[Solved] Play Store Connection timed out

[Solved]

Hi,
I get "Connection timed out" when trying to access Play Store.
Using the latest gapps (29-4-2012)
Calendar is synced properly but GMail was not installed also can't sign in to Gtalk.
I can access the web play store but I don't get the install on my tab.

Already tried:
- XDA + Google search - didn't find a solution.
- flashing AOKP and CM9 P4 (9-6-2012)
- data/cach/devlik wipe
- Play store clear cache and data
- Installing an older version of "Play Store"
- Installing a version of Android Market (didn't work at all)

Please Help, Thanks !

p.s. the store is working when i go back to the ROM I got from my carrier.

Update:
I managed to connect to GTalk but no luck with the Store

I got a theory:
maybe my provider changed the device name (I had problem with that when I flushed).
Than i connected using that device name.
and now I can't access the Store because the device name doesn't match?

Just a theory - i really don't know much about it...

Can you try this:
Open play store, go to your application '' downloaded '' , click on one of the free application, uninstall then install again.

Hi, after many tries it eventually started working (using the SIM connection).
I trying different networks so I don't think it had something to do with my router, but maybe something with the device wifi (maybe wifi security?).
Anyway - it's now (randomly) solved.
thanks.

Using apps like "Freedom" has a lot of downsides, and yes, this is one of them...

Concider to purchase apps

Happy smartphoning!

Dude, it's just a silly problem
Happens when you bypass Google billing service using some apps like Lucky Patcher or Freedom
Its damn easy when you have got an rooted device
1.Just download Adaway and let it build up the host file....
-- Or there is an alternative solution to it...!
2.Delete the host.text file in etc folder which you can access in ES File explorer or the Root browser by Jrummy apps..
Automatically Google Play Store detects the missing host file and it will build up once again
