Installing/updating apps over mobile data On my LG G2 device running Android 4.2.2, I can't seem to install or update any applications while on the mobile network. I can still access the Play Store but upon tapping "Update", the download progress bar remains at 0% and fails after a while (presumably timing out).

I have only restricted background data on YouTube and Instagram but I don't think this would affect the Play Store. 

Is this problem solvable or was this done by design? I am not rooted and do not have intention of rooting the device.
I think I found it, as I had the same problem:


In the Settings go to Mobile Data.
Scroll down to item "Media" and tap it.
Scroll down and see if "Limit background data" is checked. If so, uncheck


This was the cause in my case, because for the Play Store app the same setting was not active. The problem with Android in this situation is, that there is a global setting "Limit background data" and there's a per app setting. Unchecking the global setting does not uncheck the per app setting. Doh!
