I've been having a problem with youtube since about 2 days ago. I used to be able to set the youtube app to use my regular youtube account (since it's different from my google account), but now it automatically logs in to youtube with my gmail account. I don't want that because I have no access to any favorites on my youtube account, or anything else. Also, it seems that search is broken with my google account, because it returns nothing, and it gives me constant "No network connection" notifications. Any ideas? how about linking my youtube account to my gmail account, is it possible? How?
I'm sorry to say I can't help, but rather could you tell me how to sign in with my YT account in the first place rather than google? I've never found an option for it and was never promted.
well, whenever I'd first set up my phone and went into youtube, I bring up "Menu>Account" and then it'd tell me something like "Youtube works better if you link it to a youtube account" and then it asked for my login info, after I logged in, my favorites, etc, all was in there
Hmmm my phone only ever did that on JF1.5, I think. Oh well...

I seem to be having some trouble with autonooter, and have tried it 4 times with no result.
Here is what happens:
13 Exit Youtube and Launch Gmail from "Extras".
14 Sync your Gmail Account and Exit. (If it fails to sync that is fine.)
Here, I go to sync my gmail account, and there is no account even there to sync.
So I try just inputting the google account manually, and I can get to the market and start a download but it never actually starts
I am not sure what is happening. I follow the directions to the letter and get the youtube set up, but when I go there, there is no account. Any help would be greatly appreciated..
you can try to download anther autonooter this is the one I used 1.0.1

You don't mess with the accounts, you login to youtube, exit from youtube, launch GMail and you either wait or tell it to sync. You don't go poking into accounts. The instructions in the wiki work flawlessly.

After I log into my youtube channel with my gmail address, I go into gmail and get that sync error. I just leave it alone and open up the market and get that working. Usually after I download a couple of previously downloaded Apps I will get a notification that I have mail. I don't understand what the sync issue is but it always seems to start working on its own.
Alright. Ill give it another go and not touch the sync screen and let you guys know. I appreciate the help!
Edit: actually the whole reason i messed with the accounts in gmail was because when i go to the marketplace it tells me i must sign in. Does this info help explain anything?

Yea that was it, looks like I just needed the more detailed instructions. The one on xda-devs didn't mention to put *****@gmail.com. I was just putting my account name, that was the issue.
Thank you for your help All is working well now.
I was happy with the NF, and added all the gApps after installing it. It worked fine. However the contact.apk was missing, so I reinstalled NF using CWR.
After that the contacts was back but since then I can't add google account after gApps are added. The "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error showed up every time.
I tried to reinstall NF, back to stock 1.0.1 and NF again, changing the time, delete settings.db, or even the YouTube trick. All of them don't work.
Any suggestions to solve it?
*update*: Youtube trick worked:
1. Go to youtube.com and sign up for a new account, using the email address you want to add to your phone
2. Open the YouTube application on your Adroid phone, sign out of your account if you're currently signed in (menu button -> sign out)
3. Sign in-menu button-my account, log in with your EMAIL ADDRESS (not your YouTube username)
4. Now You're all done - you can sign out of the account in the YouTube app again if desired. Go to Settings-Accounts and you should see your account in the list.

Market is not working anyway...
Getting the same error after installing Nookie Froyo v0.6.7 to SD, and adding the Gapps (per the nookdevs.com wiki), try to add account/Google results in "can't establish a reliable data connection to the server"
I can surf web, use the Facebook and Youtube apps.
Google's Blunder
Search google for can't establish reliable data connection change the options to 'latest' and it looks like this one's on google. I just flashed my firmware for my elocity a7 and got the same error all last night and this morning when trying to sync my google account. Hold fast, daylight will break soon. . .
update:
The YouTube worked when I try to add "@gmail.com" after my username.
However, the Market gives me a "A Server error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen." error message and I can't get in. Contacts and Gmail is now working though.
Im having the same issue.
Picked up my Nook Color yesturday evening, I've booted Honeycomb off the SD card and then used HoneyGApps.v2 to install Market and a bunch of other apps.
However I get the following error when attempting to add my Google Account:
"Cannot Establish a Reliable Data Connection"
Tried a few things like clearing app cache and rebooting but I can get around this issue.
Anyone have any ideas for what I could try? Im connected to a strong wifi connection so its not a connectivity issue, I can browse the net no problem.
Signing into Youtube with your gmail account username/password gets you logged in, but it looks like a Google network server is down now, so still no Market access
It's Google's problem after all?
I used a WHOLE DAY trying to fix it...(censored)
you sure it's Google's server down?

I opened the Youtube app and tried to sign in.
Even though I haven't "setup" a youtube account before... I used my Gmail address I was trying to add to my Nook. Youtube signed me in.
I went back to Settings -> accounts -> Accounts & Sync.. it gave me a black screen that was there for about 20 seconds. Then I got the "add account" screen with my GOOGLE account listed. When I opened it, it had nothing listed. Then, Calendar showed up. As I sat there, Picassa Web Albums, contacts and Gmail later appeared and started synching.
The sync of those items took about 20 minutes. (I did uncheck picassa).
Trying to open Market, I now get "a service error has occured" so I tried...
Code:
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Market
Clear Cache then Force Stop -- DO NOT clear data
Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> Google Services Framework
Clear data then Force Stop
Reboot
It didn't help.
Also, I notice my browser seems a little slow, and while the facebook app runs, it takes a bit to load up... And when I launch the Gmail app, it shows about have the screen worth of mail, but I see the "loading conversations" at the bottom of the screen for about 5 or more seconds
I just turned my Nook on this morning to find that I can now add my Google account and open the Market. (Morning being 7.50am UK Time).
Must have been a glitch or a few reboots required....
@dhumpherson, what issue did you have previously with adding your account? Was it after you click ont he android robot (right at first screen) and attempt to enter your gmail account? That is where i cannot have success. I did enter into gmail before rooting, and i've read that may be an issue and i need to get rid of the data saved from that login, but i haven't located instructions yet for that.
If you had been unable to login at that initial screen but found an answer please let me know what you did. *If i enter an incorrect password the continue interface will tell me this, so it knows i'm entering the correct one when i do, but it just returns me to the login page, after the display blinks.
I'm on MoDaCo r12, and it has worked flawlessly thus far.
All of the sudden Google Talk started telling "Google Talk authentication error", and it keeps playing the notification sound at random and sometimes very often. Additionally Gmail has stopped synchronizing without any notice. Not a single error message!
I have never seen this strangeness in the two years of messing around with Android. Settings -> Accounts and sync sometimes tells me that "Sync is having problems and will be back shortly", but mostly it just doesn't work without telling me about any errors.
The log shows lines like these:
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1373): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}
Sometimes there will be methods listed in the curly braces, but mostly not.
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1406): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {googlelogin=WWW-Authenticate: GoogleLogin realm="http://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin", service=""}
I have tried wiping /cache, re-flashing the ROM image, clearing data in any apps I think might be related to Google services. E.g. Google services framework, accounts, account and sync settings, Talk, Gmail, Market...
I have even tried changing the Google account password twice. The phone notices it and accepts my new password like it normally would, but the issue remains.
This is a @gmail.com account. I have a Google Apps account on my phone also, and that one works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to wipe everything and start fresh, but first I would like to know if anyone has any killer tips on to get rid of this. I'm thinking there might be a cached cookie/auth token or something somewhere that's causing this.

Check your date. Possibly you are either in the past or from the future

That's not it I'm afraid. Using ClockSync, so it was only off by about one second after a reboot just now. I tried fix permissions in despair, but to no avail.
As noted above, my Google Apps account works fine, it's just my gmail.com account that doesn't work. Somehow it seems that Contacts and Calendar are sync'ed. Meaning the time and date of last sync on those are a few minutes ago, but Picasa is dated two days ago, Gmail yesterday.
I checked it on my Nexus One too; it pops up the password prompt (because I changed my pass) and then goes on to synchronize everything perfectly fine. Wtf could cause this! I haven't really done anything but read Twitter, Facebook and some RSS via Pulse before it stopped working. I only updated a couple of apps that is not related in any way and have not changed any system settings.
Fcuk it, I wiped it all and restored apps with titanium backup. All good now.
Hi, i to have a problem with Google account sign in but its with Play store, every time i try to use Play store it asks me to ether use an existing Google account or make a new account even though i have a Google account set up on my phone. So my question is how can i get back on to Play store with my Google account? Tried by removing my account from my phone then going on to Play Store and signed in with my account but when i tried going back to Play store again it asked me to ether make a new account or use an existing account.
I guess its becoz in some parts of the world youtube services has been shutdown and it as affected google services communication badly. I live in pakistan and here we cant access to google play and other google services as well.

Once had the same problem and until I realized I had an error with my baseband, I pulled out a lot of my sparse hair.
Make a good backup and try to flash new bb, then Google will recognize you again (I hope!!!!)
Hi all
Wonder if anyone knows how to solve this problem (or bypass the system normal behaviour)
I have two phones with the same live account (in order to share my purchases on both phones). I can have different emails on both phones and everything worka great but, regarding the facebook, although I enter different facebook accounts on each phone, on the second phone I have the chat working with the the first facebook account. on the feed it shows correctely but the profile pic is from the first facebook account again... !
Its insane... please Help!
Thanks
Did you also link your facebook account with the microsoft account on the homepage?
or just in the phone itself?
The chat only works when the Live Account is connected to the Facebook account. This is necessary to enable push on Facebook Chat. Given that it's not an official Facebook Client the phone would otherwise have to stay connected to Facebook permanently so this is run through Microsoft's server infrastructure. In the end this means: two phones with one account will always share the Facebook chat, Live Messenger as well as Twitter integration. There currently is no way around that.
You could use another way to access the Facebook chat though.
Title says it all. My M8 refuses to sync with my gmail account. I noticed it a few days ago when I stopped getting notifications for gmail. Gmail, youtube, and even the Play Store simply do not work. Gmail tells me there is a network error and no connection, YouTube just does not load, and the Play Store tells me there is no connection. Neither my main google account or my school account can sync. However, within gmail, my hotmail account syncs just fine. I can access my gmail accounts just fine through web, it's just in my phone that they do not work. I tried to remove my main gmail account to see if that would fix it but when I went to add it back the phone says "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your android device may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care." Thinking my account may have been hacked or some ****, I went into gmail on my laptop to change my password. Once I logged in, I noticed I had a chat request from an email account that I've never heard of before. Lizzie or some crap like that. I changed my password and tried again on my phone. No dice. I'm running Badseed with their custom kernel, if that makes any difference. Thanks in advanced!
