Problem both on WiFi and mobile data?.

Use mobogenie instead of play store. Easiest solution.

Head on to XDA-Developers. Galaxy S-II has excellent dev support. You will find various ROMS there and how to upgrade to lollipop.

I updated link in post 437 of this thread.

I posted 'mobogenie lite' link by mistake instead of mobogenie. Try the updated link.

Update Google play store and Google play services from mobogenie.

Its an alternative to play store. It will update all your apps and you can also install apps from mobogenie. Use it until you find any solution for play store.

It was some older version of mobogenie. These days it is not bloating device or showing ads. Just make sure to disable 'push notifications' from mobogenie settings.

I think it should only be used when playstore is not working.

Are you sure you haven't restricted the background data/ apps. Option can be found in Mobile Networks.
Are you sure you are not using any proxy, make sure the APN settings are correct, data bearer, port etc

Have you tried to edit the host file, if you are rooted then trying edit it. Just put # before 127.135.184.234 android.clients.google.com. The IP you may see might be different.
If not rooted then delete the hosts file located in "etc" folder, reboot in recovery and wipe cache, reboot.

If non of this works, then i will be requiring logcats and complete phone info, just acquire a .apk of Phone Info app and post the screeshots.

Data background restrictions are not only for mobile data. The Media can be blocked which is directly related to the Download Manager which can ultimately disallow usage of Playstore.
Altleast try what i suggested so it can be ruled out while we investigate.
