Android market/gmail connection problem solution
Many of Android users including having problem to connect to market and gmail account, when you try to connect using wifi connection you get this message "this could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services".
Don't panic you are not alone facing this problem and this can be solved .
This strange bug in Google Android OS is because the application try to connect to the server using your operators data connection not the wifi , I dont know why they do that , may be to collect anonymous information about operators .. who knows !
The solution:
Now to slolve this problem you have to create a new access point Name , to do that on your phone go to :
Setting - wireless control - Mobile Network settings - access point names
create a new APN , now enter your operator setting , a full list of the International Mobile Network Code is HERE.
if you cant find all information please go to your operator web site or contact them by phone.
Save your new APN and dont forget to enable Mobile network option located in Setting - wireless control , now everything is ok to connect to your google applications , after the connection is successfull go back to the mobile network option and disable it if you want to use only the wifi connection .
I tested this on my HTC Tattoo and it work like charm.
If it you are forced to connect using Wifi for some reason please try to wipe and clear the cache in setting-Applications, or do a full reset.
Update:
Youtube method:
A new alternative solution appeared on the forums, seems working and solve the issue, the solution is to use youtube app as a bridge to connect to Google by creating and signing using youtube account:
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.
For those who get error when try to login to Android market like (Attention: Error has occured Please try again later), this error is mostly caused by Market application and can be fixed by uninstall and reinstall Market application in settings -> Applications .
And for Sony Ericson Experia users there is an update which update and fix for many users, get it from HERE, (check your phone model), and if all that doesnt work try to logout form Google account and clear all your phone cache, wish this help you all.

ReplyDeleteI sent my old phone (htc tattoo) to my bro so he can use it but before sending it to him, I did a hard reset so it's a fresh slate. Now he cannot sync his gmail and cannot go to android market. Tried the youtube trick but it still says " Can't establish a reliable data connection."
ReplyDeleteI had a gmail account synced into it before. I don't know if it is a factor to his situation right now.
I feel guilty now since I gave him a phone he cannot even use as a whole. Please help. :(

try to connect using network data not wifi, or try to hard reset again
ReplyDeleteI tried doing the youtube method but it doesn't work. I put down my EMAIL instead of my username like it said to, but it won't log me in I tried at least ten times with my e-mail and it won't let me, it only works if I actually do my username..
ReplyDeleteAt my HTC Wildfire, the market cannot be accessed: While the Youtube link worked just fine, and my Google account is added perfectly, I simply cannot open the market. It says "Attention, Error has occurred. Please try again later" -
ReplyDeleteThing is, I can't deinstall and reinstall it either, since it's not a downloaded app - that's a Wildfire problem, or what? In Settings -> applications -> manage or remove apps I can only deinstall downloaded apps.
Please help, this is driving me mad.
i have exactly same prob with my wildfire s did you get any solution
ReplyDeleteDEAR SIR THANX VERY MUCH, YOUR YOUTUBE SOLUTION WORKED WELL BUT STILL GETTING ERROR IN MARKET AND THERE IS NO OPTION TO UNINSTALL MARKET APP IN MY HTC WILDFIRE S
ReplyDeleteHello mohitanand, you can uninstall Market or Play using
ReplyDelete"Easy Uninstaller" app, search it on google play.
but first search for the market for your phone and how to install it, I think you need to use recovery mode and a market zip file
ReplyDeleteHOW WILL I DOWNLOAD IT SINCE MARKET APP IS NOT WORKING
ReplyDeleteOK, here is Easy Uninstaller : http://www.androiddrawer.com/6050/download-easy-uninstaller-1-2-8-app-apk/#.UHWP6q6JNXk
ReplyDeleteAnd here is the latest google play: http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/08/15/download-latest-google-play-store-v3-8-15/#download
but wait, before that try to clear the cache of every adroide app from the application lists, try to clear cache of of cached process also.
easy uninstaller canot delete a pre installed app
ReplyDeleteHello again mohitanand,
ReplyDeleteAfter some research here are available solution for google play errors:
Checking: Try the solutions in increasing order of severity.
Solution:
Go into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:Clear cache, Force stop, restart Google Play and retryGo into Settings, then apps, then All, click on Google Play Store. Then:Clear data, Force stop, restart Google Play and retryGo into Settings, then Accounts and Sync, Click on your account,
then on options icon, Remove account (ignore warnings - it's easy to
restore)Restart Google Play. It will ask you to add an account - add your original back in.if these cant help you, you have to reinstall or reset Android or install another ROM.wish that help you.
Sorry Guru, none of the above mentioned works on my Thl W8 (local China phone) whic hpacked with China Apps and Apps Stores (360 and 91 Phone assist).
ReplyDeletePlease help!
Try to install another fresh ROM, try this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2269438
ReplyDeleteInstallation instructions
1) Download installation ZIP package and put it on SD card.
2) Reboot to recovery. Turn off signature verification if it's on (ZIP is not signed)
3) Backup your current ROM - again, I strongly recommend using my ClockworkMod 6.0.3.2 recovery (as I already mentioned above)
so you can easily restore previous ROM if needed.
4) Perform factory reset (wipe data, cache, dalvik cache)
5) Install ZIP package downloaded in step 1)
6) Reboot

Dear Guru,
ReplyDeleteThe link has gone to the wrong website. But no worries, I found the forum you were mentioning.
It was a post by C3C076, right? CWM6.0.3.2 was from you? Wow!
I read almost the whole thread between C3C076 and others. I found there were many try and error to have the ROM done.
You see, I'm not a tech-savvy guy. Don't even understand what is wipe data, cache, dalvik cache, flash and etc.
I did try to download to my external SD card, but my laptop couldn't detect my Thl W8 unless I activate the 91 phone PC suite (a China PC suite for all phone).
Please advise.
Dear Guru,
ReplyDeleteBy the way, there is a new filmware available in Thl official website. Do you think I should use that first?
first if there is a new official ROM then try it first,
ReplyDeleteand about costume ROM, keep in mind three steps:
1- you must install something called Kernel or CMW Recovery, that will be used to install the costume ROM.
2- ReBoot to that new recovery with some keys combination and install the CWM ROM from the sdcard.
3- You only need a PC one time to install the recovery kernel.
4- if your phone is locked I advise dont install costume ROMs.

Dear Guru,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your prompt reply. The Youtube video comes in Spanish and I have no clue (not your fault).
I'm not sure whether my phone is locked because I'm able to use it with my Malaysia SIM card without problem.
The current problems are what I had mentioned before and also Outlook.com mails' notification does not work.
Hi Guru,
ReplyDeleteThis video comes in Spanish and I don't understand that language. Sorry.....
By the way Guru, how do I know whether my phone is locked or otherwise?
ReplyDeleteCharm! worked like charm. Just sign out of your you tube account if you're already signed in and sign in with your gmail account as he described.
ReplyDeleteThis should do the magic.
Thanks man. Am happy.
You are welcome, nice to hear that!
