My device is Motorola Xoom MZ604. The internet connectivity is 4G WiMax via my laptop as hotspot. The problem is when I'm trying to download any app from Google Play Store, it gives me an Error 504 with the message I mentioned in title.

However, if I navigate to the application via browser and click: Install → Select Device → Install and then restart my device, it sometimes works.

Some googling brought me that it's a gateway timeout error. But I'm still unable to figure out how to work around the problem. So looking forward for your help.

Try resetting the play store app. You won't lose your apps following these steps. Nothing important will be lost.

Steps to follow on a motorola xoom

  1. Go to the app drawer (menu)
  2. Tap settings
  3. Tap applications
  4. Tap the "All" tab
  5. Scroll through and look for play store
  6. Tap Play Store (not play store services!)
  7. Tap "clear data"
  8. You will then get a warning, click "ok"

That's it, go through your problem again and see if it fixed. Bear in mind you will have to re-accept the terms and conditions for the play store app, when this comes up, simply click "accept"
