i changed to imui rom and some apps are not showing up in market. i did some searching and didnt find anything related to by dinc. please help!
Menu/Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All - scroll to Market.
Clear the data and clear the cache.
Back to Home, run Android Market however you usuallly do. It should act just like you have never run it and ask you to connect it to the proper GMail account.
Assuming you connect it to the same account you have always used, it should work again and the only thing lost is the search history.
I tried that and it didn't work. I am trying to download angrybirds. But it still does show it.
So it started a couple of days ago when I noticed that my Google Maps is not downloading data at all. Google Maps used to be my great companion while trying to know my way around in a new place. I used to mark places and do what not. So, when it stopped working on mobile data, I thought let me wait till I connect to WiFi and fix whatever is bothering it. But no, it didn’t work.
I noticed in Accounts and Sync that my Google account is not in sync any longer. I try but the last sync time/date stays unchanged no matter how I try: WiFi, mobile data, internet pass-through. It just does not sync. Assuming it to be a problem with my Google account, I fire up my laptop and type my credentials on Gmail. Behold! After a wait of more than usual time, I see that my browser cant find the page. I leave the tab open, and try to enter Gmail and I am in. No glitch. I sign out and try again. Same thing: it never logs in when I hit Sign In button. I link this issue to my phone sync and forgot it. Since I work (and live too) in China, it was safe to assume that Google is under heat.
I sync my other personal Gmail account with Windows Live Mail. I noticed that I can login to my personal account (web browser on a laptop) effortlessly. When I try my other Google account on my laptop (account I use with Android), it does not log me in. I work-around it and change my password. I tried to log in but same problem.
I go to my phone assuming it will ask me for a password change, IT DOESN’T. I just doesn’t sync. I try to remove my account from Android to add it again but IT WONT DELETE or be modified. Every time I try to add a new Google account, I get the message: “Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server” on WiFi, Mobile Data, Internet Pass-through. Nothing works and all bring up the same message. I get pissed off. So then on, I spend two days doing all this ****:
1. Create a new Gmail account and try to add a secondary account on my DHD: FAILED
2. Delete the which-was-working-earlier-account from Google (laptop) and try to sync Android: FAILED
3. Try to add account in MARKET, GMAIL and GTALK Apps: FAILED
Being a happy to go flasher and happy with RCMix Runny 1.3, I get really serious:
4. Wipe using recovery and restore to month old RCMix Bliss 1.3 nandroid backup. FAILED to sync with deleted Google account. Does not ask for change of anything. Just connection reliability error. Add new Google account: FAILED.
5. FULL WIPE and reinstall RCMix Runny 1.5. New setup. Add newly created working Google account during setup: FAILED
6. Try step 4 again after double wipe and everything. FAILED
7. Download ‘Revolution Super Wiper’ and wipe DHD twice. Install RCMix Runny 1.5. Try to add Google account: FAILED
8. Wipe with Super Wipe and install ARHD 6.1.2. Add new Google account: FAILED
9. Super Wipe, almost format SD Card, install ARHD 6.1.2 without SIM card Add Google account: FAILED
10. Give up and rant here in the forum.
Here is what works:
1. I CAN add a Google/Hotmail account in MAIL app. Everything works fine. No issues whatsoever.
2. I am connected on WiFi, Data Connection, Internet Pass-through. Checked and verified. No internet connection issues whatsoever.
Here is what I cannot try:
1. Use the Youtube workaround mentioned almost everywhere: though I did try to fire up the Youtube App.
It leaves very little to guess: if I can write about this for 10 straight minutes, I have ‘wasted’ a lot of my time trying to look for a fix and trying to fix this issue. I may be missing something terribly stupid or something really is wrong.
Who can help?
RESOLVED:
Updated the host file with a line :
74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
and I am through adding my new Google account.
Thank you so much... After reading a lot on web, n wasting my whole 2 days i finally got the solution.. I had to root my phone, but that was nothing to solve this problem.. thanks a lot...
I wonder what caused the issue in the first place.
This shouldn't happen by default, but I'm glad you found a workaround and I'm sure a lot of folks will find it useful.
Cheers
Hi,
I have xperia Arc and ICS 4.0.3 stock ROM.
I can't log into Market/Play. It says "Authentication required. Please sign into your google account". I'm already signed in.
I can use Talk, Gmail, Map with Latitude, and other app fine but not the Market.
Is there anything I should do to gain access to the market?
Google account is already sync'd too. I can even see my phone in my google account but not under "my device" in Google Play.
Any help?
Thanks in advance.
Hi.
I think this can help you. Go to Settings - Applications. Search Google Play Store. Select. Press Clear Data. Go back. Start the App. Try and let me know if this work. I use this when an App is not working right.
Thank you for the reply.
I tried it but I still can't use the Market.
Got the same error.
I'm sorry. Can you access Google Play from a computer?
Yes, I can access to google from my computer fine but my phone is not showing under "my device" tab in google play.
In order to have my device appear there, I need to access Google Play on my device first which I can't. I don't know what to do...
Well, I think you must made a backup of your contacs, SMS and App's try performing a factory reset: Settings -- Backup & reset -- Factory data reset. The phone will restart as a brand new one, so you can configure all again.
Be aware that this procedure will erase all data on phone. Apps, app data and personal data. So, the backup is very important.
Factory reset doesn't seem to solve the problem either. I tried it before but it didn't work. :/
That's weird... Try adding another GMail account to the app, is the only thing that I can figure out. Hope it helps you!
Hello there, I've experienced the same when my device's date/time are not well configured. Try checking if your date and time are configured. If you date it's something like "May 5, 1920" believe me Market/Play wont work.
If google play have a update, remove the update, go to Google play again, then google play installs the update again. With update I mean a update from Google play self. You must go to the list of installed apps, there you will see if there is a update installed.
Thank you guys for the replies.
Methods tested:
1. Adding new accounts : Didn't work.
2. Uninstalled Google play update : Didn't work.

3. Date time checked: Correct date/time but didn't work.
4. Tried to clear Market cache : Didn't work.
Any suggestion?
Well, I run out of suggestion...
Try "Settings" - "Applications". Search "Google Play Store". Choose "Uninstall Updates", "Clear Data" and "Clear Memory Cache" (sorry if the names are different, I use spanish in my phone). After that, try to login with the old version of Google Play Store.
tried that already. Still can't use it.
Anyways, thanks mate.
Well, lets keep trying. What about flashing your phone with GB? The app in this firmware is Google Market, the very old one. Flash and open the app without performing any update.
Maybe it's a failure from something else. Google play use GOOGLE PARTNER SETUP and GMAIL to login to Google play store. Maybe it help to clear the data from that, otherwise I think that a clean flash of the FW is the best.
You are connected from a country that is blocked from Google like Iran or Syria;
You have to use a something like VPN connection; But it won't work if you connected to google play without it at the first time.
You have to delete the program and it's data (or reset your phone) then try connecting to google play after connecting to a proxy connection like VPN.

Not, he's not in a blocked country. If you read all the posts, you will find that he can access Google Play from the web, but being his phone not recognized, can't install any app.
I don't know what else to do to help him...
Hey everybody. Recently, a family member's power button on their Epic 4G Touch stopped working. I insisted it was a hardware issue, yet when they took it in to Sprint, they said it was a software issue. I figured I might as well try a factory reset to see if it indeed WAS a software issue. I copied all the files via USB, and I did a sync with the Google account, and then reset. They didn't need everything backed up, they just needed their contacts. Stupidly, I assumed the Google Sync kept the contacts. Tried to restore the contacts via Google Sync and looks like the Contacts didn't sync. I don't think I can root the phone as the power button is not functioning. I have tried several software on my Windows Computer that are supposed to recover Android files. The pictures, videos, messages, etc. all recovered. However, I was unable to get the software to recover the contacts. I tried "Wondershare Dr. Fone for Android" to no success. Is there anything else I can try to recover the contacts? I have all the external (I think that's what it is called) backed up on my PC. I plugged the phone in prior to reset, and copied all the files from there. Is there anything I can do to recover the contacts? Thanks guys!

I save all my contacts as google contacts and when I log in to my google account, they are all downloaded. If that did not happen for you, then they are probably lost.
Yea I use Google voice and it shows like a log of all my contacts are messages, calls, etc. In the future you could download an app called super backup. It lets you back up your contacts into a file that can be moved around. Then all you have to do is reinstall the app and look for that file to get your contacts back.

Hello Everyone. I have a Samsung Captivate Glide i927 (AT&T). It was running Omni ROM 4.4 but since the latest Google Play Services update keeps 'crashing' the phone (multiple pop-ups stating that Google Play Services has stopped), I have decided to go back to stock ICS 4.0.4
The problem now is that my Google account isn't syncing properly. My contacts, calendar, Keep notes are unable to sync. I keep getting an error that states that 'Sync is having problems.' I also can't connect to the Google account from certain apps like WhatsApp & SwiftKey keyboard and as a result, I can neither back my chats to Google Drive nor download my customs words for the SwiftKey keyboard app. I can however use the Google Drive app normally. The Play Store also works properly.
I have done everything that I can think of (& read online). They are:
1. Deleting the Google Play Services cache.
2. Emptied the phone's cache. I also formatted it & the Dalvik cache in CWM.
3. Removed my Google account from the phone. Restarted & added the Google account.
4. Reset the phone to factory settings.
5. Re-flashed the official/stock 4.0.4 ROM by using Odin.
6. Changed my Google account password to 'force' everything to 'reset' and resync.
7. I have added a hash prefix to the localhost IP address in the hosts file in the 'etc' folder. I have also deleted it.
Syncing still doesn't work for those services. I am at my wit's end. Please can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks.
