Getting the “No connection” error in Aptoide? Here’s a quick fix.

If you are an adept Android user who download apps regularly, you must have come across “Aptoide”, at one point or another. The app serves as an “app downloading platform” (like Play Store), from where Android apps can easily be downloaded. However, users often complain about a number of errors associated with this app, one of which is the “No connection” error.

To fix this error, follow through this guide with undivided attention.

How to Fix the “No Connection” Error in Aptoide

Method 1: Troubleshoot Network Connection

Typically, the “No connection” error-message indicates that “there is no internet connection” (Wi-Fi or mobile internet). Hence, as a first line of defence, you should check your mobile internet or Wi-Fi connection, and troubleshoot as appropriate.

To troublehoot internet connection, simply disconnect and reconnect to your device’s network connection (Wi-Fi or Mobile). You can also try the following:

• Disable internet.
• Set your phone to “Flight” mode.
• Disable “Flight” mode.
• Reconnect to the internet.
• Check if the error is fixed.

If it persists, the problem’s probably not from your device’s internet.

Method 2: Force Close App

If you’ve ascertained the stability of your internet connection, it’s possible that the problem is from the app itself, in which case, you can try and “Force Stop” it. This will refresh the app and fix minor glitches.

To “Force Close” Aptoide:

• Go to Settings > Application Manager
• Locate and tap on “Aptoide”
• Click on Force Close.

You can also clear the app’s data, by following the steps above, but this time select “Clear data”: Settings > Application Manager > Aptoide > Storage > Clear data.

If the issue persists, you can try the next solution.

Method 3: Restart Device

Like every tech gadget, device reboot is one of the basic solutions to fix various forms of errors on Android OS. This is because restarting a device wipes off all temporary files and bugs, and this could be the trick to fix the “No connection” error in Aptoide.

Method 4: Uninstall & Reinstall Program

As a last resort, you can uninstall the app from your device and reinstall (upgrade) to the latest version.

To reinstall Aptoide, simply uninstall it: Settings > Application Manager (Apps) > Aptoide > Uninstall. You would have to confirm uninstallation in the prompt window.

After successful uninstallation, go to Maladiva and install (upgrade to) the latest version of the app. This would require you to download the app’s APK, before installing it on your smartphone or tablet.

This should fix the “No connection” error, and you should now be able to connect and download/install apps with ease.

Can’t download apps on Aptoide? This guide will show you a quick fix.

Aptoide is a pseudo-platform built like (and hosted on) Play Store; basically to provide Android users access to certain apps. It hosts a wide variety of apps and it’s been used extensively by Android users to download their favorite applications.

However, several users have complained of not being able to download/install/update apps from the platform, in which case, they typically encounter the error-message: “No connection” or “App not installed”.

To fix this, you can try the fixes herein.

Fix: Aptoide If It Can’t Download Apps

Before trying any fix, ensure that you have a stable mobile internet or Wi-Fi connection. This is because an unstable internet connection could be the primary cause of the problem.

Fix 1: Enable Permission in Settings

At times, being unable to download apps from Aptoide is basically due to configuration issues, particularly those associated with ‘permissions’. The main setting, in this case, is the “Unknown sources (Allow installation of apps from unknown sources)” permission. And any downloading/installation platform (like Aptoide) other than Play Store is categorized as an “unknown source”.

Therefore, if you’re having problems downloading apps from Aptiode, simply go to your Settings > Security and enable the “Unknown sources” option. You can then go ahead and download/install your favorite apps unhindered.

If the problem persists, you can try the next fix.

Fix 2: Clear Data

You can try and clear the app’s (Aptoide) data, and see if it fixes the error. This action would clear off certain files/data that could be causing (or contributing) to the error.

To clear Aptoide’s data on your smartphone or tablet, do the following:

• Go to
• Select Apps or Application Manager.
• Locate “Aptoide” and click on it.
• Select Storage (under Aptoide’s settings menu)
• Select Clear data and/or Clear cache.
• Exit ‘Settings’.

Launch Aptoide and check if you’re now able to download/install/update apps.

Fix 3: Reinstall Aptoide

If you’re still unable to download apps (from Aptoide), there is possibility of a major glitch(s), bug(s) and/or virus attack, in which case, you may have to reinstall the app.

To do this, follow the steps below:

• Go to Settings > Application Manager.
• Locate and click on “Aptoide”.
• Select Uninstall and confirm action.
• Go to Play Store (the app’s currently unavailable) or Maladiva and download Aptoide (APK).
• Install the app.
• Launch it and sign in as appropriate.

This should fix the problem, and you should now be able to download/update apps without worry.

Closing Note

Due to the ongoing trade war between the US and China, and the consequent collusion of Huawei with Aptoide, Google may implement some restrictions or changes (sooner or later), which could render some of the solutions herein ineffective. For instance, Aptoide is currently unavailable (hidden) on Play Store. But you can download it on other apk downloads sites.
