Google play problem

I solved this problem by adding # in front (from xda page advice), in the host file, just wondering which is better, this or the one I did? What difference does it make?

Thank you

My Google play store died this morning.

Tried clearing cache + data of Play store, services, framework. Editing hosts file, only 127.0.0.1 Localhost is there.

Cleaning cache and dalvik cache.

Nothing helps. I am going insane with this now.

HTC Evo 3d in question.

On an LG G2. Still have this since a few days ago. Using Mobile data and VPN will make it work but normal wifi usage is still not possible.

I wouldn't mind it if it didn't stop other apps from working properly.

Hey, try uninstalling lucky patcher and freedom before flashing any rom.

I'm not sure though it may help!!!

And report thereafter!!!

Do you mean install or uninstall? I don't have lucky patcher, but I have a VPN app 'Gom' so I'll try running Google play with gom running, then after uninstalling it and report back :)

The easiest way to fix this problem is:

1. Install again the freedom app

2. After installing it, open it

3. At the upper right tap the button and then choose "STOP"

4. And now exit the program and you can now uninstall it

Thank you for your suggestions. Unfortunately, I cannot edit or delete the hosts file with Total Commander or ES Explorer (cannot enable root explorer on the menu).

I am supposed to have the Nexus 7 rooted, but when I run SuperSU it says "The Su binary needs to be updated", and then "Installation failed! Please reboot and try again". Rebooting makes no difference

I cannot access Google Play Store since CyanogenMod was upgraded to 12.1-20151117-SNAPSHOT-YOG7DA01K9-flo

I have already tried all this:

•	Check that time, date and time zone are correct

•	Turning airplane mode on then off again

•	Clear data & cache from Google Play Store & Google Play Services

•	Remove Google Play Store & Google Play Services and reinstall from .apk

•	Delete WiFi connections and create again

Any other recommendation?

You may try this before reflashing rom. You may uninstall playstore if you have a rooted device. Try System Tuner. Search the .apk for this software over the internet and install.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shivaji666:
hey guys i used this method and it worked for me!!

You will be needing THE APP--->ROOT EXPLORER .Then follow the methods:--->

1) First, you need to set the File system to Mount r/w and then navigate from root to system/ etc.

2)Find out the host File (no extension) there and modify it after keeping a backup of this file.

3) Launch the host file then in Text editor.

4)There will be two IP addresses. Add # in the second IP address which will look like- #127.47.231.138 android.clients.Google.com mtalk.google.com

5)Save it and restart your phone. The process is completed:):)

just download hosts editor app then open it

it will show you the hosts addresses that saved in your phone/tablet

just delete any host address that belongs to google, then the app will ask about root access

just allow the request then go to settings > App manager > google play store then clear data

it must work
