Well I encountered this issue where Google Play says "No Connection"(Video showing the issue and fix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7B1bSBbaiig)
According to the video the hosts file in the etc folder was modyfied and there was a line added that blocked the server..
The question I have is, How this happened?
Usually via custom rom .
actually, alternative solution is to delete the host file. System automatically replace it once you opened the app again. Have you used Freedom app? That's usually the case for me.

well, tweaking your Google Play Store with apps like Freedom or even Market Unlocker and similar apps will sometimes cause that problem. so deleting the hosts file is the solution. You can fix this with apps like Root Explorer and Root Browser / ROM Toolbox.

Hi,
I am encountering an issue with my phone when using Google Drive. I also have ES File Explorer installed, whose latest version appears to be able to download or open Google Docs files as well. When I try to open a file in Google Drive, I get the popup asking which program I want to use to open the document, if I select Google Docs and tap 'Always', the phone will reboot, if I tap 'Just Once' the file opens normally. Anyone else has experience with this issue, or is able to help resolve it? I have tried reinstalling the apps and clearing their data, and failed to solve the problem.
I am running XXEMC2 (BTU), rooted with Perseus Kernel and some CPU tweaks. Yes, my CPU is undervolted but I have not suffered any other crashing / bootloop / hanging issues with the phone. I can reliably trigger this reboot by trying to set Google Docs as the default app for opening Google Docs files.

I have the very same problem on a stock Galsxy S3 (rooted).
Why aren't software developers test their stuff before ruining to everybody...

Same problem here -- running Jedi Mind Trick on Samsung Galaxy S II.
It looks like the latest update to ES FIle Explorer works around the problem (which their description claims is a bug with Google Drive).
As of today, bug is still here, with version 3.0.5 of ES Explorer, dated from July 14.
Use another file explorer .

Still happening
March 2014, still happening, how has this not been fixed yet, this is Google?
Fix for Google Play/market “Unknown error code during application install:’-24”"
This error usually comes up when you are trying to reinstall an app and it fails to install.
*Requires Root*
Go into Data/data and find the folder/file referring to that app and delete it
Also go to Data/app-lib and do the same (if it is there).
Chances are it is probably only in one location but check both. Usually what this will look like is a bunch of folders in there and the one you are having problems with will look like a file instead – regardless delete the folder/file for that app and then go to google play and it will install.
Also this will work for most TB issues as well but you may have to download the app and restore data only, I have had some work back restoring the app and then restoring data but more luck with just a fresh app from the market.
Many people have reported that this also works for them, just wanted to add it to the help and troubleshooting section.
Working solution of error 24
Method 1 (Sure Fix but requires root):
Install a file manager like Root Manager
Browse to internal storage android/data/com.whatsapp
Delete the com.whatsapp… folder
Now install whatsapp from Google Play

Thanks I fixed mine, my "-24" error came up after I try to restore my GS3. In order to get the install to go through you have to delete the existing folder of the associated app first
Root Manager > Root/data/user/0 > find any app folder you are having trouble installing (the name is either by app name or maker's name > confirm & delete.
try to reinstall the app from Play Store and it should work. (In my case I think it's because i have a list of apps from my other acct and during the restore session somehow the Play Store was confused and couldn't verify the app install.)
thanks worked fine.
i face this issue whnever i clean dalvik cache thrugh Link2SD plus

did you install Freedom or any Ad Blocker?
No. I think it's more a problem from wifi becasue with 3g it's working.
After rooting my phone, the store and everything works fine, but when I launch Ingress to check if the FasterGPS really works, I get a "The google play services has stopped working" error and I can't do anything about it. I tried reinstalling it, but nothing works :/ Even uninstalling AdFree as paviano has suggested did not help.. I hope it won't happen with any other apps.
It is because of a hosts.txt file
Somehow you need to download a root browser (try downloading an apk off the internet seeming you cannot connect to Google Play), and then delete a file called hosts.txt. This file sets the ports and IP adress that the Play Store must connect to and after rooting it sometimes doesn't work. So it is found under etc/hosts.txt. Just delete it and it should solve your problem :fingers-crossed:

On my phone its just under etc/, and im not entirely incorrect saying its hosts.txt because it is a text file

/etc/ is a symlink to /system/etc/ so i suppose that you are right but hosts is not a txt file.
Its a binary (sort of) which contains text.

I found this "-505" error prevalent on two of my MediaTek MT6735 MKU82ZPZ/A devices, it's probably common with China Phones, which install a certain list of stock Google apps, the QuickSearch Box not being included.
I have found a solution for this, based on my issues with blocking forced updates with Google Play services and the Google Play Store:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3091832
I figured since these two added folders in the system / data / app folder prevented Google Play services from updating:
system/data/app/com.google.android.gms-1.apk/
and
system/data/app/com.google.android.gms-2.apk/
And that adding the specific folder for the Play Store also prevents Play Store from unwanted updates, then I should be able to actually Force an app to install as if it were a stock app (but it will not really be installed as a system app, it will still be "user").
I chose, not the latest beta for the Google Search app, but one from a couple of days ago:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...gle-app-6-0-17-21-arm64-android-apk-download/
So that would be Google search v6.0.17.
Next, I renamed the APK file into the format that I used to block the Google play services update, and then I created a path in the proper system folder:
/data/app/com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1/
In this case, there was no need to add the dot-APK extension to the folder.
What's next? Okay basically you take the APK file that you had named "com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox-1" and then you place it in that folder.
After you have moved it in there, you're just going to have to rename it to "base.APK".
And then using the app "FX", install it using "root package installer". Basically, just tap the APK file and you'll see a popup, just choose "root package installer" and then install it. Then reboot your device and you will have Google search on your springboard or in your appdrawer when it comes back up.
Needless to say, you have to be rooted in order to do this. It works best with the "FX" explorer app as it allows installing an The APK as a root package, which allows it to be installed. Because if you try to install it manually, it just fails.
This is for specific Lollipop 5.1 MediaTek MT6735 systems, maybe some other systems do it too, whenever you come across the "-505 error" - I don't know if this error is specific for this particular package or if will occur with other Google apps.
Whatever happens, if this succeeds in installing quicksearch for you, leave the base.APK file in that folder otherwise the app will stop working.
Oh yes, I dictated all of this into my MTK device using the regular stock keyboard with its new dictation button provided by Google search.
Hi, the program Tinycam monitor Pro was working ok but today I was going to update the list of cameras from Download folder (by xml file) something went wrong and I can't access archive from this app. please look the video:
I have this error as it tries to open the default android file manager (or library) that it looks to have been redirected to another installed program, how can I fix it? Which is the name of the app/service for file manager? I've searched for it in all apps and all system apps, to delete its data and restore it, I couldn't find a compatible name. In this Android (probably 7) there aren't options to choosethe deafault apps too, It's a Sony Bravia.
I've tried to delete data of Tinycam monitor Pro, uninstall and reinstall it from google play. I've stopped other apps to boot from startup and reboot, I've installed another file manager hoping it put itself as "default". I've tried with all other apps (VLAN, Mxplayer, file manager, x plore, ando others) accessing the storage, and they do it without problems, except this. How can I fix it? Which google module I've to "reset" to try fix it? How other choices I have?
Thanks
Has somebody idea how to solve it? Thanks
I'm searching for help, thank you
help, thanks
