had a problem with the market, created a secondary google account, this then allowed me to download the apps again as they wherr sticking at starting download.
anyway, it deleted all my contacts. i then imported.them from the memory card .vcf file. it imported names but.not.numbers to the names.
i looked in the vcf file and the numbers are with the names. any reason why it has only.copied names and not.numbers too, im back on my original gmail account. still not working!.
help pleasssseeeee cheers in advance!
also having problems wuth my original gma account. apps wont download from the market. gets stuck on starting download, i have cleared cache etc, but still wont work!
there are a number of users on the official google android forums who are experiencing problems with their downloads stalling. Some users were able to download from the market again by simply logging in and out of Google Talk. Others had to do a factory reset. I also had this issue of not being able to download from the market, factory reset fixed it for me.
Note: As of TNTLite 2.1.1 (a supplemental install to TNTLite 2.0), you no longer need to follow the instructions in this thread to get your Google Calendar and Contacts to sync with your tablet, because the Calendar and Contacts applications and the necessary sync files have now been included with the TNTLite supplemental. In order to get the sync working, though, you will need to wipe your user data in clockworkmod, so that you go through the Google account set-up process again. WIPING YOUR USER DATA IN CLOCKWORKMOD DELETES ALL INSTALLED APPS AND SETTINGS. Use Titanium Backup to backup your apps before doing this. (Data copied to the internal sdcard is not deleted in a data wipe.)
Go to this thread for the TNTLite download, and for more information:

******************************************
Old instructions, for pre-TNTLite 2.1.1:
This has been driving me insane for the past week--the gTablet with TNTLite was 90% of what I wanted, but the lack of a real sync with my Google contacts and calendar data has been gnawing at me. (The workaround of installing a Google account as a "Corporate" account in Contacts didn't work for me, because I have multiple Google calendars and that approach would only ever sync one.)
But I seem to have found out how to make it work! Alas, it requires a user data wipe, but to me at least it was worth it. Here's what I did.
* This was starting with TNTLite 2.02 along with the Tegra Fix *
First off, I backed up everything with Titanium Backup and also cwm. (You'll definitely want Clockwork Mod installed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842004)
Get the GApps v2 file, and copy it as an update.zip to your /sdcard: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=842590
Shut down, and boot into Clockwork Mod.
Wipe cache. Don't reboot.
Clear user data/factory reset. Don't reboot.
Install the Gapps v2 update.zip that you copied to /sdcard.
Reboot.
Skip the Google sign-in.
Set up your Wi-Fi.
Reboot.
Launch Gmail.
Add your Google Account (Accounts / Add Account). Break into a big smile when you see Contacts and Calendar show up as a sync option in addition to Gmail. Let them sync. It may take a while.
If you have a Google Apps account too, while still in Gmail, go back to Accounts and then Add Account, and add your Google Apps account. Break into an even bigger smile when you see Contacts and Calendar show up as a sync option. Let them sync. Go into the Contacts app, and verify that your contacts are all there. (You can use the Display options to show/hide them.)
[Strangely enough, at this point, I found out that the Calendar app was nowhere to be found on my tablet. Probably due to my screwing around before I started trying this out. I extracted calendar.apk from the TNTLite 2.00 update.zip, copied it to my /sdcard, and launched it. It installed, and there were allllll of my calendars. This probably won't be an issue for you.]
If you go into the Contacts app, you'll see under Add New Account that "Google" now appears, as does "Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync" (instead of just "Corporate").
At this point, I took a deep breath and did the Market Fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175), worried that it might somehow mess with the settings. Rebooted.
And my many calendars and all my contacts are still there, and the correct Account/Sync options are still in place as well.
Now I have to start reinstalling everything (thank you, Titanium Backup), but I've got the last piece of my gTablet puzzle.
Hope this helps other folks like me who've had this problem. It seems that the most important thing is to have the Gapps files already in place when you do the initial user setup under TNTLite. Since Gapps has an older version of Google Maps (and Street View), you'll want to update both of those in the Market. And then you'll need to do the Flash install, etc. etc.
(Dec. 1 update)
Note: If you install a supplemental update to TNTLite after doing this fix (i.e., installing 2.0.4), you're going to get the TNT Calendar back, overwriting the Google Calendar. Your data will still be there, and syncing will still work, but you'll have the less-professional-looking TNT Calendar interface. You can install Touch Pro Beta from the Market for a nicer replacement calendar.
Nice work, and well done!
How is the calendar from the GApps v2 file? Is it stock Google?

Thanks! There actually isn't a calendar in the GApps v2 file, now that I look. It's just the SyncAdapter.apk. (Ditto for the Contacts.) So actually the problem with my not having the calendar.apk may just have been from when I was screwing around trying to get things to work before I started all of this. A clean TNTLite 2.0 install followed immediately by the instructions above will probably have a calendar.apk file with no problem.
Seems we only need a few of the apks in the update to get this running. Maybe get with Roebeet to add those to tnt lite or as a supliment.

Yes, it might work to have just the two Google*SyncAdapter.apk files included in the main TNTLite install (not a supplement). They need to be there during the initial setup.

Could you post the two apk so non-CWM folks like myself can try this fix? And where would the two apk go -- /system/app or ?

You can get them out of the Gapps update.zip file, in the app subfolder (link to the file is in the original post). They would go in /system/app, but if you're not rooted, you're not going to be able to put them there. And I'm not altogether sure it would work this way, and you're still going to have to wipe your user data and cache to try. So you should just go ahead and install cwm--the link is in the OP. (You should have cwm installed anyway, even if you're not going to do this.)

Thanks. Just to be sure: which cache are you referring to?
When you speak of cache I'm thinking about settings>running application and then clear the cache of individual apps, but perhaps you're referring to something else. And if we're talking about the same thing: the app of which app?
I can confirm that this works great.
Good work!!

Exchange contacts and calendar

I don't use Exchange, so I don't have much advice, sorry to say. After the steps above, did you go into Contacts, Accounts, Add Accounts, and choose Microsoft Exchange Sync? Are you on TNTLite 2.0.2 or above, which returns to the TNT contacts and calendar apps that some people say work better with Exchange?
Also, a reminder that installing TNTLite 2.0.2 and above may cause your Google Calendar app (from 2.0 and GApps) to not work quite right, since 2.0.2+ reverts to the TNT calendar that the tablet came with. I just installed 2.0.4, and my calendar opens and the data is there, but I can't see any menus or change any views. I have calendar.apk from TNTLite saved in /sdcard, and I just launched/reinstalled, and I'm back to the regular Android/Google calendar. (Am trying to download Touch Calendar, but the market is sooooo slow on downloads tonight.)
Thank you!! Now this is a complete ROM.

After the steps above, I added an Exchange email account which automatically setup the same account in Contacts. I've verified that the Microsoft Exchange Sync is checked/enabled.
Application "Settings" is Force Closing often now. Will revert back to TNTLite 2.0.2 and play with this again later.
Thanks for the effort and I'll keep searching for an Exchange solution.

Pull it out of the TNTLite 2.0 update.zip, in the /app subfolder. Just put it somewhere on your SD card, and launch it.
I do have Settings FCs, but only when I'm closing Settings, after I'm done using it, so I haven't minded.
Argh! Didn't see this until just now -- 2.0.5???? Oh my.
Also, Touch Calendar (beta) in the market is a pretty sweet calendar display app. Not sure if you need the Google calendar apk installed as well, but give it a look. Does a great job displaying lots of entries from lots of calendars, with pinch-zoom for changing views.

I do think it would be a good addition, if you're not worn out. The real Google calendar/contact sync is a big plus, though I know you've said you don't use it.
OK... I flashed CM7.1(RC1), and also the latest Gapps...
Both of these were already on my SD card from prior to my resetting the phone back to Froyo....
SO... I am rooted (have not checked radio or simcard), but when I flashed CM7.1 and Gapps, and then rebooted.... I didn't have a market app.
So I went through the browser to an xda thread from this summer where I could download a market app. Installed it.
When launching market, it states I need to add an account-- and this is correct as I had not added a gmail/google account as of yet.
But when I go to Accounts under Settings.... It says I can setup an EXCHANGE ACCOUNT.... What is this???? I tried just entering a gmail account and my password, and it says it cannot connect to server.
What is going on...????? This has nothing to do with the market app... (I don't think).
Anybody have a clue??

An Exchange Email is for Microsoft Outlook users. It allows us to either get Pushed or polled email services.
if you cannot get the g/apps i would highly recommend wiping, flashing the ROM, then flashing the g/apps again. And it does use a specific g/apps package with 2.3 ROMS.

Thank you for your reply. After an innumerable number of hours I was able to root it (without using a USB cable.. I just switched to ADB wireless after temproot), I think I got everything the cyanogen guide is supposed to deliver... But I need to recheck in hboot.
Wow a lot of headaches. I might make a guide.

First problem:
A few days ago i changed my gmail PW. Now the android features on my phone don't work. When I'm prompted to enter my PW, i get a network connection error message. I've tried 'force stopping' the gmail, and google apps, turning 3g on/off, without any luck. Toying with this issue has been testing my patience. I'm hoping to find a solution before i perform a hard reset.
Second problem:
I've had the phone for over a year running 2.2.X CM6.X. Since 2.3.X released, I wanted to manually update to gingerbread but i keep getting the 'error 7' code. I've looked around on the forums for solutions: reverting to an unmodified build followed by 'update.zip'
Specs:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernal Version 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: Cyanogenmod-6.1.1-N1
Build: FRG83D
The phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I'm a noob with the android.
Paypal $10 per problem to the person who can get me out of this hole. I know your time is money so a little compensation is being offered. Reward yourself with a beer or latte.
Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync Settings
Tap on your Gmail account
You will see a 'Remove Account' button - Hit that
Your phone should now have no account associated with it
Do a reboot (not really necessary though)
Back in the Accounts & Sync Settings, Add a gmail account by hitting 'Add account' button
That should take care of Problem #1
Problem #2:
Get the zip from the OTA here
Boot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup
Wipe Data + everything
Wipe again
Flash the OTA ZIP you downloaded
Reboot into phone
Once rebooted, setup your Google account again
You should be back in business

Thanks for the reply chetanthaker.
1. I don't have gmail as a separate item under sync. i use the default email client for both yahoo/gmail. When i try to remove my gmail account, it says i can only get rid of it by restoring to factory default.
2. I'm not sure where the issue is but even after i did a hard reset i can't login with my google account (the one i changed my PW to) nor the new account i made to verify if the issue is with my phone or accounts. Let's say i manage to update the to Gingerbread, won't i still have the same issue logging into my G account?
1. If you say you do not have a separate Gmail account on the list, that means your phone is not really connected to Google (in it's real sense) - So forcibly closing Gmail and the other Gapps won't really have any effect. (I'm assuming when you have a data connection, your EDGE/3G/WIFI icons do not really turn green from the regular white.
When you first configure your phone, you should ideally configure your gmail account first (so you get access to Market and the other stuff as well). You can then disable Sync on Gmail and add 2 accounts in the default mail app to send/recv email.
Do a Nandroid and get rid of all the accounts (may do a factory reset)
Start with adding a google account and you should be set.
2. You will not have that problem unless you Wipe your data via recovery. All that will happen is you will start fresh with adding your primary Google account

so far i've tried the following (without success):
- removing all accounts from sync list (except the main google account which i can't remove unless i do a factory restor).
- toggle 3g/2g
- logging in with a new google account
- attempt to login via Wi-fi without SD card and/or sim card
- trying old passwords (i thought i might have been entering the wrong PW, but i verified by logging into my gmail account; i'm sane)
- holding my breath and crossing my fingers
- performing a wipe of the phone memory (still can't login with either new or old google account).
Logging into youtube (linked google account) won't work b/c im in china. Initially i thought the hiccup would be due to china's great wall, but i've used this phone here for 8 months and changed my google PW successfully in within. I'm truly at a loss.
I'm still getting emails via default email program (yahoo/gmail accounts).
The internet works
Whatsapp works
And most importantly angry birds still works.
Maybe if i can find a way to update to Gingerbread, this issue will miraculously disappear.
Hi.
Did you try removing the Email app from the Device Administrators?
Maybe that's the reason why you are unable to un-link your Gmail account
Settings > Location and Security > Device Administrators
Uncheck the Email app (screenshot) and try

i don't have the option for my email under device admin list :/
the really odd thing is, i can't log in to my TF101 either...even after restoring back to factory settings. I'm convinced its either Google or China that's punishing me.
Well, with you wanting to update, are you wanting to update to a stock Gingerbread version, or to CyanogenMod's Gingerbread version?
If it is the latter, just go download the latest version 7.1.0. The best way to upgrade is to backup all your apps and app data with an app like Titanium Backup. Then perform a nandroid backup (basically a snapshot of your current system) and wipe the /system partition and perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install CM7 and the latest gapps (found from http://goo-inside.me/gapps) and reboot the phone. Once you are in, try to add your google account back to the phone (hopefully it works with a completely blank slate). Then connect to the market and get Titanium Backup back and restore all your apps and app data.
I'm not sure if it's a default security feature from google, but 24 hours after i changed my password and it let me login to my account again...However i'm having issues logging into Gtalk.
Thanks for all your help. Now let's see if i can get it running Gingerbread!
I know others have experienced this error. No one mentions a fix. Just flashed lightspeed 4.3 and its virtually unusable without being able to download from the market. Can some kind soul enlighten me?

This self resolved after about 30 minutes of trying.
When that happened to me I deleted the market and flashed newer gapps

Before doing all that, try clearing cache and data from the Market (now called "Google Play Store") in App settings. That did the trick for me.
I had to manually select my Gmail account from within Google Play..

if you're not using Clockwork rom manager you should. I have cwm5.0 and I rooted my phone with cm9-ics and was getting a 921 error. I went and ran the "permissions fix" in CWM and everything works fine now
Permissions fix in recovery can cause its own set of problems, like borking your contacts photos, and a couple other things I can't remember off-hand. Easily fixable, but it would probably be better to target a more specific fix for the Market/Play rather than trying such a global fix. Just my opinion...
Google Play cant update apps error 921
yo,
i am running sgs2 with CheckRom RevoHD v4 and had error 921 on google play/androidmarket. restarted phone seems fine all updates worked.
jess
This error is still happening
its not a problem with your devices, i cant even see my apps on the website. its a google play glitch and is wide spread but not every device appears to be affected in the same way. very strange.
i have tryed all fixes and still the same
921 could be only CM
After installing 3.5.16 it gave me the 921 error.
I have a Moto XT701, and I use ava's version of CM7.
could this be related to CM specifically? Anyone got the error with a stock ROM?
next time it happens can you log into google talk, I remember back in the day if that wasnt signed in market would be borked
Solution
After some digging here is what worked for me:
I added my wifes gmail account to accounts and sync
I changed google play store to the new account
I checked to see if updates were working (they were)
I changed google play store back to my account
I removed my wifes gmail account (system settings > accounts and sync > select account > remove account
It is working fine now. I can update and download without error.

Hi,
I have a Navon Platinum 10 tab, ICS 4.0.4 on it. I had this error, too.
I read some alternatives for fixing google play errors, but I tired to delete my account and add acount and clear cache and so one... I resolved that by this way:
- turn on your tab device
- do not start play store application!
- in Settings-->Applications menu, on All tab search for gogle play application, and clear cahe and data too. You need to do this only once time.
- run Root Browser on your device ( if you have'n this, than download, install, or you may use Root Explorer if you have)
- find vending.apk in System/App folder
- long click on it, a local menu will appear. Chose Permissions.
- set permissons 777 for this file ( klikk on every checkbox).
- close all running apps
-restart your device, and enjoy
It works fine, Since I set this permissions, I don't get any errors from google play,
Hope, it will helps.
P.S.: sorry for my misstakes in english language
