Not able to sign into my Google account - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm on the Sprint GS3 and something weird has happened when I flashed two completely different roms that has never happened for as long as I've been flashing Roms dating back to the Samsung epic. I flashed the Avatars Rom and the Liquid Smooth Rom and as I went to sync my contacts I put my email address and password in and it said "could not connect to server". Any reason or fix to that problem.

Are you on WiFi? Might be either a signal drop or wrong password, but I can't think of anything else other than a weak data connection.

If you have wifi, use it. If not, Odin back to stock and start fresh. Sometimes between flashes certain things stick and u just don't realize. I flashed from one TW rom to another with a full wipe and a lock screen setting stuck thru it.

Same problem here. Tried different gapps, signing out of Google account, reflashed ROM, cleared play store data. I haven't even flashed anything in almost a month.

It isn't the ROM necessarily, restoring a recent nandroid fixed it for me. Thank God for nandroids!

Needed to install gapps for the Avatar ROM that's why it wasn't working. For the Liquid ROM its the kernel; I don't know but my phone wouldn't reboot after flashing the rom, the fix, gapps and kernel.

Is google wallet safe to use, what if you lose your phone. Can someone access your credit card info?

Google wallet is locked, in that everytime you open the app, you need to input your password. So unless they know the pin, they won't have access. Additionally, you can set up an additional screen lock pin.
worked like a charm

Just installed CM10 can't make calls or send texts

After installing a CM10 nightly data / WiFi are working but I can't make calls or send text messages. This is my first experience with a custom rom so I'm not sure what went wrong.
Do you still have you imei number in about phone/status?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I would check the IMEI as suggested above and flash again if the IMEI is still showing up.
My IMEI was set, but my phone number wasn't.
Thanks for pointing me to the right place.
Update, I jumped the gun on this being solved. I can call and receive texts, but I can't send them.
Check your apn?

I see this posted a lot when trouble shooting here in the forums. What exactly is APN?
Access Point Name
It's basically the settings for what your uses to connect to the network.

I checked for that and I currently have two options:
Bell: pda.bell.ca. Currently checked
Bell flex: inet.bell.ca
I tried the second one but that didn't help
Edit n/m
Some googling led me to this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/wiki/SMSC_Updates
I tried all three styles but each one gave me an instant "update error"

Try restoring with Odin to stock unrooted or flash a ROM to see if that works it might be some corrupt files or your WiFi radio just decided to go bad

I will try that only thing I did was root the device and installed twrp recovery .

Wipe dalvik cache and cache then flash the ROM again.
Thanks, that worked. But now, Google Play was uninstalled from my phone... Also, my WiFi signal bar shows blank, even though I'm connected.

I had similar issues with pac rom
I tried the new Jedi Mind Trick JB 2.1
phone has never worked so smooth and perfectly
even MHL HDMI output works and Bluetooth mouse and Keyboard
both didn't work with pac rom either
hoped this helps m8
That doesn't really answer my question. I would like to try to fix this before I switch ROMs.

You have to flash Gapps after dirty flashing the ROM. Sorry I didn't make that clear. I don't know why your WiFi bars are blank.
I got the store back, but the WiFi is still blank.

Wifi Issues

I'm having issues with my Wifi and clueless on how it got to this point. Everytime I try to turn it on, it turns back off automatically. I'm at home trying to connect so it should have the password saved already. Any ideas on what to do?
I'm running Wicked Rom V7, I have been out with friends all day drinking. Haven't used my phone besides texting, Instagram, and Facebook. It was fine this morning til now.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
Are you sure its not working? I mean after drinking all day, a lot of things might seem broken that aren't. :beer:
If you are sure its busted, check these things...
Make sure the password on the router hasn't changed. If you live with other people you never know. Or the router could have just reset to defaults for some odd reason.
Delete the saved WiFi connection on your phone and start over. The password in your phone might have been corrupted too, causing it to send the wrong password to the router. Don't try to fix it. Just delete the entry and start over. That way if its another problem you'll fix that issue too.

Try this,
Download and cwm/twrp flash the Ktoonz kernel, that usually
fixes most wifi issues which people are having.
Here are the direct download links for the Touchwiz JELLYBEAN 4.3 VERSION:
http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/s...11.14.2013.zip
OR if you are using 4.2.2 rom then get the Touchwiz JELLYBEAN 4.2.2 VERSION:
http://ktoonsez.jonathanjsimon.com/s...11.14.2013.zip
Good luck!

I flashed the 4.2.2 and still have the same problem, I just hope it isn't any hardware issues. I guess I'll be backing everything up and reflashing the rom.

Found out every time I install this app I have the issues. So if any of you who had the same issue as me, just don't install this app. If you did already, uninstalling it won't help. Back-up necessary stuff and just reflash rom.
