[Q] Couldn't connect to the server - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I keep getting "No Connection Couldn't connect to the server" when I try and launch Google + when I hit okay it ask me to choose an account when I choose my Google account it takes me back to the"No Connection Couldn't connect to the server" all of my other Google apps with the same account work. I have removed and re-installed the app from the market as well as rebooted several times. I just moved from an Iphone to the Android os and have rooted the phone and have become addicted to trying out different settings so I'm sure its something I did but I cant seem to pin point it, any ideas?

*HELP* Unable to access Play Store/Google Services Sprint Galaxy Note 2

As the title says, I'm unable to access the Play Store, etc... When I attempt to log in to my Google account it reads:
"Couldn't sign in
Can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
This could be a temporary problem or your Android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
What I've Tried to do:
1. Went to Application Manager > All, & tried to Clear data/cache/uninstall updates for Play Store, and pretty much all other Google Apps/Services
2. Factory Reset like x3
3. Tried http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2110225 but when I get in there, it doesn't just say "127.0.0.1 localhost/ 74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com" theres a bunch of other stuff (probably due to the fact that I had an Ad blocker app), and when I try to clear it all out and just keep the "XXX.X.X.X. localhost, etc" it says the file is too big and cannot be edited.
Some info on my phone:
Sprint Galaxy Note 2
Version: 4.1.2
Baseband: L900VPAMC2
Build #: JZO54K.L900VPAMC2
Hardware Version L900.09
Rooted w/ cf-root/ no custom recovery
Help would greatly be appriciated :angel::fingers-crossed: I really don't know what to do, It's really a frustrating situation to be in because I can't sync up my contacts and my Chrome stuff etc. This is my first post...I searched everywhere and nothing worked for me. This was a last resort lol...:angel:

I registered just to post here to help you and anyone else in the similar(not same;mine is GT-N7100) situation.
I was in the same boat as you, this is how I solved it:-
1. Factory Reset (I don't think this is required, I did it then hoping it would work)
2. http://galaxynote2root.com/galaxy-n...ootunbrick-galaxy-note-2-with-stock-firmware/ (up to Step 8) <- solved here
Hope this helps. Have a great day/evening/whatever :good:
Just for sake of asking...Did you remove your google account and re-add it?
Oh, and from what I remember reading, Play Store will not work with any ad blocker apps. And, ensure you have location settings enabled. I was having troubles connecting to the play store on my phone, and was told to enable location settings, so I just enabled "Use Wireless Networks" and play store started right up after that.
Let me know if it works for you. Good Luck!

[Q] Resetting a rooted Galaxy Nexus to Factory Settings

I decided to reset my Galaxy Nexus (GSM, I think!) to it's factory settings, I should also mention that I have used Wugfresh's toolkit to flash Android 4.2.2 to replace its stock image that the phone came with, I flashed it to Yakju because it took a lot of time for an OTA update, I couldn't wait that long so I flashed it!
So my phone's bootloader is unlocked and it's rooted, all using Wugfresh's toolkit.
SuperSU is installed. Busy Box was installed before resetting.
So I reset the phone to its factory settings, and then when it boots back up it asks for your google account, that's where the problem is.
It takes a lot of time to connect to my WiFi network, and when it tries to connect to my Google account it says that it can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
And the WiFi Icon on the status bar is grey, as if their is no internet connection, although if I open the browser it works just fine, and also the laptop is connected to the same network and is working fine.
Please help, I'm in Pain!
IT WORKED PEOPLE IT WORKED
I'm probably the happiest guy on earth!
here is what I have done:
You must be rooted!
1-DownloadTotal Commander and installed it
2-go to /etc/hosts, click on it and choose Edit file.
3-I had two lines
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.55.56.83 android.clients.google.com mtalk.google.com
I just added a # at the beginning of the second line to make it
#127.55.56.83 blah blah
saved the file, and rebooted my device and tried adding the google account. I don't know if it made any difference but I had my SIM card removed the whole time.

Help! Google play error 495 curse

Hey guys just fot this tablet Monday, unrooted fresh out the box, it will download apps for a bit them get hung up and stop downloading and eventually show this error. Ive googled it and tried all the tricks that include clearing data im gp app/gp services/ framework. Unlinked my google account, rebooted etc.
2 strange things i noticed.
- my htc m8 on the same nerwork has never had these issues
-I haven't had this happen at my work network
I returned my tab S from Monday, now the new one does it too. I have a brand new Asus RT-AC68U beast of a wifi router. It briefly downloaded some apps once i took down the firewall, then errored out again...
I dunno what else to do i want to keep this tablet I hope someone can help.
Thanks in advance!
perhaps this workaround can help you:
on your pc you can install the chrome browser extension APK Downloader , then when you go to play store, you have an extra button download apk next to the app (all on pc in chrome browser) , once you downloaded the apk you can copy it to the tablet and install it.
Make sure that once you have copied the apk to your device you have enabled "unknown sources" in the settings or else it won't allow you to manually install an apk.
Whenever I have encountered an issue like this in the past I have Odin flashed the device to the latest stock firmware and then during the set up process, made sure that every minute detail entered is correct (or bypass google account installation and wifi connection and install them after the device start up).
Hmm thanks for the suggestions guys. Come to find out my m8 has this issue now so it must be router related somehow...
I too took down firewall of router, saved new settings, rebooted router, turned router off for 5 mins, turned it back on. Restarted lg g3 and then it worked for me. No more Error 495!

Google account sign in with browser not working

hello,
I have a Galaxy Nexus and just fresh installed the latest nightly from CM and the latest gapps Nano, when I want to add my google account though it says it needs a browser sign-in so I sign-in from the browser (2 step verification) and after the successful sign-in my account shows up in the browser but the sign-in process doesn't continue, I can browse my account and stuff but I'm stuck there, do I need to press something ? the only option I have from the sign-in screen is "Exit browser sign-in" and if I do that the account does not appear in the list.
Thank you in advance for any assistance

I had something similar happen when loading up a 4.3 ROM. Never had an answer to it. One thing you can do is use your PC and disable 2 factor authentication and then sign in as normal on your device. Once signed in, go back and activate 2FA.

hello,
yes that is what I eventually ended up doing and it worked ok, seems google 2 step authentication doesn't work very well on older distributions of Android
thank you

Some apps won't run and no internet

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 GT-P5210 and have installed TWRP and cm-12.1-20150505-UNOFFICIAL-p5210.zip together with open_gapps-arm-5.1-stock-2016-02013, and all was ok. Now about 2 weeks ago although there was a wifi signal, there was an exclamation mark against it and no internet connection.
I tried to sort that out with no luck and then decided to start over again. Using TWRP, I wiped the relevant folders, then re installed cm-12.1-20150505-UNOFFICIAL-p5210.zip again. When I rebooted into the sytem, there were minimal icons, but no play store and a browser that was locked to a particular website which it couldn't load.
WiFi was working ok now, so I then installed the open_gapps-arm-5.1-mini-20160203. I then rebooted into system and google maps wasn't working, and I had the exclamation mark back again on my wifi connection. I did try the stock version of open_gapps, but there were no google keyboard, no maps and no text to speach.
I had an idea of installing the firefox apk file but it wouldn't work giving and error: 'firefox won't run on this device (x86, 22)'
There is also no internet wifi connection when just install the bare bones OS. It's there at the first boot, but on a subseqent boot there is no internet
Update: I was checking some settings in my router and found that my GT-P5210 tablet was blocked in the MAC filter list. I removed it from the list and now it can connect to the net.
I installed this : cm-12.1-20150505-UNOFFICIAL-p5210.zip
then this: open_gapps-x86-5.1-micro-20160528.zip from here: http://opengapps.org/
The tablet runs fairly well except sometimes it is unresponsive, but that is something else to look at.
