When you’re downloading or installing an app it is imperative that you have a stable internet connection. If the connection dropped during the process, it will sometimes result to files getting corrupted and triggers the error 495 or any other error for that matter to show up. We need to rule out the possibility that this error is due to an interrupted connection and to do so, all you need to do is reset the network settings. Here’s how it’s done:

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen to pull the notification panel down.
2. Tap the Settings icon on the upper-right corner.

1. Turn off the device.
2. Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.

5. Press the Volume down key several times to highlight wipe cache partition.
6. Press Power key to select.
7. Press the Volume down key to highlight yes, them and press the Power key to select.
8. When the wipe cache partition is complete, Reboot system now is highlighted.
9. Press the Power key to restart the device.

Once the phone has successfully rebooted following the clearing of the cache, try to open the Play store and see if the error 495 is fixed or no longer pops up. If it still does, then try the next solution.
