Check your phone settings - it might be set to only work with Wi-Fi.

Airplane mode on then off usually sorts it for me.

It turns out that my issue was a direct cause of my tinkering with data usage settings.

I had accidentally set the "restrict background data" option in data usage settings for Media. Media contains the component 'Download Manager' and 'Downloads' and when I decided to remove all background data restrictions last night, downloads on the play store worked again.

I have tried all sorts to get it working, I have done a factory reset and done a reset with *2767*3855# DO NOT TRY USING THIS CODE, YOU WILL WIPE YOUR PHONE AND LOSE EVERYTHING but yet the google play will not connect using 3g it just says no connection, but if i switch wifi on and connect using wifi google play loads and works fine.

Can you not connect through your laptop and push through to your phone?
