Having strange problem with google syncing - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Before I start- all details about the ROM im using, kernel etc are listed on my signature.
So the problem is- for the past few hours on my s3 I haven't been able to access playstore and Gmail is not syncing either. On my s3's account settings, it shows sync error on my google account.
The strange thing is: On my laptop browsers (chrome/firefox), I cannot access playstore either, but I can access Gmail
I tried a full wipe/factory reset and reflashed g-apps. I'm tempted to flash another rom but I'm not sure whether that'll solve anything.
Can anyone help me please? I'm totally lost- no idea what's causing this issue :/

Nevermind. Reconnected my internet modem and now its fine again.

Hi,
I am having the same sort of issue... I have a galaxy S3 gt-i9300. My google sync suddenly failed. I removed my google account from my accounts and sync menu which obviously deleted all my contacts as well. When i tried to add the google account again it seems not to work. the bar just keeps moving for eva n eva widout responding. hence i cannot access my play store youtube channel or anything else related.
I even updated to omega jelly beans ROM but have the same problem. other accounts like facebook sync fine.

Yea I'm back to the same problem as you again. It was working fine for a day after I reconnected my internet- but now google suddenly stopped syncing on my phone- can't get new emails and can't access gplay either. By the way- do you live in a place where they recently banned YouTube due to that anti-muslim video? I'm in Bangladesh- and YouTube has been banned here for over a week now- and hence in some messed-up freaky way this is conflicting with other Google services like play and gmail I still don't understand it- but there's nothing I could do but to wait till the ban is uplifted. I could now access gmail and gplay on my pc - but they load very slowly- and gmail always show a ''connection failed'' error after a while- but thankfully gives me some time to quickly read my emails. This sucks indeed I wasn't really bothered when I learnt they're banning YouTube in my place- but just cannot deal without gmail and play on my phone!!

Is Youtube banned in your country? If so this is the same issue that many others are facing! Please confirm!!!

sync is not working for me either :S [ICS]

I don't know whether there's a work around but I'll be glad to know if there's one!! Can't blame either country or ISP though. Extremism, ethics, silly politics are to blame.

android market problem

why i can not download from market?
it is too bad !
plz someone tell me!
I don't know what exacly you mean, but i have problems with it lately aswell!
The download doesn't start... it say's it starting but it does not! i fixed it a couple of times by closing the market and starting it up again and then go with the menu button to my downloads... and suddenly it started downloading again!
dunno what it is... maybe someone here knows!
I have the same problem, I've tried everything, but still no luck
Same here.
I'm on Dutch Vodafone.
It seems there is a problem with a proxy something on the dutch vodafone service, i'm on it as well, but that doesn't give a explaination why the market isn't working on wifi!
Just use Market Enabler (download from google code) and fake your provider to o2 germany. This way I can download paid applications in Greece It will fix your problem
Can't download anything in the UK either. Been like this since last night.
Fixed it now, cleared the cache for google apps and market.
Talked to Vodafone customer Service. Ita a worldwide problem. Google is working on it, according to the Android blogs.
Hi all, one thing I read and it works for me: sign into Google chat to make the downloads work. Then you can just sign out.
I'm not saying it will work for you, but it seems to let me download as soon as I sign in google chat.
Ugh..double posted from my hero...
hello friends
i think my problem is a little different from yours.
when i click on market icon and then click on applications nothing will happen.
after 2 minutes of waiting it says that : " there is a problem with signing in with your google account " or sth like that!
is it your problem like mine? because i have bought hero newly and never couldn't download any program. neither no market connecting!
if it is a general problem tell me.
thanks!!

I have been facing the same problem. I keep getting a message that there is no data sim card in the device (although there is, plus I was trying to connect via wi-fi) and so I can't sign in. I have never downloaded an app from the Market before. All seems to work great on my HTC Magic, though.

This is just crazy! I wiped, installed, wiped, installed, cleared all partitions/sd, installed, wiped, installed and still wasn't able to download anything. As soon as I started google talk all downloads came rolling in!
Thanks for the tip! You really made my day.
I talked again to Vodafone Netherlands.
A definitive solution is:
After seting up or signing in and using Market via WIFI, the market keeps working on 3G.
After a ROM update etc. you have to make the first contact by WIFI.
Google is working on the issue.

Gtalk and market issue

I change my gmail acount for personal reason. I delete the old account. so I wat to remove the gmail account in menu: Account& sync. But it told me to do factory reset. After that, I sign in using new Gmail account, but I can not download app from market anymore. And G talk can not start.
I already create some new acoounts to sign in but still cannot download from market.
I search web and every forum, but dead end. no solution can fix this problem. Every others just find like: email sync, internet, calling, sms, mms. Just gtalk and market.
I already go to SE Service Centre in my country, but they same can not help.
What can I do to fix? Can someone plese help me with this problem?
Thanks
sounds like you need to re-flash, try to backup your stuff, flashing may be a last case senario but its a strong option...
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I see. Can you point me how to flash? Because I already try to flash few times. but no luck still not works. And I just update again just now and still can not download from market and open Gtalk.
Any better suggestion?
Thanks.
try to clear cahce & Uninstal updates from
setting >> Application >> Manage Applicatios >> Market
I am facing the same problem for a few days...tried everything from the little info on google that was available, nothing worked even not reflashing the phone
I am stuck on this..but just posted the issue on google help.
If i get some answers i will let you know
cheers
My brother has the same issue on his xperia x8, ive tried unistalling the market updates, clearing the data on all google apps. Tried factory reset and re flashed using SUES. Still the same issues, can`t download from the market and gtalk closes down almost instantly.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yeah. so funny. My wife's x8 work perfect with her email or my email. But my x10 not. although I use her email and my email. So my conclusion... maybe there is something wrong with the phone. But I did not change anything just email and factory reset. and unfortunately my previous email already been deleted by me.
Now my x10 is so lame, cannot rooted and no more powerful app from market.
Please... if someone got the fix or accurate information, please post here.
(If someone ever post to fix by doing clear cache/update in application>market.....etc, I can say not work.)
Let's us all try to find the fix for this problem and discuss it together in this thread. Oke?
Thanks.

Since update to Android 2.1, I can not find "uninstall update" there anymore.
As I remember, sometimes ago, few friends experienced same problems, but this tips can solve the problem. But that time, my x10 never hard to download. But now, it is my turn. But the old tips could not help anymore.
Thanks.
Have you tried to recreate your old gmail account? The one you deleted before.

yes. but it apeears: "username and password not match" (or something like that.)
because I already deleted my old email.
I found so many same case with google. but still no logical explaination from Google or SE.
Tonight I try to flash back with this ROM 2.0.A.0.504 Generic. As I know this is the original rom for Indonesia. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Hope and pray this can help to fix the problem
Still can not download from market after flashing ROM.
Nothing fixes this problem, I tried everything possible....maybe it is an account conflict on the google server or something...This sucks big time

So you already recreated your deleted gmail account and use the same password and it still cannot run correctly? Have you tried to run setup wizard again?
Have you tried to wipe all your data?
I once wipe my gtalk data using titanium and I cannot access market because gtalk closely connected with market. What I did is factory reset my phone because original flash cannot work. It wipe all my data back to original nordic generic. Well just sharing my case. Hope it can help.

Problem : linking a youtube with a gmail acc

helo guys,
i've a question about the succesfully login into youtube. i've flashed a few days ago the Omega v5.2 Black Blue and i'm really happy with this rom. so, i think it's just a good moment to say thanks to the developers and involved people.
well, my problem is to get access into my youtube account. i always receive a failing message, that my email isn't linked with a youtube account. this isn't true. the account is linked to 100% with my hotmail acc, and this one with gmail, too.
so, i don't understand what i can do, to log in succesfully to my acc.
i hope i'll receive help, cause i don't will be able to resolve this problem alone
thx's
Had the same problem, there was a update to the youtube app just a few days ago which fixed this problem. Check to make sure you have the up to date version and it should work.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA
thanks. i'll look for the update. i hope this will resolve the problem/bug
well, thanks for your help this was the "half" solution.^^
with v3.5.5 downloaded from play store, finally it works with the succesfully login and linked account.
my phone works actually with omega v5.2, and there in the omega files kitchen is a moded youtube apk, which got a download option. this one doesn't works. its v2.1.6.
but, well, i'll use both for the moment, until the bug is fixed.
thanks a lot man
wierd. mines working perfectly though
i've no idea whats the problem with my installed mod youtube app from kitchen. with the offical app out of the store it works fine

DeskSMS stopped working

Hi folks,
I don't know where else to post this, since there is no official clockworkmod forum or anything like that.
basically I purchased a 1-year-subscription of DeskSMS (via Google Play in-app-purchase).....but only a few months later, it just stopped working.
It says "0 days remaining" - even though I should have 8+ months left
I have already sent the developer 2 emails (once trough the Google Checkout customer complaint interface), but he just flat out ignores all of my emails....
I've already tried uninstalling the app and deleting data (and even restoring an old version of the app with titanium)
but nothing seems to work....
...it seems like there is some sort of issue with the CWM licensing server for DeskSMS
is there anything I can do? it's borderline scam, that the developer just refuses to answer any of my mails

[Q] Instagram blocked my device

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

Hello everyone who have the same problem with me. My S grand2 disabled too, but my instagram still active, i can still login on other device/bluestacks.
Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.
And don't forget to follow my ig @denny.ri
