[Q] Can't access Google account - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Hey all, this is my first thread so go easy on me. I've searched, found similar threads, but nothing has worked so far.
I recently flashed Jedi Knight 6 and I am now unable to sign into my Google account or apps (Play Store, GMail, YouTube).
The error I get is "unable to establish a reliable connection to the server". I've tried using wifi to sign in and get the same error. However, I am able to browse the internet (GMail through a browser works), MMS works and phone calls work.
I don't think it's anything really ROM related as the MD5 was correct and everything but Google seems to work.
From searching around it seems to be Android Issue 8636 (hxxp://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8636).
I've tried:
-youtube fix
-remove sim
-set apn
-etc/host fix
-reflashing
with no luck. Anybody else experience this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Biz.

Bump.

Google talk authentication fails

I stupidly altered my gmail address from @googlemail to @gmail (I'm in the UK) and then realised that you can't change the account on the phone without a factory reset on the phone so undid it and deleted the new @gmail account from my phone (keeping the original @googlemail one).
Now I keep getting the message that Google talk authentication has failed and I can't download anything from the market - any help out there?
Change it back
I did the same and then had to log in to my gmail account and change it back to googlemail and its fine again now :0
check out the google forum here which is also discussing it
http://www.google.co.uk/support/for...ad?fid=35ae480b5fa3f9cf000485fe3ab67eee&hl=en
I did the same but ended up factory resetting the phone and reconfiguring it for gmail.com.
It's a pain but it allows you to use Picasa sync and this is something I've wanted f'rages!

Thanks for the response but I have changed the account back to @googlemail from my laptop and it's still not working - as appears to be the case for others form the thread you connected me to

I don't have any purchased apps but Titanium Backup restored my apps pretty successfully.
Picasa sync seems to send small versions of your pictures to your phone. Certainly don't have 2gb of pictures on my phone as I would have noticed this happening.
Well I gave up and did a factory reset back to @googlemail and all seems well. A relatively painless process except that the desire backup routine seems to save a rather eclectic selection of your settings

Hey guys!
Same here. Loving this ROM just awesome but no market downloads and GTALK authentification failed.
Thing is I have reinstalled the ROM and was able to log into gtalk for 5 mins then it is logging out and can't go back in!
Anybody got a fix for this?
Thanks for all the hard work from the XDA devs! U guys rock.
hey guys! i have recently installed in my hd2 the 2.3.3 android version and i also have the same problem with google talk authentication. How can i fix the problem? Thank u
Possible fix
I just stumbled across this thread because I was getting the same error on a Mytouch 3G slide and I found a way to fix it. all I had to do was force the phone to authenticate thru wifi and not the cell network once, then I was able to authenticate successfully the regular way after that. the way I did it on my phone was to remove the sim, but on a CDMA phone like yours you could try to activate airplane mode (settings>Wireless & networks), then turn on wifi and connect to a working wifi connection, log into the google talk app, then disable airplane mode.
I had this very problem and fortunately came across a solution courtesy of pascalsg which worked for me that was in the BoyPPC -ShiftPDA Android ROM for HD2. The problem with Talk authentication seemed to interfere with my Market downloading causing any 'starting downloads' to just hang.
First I enabled chat in the Gmail account on the desktop. Then I cleared data on the phone \settings\applications\manage applications\all (for Google Backup Transport, Google Partner Set Up, Google Services Framework and Market as per the solution above. Then I rebooted the phone. Then for some reason there was no authentication issue. I then went into the application settings of Talk on the phone and turned off "automatic sign in. Now there are no repeated error messages about authentication failure and the Android Market works as it should.
google fails
Try a different SD rom, I used americandroid and everything worked on my HTC hd2 now on another rom and Google fails again

This worked perfectly for me. Couldn't log into google talk or download apps from marketplace. Used airplane mode then turned on wifi only, then connected to google talk instantly. After that, I can turn airplane mode off and log in to google talk and download apps.
[solved] talk authentication failed on android
SOLUTION:
NOTE: You WON'T lose all your installed apps if you do this (at least I didn't). However, if you clear the data for Settings, you will lose your preferences. Try doing it w/o clearing the data for settings, then if that fails do it again and clear the Settings data.
1. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Press All (or Show All, etc.)
3. Clear Data for the following Apps (if data is clearable):
- Account and Sync Settings
- com.google.andriod.feedback
- Gmail (and Gmail Storage if it is there)
- Google Services Framework
- Google Voice
- Maps
- Market & Market Updater
- Network Location
- News and Weather
- Search
- Sound Recorder
- Talk
- TTS Service
- Voice Search
- VPN Services
- World Newspapers
- YouTube
- Settings (Settings will close when you clear its data)
I don't use the email client app (not the Gmail app but the one simply called 'Email'), so I don't know if you'll need to clear its data or not. If all else fails, try it (I imagine you'll lose any downloaded emails).
4. Clear the data for any apps associated with any of the above listed apps.
5. Clear the data for any other applications affiliated with Google or your Google account.
6. Clear the data for any applications that aren't uninstallable, i.e. 'built-in' applications.
7. Reboot and you're done. Google Talk should work correctly now.
I'm sure this is overkill. Some of these apps may not have anything to do with the problem but when I cleared the data for them and rebooted, Google Talk worked correctly. Also, I am using an Archos 70 IT so you might have some different requirements for this procedure on your phone/tablet. BTW I got the Google Talk error when I changed the password on my primary Google account.
Good luck!

Google Apps - Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server

I have rooted my fire, sucessfully installed the market, gmail app and youtube however I am unable to connect my gmail account to any of them. During the initial login process of signing into my account. I keep getting this error that says "Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server". It does it with all 3 of those apps. I know my wifi is working as im able to access the internet. Im wondering if maybe i need to reinstall the google services framework or something?
Have any of you seen this and been able to work around it? Im able to run all apps except google ones.
Thanks
okay i figured it out, had to install the syncsettings, turn off background data, restarted, then reinstalled googleframework, restarted, turned background data back on. then it let me sign in.
weird!!
Anyone have other tips for dealing with this issue on a wifi-only Kindle? Nothing I've tried has worked. There's a so-called YouTube hack, but I don't even know what version of YouTube to install that might work to let me setup my Google account without going through the same interface that the Play Store uses. Thanks

[Q] Google Music & Exchange/Email FC - [ROM] ICS 4.0.3 CM9, b0.2.6,

Hey, I am having some issues with the ICS 4.0.3 CM9, b0.2.6 ROM working with the Google Music app and getting Exchange on it.
Google Music seems to only want to play local music on my phone, whenever I try to stream a song, the Music app FCs. I have tried uninstalling it, clearing data, but still having the same issue. I've had this problem since the b0.2.5, the only thing I haven't tried is a fresh install with b0.2.6.
With the Email app, whenever I try to setup my exchange account, it keeps FC after I try saving the settings for my account (basically says "Exchange has FC" or something of that nature).
I also noticed that browser sync isn't working either under Accounts -> Google.
I searched around and couldn't find anything, and can't post on the dev forum so I figured this would be the best place. I also realize that this is a beta ROM, I was just wondering if these issues are known (I searched the original ROM thread and couldn't find anything that would answer my questions) or maybe there is something messed up with my installation. Anyways, thanks in advance for any help!

[Q] Google+/Avast! Error - 'No Connection'

Hi there,
Seems since updating to CM10 10/19 NIGHTLY I'm having a bit of a problem with Google+ and Avast!. Specifically, when I try to sign in to Google+, I get an error 'No Connection. Couldn't connect to the server.'.
Same thing with Avast!, where the error is "Could not connect to Google Cloud to Device Messaging (Phone_Registration_Error) Please make sure your Google account is set up correctly"
Of course, I can't seem to set up the Google account correctly since Google+ is not playing nicely.
Any ideas? Is this a known issue of any kind? Everything else web-related is working fine with either my home Wifi connection or my 4G data connection, just seems this (these) are the outliers.
Thanks!
[SOLVED: Though this isn't a 'hey, I fixed it without anything major' fix, ultimately updating to a new nightly and the updated GApps package has solved the problem. Couldn't tell you what broke it in the first place, and clean removing and reinstalling Google+ wasn't fixing the issue.]
having the same issue here with google+, on slimbean 2.8 (CM based) :/
[EDIT] Fixed. Only way was to delete the google account and re-add the account from the google+ app when prompted, you might want to try that.

[Q] Email App shows as ACTIVITY_ENTRY_NAME now do I fix?

Recently the Email application seems to have renamed itself on the App screens to be called ACTIVITY_ENTRY_NAME instead of Email. Everything works but I'm so fussy that this annoys me and I'd like it to say Email like it used to.
Does anyone have the stock email APK so that I can try reinstalling this to see if that fixes the issue. Or can anyone recommend any ways to correct this.
Have done a reset of the device and have also upgraded to 10.5.1 and rerooted again and nothing has fixed it.
The application name changed about the same time as all the issues with Google Play Services stopped working messages occurring.
