[Q] Cannot sign-in into my google account on i337

I have an AT&T Galaxy-S4 (i337 Model) that recently stopped syncing up with my google account...
1. I tried to remove my account completely and set it up from scratch.
2. Now, I cannot sign-in at all. It gives me the message "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later."
3. Does anybody here care to tell me how to get this thing to work?
It is extremely irritating and I tried a bunch of different things but nothing has worked so far... So help would really appreciated..
Thank you
Maxie

What rom are you using?

Double check that you have Internet connectivity.

Do a factory reset then odin back to stock and make sure you are on MDL.

Might want to check your time and date settings, having them off by too much can mess with ssl.

Why would you suggest Odin if OP is stock?
OP try clearing cache and data for Google apps and if that fails you can try a reset.

Deleted some Google calendar files. Now its not working

I updated cm 10.1 and I went into titanium backup and uninstalled the apps that come with it (Apollo, default browser) and it comes with another calendar app that I uninstalled because I use google calendar from the play store. I uninstalled some data thing as well which got rid of the calendar sync option when you go to your account in settings (where contact sync, currents sync etc. Is) so now my calendar is not syncing. What do I do besides factory reset??
I've tried reflashing the ROM and the 4.2.2 Gapps but it didn't fix the problem.
I went to system/apps and tapped on calendarprovider.apk and it tried to install calendar storage but the install keeps failing.
I've asked this many times but no one seems to know the answer so for another desperate plea,
Please help! This is becoming a big problem for me as I rely on my calendar almost everyday!

You kinda wrote the easiest solution there yourself... Factory reset.
Also, if messing with the calendar has given you problems before, why the hell would you do it again?
Sounds to me like you're doing the same thing over and over again expecting a different outcome.

I didn't do this before. And I can't afford to do a reset I just need a way of getting back all the files

Looking in my files on my phone with solid explorer k found these (look at pic) in the Titanium Backup folder in my Internal Memory directory.
I think I need to somehow install these files because they have to do with sync. Which is what I need.

By the looks of it I need to find a way to install calendar storage. It is not installed on my phone.

The easiest way would just be to dirty flash your ROM & gapps again.
Dirty flash meaning don't wipe anything.
Just boot back into recovery. Flash cm and gapps again then reboot

This will put Apollo etc back but you can just remove them again.
Performing a factory reset will probably not solve your issue as I'm pretty sure that calendar storage is a system apk and a factory reset will not modify anything in the system

Can you link me to the 4.2.2 gaols?

Try going into Settings>Applications>Video Player and clear Data and cache.
Doing this will not delete or even touch any of your data, this will simply reset the application to how it was first installed into your phone.
If you still continue to have the problem, temporary fix would be an alternate player. I would recommend MX Player, as I found it a lot better than stock player or any other player in the market and supports a wide variety of codecs : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mxtech.videoplayer.ad

Hi, thanks for the reply. The method suggested didn't worked. But, I wonder why the Samsung video player that came along with stock rom is malfunctioning even after I cleared app cache.

It seems like its not working in anyway. So, try wiping the cache from recovery and reboot. If problem still exist then you will have to factory reset from recovery which will erase all data from inbuilt memory.But I recommend you to install third party player.

Hi Ashwin can you b please guide me in "wiping the cache from recovery. "

1.switch off your phone.
2.then press VOLUME UP + POWER On/Off Button + HOME Button till the "Samsung Gt-i9082" screen appears.It will Boot the phone in recovery mode.
3.After booting in recovery you can't navigate by touch. So, 1. use the VOLUME Up and Down button to navigate/scroll.
2. use Power button to select the highlighted option.
4.Now select the wipe cache partition,confirm wipe.
5.select "Reboot system Now".
6.Done.
If Video player still crashes, follow the same process to "Wipe Data/factory reset".
I have rooted SGG so i can't post the images of Stock recovery cause stock recovery and CWM are different.
There are many threads where you will find detailed Guide about Stock recoverys.
Hope I helped.

Yes unfortunately, if nothing else is working to restore your video player to it's state, you'll have to do a factory reset followed by a cache wipe from the recovery by following the method ashwin77sgg mentioned in above post - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49331296&postcount=11
In case of root, I would have suggested replacing the apk in /system/app but you mentioned you don't have root, so the only other alternative would be switching to a third-party video player like MXPlayer.
Doing a factory reset will wipe all your apps, and data so please make sure you backup everything you need.

[Q] Keyboard doesn't save my 'own' words! Bug?

Hey everyone,
I recently noticed weird things happening with my phone. The most annoying thing is that my Samsung keyboard doesn't save my words to the dictionary. It's saved for the moment when I have the keyboard in use. Once I close the chat and the keyboard is gone, the next time, the words I just 'saved' are gone. Also all my previous words I saved before were deleted?
Can anybody help? This is so annoying!
Thanks in advance.

Do you think a factory reset will help? What data will be deleted then when I factory reset?

You might go to settings then language & input then Samsung keyboard scroll down then rest settings

If didn't work i think you need to factory rest yor device but backup all your data first.

Factory reset is going to erase all your data including pic, music, apps and... ETC if they stored in your internal Sd card
You are not rooted so the best way to backup your data and apps including the pic and music is by downloading Kies 3 from here

Have you done anything to try and fix it? More info would be good
Cleared caches etc?

clear cache from application manager and restart your devie
it might work
or wipe your CACHE from your recovery

Ah haven't tried wipe from recovery, I'll try that, tried deleting and reinstalling apps that seem to cause it to open, wiped cache, wiped the default open options but haven't found anything else as of yet but I will try the recovery, running stock by the way
