P.S. All my accounts are synced including my gmail. And dont wanna factory reset either.

I just solved my problem! Since I'm running a newly installed ROM, I wondered if my APN settings were correct (you would think so, since I could browse the net over data). Anyway, I went into the APN settings, and there were several 2Degrees APNs configured. I changed my default from "2degrees mobile" to "2degrees internet", and now Google Play works over data!

Having same problem.

Using Neatrom 3.5 on my S2.

In UK with Giffgaff.

Cant access Play store over 3G/HSPDA+ , But over WiFi its fine.

Tried all the tricks - clear cache, sign in out, reset time, reset phone and reinstalled ROM

If i access play store over WiFi first (then turn WiFi off), then i can at least continue to access/browse it over 3G/HSPDA+, but i can only make new purchases over WiFi and never over Cell data.

Something weird going on

To solve the problem one thing i did was to go to Google Services Framework and clear data, reboot, clear play store data reboot and it should work.

Managed to fix my problem.

I tried all the clearing data/caches, relogging in etc etc and none of that worked.

After reading onlyonejoefish post about his carriers APN settings, it got me thinking.

As i'm in the Uk with GiffGaff i was getting my APN settings from texting "settings" to "2020" and a configuration message came back with them in - and that is what i'd been using.

However i downloaded an app to delete all my phones APN's, then manually inputted my APN settings myself.

This solved my problem, i can now access the play store over cell data :)

Do this and then this, noting accounts.db has moved to /data/system/users/0/ on Android 4.2. Note: This removes all your accounts from Android not just your Google account, but having to re-add them is a small price to pay for a working Google Play.

After this happened again, I tried an alternative to removing accounts.db which worked well. I created another Google account then went to

menu => Accounts

In Google Play and added my new Google account. Then I switched back to the original account. To clean up I went to

Settings app => Accounts => Google

Selected the new account then selected "Remove account" from the menu button.
