Broken apps on S6 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6

Two apps that do not work on new Galaxy S6.
TWC TV. App loads, accepts my logon credentials, and displays the main menu. When I select Live TV, the screen auto rotates to landscape and begins to load a channel. Before the channel is ready to play, the screen auto rotates back to portrait, and I get messages that the app is authenticating my logon again. Then back to the main menu. HTC M9 users are reporting the same behavior, so the app probably needs an update for Android 5.0.2.
SiriusXM. App loads, accepts my logon credentials, and loads my saved favorites. When I select a channel, the app says "Loading" and never completes. SiriusXM support says they are working on the problem.

[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.

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

[Q] Failed to add google account

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] N1 keeps forgetting defaults & other settings

I have the N1 running CM 7.0.3. Whenever I tell a process to use a certain default, or remember another setting, for half these apps the setting is lost. E.g. I hold the search softkey to get to Voice Search, and it asks me to agree to use my personalized data. I have to do this daily.
When I open a video from Gmail, it asks me daily whether to open it in Opera, Browser, or YouTube. I check the box to have it remember, but it always forgets. Same with some other defaults. Default launcher however is remembered as being Launcher7.
Then it'll randomly forget other stuff, like my Minimal Reader widget stops displaying any RSS feeds. Another app loses all its settings. Just random occasional intermittent 'memory loss' all over the phone.
Could this be connected to installing apps to SD such as Opera Mobile or YouTube? Voice Search however is not on the SD, and that still forgets my acceptance of its personalized data.
Responded to your other post...

No Internet Connection

I am frequently getting this message when using Outlook. I have 2 Outlook accounts and I do get notification of a message but when I tap on the notification, Outlook does open but there is no new message and if I refresh by dragging the screen down the 'No Internet Connection' message pops up. Also sometimes messages that I have deleted or moved to another folder still appear in the inbox.
I just ignore it and a few minutes later the issue goes away - but that isn't much good when I know I have received an email and then can't see it
This is all with WiFi off and a strong 4G signal - I have had the issues while connected to WiFi as well
Any ideas?
Is UK 3 on your profile your current carrier? Also what ROM/version are you using?
Microsoft's Outlook app has been doing that to me off and on for a couple yrs now, it seems Microsoft applied a server side change that doesn't always work (ironically about the same time Win10 was released). At my work we've been telling people to use the built-in Email app whenever possible because it seems to accept server side changes better.
But one of the workarounds I've found is go into settings -> apps -> outlook -> force close - > clear cache -> reboot phone and that usually fixes it for a day or two for me.
Thanks, that is interesting. I do tend to suffer from a bit of tunnel vision - never thought of using a different email client!
Yes, I am still with UK 3. I did have OOS 4.0.1 and now have 4.0.2 and they both have this issue.

Google chat keeps crashing

I was able to install the Google Play Store. Every google app works except this one. Google hangouts is going away so this is the only way I can get messages from hangouts. Not sure why this app crashes on startup. It just crashes right away.
I found another workaround. It seems like chat is integrated into gmail. I tested this even on the iphone and my 2 kindle tablets and it works. Also the video icon works too which doesn't appear in the standalone version for some reason.
Go into gmail settings > tap on the account email address > then scroll down and checkbox chat.
