Error code 495

I am really sorry this is not a solution. I am not trying to be rude.
Its like a swimming teacher saying, you cannot swim just use a boat.

Why is this not a solution to your problem? Instead of installing the app on your phone via the Play Store (select the app, the apk gets downloaded onto your phone, and then it installs the app), you're instead downloading the necessary apk yourself and then manually installing it.) The end result is the exactly the same.
I understand you're frustrated about this situation but as for being rude, whatever. Plus, I have no problem sinking to your level.

Because that's not my question. It's the same as saying someone that is trying to learn to swim to use a life jacket instead. Or some one that is trying to learn multiplication to use a calculator instead.
I know what apk is and I know everything there is in the internet about error 495 which is what I am trying to solve.
All I asked was if there is someone that had error 495 and solved it by themselves than help me to solve it and if there isn't any one here that have solved error 495 than to ignore the thread. But wannabe experts that have no experience solving it had to post there life storey because they are nice. I am not here to find nice people. If you don't know than just learn to ignore instead of writing nonsense.
I am not frustrated about the error 495. I am just trying to learn to solve an error that have no solution in the Internet. That's why I especially asked in my first post in this thread (If any one really knows how to fix error code 495 and fixed it before than please tell me how to do it. If there isn't any one able to it than just ignore this thread. Please don't post unrelated stuff. If any one haven't had this problem and fixed it by themself than please please please just don't post after searching Google. Unrelated posts doesn't help). But people just had to be nice don't they. Next time just follow the question instead of being nice.

OK, so the issue isn't that you actually want to install that app, you're instead fixated on that error 495 message. You might get a lot more relevant info on this if you re-phrase your question. Getting that app installed on your phone isn't the issue and since you don't make that clear that's a part of why most comments are focused on that. Most of us don't fixate on error messages themselves but solving the problem that those error messages are tied to. You should approach this from a developer or engineering point of view.

I know English is not my first language but the question is very clear. Here it is:

If any one really knows how to fix error code 495 and fixed it before than please tell me how to do it. If there isn't any one able to it than just ignore this thread. Please don't post unrelated stuff. If any one haven't had this problem and fixed it by themself than please please please just don't post after searching Google. Unrelated posts doesn't help.

I don't know how clear any one can make it. And I actually wanted to download 1gb+ games from play store. Offcourse I can buy an I Phone or use apk or buy a ps4. But is that my question. Did I asked for that. I clearly said to ignore the thread if any one haven't had this error and solved it before. How clear can someone be. I knew wannabe experts that thinks they knows everything couldn't help. That's why I said if someone had the error 495 and solved it by themselves than to help me. If there isn't any one here that had error 495 and solved it than there isn't anyone here that can help.
Its very simple. If someone asks what is 2 x 2 than if you know say its 4 and if you don't know just say you don't know or ignore it. Don't say 3 5 6 7 8 9 etc... It wouldn't help any one even if you say 3 the nicest way possible. He didn't ask for nice.

Here's the real issue. Error 495 is a relatively generic error code that can apply to multiple problems. It's not device, process or application specific. All anybody can do is recommend what has worked for others. There is no single fix for all situations.

So let's look at the problem. Downloading large apps fails, but smaller apps (can we say under 500MB?) succeed. The only common denominator is the size of the download. You have verified that there is sufficient space.

You have also indicated that both your data connection and WiFi connection are relatively slow (4 - 5 hours for a 1GB download sounds like a throttled connection). So, at some point your data stream is being interrupted and the download fails because of time. You phone may go into standby after 30 minutes or your carrier might renew your IP every hour. It could be a lot of things that will throw that error code and unless we all come to your place and see it happen in person, all anybody can do is guess.

Not quite. It's more like if you asked what is 2 x (2+X) without anyone knowing what the value of X was. It could be anything. Now in your case X could be a value of 1 to 100, but it's value in relation to you is unknown so the answer isn't 4 necessarily. Every answer you have been given up to this point is potentially correct. Must I say "Schrodinger's Cat"?

Yeah that's what I asked. If anyone had error 495 before and fixed it by themselves than recommend me what has worked for themselves.

First of all 2 times 2 can be only 4. It cannot be anything else.
The real issue is I have asked specially if there is any one that had error 495 and fixed it before than to help me. I know even if there is someone that had error 495 and had fixed it himself, the same method may not work for me. But if there isn't any one here that have fixed the error 495 than there isn't any one here that can do anything at all.
And I have said it before I have used the same WiFi and downloaded 1gb+ games before from a different device and also I said everyone in this country is downloading a game name PUBG using the same data that I have tried too. How clear can someone be.

That is true, but consider that 3+1 also equals 4.
Point being that there are often many solutions that solve a problem. Helpful people have suggested alternatives which may have addressed your problem.
I don't understand your argumentative, and unreasonable attitude in response to people who are trying to help you. Just FYI, you are being quite rude, and that's probably the best piece of information you can take away from this thread. Learn to be more reasonable and patient when you ask questions.

Helpful nice people have talked about to something they have no idea about which in return didn't help at all to solve the problem.
The best piece of information I learned here is no body in this forum had error 495 and solved it before. No body had the knowledge about error 495.
First Post of this thread is very simple and clear.
If any one really knows how to fix error code 495 and fixed it before than please tell me how to do it. If there isn't any one able to it than just ignore this thread. Please don't post unrelated stuff. If any one haven't had this problem and fixed it by themself than please please please just don't post after searching Google. Unrelated posts doesn't help.
But the helpful nice people just ignored it completely and started posting one nonsense after another. Did it helped me to solve error 495? No. Did any one of those helpful people solved error 495 before? No. Did it wasted any of my time? Yes.
So I will advice to people here, don't be nice if someone asked you a question. Just say you don't know if you don't know or just ignore it. Being nice and giving information about something you have no knowledge about is very dangerous.

Taking into consideration your query here has clearly not lived up to your expectations, perhaps there are other resources that might give you the answer you're seeking? Since free tech support in a public help forum does not appear to meet your needs, you might find better results consulting with a local tech-focused contractor. This might require actually paying a fee to someone for their efforts, but given that you're not even shy about your sense of entitlement, that might be your best option.

Yeah there is two reasons why I sign up here.
First to find other games like Asphalt 8 which is less mb in playstore but when open it the first time a GB+ gets downloaded and it becomes a high graphics game.
https://androidforums.com/threads/a...lt-8-in-playstore.1293811/page-2#post-7839767
But no one in this forum knows any games like that yet they wasted my time posting nonsense after nonsense.
Second is to find out if there is any one in this forum that had error 495 and solved it before. But apparently there isn't any one in this forum that had error 495.
Since this is a large forum with lots of people I thought I will find someone that had the same problem and with the knowledge to solve it.
I am not gonna give up so easily. I will sign up many other forums and will try to find some one with the knowledge about these kinda things.
I am not gonna pay some one. If I am gonna use money than I would have bought an I Phone. And I am very certain if there isn't any one in the Internet that had solved error 495 than there is definitely no body in Maldives that can.
And I am experimenting one thing after another by myself. And I am seeing some progress. I just achieved 46%.

@Unforgiven specifically said he had that problem and fixed it on an older phone, so your statement is patently false. Unfortunately what fixed his problem didn't fix yours. That's because error 495 is far to general and can apply to many different problems. When you add a variable to your 2 x 2 equation, then it may no longer equal 4, but if you don't know what that variable is then you really can't say there is a right answer.

If you only want replies from people in the Maldives who own the same phone and not only have had the same problem but also solved it, you are going to have a long wait.

When did Unforgiven said he had the same problem and fixed it? He clearly said his problem happens no matter the size. Mine only happens when it is a large game. And he wasn't sure if it was error 495 or not.
And the part I bolded for you. When did I said that's what I want. Here is what I said in my first post.
If any one really knows how to fix error code 495 and fixed it before than please tell me how to do it. If there isn't any one able to it than just ignore this thread. Please don't post unrelated stuff. If any one haven't had this problem and fixed it by themself than please please please just don't post after searching Google. Unrelated posts doesn't help.
Do you see Maldives or the same phone requirement there. All I want is someone who had the error 495 and solved it to tell me how they did it. If there isn't anyone here that solved error 495 before than I said to ignore the thread. Because I knew someone without the appropriate knowledge can only waste my time. That is what happened.

I'm sorry. At this point there are no other solutions, tricks, fixes, or things to try to fix your problem. My educated guess is that the problem lies with your less than ideal connectivity, but since you aren't willing to troubleshoot with folks willing to help and offer ideas and are only looking for an ironclad 'solution' to your problem and feel anyone willing to help that doesn't have the precise solution is wasting your time, this thread has run its course. I hope you have better luck finding a solution.
