Help Need assistance

I have a Huawei ascend plus. Everytime I try to login to Google play it pops up" connection time out". But I can surf the Web all day and never have this problem. Also, when I download certain games or apps it will download it and when I install it I get "there was a problem parsing the package". What does this mean and how do I get around it? Someone please help?

The server you're trying to connect to didn't respond quickly enough. Some don't, because they're temporarily down, a forum is doing a database backup, the webmaster is making a few changes and forgot to repoint that URL to a page that says "Sorry, we'll be down for maintenance for a few hours", that sort of thing.

Also, when I download certain games or apps it will download it and when I install it I get "there was a problem parsing the package". What does this mean
Usually it means "this package isn't for your hardware.version of Android. The developer checked the wrong box." Sometimes it means that you got a bad download, and the phone really can't parse (read) the package.

and how do I get around it?
If downloading it gain doesn't fix it, contact the developer. But don't hold your breath. Some developers could write the Obamacare site in their sleep (seriously - it's tons of code, but not difficult code), others couldn't program a wet tissue to fall apart. And some have abandoned the app, the email address no longer works ... bottom line in those cases is to find a different app.
