Greetings... I just ODINed back to stock, took the OTAs, ODINed CWM, and then flashed Tweaked Lite 1.0. So far it's awesome. Only issue is with Hangouts. I'm getting:
Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google. Try again.
I've tried restarting, just waiting (multiple days), updating Hangouts, clearing data in Settings->Manage Applications, wiping cache from CWM and nothing seems to be working.
Any suggestions?

I had this issue and did this and it fixed it for me...
Clear updates and data from Google Hangouts and Google Play Services.
Delete Google Play Services using Root Explorer.
Reboot.
Try to open Hangouts and it will prompt you that you need Google Play Services.
Download and everything should then work ok.
Yeah this happens from time to time, still not sure on the reason or rhyme (#drseuss). Doing things similar to what jdawg334 outlined has helped me as well.
I finally got it to work. I couldn't get Root Explorer to delete Google Play Services successfully but with all the deleting of caches, updates, and force stopping services it finally was able to log in. Thanks for the help! Loving tweaked lite.
the tip is gold worth for my SGT7 3G in fixing time calculation .
Found more info here LINK, and here the step by step description:
uninstall updates for Google Play services
tried to open Hangouts which prompted me to update Google Play services
updated Google Play services
ran Hangouts
Works!
So thanks to PalaNIN on reddit.com.
Can't access internet
I was able to get past the Hangouts problem, but I can't seem to access the internet after flashing Tweaked Lite. I can access the Play store, d/l apps and updated installed ones, send and receive e-mails, etc., but if I open the default browser or Dolphin browser, I can't connect to the internet. I was given this Charge from a friend, and want to use it as a wifi device only. It was already updated to FP8 when I received it, so I rooted it, installed CMW, wiped data/factory reset, then just flashed the ROM. I didn't Odin back to any previous build, just went with the OTA already loaded on the phone. The internet seems to be the only thing not working.
*Edit*
Guess I didn't get past the Hangouts problem. I uninstalled the updates to Google Play Services, then reinstalled the update, but still get the message "Couldn't sign in because we couldn't reach Google. Try again."

Yeah the hangouts thing is obnoxious - I went back to stock a few times to see if I made the issue but I couldn't get it to work there either. Not sure why the browser is acting up though - haven't seen that myself... not sure what would be causing that issue unfortunately.

I can't figure it out - not being able to browse the internet. It has worked once or twice, but I have no idea what changes to allow it. I restored a backup back to stock to check if I could browse then, and I could. I then reflashed TLite, but still had the same problem. I just restored the backup back to stock and I'll leave it there for now. I use the phone for wifi and a couple apps, so it should be fine for now. At some point I probably should try Odining back to a previous version, installing the OTAs, then flashing TLite. Would I want to repartition when going back to EP4D?

Wouldn't be a bad idea. Your usage matches my own (no sim card even), and I have yet to encounter any sort of browsing issues at all.

same deal here. it worked once. my theory is that it might have to do with Google Play Services. I'm thinking the Lite version blocks something or left a key file out.

another hint
My situation was the same, google play services uninstall,reinstall doesn't help the login issue.
But at least : cleared hangouts data and google play services data, then on my PC I've log in to my gmail account and at the bottom left corner i've enabled "the new kind chat" (means Hangouts instead Talk) and then the hangouts on my phone immediately logged in to my account...
interesting...
This has been an ongoing problem for me across every ROM and each one seems to handle it slightly differently. On first boot after doing a clean install of any ROM, whether it's AOSP or TW, the Play Store will never connect properly. On AOSP, clearing Play Store and Google Services data and restarting does the trick. Right now I'm on JellyBeans 20, which on a clean install will only connect to play store after clearing data on Play Store and Google Services, restarting, and then adding my Google account again. This usually works. On any 4.3 TW ROM I've tried flashing, I've been unable to get the Play Store to connect, attempting every trick I've seen posted such as modifying/deleting the hosts file and clearing data.
The only thing I haven't done yet is restore to stock and start over. Is there a reason this is happening to me?

If you have Titanium backup app, open up the app and see if it prompts you to restore your old ID? if it does, then select restore the old ID, phone will reboot and see if that works.
Hi!
I recently has installed an Android car Kit in my Altima. At the time, I wasn't really excited about it being android. I just went for the best model they had in Dubai at the time. It's not a very powerful device and was loaded with illegal ware. I removed most and attached my Google account and started legit purchasing. I noticed two illegal Play alternates installed. I removed them and right after that, my Play store also started to fail. I cannot download anything now. I remember the guy who installed (speaks language I cannot understand) turned On something relating to replace store list or URL in Play with another store or something option in one of the illegal store apps. I don't have either installed now and I'm stuck.
No issue!
I read around and found out that removing google account and re-adding will fix this. Great. I went to accounts and tried to remove, it won;t allow as it is being used. I added another google account. Issue carried on to the new account. I searched and found out that installing Play services and bunch of other related Google applications will restore functionality. It didn't.
No problem!
I'll just factory reset the damn thing. Went to options. Tried to factory reset, a weird error came up saying the command to reset failed completely. Something is missing. I'm trapped. I know there is an update available. I'm in Dubai and I'll have to go to Sharjah to get the update installed. I tried different ways to hard-reset it but no go.
I have snaps attached of the device. Any way to recognize it? It's sold by the name of "Still Cool" in UAE.
Thanks.
Hi guys. I have the US version G8142 and my wife has the international version XZ Premuim G8142. She cannot install or update apps unless she is on WiFi. If she tries while on data the apps show download pending and then eventually give an error 500. Mine works just fine- we are both on T-Mobile. In looking at the APN editing page, I noticed my phone has all the APN info by default while hers was all empty. We tried entering the APN info by just copying mine- no change. Tried resetting APN data to default- no change. We tried force stopping Google Play Store and clearing cache and did the same thing for Google Services- no change. We have not yet tried deleting her Google account from the phone and then logging back in or doing Factory Data Reset yet... Before going that drastic- do you guys have any other ideas?
Chad
-UPDATE-
I just did Factory Data Reset and now the phone auto updated the APN- it matches mine now. BUT we still have the same behavior, the phone can contact the Google Play Store and see updates are available but will not download them. Incidentally, Sony system apps like Music, Album, etc do update no problem- it just seems that apps that reside in the Play Store will not download on data.
UPDATED-
My wife found a temporary solution:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...r-installed-apps-from-Play-Store/td-p/1247639
[QUOTE:] TEMPORARY SOLUTION: Go to network settings and change it to GSM ONLY instead of LTE. Then go the play store and try to download anything (I know it is slow but just try) and then once it start to download, cancel the download and switch it back to LTE. Then it will work until the phone is restarted or down. Kind of weird solution but hey, it worked for me as a temporary solution. [END QUOTE]
Hi Ive recently bought the phone used and factory reset it, but the play store is stuck on pending updates, none of the apps update and i cant install any new apps.
Ive tried clearing cache/memory, reset multiple times, playing with the power settings - anything I could find online.
Nothing seems to work, does anyone know why this is happening? Id like to try sort it out as i only have a certain amount of time to return the phone.
During the intial set up, my SIM works, and i skip all the samsung stuff but that shouldnt be an issue. The play store is also up to date according to the settings.
same issue with OP8T nothing seem to work. wtf
Try this. Delete the cache/data from the Play Store app and the cache/data from the Download Manager app under 3 dot menu/show system app and shut down the phone and wait 5 minutes to restart phone

Delete Google account and recreate it if the above doesn't work.
Alternatively you could download the apps you want on another phone and use ApkExport to copy and transfer them to the affected phone.
I store copies of all my apps like this so I don't need to use Playstore if I do a factory reset.
It saves time and confusion plus preserves apps that Playstore has altered or purged.
