HC: Can't register with Google?

I'm seeing people getting the Market and installing gmail, apps, etc. However, when I try to launch the Market and sign into Google, all I get is that it cannot communicate with Google's servers.
What's the deal here? What am I doing wrong?
It literally sits there trying to authenticate with google for about 5 minutes and then just fails. I can open the browser and go to websites, so it's not the wifi connection. Any ideas?

I am not sure why it is not working for you, but a few things to try that might help:
*browse to Google and sign into Gmail first, then go to the Market
*browse to the new android market where all your previous downloads are and try to push and App through from there (set up your NC as a device if you haven't already or do so from your PC)
Basically.....try to go anywhere where you can log into your google account and then maybe when you can get to the Market.
have you actually installed the Market, pushed it via adb, or what?

I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve this yet?

I was in the middle of posting how I had the same issue, but then it got fixed....I went into the GMail app, tried to sign in, typed in the wrong PW, it said I put in the wrong PW, tryed to sign in again, and it actually signed in. Market works now too.
Maybe it was just a fluke, but try putting in the wrong login info first. :\

I have the same problem as well have installed gmail and market with adb but cant sign into either of them google tells me it cant establish a reliable data connection running HC version 4

try signing in with youtube like we always had to?

I'm in the same boat. I'm not sure if this thread is even live anymore, but maybe. So , any word on what to do here?

Yeah, I went to CM7

Finally managed to Sync with HTCSense.com

Hi,
I guess this might be a common problem faced by a lot of people. Syncing with HTC sense and locating phone on map and other features.
This is not my solution but read it somewhere on some forum. So the credits to that user.
Didn't find any info on this issue here so posting, If useless, i request the mods to delete it.
1. Delete the HTC Sense account from your Phone and delete the HTCsense.com account by going to the website.
2. Now register a new account on the website. Follow the instructions and verify your email. Now you'll be at the screen which says login through the phone.
3. Now go to HTC Hub and it will ask you to sign-in or create a new account. Select sign-in and sign in with the id you registered on the website.
4. It will ask for a few confirmations, click on Yes.
5. Now website on PC will move forward to take you to the dashboard and display the message that Initial sync is being performed. Let it complete.
6. Once sync is complete you can see your phone on the map. (You might need to refresh it).
Screenshots attached.
Credits to the original finder( whoever he is)

The initial sync takes ages, never finish. How long did it take on your initial sync.

It does take a long time. Mine took about >30 mins. Just wait a while and then try refreshi.g the sense site on pc.

I set mine up more than a month ago. Logged in today and it's still performing the initial sync. I'm gone try it again.

You can try it again. Even i had set it up a month ago but that didn't work out. I tried it again by above method and it worked.

Probably WIFI cannot be used for sync. Try turn 3G data connection on.
I don't have a lot contacts in my phone, But it did take a really long time. Even worse, after the initial sync, I can only use the phone finder feature from htcsense.com. There is no way I can browse my contact list and manage sms on htcsense.com. It sucks. I assume IS is not well supported on htcsense.com

[Q] I Need access to the Android Market form a "sanctioned" country.

Hello.
I live in a "sanctioned" Country: Cuba
Meaning that I don't have access to the market, The app just closes itself after a few seconds trying to connect. I gess you know the huge problem this is, would you imagine yourself without access to the market???. Every website I go gives me a barcode linking to the market or says "Just go to the market and ..." and then I just have to smile.
I can get to the market using the browser but the service ask me to log in one time with the app and buy/download at least one app.
This is what I've done to try to workaround the issue.
Setup Proxy: Market App doesn't work with proxy. I think only the browser does.
Installed Market Access apk and/or Market Enabler apk. Any of these are suppose to emulate a different carrier so the market "thinks" I'm in another country. It doesn't work.
Setup VPN. This should hide my IP. VPN connects OK. I get different IP which i Can tell just by opening ipchicken.com. So digitally speaking I'm in california but MARKET is a no go.
Updated vending.apk with the app from a friend's phone and still the same.
Any Ideas?
I had given up a couple of months ago and I was getting everything from mediafire, megaupload etc. But since I joined xda-devs I'm eager to update and test new ROMs and ROM manager is not able to download Clokworkmode Recovery. This is annoying. I know I have some other ways to flash ROMs but I still want to get to the market anyway.
Samsung i897 Captivate Stock 2.1.1 Unlocked and Rooted.
Thanks.

Try installing and using this http://db.tt/ypqbCr8U to spoof the market.

That's what I get for reading/posting at 4:30 in the morning. :/

My best guess would be that american buisnesses are filtering all things cuban. ISPs and wireless providers included. Tough luck bro. get rid of the Castros.apk that should resolve most of your device issues.

You don't need Rom manager to get CWM, not for the captivate. You can drop in any rooted kernal and most of them have CWM available to them.
I would recommend starting here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1300843
PLEASE NOTE - that if you want to update to Gingerbread 2.3 you need the newest bootloaders!

Play Store Error

I have searched and called high and low all over Google and talked to reps. Can't seem to kick this Error Code 403. It is only the paid apps that won't download. Tried all sorts of methods of clearing cache to play store, Google services, Google framework, Uninstall updates, Factory resets, Removing accounts and re adding. Clearing cache in recovery. All with restarting before attempting a redownload on both WiFi and mobile networks. Please someone help. Out of the box it does this to me and it sucks.

I went into app manager and force closed app first, then cleared its data and cache.
Go back out and started up play store like normal. Cant remember if I got error first time, but okayed it and started it again. Then it loaded in and havent had issue since

Update the latest version of play store.

Did you have multiple Google accounts on your last phone? Make sure you are downloading the app with the same account that you originally made the purchase with. I had multiple accounts on my S3, then when I got my S5 I only put one of the accounts back on and was getting this error for a few apps even though GPlay said "purchased". You might also want to check that the date and time on the phone are correct.

You were absolutely correct. For some reason some of my purchased apps were showing on the wrong account under the all section. It went away after wiping and being careful which account I downloaded from. Thanks for the help guys.

Just use only one account in play store. don't do multiple.

Data Recovery

I have a ATT S5 that a close friend's mom gave me and asked if there was any way that I could get the photos off it. The friend has passed away and after numerous attempts to recovery the google account and trying to figure out the password, they still can't get into the phone. The phone currently is a stock ATT s5 with fingerprint enabled. I am just looking to see if there are any options. It looks like custom recovery flashes with odin aren't an option with ATT version so I am not sure where to turn. Any help would be greatly appreciated in pointing me in a direction.

Not entirely sure about flashing, but if it is stock rom then googles ring/lock/locate may work on it.
Just have to know the email and password for the Gmail account tied to the device.
Then got to Google.com/android/devicemanager
Hit lock, change the password, and you are good
Also from google.com/accounts/contact/deceased?hl=en
Just incase

Yeah that's the core of the problem. The family doesn't have access to the google account yet since it takes a good amount of paper work to take over a passed away's persons account. If I had those credentials, I wouldn't have to try to crack into this device. Thanks for the information however.

Did you take the phone into the store to see if they have a way to get in?

Yeah the store won't help.
So I have been doing some more reading and have a thought. The recovery mode says this phone is KOT49H.G900AUCU2AND3. Is it possible to odin flash back down the stock firmware 4.4 using the single AP file so that it wouldn't wipe data. Would android boot up as a new install (with no security) but would still have emulated SD card in tacked?
