[Q] Cant connect to google servers with kitkat roms - Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've tried installing both carbon and omni kitkat roms.
For both of them when I try to set up my gmail account I get "Cannot connect to Google Servers".
I've been searching around and all I get is to modify /etc/hosts (It does not apply as it only contains localhost entry) or to disable 2 step auth in google, but I dont have it on.
I tried re wipping everything after installing with no success
Any guesses?

Leave it for some time to update. I think that it needs an update after install. And retry.

Google Maps 4.2.0 now in Market

http://googlemobile.blogspot.com/2010/05/google-maps-for-android-gets-biking.html
Includes biking directions, sharing of places via SMS/e-mail, etc, and a new Navigation icon in the app launcher.
G maps
Thx, for the update notice!
The Navigation program says my region (Canada) is still not supported. I know some work has been put in to get around that in earlier versions but I was wondering if anyone was planning on hacking the new one...just out of curiosity, really.

I had such problems on other ROM when I had little space on my cache partition. But on CM 5.0.7 I have this partition nearly empty.
Just look into logcat. There is probably some error message.

*downloading*
yes it helped to get 4.2.0
but market still shows google maps as "to be downloaded"
anyways, your url helped to get 4.2.0 thanks so much
I tried to update multiple times this morining on wifi with the same error "download unsuccessful. I tried everything, wipe cache, fix permissions - NO GO. Then I tried to do the update with wifi off, on the edge network and it worked. Hope this helps someone.
I got the "low storage space" error while downloading and got the same installation unsuccessful error that others are getting. After freeing up some internal storage and then rebooting, 4.2.0 installed just fine.
Must of been a G1 thing lately. I finally got the new Map app to download today. Took me I don't know how many tries. I finally ended up deleting 4.11 or whatever the last was. Rebooted a few times and then tried again.
It's not just the G1. I read in the Nexus forum that those users were also having a hard time installing 4.2.0. Something was definitely weird with this update.

4.2 Play Store Not Working on both mine and my sister's N7/Help

Hi:
My N7 in San Francisco and my sister's N7 in New Mexico can no longer download from the PlayStore. We get the following error:
Update for xxx could not be downloaded due to an error. Error retrieving information from server. [RPC:S-5:AEC-0])
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tom
Same problem in Germany with Galaxy Nexus and Android 4.1.2!
I think it's a global Google Play problem.
Found a lot of this posts in different forums today.

Do you have the 3.9.17 version? Open settings/apps/downloaded and open Google play and check version. While there clear data, force stop and reboot. Did you both do ota update, or did you both flash the update? We have 2 N7's, mine rooted and both of ours got the Ota at the same time. Both play stores work perfectly. Heck I didn't even loose root on mine.

I have version 3.9.16. Tried to clear data, stopped and rebooted the phone. After that Google Play asked for terms agreement but the error still exists.
I posted this in another similar thread...
That commonly happens for stopping and clearing data of Google Framework services. Also break Push Notifications in some cases.
Fixes:
1. Clear data and cache of Play Store or
2. Remove and re add Google account and worst scenario do a
3. Factory Reset (then you can restore backed up apps but without data to minimize further issues.)

just Clearing the data of market place and force close it didnt do the trick
so i removed google account, rebooted and added google account again, it worked! :good: without factory reset
I am also having a similar issue, however, i have tried removing and re-adding my daughters gmail account, i have cleared the cache and force stopped the play store and i have also done a factory reset. While doing the factory reset does initially resolve the problem, shortly after the second or third download i get an error message advising that it could not verify my account details, it then comes back with the 'error retrieving information from server[RPC:S-5:AEC-0]'. What i have noticed is that the device is not registering itself against the gmail account as when i sign in from my laptop it does not show the device in the list when trying to download an app.
device - A13MID
Android - 4.0.4
baseband - 1.5
kernel - 3.0.8+
any other information you want i can get but id appreciate any help i can get as my daughter is getting kinda upset she cannot install any apps on her new tablet.
(last resort would be to return the device but that will cost me greatly as it was shipped from china (was ordered through amazon).

Since you were comfortable wiping the device I would recommend downloading the fastboot files and manually flashing them through the boot loader. Go to fresh 4.2.
Now there is a commonality between some of these stories I've heard. How old is your daughter listed on the account? You don't have to post it lol I'm not a creeper, but if she is underage I wonder if it causes issues... Just some random thoughts.
Is your N7 GSM? Because it shouldnt have a baseband

1)Try clearing data app+ cache of playstore.. if that doesn't help you
2) If u have "freedom" app installed.. then uninstall that(some users reported this)
3) Lastly,if you have any adblocker installed then restore your original hosts files from it....
4) reboot
5)playstore must work

He meant to remove your Google account and add it back. Go to settings, scroll to Google, click your account, click the three dots at the top right and remove account. Then go to playstore and sign in back. I'm sure that's what he meant.

[Q] HTC One Automatically Reboots "Process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding"

[Q] HTC One Automatically Reboots "Process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding"
I managed to "successfully" flash the ViperOne 6.1.0 ROM onto my Sprint HTC One (S-On.) However, I get a message saying "Process com.htc.htcdialer isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" This causes my phone to automatically reboot every couple of minutes, making it useless. I also noticed some thins don't work such as the Play Store and the search bar on the home screen. It is apparent that something is wrong with the flash (even though I tried to flash it twice after I saw this behaviour the first time and I did wipe both times.)
What is going on? How can I fix it? What causes it (what I really want to know is if I were to fix it and then attempt to install the ROM again, would it cause the issue again?)
Maybe flash the latest radio/baseband

Does that mean flash the firmware? If so, that won't be possible. My phone is S-On, and from what I've read it needs to be S-Off. I tried to make it S-Off a few minutes ago using Rumrunner but it failed (because my phone automatically rebooted during the process I assume.)
Plus, I can't access my phone's storage via my computer; it doesn't seem to mount properly. Wouldn't matter if it did anyways, as it disconnects after a minutes anyways. I was hoping I could just install the stock ROM and leave this stuff alone for now.
I should mention that this is the first time I've ever tried to flash a custom ROM or really do anything "advanced" with an Android phone. I didn't expect to run into so many bloody problems. What a nightmare.

You can flash the radio from recovery.
Since you can't connect to PC while booted to rom boot to recovery and type
Code:
adb push filename.zip /sdcard/
When it's on your phone just choose it and flash once it's done flashing wipe cache and dalvik cache and you should be good

Okay, I flashed the latest radio. So far it hasn't said anything about the dialer crashing and when I open it, it actually works. However, the play store and search bar (and probably other things) still don't work. Something is still wrong.
For now I just want to make my phone work and I will try to go back to the stock ROM, though I still want to get the custom ROM working.

I flashed it doesn't seem like it's helping. The only problem that I am experiencing right now is that the play store doesn't work. It just shows a blank, white screen and seems to re-open over itself. I get a notification saying "An application requires installation of Google Play Services. Requested by com.google.android.gsf.login" When I click on the notification, it takes me to the play store and nothing happens (though one time the phone rebooted after I pressed it.) I found that I do have Google Play Services installed and that the notification is supposed to take me to the store page for the app, but it doesn't work.

Connected via Wi-Fi. My phone says I am also connected to the network, but I believe that this is false because I have not activated my phone (unless activating it on the stock ROM transfers over to this one?) and in the rare occasion that I get ANY service in this part of my home, it'd be only one bar, not four.

yeah, it's a known bug, that's why you have to use the sprint zone app, under my device to update the profile. how i got it was to go to titanium backup and found the sprint zone apk and restored app and data. but it may not work for you, it worked for me though.

Ah, okay. I thought I had to have the app installed. Didn't know I had to do it through the app rather than settings. Unfortunately, it didn't solve the Google log-in issue.

I posted earlier stating that I saw Google Play Services listed under my apps, and it was up-to-date as far as I know. It does ask me if I want to install it but then takes me to the Google account sign-in (which I can't sign into.) Clearing the data on every Google app I saw and rebooting did not resolve the sign-in issue.
I'm going to try to re-flash the ROM, fix, and radio because I managed to sign in during the set-up. I'll see if that clears up all of my problems.
EDIT: WORKED! Few minutes in and not a single problem so far. Signed into Google and the Play Store works. I may be speaking too soon though.
Thanks for the help!
Side question: How can I remove some apps such as HTC Apps and HTC Backup? I click on them and it says the apps are not installed but they still show up in the list of apps.

SlimLP 0.14 ROM, Exchange Services has stopped working error

Throughout using the tablet I keep getting this message popup that Exchange Services has stopped working.
Anybody know how to fix this issue? I just started Rooting and ROMing, this is my first device.

More controversial is the source. I use Open GAaps builds w/o issue. Others claim only builds tweaked for SlimLP will function properly. Both should work and auto update to the latest versions once installed. As you (and others) have discovered it doesn't always work that way. Don't have a decisive answer; simply recapping past discussions.
If you are indeed on 0.14, 0.15 is out. Try flashing the latest version. Hopefully you've already had it fixed but I still recommend you update your rom
I was running SlimLP and I kinda liked it, but the CM build is updated very regularly so I feel a little better on a more up-to-date build. Performance may have been a tad better on Slim though, hard to say.
Mee too. I found that Exchange services stop working if Gmail app is installed. Just freeze Exchange services with Titanium backup.
