[Q] can't setup google account - Android Software Development

So for the past few months I've been messing with different roms and accidentally setup one of my roms with a different email and bought the app chandroid. When I reverted to the main Rom I use chandroid wanted me to update so I tried but since I bought it under a different account it wanted me to buy it again. I found that the new market let's you switch between emails so I installed it but was unable to download or update any app.
This is where all the trouble started. I went to Google for answers and someone suggested clearing the data in the market. After doing this market would just say an error has occurred and shuts down. I then tried a factory reset. When I go to setup the account it says can't establish a reliable data connection. I understand this is a known problem but its different from my problem because even factory reset won't fix it. I've tried the YouTube method as well to no avail. One of my roms didn't come with the YouTube app and when I tried downloading it it said I already had it but it was no where to be found under app management.
The only luck I have had is with the muiu Rom. I was able to setup the account but that Rom looks too much like the iPhone and I prefer cyanogen 7 mod. I have factory reset, wiped cache, reinstalled rom. The only way market works is when I reinstall backed up roms.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So basically you have a problem with the market app? or your google account?
because if you have paid fopr an app on a different email account, you can just save the apk and reinstall it.

It was installed. The problem is that it uses Google to authenticate the app and I can't setup my Google account so it can't authenticate. When I factory reset I get the message can't establish data connection. My internet works perfectly fine. Right now I just want a clean install of cyan 7 with the new market. I installed gapps as well and still same problem.

I really don't care about the app anymore since I installed 4chon. I just want my market to work again.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I've tried everything possible as far as I know.

Okay so I figured it out. What I had to do was unroot my phone. Just download the PC36IMG.zip online and put it on the root of your sdcard. Go into clockworkmod by powering the phone off and then holding the down vol. and pwr button at the same time untill the hboot screen shows up. It will automatically detect it and just say yes when it asks you to install it. When it's finished you have to either delete the PC36IMG.zip file or rename it otherwise everytime you reboot the phone it will reinstall it. That's not a very good fix but as I am the only person I know of who has had this problem I do not see a better fix anytime soon.

[Q] No more Google account capability on Nook

First I have to say I like the "similar threads" function, even though it did not help me this time.
Here is my issue:
My nook had CM7 with nightly 118. I had not used it in a while, so I tried to install 7.1 (which failed prob with a bad md5). I also downloaded nightly 153 which also failed...
I booted BACK and downloaded both again, but 7.1 still failed. nightly 153 went through though, but when I rebooted i got a black screen instead of the CM7 spinning logo.
I went back into recovery and installed my old nightly 118 and was able to get back to normal...or so I thought.
I tried to open G+ and it failed to connect, tried to open Market and it told me I needed a google account. I clicked on the yes button to add one and it took me nowhere. I looked under accounts and both my google account were missing. I tried to add them back, but I only had Corporate, Yahoo, and Facebook in the list.
Anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? I assume I will just have to wipe it all and start from scratch, but I would prefer not to have to do that...
Thanks for any suggestions.

Are you running CM7 off the eMMC or a SD card?
Did you install the gapps?

This used to happen to me a lot, and the only reliable fix that I've found is to reflash gapps.
I don't know why it started, and I don't know why it doesn't happen to me anymore. Sometimes it happened when I reflashed CM7, sometimes it happened in the middle of routine use. It doesn't appear to happen to most people at all, but that might just be under-reporting because the symptoms seem totally random until you realize that anything needing access to your Google account fails.
Reflash just gapps. You'll have to sign in, and probably add your second Google account manually, but your data will be intact.
CM7 off the emmc, gapps already flashed, and I will try that! thanks for the replies!

Reflashing gapps worked like a charm! Thanks for the help!

Any time! If you come up with a better fix, please post it!
I had the same problem after ungrading to 177. Resintalling Gapps with only deleting cache did not work I had to reinstall Gapps deleting Data and Cache.
I don't understand what happened, but it all works fine now, so far.
Ouch, I've never had to wipe data to fix this, just reflash gapps.

Market Problem - I am desperate!

Ok for almost a week now I have been unable to download anything from the Market. The downloads start and nothing every happens, they never download. Everything else on my tablet works fine. I have tried everything:
1. Flashed multiple roms, even rooted stock rom, cleared formatted everything, same problem.
2. Flashed multiple kernals including stock
3. Cleared market and download caches
4. Tried replacing with different market versions.
5. Deleted all files on internal sd
Nothing. I am going crazy. Could there be a file on my internal SD that maintains it self after a reflash (doesnt get formatted?). Anyways I am desperate and need any advice you can give me.
Thanks!
You probably already did this but on the off chance. In CWM clear cache and then goto advanced and clear Delvic cache.
yes I have done all of that.
i have the same problem, the way I fix it is to go out of the market, then start it up again, and try to download it again. This sometimes takes 3 or 4 tries. I try it on both the native market app as the website. No id why it happens, I am running 3.2 stock rooted.
Go to the android market on your computer.
https://market.android.com/
Find the app you want.
You put in your google account info and it will ask which device you want to install it on.
Click Iconia A500 and in a few minutes it will download to that device.
I had one that would not download and did it that way.
Did you try this by any chance?

TL;DR
Remove your google account and re-sync it
Try going to....
Settings, accounts & sync, click your gmail account, then on the top right of your screen it says "remove account", click that.
Go to the market, resign in with your gmail and password.
Worked for me... hope it works for you.

Did you clear your framework services cache to get the update maybe? This is one of the symptoms I have read about.
I think the fix was to delete your playstore account on the Nexus and then sign in again.
Others may have better input.
Yeah, sign out and back in. Should fix that.
Ok will try that could not even downloadf any other app either.
Ok i deleted the play account and added a different one and same problem, cant get any apps stuck on downloasding progress bar.
Also how do do you sign out of the account
Also i did download the update to 4.2 via framework clear method.
Iv added a different account google play store I'm still does not work
Go into settings apps find google play click on it .. Clear cache and data .. reboot your tablet
If that does not work . and only then .
go into settings accounts google.. in the google account at the top right click the ... then delete account. REBOOT. it will prompt you to set up your Google account again once it boots backup...
This should Solve your troubles. If not and only then go into settings apps all
FIND GOOGLE FRAMEWORK .. clear data in there..
Good Luck
Ok brb gonn try the above
Done all of the above still not working just shows downloading bar and doesnt download anything time for an rma?

scratch that idea then..... DOH
Im thinking this is software more than hardware issue. Anyone know how to fix this? Id hate to have to do a full wipe on the tablet to try and resolve this,
Get on your computer... Go to play.google.com. log in..
find a simple app and click install.. See if it will install the app to your Nexus 7 ...
or if the nexus is grayed out...if grayed out try a few apps. that we know should work in the nexus. .
This will check to see if your tab has been disabled with wallet... if you can push to the device its just a bug and play store is down for you wait a hour...
By the way ARE you totally stock .. ?
if not whats your configuration
totally stock, not even rooted. will try when i get back home later today,
I had this issue on a rooted N7 with TWRP. After I managed to get the update side loaded, nothing would update and the poor darling vanished from the Google Play website as well. I had to do a factory reset. Then everything was golden. I didn't even lose root, thanks to OTA Rootkeeper.
i didnt even try to sideload the update, all i did was the clear framework cache thingy and then update came and i updated it,
not happy with this if i have to start sideloading all my apps from now on since i dont want to be wiping it to factory settings, i will try the suggestion above when i get home though and see if play store is working, may just let it keep downloading for an hour or so and see if that works.
I think it was the framework clearing that may have caused it. I too tried that step to try and force the update to download. T'was all bad man. However, once I factory reset it, I just left it plugged into power and went out for dinner, when I got back it had downloaded all the apps I had registered on Google Play. Amazon was a different beast of course. By all means, let it percolate and it might fix itself, just keep that reset in mind.
will do, when i get home will leave the tablet on and let it keep trying to install the apps,
when it goes into standby mode when the screen powers off will it still be trying to install the apps in the background or does in standby mode the install process stop?

[Q] Can't install apps from google play website

The usual problem - I flashed a custom ROM, signed into my gmail account, then restored the backup of my main ROM,
Now I can't install apps from a PC browser on G Play, it works fine on the phone, just not from the PC
I've cleared cache, data of play store and google services from the phone
Remove my account and re-added it
Removed all devices permissions from my account and set them back up
rebooted the phone
Ive run out of ideas, anyone know what's up?
The device shown in my account is saying it's last access was the 26th, which was about when I flashed that custom ROM, so I'm guessing it's still not seeing my current ROM even after all of that
PITA Google, why make things so complicated ?
Anyone know how to remove that old device and force it to see my current one?

I've fixed it, there was no error, it just refused to detect the phone at all, when I pressed INSTALL on the website, it only gave options of my old April 26th ROM, not my current one
Finally after booting to recovery and clearing all caches, then opening Play store app on the phone, it finally (After 20 tries) detected the phone again and works as it should
That's 2 days of using my phone, that the play store web version failed to detect the phone at all
Come on Google, get it sorted, this has been going on for years, I remember the same problem back in 2012 with my tablet

A501 won't download from Google Play or install other ROMs

Hi,
I have an Acer A501 on which I installed CWM and a custom rooted 3.2 ROM shortly after purchasing it in order to use a certain app that required root permissions. I noticed that after the root, the device would give me a "server error" when trying to download apps from Google Play, but I didn't really pay much attention to it, since I didn't download new apps very often and I figured I could just get APKs from other sources. Recently, though, I have been trying to give the tablet a new life by getting Google Play back to work (since searching for APKs on dodgy sites isn't exactly the most reliable way of getting new apps) and maybe installing ICS. I flashed a stock 3.2 ROM and got rid of CWM, since I assumed it was the reason for Google Play not working, but apparently I was wrong, since I am still getting that error. I have also been trying to flash a stock ICS ROM, but every single one I've tried so far shows an error (the Android robot with the yellow warning sign) almost immediately after starting to flash. Does anyone know the solution to these problems? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Bump... Anyone?

Yeah, I remembered I had the same error.
Anyway, pls try to check this link...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2733038
In my case, I just removed the existing account. Then, add the same account & it is working OK.
Thanks for the link. As for removing and re-adding the account, I have done that multiple times, to no avail. I have tried force-stopping and clearing the cache of Google Services Framework, as suggested in the thread, but now, I get a connection error merely trying to add a Google account to the device... I even did a factory reset, but I still can't add a Google account, as if the Google Services settings hadn't been reset at all.
EDIT: I just realized that the reason I got a connection error after the factory reset was not being connected to Wi-Fi. However, after clearing the cache and data of Market, Google Services Framework and Download Manager, I get the same connection error while trying to add a Google Account, even while connected to a Wi-Fi network.
EDIT 2: I have rebooted the device, and now I'm back where I started. The error code is RPC:S-7:AEC-0 LOWQ-XYAM-M7MTS.
Any Luck? Same problem here with a stock A500 after a factory reset. I've tried two good google accounts. Getting "Google Talk Authentication Failed" and " Error retrieving data from server"
