My hangouts was lagging like two days ago, so I cleared cache & data. Usually after doing this it would ask me which account I would like to log in as, and when I selected it, it would log me in. This time when I tried it said "Couldn't sign in because we couldn't connect to Google. Try again." I tried on WiFi and mobile data (I was on vacation in Canada)... No luck. I even did the delete Google Play Services thing.. Still gave me the same message. Any idea what caused this and how I can fix it? Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi!
I just recently moved all my contacts and calendar to my gmail account, and it worked fine for a couple of days. It then started with that I was unable to create Google contacts (only SIM and Phone was available). I checked the data synchronization, which said that there was some error with the contacts synchronization. Then I followed some advice on the Internet about clearing the data on the "Google Apps" application, to be able to try to sign in to Google once again. But now I'm stuck. I cannot sign in, which means I cannot use market, and my calendar and contacts are unavailable. When I try to sign in with my Google account I get this message (after a minute or so):
"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 this continues, call Customer Care".
I've tried with both WLAN and over the mobile data net (Which both works in the browser, and in maps etc.).
Anyone has an idea which does not involve a hard reset?
Thanks!
i hope someone else does, but AFAIK, there is no solution that does not involve a hard reset.....
Hmm.. Strange. I did not skip the initial registration when i bought the phone, and the account have never struggled before, so I wanted to re-sign in, and this seemed to be the only way.
it's a bit of a bug unfortunately.
On the hero, the sign in only seems to work in the initial set up.
if you skip it or if you do the clear storage later on like you have, it seems to lose it's ability to link to the google servers correctly and you get that message. I don;t know of a way round it, but i hope that someone else does...
Yeah, I really hope so. It seems a little stupid to have to wipe the phone completely every time Google decides that they don't want to synchronize with my gmail account anymore...
Is there anyone else who has an idea?
does anybody know what this process is?
it keeps crashing on me
google searched and came up with nothing

Hi,
I am unable to download anything from Market Place.
Whenever I want to download anything from Market Place, the tab will show "Download".
However, even when I press download, I was always prompted the error message, "Error proccessing purchase". I would like to state that I am downloading free app, not paid app.
I have to do a workaround, by going to web-based Market Place to "Install" the app.
Afterwhich, when I go back to my Market Place, the same app which I had problem downloading would be shown "Install", instead of "Download".
And when I click on "install", the download will go through with nowproblem.
At the same time, I have no problem updating all my exisitng apps.
I have tried clearing the data, but the problem still persist.
May I know what would happen if I do a factory reset?
Can I do a Titanium Backup and do a factory reset after that?
And if a factory reset, doesn't help, I'll just restore my system data.
Thanks guys, hope someone can help.
Are you on the stock Rom?
This has happened to me also, a solution (that didn't work for me) was to remove your google account, clear the cache and market data, then re-add your google account. I still have the problem but I have a google account and a google apps account, when the downloads don't work on my google account, I just use my google apps account.
I had this happen too, I did the same as the above post^
The market has been acting up the last few days...I guess they are getting ready for the ICS release...coming in the next few weeks...

I've not noticed any problems lately (beyond the usual having to refresh a few times to get a page to load, and having to power cycle or disconnect and reconnect wifi to get an app to start installing).
I had this exact issue about 5 weeks ago.
After exchanging emails with Google Tech folks, it was determined that my Google Talk account had logged out.
They said that your market is tied to your google talk account.
I went through, deleted everything, re-added my google account, and made sure the GTalk was working, and bam, market began working.
I have a google apps account too.
Thanks guys for the response.
I tried removing my google account, cleared the cache and data, and re-added my google account, it still failed to work.
This is really frustrating. However, I was able to download Angry Bird Rios just now.
The funny thing was, the tab was showing "Install", instead of the usual "Free".
I am thinking that the probable reason why it was showing "Install", instead of "Free" was because I used to have this game in my account.

but i am still getting nowhere with all the solutions provided.
jus tried to log in the my google talk account, it's still the same.
now i am seeing viber with the "Install" tab on my Market, whereas the rest of the other apps are showing "Free".
I had the same issue, and the only way I was able to fix it was with a factory reset. I backed up all of my non-system apps with Titanium Backup, then wiped my data. When going back to restore apps and data, just let the Market re-download any apps you have backed up to your account, and use Titanium Backup only to restore the missing apps and data.
That would be my next suggestion. Complete backup, wipe, and reinstall. Once reinstalled, be careful not to click install more than once on an app -- this seems (to me) to cause instability. If an app doesn't start installing a few seconds after you hit the install button, disconnect and reconnect your wifi. If that doesn't clear it (although it always does, for me) an alternate method is to completely cold-boot the tablet.
I have a Galaxy S4 i9500.
It is rooted but i still have it on its stock software.
It worked well for months, but since 2 to 3 days, my google play store stopped connecting to the internet although my wifi works superfine with the other devices i have.
i tried deleting the google account and re-signing in but it got worse. Now WHENEVER i try signing into my google account, it says that " There was an error communicating with the google servers. Try Again Later."
My Phone is useless without the google apps.\
I tried changing date/time to automatic,
RE-Installing google play services
clearing data and cache
but NOTHING seems to work out !
Please help me, i'm really desperate for any help
Hi,
Clearing data of Google Play services, Google Service Framework, and Google Play Store, log out and log in again should solve your issue.

This is insane!
I go to playstore to check updates. It says "Error checking updates". I repeat the process and get frustrated. I clear data on playstore and go to add my account again only it brings up the side menu and when I move that out of the way, it says "try again". I hit that button and the menu slides back out! And I repeat this process and get frustrated.
So I did all the cache clearing, data clearing stuff for play, play services. I have no download manager. And still this problem.
I did not and will not remove and try to add my google account again because then I might lose access to my contacts. In fact, I haven't even checked if they still sync. If they don't, I suppose I could do that.
Other than that, what can I do?
This is the craziest thing I've ever seen.

Lol hello again sir
Go to www.gooogle.com/contacts
From any web browser, are your contacts in place?
Guessing you haven't but reboot your phone, cycle your WiFi and see if anything prompts you to sign in or sync.
Then go to settings/ accounts / Google and make sure it's allowed and syncing, check both sync and Google
Re-open Google play and see if it's working.
Oh and perhaps change WiFi to another or test on mobile data if you don't have a second signal to use.
=) Thanx for your help. I can get contacts in a browser. I rebooted a couple times, did wifi and mobile, and nothing. It syncs everything in the account as well. I just can't use play store. I cleared data and cache on playstore and services. And I can access play from a browser; so I didn't get banned or something. It's specific to this phone, it occurred sometime after the update to the latest firmware. I'm not sure if it's related.

Only thing I can think of would be to wipe all play services, store then reinstall.
This has happened before?
First time.... What is the best way to restore this stuff on the stock ROM w/o factory reset?

So you can usually clear data on all Google services.
But if that doesn't work then boot to recovery and just wipe system, not the whole phone.
This will mean you have to set up your phone again but your storage will remain unaffected. So images, files, music won't be touched
