     With mobile data and wifi off, I see "Exception in CronetUrlRequest"   
   With wifi but no data I get a "wait" icon, for several minutes.   
   Go back and select 'Account and device preferences' again:   
     Country and profiles is not selectable   
     Option to "Switch to the United Kingdom Play Store."   
      
     So possibly Google looked at my ISP to pick a country, and has nothing   
   saved, and can't manage exception handling / testing. Eroski Supermercados   
   "isn't available on Goggle Play in your Region"   
      
     (The Google account on that phone is only used to enable Play Store, and   
   had minimal information entered after buying the phone).
