It seems both myself and another user, spanning 4 ROMs, seem to be having a marketplace problem I was hoping others could confirm. Whenever we try to set up an account for the marketplace, the setup app returns "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." I'm trying to figure out if this is our problem, or something gone wonky on Google's end. Can anyone else confirm? Is there an alternative way to force the account into the tablet through a hack of some kind?
* Note: this is setting up a new account, not when trying to do something under an account you've already added to the device.
UPDATE
Thanks to thebadfrog for piecing the bits together on this to figure out what was happening. He's also got Market Enabler available for download at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18721949/ch.racic.android.marketenabler-1.apk

Cant establish comms to google
I get teh same message when I try to do anything with Google. just got a new tab and flashed to Vegan plus the supplement. Any attempt to use a google ID with google stuff (GMail, google voice, marketplace) fails, but I can get the same gmail account through the regular mail client (not Gmail client).
Any idea what is going on.. please post..
I will most ceratinly confirm this, been messing with this for the better part of the day. I found a way to get a account onto the tab, but you can not use it to access the market, gmail and my calendar will access fine but no market love.
The "fix" for getting an account onto the phone was to login to you gmail account through the youtube app. It works but like I said it doesn't let you access the market.
Going to start assuming that Google is screwing something up again.
To add a little more, running the latest vegan and had the tab setup last night and working. After tinkering today I did a complete reinstall of the rom and that is when it quit. The other tablet that I also setup is still working and had apps installed today.
As a note to people with more knowledge then me, when I go to clear the cache for the market app, its greyed out and show a zero size.

I'm having the same problem. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?
I'm experiencing the same problem. I had it working with TNT Lite 4.2, then I went to do the market fix and it wouldn't connect. So I reflashed it and no luck. I even went back to the stock TNT and then re flashed clockwork and then tnt. I am thinking google may be trying to block us out or something, because this is not a Google approved device and I can log in on my Galaxy tab and Droid 1.
I assume that the approved devices may pay a royalty or something for market access. I'd be more then willing to pay a bit if it meant I wouldn't have to deal with this.

Having the same issue. I've had it working since Saturday, but after downloading Twitter, TnT lite 4.20 started giving me the "android.process.acore has stopped repsonding" error every few seconds, so I did a factory reset, hasn't worked since. I have reflashed TnT lite, stock, CWM, and Vegan beta 5 and I always get the same error.
I'm have this same issue with my eLocity A7 after a re-flash. Luckily I had re flashed my g tablet earlier and set it up prior to this mess.
If I wasnted big brother controlling what I can and can't do, I would have just gotten an iPad.
...seems to me like Google's been monkeying with the market since the beginning of the year... my guess is that they're prepping for honeycomb & tablets...
The Google acct workaround is run the youtube app which will prompt for acct IIRC, or maybe add it in manually(been a while since I last did it this way) which will get acct syncing but market still appears to be borked for new people(according to posts), while people who had it previously setup, it is still working...
(Mine worked fine this morning, but I haven't tried it since then...)
Question, since I have another working tab, is there a way to copy over its partitions to the one that cant get market access?
They had been setup using the same credentials, so from a user/password issue, having them have exactly the same info is fine.

Got a solution. Install Market Enabler and select a carrier. That'll make the Market happy again.
I dont suppose someone has or will be willing to make a nandroid backup for us so we can restore it?
Install this apk to spoof Google into thing you have service

Possible answer
Many many many many market fixes and reboots later my market is working fine. Even Appbrain. I did nothing different other than to stop google framework and clear casche, stop market and clear cache. For good measure I sometimes threw in Titanium backup to clear caches although I could see they were already empty. Then reboot - and wait and wait and then try again. There does seem to be some efficacy to letting the system sit for some time before you try the market again after rebooting but honestly I can discern no pattern. Once the market is working, you kind of get conservative about messing it up again. Now if only the wifi security would mysteriously fix itself....
+1 Thanks badfrog. Worked for me.
Thank goodness the Market Enabler works so well. Although I hope google fixes this problem. Last night my G Tab was fine until I flashed Vegan 5.1
Android FTW

I downloaded this and it enabled me to login to Google and Marketplace.

Today I received my new shiny Asus Transformer, everything works great except the Market itself...
I can't even download any apps, paid or free. When I try to download any apps, it start like trying to download, but there is no progress on notification bar and it just keep like that.
I reset the tablet several times, also, cleaned the cache of the Market and Framework services, shutdown (restart) several times... nothing
Is this happening to anyone? I searched this forum and performed the steps above, but still nothing...
Please, help
Have you look into My App area, you will see, not installed list of apps. I get that as well...I am not sure if it's a bug or intended. Sometimes, it would stay at download forever. I got to go out and go back into the Market and redo it all over.

Yes, sometimes the apps I am trying to download don't even appear there and sometimes it does. When it says "Installing" sometimes, 1 hour can pass and still nothing... no progress on the notification bar.
In fact, I can't install anything from there, not even using the website version, https://market.android.com/
I had/have this same issue I think its a bug in the market app. I've just flashed the new firmware and it seems to work OK now.
My solution was to press back over and over until I exited the market fully, then start a new instance of it. Works on and off.
Ill let you know if the update solves this issue.

Thanks for the info.
I tried that, still no luck I need to know if this is a widespread issue or not.
I have the EVO and tried to download apps and install them now without any problems.
Also, I have discovered that I can't log in into GTalk either, but I can browse without any issues.

Sounds like an odd issue with your account. Try to check settings, accounts an sync .. and see if anything is amiss. If not, then try to create a new gmail account, and use that to login to market/gtalk. See if there is some confusion as to your phone account and your tablet. Do you have settings>Privacy ticked off for google to back up your apps and sync them? Try disabling if so.
Had same issue and went into settings and had to delete my gmail account and then add it again, worked fine after that!
Thanks for the replies.
1. The Backup and Restore settings are turned off.
2. I have created another Google account and removed the original, still the same problem.
3. The EVO is currently off just in case.
After doing some research, I've discovered that Gtalk have something to do with the Market, if Gtalk can sign in, then the market should works for downloads. If not, then there is a problem.
ok... wtf
After adding a new Google account while replacing the original one, the issue still happened.
Then, I decided for a million times, to make another Factory Reset with my original account again... now GTalk logon and the Market download/install apps
I will keep this thread in mind and report if anything weird happens again.
Android Market hates me. I didn't really want to have to create another gmail account but I have tried every other trick posted and still can't get apps to download.
I had this same problem with my Samsung Fascinate. 3G would download fine but I couldn't get WiFi to work until just recently when I updated the radio that came with the OTA Froyo update plus a new custom rom/kernel. I'm not sure which piece all of the sudden made things work but I was certainly happy. What's so frustrating is that I set up a Droid on the same home network with absolutely no problems from day one.
Amazon App store works fine but many of the apps I want aren't available there. Grrr.

This occurred to me after rooting the TF. I was able to correct it by going into applications and force stop and clearing data on both Market and both google framework services. Then try to restart market, if you don't get a error go back to applications and do it again. Once you get the error reboot, when you try market after the reboot it will ask you to accept terms again and then all is was right again with the world.
I have the same problem. How I can do a Factory Reset?
It was working ok but now it gives an error with the server. Eventually it will download the aplication after trying several times but will fail in the instalation. I have deleted and created again my account with no results.
Welcome to my problem. Another member told me the issue lies with our google accounts and how it syncs up with the market.
I have tried the other methods deleting cache / signing in and out etc. to no avail.
Only solution is to factory reset. Sad thing is it has happened to me 3x in the past 5 days.
I only hope for a solution to this soon.
3 times, that is scary.
Something has surprised me when I upgraded my phone to the new Galaxy S 2 from HTC HD 2 running an Android rom. When I introduced the google account it automaticaly pointed me all the aplications that I had installed in the old phone (free or paid) and give me an easy option to install all quickly. They were identified as my aplications, even they were not installed.
Is this funtion present here? It will remember what aplications I had installed in the transformer before or I will need to look for all of them again?
solution to download apps
press on apps on the home screen. then press on market. this will get you started click on sign in at top right of screen. it should automatically do a sign in with your google account. then go from there
Not solved. Apparently I needed to use a VPN to connect my account though Talk. But now when my VPN isn't on nothing will sync and my gmail won't load. Until today I have never needed a VPN to log into my Google account. Something is obviously still wrong.
So I've flashed dozens of ROM's at this point and have never had this problem before. I have read all the threads and tried the following fixes ...
Pulled SIM and used WIFI
Factory reset
You Tube account ... This actually registers my Google info under accounts but won't sync at all. When I try to sync contacts or anything I get a red exclamation point and nothing happens.
Flashed other ROM's and different gapps.
Tried logging in though other gapps such as Talk and Gmail. Again YouTube will show up on my account tab as synced. It's green and looks synced but if I try to manually sync it the red error shows up again and nothing has actually been synced.
There must be a reason for this yes?
I should also mention that I'm in Shanghai. However I have never had a problem before. What gives? Why now? Could it really be that the server is down and I should just try again tomorrow?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Yeah... i've been having a similar problem in xiamen for about 3 days... china unicom?
Oh? And also never had this happen before? Happened after you flashed a new ROM?
I'm with CMCC.
What makes me think something is rotten is Chinatown is the fact that if I do use my VPN everything is OK. I'm hoping this isn't the case.
I'm searching for some old TB files I can toss on my phone to try and restore it to an earlier date. If that doesn't work maybe a super crusty old ROM will work. I really am out of ideas at this point.
I wonder if getting rid of root and going stock would fix anything?
Error Message
I have also same problem for past 3 days on China Mobile in Shanghai. I belive it should be something to do with the carrier or Network accessibility to Google products... I am on Galaxy S2.
Today I checked on couple of my friends with Nexus and Galaxy S1 and confirmed that they also face same problem...
Currently the only Google app that's working is Google Translate ... The rest however won't work without my VPN on.
So it looks like this is both CMCC and Unicom so far. I don't even know if there is anything else.
The funny thing is Google + has been working on my phone from launch with no problems. Not anymore though.
Anyway there are so many places selling Android devices in China I could only imagine that this is temporary.
I wonder if there is any way to edit some of the carrier info to make things work?
Apparently there is something going on, it looks like.
It looks like it's happened before, and after about 3-4 days it sets itself aright...
Anyone figure out a workaround? I was using a pretty good VPN, but the android version only has pptp and therefore barely works here. I can't get any programs, email, or anything on my phone after a factory reset... this makes me sad.
*had some links posted but I guess I need to post a few more times before it lets me*
Anyone figure out any updates or fixes for this yet?
It's been like that for several days now...I'm with CMCC. After sometimes it'll be okay as usual....black "magic" I would call it.
VPN is a no no for me, used to work fine till they block it. I'm using SSH Tunnel now...no problem in general except from time to time (once in a very blue moon like now) when "they" cast their "magic"
Without tunneling. market couldn't get through these days.
How annoying. I even tried taking out my SIM card, and doing a hard reset, and then trying to download my software from my WIFI, but it's not a DDWRT router so I can't access the VPN.
Is there software that can turn an OpenVPN connected computer into a Wifi router? If I logged into my computer which is on a VPN, maybe I could at least re-download all my apps from the market......
*sigh* or wait heh
I got the same problem like last 5 days ...i m in China too ..with china unicom ...i tried everything possible like factory reset, uninsalling and installing gapps, install stock image , cache cleaning ....BUT ...CAN'T LOGIC GOOGLE ....
at last i used VPN on my phone ..and its sync and connect in a second ...problem gone...Happy to have my fully functional phone back
MAGIC Happened again
Just trying to log into the market .. yes now we can access the market and other google products..
whenever i download an app via android market web store, or send a link from chrome to phone, my phone will NEVER receive it.
it has worked flawlessly before, but seems to have stopped after i rooted.
any way to fix this?
phone: nexus s
Sending links to your phone requires an app called Google Chrome To Phone. You need to start up the app and agree to the terms before it will receive links, so give that a shot, even if you feel you have done that before.
Both sending links and having apps automatically installed rely on a Google Talk connection. You'll want to also check if Talk is connected as well.

i've used chrome to phone many times before, and have uninstalled/reinstalled on desktop and phone, logged in with another account, and nothing is working! i've also downloaded many apps from android market web store with no issues until recently when i rooted.
and it worked before without me being signed into google talk.
Try to reinstall the market can work in it
You may want to make sure you can log into Talk just to confirm the talk connection is working for things other than push. But if you know that already works...
I think it's time to go back to your Nandroid backup you took before rooting. If you're using a custom ROM, it may also be worth taking a backup and going back to stock to see if that improves the situation.
Then when you try rooting again, just test C2DM every now and then to isolate the step that causes things to stop working properly.

i had same problem try to reinstall market
lol I have no idea I'd my talk connection is working or not. when i launch talk, there is a little 'x' button beside 'Offline' under my gmail account, and when i sign in, the 'x' button is still there, although i have seemed to sign in. i dont have any contacts in google talk so i cant test if its properly working.
will try redownloading market to see if that works as well, thanks!
ill save unrooting to a last resort i guess :/
update:
ive tried redownloading market, but nothing changed. when i downloaded an app from the android market on the desktop, i didnt receive it on my phone, although the button said 'installed' on my computer.
i've also tried removing my account from the phone, and then downloading an app. the market (on desktop) still said 'installed' when there wasn't any phone linked to the email...
honestly i have no idea how to fix this.
Been using my Cappy as a game device for close to a year since I got an SII. Tonight I tried to download an app via wireless and could not access Google Play. Tried using the SIM from the SII, but phone still gets network errors even with wifi on. Provisioned the phone, but still no go. I'm thinking a factory reset and starting from scratch might work, but I am running Andromeda 3 and am unsure what will happen if I do a reset. Will it restore to the factory version of Froyo? Will I lose root? I want to use the Cappy to fly my AR Drone 2, but I don't want to mess it up to do so. It flies great with the SII, but it would be nice to have the Cappy for it if possible. Incoming calls cause the copter to land and can be a pain. The Cappy doesn't even show up among my phones on Google Play. Don't remember deleting it, but until I can get some kind of network access I'm sunk. Did the APNs change for the Cappy in the past year? Shouldn't it be able to connect via wifi regardless? Thanks!
That's a strange problem... however you didn't specify what exactly isn't working. I know Google play doesn't work, but does anything else work over wifi? Either way, it is hard to give support when you are using a very outdated version of Android. I recommend you at least update to Gingerbread, or if you want, Jellybean.
You can also try clearing data for the play store. That's strange that it doesn't show up under your account. My old phone that I sold months ago is still there (twice), and there is no way to delete phones from the list. Are you sure you weren't using a different account?
I can't access either network, which is what is baffling me. I would think I should at least be able to access the internet via wifi, but even that won't work. It connects to my router fine, but beyond that nothing. As for my Play account, I remember several Cappys showing up there because I had 2 replacements within a month back when I first got it in 2010. Whether they dropped off from non-use or I deleted them somehow I don't remember. I just had my SII replaced under warranty last month and both are still there. My SII came with a new 4G SIM, which might not be compatible with the Cappy, but that doesn't explain not being able to connect via wifi. I'm stumped.
A factory data reset won't change your Rom, and you won't lose root. It might fix the problem.

Well, I managed to get online, but another issue cropped up. I logged into Google Play and can see all my installed apps. There are many needing updating, but when I try to do so I get a message that the app is not compatible with my device. Why would an already installed app see that an update is available and then not let me install it? I can also receive e-mail to my 2 configured e-mail accounts, but I can't send any e-mails through them. The same is true of both these accounts on my SII, so this issue may have nothing to do with the Cappy. I may just put a GB ROM on this thing, but it's been so long since I flashed anything that I have no idea which ROM to use or how to do it. I wonder if I copy over the APK for the app I want to run if it will work?

You'll need to flash KK4 with bootloaders (check the stickied in dev section). That will get you on stock GB, from there you can flash w/e ROM you want, I would suggest JB based. (AOKP and AOCP are my personal fav but you can look them up and choose one you see fit)
A lot of things changed since you were all over this forum But if you have TiBu, JB will optimize your apps so they should run fine (just remember to save your IMEI with TiBu otherwise they'll FC).
A fresh download of those apps tho will most likely be better. Just like after formatting a PC, it is better to fresh install your apps. And who knows, you might fall in love with your Cappy all over again
My Google Play Store Stopped working + google play Games and also facing syncing problem with gmail and calendar , (no issue with internet connection) even after full reset .
also i am not able to add any other google account.
Nexus 5 Android 5.1.1 + rooted + xposed+ default kernel
and today i did clean cyanogen 12 installation but after adding my account this problem arrive again after some time
Have you tried narrowing down the issue, maybe a fresh install (don't root or install Xposed), add your account, run it for a day or two, or at least longer than you know it takes for the problem to occur. Just to make sure it's not an Xposed issue. I've never had issues just with rooting, but it always helps to eliminate any other possibilities.
I've seen something similar to this, and I never really figured it out. I'm using stock image, just root, but my issue was several google sync would not work, like contacts, calendar, and a few others. I tried removing the account and adding it back, it worked like you state, a few hours maybe, then it would have sync errors again. I re-imaged fresh, and I believe when I initially configured the phone the first time, I added my account when it asked instead of skipping it, like I do occasionally. It's been going strong since, but I still don't know if that was a correct "fix"
cyanogen have a setting to remove root access so i did , but the problem still there. i am 80% sure that this is not a root problem .
so i removed my google account but now i cant add any of my google account with my phone (Error -As shown in last screenshot)
i did a fresh start before so again its specifically related to my that google account (as i think)
possible cause of this problem -
1- Latest Stagefright Patch update by google on my nexus 5 (Problem occurs sometime after update)
2- Freedom app , which is used to activate some of my app . i tried this app 2 or 3 days before .http://onhax.net/freedom-iap-apk/
i found one quick solution
i Removed host file from Etc folder in root directory and now problem gone
One question, do you use or previously used an Ad-block app?
yup is that app cause problem?
