[Q] Failed to add google account - Nook Color General

I was happy with the NF, and added all the gApps after installing it. It worked fine. However the contact.apk was missing, so I reinstalled NF using CWR.
After that the contacts was back but since then I can't add google account after gApps are added. The "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error showed up every time.
I tried to reinstall NF, back to stock 1.0.1 and NF again, changing the time, delete settings.db, or even the YouTube trick. All of them don't work.
Any suggestions to solve it?
*update*: Youtube trick worked:
1. Go to youtube.com and sign up for a new account, using the email address you want to add to your phone
2. Open the YouTube application on your Adroid phone, sign out of your account if you're currently signed in (menu button -> sign out)
3. Sign in-menu button-my account, log in with your EMAIL ADDRESS (not your YouTube username)
4. Now You're all done - you can sign out of the account in the YouTube app again if desired. Go to Settings-Accounts and you should see your account in the list.

Market is not working anyway...

Getting the same error after installing Nookie Froyo v0.6.7 to SD, and adding the Gapps (per the nookdevs.com wiki), try to add account/Google results in "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"
I can surf web, use the Facebook and Youtube apps.

Google's Blunder
Search google for can't establish reliable data connection change the options to 'latest' and it looks like this one's on google. I just flashed my firmware for my elocity a7 and got the same error all last night and this morning when trying to sync my google account. Hold fast, daylight will break soon. . .

update:
The YouTube worked when I try to add "@gmail.com" after my username.
However, the Market gives me a "A Server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." error message and I can't get in. Contacts and Gmail is now working though.

Im having the same issue.
Picked up my Nook Color yesturday evening, I've booted Honeycomb off the SD card and then used HoneyGApps.v2 to install Market and a bunch of other apps.
However I get the following error when attempting to add my Google Account:
"Cannot Establish a Reliable Data Connection"
Tried a few things like clearing app cache and rebooting but I can get around this issue.
Anyone have any ideas for what I could try? Im connected to a strong wifi connection so its not a connectivity issue, I can browse the net no problem.

Signing into Youtube with your gmail account username/password gets you logged in, but it looks like a Google network server is down now, so still no Market access

It's Google's problem after all?
I used a WHOLE DAY trying to fix it...(censored)
you sure it's Google's server down?

I opened the Youtube app and tried to sign in.
Even though I haven't "setup" a youtube account before... I used my Gmail address I was trying to add to my Nook. Youtube signed me in.
I went back to Settings -> accounts -> Accounts & Sync.. it gave me a black screen that was there for about 20 seconds. Then I got the "add account" screen with my GOOGLE account listed. When I opened it, it had nothing listed. Then, Calendar showed up. As I sat there, Picassa Web Albums, contacts and Gmail later appeared and started synching.
The sync of those items took about 20 minutes. (I did uncheck picassa).
Trying to open Market, I now get "a service error has occured" so I tried...
Code:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market
Clear Cache then Force Stop -- DO NOT clear data
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Google Services Framework
Clear data then Force Stop
Reboot
It didn't help.
Also, I notice my browser seems a little slow, and while the facebook app runs, it takes a bit to load up... And when I launch the Gmail app, it shows about have the screen worth of mail, but I see the "loading conversations" at the bottom of the screen for about 5 or more seconds

I just turned my Nook on this morning to find that I can now add my Google account and open the Market. (Morning being 7.50am UK Time).
Must have been a glitch or a few reboots required....

@dhumpherson, what issue did you have previously with adding your account? Was it after you click ont he android robot (right at first screen) and attempt to enter your gmail account? That is where i cannot have success. I did enter into gmail before rooting, and i've read that may be an issue and i need to get rid of the data saved from that login, but i haven't located instructions yet for that.
If you had been unable to login at that initial screen but found an answer please let me know what you did. *If i enter an incorrect password the continue interface will tell me this, so it knows i'm entering the correct one when i do, but it just returns me to the login page, after the display blinks.

[Q] Android Marketplace not loading

Hey all,
I've been dabbling with the XAndroid releases here and have got the XDANDROID.2.2.AOSP.25.07.10 working on my HTC TD2.
However, I'm trying to access the Marketplace and everytime I tap to load it, a white screen comes up for a couple of seconds and then disappears again, showing the desktop (or apps menu) and there's no indication of anything having loaded or working.
I can do this repeatedly without having to reset my HTC; same thing happens each time. There is no error message.
Anyone have any idea or tips or could I be missing the actual Marketplace app? Or should I use a different ext2?
Thanks all.
I upgraded my system with the latest build yesterday (setup is here), and I had the same problem.
I also found out that my Google Account had been removed from the sync setup.
However, after I rebooted I did get a Google Account prompt when starting Marketplace, and after entering my login information it launched without a problem.
Maybe you could also try adding your Google account to the phone?
My mistake,
It's not working for me either after all. I replaced the system.ext with the one from 2.2 beta 2 and then it worked.
I've got the same problem as you:a white screen shows for a few seconds, and then the home screen shows.
Also, as I stated before, my google mail sync account has been removed, and I can't seem to re-add it. When I go to Gmail I get a message that the account has not been configured for auto-sync. Menu > Refresh doesn't do anything. Menu > Accounts shows "Gmail, 0 accounts". The Add Account button displays a black screen with "Add an account" at the top.
try delete the data.img file

Thanks tommy1994.
Now working perfectly. (Just for others, I decided to update to the latest release too.)

[Q] account not configured to sync - then crashes

Newly rooted NC. When I select gmail I get "This account is not configured to sync automatically. Pres Menu> Refresh to sync mail once. Or press Home and touch Settings > Accounts% Sync to configure....:"
When I refresh it does nothing.
When I press Home Settings there is no Accounts Sync
When I press the other menu option (to the right of the center arrow)and select accounts I see the account - when I press menu again to see account setup it just crashes and reboots.
Any ideas?
Did you use the youtube hack to add your google account? I know that process was very finicky for me. I'm pretty sure the reason you have to use youtube to add the account is the normal account management stuff doesn't fully work (which is probably why it crashes for you). I borked it all up the first time I tried it, ended up unrooting and starting over carefully following the nookdevs dot com tutorial for rooting. 2nd time worked like a charm although I'm not sure what I did differently.
Just tried to re-root after the 8x thing, got stuck in boot loops. Tried the fix for that and I seem to have bricked it, back to BN if I cant find a fix
Good Luck with the store...
I'm not familiar with exactly how your nook is acting but it's very hard to "brick" your NC. If you have no luck at the store be sure to browse around this forum more.... most likely the answers you need are already here
What is the Youtube hack to add a google account? I am having similar issues with gmail. It's not auto syncing at all and when I manually sync, it crashes. Thank you.

Google account sign-in error

I'm on MoDaCo r12, and it has worked flawlessly thus far.
All of the sudden Google Talk started telling "Google Talk authentication error", and it keeps playing the notification sound at random and sometimes very often. Additionally Gmail has stopped synchronizing without any notice. Not a single error message!
I have never seen this strangeness in the two years of messing around with Android. Settings -> Accounts and sync sometimes tells me that "Sync is having problems and will be back shortly", but mostly it just doesn't work without telling me about any errors.
The log shows lines like these:
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1373): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}
Sometimes there will be methods listed in the curly braces, but mostly not.
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1406): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {googlelogin=WWW-Authenticate: GoogleLogin realm="http://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin", service=""}
I have tried wiping /cache, re-flashing the ROM image, clearing data in any apps I think might be related to Google services. E.g. Google services framework, accounts, account and sync settings, Talk, Gmail, Market...
I have even tried changing the Google account password twice. The phone notices it and accepts my new password like it normally would, but the issue remains.
This is a @gmail.com account. I have a Google Apps account on my phone also, and that one works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to wipe everything and start fresh, but first I would like to know if anyone has any killer tips on to get rid of this. I'm thinking there might be a cached cookie/auth token or something somewhere that's causing this.

That's not it I'm afraid. Using ClockSync, so it was only off by about one second after a reboot just now. I tried fix permissions in despair, but to no avail.
As noted above, my Google Apps account works fine, it's just my gmail.com account that doesn't work. Somehow it seems that Contacts and Calendar are sync'ed. Meaning the time and date of last sync on those are a few minutes ago, but Picasa is dated two days ago, Gmail yesterday.
I checked it on my Nexus One too; it pops up the password prompt (because I changed my pass) and then goes on to synchronize everything perfectly fine. Wtf could cause this! I haven't really done anything but read Twitter, Facebook and some RSS via Pulse before it stopped working. I only updated a couple of apps that is not related in any way and have not changed any system settings.
Fcuk it, I wiped it all and restored apps with titanium backup. All good now.
Hi, i to have a problem with Google account sign in but its with Play store, every time i try to use Play store it asks me to ether use an existing Google account or make a new account even though i have a Google account set up on my phone. So my question is how can i get back on to Play store with my Google account? Tried by removing my account from my phone then going on to Play Store and signed in with my account but when i tried going back to Play store again it asked me to ether make a new account or use an existing account.
I guess its becoz in some parts of the world youtube services has been shutdown and it as affected google services communication badly. I live in pakistan and here we cant access to google play and other google services as well.

Once had the same problem and until I realized I had an error with my baseband, I pulled out a lot of my sparse hair.
Make a good backup and try to flash new bb, then Google will recognize you again (I hope!!!!)

[Q] Google account sync error - "Sync is currently experiencing problems..."

[Q] Google account sync error - "Sync is currently experiencing problems..."
Hi guys,
I'm having issues with my Google account sync.
Google Play Music is causing my account to have a sync error.
I get the error message:
Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And there is a sync icon with an exclamation point (!) by Google Play Music, when I press into my Google Account in Settings.
It's been like this for a few days now and I feel it's affecting my battery life, as the failed sync re-tries again and again.
Some forums have suggested disabling 2-step verification, removing the Google account and then adding it back, clearing app cache, etc.
I've done it all with no success.
For what it's worth, if I un-check the Google Play Music sync box and run the "Sync Now," sync all, their are no errors and the UI shows a successful sync icon.
I'm not sure what's going on here.
Thanks,
-Donnie

Try removing your Google account and then add it back. That sometimes fixes it.

I just came across your post from a Google search and thought I would post my solution. This literally happened to me today out of nowhere(never had a problem before) and it totally stumped and frustrated me to no end. I tried cache reset, factory reset, all that bulls**t and it didn't work.
This is how I finally got sync to work:
>>login into your Google account from a web browser eg: google.com, play.google.com, wherever
>>in the upper right corner go to where it shows your profile info, click on your picture, and click Account
>>on the next screen click Security
>>where it says Account Permissions click View All
>>you have 2 choices: you can revoke access on everything you see or just extra devices. Personally, I had 4 Droid DNA's and 4 Nexus 7's listed from where I've done factory resets or ROM installs and I had to reauthorize my Google account. All I did was revoke access for the ones that said "no activity in the past 60 days". Within seconds Google Play was already auto-updating apps on my phone, I couldn't believe it.
This may not work for you but it's how I got it to work. Good luck.
Google looks to be having issues today so I would bet that's the problem

Cant sync my outlook account

I've had this lg g4 for about two hours now and i have been unable to get my outlook email account to sync. previously on my lg g3 it was as simple as just logging in and it would sync however now on my lg g4 it wont even allow me to add the email account. starting from a factory reset i go into the email application and select Microsoft exchange. from their i attempt to log into my account. then it tells me its checking auto info then after a couple seconds it says in a pop up. setup incomplete. cannot connect to server. check network connection and info, then try again. ( i have tried doing it on my data network and on my wifi both give the same result) then it brings me to the manual setup ( server address domain etc) ive googled and searched and tried different ports and server addresses to no avail and i am dumbfounded as to how i am supposed to sync my account to my phone. another perplexing thing it seems is that even the outlook app from Microsoft on the play store gives me the same behavior saying it cannot reach the server and using exchange services apk. gives the same behavior (gave me error code: status 110). the other odd thing is that i can make it sync just my outlook mail (using pop?) however not my calendar contacts etc. any ideas?
my g3 never exhibited any of this behavior.

1) Did you try setting up exchange email from settings>accounts&sync and then add account and pick exchange? This is how I did and it is working just fine and I can sync my calendar + email.
2) Did you update built in LG Apps? Settings>About phone>Update center> App Updates and see if there are any updates(there is an exchange app which will also be updated)

1) Are the APN settings correct and selected under settings>more>mobile networks>access point names?
2) May I assume that you have data connection if not using WiFi? - you did indicate that you tried both, but just wanted to make sure.
3) Also set up exchange server could have some outage and it isn't the phone's issue. Keep trying, because it does work on my phone.

1. the apm settings are correct and im connected to tmobile lte.
2. ive tried using both the wifi and straight data connection
3 Oh thank god it finally worked apparently it was an outage ( would have been nice to have been told it was) i just got it to connect.
thank you for taking the time to try and help me!
Try to reboot your phone maybe
We have Office 365 at my workplace. When I punch in my email in the Outlook app, I just get: "There was a problem accessing the site. Try to browse to the site again." It was working prior to rooting.
Are you using 2-step authentication? If so you need to use and Create a new app password from your security and password settings under Account Settings on the MS site. This is if you are using the regular email app vs the Outlook.com app from MS.
NM. See you got it working and was outage related. My bad.
Glad the OP was able to get this resolved ... I too use exchange for work and simply wanted to share my preferred exchange email app.

It's a bit pricey, but man is it leaps and bounds better than any other app I've used! Great support from the developers too!

G4'ed it!
