I have a rooted galaxy s3 i747. Originally with AT&T but unlocked and switched to T-mobile.
Two months ago google play store/any google app stopped working. I couldn't sign into anything. Factory reset it, Still didn't sign in. I recently tried to fix it buy going into etc/hosts and adding the "#" in front of the I.P address. That worked, :good: I could sign into my google accounts.
But now Google play store wont connect. I know for sure my wi-fi is working. Browsing internet works perfectly without errors. It just keeps saying connection timed out, Retry.
I already checked my time/region. Its on automatic, everything correct.
I deleted the hosts file.. nothing. cleared cache, forced stopped, rebooted again and again. disable/enable.
I didn't save a copy of the hosts file though... Not sure if that's a problem or not. I don't know how to go about making another one.
I'm not the brightest when it comes to things like this.
please help.

Here is my issue. When I read or delete an email from my phone, it doesnt reflect in gmail when I login. It still shows as unread. Whenever I get new emails on the phone, it will say I have 5, but I only have 1 because I already read the other 4. But I cannot see them and can only view them then from gmail online.
Never had this issue live past a *228 and reboot. I have cleared cache, tried reflash. Everything. Even went back to a working NAND and still same issue. I am using Aloysius v11 MAPS.
Any thoughts?
Well I guess no one has had this issue. I finally got it working so far after 3 reflashes. NO idea why this happened, but hope it never happens again.
Yesterday, i used my nook (rooted, stock rom 1.4.3) normally. When updated an app on market, i couldn't open it because of force close error. After that, i tried to open play store but it said "no connection" although wifi was ok. Then i tried to reset to stock rom and rooted again, but the icon "market" didn't appear on desktop (i tried 2 times with the same result. I added google account but it appeared this notification "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server.This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care." And now my nook can't install non-market apps although it was rooted
So what should i do now to solve this issue
Sr for bad english
So, I have an unrooted i9100 with 4.1.2 Android version.
Before last night, everything was working fine on my mobile. The thing was I wanted to download youtube videos on phone directly and I installed an app for it. When I tried downloading via it, it stopped around 50%. I tried resuming the download and even restarting it but somehow (and I think each one of us, has seen it some time or the other), a download was stuck in notification bar with no progress. When it kept happening for a long time, I went to its App Info (download manager) and i think I forced stop and disabled it as well (don't remember what I did first. But I had to do the other since, the download thing didn't disappear from notification bar after the first move). After that, I noticed that my play store kept giving that "no connection - retry" thing and dolphin browser "web page unavailable, is your connection dry". But my wifi was working properly since I could easily connect to my laptop and work on it. The more ridiculous fact was that WhatsApp worked.
So, I kept looking for the solution online and there didn't appear to be anything similar to my problem. I did stumble upon a Cyanogenmod website and just found some words like never disable download manager because if you do, you might have to root again or something similar to that. When I saw that, I thought I would have to factory rest. So, I did backup of my data and reset it. The thing is the problem still exists. Frustrating thing is that for one, I can't surf internet on browser, nor download my apps I had previously (especially the paid license ones which don't exist in apk) and update them.
So, I don't really know what can be done in this situation. Do I have to root my phone? I don't really want to, because my past experience with them had not been good while installing new custom roms. But is it unavoidable at this stage?
Edit: I also remembered that I tried using mobile data to open play store. My connection was too slow to open the page, but the "no connection" was not being displayed in the home page so it might have been trying to load.
My cousin just got here from Georgia today. So, my brother and she were playing around, and he somehow reset her phone to factory settings. When she went to sign it, it asked her for a location where she usually signed on. She entered her home city. It said it was incorrect, we kept trying. It then locked her account for 72 hours, and now her phone says she needs to sign in with a account that was previously on the device.
Maybe any Location Mocking App will solve her problem, not sure though.
Try googling for some apps like that and how to use them.
Alright, so at first, google was working fine. while the phone was locked, screen off and it was in my pocket, I could say "Hey google, start a timer for 5 minutes" and it would confirm and start the timer.
Then I updated... and for a while it was saying "Sorry, I can't do that while the device is locked, go ahead and unlock the device". I followed about a dozen suggestions online and one of the suggestions (I'm still not sure which one) worked.
BUT: There's now this problem of: if the screen is off and I say "hey google, start a timer for 5 minutes": The screen will turn on and show the pattern unlock screen (as if it wants me to put in the pattern). If I leave it alone, the screen eventually turns off and google finally responds with "ok, starting the timer"... but then it never actually starts the timer until I pull the device out and unlock it.
Another strange thing is that it won't use the google assistant voice I selected (I selected a natural-sounding male voice but it still uses this robotic-sounding female voice).
I've been through countless forum posts, suggested fixes, have tried everything from restarting to the phone to clearing cache, uninstalling/reinstalling google assistant, changing security settings and even went as far as to factory reset the entire phone... nothing has worked so far. The problem I think is that all of those are solutions to problems that are SIMILAR to, but not exactly like, this. I'm wondering if anyone else has run into this specific problem and if you have: were you able to fix it? How?
It's just really annoying :/ This used to work so well. I used
PHP:
it for EVERYTHING. Now it doesn't really work at all unless I have my phone out and unlocked
Darn, it IS actually still telling me "actually, I can't do that while the device is locked. To keep going, go ahead and unlock the device". SO yeah... still just doesn't do anything at all if the device is locked. Only way I can get it to work is to uninstall all updates... but then it it reinstall those updates whenever I tell google play to update all. If I want to avoid that I guess I just have to go install updates individually/manually?... :/ This stinks. Just want my google assistant back to how it was working before (aka actually working - while the device is locked).
