Hi guys,

Hopefully you can give me some ideas. I have a i5503t from Telecom that refuses to connect to gmail or the playstore - just says cannot gain a good connection to the server, or to check network settings and device time.

This happens on both 3G and Wifi. It appears to connect to my wifi (my preferred option) ok (though does drop out easily), but trying to log into my google account, the play store, or youtube results in no connection and an error message. Weirdly it does seem to connect to the Samsung store (or at least to the point where it tells me there is an update - I don't want to apply this however because it'll wipe the device and I currently can't back anything up). Of course I can't be sure if it would go any further without updating it. 

Any ideas as to what might be the problem? It's a real pain!

Thanks.
