Google Play Store - No Connection (Galaxy Note 3) I'm have connectivity issues with the Google Play Store app.  I have a non-rooted Note 3 (4.3).  The had worked the first few weeks I had the phone in December and then hasn't worked since.  I get the same "No connection - Retry" error everytime I access it.  I've been have trouble with Google Play Services since I tried disabling it when I realized how much battery life it drained.  I've had trouble using Youtube at times but never as persistent and consistent as the Play Store.

I have done the following:


Wi-fi/LTE connections, no difference between the two
Airplane mode on/off
Manual and automatic date/time
Updated both Google Play Services and Google Play Store via Android Police


I have basically done everything except a factory reset which seems like the next logical step but it does not fix the problem for everyone.  I am trying to figure out if there is anything else I haven't tried that I may be overlooking.

Thank you!
@RossC I had Google Play Services enable but I went to check my disabled list and Google Play Services Framework was disabled!  You helped my find the answer!  Thank you, sir, for the help and the link to help with battery drain!
