Cannot connect to any Google apps! - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So as the title says, I cannot connect to any of the Google apps such as YouTube, Google+, and the Play store. These were all working just a couple days ago, and I would appreciate any troubleshooting tips. Some of the apps, like YouTube, will connect, but have limited functionality. For example, I can connect to YouTube, and I can play videos, but I cannot like, subscribe, or do anything that requires an account. Also things like Gmail and Google+ will load, but I cannot get any new posts/emails
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

It sounds that google app data doesn't sync. Go to settings accounts your google account and make sour that app data is checked. Maybe that's your problem.

Well, I went there, and saw that the app data was already checked. There was a message at the bottom telling me that "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Any other ideas?

Have you tried forcing a sync of every single item? Removing and re-adding your google account? Those might do the trick. Also make sure your play store and play services are fully up to date.

[Q] google music not syncing?

so i got my google music beta invite last night and i was all excited. i got all of my music (about 1,300 songs) to sync to google and i'm able to see all of my music and play it from the cloud on a pc via web browser.
i have the updated version of google music on my transformer and it opens up and i've connected it with the correct gmail account. the problem is that none of my sync'd music is showing up. i've hit refresh, i've messed with the settings and unchecked/checked things but i've got nothing except for the 4 albums that come on the transformer. what's the deal?
i know its the right gmail account, and i know the music is in the cloud and i can play it...just not from the transformer. any tips?
I was having the same problem, and this is what worked for me. Go into SETTINGS, click on ACCOUNTS AND SYNC. Under manage accounts, click on your google mail account, and click on SYNC MUSIC. After a few minutes, your music should show up. Another person had to downgrade their music app, and then update again. Hope one of these works for you!

that did it! thanks a lot!
seems to me Google should put this in the troubleshooting or instructions page. i turned my auto sync off last week to save battery life, so i guess if i have it on, then my music would've shown up with no problem. still....

Mine doesn't either. I just got the 3.1 update the other day and it won't let me install from the market because it thinks it is already up to date.
No music sync option under my account either. Anyone else have any ideas?
Your google account has to be approved for the beta before the sync option will show up in the account setttings.
Try installing it from the Market on your PC (market.android.com). I dont know if its a bug for everyone or just people runnning cyanogenmod, but it wouldnt sync or even give me the option to until I went to the pc front end and installed it. Hope this helps anyone reading this in the future.

Google Play Music All Access on MOTOACTV

Has anybody been able to get Google Play Music All Access running on the MOTOACTV? I've manually installed the latest .apk for Play Music, but when I got to Settings > Select Google Account, no accounts are listed.
Ideally, I'd like to connect to All Access while I'm on WiFi and select a few playlists for 'make available offline' so I can listen while outside running. I already do this with Spotify, but I'd like to be able to use Google.
Thanks.

Which Rom are you using? How'd you install it? Are you signed in to Google Play?
Glad you asked, ClearD. Why, I'm using the best ROM available: ClearDroid ACTV 1.1.9 T5. :good:
I installed Google Play Music by using the Play store on the device itself (and using the market search app included on the ROM).
The Google Play store shows it's associated with my account, and I have what I believe to be the latest version of Google Play Services.
Version info for each if it helps:
Play Store: 3.9.16
Google Play Services: 3.1.59
Play Music: 5.1.1106
When I open Play Music, it asks for me to select an account, but none are listed.
Thanks.
I wonder if an older version might work? I seem to remember someone using an older one a while back...

Hi all,
I have actually had Google Play music indeed work! The default DPI setting is too large to show your account listed, so I changed the build.prop to 90 and used a rotation control app to show more of the application. In the settings, chose account, you then can see a add new account and also a space where your account would be listed. After a little wild clicking in the area, you should be set up to go.
An alternative I first played with was during the initial setup of the motoactv on a new rom, side loading the play music apk and adding your existing Google account through the app before any others.
*an issue* what I've seen is that the first play of any library song works great, even over Bluetooth tethering of the phone. However, something is amiss with caching. the second time listening to the same song, the motoactv will say it plays but no sound will play. Deleting the cache will make the song work again? I've tried both installing on SD and internal with no difference...

Thanks, barczakmark, that worked for me! As for the multiple plays of the same song caching problem, I don't seem to be having that issue.

Hello, didi you manage to get google music login working ?
I get the same "unable to connect to the server to add the account" error.
No, I never figured it out.
I never got it working and never got a reply on here that helped so I ended up reverting to the original set up.
Actually the original set up makes the device more functional for me. I use mine for exercising and running and having to navigate solely by that small touchscreen is near impossible.

HELP. Error 927 from the Play Store

Hey guys. Cam someone help me figure out a fix for error 927 in the play store. It won't allow me to update or download any apps. Some times it will work but man its driving me nuts. I Googled it like crazy and none of the "fixes" i find work. I talked to Google support today and that was a huge waste. I created and new Gmail and bam all is good but the biggest problem is of course all my paid apps are attached to my original Gmail. Does anyone know of a real fix or am i just out all the money I've spent in apps since 2009?

Wow that is weird if it is tied to your account specifically. Let's narrow it down to see...
Update apps on different network connection. Try both 4g and over WiFi/secondary WiFi. Does error still occur?
Force stop Play Store, Google Services Framework, and Google Account Sync. Uninstall Play Store Updates, and clear data within each app/service. Reboot the phone. Does error still occur?
Remove your account entirely from your phone and add a different account, reboot phone. Does error still occur?
If you have 2 accounts setup make sure you choose the account tied to those apps in the play store. Sometimes it defaults to the last one you added.

[Q] DeleteGoogle account

I'm not using Gmail anymore, and I'm wondering what happens if I just delete my Google account in Settings/Account. Would I still be able to use the Playstore, for example, so I could just download the Google apps I want?
Welcome
This has been my experience - without a google account, none of the apps that require Google Play Services will function correctly or may fail to sync. Play store, play music, hangouts, keep, gmail, calendar, contacts, wallet, drive etc. The phone should function fine otherwise. Some people prefer to use their phone without a google account and are willing to give up the convenience of their services.

i have been thinking about this too, with kitkat it was easy to disable location service which helps with battery life, and now it seems like google is accessing my info more often, . the only google service i use it its maps,contacts and calendar but from that thread above you there is a homebrew alternative.

Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Are there any good alternatives for email service? Not a fan of Yahoo, Live/Hotmail, AOL, what else is there?

I can't log in to my google account

Hello
My Axon 7 arrived from China today, but it has big issue. I can't log in to google account, it stucks at "checking data" window. Can't use playstore, gmail, install apps... Internet connection is ok, checked everything except rooting. Maybe someone could help here?

Not sure but does the Chinese version even come with google apps? I thought google apps are blocked in China and don't come pre-installed.

yes there are google play, gmail...
OK, this is getting old now... After installing google play services, gmail and play store you need to go to mi-assisstant. Open the autorun section and tick all the above. You should be able to then log into your google account BUT it may take 1/2 hour to an hour before you can use properly. You will be prompted to update google play services when you try to start gmail. Until google recognises and registers your phone this will get an error when trying to update. try it about 30 minutes after you try to do it the 1st time and it should update as well as all the apps you installed. Contacts WILL NOT update...
