Hello, I've been trying to figure out why this only happens in a single area. I got a new phone about 3 weeks ago and went to play Pokemon Go at a park with some friends. When I got there I had a lot of problems logging into the game, if I did finally connect I'd eventually lose connection after a few minutes.
I went back to try and do some troubleshooting and that's when I found out it wasn't a Pokemon Go issue. While I'm in this park, or the area around it, I cannot access the Google Playstore, or add, switch accounts etc. The Playstore opens and then times out, saying to retry. If I try to add a new account the page times out after I put in the email address and I get an error saying there was a problem and to try again.
Everything else works fine. I can make and receive calls and text and I can also browse the internet at 4g speeds. The only things that don't work are the Playstore and since I use a google account to play Pokemon Go, I can't connect to that. I went back today and tried to connect to the wifi at the park, once I was connected I was then able to load the Playstore like normal. After that my friend turned on their hotspot and I connected to that and was able to play.
So any ideas what would make only those specific things not work in this park? I've tried clearing cache/data, factory reset the phone etc. Since it worked once connected to wifi I figured it might just be a mobile connection problem, but wouldn't that cause issues with everything else as well?
Thanks for your time.
