I have an Archos 101 with firmware 2.1.04 and I've installed the Android Market via the gAppsInstaller app. However, when I try to add a Google Account, I get this error message:
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"
I can sign into my Google account through the web browser without any problem. I've tried re-initializing the tablet, reinstalling the gAppsInstaller app, and I've also tried installing the Android Market with the Arctools app available in Appslib. And I've tried force stop/clear data on the google applications listed in Manage Applications.
Has anyone else had this problem or have any suggestions for fixing it? I would really like to get the Market and Gmail working on my Archos 101. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Same here, something must be down. Try again later...
Sucks to be us.
Ahh, ok. Just got the 101 today, thought I had borked something up. Thanks for the quick reply, I'll try again tomorrow.
Had the same issue with my droid.
My droid required a factory reset to fix this problem. According to google its an issue with the settings.db file that stores your account info.
I've been playing with my new 101 all evening trying to get it to work and have had the same results as you.
I tried rooting with z4root to delete the .db file but it doesn't work either.
su and sudo don't exist in a shell. With my un-rooted droid typing su would produce "permission denied." not "command not found."
I don't think this is a server issue... although I could be wrong. I think its an issue with the app's not being able to read or write to settings.db
"data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db" in case anyone wants to try something with it.
I also haven't had any luck connecting the thing to adb... but I'm going to try another machine not running ubuntu 10.10 as I've been reading there are a lot of issues with the SDK and 10.10 for some reason. Anyway good luck and if I find a fix I'll post it here.
Yes, I'm having the same problem! It has nothing to do with the tablets or accounts. I tried a fresh install and multiple accounts and none worked. This is something on Google's end.
Edit: @n8hack - z4root doesn't work with Archos after firmware 2.0.54.
I have the same problem too!! Help!!
Thank GOD it's not just me..
I just got my Archos 101 last night and spent hours and hours resetting, formatting, installing firmware via USB etc.. only to come up with the same results.
Anyone with some advice would be greatly appreciated.
(P.S. Thanks to n8hack for testing)
This is very frustrating. It is a problem for everyone trying to add NEW Google accounts to their tablet. People are starting to post about this over at the ArchosFans forum also. This just started to be a problem on the 14th.
I've tried almost all of the tricks I've found in forums, but none seem to help.. I'm still looking for a solution.

I have my 101 rooted.
In terminal, after i type "su" without quotes I get the # prompt (rooted w/ su access)
then I type (without quotes) "ls data/data/" and com.google.android.providers.settings is not listed.
So i try (again, without quotes) "ls data/data/com.google.android.providers.settings/" (to get a list of what's in there) and I get a "not found" error.
now either I typed it wrong, or that particular directory doesn't exist (just my amateurish guess... I'm not very fluent w/ android/linux command line at all)
Hope this helps

Would it help to revert to a previous firmware for the time being until a solution becomes evident ?
I really miss my gmail :/
Thanks for your efforts BTW. They are appreciated.
Maybe this is the cause see the post on Archosfans http://forum.archosfans.com/viewtopic.php?f=74&t=48381&p=328056#p328056

I have not had the problem myself but it sounds reasonable.
My market stopped working last night after unfixing the market to revert to the original state. I have re-fixed, tried a full reset and reinstalled gappsv5-final, tried a different (new) account, reset date/time and nothing works. If you have the market working, beware of unfixing/fixing as this is what killed mine. This is really terrible! but at least I know I am not alone.

I've got the same problem, since this morning. Yesterday, it was all ok (also refixing Market).
This morning I reformatted my device (Archos 70 It), then I downloaded Arctools from AppsLib and I installed Market. But there is no way to add Google Account to my Archos...
Some people over in the Nook forums seem to be having the same issues.
Early reports that the following works as a workaround. Dunno if it'll work on the Gen 8 devices though.

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.

Really looks like a google server issue to me.
Holy crap! I just kept restoring stuff with Titanium Backup and POOF! I got this thing.
The last time I tried it, I disabled WIFI, and restored my data for G-Talk, Market & GSF. Rebooted, accepted the location dialog, and turned on wifi. Now it works!
There is a fix for this in the Gtab forum. Just install market enabler and fake t-mobile NL (thats what i used) might work with other operators. I had tryed all day on my AdventVega. I just did this and it worked. Thanks to the guys in Gtab forum. Its the sticky thread
I tried using the market enabler app, but all I get is a "Houston we have a problem" error message when I try to fake any provider.
Thanks all for the suggestions..
Youtube method doesn't work
Time and Date are correct
Market Enabler didn't work
I'll try restoring with Titanium.

If you have a good Titanium Backup, restore Accounts, Google Services Framework, Market and Google Talk. REBOOT before attempting to access the Market.
I was able to get mine working this way, I was then able to modify my build.prop and gain access to all apps (finally!!).
Any solutions for non-root users (i.e., those without market enabler or titanium backup)? I really hope that we non-root users are not locked out forever.

Guys,
Are any of you experiencing difficulties getting into AndroidForums?
I'm finding it's been down for quite some time this morning.

Yep, me too. Can't get onto phandroid either (think it's the same site)
Looks like their DNS is hosed. Who knows what else.
Its up now; but seems to be very slow.
still down for me
Still no luck here either.
Strange thing just happened though when I clicked on a save URL to the site...It prompted me for a user name and password immediately.
Very weird!!

I'm glad to see this thread. I got locked out since about 8:30 MST last night and saw that enter username/password thing. Scared me so I x'd out of the tab but still can't get into their forum today. Sucks that they were hacked. Why do people do that?

Yes, they are still having problems. Was working fine earlier but just tried again & get the following message :-
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare getHostName() in /home/arrowbe/public_html/neverstill/openx/www/delivery/afr.php on line 207
Hopefully will be sorted soon.
The site's back up and running.
I asked this question on stackoverflow but it's getting (literally) no views for some reason so I'll repost it here.
hxxp://stackoverflow.com/questions/3321047/search-suggestions-fail-in-2-2
(new users can't post links)
My application uses in-app search, dynamically builds search suggestions on each request, puts them in a MatrixCursor and returns the suggestions to be displayed. Info on search suggestions here:
hxxp://developer.android.com/guide/topics/search/adding-custom-suggestions.html
This works perfectly fine in 2.1-update1, but when I loaded it on a 2.2 phone, I get a fatal error when I try to search. The error logs are in the link, but basically the application is getting an error in code that isn't mine (Google Android code for displaying search suggestions - SuggestionsAdapter). For some reason it's trying to get the MatrixCursor to Long.parseLong() a String, and the application is failing. Again, this does not happen in 2.1. I hope I've just overlooked something stupid.
Thanks!
Ran into this Pandora app that has a transparent widget. I installed it and placed the transparent widget in my homescreen. When I tried to run it though, I got the ff. error:
Unexpected JSON error occurred: Value <body><html><a of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject while StartupAsyncTask

So I thought, oh maybe because it's a modded Pandora app. I'll try the original from the Market. I did. Got the same error.
Next I thought, maybe it detected that I'm not from the US (I'm from the Philippines). I followed the instructions shown here, which worked for me before. But now, I still got the same error.
Any ideas, guys???

Search the forums and you'll find the Nook Color specific Pandora apk. If you don't find it, shoot me a PM and I can pull it from mine tomorrow and upload it for you.
JSONObject Error Pandora
Just installed Pandora on new Samsung Galaxy S 2 Android phone and get the following error when trying to start it, "Unexpected JSON error occurred:Vaule <html> of type java.lang.String cannot be converted to JSONObject while StartupAsyncTask"
I have uninstalled it and moved it from phone to SD card, cleared data and same error occurs.
Any ideas
did you intend to post in this forum. It is for a different device.. just trying to help you get an answer..
I have Rooted a new NST with 1.1 and SalsichaNooter. Only issue: when trying to register YouTube my channels I get the "network 401" error. I have logged in on several different networks with different ISPs. No Joy. I did Run the SalsichaNooter a second time to see if there was a difference, but everything is the same. Has any one solved this issue. I have seen it reported in several places but not found any solutions. Thanks.
401 Error solved
I have re-rooted using the Clock Work Mod (CWM) from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1346748
At first i could not get a boot from the "Boot" SD I had created then I recreated the image on the SD using WinImage (instead of image writer) and made a point to select "Restore Virtual Hard Disk Image" to SDcard.
After that all went well. Still had the 401 network error, but pressed on through all the steps as instructed and all is well. YouTube app no longer works but I know I can re-install if needed but cant watch vids on this device any way.
I want to emphasize that the Gapps will not sync until after final zip is installed. The directions already say that but it could be clearer for us poor souls wondering what we are looking at.
Thank you for your work on this root. Glad to be able to add some basic function to the little reader.
Other Issues I have, Original browser Force closes and Calender app has the SD card installed image super imposed across calendar. Weird.
Running many apps including Office Suite.
I got the dreaded error 401 on two different Nooks while walking through the rooting process. Turns out it has nothing to do with the network or wifi, this is what finally worked for me.
"Go to YouTube on a computer, sign in with google account details and set up a user name for the account".
So basically an incomplete you tube profile.
At one point I got an Network 400 Error (does that mean I only have 399 to go?)
This was solved by logging out of you tube on all machines and completing the steps on the nook to complete rooting.
Hope this helps someone, I would post to the dev forum in the salschia and other root threads but can't
The 401 error is related to the "Wait a day" issue with Market, no one is quite sure what causes it, only that usually it clears itself up within a day and since youtube becomes useless after this without a reinstall (and frankly on e-ink with no sound youtube is pretty useless anyways) all that's left is waiting a day for Market to work.
I was always able to use market search right away after the root finished - I admit I ended up using the manual process or the clockwork mod method to root.

Hey all,
running CM7 (in particular this), and have always experienced these random reboots since I rooted/ROM'd etc.
I have worked out it is to do with 3G/4G data connection and/or swapping back to 2G to save battery or something along those lines. I have tried different radios, but not other ROMs (dont particularly want to change ROM).
My question is, is there a log file or some sort of diagnostic i can run to see exactly the cause so i can better find a fix/report the bug?
Cheers.
Ye, just write su than logcat > /sdcard/logcat.txt in terminal emulator this will save the logcat to the logcat.txt file, you can than copy that to your pc and see what happened before the reboot.
I'm going to try and provide a log too. Problem is, I usually only notice it after a while, when I take my phone and see that it has rebooted and waiting for PIN.

Thanks man, will do this very soon and post my log (if thats ok? and if there isnt anything personal in there)
EDIT: Holy c***. its 14,500 lines of code... what should I be looking for?
I have found there are several errors relating to GTalk (which i never/cant use). I didnt realise I hadnt Frozen this with Titanium Backup, so I have done that now.
I was also getting errors relating to sqlite and the Market, but not sure this is causing any reboots as yet, the error was as follows:
Code:
I/Database(12351): sqlite returned: error code = 0, msg = Recovered 8 frames from WAL file /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/databases/downloads.db-wal
I will see if I get any more reboots and let everyone know, but I suggest freezing GTalk as a start if you are getting reboots.
FWIW the culprit in my case was SKYPE

Really! Interesting. Did you uninstall or freeze?
Also, I can tell you that freezing GTalk definitely has reduced the number of reboots, but not eliminated it. I have just tried uninstalling Skype (I never use it anyway) as wintermute000 suggested, and will follow up again in a few days.
Uninstalling Skype has greatly helped. Thanks wintermute000!
No worries. I just run skype when I need and exit fully when done, no need to freeze or uninstall

You can redirect stdio (will increase logcat events):

sometimes dmesg it's useful too...
