V70 tablet communicating Google problem how to fix

Can you help me

 

[Evina]

I FIXED this issue fortunately (Tags Account Action required, Couldnt sign in Google cant communicate with servers try again etc )'
Note: You will be needed a rooted android device.
1. Remove your google account.
2. Download root explorer apk by googling it and install it to your device.
3. Open root explorer first mount it as read and write (you can see the mount option from root explorer main window clearly) and move on to
this directory (system>etc>long press hosts and select "open in text editor ")
4. Then erase everything there and type following .
127.0.0.1 localhost
#127.185.66.4 android.clients.google.com
5. Save it and by touching 3 dots on top right corner then save and exit
6. Now if u have not google play services installed (You can check it in settings>Application manager) then download apk by
googling(Google play services apk for android 4.4/5.0 or for whatever version you are on) .
7.Once installed simply go to settings>add account>google account and you will be able sign in normally.And wont receive any error
messages.
don't forget to say thanks.
Have a nice day

I tried this twice and still did not work. I did each step making sure to save it. It didn't save and I'm still having the same problem.

I have a galaxy pocket. I did a factory reset. Now I can't (or can - it alters every time I try) access play store. When I do manage to get in, I can't download whatsapp. It throws out an error DF-DLA-15... Trying to sign in to my google account throws out a server communication error. I also don't know how to uninstall neither playstore nor the google account from the phone completely. (tech-dummy I am).
Baffled... plz help:-

This is a nasty one. Started getting the message about problems communicating with Google Servers last week. Plenty of hits search for this, and none of the workarounds are helping me out.

1. Removed the Google Account and tried to re-add
2. Cleared all Google app caches and forced stop.
3. Ensured the Date/Time is set correctly
4. Tried with various accounts .... same thing
5. 2 Step not enabled
6. Non-rooted device. Hosts file looks clean (only localhost entry)
7. Not going to reset to factory since I have seen others state the problem persists even after the reset.
8. The network connectivity is fine, browsing to Gmail, Account, Play Store works fine.
I am at a complete loss as to why this is happening. Does anyone have any other things to try?

Thx

If you have a rooted device, go to root directory...etc...hosts. Open hosts file with editor. If the ip address does not have # in front of it, download total commander and edit the host file by putting # in front of ip address. Done

The last ip address in line. Sorry. Has android.clients.com after it

I am At the end of my tether. I have tried everything to clear the message and be able to sign in again on my Android M8 box. What are we supposed to do when all you get are faceless solutions from google. Great if you are into technology but for a novice its impossible. I have noticed the number of people with the same problem surely there must be a solution. PLEASE help.
