REMINDER: This is not a permanent solution, remember to check again if the play store is fixed at a later date to enable the switch again and update to the latest version.

Update: 7/4/17:

Hello guys.Many users, including me, stumbled across this problem the past couple of days.There seems to be an issue with the latest Google Play Store version, which becomes stuck on waiting for network if you try to download something at random times.This is very frustrating but I found a fix, although temporary until Google updates the play store.Without further ado, this is what this fix is aboutGo to apps, press the three dot menu on the top right, show system apps, and find Google Play Store.Once in Google Play Store, press remove updates, or disable and enable the app again, both ways work.If you see in the notification bar that Google Play Store is updating, CANCEL IT.Now, this is where is gets interesting.Normally the Google Play Store will update itself, but we want to stop that until a later date where a fix is pushed out.Download the app called MyAndroidTools.Open the app and select the service menu, press system.Scroll down to Google Play Store.Find a switch named SelfUpadteChecker and turn it off.Voila, your play store will now be working properly.Have a nice day all.I found out that these switches may further help stop Google Play store from updating.Again use at your own risk.AsldListenerMaintainanceWindowJobServiceRescheduleUsingAlarmManager$CheckWifiAndAutoUpdateRescheduleIUsingBroadcast$AutoUpdateRecheckFrorBro adcastRescheduleUsingJobScheduler$CheckPreconditionsAndA utoUpdateJobServiceSeflUpdateCheckerScheduler$SelfUpdateCheckerTaskSe rviceI still recommend the first way because it seems the issue is still not resolved, but this may appeal to users who want something less intrusive or don't have root.I found out that the issue is not yet resolved with the latest google play version, but I was able to make play store work again with the following :Cleared data of Download Manager with Titanium Backup.Clered data of Google play services with Titanium Backup.Rebooted.I have no idea if this will last, but I was able to download apps after this, without touching the latest verion of Google Play Store.If you wanna be extra safe uninstall updates from play store as well, but this worked for me without doing so.Zte announced a new software update, namely B02, which should fix this issue without any user actions required.Thanks @ Choose an username... for reminding me.Hope it works.
