Play store problem - connection timed out - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Stock rom not rooted or anything
In the UK on 3's ultrafast network
Been getting the message all evening and dosent seem to make any difference if im on my home wifi or mobile network
If i go to the categories it seems to load those fine, just seems to be when i try to search for an app - all i get is 'connection timed out'
Anyone any ideas?
thanks

I think it's a play store issue. The same thing is happening to me.

At least its not just me then
Funny how it seems to load all the categories ok though but just will not let you search for an app
Seems ok also if you go to paid/free apps section select an app and you can download and install from there fine, just no search
Also seems a little slow to load anything to me also

I've got the same issue on my nexus 4

Just tried to search the playstore from my computer and download the app to my phone that way but same problem there also.
Hope they get it sorted quite soon.

Same issue here today... but as I just installed a fresh rom, I was thinking it was something i did. I've reinstalled GAPPS and cleared cache... didnt work.

Yea, don't have a nexus 5, but i had to share. I just re-rooted my s3 like 30 min ago....and this happened, and I was like "F*CK" what did I do wrong

Happening to me on my 2012 stock nonrooted Nexus 7 and my S-Off but stock Verizon HTC ONE on both 4g lte and wifi. Seems to be a problem with google's servers.

Same here time out error

Same on my xperia play. Definitely a play store issue

What is this MTS app?

I just noticed a Russian apparently that is installed on my phone and wants to update! And will not let me uninstall it... according to the comments this problem is just happening on sgsII devices. Can anyone else confirm this has happened to their phone, and how we can remove it and what is it?

It should have been app not apparently

It's MALWARE: DO NOT UPDATE!!!!
Apparently it's a problem with Google Play, not this rom (stock roms are seeing it too).
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=24056354&postcount=463 on how to get rid of it.

that doesn't seem to work because as soon as Google play store updates again it comes right back.
Weird, I haven't seen it at all on my phone, but a lot of people have mentioned it here today...
I have it in my list of apps...

I tried the steps from the post... It didn't work for me. once the market updates to the play store it says I have an update for what ever this Russian app is! I reported it but I'd really like to know how to remove this from my device.

I did it again for good measure.. it was still there. I reported it. just checked a few minutes ago and it was gone from my updates. Checked my installed apps. It wasn't there (to be safe). I think Google knocked it out! Try reporting it as a security risk for data and see what happens in like 30 minutes.
(while its there I'd make sure auto update is off!)

It's been always working for me, except occasional issues specifically related to CM10. (Netflix tends to be the worst-case stress test for AOSP firmwares.)
There was one case where it would just crash on startup - clearing data fixed that.
Mine is working, even after accidentily updating. From what i've read, i won't update on my sgs3 because it takes away LTE/4G viewing and you can now only view in wifi mode. If this is incorrect please someone correct me.
It used to work very well, however lately I can open the app, search for the show i wanna watch, but when I touch it to select it, it just sits there, doing nothing. The app doesn't freeze, as I can back out of the search, but it just doesn't let me load the seasons/episodes.

I actually had this happen on my gray version. I quit the application (force close if i had to) and restarted. When netflix started it would be in portrait mode, but then it would play in landscape

Cache cleaned, removed and reinstalled updates, nothing helps. It was fine until the 9/6 update. Great.
Mine works fine too... maybe its time to factory reset if the problem persist and hope it fixes it.

Thanks, but no. I'd rather live without search until they do the next update.
Hi guys,
I totally forgot about "Delete Data" option ... relogged in and everything works lovely! thanks.

open Netflix after the update, and go into settings to uncheck the option for "Wifi only"
Oddly enough, Netflix won't let me search/watch sons of anarchy. Every other search seems fine. Not sure what that's about...

Widget Apps for 4.2 Lockscreen

So now that 4.2 has rolled out I decided to make a thread about good widget apps that work on the new Android 4.2 Lock screen. Feel free to contribute to it.
My share
*DashClock
-This is what the 4.2 lock screen should be. Shows you're unread messages, phone calls, email, and even weather. And more to come. Also...it's OPEN SOURCE. So a lot of extensions are being added.
*Beautiful Widgets/HD Widgets
-Good weather widgets, look very clean and highly customizable.
Sent from my Skyrocket using XDA Premium
Are you looking for widgets that will work or just ones that people like? Because I do believe, any widget can be added to the lockscreen.
Edit: Thanks for the DashClock suggestion. Looks good. :good:

The Playstore
Sent from my Skyrocket using XDA Premium
Is anyone else not able to install dashclock? I'm running the 2/13 CM 10.1 nightly, but it doesn't show up in my store searches and the play store website show my device as incompatible. Works great on my Nexus 10.
Just recently, Falcon Pro for twitter has just been added as an extension into DashClock.

Nope, tried on computer and phone using the website, and the app on the phone. On the website my phone is greyed out as an option. And in the app the search results are empty. But thanks.
Odd.

That usually happens when you change the DPI or due to market region settings.

I haven't knowingly modified either, but will go through the settings to double check. I went from stock -> CM10 -> CM10.1. I'm in the US, and haven't connected with the phone from overseas, so the store should be set to US. Thanks for the suggestion.

That helped a bit. I cleared the data and cache & rebooted the phone. Now it shows up in my search results, which it did not before, but says "Your device isn't compatible with this version."
I checked and my DPI is still set to the default of 240. I never attempted to change the store region or used the phone outside of the US. That combined with the resetting of the market data I assumes means it's set correctly. I didn't see a quick way to determine what region it thinks it is, other than it's showing prices in US dollars.

You could try flashing the ROM & gapps again. You shouldn't need to wipe if it's the same ROM and shouldn't lose any data. That should reset everything. PM me if you have any further questions.
I updated to the 2/16 nightly and cleared the market cache and data, lo' and behold it installed.
However, as luck would have it, the Exchange profile my company requires prevents lock screen widgets. I hadn't tried one till I saw Dash Clock.
Ah well. I'll continue using it on my tablet. Thanks for the suggestions.

Is this a custom rom or stock rom? If it's a custom rom, I suggest you try flashing a different one to see if the problem persists

yeah I'm at home, it's only with my Wi-Fi. my friend who came over yesterday and also uses snapchat said it didn't refresh their feed either. I tried using a vpn on my phone to see if it works, and it did, so Idk what's going on with my Wi-Fi/ip/whatever :/
Try the usual reboot router, update firmware if possible. You could also try selecting 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz in your phone's advanced WiFi settings.

yeah everything works perfectly, it's only snapchat that's acting weirdly on my wifi
Me too
For the record, I am having this exact same problem. I have a Nexus 4 running an unrooted stock ROM.
i have this too
Hi guys. Im just wondering if any of you have a solution to this. I have the exact same problem. I actually reset my modem/router and snapchat worked for a couple minutes until it stopped again. Somethings is really weird.
Thanks for reply.
HTML:
In my case, the snapchat stoped working after I downloaded an app called Savemysnaps. Apparently, snapchat now blocks my IP adress. I just installed an app Hotspot shield VPN and snapchat works again on my wifi

Can't connect to google while on 4G

Having a little trouble accessing google servers while on 4G. I went and tested the nV m8 rom, which worked good. But now when I attempt to completely wipe my device and try another rom for some reason when I get to the part to log into my google account it just hangs there. The only way to get it to connect is while I am on wifi. But as soon as I disconnect the wifi I can no longer access my gmail or the play store. I tried wiping everything even data but it still doing this, is there something I need to do to get this working again? Or better yet has anybody ever heard of this problem before?
Apparently google is having issues

Im hoping it is just google that is having problems. I tried it with my other 2 gmail accounts and still the same problem it just hangs until I put my wifi on and then it connects no problem.
