Google Play is not opening on my new Micromax Funbook. It says ''connection timeout'' whenever I tried to open it. Other application like google map, google talk and youtube running absolutely fine, no problem whats-so ever. When I first open the google play, I set the existing gmail a/c and it login it successfully but after that it says that error. I am using internet over wifi with BSNL broadband.

I tried this method to clean data and cache of Google play and download manager. But success. Someone suggested me to check the port of google play i.e. Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228). But how to check that?? I am fresh noob when it comes to Android :-o ...
I need expert suggestion. Please help me :cry:
If your application has stalled at "Starting download", please use the following troubleshooting steps to help complete your download:

Confirm that your device is on the list of supported devices, which means it's supported for use with the Google Play Store app. If your device is not on this list, please contact your manufacturer with questions.
For paid applications, confirm your credit card information is up to date by signing in to your Google Wallet account.
Cancel and restart the download.
Restart your phone, then try downloading the app again.
Confirm there is connectivity to either wireless or cellular networks on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected.
Try your download(s) using both wireless and cellular network connections, and ensure firewalls aren’t blocking access to ports required for Google Play (TCP and UDP 5228).
Make sure you've cleared the cache and data of both the Google Play Store app and the Download manager. Here's how:
Visit Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage applications
Tab over to "All"
Select the Google Play Store app, and then tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache;" then, select Download manager and tap "Clear data" and "Clear cache"
You must be able to successfully sign into Google Talk to download Android apps on Google Play. Make sure your device is signed into Google Talk by following these steps:
Go to your phone’s app launcher, and press the Talk app.
If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out.
Launch Talk again to sign in.

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

I'd suggest do a factory reset simply and set up A/c again and start it all over again from the beginning.

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

I'd say get in touch with Micromax regarding the support.

As this doesn't have any Custom Recovery, it's not possible to flash GAAPS too. :(

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

As far as the port blocking is considered, there is no chance that TCP port would be blocked. For UDP, just check in your router settings that "UPnP" setting is enabled.

Its working fine..my office friend brought it today. Installed few apps....

Thanks Sujay, now checking UDP port .

Can you check your BSNL router settings ? just check if something is wrong in it. I am not sure exactly which things you need to check.

Also take it to your friends house and check it on his wifi if possible.

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

I have no problem in opening other application like gmail, gtalk, map or browser only google play is causin the problem. There's no firewall setting or "UPnP" option in router setting page.
I have Trendnet TEW-452BRP router.

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

It has to be there. Check thoroughly. Enabling firewall in router shouldn't affect apps.

So what should I do now?? Should I take it to service center? Is this device hardware fault or software fault?
I have never faced a issue like this in Nokia, Android is very complicated :(

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

First give it a try with some other connection, if it doesn't works, take it to service centre.

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

did the tab came with market app or play app? if only play app is giving timeout error, its problem with software.

if you are ready to root you may replace old play with new one or at least check if correct permission is assigned. but better to give it service center. let them check this problem. its a new tab after all.

My tab comes with old market. First try to open market with old market then update with new Play market. Both of them are giving same error "connection timeout''
I will not root as it will void the warranty. I will take this tab to service center. Lets see. :Fingerx:

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

Have you tried logging in through PC?
I mean to say that if you log in through your PC and then download (keep your device connected to internet). See whether download starts or not?

Can you try again using the bundled 3G stick? That should make it easier to see where the problem is.

Dude this is a problem with the speed of your internet........happens with all android devices.........try it out on a faster internet connection and it will start working...........Many ISP give a 2 MBPS connection.........but in actuality you do not receive that kind of bandwidth........try to create a hotspot with ur android phone and use the 3G on ur cell.........if you are using Nokia then you can share the net connection using the PC/OVI suite via bluetooth/cord..........feed this to ur lapppy and create a hotspot using ur lappy.......

Re: Google play problem on Micromax Funbook

Guys today, I went to the Micromax service center. And with their wifi connection, google play opens without any problem in my funbook. So, I thought that my wifi router has some problem. But some miracle has happened, now G. play is also opening with my wifi connection. But I don't understand what the main cause of my problem ??

Hey OP sorry for hijacking your thread.

I am facing the same issue on Galaxy note 2, I am using ASUS RTN13U B1, and i found that its something with my router because i am able to download stuff on 3g/2g. Now even youtube stopped working as well. Also when i connect my pc directly to the internet i am able to watch you tube without hassles.

I re flashed my modem to the latest firmware. I think the problem is with MTU and i am not able to set the mtu on router for Automatic IP connections, the setting is there but that's only for PPOE connection. Unfortunately TIKONA broadband uses automatic ip via dhcp.

Well I think i will flash my router with DDWRT wish me luck
