Play store (no connection retry)

[ColeenM]

I had this problem after I tried to fix a problem where Google Services was draining my battery. I went to settings and applications and cleared cache and data for Google contacts sync, services framework, acct manager and play services as found on forums for that issue.

But then play store reported the no connection, retry error. I turned on airplane mode, turned it off, changed the time manually, reset app preferences, removed and readded my Gmail account, tried all the things I read all to no avail. Gmail would report you must update Google Play Services and the play store would say no connection. I downloaded a new apk for Playstore, installed that, (my device is rooted). Still didn't work.

Finally I got it. I downloaded an apk for Google Play Services and installed it. Rebooted to success. I also modified my hosts file in systems/etc and added a second line to say #74.125.93.114 android.clients.google.com as found on another forum.
Not sure which of the two worked, but I don't have to do a factory reset. Whew.

I have a cheap at&t android phone that I use strictly for internet radio (pandora, tunein) and it doesn't get it's time / date from any data plan.
So setting the time and date to be correct fixed the problem completely.

I did force stop & clear cache of play store services and g play store prior and so I don't know if that entered into the fixing or not.

hope this helps.
cheers

I had the same issue and I just had to fix the time and date. It was way off and the play store will not connect if it is wrong.

All that I did was, I unchecked the option "Automatic time zone" and wirked.

sahibee, I could just KISS you!!

I had tried EVERYTHING...save factory reset...and I had checked the time...which WAS correct.
Due to your post I tried to reset it anyway...and THAT finally worked.
Thanks sooo much!

Hi All
Ok I have gone through this forum and mostly all Google and BING's search options.
My Play store is still not working. I have tried to connect via broadband and could open it up, but can't download/install anything.
Restart mobile/tab - No Fix
Airplane mode enable/disable - No Fix
Reset/clear play store cache/data - No Fix
Reset/clear Play service cache/data - No Fix
Force stop and disable Play store and Play service. Restart mobile/tab - No Fix
Change time/date manually to anything - No Fix
Ticket auto time sync - No Fix
Deleted all account, restart, and only add Google - No Fix
Reset mobile/tab to factory setting + CLEAR all data - No Fix
When I use normal Browser or Chrome I can connect, thus I do have internet connection.

This has been done on 6 diffrent devices. -
Sasmung S3
Samsung S4
Samsung S5
Samsung Note2
Dell Venue 7
Dell Venue 8
Non is working
I even tried in Bluestacks. - Still no luck.
I have tried with 4 diffrent google accounts. - Non is working
I have even tried 3 diffrent WiFi hotspots. - Non is working
I have even setup a WiFi hotspot from my mobile and connected my tab to that hotspot. - It is not working.

Anyone has something I can try.
PS. I do not want to ROOT my devices.

IF ur playstore is showing that error because u have cleared the google services framework data then the best way is to delete ur google accounts or whatever accounts u have made in settings if u dont know the cause then download hosteditor then see to it that there is only one entry that is localhost delete any other entries and if there is no entry then just add hostname as localhost and ip address 127.0.0.1 then save it And problem solved.............

Google Play Connection is a common error, perform the steps mentioned in this guide. It will start working normally.

1. Clear cache from recovery mode, check date/time ,

2. do factory reset.

Removing my Google account from Menu > Settings > Accounts, restarting, and then adding the account back worked for me.

 

[gth826a]

You can also try logging out of google, then log back in.

Also go to app manager, go to playstore and clear cache.

Sent from my GS3 sporting Wicked Sensations...

Didn't find a "logout" option for Google, but was able to remove my Google account from Menu > Settings > Accounts, restart, and add the account back... that worked for me.

 

[Jeo kazimiro]

[Masacru]

Thank you. This was a life saver. I tried every thing people have posted from time correction, to restart, to wifi, to apn change, to cache fiddling., etc. This worked
I downloaded the apk file of the browser and did as you said. I don't know whether my previously used phone is rooted or not.
