[Q] [SYNC Problem] Google Account Problem. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hello, Im new to android world, coming from iOS since 2010
Since this morning I'm having troubles with my google account on my AT&T Galaxy S4 (i337).
It all started after I was looking for apps to download on the play store, suddenly play store started having connectivity issues so I couldnt download anything, I decided to leave it alone for like 7 hours. Now I noticied that my gmail wasn't working either!
I deleted my account to add it again but I keep getting the same error trying to log in [ Please See Attached Screenshot ].
I am running on Stock 4.4.2
Please let me know If I need to give any additional information?
*My brother is also having the same problem with his phone, AT&T Galaxy S4 Active (i537) Since like over a month ago but with no luck.

help please cant download or log into google talk

Have rooted nexus one with cyanogen 5.0.2 and has been working dine but last night started playing up. Now I cannot download from apparently store gets stuck on Starting download. I am sorry if I have posted this in the wrong section but wasn't sure where to post as I am a newbie. Also have tried multiple restarts and battery pulls.
Thanks in advance for any help.

sorry forgot to add when try logging into Google talk says cannot connect to server. And am worried about doing a hard reset as it wipes phone.
what log files will you need? and what location are they?
Are you on t-mobile UK?
I'm on T-mobile UK and it works intermittently for me. It keeps on saying the connection to the server was lost, and telling me people are offline when they're talking to me.

Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server

i've just been changing a few icons on my home scree. everything has been running great, had no problems whatsoever until i tried to access the market this afternoon.
the error im getting is that i need to set up or sign into my gmail account, so i go ahead and chose sign in, then it says:
"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 it continues, call Customer Care."
ive searched all day on the net for a fix, tried unmounting the sd card, removing the sim, signing in via youtube, but nothing works.
what i have noticed is that, in the accounts settings, my gmail address is missing (samsung & regular email accounts are still there).
now, i must say that while i have been messing around with stock icons, i havent touched anything google related, or indeed deleted any apk's.
the last option open to me is a hard reset, which i want to avoid like the plague after weeks of customising my phone, even titanium restore didnt fix it
does anyone have anymore ideas what i could do?
thanks
i've had an idea, but will it work?
if i create the same account on my girlfriends galaxy ace, would i be able to transfer those account settings to my phone? if so, where are they located
i've just noticed as well, that i'm not getting any emails from my other accounts either
please....really need some help here guys
You could always re-flash your firmware to get the gmail icon and all the other settings back.I know you said you don't want to but if its disappeared then its a good way to get it back at least and with a nandroid and /or titaniun back-up its not that much work to put all your settings back.
ok, reflashing the firmware didnt work. the problem is definitely with servers as i cant add any more email accounts, all are getting server errors.
so....i ask this, what file holds this information? and if i can copy this from my girlfriends phone, will it work?
in fact, does anyone know ALL of the google apk's that should be installed, i have a feeling one is missing/corrupted
surely someone on here must know the answer to my last post??
I was having data issues with many different modems on my carrier but found today that KE7 modem solved my problem with solid download/upload speeds. worth a shot.
Have you frozen something or deleted something with titanium that you shouldn't have?
Try calling your operater to check if you have connection problems or not.After all the warning did say to call.The fact that it just happened suddenly is quite surprising and re-flashing should have put back everything that was missing.
Hi Taco1916,
Did you find a solution? I have exactly the same problem and I've tried all suggestions without success.

PlanetP,
I actually have a similar problem, and I see that you are also using China Unicom. I arrived in Kunming from Hong Kong last Sunday, and ever since Wednesday, Gmail suddenly stopped syncing, and Market does work. Market gives me the "no connection" thing. The weird thing is everything worked for two-three days after arriving in Kunming.
I've restored to previous nandroid backups, I've reflashed a fresh LeoMar Revolution rom (with everything wiped), and still cannot sign into my Google account..
My internet (via prepaid China Unicom data sim) and hotmail still works, XDA app, engadget all works..
I am going back to HK tomorrow, I will then find out if this is a China thing, or else...

me too,google maps, google account,all disconect from server,maybe this is really a china thing, exchange works great though, maybe later microsoft will sell a lot more wp7.5 in china,because android can not sync with google anymore
2 days later i will check again in europe
Connection Error
I have been accessing gmail/market/maps on China mobile for past 3 months ... but for last couple of days I am getting Error connecting to server message... does it something to do with China mobile connection or something to with the setting... I have wiped the mobile couple of times and installed new rom also. Even then it is not solved? any soultion
Seems like this is a problem on both networks just recently, for me, it was just four days ago.
I have been in and out of china the past three months with my s2 without problems. I wonder why we are all met with this problem.
Now that you brought it up, google maps doesn't work either. it seems to detect my location, the arrow swivels around, but the map its not displayed, just the grid.
I really hope this is a temporary thing...

I've recently (2 days ago actually) upgraded my firmware to 2.3.5 (from 2.3.3) and I'm getting the same connection error when trying to add a google account. I'm pretty sure this is related to the china firewall as all the google services work correctly ever since the day I bought the phone.
In fact, I have tried all the alternatives that you can think of: using wifi to add google account does not work, using youtube to add account does not work, using market enabler to fake my sim card provider does not work, factory reset does not work, downgraded back to my original 2.3.3 firmware does not work. The only plausible option left now is to try and add a L2TP VPN account to my phone. If this happens to work (which I'm pretty sure should) then it means china has resumed blocking all the google mobile services.
I'll keep you guys updated in a few days once I find a good vpn service provider.
UPDATE: I have got a reliable vpn service going on and am now able to connect to google services and sign in to my account. Note that you'll need to take out your unicom sim card and connect to wifi+vpn to have this work. If you have a sim card inserted, you'll have to try the youtube trick with vpn connected.
So I have proved that this is, in fact, related tol china blocking access to all the google mobile ports.
So the china firewall has blocked google mobile services before?
I never knew this since I recently switched from a hk blackberry with a roaming plan in china the past three years when I traveled in and out of china.
Do you think it has to do with this weeks anniversary?

Got the same problem after have bought a GS2 from Hong Kong.
Try Wifi/China Mobile internet but nothing works was wondering if it didnt come from my rom...
Same problem, wish I'd seen this thread early, as I 've just wiped my phone, lost **** loads of data re-installing firmware, stock rom etc, re-setting, sim card in/out, cannot try the YouTube Trick as China won't allow You Tube and still can't add the google accoutn as it says it can't establish a reliable connection.
Jesus, what the feck is going on ?, anybody got any information on whether this is actually just China ?
This was working fine up until a few days ago, I have been in Guangzhou for past 2 years, and had Galaxy S2 working fine here for last 6 months, and now this ?
Wow, that sucks for you, I feel for ya, I have since rooted my phone so I can make bootable back ups.
I am heading back to hong kong tonight, so I will update you guys tonight when I get out of the firewall.
When did this problem start happening for you guys?

Hi Chief,
For me 3 days ago, it really is a complete pain in the A$%e...
At first I thought my Data Plan had been cancelled with China Telecom, but even after re-booting, hard reset without sim and just connecting to the WiFi in the company which is obviously Chinese, it still will not add the Google Account so no GMAIL or Market Place anymore...
Still trying to see what else is shafted, but also my phone looks naff now as I cannot re-download Go Launcher EX from Market Place as cannot get on it...
That is around the same time as mine, I think I lost connection last wednesday. I hope this isn't forever, especially for you guys that are in china long term.
Had this happened before? I wonder if this is across all phones with android platform.

[Q] Nexus 4 Hangout Problem

Hey guys,
Regarding the thread that I have already posted (Unfortunately without any answers) here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41820160#post41820160
I was wondering this silly statement of; if there is any relation ship between rooting the device and not connecting to Hangout ? cuz just recently I rooted my device and I can NOT get connected on the Hangout apps (keep receiving the pop-up error in which hangout couldn't connect to Google ), tried uninstalling for a couple of times, with some other networks and carriers but still no good afterward. FYI, Messenger Plus is working though.
Any help is appreciated.

[Q] Flashed LG G2 to Lollipop, everything working except for Google Now functionality

So after 3 days of understanding how this beast works, I finally got my T-Mobile LG G2 (D801) onto Lollipop, which has been incredibly awesome so far. The ONLY problem that I'm having so far, however, is that when I tried to set up google now, it simply gave me "Network error. Check your network connections and try again." IF anyone has a remedy for this, it would be greatly appreciated.
Same problem here. What's really strange is that it only happens with one of my accounts. (my main account, of course) I have tried resetting the data on the Google Search app, removing and re-adding my account, both wifi/data and it doesn't just happen on the G2 - it also happens on my Nexus 10 and my One X, both running Lollipop, and on my old Nexus One and Captivate, both running Kitkat. In Logcat I'm getting
Code:
W/JavaNetConnection(20403): Failed to get connection status.
W/JavaNetConnection(20403): java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://android.googleapis.com/tg/fe/request
Clearly because of the fact that it works with other accounts it's a problem on Google's end - I did just get a Google Search update today.
