Hello. As I mentioned in the title, I have an orange wifi and mobile connection icon for a few days. Sometimes it turns back white, but the issues are still there. Internet works, but Google Play Store says "No connection" or connects and gets stuck at "Downloading" app (downloading new app or even updating current app). Also, some apps have trouble connecting, some of them (i.e. Google Chrome, Skype, Facebook) work perfectly with no issues.
I tried:
-Rebooting many times. Rebooting to safe mode - same issue.
-Stopping app & deleting cache and data from: Google Play, Google Play Services, Download Manager, Google Services Framework.
-Uninstalling all updates from Google Play Store. After that, it did not update itself.
-Checking hosts file - everything is ok.
-Removing and adding my Google account.
-Restarting the router.
-Booting into recovery and wiping Dalvik, Cache.
These issues have never happened before. I think it's something with google apps/services, but none of the above fixed it.
I have Samsung Galaxy S3 mini running CM 11 (Kitkat 4.4), rooted. (It worked for a long time without any issues)
Anyone has any ideas? Have you encountered this problem before? I don't want to do the factory reset, but I think it's the only option.

I have an Evo 3D.
This is driving me nuts, I seem to be unable to download app updates anymore. It attempts to download forever, the progress staying at zero, and eventually gives me error 495.
I tried Googling this, and attempted every solution I could find. I tried signing in and out of my google account, clearing the cache of ALL my apps, rebooting my phone, turning off my WiFi, and clearing more space. Nothing worked.
It appears there's something wrong with the Google Play service, I can't download any apps when connected to Wifi, and there are others having the same issue.
I have had this issue for a long time now. I just used to decide that I'll wait till i get home and download over WiFi (which worked).
But that's not a solution!!!
On my JellyBean One X:
1. Go to Settings
2. In Wireless and Networks, tap on More
3. Select Usage
4. Tap on Menu in top-right corner and make sure Restrict background data is not ticked
5. Also, uncheck Limit mobile data usage (a message appears saying that all background data restrictions will be disabled).
It is the background data restriction that causes this issue (atleast for me).
I had done the whole shabang:
Clear google play cache, data, etc. re-login with Google account, reboot, etc.
I figured I'd post a trick I've found to get the Wi-Fi / Data icon blue again if it's sticking on gray.
Everything I've read says the phone has to have a connection to Google Play Services servers for it to turn blue. The only causes I can come up with would be ad blockers, DNS issues or firewall issues.
But thinking about it I also thought more about the Play Services thing. So the first thing I tried was going into Settings/Apps/all & clearing the data on both Google Play Services & the Play Store and also uninstalling their updates if there are any on either.
The effect of clearing data on the Play Store is you'll get the agreement prompt again which is no big deal and the Play Store seems to update itself back to the latest version within a minute or so.
Last resorts- if you have any of the blocking apps see if they're causing it by uninstalling & a reboot.
Finally, troubleshoot DNS
Hopefully the first 2 options fix it. It isn't a big deal if your connectivity works but if if it's a concern that's how I fix it now.
I figured I'd pass it on
So a little bit ago I went to the play store to download an app and it cannot connect it says "no connection" and a button with "retry" on it the normal error you get when you don't have an internet connection. so i go check all my network settings and everything was working even the browser would load page really fast still no google play. So now I have no idea why this is going on.
Here a list of the things I've tried:
Wipe Cache and data of play store and google play services
reboot
reconnect to wifi and data (cycled airplane mode and manually disabled data and wifi)
also i have forgoten my wifi network and retried to connect
wipe chache and divaik cahce from recoveryI(probably wouldnt make a diffrence but was on list of things to do as phone is verry lagy
I cant fiqure out what wrong and what even wierder is if i try and search in the play store a list of drop down results would pop up and that would only happen if wifi was connected.
Firstly. GOOGLE IS YOUR FRIEND FOR THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!!! But just reflash your gapps package from recovery and wipe that caches again too

I am having Micromax Canvas Juice A77 with original JB 4.2.2 onboard (not rooted).
Since 3-4 days my wifi is behaving strangely.......whenever connected...it immediately turns to grey but I am able to browse or use all application except Google apps like play store...
I tried to try following tips/directions posted in the forum but none it worked for me.
1. clear cache of all google apps.
2. clear wifi and re-connect
3. put phone on Flight mode for 1-5 mins and turn to normal profile
4. deleted/uninstalled all apps from unknown source (downloaded from other places than play store)

Tried to set location sharing on even with GPS but still problem is same...grey wifi with no support to play store which says 'No connection Retry'
Please help me out...
Hi folks. Havin an issue with my VZW S4. When i go into an app that uses gps (ie ingress) the gps won't initiate. if i toggle it on and off it turns on and locks immediately. Its done this 3 times now in the past few weeks, i've factory reset twice which fixes it and it just did it again. I've cleared data on ingress, maps and google search, trying to think of anything that uses location. i'm getting tired of setting up my phone again, any ideas? Thanks.
So figured out the issue. Its something with google play services. I went into the location menu and guess i just never noticed that google play services was down in the list of recent apps to use location. When the gps issue starts, if i go in and clear data on google play services, the gps kicks back in in a second or two. So not sure why, but thats the app thats causing it. At least i don't have to do a factory reset anymore when it happens. sigh.
Was this stock Rom, or custom Rom?
