Most smartphones will set the correct date and time using your carrier and geo-location automatically. No sweat. But sometimes, it may not be the case. Conflicting time. Also, check that the time zone is correct while you are at it.
If you think the timing is correct, maybe you should try and change it briefly to something else. Not all smartphones support external SD card, especially premium smartphones but if yours does, and you are using an SD card, you should remove it. SD cards can get corrupted, hit with virus or malware , or may need formatting.
If any of the above is true, it is possible that the SD card is not allowing the Play Store to download apps. As most of you already know, you can install apps and save data in SD cards too. If everything fails, it may be possible that something is wrong with your Google account. Maybe a setting or permission is coming in the way. To make sure that this is not the reason, log out of your primary Google account and try downloading the app using a different Google account.
If the download works, you will have to check your Google account settings and permissions. Tap on Google here. When you tap on More at the bottom of the screen, you will see an option to Remove account. You can then add a new Google account and check how things go. Play Store uses the Download Manager app to manage all downloads and updates on Android smartphones. Check if the Download Manager app has been disabled and if yes, you need to enable it.
Go to Settings and tap on Apps. You are looking for System Apps here. Under system apps, you will find the Download Manager. Open the Play Store in the browser on your computer and find the app you want to install. Clicking on the Install button will reveal a pop-up where you can choose your current device and install the app quickly and easily.
Staring at the screen, looking at the Google Play Store download pending error can be frustrating. Firstly, we recommend inspecting connection, disabling VPN or Proxy, and, alternatively, trying to switch to Mobile Data and download or update apps that way. Play Store will keep apps in a queue if the connection fails and proceed to download the next time it connects. If you can connect to Wi-Fi and use other connection-dependant apps, but the problem persists, continue to the next step.
If none of these solutions worked, check out our articles dedicated to Wi-Fi and mobile data issues on Android for more workarounds. Moving on, we suggest clearing cache and data from the Google Play Store and the Downloads app. This is probably the most commonly suggested solution, although users are not happy about clearing data every time to fix this error. However, we are looking at a confirmed solution, so make sure to give it a try.
Fortunately, your device allows you to roll back these updates and that should fix the issue for you. Each new app you download to your device requires a certain amount of space.
When you install an app that can open certain file types, your device allows you to set it as the default app for that specific file format. You can always set an app as a default opening tool for your files even when the preferences are reset.
Lastly, if nothing works and you still have the Play Store download pending issue on your phone, your last resort should be to reset your phone to the factory settings.
