Help Google Apps not working over WiFi!

Hello All!

This is my 1st post here.

I recently swapped my iPhone 3GS for a Moto G and immediately upgraded it to KitKat. Since then I've been facing a variety of problems. Firstly, my camera would intermittently stop working and give the 'Camera Error' message. This was subsequently fixed by Moto when they released an update.

But another problem has been everpresent right from the start. Over my home WiFi, a number of apps requiring Google Sign in fail to work! These are :

1. Play Store
2. Facebook
3. YouTube
4. Google Search (Bing search works just fine!)

These work just fine when i switch off my WiFi and turn to 3G.

I have done a lot of research and tried a number of supposed fixes that worked for other people. They include :

1. Checking the Date & Time on my device
2. Switching to Airplane mode and back
3. Deleting my Google Account & Signing in again
4. Clearing cache, force stop etc

None of these seem to work. But at times, all of a sudden they start working. But it's completely random cause if I try the next day or something, they revert back to their non-functional state.

My WiFi at home runs on Google DNS servers. I can access these websites through my laptop.

I have absolutely no idea over what to do. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

KV
 
Welcome to the forums, KV!
I've never had these problems on my GSM Moto G since the update (it runs primarily on Wifi, couple different networks).
Have you tried a factory reset? Failing that perhaps clearing data and cache on those respective apps?
 
It might be the date/time settings in your router...make sure the correct time zone and DST(if applicable) are set.
 
I also wondered what "swapped: meant. Did you get it new or did you swap it with someone else?

Did you do a Factory Data Reset after upi I[graded to Kit Kat?
