You might have come across some error messages when trying to access or download apps from Google Play Store, with some of them containing random codes/numbers which are very difficult to understand, talk more of decoding.



This proves that Google Play Store has its own headaches. But I'll be explaining some of these error codes with methods to fix them. They are up to 47 error codes in PlayStore, so this post will be divided into two(2) or three(3) parts. Here is part 1, which is pointing at 10 Google Play Store error messages and solutions.

1. Google Play - Error DF-BPA-09 'Error Processing Purchase'

Google Play Error Processing Purchase DF-BPA-09 shows up very often when trying to download an app. Attempt to download the app again won't make this problem go away, so you’ll need to go into the settings.

• Swipe to the All column.
• Scroll down until you see
  Google Services Framework

Android devices are the main carriers of this problem. But here are three(3) ways to fix it—one will surely work for you.

Solutions

1. Enter the Accounts tab in the settings of your phone. Then remove the Google account and add it again. If everything works after this then it was a simple little error that's sometimes displayed after an update.
2. Go into your Settings, tap Application manager then go into the Google Play Store. Delete the data from this menu (you can also clear the cache).
3. Maybe the problem is not really in your authentication, but the Play Store itself. In this case, you only have to go to application settings (Settings >
   Applications ), search the Play Store and click Uninstall updates . Maybe you need to disable the Play Store to get to this started. That way you get the version of the Play Store that you had when you purchased the phone, you just have to update it and then re-register.
