title: Not connected. Call Connect or wait for onConnected() to be called
body: <p>My app is map-centric. I call <code>requestLocationUpdates()</code> often. Once in a while, I get this <code>exception</code> when its called. Or in any other place which calls such method. I saw the solutions suggested on SOF, sadly nothing seems to work for me. Even if i call <code>mLocationClient.connect()</code>, there is no guarantee that it connects immediately, correct me if i'm wrong. How do i solve this problem?</p>

  <pre><code>gpsLocationDailog.cancel();
  
          int isGooglePlayServiceAvilable = GooglePlayServicesUtil
                  .isGooglePlayServicesAvailable(getApplicationContext());
          if (isGooglePlayServiceAvilable == ConnectionResult.SUCCESS) {
              /** thorws shitty expectiosn **/
              mLocationClient.connect();
              try {
                  mLocationClient.requestLocationUpdates(REQUEST, this);
                  mCurrentLocation = mLocationClient.getLastLocation();
                  fireQueryToGetTheResponse(latitude, longitude);
                  rl.setVisibility(View.VISIBLE);
                  mDrawerLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
                  mSlidingUpPanelLayout.setVisibility(View.GONE);
              } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
                  mLocationClient.connect();
                  Log.e(TAG, " Waiting for onConnect to be called");
