[Q] Google Play & Google Talk connection problems after FW update to v9.4.2.21

Dear friends,
This morning I upgraded my Asus Transformer Prime TF201 running ICS v4.0.3 to the new firmware version v9.4.2.21 and since I'm experiencing the following problems:
- the google play application no longer has connection. The message displayed is:
No connection
Retry
- the google talk application also has no connection. The message displayed is:
Connection interrupted - Status updates temporarily unavailable.
I would like to specify that I powered the device off and then on again and still no luck. I use a WiFi connection via a router and I even reset the router but again - unsuccessfully. I checked the login credentials for both applications (Google Play and Google Talk) and they are correct. The other applications requiring connections (i.e. internet browser, yahoo messenger) seem to work fine.
Looking forward to your opinion as this problem becomes increasingly frustrating.
Thank you very much.

Its because Google account and settings problem.itz bout the fault of Google its the problem with the firmware.they will correct it soon..

Thanks, I now noticed that non of my applications requiring the google account login credentials work anymore. Anyway, I've also written to Google and I hope they'll have it solved soon. Uhhh...
Cheers!

[Q] This webpage is not available - with a twist...

Samsung S4, Verizon, Android 4.2.2, JDq39.GoogleEdition.I545VRUAMDK
On Wifi, everything works as expected. The problem is when I'm connected to a mobile network.
Problem: I'm only able to access *google.com* sites!
When I try anything else (www.xda-developers.com, www.reddit.com, www.theoatmeal.com, etc) I get a "This webpage is not available" message from Chrome or "Web Page Not Available" from Dolphin.
I cannot access Google Voice. I cannot access Google Play.
What is working:
- Google search results show up, but when I click on the web pages, they don't load
- Google Apps (gmail, calendar, etc work fine)
- Google's cached pages
- I can make and receive phone calls
I've tried rebooting, and installing a new browser (Dolphin) in case of a settings issue.
Any solutions? Thanks!

try a new search engine, duckduckgo?

Tried that. The problem isn't loading search results (*google.com works fine). The problem is loading webpages from the search results and even when typed manually in the address bar.
In addition to *google.com, *android.com and *youtube.com pages also load properly. Youtube app works. Google Maps works. Gmail app works. Google Play and Google+ apps do not. Uber, Twitter and my bank apps do not.
When I load those that don't work, messages say there's a data connection issue. But, that's not the case, as some of the Google apps seem to function.
I have restarted the phone.

Do you have the correct APNs installed in your phone?

Using a Nubia X without GApps

What are the possible replacements for google services?
Aptoide/Yalp store as replacement for play store?
If it works, I guess installing youtube, maps, etc. from either store should work? Or not?
Or we can find alternative apps thatbwork like youtube, gmaps, etc. anyway
How about retrieving contacts saved in google account? Can i retrieve them using browser logged in my google account? How to import into phone?
Users of Apps/games that require google login like pubg should use alternative logins now. Will it work?
What are the all the requirements for degooglefied phone like nubia x?

Hi,
I'm using one phone like that, until some solution for the google services is found.
It's a bit uncomfortable, but it's working. In anther one post I have uploaded a picture how it looks like.
Here is the answers of your questions:

I'm downloading the applications from Google Play store, and then installing the apks manually.

YouTube app generally working, but closes when cant find the google services. Anyway I'm watching the videos from the browser.
Maps - you can install Chrome and then pin it to the home screen. Works like charm.
You can install Mesanger, WatsApp, Viber, Skype - they work.

With PUBG I had some issues installing it because except the apk has obb, may be I'll try later when I have some time. Fortnite is working like charm. Even with the back screen two additional buttons is like a cheat.
Things which I could not solve until now:
- Outlook cant import o365 mail hosted by GoDaddy.
- It seems that, a lot of applications rely on google services for the push notifications. If the app (let say Viber) is not running, you may not have popup notification on the lock screen. (If anyone knows how to solve that I'll be happy)
So, that's all. At the end you can live with the phone. I'm happy with it.
I hope that answers your question. If you have other questions - let me know

How about updating/syncing contacts? I mean after retrieving them and i added a new contact entry. How do i update/sync that contact into google?
And for photos? Do i have to manually backup to pc or cloud since there's no google photos and no google drive?
Any other concerns i might have forgotten?
Edit:
Link to this thread you mentioned?

I used aptoide - the only google apps that seems to work is Google Chrome Browser and gmaps. youtube did not work through aptoide as didn't all the other google apps i tried. I placed a youtube home page using the chrome broswer on the desktop. Whatsapp apk i downloaded from their official website and installed working fine. When I downloaded whatsapp through aptoide and the chinese market app it won't work and keeps saying date and time is not right even though it is - maybe because its not chinese date and time?
For Contacts i opened my pc with chrome broswer and downloaded the contacts VCARD which you can do and placed in root folder of Nubia X - picked all my contacts up - I'm not sure how to sync though to google accounts as you cant add a google account through the phone unless you root as per other posts.
Pretty silly how they just didn't let you install gapps without root - i buy a lot of chinese phones and its the standard now even if google isnt preinstalled - its been a long time since I've seen a phone that doesn't let you install gapps yourself if you want too even though they dont support it. I'm finding it hard to use the phone and it will probably end up in a drawer for a few months until the international rom is released with google. Its annoying, even switching the phone off the voice assistant starts in Chinese and i want to get rid of this.
I've deleted practically all the bloatware, yet can't get music player to detect music i placed in the music folder.
Should have done my reading before hand but oh well... I got it for less than £495 from geekbuying 128gb version but should have waited out for the international rom version
Most of my good apps I downloaded through the Amazon App Store which is also working so I have 3 markets on my phone at the moment.

Does someone who does not have Google services, what apps do they use?

Hello, due to a mistake of mine I have run out of Google services.
Until I can replace them again since Eloy's tutorial in step-1 does not work for me ...
What apps do you use?
I have downloaded Petal Search to install apps, but I have encountered a problem:
I have installed a browser, Chrome or Firefox and they do not connect me: certificate problems and someone impersonating my identity is trying to connect.
Does this happen to you?
If you have any paid app in the Play Store, isn't the subscription worth the apk?
How do you know if there are app updates?
Thank you.

Thanks, it seems like a good alternative.
The problem I see is that some apps that I frequently use depend on, for example, Google maps, or some Google services and I couldn't use them, I would probably have to do it through the web browser.
By the way, I wanted to install Chrome or Firefox, and both were showing me certificate errors and 'someone malicious was trying to attack me'. And I have seen the Huawei native browser doesn't work very well for me. Do you or anyone ever use it correctly?

Is Aurora a safe store? I comment on it because it is a way of downloading an apk file, and if I download apks from there without being previously analyzed, my fear is for having malware.

For my Banking and Pay app -> I can't install it -> It says that my phone is not safe.
Rain Alarm app -> Weather forecast by satellite in real time with nice graphics -> Play Services needed.
MarineTraffic -> Vessel finder -> Needed Play Services.
Marca app (Spanish sports app) -> My Pro suscription no works without Play Store enabled, and my Yahoo Mail Pro can't manage too.
Push Notifications without Play Services no works.
Some apps that need GPS services, with Google Framework no enabled crashes -> The TIEMPO XL app that I sent you since a few days shows to me that I'm 20 kms far I am now.

Cannot login in the apps with google services on phone

I have google play working on my phone (or at least I think so ) and the google maps stopped working a while ago, they were working before, the app closes.
But I can still get in to the playstore and download apps there, the problem is when I go to the app downloaded I have to login or create account and it says that I don't have google play services and I can't login or create accounts ( so I cannot use the app).
Any ideas or tips in what I should do? I love this phone and I would like to love it more! Any comments are really useful thanks:laugh:.

+1 , same problem

Looks like you simply blocked those annoying notifications from Google Play services. Redo the process of gms installation. This time make it properly, you shouldn't see notifications from past services.
You don't need to start from scratch, use Googlefier and Fix option.
