Hi all-
I'm familiar with Android and I've been playing with rooted phones for the last two years. Now I've moved up to the G tab. I'm not a developer, but I'm good at following directions. My tab is running Vegan GE at the moment and I'm unable to use my existing Google login to access any of the apps: market, gmail, gmaps, etc...
Things I've tried without success:
-Market Enabler
-NVFlash, reload stock files, clean install of Vegan GE
-Wipe and load V 5.1.1
-Wipe and load Vegan GE
-Repartition
-Clear google framework and market data
-Reset WiFi and verify connection
-Create new Google account: success! But doesn't help with accessing my default account
Every time I try to sign in via the "Add a Google account" or Market method, I get either the "Your username and password are incorrect" message or "Your phone needs to communicate with Google servers....." It holds on this screen for roughly 30 seconds and then pops up the "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server".
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, and THANK YOU to all the developers who turned this tablet into something amazing! Even without direct access to Gmail this thing rocks!
Solved!
I'm using Google 2-step authentication and needed to generate a device specific password. I can't believe it took me until now to figure it out.
The data connection message was throwing me off.
I chose Harmony as the device when downloaded the zip file, as Viewsonic is not listed as one of the devices and someone in the forum suggested to use it for gTab.
Now I installed the CM7, I am adding the exchange account, after filling in my gmail account, it moved to Server settings, now I have problem, not sure what should I enter as it rejected me all the time:
Domain\Username
\my username
password: xxxxx
Server
gmail.com
with SSL checked.
I did not get this screen when I was in Vegan.
Do I download the wrong CM7 zip?
How come I don't see Market in CM 7?
When installing CM7, Google apps (GAPPS) is not installed along with the rom. GAPPS are available as a separate download. That will solve your missing market app and will also fix your email problems as the native Gmail app is included in the GAPPS package.

My TP lost the Google calendar sync after upgrade to CM9 Alpha 1.
I can not find any sync item for Google calendar on setting menu --> Accounts & sync ! please see my attach file on this post !
Anyone got same problem
i just noticed the same thing as well
Mine is just the opposite, never synced very well on 0.6 but now it works really well. I think it's the gapps, I flashed the one I downloaded with aokp after installing alpha 1.
Try flashing the gapp fixer utility, the link is in the dev forum. This fixed the problem for me.
Thanks for help
Now the Google calendar sync is back normal sync with my gmail account !
I was install gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11 with A0.6
after upgrade A1 the Google calendar sync got problem and lost !
and than I try install gapps-ics-20111230, google calendar sync still got problem and lost.
and then I try install gapps_fixer, google calendar sync is back.
I do believe that gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11 is not working very well with ICS on TP.
I have motorola defy running 4.1 through CM10.
everything was working fine until last week I was unable to sync my google account or open the play store.
I made a search through XDA and google. I tried everything:
- wipe cache
- delete account and add it again (I couldn't add the account with error message)
- clear data from google services in the app manager
- try to sign in via youtube app
- remove the sim and/or sdcard
- using wifi and/or 3G
- access the internet through hotspot
- wipe everything and install a clean ROM again
- sign in or create another account
But with no success
Do you have another ideas or solutions?
As I'm not allowed to post in the Dev section I'll try it here...
I have successfully installed Thor Gapps, it's an awesome piece of work. The only thing I'm missing is adding other than Google accounts, e.g. I'd like to add an ActiveSync (Exchange) account to sync email and calendar. I installed a stock settings app but it still only shows Google accounts. Did I do something wrong or is this version just not supporting anything else?
Thanks.
