[Q] Can't connect Google Account to phone - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
This is my first post on here, I've been more of a lurker but I've got a problem I just cant solve.
My set up..
Nexus 4 16GB
Rooted
TWRP
CM10.1 RC2 - (Was on an old nightly before)
CM10.1 Kernel - (Was on Franco M2 before) (Was UV -100 also) (Fast Bin)
My Nexus 4 was working fine until last night when I decided to do a fiddle around with a few things.. I decided to try out G+, Hangouts etc after watching IO, so I first of all installed Hangouts but it kept taking me to Talk.
I used Rom Toolbox to uninstall Talk and then installed Hangouts, the phone and Hangouts app was working fine but then my Wifi and Data bars just turn grey and have been grey since last night.
I've flashed a new ROM but now I cant log into my account neither initial setup or after..
I get 'Cant establish a reliable connection to the server.. This may be a temporary problem on your Android device.. etc etc)
I've looked at many posts and just cant seem to find a solution. These are the steps I've done so far..
Factory Reset (From inside phone settings)
Cleared Data+Cache from App Settings for Play Store, Framework etc
Factory Reset from TWRP, Flash RC2 + Gapps,
Removed sim, reboot, tried to log in, no success
Could someone shed some light on this?
Thank you!
EDIT: Sorry for creating an extra thread admins, I did some more Google'ing and found a solution.. I downloaded Root Browser.. And navigated to /etc and deleted a file called 'hosts' .. It's all working fine now!

[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.

Help needed with CM7 and google apps

So I had to restore my Nook Color back to factory settings and the reinstall everything and stupid me doesn't have a back up. So I have installed CM7 nightly verision 164 and it is running beautifully but I can't get the Google Apps to install. I have tried EVERYTHING and am on the verge of losing it. I have found different threads talking about similar problems where the fix the problem by reinstalling the zip file in CWM or by connecting to wifi and then market will show up asking to install all the other apps. Tried and nothing, wifi is working fine becasue I can use the internet with no problem even was able to get the Amazon App Store running but not the Market. Any ideas please help...
I had the same problem, and I was able to talk to the person who post a video on Youtube titled "How to Install CyanogenMod 7 on the Nook Color (PC Version)". This is from his description.
Having problems with the Market? Use this version of CM7 instead.
h t t p ://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/update-cm-7.0.2-encore-signed.zip
Then update cm7 with your favorite nightly.
Hope this works for you~

google apps won't download for defy ics

Hi
I rooted my green lens defy and i'm currently running CM9-NIGHTLY-120416-Defy.zip.
I backed up all of my old settings and apps from froyo with titanium backup.Tried to reinstall gmail and maps but they do not work properly.
Also i can't download anything from the restored appbrain marketplace because it says i do not have android market installed, also tried via my browser, it says the download will start but never does.When i use recovery and load my old rom the apps are waiting and download fine.
Will i be ok to install gapps-ics-20120317 and get my google apps back and will this solve my problem?
That would be the wisest thing to do..
Was just confused,because the instructions given in all the threads I've read only mention flashing the gapps file if you have a defy±.My phone is an 18 month old defy.Please can someone else confirm it's OK to flash.
I made the same mistake, caused a right mess with force closes and the like. I started again, went through the instructions, but added in the flash gapps (same one you mention above), and now my phone works fine (apart from some minor bugs).
I'm currently using the same CM9 nightly, and have a green lens Defy.

Gapps have nothing to do with the phone model..For every Android version, the specific gapps is released.. So the gapps for ICS, can be flashed to phone running ICS, doesn't matter if its a defy or defy+

I had the same issues with Play store to download app a couple times. In app manager, select Google play store and clean cache and data. That`s work for me.
Otherwise try wipe data/cache then flash the last nightly from Epsylon for defy froyo, then CM7 Kernel then the last gapps-ics-20120422 then battery ics fix then reboot and restore your app That should work fine
Hope been helpfull

Thanks everyone, all working fine after installing the latest gaps. This was my first root and i'm very grateful for the help i received but the instructions in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1432100# could have been a bit clearer.
Anyway, as usual the problems encountered have helped me learn a lot more than i knew before.

[Q] Package File is Invalid

Hi, a couple of days ago I started getting this error when installing apps. At the beginning it was only a couple of apps that didn't work but it got worse and now no apps work at all. I've done EVERYTHING to fix this, the only thing that works is using a VPN to change my location, that is it.
What I've done:
-Cleared google play store data
-Removed google account and re-entered it
-Factory reset including system then re-installed the ROM
-Switched between 4 different ROMs
-Tried all kernels too
1.Stock 4.3 google edition
2.Battery King v.5 TW ROM Android 4.2.2
3. CM 10.2 Android 4.3
4. JSS15J Pure AOSP ROM Android 4.3
I live in Canada and when i change my location and IP Adress with Hideninja VPN I can install any apps. The only problem is now I can't even get that app and when i could my download speed was Extremely slow.
Anyone in Canada or anywhere else got this problem randomly a couple days ago?

[solved]Play store crash/connection error

EDIT: Its fixed, flashed stock rom. cant delete the thread so it can be closed!

Hello everyone!
I recently got my first Android phone so im fairly new to all this.
(my phone: lg g2 d802 16gb model, rooted, stock 4.4.2)
I rooted it and froze some harmless apps(was very cautious not to freeze important ones) and everything worked fine. i downloaded some apps after i edited things(=playstore worked) the last thing i remember is change the clock widget on my lock screen(a stock widget) but i dont think this has anything to do with it eighter..
At one point i tried to download an app but the play store couldnt connect(even though i had an internet connection, rest worked just fine)
i read through the internet and tried multiple things:
-clear cache and data of the play store app + play services + service framework
-removed updates
-deleted and reinstalled it
-removed my google account(after this the app started crashing instantly probably because i froze sth thats needed to register a new google account or whatever, i dont know)
-checked my hosts file(only 127.0.0.1 localhost was in there, seems to be fine)
-made a factory reset: i really hoped this would fix it but it didnt. the app still crashes. after the factory reset i still found the supersu app on the phone(is the phone still rooted even though i did a factory reset?)
-removed my root access and did a factory reset again. additionally i logged in with a new google account so they google wouldnt use the data from my original google account(maybe there was sth that was causing it) didnt work.
Anyone has an idea what to do next? could flashing the stock rom help? whats the next step?
Thanks in advance!
