Cannot login to Google Account...

Earlier today I flashed Fresh 1.1 onto my phone.. I was having some issues with the Calendar syncing up so I unchecked the sync under Settings-Data Sync-Google and backed out of it. (this is where the problems began) I also went to Applications-Manage applications and cleared the cache/data out of the calendar, gmail and google apps. I have removed all of the sprint apps except nfl network (some before, some after Flashing 1.1)
Whenever I go back to Settings-Data Sync-Google or try to open up the market, gmail, calendar or any of the google services, it askes me to "set up my google account".. I click next and it goes to "setting up your Hero200" so I click sign in and type in my login info and I get the message: Can't establish a reliable data connection to the
server.This could be a temporary problem or your SIM card
may not be provisioned for data services. If continues,
call Customer Care. I do have a data connection because I browse on Dolphin, everything else works fin
I've rebooted, but not restored an earlier backup.. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance and sorry for the long post...

are you on 3G or wifi?

WiFi, but I've tried it on 3g and it doesn't seem to make difference...

I read somewhere that someone manually set the APN for Sprint, does that make any sense to anyone?
I found this on another forum, can anyone confirm that this might help, or at least won't screw my phone up seriously if I try it:
"Is simple, but you need to be root and know how to play with the device: just delete the folder
/data/data/com.android.providers.settings and restart (before and after) and you can
use the wizard again."
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3477

i'm not sure, but go to settings>about phone>system updates and try updating the Profile and the PRL. since you're rooted don't mess with the firmware or anything though.

Have you tried restoring your nandroid backup yet?

I updated the Profile and PRL and still no change. I haven't restored my backup, yet...
I'm seriously thinking about following the advise in the link above and deleting: /data/data/com.android.providers.settings and see if that helps.. If I do this and it still doesn't work, I can do my restore and try that and if all else fails, start all over.. Right?
Before I delete this file, I want to back it up on my SD Card, I just push it to the SD card, correct? The problem is, that I have no idea what's in that file, that's why I'm hesitant to do this.. If it does screw something up, a backup should restore this, correct?
Thanks!

Been there, done that, couldn't fix it. I'm convinced that doing the "clear data" for those apps is not a good idea.
I ended up restoring the Nandroid I took right before I cleared that info, then instead went online and changed my Gmail password. That forced me to run through the Google Account Setup wizard again, which actually worked fine.

Yeah, when I cleared that data it wiped all my contacts and everything... I changed my google password and I'm going to restore a backup and see what happens.... At least I should have my contacts back....

Ok, that worked (for now anyways!!) Thanks johnnythan!! I restored a Nandroid and it prompted me for my google password right away...
I'm still getting the calendar force close whenever it tries to sync (problem I was originally trying to fix) but I'll live with that for now... It seems to sync, but takes a couple tries after force closing...
Thanks, much better than starting over from a full reboot!!

have you tried flashing the unofficial modaco rom version 1.3a? If you flash it, and follow the instructions to clear the dalvik and boot cache it may take care of your problems.

I think I tried that in the Fresh1.1 PreKitchen and I don't believe it helped.. I'll defiantly keep that in mind if I have this issue again.. Thanks!

I need restore lost phone contacts after newest SO Kernel Update

I'm using newest SO kernel and XWJS3 (made in DOC'S kitchen 9.1.3). I reboot my phone because I changed minmum LCD refresh time ( I did update only kernel not whole rom).
I reboot and I got a lot of aps crash (swype, titanium backup, go launcher ex), and some data got wipe. Still got SMS data base but I lost contacts list and all data of phone app (call log too).
The problem is that last night save a contact in my phone memory (not google account, not in sim card), I was really hurry. Is there any possibility to restore my phone book or call log

BUMP
Can someone tell me where android hold data base of contacts. I lost every setting of apps, but still got sync with gmail (and google contacts) still got SMS messages.
I lost all contats saved In phone memory I really need to recovery them.

Well, it's your fault you didn't exported contact list to a safe place before flashing.
"Contacts ->press "menu" -> import/export" save file on external sd for example.
If you have Titanium backup, you can restore contacts from there.
If you can't enter Titanium backup, then clear Dalvik cache from recovery menu.

I flashed a kernel. It worked fine for one day, at night I saved contact and get a sleep. At the morning I started to test LCD refresh time (SO kernel)... I reboot few times and after last one it load a lot of time....
... And what happened? All contacts disappear, titanium backup not working, swype not working, but I still got SMS book.

EB01 DBDATA Bug?

I don't know if I'm the only one having this issue, but I'd figure I'd lay out my findings for everyone to see if we can get to the bottom of it. Since the EB01 leak was released, I've noticed that after a while my installed apps will not remember their preferences anymore, think everytime is the first run, etc...
First time I flashed EB01 was using ROM Manager and an old "green" version of CWM. After the first instance of these issues cropping up, I went back DI01 using a FULL Odin restore (rom, kernel, radio, novinand, etc, w/ re-partitioning), then flashed to an EB01+CWM+Root package using Odin instead of CWM. Again, after a day or two, apps started forgetting their preferences. I then got a new phone as a warranty replacement, went from EA28 to EB01 using Odin: still having the same issues.
The only thing I noticed out of place (I'm no developer) in a logcat trace is:
Code:
Line 745: E/ApplicationContext(31797): Couldn't rename file /dbdata/databases/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer/shared_prefs/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer_preferences.xml to backup file /dbdata/databases/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer/shared_prefs/com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer_preferences.xml.bak

Just a few other things I've noticed
*System application do not seem to be affected
*/dbdata/databases/ is full if entries for apps that are no longer installed. I don't know if that is normal or if they are supposed to be cleared out when an app is removed.
*deleting the entry in /dbdata/databases/ for a particular app seems to force it re-create the entry, allowing it save it's preferences.....until they change again.
*reading from dbdata seems to work fine, just writing isn't working.
*only certain apps seem to act up. The first ones to show signs of issues are usually Tapatalk, Root Explorer, & Titanium Backup. Apps like Dropbox and Facebook don't seem to be affected this time around.
I question weather this a corruption due to the installation method (outdated CWM) or a bug in EB01 itself and only folks who add/delete apps frequently like myself are more prone to notice it.
Thoughts?

First, this shouldn't be posted here. This has nothing to do with Development, so it should have gone in the General forum.
Next, have you tried to do a factory reset after the issue pops up and try again? I realize that you did the full Odin wipe, but did you try wiping data anyway? Also, are you on Voodoo or no-voodoo?

1. Apologies, I figured since this was an issue with software under development and is likely a code issue, that it belongs here more than anywhere.
2. Yes, many wipes of data & cache partitions, restores to DI01, etc. The full restore & re-formatting was a last resort. Plus, it's doing the same thing with an entirely new device.
3. Non-voodoo

What I would suggest is reset your phone and reset your data restoring, AKA clearing it from google's servers the best way to do that is reflash a froyo rom, wipe all the cache's and then when it asks you to login with your google account skip that step and then login using Settings->Accounts & Sync add your google account And then in Settings->Privacy Uncheck Backup my data and Automatic Restore. There is a chance there is a app or a setting being pulled from google that could be screwing it up, you could also try formating your SD card.

You mentioned Titanium Backup. It has an "Auto-sync TB settings" is supposed to auto restore it's settings from the SD card after a wipe. Maybe you have a setting in there that is causing an auto-restore to happen of the data from some of your apps.
And definitely check to make sure that you don't have Automatic Restore checked in Settings->Privacy. The best way to do this is just like jazzyjames mentioned. After a wipe, don't log into Google on the first boot, but first go in and uncheck the auto restore. Then you can log into your Google account.

It happens to those who use voodoo, but it was worse with 2.2 for some reason.
I fixed it using and all in one odin 2.2 version. It'll repartition the file system and restore your dbdata.
Done problem solved...

I found the Google Auto-Restore was enabled, so I disabled it to clear everything and did a factory wipe and re-did everything with pretty much every automated backup or sync service turned off.
We'll see how things go.

many fixes for android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly

My Samsung Galaxy Tab (Sprint) recently, unexpectedly started displaying this message. I did a google search and was amazed on how many fixes and issues they are for this type of issue. I will admit I have done most of them...which only slow down the messages versus constantly popping up. Many tablets and phones are or have experienced this issue. Many say it was an app, widget, a system bug or a virus that caused it. It is clearly that no clear answer is established or it all depends on what was the last thing you did before you got the message. Here are the "fixes" that I found. What I will do next is flash a rom instead. I have already done two hard resets- still pops up. Hope this helps someone out. I just cut and pasted the answers that people said it worked for them. Please add any that I may have left out.
possible fixes for "process android process acore has stopped unexpectedly" USE AT YOUR OWN RISK...
1) Using Settings go to your manage applications, you will find some Contacts (Contact Storage 2.2 or Contacts) you can also do this with Titanium Backup under “Backup/Restore” tab). Click clear cache/wipe data. This will clear all your contacts (all your data) so make sure these are backed up.
2) Install/use ClockWorkMod. First back up all your data TB is the choice. As I understand this will only be done once in the lifetime of the gtab. In CWM>advanced>choose “Partition SD Card”> choose 2048 for the first choice and 0 for the second choice. This will wipe your data so have it backed up beforehand.
3) Depending on your recovery, you should try wiping cache, dalvik cache, and fixing permissions.
4) If you can, go to /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/ and move or rename the folder databases. The system will immediately rebuild the database and rewrite it back to that location and your process.acore should stop. (you'll need something like root explorer to do so...though you could adb it from your computer) (THIS ONE DID NOT WORKED FOR ME)
5) clearing data in the email app
6) menu>applications>manage applications>all>internet>clear cache>clear data.
7) update firmware
8) format your SD card (THIS WILL DELETE YOUR DATA)
9) use one tap cache cleaner app- wiped out all cache
10) start deleting your downloaded apps until the error message stop popping up
11) turn on > reset > press all buttons while starting including reset > do this until you start without android.process.acore (I DON'T KNOW ABOUT THIS ONE-not for tablet)
12) turned off the sync, deleted the data on the contact application
13) menu->settings-> do factory reset at bottom
repower login with new gmail login & passwordmenu->settings-> data sync ->wait for circles to right of contacts, etc to stop spinning>go to market->downloads and reinstall apps
14) (in settings->applications->manage applications), did a "clear data", "clear defaults", and "force stop" wherever applicable. Then I did a "clear data" and "force stop" to "package installer", "contacts", and "contacts storage" app. (MANY PEOPLE SAID THIS ONE DID THE TRICK)
15) Facebook contacts being synced with a gmail contact. If they aren't synced they are fine but syncd with a Facebook contact causes the error. (THIS WAS A POPULAR FIX)
16) Remove Google+ 2.0
17) Cleared cache of contacts and calendar with titanium backup (MUST BE ROOTED)
18) deleting the contacts DB directory (PEOPLE SAID THIS AFFECTED THEIR ABILITY TO USE EXCHANGE)
19) used titanium backup and wiped the three contacts files, then presto back to normal
/data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/databases/
20) scan with an antivirus app

Just got this on my evo3d, I found that ONE of the causes is when using Titanium Backup, I backup my AOSP system data with TB, and restored it in a sense ROM, which conflicted. A factory reset did the trick, but so would cache cleaner I believe.

I did two factory reset and cleared all cache, no luck. Im using the tab now, message pops up about every two minutes or so. Very annoying.

did you restore from Titanium backup? try NOT restoring App/System DATA from TB.

lg e405 same problem
Hi
I have same problem, started today, after saving a contact I received via whatsapp.
I've read up about this and it seems like it can be fixed by clearing contacts cache...any concrete advice on this?
Thanks

Cannot restore backup from Samsung Cloud

Hi, in these days my phone was sent to service repair. Now all data is cleared. Before repair I made a full backup via Samsung account.
Now I can't restore backup, also tried wipe data and re-flash firmware.
At first boot tried to restore backup, when it search for backups, it appear a loading bar with something like "Restore" and it looking for backups but it will disappear in few seconds.
I have minimum of 3 backups stored, tried to redo a backup manually and restore but I can't, same via Settings->Backup and restore.
What can I do? It seems that I can't restore my past and future backups.
Thank you

Hi, I have same problem, did you already solve it?

Not yet, I think that it's not a problem related with the smartphone but with the account. I think that we have to call Samsung support.

Same issue here with S7!

SOLVED! Resetted the app Samsung Cloud and then updated, reboot, wait 2/3 mins and restored backup successfully.

Did not work. How did you reset? Just cleared the data? And I see no updates..

Yes, cleared cache and data. It worked for me.
You may try to see logs.
1. Open dialer and compose *#9900#, clic on DEBUG LEVEL and select MID or HIGH, your device will reboot automatically.
2. Redo the procedure to try to restore backup(in this way you will generate the logs for your issue)
3. Open dialer and compose *#9900#, clic on RUN DUMPSTATE/LOGCAT/MODEM LOG, wait for the process to complete and select COPY TO SD CARD (include CP RAMDUMP)
4. Search for the log file and see if you can read something wrong.

Contacted Samsung Support. And that is exactly what they did - updated (some nontrivial way) Samsung Cloud app. Then I could do the restore! Hurray!

what should i do next after this?

If anyone still has this issue, what worked for me was to go to Galaxy Apps and update the Cloud app. (You have to display system apps.)
It's a tip I found here:
https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...rver-try-again-later.html?passport=1548204689

You can follow the steps to get back your Samsung data.
1. Recover the wanted data from Samsung Account. To get back your files, you need to go to Settings and elect Accounts once again. Next, choose Samsung account and tap on Restore. After that, you can select the file types that you want to restore and click on Restore now to start restoring.
2. Confirm your option. After taping on the Restore now option, a pop-up prompt will appear to ask you to confirm your action. Just tap on ok to proceed the process.

I had a problem with restoring my repaired phone. It turned out I had two Samsung Cloud accounts; one with one phone contact and approximately 6 photos. The two SC accounts were attached to two different emails. I found this out by logging in to Samsung Cloud on my PC. Then I had to do a hard restore on my phone and then I was able to sign in to the correct SC account and could restore my precious data.
