'no connection' in Play and Gmail - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
Recently, I came across the 'no connection', retry - error in both Google Play and Gmail on my rooted SGS2 with CM7. Haven't had this problem before, it just started out of the blue.
I've done my research, and have tried
- setting date/time to correct values
- clearing data of Gmail and Play app
- re-flashing gapps
- battery pull
all without success. If it helps, the Gmail app seems still to be able to receive messages, just not sending. Also, the 'no connection' error pops up 95% of the time, but not always.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, but it did not work.

are other apps able to connect to the internet?
does it happen on both wifi and 3g?
check the apn settings and compare it to the ones your provider states on his weg page

- yes, the browser and whatsapp, for example, work just fine
- yes
- that was a tricky one, but yes, they are the same.
any other suggestions guys?

At last you can do factory reset.
In my cousin galaxy y duos this happened..
He was only able to use tubemat at that time after factory reset all worked fine

I was afraid this would happen.. Damn.
Alright, thanks for the suggestions all.

Its not big deal as much as we use our device roughly and download tons of weird things
We have to do that..
we all should be polite enough to press thanks for anyone who helped US.

I'm sorry mate I can only think of either 3g being too slow in your region and wifi not functional.
Try different sim... Or if you are rooted try clearing dalvik cache...

Even if not rooted, you can clear dalvik through recovery.
Just clear data for market in application manager.

I had this problem as well. Clearing the application data in the application manager didn't fix the problem for me. However, about 2 days later I randomly tried the Market app again and it worked long enough for me to update my apps. Then it went back to the "No connection" error. This is on a stock XT860 in Canada. There is no apparent pattern in terms of time, how many time hitting "retry" will make it work (if at all)...
I haven't tried any "low level" fixes yet.
One thing to ensure is that your system date and time are accurately set. If it's wrong, market and gmail will not connect.

I just solved my problem! Since I'm running a newly installed ROM, I wondered if my APN settings were correct (you would think so, since I could browse the net over data). Anyway, I went into the APN settings, and there were several 2Degrees APNs configured. I changed my default from "2degrees mobile" to "2degrees internet", and now Google Play works over data!
Having same problem.
Using Neatrom 3.5 on my S2.
In UK with Giffgaff.
Cant access Play store over 3G/HSPDA+ , But over WiFi its fine.
Tried all the tricks - clear cache, sign in out, reset time, reset phone and reinstalled ROM
If i access play store over WiFi first (then turn WiFi off), then i can at least continue to access/browse it over 3G/HSPDA+, but i can only make new purchases over WiFi and never over Cell data.
Something weird going on

To solve the problem one thing i did was to go to Google Services Framework and clear data, reboot, clear play store data reboot and it should work.
Managed to fix my problem.
I tried all the clearing data/caches, relogging in etc etc and none of that worked.
After reading onlyonejoefish post about his carriers APN settings, it got me thinking.
As i'm in the Uk with GiffGaff i was getting my APN settings from texting "settings" to "2020" and a configuration message came back with them in - and that is what i'd been using.
However i downloaded an app to delete all my phones APN's, then manually inputted my APN settings myself.
This solved my problem, i can now access the play store over cell data

Finally solved the problem
i solved the problem of google in my android by downloading a app from this link below:
downloadhotportal.blogspot.com[/url]
:laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:
Do this and then this, noting accounts.db has moved to /data/system/users/0/ on Android 4.2. Note: This removes all your accounts from Android not just your Google account, but having to re-add them is a small price to pay for a working Google Play.
After this happened again, I tried an alternative to removing accounts.db which worked well. I created another Google account then went to
menu => Accounts
In Google Play and added my new Google account. Then I switched back to the original account. To clean up I went to
Settings app => Accounts => Google
Selected the new account then selected "Remove account" from the menu button.

[Q] Google Play not working with wifi !

Hi All!
I own a desire x which is unrooted, and have been using it for around a year. Recently, Google play has stopped working with MY WiFi only . It keeps on loading showing the circular sign and nothing appears ... However , it works on any other WiFi network or even when I use mobile data ..... I have researched a lot and tried pretty much everything except a factory reset .. any suggestions? I read on some other forum that even a reset didn't fix the problem :/ Please help
If it happens only with your wifi, tell us how is your setup? Which type of wifi router, which security options and so on. Maybe there is something wrong there. Also, have you tried reconfiguring your wifi or even resetting your wifi router?

Reset your router first (just turn it off and then turn it on again) if that doesn't work I think you will have to factory reset your phone

Factory reset the phone, make a backup of your apps, contact's etc. beforehand
Then, as @GtrCraft said, try a factory reset of your phone (backup important data first!)
Try using a Proxy or alternative way to access the Playstore, can you access from the web browser on you're mobile ? is it possible you're ISP has blocked the Playstore?

Try clearing cache and maybe data for both Google Play services and Google Play Store, if there is "uninstall updates" shown, do the "uninstall updates", reboot and let the Play Store updating again.

Found the SOLUTION!
What I did was that I changed my DnS of my WiFi network on my phone to 8.8.8.8(which is the Google dns) and it works!!!!thanks for your responses anyway !!!
Ok, so there exists some kind of DNS block in your WiFi network, strange. But if you don't want to use Google DNS, you can also try OpenDNS (IPs are 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220)

[Q] Gmail won't auto sync/push on S3

Hi All,
My Verizon Galaxy S3 with Cleanrom Seven installed stopped automatically syncing my gmail. I can manually refresh my mail, but it does not sync automatically despite the sync being enabled. I've also wiped data, removed my google account, and even done a factory reset without restoring any google data...and although it occasionally works temporarily, it always stops working.
If a factory reset won't fix it, I don't know what to do anymore. Help?!?!?!
Thank you!!!

Random Reboot

Has anyone experienced random reboots on the latest firmware update from T-Mobile?
Don't know how to reproduce the problem to pinpoint what's causing the issue. This is the third time it has happened... Is doing a Master Reset the only option? (Wanted to mention I'm all stock, first phone where I don't see Root is necessary, IMO, just yet.)
Didn't see a need to update mine. Still on BH5 and things are working great.
I guess I would try clearing cache first, from the recovery menu. If that didn't solve the reboot problems ... Clear cache+factory reset but make sure you back up everything first. Full factory reset on the S5 wipes the internal SD card as well. Downloads, files, pictures, text messages, phone call log ... Will be all gone.

I don't understand. I try to wipe cache partition and it works on command but once I reboot the phone it says error and it just loads up the phone. What's up with that? Do I need to factory reset?
Some are saying that the volte is causing this. I have turned that off and havent seen a reboot since

That's weird because I've never had this issue until the most recent update. Sigh. This is annoying as hell. Can't even enjoy the phone stock.
