[Q] Please i need help?? - Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
I have a problem signing in into the gmail on my phone every time i try it say "cant establish a reliable connection to the server "?
I called AT&T and they couldn't do anything so they gave me googles tech support number and they told me they could fix it but it would cost 90 dollars...
Cant use google play store or anything that need to use my gmail account on my phone..
If i do a factory reset would it fix the problem?
Sorry if this aint the right spot to post this at just kinda frustrated that i cant sign into it...

I would try reset APN setting by going to -settings - more networks - mobile networks - Access Point Names- then hit settings button- then chose reset to default.
then delete Google account from phone and create it again .

I can't delete my window live account on my HD7

For some reason when i try to delete my window live account the only option i get is sync and not delete like my facebook account.
I can't buy games now since i registered the account overseas and now i'm back in my home country. I can't download any games because it says i need an account registered to the country i'm currently in.
After registering i tried to buy games but i can't change the email address.
Is there any solution to this problem?
Just do a quick hard reset. Takes about 20 seconds with this phone.
You can't delete the main Live ID on the phone, as you must have at least one connected to it at all times. Try adding another one and then deleting the first one. Otherwise a hard reset will do the trick (at the expense of wiping your phone).
The thing is if i hard reset it i'll lose all my apps and it took me ages to download.
I tried making a new live one but it would only let me delete the new one and not the old one
As was said earlier, you cannot delete the live account, on which is your phone registered. It is not possible. The only way is to hard reset your phone and register it on different live id. But not even that you will have to download all apps again, but also, if you already bought some apps using the previous live id, you will have to buy them again because they are connected with the live id, not the phone itself.

the reason is simple: You can track your phone with your live-id, as well as delete or lock the phone, if your phone is stolen or lost. This is a security feature.
If it were just that simple to delete your live-id from the phone like your facebook-account, this feature would be unnecessary.

[Q] Failed to add google account

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.

Microsoft Account Question?

This might have been asked before, if so please pardon me. Long story short, The email that I created my Microsoft\live account has changed, the question is; how do I get my new account on my Windows Phone without having to do a hard reset and without loosing my apps, settings and so forth? Is this even possible or am I out of luck? Please advise. Thank you.

i had same problem however i was lucky only having the new wp8.1 phone for 2 days. so didnt have much on it so far... i had to hard reset.
next time you hard reset dont login with "Microsoft Account" login under "Other..." or "Advanced" with your hotmail email... becausae that "Microsoft account" is useless ****. it drains battery by constantly checking for new email. cause you only have one option which is " daily" at longest to check emails again. where on normal hotmail or google account you have " manual" check for emails.... and if you sign in using "Other..." or "Advanced..." with your hotmail account it will be same thing and you will be able to set "manual" "daily" "weekly" "1hour" so on... good luck bro ! back your stuff up to onedrive or something
That's what i was afraid of, I guess I will also have to sign up for a developers preview again with the new account and I will loose whatever games and or apps that I bought Why??????
There is only one way can change the default email id for the device without hard reset, through REGISTRY EDITOR.
Which is your device ?

Help!! Google Now Network Error

Hi All,
I have searched and tried many solutions on the net and still can't get my Google Now to work. Every time when attempt to start Google Now, it tells me there is an network error. I have tried the below, and so far no luck, and it is very very frustration. Please help!!!!
1. Paused all account history and cleared out past histories.
2. Under Google Settings -> Search & Now -> Now Cards -> Delete card preferences
3. Deleted Google account on my phone and re login
4. Tried an older version of Google Now, login, then update to the newest version.
The funny thing is when I used my wife's google account, Google Now pulls right now. It seems like my google account is messed up? Thank you guys in advance!
just tried my google account on my wife's phone, and it gave me the same error. i really think something is wrong with my google account and i have no idea where it went wrong.
Buying beers for someone who helps me figure this out. It's really bothering me!
got access to Google Now with VPN to a UK server. think this google now issue is a location issue. I do seem to have problem wiping my location history. no one else is having this problem?

Cant sync my outlook account

I've had this lg g4 for about two hours now and i have been unable to get my outlook email account to sync. previously on my lg g3 it was as simple as just logging in and it would sync however now on my lg g4 it wont even allow me to add the email account. starting from a factory reset i go into the email application and select Microsoft exchange. from their i attempt to log into my account. then it tells me its checking auto info then after a couple seconds it says in a pop up. setup incomplete. cannot connect to server. check network connection and info, then try again. ( i have tried doing it on my data network and on my wifi both give the same result) then it brings me to the manual setup ( server address domain etc) ive googled and searched and tried different ports and server addresses to no avail and i am dumbfounded as to how i am supposed to sync my account to my phone. another perplexing thing it seems is that even the outlook app from Microsoft on the play store gives me the same behavior saying it cannot reach the server and using exchange services apk. gives the same behavior (gave me error code: status 110). the other odd thing is that i can make it sync just my outlook mail (using pop?) however not my calendar contacts etc. any ideas?
my g3 never exhibited any of this behavior.

1) Did you try setting up exchange email from settings>accounts&sync and then add account and pick exchange? This is how I did and it is working just fine and I can sync my calendar + email.
2) Did you update built in LG Apps? Settings>About phone>Update center> App Updates and see if there are any updates(there is an exchange app which will also be updated)

1) Are the APN settings correct and selected under settings>more>mobile networks>access point names?
2) May I assume that you have data connection if not using WiFi? - you did indicate that you tried both, but just wanted to make sure.
3) Also set up exchange server could have some outage and it isn't the phone's issue. Keep trying, because it does work on my phone.

Try to reboot your phone maybe
We have Office 365 at my workplace. When I punch in my email in the Outlook app, I just get: "There was a problem accessing the site. Try to browse to the site again." It was working prior to rooting.
Are you using 2-step authentication? If so you need to use and Create a new app password from your security and password settings under Account Settings on the MS site. This is if you are using the regular email app vs the Outlook.com app from MS.
NM. See you got it working and was outage related. My bad.
Glad the OP was able to get this resolved ... I too use exchange for work and simply wanted to share my preferred exchange email app.

It's a bit pricey, but man is it leaps and bounds better than any other app I've used! Great support from the developers too!
