clear play store data & cache
    Clear Google play services data & cache
    Restart phone
    Add another gmail account (create new fake gmail)
    Try to download
    If succeed, add the old account and switch to original account in play store and try to download,
    hopefully it will work

  31. Huma Sohail says:

    It is still giving the same error
    I think there is something wrong with my handset rather than my gmail account.

  32. well you are giving up too early, this problem is actually occurs because of sync conflicts between phone & account
    did you tried to add new google account?
    if yes, then try to login this new account on PC, it resolves sometime.
    try to uninstall play store updates again, restart phone, and try again,

  33. Huma Sohail says:

    Still the same Ërror while retrieving information from server [RH-01]
    not working still…

  34. disable following apps and try again
    1. Download Manager
    2. Google Play Games
    3. Google Play Books
    4. Google Play Music
    5. Google Play Newsstand
    And try again, if you are using wifi switch to mobile data & try again
    make sure you enable all these apps later

  35. Huma Sohail says:

    I cant find Google Play Games, Google Play Books, Google Play Music and Google Play Newsstand in my Apps

  36. Huma Sohail says:

    In place of google play games, music, books and newsstand, i disabled google play servies, play store download manager….and now I cant enable them because I cant find them in my Apps… :S

  37. I assume you have Samsung phone,
    Go in settings > apps manager >
    Then you have swipe right to get all apps tab, to find games, music & newsstand.
    Disabled apps tab will be at end.

  38. Huma Sohail says:

    I have sony Xperia J handset…and in my cell there is no disabled apps tab.. 🙁

  39. Oh sorry i just forgot,
    Go in apps manager > settings> clear cache
    Then you will be able to see disabled apps tab

  40. Huma Sohail says:

    Sorry….cant find it.. 🙁

  41. same way you find playstore & other aaps,
    maybe you have to swipe left to get "All apps" tab, there you will see "settings" app, tap on it and clear cache

  42. Huma Sohail says:

    I found the disabled apps at the bottom of ALL APPS tab….I have enabled them now.

  43. Huma Sohail says:

    How am I supposed to get that Google Play Store App Icon again?

  44. Huma Sohail says:

    I need further guidance!!

  45. Forget your wifi connection & connect again, try google open dns: 8.8.8.8
    And try again

  46. Forget your wifi connection & connect again, try google open dns: 8.8.8.8
    And try again

  47. Huma Sohail says:

    Sorry my internet was not working for past days!
    How can I use the dns 8.8.8.8???

  48. Long tap on your wifi connection > then advanced settings > manual configuration > there you habebto enter everything by yourself, ip, host, dns
    Better if you just reset your phone

  49. Huma Sohail says:

    Resetting the phone has cleared the problem….thanks a lot for your help and time…. 🙂

  50. thank you fro your cooperation & patience
