- Now on the Google Play Store settings screen tap the ‘Force Stop’ button and then the ‘Clear Cache’ button and save the changes.

4. Check Freedom Apps
If you have Freedom apps installed on your android device and you see Play Store connectivity error then maybe they are the reason behind the Play Store app acting up.
One thing that you could do to address such a case is to identify those Freedom apps that have been causing the error and try to either temporarily or permanently block them and see if the issue is fixed or permanently delete those apps and open the Play Store app.

If nothing else works then it’s time to take extreme action i.e. to reset the device back to factory setting.
This is sure to work on most devices. Backup all your device data including contact details, media files, messages, folders, apps, and other important stuff before resetting the device to factory default settings.
A factory reset erases all phone data to returns it to its original state when you first started using the device.
Here’s how to go about factory data reset on an Android device:
- Navigate to Settings > Privacy and tap on the Factory Data Reset option.
- Close all apps and reboot your device.
- Wait for the reset process to complete and set up the mobile device again by entering Google Account details.
That’s all. Now your device should be free of Google Play Store No Connection Error. Download, install or update any app from Play Store as normal.
