My basic problem is a failure to connect to google servers on my phone. The part I don't understand, is that it did work at one point in time. To explain everything...
I bought my phone on ebay and I logged into my gmail account and everything synced and worked great. I wanted to root my phone and install Cyanogen, so I used the guide to downgrade. I used the dreaIMG.nbh file and then installed cupcake and when I tried to log into google server it kept timing out. I wiped everything and re-tried, same thing. I switched sim cards with the other phone on my account (we have even more unlimited everything family plan with tmo) and it logged in and everything worked and I was at firmware 1.5. As soon as I put my card in I got a sync error and I could not use my data plan at all. I used wifi to download the Linda file manager and the one thing I messed up on is booting into the recovery img and I turned it off instead of connecting it to the pc and installing Cyanogen. It went back to the boot menu after that and I tried to log in and it wouldn't let me. I tried other sim card and that one didn't work.
After all that frustration I wiped the system, re-applied the dreaIMG.nbh and then cupcake and it still wont let me log in. Is there anyway I can fix this? It is the thing that drives me insane. I feel like I wasted my money on this expensive phone for it to not be able to use my data plan. Please help me I have been trying for hours to get this to work!
I used AutoNooter 3.0 on my gf's NookColor, and everything went great, but I set up all the logins under my accounts since she was gone. When she got back, I deregistered my account so I could set up her account. I accidentally left the SD card in, so I'm not sure if that's where my troubles came from. Now, youtube won't open, Gmail won't refresh, and the market is not downloading apps.
It looks like I could use ADB to get these fixed, but I can't for the life of me get ADB working even after following the exact steps. I've tried reflashing, but it's still remembering the wifi password and behaving the same way.
Do I have to do that 8 times reboot step, or is there something else I can do since it seems rooted to me except for the google apps?
Got it running. For anyone having this same issue in the future, here's what I did:
Erased and Deregistered
Reburned the .img onto the SD card
Reflashed
It was actually pretty simple. Now I just need to get to 10 posts so I can post in the development thread in the future.
This is due to Google Talk Authentication Error which is annoying the hell out of me.
I literally did everything: flashed a fresh stock rom, factory reset, it started working for maybe 10 minutes but now it stopped and I it won't sign into Gtalk and therefore I can't download apps. What the hell? Can anyone please help meh?
Is your phone time and date correct?

Cleared the data cache in settings> applications for market and download manager?

Yes, I did. Basically, Gtalk signs in and stays that way if I take out the sim but when I put it back in it says Google Talk Authentication Error or something like that not even 3 minutes after turning the phone back on.
I want to mention that this is stock firmware 2.2.
Update: I get Google Talk Authentication Error without the SIM in the phone as well.. It just refuses to sign in some time after I turn on da fone.
Same problem here, even after flashing fresh rom......
there is this authentication error popup, saying something about chatservice has to be turned on......weird
tried everything!
Change SD card or format it..there were so many people hv the same issue. And so many suggestion..i tried everything that was suggested, and lastly i format my SD card..so far it works fine after 2wks..another common issue is people who use SD 16gb or more class 6 n above curiously have this issue..but most 8gb users seems fine.
Fixed by pulling out the similar and forcing gtalk to log in thru wick, then put similar back in and it works.
I meant sim, damn autocorreccltion

I have a motorola droid A4855 and I'm running cm 7.2RC2i installed gapps and ive got rom manager/clockwork recovery and so on...
Here is my issue. I have never been able to get the play store to work. I just bough this phone from a friend of mine a week ago for like $10. I haven't had a phone in almost a year and I'm still somewhat new to Android.
Well before I rooted this phone and put the ROM on it it was still on its basic ROM. I was able to at least open the Market and it would have me put in my credentials to log into google to do the sync thing so I could access and download apps. but it always said it couldnt connect. I have it running off of wifi because I do not have a 3G data package as of right now. I'm not going through a traditional US phone carrier either, although I will be in the near future here. Right now my wireless carrier is through Reach Out Wireless (a government supplemented wireless program). It runs on the Verizon network though. I check my number and it comes back as Cellco dba Verizon Wireless.
Now that I have rooted and installed CM I installed the gapps and now have the Play Store (as opposed to the Market previously). I click on the app to open it and it gives me the dialogue of "You must add an account to the device to continue. DO you want to add one now?" and it gives me the option of Yes and No. I click on yes because I obviously want to, but then the app just closes and I'm back to my home screen. I've downloaded and installed the play store from several different sources and it still doesn't work. Neither do any of the other apps that require a google login. They all ask to chose the account and there are none visible and they give me the option to create a new account but I click on that and it does nothing as well...
Anyone have any idea why this could be happening? Is it just because I don't have a data package? Every other app on my phone works perfectly fine through wifi. And I have tried about 6 different wifi sources as well at home, work, 3 different mcdonalds and a starbucks.
try to read this topic
it may help you

Problem solved. I was not installing the proper gapps package... D'OH! stupid me lol
Ok so not completely solved... The play store keeps saying that my device is not compatible with a lot of the apps I want to download. Most of them say that they require 2.1 and up or 2.2 and up. Well I have 2.3.7 with CM7RC2 on my droid correct? Therefore my device should be compatible right? I called google and they said they would check into it. I'm not sure what could be causing this to happen...
For some strange reason, Spotify no longer seems to recognize my phone's internal storage. I'm unable to listen to the radio and the following error pops up: 'No SD Card Found: We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space". This started occurring after I upgraded to Mike's ARHD 10 (and remained after I upgraded again to 10.1). I tried Googling the issue, but couldn't find a single instance of anyone facing a similar problem. I'm fairly certain the rom is not to blame since no one else mentioned anything related to this--plus, the rom has been awesome thus far (just like Mike's earlier versions). I tried fixing permissions, and even re-installing rom after performing a full wipe. I also should mention that after uninstalling then re-installing Spotify, the app seems to run fine for a little while--but the error will rear its ugly head again after I try to open the app again at a later time . Also, I am able to access my internal SD card without a problem via ES File Explorer and everything looks about right when I go to Settings > Storage.
Any help would be appreciated
I get the same message when trying to start Spotify on my stock Gnexus. All other apps using internal storage works fine.
I have now uninstalled and reinstalled Spotify and for now it works fine, but I have to download all offline lists again

Thanks for the response. I started to receive this error (fairly recently) when I installed or updated my current rom. I got tired of having to keep re-installing the Spotify app, so eventually I went into Settings and decided to 'Delete cache and saved data' for the heck of it. This might not exactly be a feasible option for those who have a paid subscription and actual saved data, but I have yet to receive the same error again. :highfive:

Same issue here on my S4 (found this thread through the Spotify community... funny how us XDA members always end up troubleshooting products, lol). I was on Slimbean and thought it was the rom. Restored my stock Nandroid and got the same error a few hours later. Apparently, this will happen again later. Just wanted to chime in with my experience.
Same on HTC One. Put Sentinel rom on over the weekend, re-downloaded all my playlists and it worked fine on Monday...this morning, get the SD card message.
I was looking at where all my space was last night since I put Sentinel on and there was about 1.5gb in a Spotify folder under sdcard/data...the folder has gone.
I will re-install Spotify and see what happens.

It's been my experience in my past two and a half years here at XDA that the developers of ROMs and homebrew usually find a solution before the actual app developers do. In this case, there was a thread in the spotify support forum. That led me here. *shrug* it's how we do.

I come to XDA to find workarounds but when I pay (subscribe to) for something I expect the devs to work on a solution, I think the people working at spotify would like to hear about your problem too, because you can help them but many other people would just give up on them...
I had a problem too and contacted them, they are friendly and responsive

I always go directly to them. And I did. However, posting in multiple places never hurts. if you read my original post, you would see I found this thread from the Spotify support threads.

Spotify has many issues with android and the sd card error problem,i personally read the spotify forums and there are hundreds if not thousands having the same error spotify really should get there act together and fix this after all it is a paid service and you should be getting what you pay for.
What i did was put a new sd card in formatted it using the phone and kept spotify out,everything worked fine,so my advice for now would be to avoid spotify at all costs as you lose everything thats on the card as well ,at least until they fix this bug,of which we are all having to pay for
