[Q] Can't connect to Google services [WiFi icon is gray] and can't add Google account - General Questions and Answers

Hello everyone,
I've searched like every post/thread on Xda-developers and other Android forums, but I couldn't find a solution to my problem. First of all the WiFi icon is grayed out. Solutions to this were: adding/removing Google accounts, resetting/restarting router, restarting phone, factory data reset. I tried EVERYTHING, but it wouldn't work. The second thing is, I can't add Google account after removing it. Solutions were: logging in via YouTube, cleaning data of: Google Play Store, Google Services Framework and Downloadmanager app. Resetted phone for the second time. But nothing works. I'm able to browse the internet and receive WhatsApp messages. The only that doesn't work are the Google apps. I hope someone with knowledge of this can help me, because i'm getting really frustrated and nothing helps.
Thanks in advance
Phone:
Alcatel One Touch 995
PACman Rom 19.0.0.

Try to flash your ROM again and be sure to use the right version of GApps.

I just flashed a new rom and have all the recent Google Apps, but it's still the same.
I now have the same problem on my Nexus 7
The rom I flashed is PACman version 19.0.0, Android version 4.1.2
I hope someone can help me.

OK, everything is good now, because I flashed cyanogenmod 10.1.2 on Nexus 7 and Alcatel OT-995.

[Q] Google Apps Missing After Flashing Galaxy Nexus

Hi,
I just bought a Samsung Galaxy Nexus and it had some great Google stuff on it (e.g. Market, Maps, YouTube, ...) and it asked me to connect it to a Google account at activation, so everything worked great.
Now, following Google's guide (source[.]android[.]com/source/building-devices.html), I downloaded the Android source, built it and flashed it onto the phone. Everything worked fine, but now it does not have any Google support, I can't even add an account in the settings to sync my contacts, so they are gone, not to mention that I can't simply install apps from the Market.
Is there any possibility to get this support back within this custom Android?
If not, is there any rooted ROM that has this Google support?
I have searched this forum and the web, but all solutions don't apply to my problem.
Thank you in advance!
Search for "google apps v7" it's a zip file u can flash in recovery.

(Q) Auto install of apps

Hi guys, quick question,
When I was still on stock rom I noticed my tablet would reinstall the apps I had previously downloaded as soon as I logged in. I just rooted and flashed a custom rom and it seem I have lost this ability. I have CMW on the thing. Any idea what I need to do? Manually re-installing everything as the nightlies comes in is getting a bit old.
thanks

if you're using the same google account it should restore.
During the initial setup it will ask if you want to restore from the Google account.

Thank you for your reply. I used the same google account, and I clicked the square saying I wanted a restore, but apps did not download. When looked on the google play, my tf101 did not appear. Weird.
How many devices appear in your Google Play list when you sign in online? There's a limit to the number of installs you can have for paid apps (5 I think..?). Try deleting unused devices, on unused instances of devices.

you should have "focal" as your camera app, but you can also just flash a stock ROM that has root so everything is back to its familiar setup and apps.

Hi guys, i have exactly the same problem. I have a 3110 and i decided to move from cm 10.1.3 to cm11. I performed the data wipe/factory reset with the latest version of twrp, installed the rom, installed the gapps package and everything seems to work fine except for the camera. There is no app at the drawer, i can not install google camera from the playstore, and the apps that i installed either in apk or zip form do not work. Some crash, camera zoom fx doesnt have the option to take picture and some other apps throw an error message about "can not find the hardware camera" and staff like this. Can someone help me plz?

then it must be an issue in the ROM itself.
either a bad download or an bug in the system.
inquire in the specific rom thread to address the problem and if you have time Google "log cat android" and make a log when you try to open the app.

@tokenpoke its indeed a bug in the system, camera is broken at cm 11atm, you need to apply a fix. The solution can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53381666&postcount=2909 , thnx goes to @webdroidmt for pointing that out.

it no longer helps me since I traded my tab for a chromebook (I buy devices to play with them and trade friends when I get bored) but I'll pass it along to the new owner

Thank you bro, will try to use a different ROM to test it out again.
i have tried the thread stated in this forum where i also found many having such issues, but the remedy just didn't work out for me.
I guess i will have to re-root it again.
thank you once again:angel:

no need to reroot if you've installed a custom recovery.
most ROMs are already rooted and there is an option when booting your system from recovery that injects root into nonrooted roms

Google Play Store Won't Work

Hey, I'm currently using CM13 on a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (jfltexx) - Google play store, in app purchases (and Snapchat) just suddenly stopped working - the google play connection error came up every time I went on the Play Store. Usually deleting the etc/hosts file does the trick, but this time it didn't work. I thought I'd just factory reset it since I was going to be flashing an update anyway. Now, I've got an error of 'There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later'. I've had this version of gapps for a while and never had any problem that couldn't be quickly sorted out. I've tried all the clear data, cache, reset app preferences, change time/date, tried on Wi-Fi and LTE networks etc -I also factory reset a few times and re-flashed both the ROM and gapps just in case but still no luck. Any ideas?
This is a kind of bug in CM
Probably cant be fix
Only if you try another rom
This happens with unofficial builds of CM and sometimes official ones also
In most cases happens with samsung devices.
I also have CM7.2 right now
Having the same problem.
Give a thanks if i helped u

But surely it wouldn't be solely down to CM? I was running the same nightly of CM13 for the past month or so without any problems. Anyway, I might as well try a different ROM, I'll let you know if it works as soon as I flash it
Still don't know why it stopped working randomly, but just flashed Dirty Unicorns, everything works fine now
