Google Accounts, Unfortunately Settings has Stopped. - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have Intl Version of Note 3 LTE, Rooted on normal firmware, Nothing Special.
Recently i lost many contacts and after searching i found that it is related to my google account, each time i go to Settings-->Accounts-->Google i get "Unfortunately, Settings Has Stopped"
Here is what i tried so far.
1- Cleared Cash and Ram--------->No Result
2- Clearing Settings Data and Cash------>No Results
3- Updating all apps from store then repeating 1 and 2 ------No Results
4- Cleared cash and data of (Google Play Services and Store) then Same to Google Account Manager and disabling it, Deleted (Sync Folder and accounts.db & Accounts.db-Journal from Device/Data/System)---->Restart--->Enable Google Account manager, I manager to delete google Account, when i set it up again the whole problem came back.
5-Tried in Safe mode.
I cannot access it to sync contacts or anything related, I cannot factory reset as i shall loose my whatsapp data since i moved to another country and my old sim is deleted)
Please help ASAP

The problem is because u moved to another country. Try to use Market Unlocker and set to ur original country.

Hi! I had this same issue and it was irritating the bejesus out of me. I didn't find a fix but I found a work around to get into the account sync settings: open your stock gallery app, hit your menu key, click settings and bam you're in. I hope it works for you as well!

Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via XDA!!
the only think i unistalled is moximail thats it.
edit.
fixed my problem
thats what i did
this one requires you to go to the Application Settings (Menu — Settings — Applications — Manage Applications) and clear the data in Google Talk, Google Mail, Market, Google Apps, Download Manager and IM.
then i creat a new googlemail acount and done every thing works fine.
yeah i done this and it worked, tho didnt need to create new account, found this on android forums
i have xperia x10
First back up ur phone numbers
now go on ur pc and log on to ur google mail account
once logged on goto settings
now goto accounts and import
where it says send mail as, switch to @gmail.com (you need to switch ur address to gmail or googlemail )
once you have changed your mail address log out
on your phone goto settings, applications,manage applications and you need to clear cache on the following
google talk, google mail, google apps, market, download manager
turn phone off and on again and goto google talk and log on ur new google address(@gmail.com) once you have done this try downloading a app from market( if you have apps downloading pending cancel and restart.
this is what i did and it worked for me, no factory reset needed
hope it works good luck

Android Market auto - installing apps from older build

Hello guys
I've been trying few builds of android and install apps from the market.
When switching to a new build, I link my phone with a googlemail account so all the contacts are restored.
Unfortunately also ALL the apps are sync, downloded and installed aswell from the market, without asking me anything. I do not want this to happen.
This happen everytime, no matter whichever build I was using.
Searched first in google, then in xda but didn't find anything. Does it happen only to me? xD
has anyone got a solution?
thx
I don't know how to get rid of this problem, but it's normal, so you're not the only one. The apps you have downloaded in the market are safed in your google account, because some people have purchased apps and don't want to buy them again..
ok
fair enough then.. cheers
Hmm.. Maybe there is a solution. I never tried, but it may work.
After setting up your phone (the first thing you have to do when you boot a new build) go at first to settings > Accounts & synchronization. Sorry dunno how it's spelled in Englisch, using my phone in German There go to your Google Account and remove the ticks at contacts, mail and calendar. Then go to your market and accept the license agreement.
It could be that the market now doesn't install your apps because you don't sync your google account anymore. But if you're using this account for mail and so on this is no option, will see if I find another possibility.
Edit: Found another solution that worked for other users. In a German forum they told you have to skip the setup at the beginning, go directly to settings > SD-Card & Telephone Memory (something like that) and do a factory reset. Then boot again and the market won't install anything. If this doesn't work try to set up your phone at the beginning and do a factory reset then.
That's all I've found. Now I'm out. Tell me if it worked
Cheers

I realised that it only installs the programs that you had installed in the last build.
Therefore all the apps I removed won't sync..
I probably had a bug in my last build that blocked google to complete sync.. damn xD
However my internet is not that fast as I live in the middle of farms & field, so I'm gonna download all the .apk from internet; then I will put them in the folder Android Apps and the new build just install them on the first boot.
But thanks for your research, I may use it later on.. you never know.
Cheers

turn off Google backup, in settings as well as when FIRST setting up Android after hitting the Android on the first screen. One of the few first things is Google Backup, for apps and bookmarks. Disable this.

[Q] Unable to install any app

I began having an issue earlier today with Google Play where I got an unknown error 110. I thought maybe it was just bad connection, but I still had the issue on WiFi. I looked around for about an hour for solutions, and found two common and relevant fixes - clear Google play cache and factory reset. I tried the first and there was nothing to clear. I then tried to install a 3rd app and it failed to open the .apk. I also made sure my phone allowed unknown sources, and my settings crashes every time I hit security. After all of this failing, I decided to factory reset, and everything is still the same, except the Google Play error is now 406 with the same effect. Is there a good way to get this fixed?
Currently using Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 with 4.4.2.

Already tried that, both before and after the factory reset. Both buttons are greyed out. I also was forced to re-add my Gmail account after the reset. Both my usual and backup Gmail accounts have the issue in the Google Play store.

I still cannot open any .apk file manually, giving the error "unable to open file". I'm not sure waiting for Google Play to update will fix this. Also what about settings->security crashing?

[N9005] Settings app crashes when clicking on Google sync options

Hi all, hope you can help me fixing this strange problem on my dad note 3.
Basically whenever you go in settings ---> general ---> accounts and click on the google account the settings app crashes instead of showing all the sync options. All the other accounts (dropbox, whatsapp etc..) work normally. The phone is unrooted and updated to latest official build.
Factory reset does fix this but after a while (my dad says when the google app is updated but he's not 100% sure) the problem is present again.
Thanks in advice to everyone will help. i'll be glad to offer you a beer
yes same issue with me. after Google play service update, it causes this issues. Anybody please help us.
Same here; tried an hard reset and it works fine, then after updating all the apps (including play services) it start to crash, so 99% depends on play services; send feedbacks to google so they will fix it

please tell me how i can contact with google to address the issue.

WOW! PlayStore won't connect, can't login! First time ever!!!! How can I ??

This is insane!
I go to playstore to check updates. It says "Error checking updates". I repeat the process and get frustrated. I clear data on playstore and go to add my account again only it brings up the side menu and when I move that out of the way, it says "try again". I hit that button and the menu slides back out! And I repeat this process and get frustrated.
So I did all the cache clearing, data clearing stuff for play, play services. I have no download manager. And still this problem.
I did not and will not remove and try to add my google account again because then I might lose access to my contacts. In fact, I haven't even checked if they still sync. If they don't, I suppose I could do that.
Other than that, what can I do?
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Lol hello again sir
Go to www.gooogle.com/contacts
From any web browser, are your contacts in place?
Guessing you haven't but reboot your phone, cycle your WiFi and see if anything prompts you to sign in or sync.
Then go to settings/ accounts / Google and make sure it's allowed and syncing, check both sync and Google
Re-open Google play and see if it's working.
Oh and perhaps change WiFi to another or test on mobile data if you don't have a second signal to use.
=) Thanx for your help. I can get contacts in a browser. I rebooted a couple times, did wifi and mobile, and nothing. It syncs everything in the account as well. I just can't use play store. I cleared data and cache on playstore and services. And I can access play from a browser; so I didn't get banned or something. It's specific to this phone, it occurred sometime after the update to the latest firmware. I'm not sure if it's related.

Only thing I can think of would be to wipe all play services, store then reinstall.
This has happened before?
First time.... What is the best way to restore this stuff on the stock ROM w/o factory reset?

So you can usually clear data on all Google services.
But if that doesn't work then boot to recovery and just wipe system, not the whole phone.
This will mean you have to set up your phone again but your storage will remain unaffected. So images, files, music won't be touched
