Hi all, some advice would be welcomed.
I've always been able to select 4-5 apps in the Google Play store while on my computer, select my device, and it syncs automatically with my phone right away. It hasn't been doing that tonight. I initially thought it was the wifi at my work, however upon trying it at home, the same thing happens.
The moment I open the Google Play app on my phone, the apps I selected for download on my computer immediately begin to download. Very strange! Any ideas what might be wrong?
My Nexus is 4.3 (JWR66Y), root (stock ROM). I wasn't having the issue I've been experiencing tonight even after upgrading to JWR66Y. So I'm not so sure that's the cause.
Thanks.
OK so I have a SUPER weird issue, I haven't found it anywhere on the web. A google search for my issue brought up maybe 2 people who have had this issue. So here goes. Running a Nexus 4 on stock AOSP, stock recovery, but rooted. I haven't had any issues until last night and I haven't installed anything since then, just updated Facebook I think. Whenever I'm on wifi my phone won't connect to any site except for Google services. I can google search and they will come up fine but when I click a search result it will not load the page if it isn't a google page. The only way to get back online is to turn off Wifi. WHen I disable wifi I get this weird toast message that says "Ending Session". Then everything works fine! Any ideas? I hate factory resetting especially since I have no SD card, so I wanted to ask here first. Thanks!
Sounds like you have an app that is building a VPN or acting as a proxy connection... This is an app issue and should not be coming from the operating system, this would also explain why you can't access everything. What app is doing this is the difficult one to figure out... :/
FIXED!
Figured it out. I don't know what it was but it was one of the xposed modules that I had installed. I removed xposed framework and it started working fine.
hi. i just got my NOTE 4 its model is N910F. i just made a new account on playstore and i added it and it worked just normal. after downloading 2 apps, it started giving me ERROR 491. i just searched xda and got the info where i need to remove my account and restart the device and i did it and it didnt help. the error is still there.
then i went to settings and application manager and force stop and clear cache and data or Playstore app, Play services and Framework and restarted the device and now i cant even get to the playstore. its opening but it says no connection although my phone is connected to WiFi.
can someone help me with this? i m coming back to smartphone after long time like a year and this very problem. its LITERALLY been only 1 hour i got this device. pls help thanks in advance.
That happened to me a few time when I attempted to download the free version of Hardwood Solitare. The only fix I could come up with is to kill the Play Store in the apps drawer and disable the WiFi/Mobile Data Connectivity. Then re-enable them. That worked for me.
hey guys, my problem is, that i can´t download new apps or update my apps via Google Play Store.
It goes into a loop. It downloads the App or update and when its finishes, it starts again from beginning
This happend to me after i updatet my Note 4 (SM-N910C). I installed an update with OTA.
The size of the Update was about 80 MB.
What should i guys ? I hope you can help me.
Thank you

I updated to CPB3 this week, and have experienced problems with the Play Store - getting the 'Connection Failed, Retry' Message, but only when on WiFi and only intermittently. It's very strange, as switching to Mobile Data or toggling Airplane Mode temporarily fixes it. I've tried clearing cache and data for Play Store, removing my Google account and re-adding it - but the problem persists, and it definitely only started after the recent OTA update. Only thing I haven't tried is a factory reset, but I'd rather not have to do that.

My Play Store eventually updated itself again though, so back to square one. I'm afraid I think the possible solutions at the moment are:
1) Factory reset (no guarantee this will work though - anyone willing to be the guinea pig?)
2) Wait for Play Store next version to see if that fixes it.
3) Roll back to stock 5.1.1 COJ5
4) Wait for next firmware update (Marshmallow?) to see if that fixes it.
Open to any other suggestions!
EDIT: Have also tried a different WiFi network, and changing the DNS server to Google (normally use OpenDNS). Also cleared cache in recovery mode.

Found this thread on reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/4b72v7/cant_download_from_google_play/
Seems it might just be a coincidence with the OTA, and it is a Google Play Store issue which we'll have to wait on Google to fix.
Actually, I'm still getting intermittent 'Connection Failed, Retry' in the Play Store even after uninstalling all updates and also trying version 6.1.14. I'm back to thinking the OTA update to CPB3 might be to blame for my issues. Don't want to factory reset, but I'm running out of options as my data allowance for the month on mobile data (which Play Store does work on) is fast running out!
EDIT: Just unmounted SD card and the Play Store started working again immediately! Weird :/

OK, just an update - after Unmounting and Remounting SD card, clearing cache on ALL apps, and updating to lastest Play Store, it is working normally again...for the moment... will report back if it changes :/
---------- Post added at 17:23 ---------- Previous post was at 17:04 ----------
...and problem is back. As soon as I went into Accounts, Google, and hit Sync, the Play Store stopped working again - not to mention gmail won't sync either. This problem seems to affect all Google services >:<
---------- Post added at 17:46 ---------- Previous post was at 17:23 ----------
Another update: just discovered this is affecting all Android devices in the home, including a Galaxy Tab 3 and an older phone. So NOT related to the OTA in my case. Have tried three different DNS providers, which made no difference. Guess I'm back to waiting for Google to fix this :/
Go to settings - applications.
Find Google Play.
Click on uninstall updates.
Then go to multitasking and close google play.
Open Google Play.
Download updates and apps.
Then go to settings in google play and click on update.
Then tap home button and new google play will update (if not restart phone and open GP and click update).
I had some 6.2.4? version
Now I have 6.0.5 (google have make some mistake with it).
Sorry for my English.

Thanks - done all that multiple times, now on 6.0.5 and still having the intermittent problems. Other devices I have are doing the same thing, so I can only assume it is something to do with a Google update somewhere. Just tried the Store while typing this and it's currently not working though on 6.0.5.
Try uninstall updates on Google Play services in applications (in settings).
And try wipe cache in recovery.

Done all that, thanks, see previous posts. It is happening on EVERY Android device in the house, so not just related to my Note 4. So the only options are: it's either a Google services related problem, or it is a problem with my internet connection or router.
Kinsman-UK, does it still have problem for you?
I having a similiar problem where my play store suddenly wouldn't update, and if i tired to update it, it would force closed. I have tried different versions and all the method that are listed here but still doesn't work.
Even tried restoring the factory version and it wont' load either.
Any Ideas?

Yes, I'm still having this problem - with every Android device in my home, no matter what version (KitKat, Jellybean, Lollipop), and on two different Google accounts. I have tried all the above solutions and more, with no success. My problem is as follows:
Play Store will give 'Connection Timed Out, Retry' when I try to access it over WiFi. Over mobile data I have no problem. However, the problem is intermittent - sometimes if I leave it for a while and come back, it will work over WiFi, but then 5 minutes later it will stop working again. Everything else works fine over WiFi. Accessing the store over 4G first, and then switching to WiFi seems to work *most* of the time as well.
I have come to the conclusion that it is either my router has a problem or my ISP has changed something - because nothing else has changed across all the devices. For now I'm just putting up with it for a while to see if Google resolves it somehow on their end, but eventually I will have to try a different router to eliminate that as the cause.
UPDATE: Today the Play Store seems to be working more often than not on all the Android devices in my home. We still occasionally get the 'Connection Timed Out' message, but it seems to be gradually improving. When it fails on my Note 4, toggling Flight Mode or switching momentarily to mobile data to get the Store up and running seems to do the trick. Still at a loss as to what the issue is, but seems like it's gradually 'resolving itself'. Apologies to the OP for 'hijacking' this thread, hopefully some of the solutions shared will be of help with their issue too.
EDIT: Just to confirm that as of today (next day) this issue seems to be resolved after getting an update to the Play Store to version 6.3.16.B-all [0] 2697688 (not sure if any other underlying Google Services components were also updated).
Hey Guys!
First post. Just bought Oneplus 6T 8/128 yesterday. Such a awesome device but the problem I'm facing is with Playstore. Suddenly it's not downloading anything over Wifi/4G data connection. I tried clearing the data for Playstore/Play Services. Restarted the phone even tried battery saving. None of this works. Though it works fine sometimes but most of the time it doesn't download.

You can't download any new app? I have noticed that in over one week, not one app has been updated. Every time i check, no updates which I find weird.
Not sure if we have the exact same thing, but for the last few days I also cannot download or update anything. The apps just sit in "Download Pending". Usually i have temporarily fixed it by ending the play store, wiping the storage and cache, rebooting, then letting everything reload in the play store and it will work again for a few days. Happens to me on Data/Wifi/VPN.

Yes happening same to me as well. Though it gets fixed automatically for some time but again I have the issue.
I just got a 6t and for some reason it will connect up to 5Ghz wifi but will not get any data. I can connect up to 2.4Ghz all day long and get on the internet, update everything but if i have wifi/data on connected to 5Ghz wifi - zilch - it's like it has no dns or something. I can see the connection, it gets an ip from the router but...bloop. I tried all the troubleshooting steps. (I also have a OP 6 on same os version and it has zero issues).
It sounds like a Google play services issue. I had a similar problem with my previous device and even when I got my 6tvit persisted. Had to email Google and they updated my play services info. It's sticks with you, whatever it is.
Actually now that I reread your post I think this is exactly the same issue I had.
I had the same issue when I flashed OOS international rom to my 6T T-mobile version. It was solved by relockiing the bootloader.... FYI.
