I've been trying to download this one app from the play store, and keep in mind this only is happening with this app. I've downloaded this app with no problem before, but now all of a sudden when I click download, it downloads like normal, then stops at 5% and says "Waiting for Wi-Fi....Or download now (data charges may apply)" It quickly switches back and forth between the normal download screen and this message, and then at the very end it pulls up a message saying "(App name) can't be downloaded. Try again, and if the problem continues, get help troubleshooting. (Error code:492)" This app is also a large app in which a pop up says "This app is very large. To avoid potential delays or extra data usage charges, use Wi-Fi only." before downloading. I've tried everything, I swear. I cleared the cache, deleted the data, disabled, force stopped, etc. the playstore + other google play services. I uninstalled the play store update and reinstalled it, rebooted my phone and even WIPED it, reformatted the SD card, reset app preferences, took the battery out, checked for any phone updates, and removed and added my google account again. Could someone please tell me how to fix this??? Nothing is working! What makes this even more frustrating is that I paid for this app too...

Maybe the app now became even larger that what it was before..have you gone into the Google play store settings..the part where it says download just over Wi-Fi..you can switch it to over "any network"..see if that works

Go to the settings and select download option. In that disable WIFI option and change to Mobile Data
