Cannot login to Google Account...

Earlier today I flashed Fresh 1.1 onto my phone.. I was having some issues with the Calendar syncing up so I unchecked the sync under Settings-Data Sync-Google and backed out of it. (this is where the problems began) I also went to Applications-Manage applications and cleared the cache/data out of the calendar, gmail and google apps. I have removed all of the sprint apps except nfl network (some before, some after Flashing 1.1)
Whenever I go back to Settings-Data Sync-Google or try to open up the market, gmail, calendar or any of the google services, it askes me to "set up my google account".. I click next and it goes to "setting up your Hero200" so I click sign in and type in my login info and I get the message: Can't establish a reliable data connection to the
server.This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card
may not be provisioned for data services. If continues,
call Customer Care. I do have a data connection because I browse on Dolphin, everything else works fin
I've rebooted, but not restored an earlier backup.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...

are you on 3G or wifi?

WiFi, but I've tried it on 3g and it doesn't seem to make difference...

I read somewhere that someone manually set the APN for Sprint, does that make any sense to anyone?
I found this on another forum, can anyone confirm that this might help, or at least won't screw my phone up seriously if I try it:
"Is simple, but you need to be root and know how to play with the device: just delete the folder
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings and restart (before and after) and you can
use the wizard again."
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3477

i'm not sure, but go to settings>about phone>system updates and try updating the Profile and the PRL. since you're rooted don't mess with the firmware or anything though.

Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup yet?

I updated the Profile and PRL and still no change. I haven't restored my backup, yet...
I'm seriously thinking about following the advise in the link above and deleting: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings and see if that helps.. If I do this and it still doesn't work, I can do my restore and try that and if all else fails, start all over.. Right?
Before I delete this file, I want to back it up on my SD Card, I just push it to the SD card, correct? The problem is, that I have no idea what's in that file, that's why I'm hesitant to do this.. If it does screw something up, a backup should restore this, correct?
Thanks!

Been there, done that, couldn't fix it. I'm convinced that doing the "clear data" for those apps is not a good idea.
I ended up restoring the Nandroid I took right before I cleared that info, then instead went online and changed my Gmail password. That forced me to run through the Google Account Setup wizard again, which actually worked fine.

Yeah, when I cleared that data it wiped all my contacts and everything... I changed my google password and I'm going to restore a backup and see what happens.... At least I should have my contacts back....

Ok, that worked (for now anyways!!) Thanks johnnythan!! I restored a Nandroid and it prompted me for my google password right away...
I'm still getting the calendar force close whenever it tries to sync (problem I was originally trying to fix) but I'll live with that for now... It seems to sync, but takes a couple tries after force closing...
Thanks, much better than starting over from a full reboot!!

have you tried flashing the unofficial modaco rom version 1.3a? If you flash it, and follow the instructions to clear the dalvik and boot cache it may take care of your problems.

I think I tried that in the Fresh1.1 PreKitchen and I don't believe it helped.. I'll defiantly keep that in mind if I have this issue again.. Thanks!

Missing/Invalid Messaging Icons

I'm running the 2.3.15 deodexed leak with root. Whenever there is a notification for either exchange, facebook, or pop3/imap email, the status bar/drop down is missing its icon. There is just a while space where the icon should be. Also, when I go into the messaging application, everything except the global inbox and sms have a standard closed-envelope icon, instead of the default icons.
I was running the 2.3.9 leak for a day or two, but don't remember if the icons were present or not. I noticed it after loading 2.3.15, though.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance.

Bump...anyone know where I can look for these files to make sure they're still there?

Updated to the 2.2 OTA with the SBF, but did not wipe data and the icons are still missing. Does anyone know if it's possible to reinstall the messaging application?

I'd just make a backup of your information to your SD card and wipe cache/date... Simplest fix.

Do you mean the entire phone, or just the messaging app...I tried doing just the app. I'm a little uneasy about wiping the whole phone. I use Titanium backup, but I don't know what actually gets restored after a full wipe.

It looks like your best bet at this point. You did a full SBF and it didn't solve your problem. That only leaves the cache or data as your problem, right? Clear the cache first. It won't affect any of your information and might have the error in there somewhere. If it doesn't solve the problem make sure you have the Google backup enabled in your privacy settings. Once your sync icon disappears wipe data and cache. When you reactivate your phone it will restore your stuff.

many fixes for android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly

My Samsung Galaxy Tab (Sprint) recently, unexpectedly started displaying this message. I did a google search and was amazed on how many fixes and issues they are for this type of issue. I will admit I have done most of them...which only slow down the messages versus constantly popping up. Many tablets and phones are or have experienced this issue. Many say it was an app, widget, a system bug or a virus that caused it. It is clearly that no clear answer is established or it all depends on what was the last thing you did before you got the message. Here are the "fixes" that I found. What I will do next is flash a rom instead. I have already done two hard resets- still pops up. Hope this helps someone out. I just cut and pasted the answers that people said it worked for them. Please add any that I may have left out.
possible fixes for "process android process acore has stopped unexpectedly" USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...
1) Using Settings go to your manage applications, you will find some Contacts (Contact Storage 2.2 or Contacts) you can also do this with Titanium Backup under “Backup/Restore” tab). Click clear cache/wipe data. This will clear all your contacts (all your data) so make sure these are backed up.
2) Install/use ClockWorkMod. First back up all your data TB is the choice. As I understand this will only be done once in the lifetime of the gtab. In CWM>advanced>choose “Partition SD Card”> choose 2048 for the first choice and 0 for the second choice. This will wipe your data so have it backed up beforehand.
3) Depending on your recovery, you should try wiping cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions.
4) If you can, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/ and move or rename the folder databases. The system will immediately rebuild the database and rewrite it back to that location and your process.acore should stop. (you'll need something like root explorer to do so...though you could adb it from your computer) (THIS ONE DID NOT WORKED FOR ME)
5) clearing data in the email app
6) menu>applications>manage applications>all>internet>clear cache>clear data.
7) update firmware
8) format your SD card (THIS WILL DELETE YOUR DATA)
9) use one tap cache cleaner app- wiped out all cache
10) start deleting your downloaded apps until the error message stop popping up
11) turn on > reset > press all buttons while starting including reset > do this until you start without android.process.acore (I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE-not for tablet)
12) turned off the sync, deleted the data on the contact application
13) menu->settings-> do factory reset at bottom
repower login with new gmail login & passwordmenu->settings-> data sync ->wait for circles to right of contacts, etc to stop spinning>go to market->downloads and reinstall apps
14) (in settings->applications->manage applications), did a "clear data", "clear defaults", and "force stop" wherever applicable. Then I did a "clear data" and "force stop" to "package installer", "contacts", and "contacts storage" app. (MANY PEOPLE SAID THIS ONE DID THE TRICK)
15) Facebook contacts being synced with a gmail contact. If they aren't synced they are fine but syncd with a Facebook contact causes the error. (THIS WAS A POPULAR FIX)
16) Remove Google+ 2.0
17) Cleared cache of contacts and calendar with titanium backup (MUST BE ROOTED)
18) deleting the contacts DB directory (PEOPLE SAID THIS AFFECTED THEIR ABILITY TO USE EXCHANGE)
19) used titanium backup and wiped the three contacts files, then presto back to normal
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/
20) scan with an antivirus app

Just got this on my evo3d, I found that ONE of the causes is when using Titanium Backup, I backup my AOSP system data with TB, and restored it in a sense ROM, which conflicted. A factory reset did the trick, but so would cache cleaner I believe.

I did two factory reset and cleared all cache, no luck. Im using the tab now, message pops up about every two minutes or so. Very annoying.

Hi
I have same problem, started today, after saving a contact I received via whatsapp.
I've read up about this and it seems like it can be fixed by clearing contacts cache...any concrete advice on this?
Thanks

[Q] contacts close after root droid 2

I rooted my Motorola Droid 2 R2D2 with no problem. Everything was working fine until today, I went to look up one of my contacts and it closed. The only information I have found talks about Yahoo, but I only use Gmail and my contacts are linked to my phone. I have been looking for an example of the /system/app file so I can compare it to what is currently in my file? I thought I had made a backup but I did not do a nandroid backup.

you posted like 3 times that, you couldn't get rooted
that said nothing you did, should have effected contacts
first try to backup contacts
1 are contacts synced with Backup Assistant℠ Plus: Contacts or Contacts.Google.com?
2 also backup contacts on sd card, open contacts app/menu/import/export select export to storage/ok
3 use "sms backup +", for texts and call log
un-sync google account(s) menu/settings/accounts & sync/ uncheck contacts
then you can try menu/settings/apps/all/contacts force stop, then clear data, then reboot
if contact still not working menu/settings/apps/all/contact storage app/ force stop and clear data then reboot
re-sync google contacts, wait for contacts to re-sync

Thank you
I used the CD iso to root my phone like you advised me to do. I forgot to go back to that Thread and post that. Thank you for the help on rooting my phone. I will go through the steps that you posted and I will let you know how that works out.
I am using Contacts.Google.com.

Still cannot open individual contacts
I went through all of the steps that you provided me and when I open a contact it goes right back to the contact list. What would you suggest next?

did you wipe app data and reboot, and wipe cache?
could try wiping dalvik cache in cwm advanced options
phone will take a few mins to reboot after that
fix permissions in cwm
factory restore
or flash sbf (ezsbf for r2d2 622)

I reset the factory defaults but I still cannot add a new contact with my phone or open the information about any of my contacts. Below is a link to a list of all of the files that are in my /system/app.

I had the same problem after rooting my phone. I would try to save a new contact (all other contacts had been saved under google and back up assistant so they weren't a problem) and it would revert back to the home screen. What I did was reflash A955.2.3.4.fixed.sbf file and then run RootDroid2.bat which fixed things. I also think it is possible that I deleted too many motorola blur apps possibly messing with the contacts, either way doing this fixed it. You can find the root files in the forum..the packaged file is called RootDroid2update I think.

I had the same problem but with different rom. It fixed itself up after I cleaned phone with SD Mail Pro. Just a food for thought.

sd maid pro doesnt fix it

did you try to wipe *everything* related to you old WhatsApp installation?
Move backup to secure location. (I didn't have backup in the cloud) Go to settings - apps - whatsapp - delete cache- delete data - uninstall - delete whatsapp folder.
I also ran SD Maid Pro to clean my phone up. My SD Maid has a lot of permissions. (Settings - corpse finder - almost all categories are checked). Also you could go to TWRP and clear cache there.
After you are sure that all WhatsApp leftovers are gone, install Whatsapp again. Move backup to its folder and run the app.
It should work. I hope. Worked for me with similar issue.
If that doesn't do the trick, I'm out of ideas.
