Hello!
I currently live in Beijing and just recently purchased a ZTE U795. It's a formidable phone, and quite cheap too.
I've gotten everything to work well, found a ROM on some Chinese site and managed to install it. The only problem is that I can't get the market to work, or Google Play for that matter. I thought perhaps that through a VPN I could manage to connect but VPN doesn't work.
Really I have two questions, is there a replacement to the built-in VPN system, is there some sort of app that can replace the default VPN system?
Or, is there some sort of work around to not being able to use Google Play on Chinese Androids?
What I've tried:
Modded Market
Market Enabler
Google Play + Google Frameworks + Google Account Settings (This got me the closest, I started putting my e-mail in, but it just wouldn't connect)
Market
What happens when I open Play Store:
Unfortunately Google Play Store has stopped.
Apart from that, if anybody is interested about the phone, don't hesitate to ask!
Now, you guys probably have seen a few of these threads from the past but hear me out:
I rooted my Verizon Galaxy S4 today with this method, and it successfully rooted my phone. But when I tried launching Google Play/related apps or Gmail, and I'm on my wifi (I don't know if this is just mine, or if it will not work over any wifi, cannot test yet), I either get Server Error or No Connection. Also, notifications say that my connection is unstable despite the fact that it wasn't before root. I narrowed down the Server Error to Adblock Plus, but I get No Connection on my wifi with it disabled. It worked fine before root even with Adblock Plus, but now it's being weird after. I've tried MarketEnabler, clearing the Google Servives Framework and Google Play data/cache, unlinking my Google account, reinstalling Google Play, etc. But all to no avail. Reflashing gapps is not an option because I do not have a custom recovery because of a locked bootloader. So what else could I possibly do to fix the issue? I don't want to have to download all my apps with data because that could rack up huge charges for big apps. I also do not want to have to unroot or restore factory defaults. I haven't touched any apps (besides freezing TouchWiz Home, because I use a different launcher, and Knox Notification Manager in Ti, which shouldn't even affect Google Play or Gmail). So, yeah. That's my issue.
May be a silly question, but have you tried restarting your s4? I have gotten those errors before and a restart helped. I'm on mj7 stock rooted from old and slow and I get the wifi connection unstable when I'm close to out of range.

Every time I tried clearing a cache I have. In fact, I just rebooted as I am writing this post. Still didn't work.
Dang I was hoping I had helped..maybe someone else can point you in better direction..but if I run across solution I'll post it here for you

That's not something that anyone has reported. I'm assuming that you've removed Adblock Plus (however, that shouldn't have any impact here.)
It's strange that the Wifi problem only happens with Gmail and Google Play.
What I'd suggest is to uninstall the Google Play updates, then reboot. That'll start you with a known good Google Play app. Then, reinstall the updates using Google Play.

I actually have had a few of the same issues and internet apps frequently freeze and crash too. I uninstalled Adblock Plus and it fixed the problem for the most part.

No, I have not removed Adblock Plus. Just turned it off when testing. Uninstalled updates for Google play, it factory-restored to 4.3.11, issue still occurs. Google Play updated, issue persists.
I just found out what the problem was. I had Adblock Plus before root, and had custom network configs. Turns out, since ABP was no longer routing the connections, certain apps couldn't connect. I got rid of the configs, and started Google Play, and BAM it connected. So, I fixed the problem.
Hi everyone!
I am really new to this forum and is looking for a solution to the problem I have encountered on Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9500) yesterday.
Day before yesterday when I purchased my phone, I updated it using KIES (Firmware XXUBMG9 to XXUEMJ5) (Android Version 4.2.2 to 4.3).
Everything was working PERFECTLY before the update like Google Play and I have downloaded Instagram, Facebook & Messenger, WhatsApp and Yahoo Mail ONLY using same ID same WiFi.
The update process took 2 hours and after the update the Google Play started giving me error "Retry - Connection Error". I tried everything like uninstalling the Google Play updates, clearing cache, resetting the phone, removing and entering the Gmail ID but nothing worked.
After I reset the phone, when the phone ask for the Gmail ID it was giving me error and was not signing me. I signed in using data and it worked, I opened Google Play with data its opening. I don't know whats wrong with my phone I am really tensed SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME :'(
I also tried getting apps by signing in on Google Play from laptop and on phone it saying cannot download when the phone is connected with WiFi. When I turn off the WiFi connection and turn on data and then send request from laptop using Google Play the phone starts downloading app and when I switch to WiFi on phone during download it DOES COMPLETE the download without any error.
Few hour back, I installed the VPN and then tried opening Google Play, it opened and working fine and downloading apps but I don't know why its not downloading or opening Google Play on without VPN even though Play Store is opening on my laptop without VPN.
SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME! I wanna get back to 4.2 :'( I don't wanna root the phone I want everything back or this thing to work :'( PLEASE HELP ME I CHECK TIME SETTINGS TOO BUT NOTHING IS WORKING!
THANKS :'(

U can't go back to 4.2. There's Knox messing with u. Once you're on 4.3, there's no downgrading. U could root (and void your warranty) and flash GApps. It could solve your problem.
Smack that thanks button If I helped!

If you're still receiving the same problem, I suggest you either contact your provider or it could just be a WIFI error. What VPN are you using?

I am still receiving problem and its same. I checked my internet provider by using other apps and browser everything is working perfectly except Playstore. And about VPN I got [play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vpnoneclick.android][/url] and its working and with this I can open Playstore without any connection problem. I also used HotSpot it is also working and I can use Playstore smoothly.

Check if u have Google Service Framework installed. If no, root and flash GApps. (Try not to trip Knox for warranty's sake.) If yes... hmm lemme think bout it.

Hey there guys,
So. I recently rooted my s6 edge with the method show on the website highonandroid.com Everything was going fine and dandy. I had a little trouble with downloading and installing the USB Driver (For some reason I didn't have permission from the administrator) My account is administrator. But, got Odin opened up and got a green pass like the video shows. I go ahead and download titanium backup because it is recommended everywhere hah. I wanted to start using Tor. In which you must download Orwall, Orbot, and Orweb to do so in mobile. Well, Orbot and Orweb are in the play store but Orwall is not. I had to download an .apk file to get orwall. There were also links for apks for Orbot and Orweb as well, but just downloaded it from the play store. After that, my internet connection crashed. I did try to run Orwall and Orbot, it connected and what not. But then when I tried to use Orweb, it started. I'm really hoping downloading that apk didn't do anything, and I really just want to get my internet up again.
I've tried rebooting, the router, even tried at a friends house with their router and nothing.
I hope this makes sense to some of you guys. I'm sure it will. This is XDA. I'm also sorry if this isn't where I should post this. It just said post questions here.
Thanks in advance
Hi! I have come here with a lot of hopes. I hope u guys will help me out.
My tab Samsung Galaxy tab E 9.6 (SMT560) running android 4.4.4 landed in a problem with google play store and its services. I received my tab from UK Two years ago. It is now rooted. I stay in Bangladesh. 4 hours ago, I observed an unusual activity from my play store and its service. I had strong WiFi signal and a 6mbps broadband connection. Even then my play store said I am not connected to the internet whereas I had a strong WiFi signal!!!! Then I downloaded an apk file of play store from apkpure.com and observed that my play store got cracked and it corrupted my play service too. ???
I suspect that the game hacking app freedom had corrupted it. I can't even log in to my gmail account on my tab even after formatting it!!!
I would be grateful to the one who will kindly help me. Well not forgetting to mention that if the fixing solution have to rely on a PC, I m sorry to inform that my PC's power supply is dead. My parents won't give me the power supply until my O levels at 2020..
But still give me the solution.
Install an App Named Root Explorer from any Source.
Open it grant Root access.
Go to System and then Etc and Look for a File named hosts
Delete it.
Reboot
Delete root explorer app and if you liked it buy from official Google play store to Help the Devolper stay Motivated.
Don't pirate Things.
If it does not solve you issue clear Store's data and Reboot.
Do it after using Freedom every time.
