GT-I9500 Google's apps (Gmail, Play Store, Hangouts) Not working Android 4.3 No Connection Error

[Faisal Irfan Yar Khan]

Hi guys,

I am a newbie here, so I will just explain it in layman's terms. I am running Android 4.3 on Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9500 variant. Its not rooted. I have been using it since I bought it a year ago, with no problems. Since yesterday my Gmail, Play Store, Hangouts are not working and it always give "No Connection" error. I tried clearing up the cache, clearing up the data of Google Play Store and Google Play Services as many other forums and threads have advised, but it's not working. I also tried the factory reset, and it went crazier as I wasn't able to sign in my Google Account in the first place. After trying again and again and again it miraculously signed in, but I still cannot access Google's other apps. I thought somehow the host file can be responsible for it but I don't know how it could be or how to fix it, if it is the culprit. I will be grateful to you guys if you can help out here

Thanks

Welcome to the forums.
Try resetting app preferences. Settings>application manager>menu>reset app preferences. This sometimes helps with Play issues.

Yes. I have tried that to. But it doesn't seems to work.
