Bro, are you rooted. Did you try any license patching apps in your phone.

No and no

Reflash.

Done that

Contact Google then.

Still not working, Even after a reflash? Have other apps got a connection?

I had the same issue, I don't know if it's the best solution but I've deleted hosts file in system/etc folder and it fixed the issue

I agree

I had the same issue with mine on T-Mobile. The solution was to update the "Internet settings" in Settings->More... I can only assume that updates the APN, etc.

Play store

I accidentally uninstalled play store and when I downloaded apk and opened it up it force closed. Can't get to open up. Can somebody help me with this problem. I was messing with it because I couldn't update apps. It would say waiting for network and didn't do anything. I had 4g signal very good and strong.

wait so do you still have the play store app? if so just in app management delete the cache and reset the app.
you need to elaborate a bit more on that post as in i'm not really following everything your saying.
if you are not on a stock rom, i.e. using an AOSP AOKP or CM rom, then just flash the gapps file again. I'd post a link but since I don't know which rom you're on I am not sure which one you need. There is a separate one for GB or ICS.... if you are on a stock rooted rom then just open the zip file for the rom you downloaded and copy the .apk from it to your rom. should be located in the folder /system/app/.
Hope that helps, good luck.
Not on any rom just plain stock. And I don't have play store app period on my phone except for when I googled an apk to download. It doesn't give me an option to clear cache. Just uninstall and force close.

You don't have anything like this under app managements

No I do not have that under app management.

so clear this for me, you DON'T have google play store at all in app management? or if you do and just cant do anything with it at all.
If you DON'T have the Google Play Store here you go
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28367656&postcount=12
install that.
I downloaded the apk from link you gave me and I opened it and it let me in but when I went to update one of my apps it stopped working unexpectedly force close. Same thing its been doing since I first installed the play store.

don't just try to install the apk, but make sure you copy it to the system/ apps folder. After that you should probably also reboot to recovery and wipe cache and the dalvik cache , then google play will be hopefully working when you reboot.
Because you don't have the play store , you can dance install the amazon app store from the amazon web page on your phone to work around getting a file manager.
Try using a free app like es file explorer.

an important question, is your phone rooted? If not go to you wherever you said you were able to get to uninstall the place store before. Uninstall it cross your fingers, and reboot.

Yes the answer is to use 3g or wifi.. sprint is having trouble connecting to google play maket over wimax... there is actually a statement from sprint in a thread somewhere where they explain it... can't remember where it was or id link it... just use 3g or wifi for now....
Lol, I tried that.

Ad-free android doesn't work after JB update?

I installed the new root66 JB and it seems that ad-free android doesn't actually block ads anymore. It says my host file is up to date, and and I restarted but I still get ads in places that I didn't get before the update. Xda, Pandora, ect. Is anyone else having this problem?

I just had to go and find Ad Free again and install it. Cannot find it on google anymore, had to use dogpile. This app just disappeared from my tablet, I think google playstore had something to do with that. Now that it is reinstalled and working, is there anyway to protect this app from google trying to purge it again? Like with Titanium Backup or something? Thanks.
Google didn't purge it. Well they did, but only from their store.

Why not use what everyone else uses to remove ads, here is the link for "Adaway.apk" and it works just as well on JB or
any other versions of roms.
Here is the direct download link: http://www48.zippyshare.com/v/60362249/file.html
The play store no longer supports any add-blocking apps that's why you will not find it there.
Good Luck!

Google Wallet no longer working on .244

Working with Tap and Pay on XZL 6506 with .244
Update:
Although Tap and Pay gets setup and Wallet shows it.
NFC is not initiated at pay stations.
If I go back to my 4.1.2 ROM, same new Wallet starts working with NFC payments.

Actually I was playing with it, Google Wallet does work on .267 BUT tap to pay doesn't, you still need to have the build.prop changes done in order for this to work.
Please check yours and confirm ..
Thanks.

Just open your Google wallet app, if the TAP and PAY option isn't there, it's not enabled and thus not working.
This option went away when I went back to the Sony C6506 build.prop, then came back when I re-added the Nexus build.prop
No joy, it isn't working.. Tested it at a McDonald's and CVS, the card reader doesn't pick up the phones NFC..

Rename to .so (from .txt) drop into /system/lib/ and edit permissions. I also have one in the same place with fixed permissions as a .txt cause I'm crazy lazy, didn't seem to hurt it. Lol.
To change permissions u have to be rooted I believe dont u?

Get “OK Google” on any launcher, on any screen!!!

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/get-ok-google-functionality-on-every-screen-without-root/
found this article and wanted to share with those who don't know about it..This fix was originally found by Redditor xStreame, and it was then expanded upon and reposted by pr01etar1at:
Open Google Now
Search for “OK Google everywhere”
Click any link [may be unnecessary but I did it]
Back out to Google Now
Go to Settings>Voice
Audio History and Anywhere Detection should now be available as settings.
