[Q] can't setup google account

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] Android Market "An error occured"

Hi all,
I can no longer install any paid apps on my phone; as soon as I click the "download" button (which shows the price in case of paid apps) I get the error message "an error occured. Please try again". Everything works for free apps; everything also works from my tablet (which uses the same Google account), so it's definitely the phone, not the account that causes the problem.
I have tried it on WiFi as well as on 3G; I have rebooted the phone; I have downgraded the market app from 3.3.1 to 3.2.0. All to no avail :-(
Any help with fixing this is greatly appreciated.

Try to factory restore and when you do set everything up but before go to market and wipe everything and restart

problem resolved?
hi, have you been able to resolve the problem?
i have the exact problem, able to install any free app however no paid ones with same error as you. there is a workaround however, you can purchase from internet browser on your android device.
if you have managed to resolve this, please let me know this is irritating.

No I haven't.I have to admit though that I never tried the factory reset as was suggested. I do not purchase that many apps so the browser work around is OK for me right now.

it could be the rom that ur using.. because when i had MIUI sometimes open others not nd no connection to.. or market has allot of bugs.. try the oldest market not the 1 that looks like applanet the other with top green nd bottom white..

Android market error even after factory reset?

On my GF's MT4G, her Play store started acting up so she did a factory reset and her Market wont open up. It gives her an error code. A long time ago I rooted her phone and tried getting her the old Market when they made the switch to the Play store. Could that been there reason why its giving an error code? I thought if you do a factory reset it would wipe any everything done to the phone. Its still running the stock rom BTW.

When I click on the Market app i get the "Sorry! The application Market )process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly Please try again" message.

Try flashing a newer GApps file.

Have you tried going to settings>apps> play store and clearing data and cache of the app, then reboot phone? Seeing as how you are on stock rom, don't worry about trying to flash gapps, that's for aosp based roms. You can also try to search for the latest play store app in the themes and apps forum and try to install it.

I've tried downloading and installing the Play Store but still nothing. I then tried flashing cm7.2.0 (what I'm running on my MT4G) and on the first boot it asks you if you have a Google account to sign into but it doesn't evenshow up. If you click on the Play Store if asks you "you must sign into Google" but after I click ok the app it shuts down.
I flashed Blackout ICS and finally have a working Play Store.

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"

"There was a problem connecting to play.google.com" error message

Ok, just bought a US Cellular US996. Whenever I set up the phone, it wouldn't let me enter my google account. It just gives me a "There was a problem connecting to play.google.com" message. It does the same thing when I try to open the play store. I've factory reset it, removed my SD card, cleared data from the download manager, Google play services, play store, tried different data connections and I still cant even get it to the screen where it will let you enter your gmail account. The phone is rooted but i even restored it stock and it still does the same thing. Any one have any ideas?

Anyone??

i get the same thing
hi rafe and everybody. this is my first comment!
i get the same thing as OP. i had factory reset the phone and had cleared all 'google app' data iirc. please help!
