[Q] Apps not working after factory reset - General Questions and Answers

I had to Factory Reset my Infuse. Now, none of my apps like Gmail, G+, Youtube, Facebook, Gtalk are working. I am unable to add an account .
It simply says "Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server "...
But the funny thing is through the (phone's) browser I am able to access my gmail/Google. But through the available apps I am not able to login/access.
Please Help!!!

just try signing into the YouTube app with the account (youtube registered gmail account)you want to sync and it will automatically add it to the list of your accounts. Make sure you sign in to the YouTube app, rather than the website

tnx for the reply though... its not working even that way..

Perhaps attempt to re-factory-reset the phone? Just a suggestion...

again a reset I have installed so many apps now (I have a dump of .apk's)...
I dont think thats a right solution.. can some one tell me how to add a primary account... as it dont have one after reset....

Try doing a hard reset(Powering up + Key Combo in most cases) instead of resetting from within the phone.What kind of phone is it? Hard reset will clear cache, data folder and dalvik cache. Let me know how it goes

Friend cannot make new contacts

My friend gets a problem where when he tries to make a new contact it says "can not create a new contact without a valid account" he said that he tried to delete a lot of contacts by clearing data in contact storage, could that be the problem? If so how can I fix this. TIA
If he just went in a modified the contact data file he may very well have deleted some required data. Dont suppose he made a backup before making those changes? He may want to try to tell it not to sync his Google Contacts, and then waiting a few minutes re-enableing sync. That may allow the phone to recreate the file/insert the required information. If that doesnt work, you may need to completly remove and readd the google account, and past that a full Master Reset may be required.

[Resolved] [Q] HELP>Cant acces Android Market / Google account anymore

hi,
i did a firmware reset and now i cant access my old google account anymore. i know the email / pwd to log in but it doesnt work. i even tried to do the recovery thing from google but when i enter the email google says that email account doesnt exist!? i signed my google account up thru the android first startup thingy wizard and selected my email and im 90% sure i got the correct one. i never used it outside of my smartphone it just sat in the background all the time.
so i got a full titanium backup pro backup and a full CWM backup on my hdd. is there anywhere in the .properties files where i can check my old login credentials?
any other methods of reclaiming my google account?
i got paid apps and a registered CC on there.
thanks in advance,
vax
EDIT: holy **** CWM backup saved my ass. its awesome that it does a whole system image like acronis.

[Q] Possible to reset Sense looking for contacts to link?

Can this be done without losing all my contacts?
I want all the existing links to be reset/broken and allow HTC Sense to start again. Once I've rejected suggested links, Sence will never offer them again. I want to clear that. Should simply clearing the contacts data in the phone achieve this (and be 'safe')? Or will that just restore all the links/meta information too when the contacts come back? Where is all the meta data held about the links or rejected suggestions?

You're correct in thinking that removing all contact data from the phone will remove the links...only as you re-add the various account types will new links be suggested (that you're then able to dismiss).
I'd recommend saving you main contacts in Google Contacts. So that you store them off the device/SIM and in the cloud which ensures after any reset the contact data can easily be restored just by linking to your google acocunt.

movedfromdev[Q] Syncing Contacts

I dont know what i'm doing wrong but hoping someone can tell me. Whenever i save a contact I save it as a google contact. I store the number but if i flash a new rom I lose that contact I saved. I tried going into settings>accounts&sync and syncing all the accounts to see if it saved it but when I go on my pc and check my google contacts it doesnt appear. What am I doing wrong? Ive lost many numbers I needed....

I have the same problem and have solved it by backing up my contacts on both my phone and my google account and then restoring them after booting the new ROM. I also use the backup with the contact program and I use GO launcher as my "menu manager". I use the GO Backup tool as a third level of backup. Any other method from anyone else would be useful as it is bit of a messy solution. BUT it does stop me losing contacts. I have also used the Microsoft Outlook tool as yet another backup when I sync. Can't have too many backups when the gremlins are out get your contact list.
Anyone?

Game account

Hi guys.
Here is the story, when you play a game and you bind your gaming profile to your google account, then you are able to restore that gamer profile, onto your next device.
I have 2 different accounts in the same game, I use to be able to switch accounts easily, and if things would go wrong id clear the game data, google services and playstore then I would be able to switch.
Lately Im forced to wipe the whole phone (factory reset)
So my question is where is that data stored so i dont need to factory reset my phone in order to switch accounts.
