Google Play Store Error 963 - 3 Ways to Fix

App cache and data. Thanks you guys 👍

"Unmount sd card' worked for me. Thanks!

Yes! Thanks a lot! Method no.2 worked for me.

I try all three metho but only external storage method work thnks for the advice

Thanks its work for me

tnks

Thanks. Method no 2 works for me. ��

I had error 963 on a Asus ZenPad 8.0 with Lollipop 5.0.2. I had tried clearing out the Play Store Cache for this error, that didn't seem to work. What did work was to just stop the "auto moving to SD" function that Asus offers in the Settings. I didn't have to unmount the card, or mess with the launcher. Tho' those are good things to know if I need to try them in the Future.

I also had an Error 506, that with all of the things that I did, I'm not sure what fixed it. Turning off the Auto Scanning utility, the AutoStart util, or clearing out the Play Store Cache, and rolling it back to factory version. But that APP (Kindle) did install.

With all of the Junk that Asus installed and I've disabled, I'm giving serious thought to ROOTing it to clear out their crapola.

I am using cheery mobile flare J1 and i still cannot download apps from playstore. must there be something wrong with the phone itself? Plsssssssss heeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllpppppppppppp

Same model as Randy,did the same and it worked

Step 2 worked. Thanks!

App had been installed to SD card. Moved it to the internal storage. Update works :)

None of that works..there must be another way

Downgrade Play Store! Thank you!!!

None of the above worked. Actually did it with a representative of google on the phone. Also have done an FDR. We believe it's a hardware/ device problem

Method 3 - downgrade Play Store worked for me. Thanx

2nd method worked for me thanks

Unmounting the SD Card on my Samsung Galaxy J2 worked. Never had a problem with this error and having to go through this process before. I hope its not a regular thing. Lucky i kept my reciept for my phone.

Have Samsung using android 5.1.1. Downgraded Play Store and that solved the problem. Thanks.

Unmounting my SD card worked. Thanks!

downgrading playstore.. worked for me.

Delete data and cache for Play Store did not help. Moving failing apps from SD card to tablet worked. That meant no need to unmount SD card

The apps that were causing the issue were on my SD card, so I had to move them to the device storage, and then update. Very annoying, and I've never run into this issue until now on my Samsung Galaxy S5.

Tnkz... no.2 worked for me

#2 worked for me -- thanks so much!!!

Same for me - can update if 1) downgrade PlayStore (but it gets updated again within minutes), or 2) app is moved back to Device Storage.

Number 1 didn't work. I had to unmount the SD card.

It's great!! No.2 works for me;-)

Method no. 2 (unmounting SD card) worked for me, thanks so much!!!
This had been driving me crazy for quite some time!

For me as well - good info!

#2) SD Card: If the app is downloaded to SD Card you may see Play store error 963 on your phone. Moved the app back to the phone and violaa. Thanks guys

I never load apps to my SD card. Nevertheless, unmounting the SD card was not enough. I had to physically remove the SD card, then the install worked.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

No.2, unmount SD card (Samsung S4, and only needed for one app - Aldiko Premium - the rest update fine.)

Yeah same here.

Unmounting SD Card did the trick.

Samsung s4 with an error code 903
Unmounting the sd card worked for me

Option 2 helped. But transferring all the apps back to the device is not only tedious but also slows down the device. Hope it's a temp issue with Google and we can transfer all apps back to sd card. Thanks.

Uninstall the play store update

I use Pure shot+ (Hisense) and I uninstall the play store update. the version is 5.5.12. It works well.

I had to do all 3 together for it to work as individually didn't! (Hudl 2 pegatron)

It updates automatically, however keep uninstalling Google play update and return to original version as since the new update will keep having error messages when updating some apps, even though Google are saying it is not the update they will not look into it!!

Foutcode 963 playstore. unistall update playestore like this can update

Worked for me too. Lenovo K3 Note

i unmount the sd card and then it works, it late but works, thanks buddy!

me too

No2 worked for me also. Thanks!

I got a warning saying it would permanently delete a bunch of stuff if I deleted the data, and I'd already done step two, so I went to step three and used a downgraded version of the playstore, and sure enough this worked. Thank you so much.

Thanks it worked on my Amazon Fire by Unmounting the SD card

Unmount worked after fighting this for the last four hours! You guys rock!

Samsung Galaxy S5 downloading the Dominations 3.7 update. I uninstalled the Google play store updates, cleared the play store cache, moved dominations to internal memory, and unmounted my SD card. You should be able to update dominations.

Moved to storage mobile from SD.
THANKS

I don't sure which works for me, but I have done clearing caches as well as unmounting sdcard, either of them helped me, thanks anyway

Well Bless God. I unmounted my SD card and it worked for me. Now, being techy as I'm, I tried option 1 and 2 before I ever read an article regarding this situation. And surprisingly, I didn't think about the last option until I read this. They really say the more you live is the more you learn. But, worked well for my S5. Now, my note 3 has the same issue. So, I'm about to do the same. Thank you for this article. Blessed Love

downgrading worked for me. thanks

Galaxy Note 3: first got error 907 then tried again and got 907. Emptied cache etc, restarted phone, unmounted/removed sd card then finally uninstalled play store and Google photos app which was the one I was trying to update. Reinstalled. That finally did it thank you for the info as I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise

Moving the app from the external SD CARD solved the update problem. This must be a new bug. I didn't have to do this before and updates still worked, though the updated app would have been moved by Playstore to internal storage automatically.

Downgrading Google play worked for me.

Here's what worked for me:
1) Clear data for Google Play Store
2) Launch Google Play Store and sign in
3) Clear Data for the app that is to be updated (eg. in this case, Mozilla Firefox, etc.)
4) Update the App
5) Done
