Facing a weird issue since today. Firstly, I am running Open Beta 9 and I was unable to download any new apps from play store or even update existing ones. I tried the basic deleting cache but no luck. So I removed my Google account and re added it. Now after re-adding my account, there are basically no sync options. Like contacts, keep etc data isn't being synced. Any help ? See screenshot for more details

Hello everybody,
I've used a temp gmail account (the famous one we all have for receiving spam) when I received and set up my Desire Z. The problem is that I've downloaded not many but nice applications (some are paid) and now I would like to restart from 0 and link my phone to a clean gmail account (and market account).
Is there any way of migrating one market account to another? basically having the apps downloaded or purchased under [email protected] migrated to [email protected]?
If not, anyway of retreiving apk's from my rooted phone and then installing them after a factory reset and a link to that new account? (was looking into /system/app but it seems like most of the apps are not in, nothing found on the sd)
Thank you in advance for helping me
what I suggest you do is just download the apps you paid for and keep the ones you have on your phone then migrate to the new gmail. You can do this by going in settings>applications>manage apps then (not sure if this is the right one) clear the cache on your market app. Open market and it will request you to login with your gmail. Do so with the new gmail and bammo! If you ever accidentally remove the paid apps, just login the old account again, so be sure to write down the info incase you forget later down the road.
Probably not the exact solution you were hoping for but it's the best I can come up with!
Note: If clearing market cache doesn't remove the logged in account, try clearing the cache of some other official google apps that require sync.
Note 2: doing this will not migrate your contacts, but you can always copy all your contacts from one account to another by logging into gmail on the pc and manually migrating them there.
Hope this helps!
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 two accounts that I use on my devices. On one account, I face 403 error, this application can not be downloaded for some apps but if I download the same by swaping accounts, I seem to download fine!
I remember using contact fix from google play due to problems with contact sync. Contact sync did its job!
It was a known problem in ROM that I flashed in one of my device; however, afterwards, I seem to get this error on specific apps like Viber on every device I use.
WHAT WORKED FOR ME
-Delete all gmail accounts from settings
-Clear app data of google play store, google framework, play services,google account manager from settings=> All apps
- Downgrade play store by uninstalling google play store apps
- delete host file from device/etc/host.text (Needs root)
- restart
-try to add account again from settings (not from Google play)
- see if google play works or gives no connection error
-in case of no connextion error, delete google account and add again!
- Works like a charm!

Nope, doesn't work.
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.
Today I was logged out of my Google account and I needed to login again. After completing the 2FA it starts over again.
I tried restaring my phone, deleting the Google Play Services data, updated Open GApps but it is always the same.
Oddly enough it works with a second user on my phone but happens to other Google accounts for my own user as well. There is no Google account currently in use.
Is there a way to reset the accounts by deleting something in /data? I suspect there is something wrong with the Google logins on my user.
Update: I solved it by deleting /data/system_ce/0/accounts.db and /data/system_de/0/accounts.db. I just found that out by coincidence and now it's working fine again
