There often comes a time when you are tinkering with the latest Android apps and suddenly Google Play Store pops up annoying “No Internet connection. Make sure Wi-Fi or cellular data is turned on then try again, Retry” error message even though your WiFi/3G/LTE connection is working smoothly and all the other internet apps are running fine.
When I first experienced this problem, I had no clue what made all Google Play services including Gmail, Play Movies, Music, Magazines stop working. I tried to use different WiFi connection, VPN’s, changed DNS servers, restarted my Android phone but still no avail. Then finally, after hours of struggle I came up with solution which one would have never thought of.
How to fix Play Store “No Internet Connection, Retry” Problem:
Here’s a list of common solutions to this problem, do these steps until the error message disappears. (tried and tested on Nougat, Marshmallow and older versions of Android)
1. Fix Date and Time Settings
It works 80 percent of the time. Google Play Services sync with their master servers to send and receive data, to do this your device time and date should be correctly set. I used to change time settings to cheat extra lives on Candy Crash Saga and later that turned out to be the main culprit behind connection error issue.
- Go to Settings > Date & Time
- Check Automatic date & time
- Or alternatively, you can set time by yourself, just make sure it is correct.
2. Clear Google Play Store App Cache
Android OS keeps cache of Google Play Store items in order to quickly serve content to users and to save bandwidth at same time. Sometimes it causes issues and could be one of the reasons behind connection error. It is wise to clear cache and restart the Play Store. By doing this, not only it will resolve the issue but it will also serve you recent/fresh apps for download and purchase
- Go to Settings > Apps
- Swipe right to ALL
- Scroll down and tap Google Play Store
- Press Clear Data button and tap OK
3. Change DNS Settings of your Phone or Network Router
Sometimes ISP’s DNS servers cannot resolve domains of Google Play services. To fix that, you need switch to Google DNS servers from WiFi settings of your phone. It can also be done through your Internet Router. From your phone change the settings below given below.
Go to Settings > Select WiFi Network (Hold Tap) > Select Modify > Show Advanced Settings.
Then from IP settings drop box, change DHCP to Static and enter the details mentioned in picture below.
- DNS1 should be 8.8.8.8
- DNS2 should be 8.8.4.4
4. Change or Re-login your Google Account
If you previously changed the security settings or password of your Google account. You need to update the account settings on your Android device. Also, you can switch to other account.
- Go to Settings > Accounts > Google
- Tap your primary Google account
- Open options from right top corner, click remove account.
- Now open Play Store, it will ask you to login your Google account again.
5. Uninstall Updates
Sometimes Google Play Store updates automatically and makes changes without user permission. If the above mentioned steps don’t help you, use the “uninstall updates” option of Play Store app, it will revert to previous version and may also fix the problem.
- Go to Google Play App settings (refer to Step #2)
- Press Uninstall Updates
6. Remove any proxy or VPN software
Remove any existing proxy or VPN services and connect directly to the internet before accessing Play Store.
- Go to Wireless & Network, modify your WiFi settings, go to advanced options and remove any proxy servers.
- Disconnect any VPN connection or apps you have running in background.
7. Delete hosts file
For advanced users only. If you rooted your Android device, do the following.
- Open File Manager App.
- Browse to root/system/etc.
- Delete hosts.txt file
8. Factory Reset your Phone/Tablet
This comes as a last resort. If anything mentioned above does not work. It’s time to do a full factory reset to your phone. It will clear everything and put your device in its original condition. Make sure you back-up your contacts and files before you perform a reset, else you will lose everything.
- Go to Settings > Backup & reset
- Click Factory Data Reset
If the all the solutions don’t help, please contact your ISP if they are blocking Google IP addresses. You may also want to visit the service center of your Android phone/tablet manufacturer. If you have any tips related to this issue, post a comment.
After updating to CM10.2 I had a lot of trouble with Google account sync and apps. Found out I had to update GAPPS …. which worked fine until an update for Google Music came out and it wouldn’t update.
In ‘Manage Apps’ Stopping Google Play and clearing the cache solved the issue.
Thank you for the trouble shooting guide 🙂

thanks it work
thank you vry much sir bcoz of step 3 my playstore started working again…. THANKS
it works! thankyouu so muchh
Ohhh. Thank u sooo soo much. Its really help full 4 us.
Am having issues connecting with my google server on my samsung galaxy s. I can not access both my google play and gmail. Pls wat can I do?
Nexus 5 not rooted. Tried everything except full reset. Didn’t work. I can go to gmail in the phone’s browser with no problem – play store too. But not use the apps. In addition the chromecast app can’t see the device on my network, nor can the YouTube app, but Netflix etc can cast with no problem from the phone and all apps work on my wife’s Huawei Ascend P6 and our ipad2. I think google need to get some software engineers who know what they’re doing. If google apps don’t work on google’s flagship phone something is badly wrong. Judging by the length of time this problem has been around, it looks like they don’t care either. Sad.
it works..tqvm…
My phone/android=xiaomi mi3 wcdma/MIUI
Problem=google play works intermittent, between few different wifi-router/phone own’s data plan
Tried everything mentioned including following:
#1 flash ROM, tried developer, eu multi-lang edition
#2 rooted, delete /system/etc/hosts
#3 phone/isp setting APN
#4 various different play.store-version-xxx.apk
Nothing workings, stuck for days here. At the end, out of pure coincidence I found the culprit happens to be my router where some evil doers changed DNS setting.
If you find yourself cannot browse google/facebook and/or being prompt to install fake flash player, start looking on your router’s DNS setting. And this is not dns poisoning case…
Thank you so much. It was the date & time. I’d removed the battery for something earlier & it must’ve dislodged the time setting.
Thank youu…Nw my google play is working pretty well
i have a problem with ma play store i can’t access without a code a redeem icon pops too. i have no card on the first place to put the code.every time i try to access a no connection appears and when a tap retry nothing changes.what should i do?

Hi

Toy so much

Thanks for the solutions, works for me..
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
install latest ver of Playstore 4.8.20 and Google Play Services 4.4.52 apk’s. I used Airdroid. I had to free up space but it works.
I have a HTC Incredible S, rooted. Nothing has worked for me, so I did a “format system” from the recovery menu and worked perfectly; At least I did a backup before 😉
Someone olease give this guy a Medal 🙂
After I rooted my Android tablet, it worked faster removing the bloatware, although would start giving me proxy server errors, won’t connect, after I loaded a number of applications, especially the Play Store. I’d have to reboot to get a connection again.
Anyway, your suggestion to Clear the cache of the Play Store app did it for me. Now I can open any # of applications and not get the connection/proxy problems. (I’m not on a proxy.) Thank you.
host file solution worked for me. thanks a lot.
I was having this error on all my devices and I tried every thing even the factory reset what worket for me was
INSTALL HOTSPOT SHIELD VPN TRY OPENING PLAY STORE WITH IT IT MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT START BUT AFTER ATTEMPTING TO OPEN PLAY STORE SWITCH OFF YOU DEVICE AND POWER ON IMMEDIATELY AND OPEN PLAY STORE IT WILL WORK SMOOTH AS BUTTER
Uninstalling the updates worked for me. Thank God the error message is gone finally.
Try resetting your wifi device. It worked for me. 🙂 I tried every step written here but didn’t work, but resetting the wifi device or router worked.
Cheers

That’s why Titanium Back Up app is so important.
Just restore Google Play, Services, etc and everything is back to normal.
I tried everything on this page. What finally worked was rebooting my router. I should have thought of that sooner since I had two tablets that were having the same problem with google servers. I even did a factory reset on one of the tablets…live and learn.
Thank You very much…..it really worked on my phone…
Yes it s work. I did fact reset my len tab 3300-gv. Thanks

I googled the problem before spending a lot of time trying to fix it myself, and you saved me HOURS of frustration. Simply setting the time correctly fixed my issue immediately. I would never have thought to do that. THANK YOU!
Thanks.
I tried and checked if the above things were set on my phone. But it was alright and I had to think about another solution and this one really helped apart from all of the above :
I went into my location settings and found that my google location service was turned off. I checked the box and opened playstore again and here to the grace of Almighty, i was successful 🙂 hope this one helps those for whom the above tips didnt work . Happy downloading!
Love You Bro. You are great .
I Had this problem with my samsung S2 since I bought it and i tries every thing but after using your method I was able to get my google account linked with all apps and my playstore started working.
Thanks a LOT
Love You
The factory reset worked for me. I tried everything else mentioned and this did it! Thank you! I was lost without my games 🙂

Thanks a lot … couldn’t figure it out ,happened to me on a MIUI rom .tried everything to fix .Changed Roms and it happened again ,Tried everything on this list .Then i tried clearing hosts.txt which worked perfectly 🙂 Thanks Again!!
I have rooted my Micromax A075. So after rooting my Play store isn’t working. I tried all the above mentioned stuff but it’s not working. Any more solutions plz
Root your phone, install file explorer, go to system/etc/hosts open with text editor and simply add ‘#’ before second line.
Thank you so much, works like a bullet.
Enable IGMP on your wifi router.
It worked for me.
Thanks. It worked after commenting the IP address in host file
thanks for posting this, issue solved! You’re the best!
Great! Removing and reinstalling my Google account works. However, this fix only works temporarily. I have to do this almost every time I want to download something from the Play Store. Very annoying. Anyone knows a more sustainable solution?
Thanks!!
So guyz today ill tell u how to solve connection problem with playstore
ROOT NNEEDED
step1:first download root explorer into your phone
Step2:open it
Step 3:go to ATC option
Step4:search for host file
Step5:after that delete file host
Hope so u will try this
This is working sseriouslyNO BACKUP NEEDED
I can’t delete the hosts file because the file system id read-only, what should I do then?
man your a life saver thank you very much..
the time reseting did the work..thank you
Hi,
Thankyou very very much… I just got this andriod tv device MINIX x7 and was facing the same issue and I didn’t realize that I was using the device somewhere in the past. Changed the date and wala.
Thankyou sir,
Thanks,
option 7 worked for me.
Clearing my cache and uninstalling updates is what ruined my Google Store in the first place, I think I also might have cleared Google Play Sevices (Whoops!) Thanks for the help but it didn’t work
Unfortunately non of these worked with my LG E450. 🙁
thank you so much.step 6 worked for me
I tried it all After reseting my device i am not able to re sign in on my previous google account…Please help It says “cant recieve a reliable network” after it redirects to the wifi menu. I also tried wifi but it repeats the same….. Please Please Help..
Thank you! Very helpful tips!
Unfortunately none of the solutions work. I cannot use Google Play Store anymore, it never connects. Also I have problem with sending emails and posting pictures in Facebook and Instagram (none of this was working, I could see my feed, but never could post or send anything). What could it be? Will I have to root my cell phone?
In my router I set as firts DNS 8.8.8.8 and second 8.8.4.4 Then it wordks again. Strange that it always worked before and sudently it stops.. now with these dns nrumbers (google) it works again.
I tryed evrithing exept the last step cause it says you loose evry thing you did in the past
If you connected over WiFi check your WiFi proxy settings, ensure it is set as none unless you have intentionaly set a proxy
Go to WiFi settings long press your WiFi connection
then press modify connection
show advanced options
proxy = none
Wow!!
It worked when I jst changed the time and date The WiFi connection turned in to blue color
Thank u so much….!
thanks , such an easy solution….saved me so much grief from my kids ….wont be hearing “papa, not working!” anymore ….nice one
Thanks a ton! The deleting hosts.txt file worked wonders. It saved the effort of reinstalling all apps which would have become necessary with a hard reset.
The app which came in handy for deleting the hosts.txt file is ES Explorer.
Never thanked anyone before but ur suggestion delete hosts worked for me thank you very much
Heartly thanks to author
I had to delete host file in order to get it working
Brother i cant sign up the play store, it says username not available. pls what next will i do
thanks a lot my problem solved with the help of your artical once again thank you very much
Thanks!! This is Great!
Greetings,
I downloaded total commander. I got to the host file, unfortunately not able to edit, delete, or even rename it. In the rwx it shows that I have read/write access. The issue I am having is not only with my android 4.4.2 version, two other platforms are having connectivity issues to this game at same time. One is an iPad 4th gen up to date on iOS, and a win7 computer ALL devices/platforms accessing the game “Jungle Heat” it’s a my.com game. I do have a little technical background, and I assure you I have no connectivity issues. However I soft booted the gateway and hard booted the gateway/router, epic fail.
I have tried reaching out to the company, however the people who respond don’t seem to read all the detailed information you give them. I refuse to believe that there even qualified to be level one techs. I think they went up to a group of people and said, “you’re breathing, want a job?”
So at this point the error message that I get on all these platforms is connection error check your internet connection. There is no issue with anything connecting to the Internet, only with Jungle Heat! I tested my speed 4.8mBps, I connected to my mifi and got on jungle heat, it was slower as its rate is about 1/4th the speed! My mifi is for emergency needs, limited small package… I pay for the 16gb connection with AT&T Uverse.
My thought that perhaps there is a setting I need to do within my gateway/router to tell it to let the packets or whatever come through… But damned if I know wtf to do. I appreciate the effort you have gone through in helping so many with their issue. I’m hopin, crossing fingers, getting a witches pentagram on the floor….whatevr it takes to try and figure this out and hoping you might have the answer.
So first, I can’t edit the dang host file to any extent, tried adding the x in the rwx part, but it didn’t save. It won’t accept the command to change or rename …. How do I fix this?
Then the Hail Mary… Can you give me your thoughts on why all platforms randomly have this issue at various times, not always daily, other than lately! I think it’s a setting in the gateway that can fix this…but what?
Thanks for your time!
-Un4gtble14u
i install root explorer tick root explorer check box
and open etc folder
again open host folder in text editor
finally add # symbol before last ipaddress in that file
save and come to main screen
switch off then switch on
all clear
So guyz today ill tell u how to solve connection problem with playstore
ROOT NNEEDED
step1:first download root explorer into your phone
Step2:open it
Step 3:go to ATC option

I needed to use factory reset
Now I have wasted 10£ Google play
Now I have no apps
Anyway I posted this before I did factory reset
The factory reset works
@Justin can you add this also.
I tried all of above and i had a totally weird problem. I checked logcat and found out that the error is related to build.prop
“CheckinTask: Checkin failed: https://android.clients.google.com/checkin (request #0): java.io.IOException: Rejected response from server: HTTP/1.1 400 invalid hardware identifier: “Lenovo A5000″ is not a valid device”
I edited build.prop line as follows and it works fine.
ro.product.device=A5000
info link: http://forums.androidcentral.com/android-4-4-kitkat/542003-why-google-play-store-can-not-connect-internet-device-model-has-space.html
Thank so much the process worked for me too…great
Thanks buddy. I had tried almost everything. The trick about deleting hosts.txt did the trick for me. Much love buddy ?
Thanks,
My problem was server error code DF-DFERH-01, having worked through the list the one that worked for me was deleting my main google account, opening Play Store and re-signing into my existing account. I then had a deluge of updates which I had obviously not been receiving for some time. Once again, many thanks.
I almost die!! Thank you. Super thank you! Whoever you are, you’re clever! ?
Thank you!!!!!! You resolved my problem in 2 seconds 🙂

I bet you can’t fix my problem is that, I rooted my phone. Then I used lucky patcher and patched on Play Store. Then my Play Store stopped working. By showing THERE WAS A PROBLEM COMMUNICATING WITH GOOGLE SERVERS. Then I deleted Play Store. And then I lost Play Store. So I done FACTORY RESET to get it back. But after the process I completely lost it. Still doing so much research I could not solve my problem. MOTO G2 is my device.
Clearing play store cache worked for me.

Very good and genuine article.i was able to solve DNS error in my dad’s phone with help of ur article..Thks a lot…
None of the solutions worked. Some apps download OK others don’t and show the “no internet…” warning. But I’ve noticed that the ones that don’t work are only those I had on my previous stolen phone. Those I never owned are the ones OK to download!
Thank you so much point 5 worked for me ..uninstall updates !
It asked something like factory something n I clicked it and it got back to older version of playstore. N it worked
THANK YOU! VERY USEFUL INFORMATION!
Thank you, step 3 works for me
After applying all the suggested fixes the author supplied I was about to do the factory reset he suggested as a final option. I suddenly had an incling that the problem may also revolve around Play Store itself. I decided to reload Play Store and was able to download Whatsapp from there.
On my Toshiba AT100 host file is read only. Nothing of thise works.
Thanks a million. Was wondering why this happened to me after I changed my home router to a mesh WiFi system (orbi by netgear). Chanced upon your article and changed my DNS setting to static from DHCP as recommended and my play store is back up again. Great fix!
step 5 worked for my 2012 phone, seems play store is not fully retro-compatible with old devices, pity. couldnt imagine what would happen to the car industry if they did the same with gasoline xD
Nothing works, Google play Store is purely shit, made by the feets and Google is a thief
I’d been struggled for hours after checked the “Automatic date and time” in the Date and time setting, it worked! Thank you very much!!!
greate- instantly solved my connection problem.
Thank you vey much

Step-4 worked.Thanks bruh !
Thanks for your solution and now I can open play store again and but once again why my e-mail can’t log in on every mail client such as gmail and before experiencing this issue, I can open e-mail and I don’t know how to check my mail again from my phone. Would you fix my problem? Thanks
Step 3 worked. Thanks.
This isn’t specifically related to the post, but I’m having issues with certain apps not accessible over Wifi on my Android Device. All other devices in our house have no problem accessing. But it’s Microsoft Apps, part of Twitter (can see tweets, can’t send Tweets or Direct Messages), Pinterest, my banking apps and a couple other random apps. Other apps, including a couple other Social Media apps, Facebook and Instagram I can connect to fine. But I’ve tried a lot of different things, resetting my modem/router, ISP says everything looks good from their end. I’ve also reset my phone. This is my 2nd Android device this has happened with. I know it’s something with the ISP because with my other Android devices and previous ISP, I never had these troubles.
step 3 solve my prob
Solved my problem, at the DNS fix… Thank You!! 🙂
Thanks my problem is solved by changing time format.In my date and time settings 24 hour format is off ,but the phone is working on 24 hour format.so that was my problem and i cleared it.thank u very much.
