I can't access the Play store on my phone by opening the app. If I go through an ad it works fine. Anyone have an idea what could be causing this?
I've tried clearing the data for it as well.

Another cache and data clear along with another reboot mostly fixed it. Still get a timeout every once and a while but it's at least usable

And it started again. Only happens on the Play store home page. Searching works fine. Even tried a hard reset of my phone and that did nothing.

I was going to suggest uninstall all updates and let it re-update, but your hard reset should have done just that. I had a similar problem on my S2 and wound up deleting my Gmail account and reinstalling it and my play store was fine afterwards.

I've seen this happen if you buy / install an app from the Google Play store, and then afterwards Google / the author decides to remove it from the store. SOME of your settings say its there and authorized, some don't. As others have mentioned, deleting your Google account and recreating usually fixes it (as well as a factory reset), as long as you don't let it restore all the apps (i.e. you reinstall the ones from the store individually).

Make sure in date and time menu in settings are right. I had the same issue and it was because somehow it was set to manual, and it would not connect to the play store.
