If you do not want an account, you can skip the steps in this guide and go directly to the Google Play instructions (also listed below). You can verify if you do have an account associated with your device by going to this link: Now, let's start the guide. Go to Settings > Apps. In the list of apps, scroll down and you will see the one that looks like "Play Store". Right-click it and select "Uninstall". The uninstallation process will begin.

As it installs the app, it will ask you if you want to continue. Click "OK" and wait for the installation to complete. After the installation completes, the Play Store app should show up in the list of apps in Settings.

If it does not, then please use these instructions to install the Google Play Store app from Google's website: I hope that helps. If you need any additional help, feel free to contact me through the support page. I am new to android but I have been trying to fix the play store not working on my samsung galaxy s8 plus because every time I go to the play store it says I need to add a google account. I never added one I just bought the phone. I even tryed to sign out of my account but still not working and I don't know how to sign in.

In order to create a Google account on your phone, you must first add the Play Store app to your phone.

Why is the Play Store not working?

My first reaction when I open up the Play Store today was that it's a bit glitchy.

A few minutes later I was at a deadlock in the app's home screen. Google Play Store is really, really popular.

I started a process as it's still running. I opened up a game while all the others were waiting for the Play Store to finish loading. And then - no, no no. No way. After 3 minutes of a crash I get a message, that the Play Store can not start because of an error:

After getting rid of the old apps and putting them back in via the App Manager I finally found a solution to the problem. Google seems to have disabled the Play Store a couple of times recently - and this time you have to make a choice if you want to pay for the premium subscription. And then I was on my way, back to playing with the game. If you get this error after updating to Lollipop don't worry. Here's how you can get around the issue (of course with the paid subscription)

If the Play Store gets reset again by Google - well, there might be a few things to try. Try to reset the cache and data of the Play Store. Try to go into "settings", then "manage apps" and select your apps in the left side bar. Click on the arrow to the left of the Play Store listing to choose "Clear data" for all apps or, if you only want to clear the Play Store listing, click on "clear cache" next to it.

Try clearing the Play Store. Just in case Google has made a mistake and doesn't even have Play Store in their minds any more, try clearing the Play Store. Make sure to follow the steps carefully, otherwise you might end up with no Android at all.

From the home screen of your phone go to Settings Now open Play Store again. You will see a warning screen saying the "data of the play store is damaged and won't be recoverable". You're about to lose all of the data from your Play Store account! However, if you already use your Play Store to buy apps, games and other things, then you are warned. If you need to buy something else after the warning, there will be no way back.

Click on "OK".

How do I fix my Google Play Store?

My first device with Android was a Motorola Droid.

The Android platform was in its infancy when I bought my phone. I was excited about it, but after a few months, I got bored with the UI. It didn't look good and lacked some functionality that I wanted. I'd go online and see the latest trends and start wondering what I was missing. I did a lot of research at the time and finally found a solution: rooted. I was thrilled to find this little gem, so I set off to rooting my phone. You know, rebooting it and then going into a shell and changing all the settings for it.

I used the phone for a little while, but then I became disenchanted by my new toy. First, there were problems with the ROM. I'd call it buggy and then when I rebooted, the system would not load. When that happened, it meant that I had to do some more research online and the next thing I knew, I had a virus on my phone. So I unrooted it. I went back to the Android 2.0 system that I'd originally rooted. That was interesting, but still wasn't what I wanted. I realized that the only way to get Android the way I wanted it was to be able to flash it onto an SD card. It's what I used to have when I first had the Motorola Droid. I did some research online about how to root my phone, but there was no info. I'd do a search for it and I'd get a ton of articles, but there would be nothing about rooting my phone. After a while, I decided to just call up the AT&T store and ask them about it. They told me that if I brought in the phone, they'd give me a free one (that didn't work) and then a little later, they told me that I couldn't get it to work because my phone was damaged. I bought a new phone, but it didn't have a rooted firmware.

A couple of years later, I bought my first Verizon Droid. That was even worse. It was so outdated that it was useless, but I didn't know that.
