Updated March 17, 2026

Quick Fix

Restart your device, then clear the cache of the app causing the issue. If that fails, disable any VPN or proxy and try again.

What it Means

Android Error 495 is a system-level failure that usually pops up during app installation, network requests, or when the OS detects corrupted data. It signals that the Android framework cannot complete the requested operation, often due to corrupted cache, bad network settings, or outdated system files.

Possible Causes

  • 1
    Corrupted app cache or data
  • 2
    Outdated OS or firmware
  • 3
    Misconfigured VPN/proxy
  • 4
    Faulty network connection
  • 5
    Incompatible app version
  • 6
    Device storage full

How to Fix

    Step-by-Step Solutions

    1. Restart Device

      A quick reboot clears temporary files and resets network connections, often resolving transient errors.

      adb reboot
    2. Clear App Cache

      Navigate to Settings > Apps > [App] > Storage > Clear Cache to remove corrupted temporary data.

      adb shell pm clear com.example.app
    3. Disable VPN/Proxy

      Go to Settings > Network & Internet > VPN and toggle off any active VPN. Disable proxy settings if enabled.

      adb shell settings put global http_proxy ''
    4. Update Android OS

      Check for system updates in Settings > System > Advanced > System update. Install any available patches.

      adb shell settings put global auto_update_enabled 1
    5. Check Storage Space

      Ensure at least 10% free space. Delete unused apps or media if necessary.

      adb shell df /data
    6. Reinstall App

      Uninstall the app, then reinstall from Google Play or a trusted source to replace corrupted files.

      adb uninstall com.example.app; adb install path/to/app.apk
    7. Reset Network Settings

      Resetting network restores default Wi‑Fi, mobile data, and Bluetooth configurations, clearing misconfigurations.

      adb shell settings put global airplane_mode_on 1; adb shell settings put global airplane_mode_on 0
    8. Factory Reset

      As a last resort, back up data and perform a factory reset to restore the device to factory state.

      adb shell recovery --wipe_data

    Commands You Can Try

    adb reboot
    adb shell pm clear com.example.app
    adb shell settings put global http_proxy ''
    adb shell settings put global auto_update_enabled 1
    adb shell df /data
    adb uninstall com.example.app; adb install path/to/app.apk
    adb shell recovery --wipe_data
