In operational terms, AND-11478 on android usually means the execution path is blocked by state drift between configuration, runtime services, and dependency expectations. How to use this guide: - Start with Quick Fix and stop after the first step that resolves the issue. - If the issue returns, move to Advanced Fix and apply one change at a time. - Use Related Errors to compare adjacent signatures before doing destructive resets. On Android, this kind of failure often comes from state drift between the app, Google Play services, storage/cache layers, and network account sync. Most fixes work best when applied in a strict order: clear temporary state, validate account sync, then reset the specific subsystem.

Common Causes

  • drivers dependency mismatch
  • Corrupted system component
  • Permissions or policy conflict
  • Policy-level permission mismatch affecting execution context.
  • Network DNS/proxy/VPN interference during handshake.
  • Service dependency chain broken after a change window.
  • Interrupted updates or partial dependency changes.

Quick Fix

Quick path for AND-11478: - Restart the device and retry the same action. - Toggle Airplane mode on/off, then re-test connectivity. - Confirm automatic date/time and time zone are enabled. - Ensure you have free storage space (low storage can trigger install/update failures). - Clear cache for the failing app and retry. - If this is Play Store related: clear cache for Google Play Store and Google Play services, then retry. - Sign out and sign back into the Google account if downloads keep failing.

Common Scenarios

  • Error appears during drivers workflow after update.
  • Issue repeats after restart when background services load.
  • Failure is isolated to admin-level operations.
  • The problem happens only on one network and disappears on a hotspot.

  • Error AND-11478 appears only after reboot and disappears in safe mode.
