I can connect to the internet and other app stores like my amazon app store. For some reason i cannot connect to my google playstore. Why is this happening?
 
You might need to force close the Google Play Store.
Here's how;
Go to Settings
Select: Applications.
Select: Running
Select play store. -May be called Google Play or Google Play Store-
Select: Force Close and Clear Cache.

Hopefully this helps :)
 
I tried that a few times and i even uninstalled it as well and nothing happened.I cleared the data and nothing happened. I tried to convert back to the previous app store and still nothing happened.

Its making me mad :(
 
Wow, all i had to do when enable automatic date&time and then it worked perfectly. Took 3 days to figure this out.
 
Well at least you know that now.. the other thing I was going to tell you to try is to go into Settings; Accounts and Sync; What ever google account your play store is used with, and sync that account. This is what I did with my phone and I have helped other people with this problem, and this usually solves the issue.

Just letting you know:)

i try that but when i go to running it doesn't have google play...and even market which is in my andriod fone.. pls.. send me another tips.
 
Ok so I have a nexus 7and I did everything on this thread and still it says network error. My sync page says sync error? So now what?
 
Thanks for posting this. Turns out I was having the same issue. I assume if the devices date and time doesnt match up correctly then Google Services won't sync to your device. As a side note, this problem will cause your 4G and Wifi icons to turn grey because Blue icons indicate the phone is connected to Google Services.

I must have turned off Automatic Date and time when I was on vacation and wanted the phone to show the time at home instead of the local time. Again, thanks for the tip!
:D
 
Why the hell does the date and time have to be set on auto for a tablet to connect to Google Play? That is Absolutely Absurd and Unbelievable!!
