[Q] Can't log in to Google? - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

I've got Android 2.1 running on my HD2, works pretty well aside from the occasional app crash. However, not matter what I try I can't log into my Google account. I enter my (correct) username and password, then it sits for a few minutes and comes back with "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server". Data seems to be working, I can browse the web and the maps app works ok, it just won't connect my Google account. I know we're in highly-experimental territory here, but does anyone know of a way to fix this?

I had the same problem. Make sure background data is turned on, that should fix it.

Hmm, background data was already selected. I tried turning it off and back on again, still can't log into Google. Any other suggestions?

Connect via wifi the first time while you set up and sync. After that you should be good to go on your normal data connection.

I've had this problem on DesireHD or Evo ROMs, but never on a Desire ROM.

I can't connect to Wifi either. It gets as far as "Obtaining IP address", sits there for a few minutes then reports "Unsuccessful". I can connect when booted into Winmo, so it's not a problem with the AP/password.
Maybe I'm just using the wrong Android release, can anyone suggest a good one (with download link if possible?) Thanks!

I have very much enjoyed Bangsters ROMs. They are based on Cyanogen and everything works, including accurate camera flash. If stock android is your thing then go with this.

Ah, downloaded and installed the latest Bangster, everything seems to be working properly. Thanks for all the help!

I've had this problem before, not with the Nexus One. Probably a ROM thing? because I haven't seen that problem lately when using Eclairs @@ While your downloads are frozen, launch GTalk and try to change your status. It will probably say disconnected. Launch it again to connect to GTalk, and then the downloads should resume
I can not even signin to Gtalk, it said " can not connect to server"
The Gmail working OK.

Yeah that's the problem. Launch it again. At least it should re-connect.
If it still doesn't connect, I guess the issue is server-side then.
can signin from the desktop,
do you know how to restart the Nexus One? Should I hold on the power button to restart the phone?
Holding the button can turn the phone off. Haha
I try again after it restart
still can not sign in to Gtalk.
I need go home now, thanks
still not working. does anyone else have this problem?
Do you have an android data plan with T-Mobile? If not have them add it and it should start working.
No, I use Wifi to connect to the internet.
It's the unlock nexus one.
I have a very similar issue. I was able to connect to my WPA2 network once when I first tried, but now I am unable to connect to any wireless network. The Wifi radio is on. When I go to the Wi-Fi settings window under Settings and bring up the menu to select Scan, I don't see any networks display even though I know there are multiple around (and I can see them from my laptop).
Are you still able to connect to your network and view others when you scan? What do you think could be my problem and is there anything else I can try?
yes, it can find and connect to WiFi.
the internet is working, but cannot download.
try turn wifi off, then turn it on again.
sometimes this will work
I also wonder if one could download from Nexus market place applications that was purchased from a non-Nexus market place without being charged again.

Paid apps are linked to the Google account, not the phone. You can download them again.
I ran into two problems:
1. Some paid apps may not be listed in the market for the N1. (a2b is one example.)
2. Some apps may use other licensing or activation techniques that are device-locked. I was unable to activate CoPilot Live due to this. I haven't checked with ALK to see what their policy is on device replacement.
Was there any solution to this ? I just got a Desire and also cannot connect to gtalk or download from market.
I have the same problem on my HTC Hero with market place.Can search and add download but always shows "Starting download" nothing happens other than that.Was working a few hours a go but well doesn't anylonger..All other net apps work such as web browsering messaging and email.
help..

This is a known issue, it's been there at least since Android 1.5. Can't believe Google still didn't fix it. It probably happens more frequently if you switch between 3G network and WLAN, and a lot of users with unlimited data plans don't use WiFi at all. The fix is simple, start Google Talk, press menu, log out, and start Google Talk again.
cuitao, where are you from? What provider are you using (for the Internet connection backing the WLAN)?
Since your only having the trouble on WiFi, have you checked that the ports are open on your router &/or firewall?
Port 5228 for the market - open it, but don't forward it if you have DHCP enabled otherwise if you get a new IP address next time you connect the problem will be back again

gmail app and WiFi

For some reason, my Gmail does not sync or push when I am on Wifi (all Roms I have tried so far)
Is this normal? Sync is fine when on 3g
go into settings>applications, find gmail and clear app data. that might help.
I didn't quite cover the issue...I can sync, but push doesn't seem to work right. Has been a problem on almost every version of gmail
sent from my area
is it doing the thing where you have the "3 unread" at the top of your app, but they don't show up as readable, or what?
are you rooted? backup, do a factory reset and set up gmail and see if the issue persists. if it does, then restore and try something else, if it fixes it, then just start over from scratch.
that's strange that gmail doesn't work right on wifi. it works fine for me. i'm thinking its either something with your profile, or your device specifically.
did you try clearing app data like i said in my last post?
This has been a problem with every rom I have tried - I am rooted. Never had this problem on my Droid. Push works fine on 3g, but does not work on WiFi unless I do a manual sync. Very strange. I have tried clearing the data, cache, and everything inbetween. I don't think it is a phone issue since all of my other data works fine on WiFi. Tried 2.2, 2.2.1, and even reverted back to 2.1, all have the problem. My wifi is set to never sleep, so that is not it. Also, I don't have any data settings turned off. Guess that Gmail just does not like WiFi
Been on WiFi all evening with no issues. The fact that it happens on multiple phones with multiple roms makes me think its something wrong with your gmail profile or something like that.
I'd say call VZW but they're gonna want you on an approved OS, so prolly wanna have that OTA froyo Rom handy before you call.

Looks like this is a problem for others as well...
http://androidforums.com/droid-x-support-troubleshooting/130780-gmail-app-sync-problem-via-wifi.html
I am going to see if the stock email program also suffers from this
Finally...fixed it
I wiped data and made a new gmail profile. Now my main profile is another gmail account. Then I added my normal gmail. All syncing properly. I spent about 2 hours combing through my gmail profiles on the computer and don't see anything. Oh well, working now

There is definately an issue with the institutional wifi...today I used wifi on the guest account at work and although my phone showed constant connection, I was able to see the phone get dropped continuously. It seems like these types of networks drop connections that are dormant for a short period of time
sent from my area
I'm living on WiFi only at my hotel since weds, its an institution access, so you have to refresh the connection about every 24 hours via a redirect to a confirmation page. No issues with any of my data, especially gmail. But good luck sending/receiving texts! There is literally no service in my room, and in the lobby I get 1X with no bars. It's brutal

Loss of 3g connectivity when I try and use the browser

So, I took the plunge and using unrevoked3 I rooted my HTC Wildfire. After doing so, I was looking for ROM's to toy around with and see how they worked. I found the WildPuzzleROM and flashed it using Clockmod recovery. Everything seemed to be going fine until I left the apartment and loss my wifi connectivity and tried to use my data connection to get on the internet. If I reboot the phone or turn off connections using airplane mode I am able to use apps like Gmail and Facebook fine, but when I try and use the internet icon a check mark goes under the 3G symbol and it says I have no connectivity. I tried re-flashing with the ROM again but it still doesn't seem to work. And unfortunately for me, I didn't back up my original factory ROM (if that is what you would call it) so I'm not even sure how to try and get it back to before I did this. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
I got the exactly the same problem.
I solved it by from market download and install a different browser.
In my case i download Dolphin HD internet browser.
Works like a charm
I had the the same problem, after flash 0900_orginal_framework_stock_battery_icon_v5.zip browser with 3G working!!!!:
I use WildPuzzleROM v8.0.1
reminds me a bizzare CynogenMod bug GPS disabled 3G
the solution was to the mobile network APN and remove all but one APN
(usually you use only one APN anyhow)
The browser may also ask for location which can cause the effect you described.
Thread is in weong section. This has nothing with development.

[Q] setting up google account without data?

I have a fascinate which i bought outright for use as a GPS / media player / itouch replacment and im having issues with the app marketplace...
Every time i try to set up the account using wifi it says could not establish a reliable data connection.
how can i get past this? is there some way i can trick the phone into thinking its running on a data network when its really going through wifi?
Also, every time i turn on the phone its asking me to unlock / set up the phone. i get out of this by using *#83786633 but its a bit annoying, is there anything else i can do? Its a verizon phone and im in canada, so no luck going to V. and asking them to fix it...
would putting a custom firmware on the device be of any use? i have rooted the phone, just cant download any apps through the marketplace. Is there a way to manually install apps through rooting?
My bet would be that you're not fully connected to wifi, to be getting that message. I've been using mine on wifi since I got it, and have set everything up fine. The only time I ran into that problem is when my router went out, it said I was connected but there really was no connection.
As far as the activation screen issue, no there really isn't any way around that. Its there because the phone really should be connected to a network. (And I'm not 100% sure if its going to connect to GPS without being connected to a data network? I've never tried.)
Well if I use airplane mode it turns my gps receiver off however if I use the code above it lets me use gps and wifi no problem. Hell I'm on wifi now on the phone but it won't connect the phone to my google account tho if I go to google.com it works fine.
Any ideas?
oops double post, mods plz delete this
The same happened on my Eris. Best bet is to use data to activate. Turn of syncs and then use wifi to sync. It cant be all that much data. Once your active you wont have a problem using the market and stuff over wifi. Thats what I had to do on the eris to use it as a wifi toy when i got my fas.

[Q] More WIFI problems

Hello everybody.
Yesterday night the WIFI in my Nexs 7 32th with 4.2.2 stopped working out of the blue, literally because the bars irrevocably grey and they have been like such ever since.
I tried rebooting the modern, performing a reboot on the tablet and then I did a factory reset; only to encounter the same ongoing problem.
I must mention that the WIFI works on other network. I had this problem a while back and I solved it by tweaking around with th advanced setting me menu while selecting the network, however, I completely forgot what I did and I cannot find any thread that explains the whole solution.
Thanks a lot!
UPDATE; So I kept tweaking with the advanced settings and now I can use Chrome and web browsing but bars are still grey and I cannot sign i to Google Services with my account. I cannot use Gmail, youtube or Play Market.
Nobody got any idea on how to solve this?
I even disabled the firewall on the modem with no success.
By the way my modem is a Century Link PK500
UPDATE2: So I am using a whole different router and the bars are still grey... anybody got any idea?
I csn browse the internet and use apps but I cannot connect to Google Services.
A kernel is what bridges hardware and software. Try flashing a different one.
I think I had the same problem and used it by removing my Google Account and then adding it again...
Hope I could help you

Thanks for your replies guys nobody else has stepped in to help
I might try to flash another kernel, removing the acc does not work since I already performed a factory reset and problem was still there. Needless to say that i can't remove one because there are none synced.
I can use browser and stuff perfectly, however, it says it can't establish a reliable connection to the server.
