I'm on stock 2.2 without any Root. I can't connect either to android market or to any google apps like gmail, gtalk etc. There isn't any issue with my data plan as i can browse the net and using twitter and Facebook flawlessly. As i am newbie in this android bandwagon i don't know if it is required to have any specific configuration for google apps and market?
Gmail
I think you have to register your GMail account first to use the GTalk & Market app.
ya i tried to register in the market app via handset.. popup shows it requires to have around 5 minute to connect to google server..then error message showing that cannot connect to server..It may be an issue with my operator? but then i can browse the net and use FB and twitter.
" can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" this is the error message poping up while i tried gmail,gtalk,and market app.
Wi-Fi
If you get the chance, try using Wi-Fi first just to register your GMail account.
My issue is solved...this is what i did:
Settings-accounts & sync then ticked the auto sync option..
Now every thing working perfectly...
The weirdest thing to me... I type in "ducks without feathers" on my work or home pc and that same search shows up on my galaxy s3 a little while later. Im connected to a wireless network on both and signed in to google on all 3. Is this why? Does it work the opposite where things written on the phone show up on the computers? I find this invasive if i want to search something in private but it shows on my work pc? Anyway, just curious whats going on.

because you are signed in on your PC with your mobile Google account. so they save search history to your account...
if you think this is invasive, the. I think you should logout of Google for when your searching up these things you for some reason don't want recorded.
on a personal note, I would say delete your accounts and toss your phone and stop using the internet if you think linking search history that is only viewable to you is invasive. do you know how many things are tracking you web wide, not just search history on Google?
"Ducks without feathers?" :what::what::what::what:
Like stated above, search history is saved onto your Google account and synced. You can disable it in settings, though.

So you will search for ANYTHING on your work computer then? Its none of my employers business if i think i have cancer and want to search for symptoms on a personally owned device.

I personally wouldnt use a personal Google account at work honestly. less trouble period. a better solution I think would be to use a second account for business use only. limits potential vectors that something can obtain your PW, personal info and such.
Under your account sync options sync browser is one of the available selections.
Google History
I am having the same problem however, I am not searching FROM my PC , I am searching from my phone and it shows up on my work PC. I am not even logged in to my Google account at work! How is this happening?
It's not "Sync Browser"

That doesn't stop it.
I've had "Sync Browser" disabled since shortly after I got the phone, because "Sync Browser" is a battery killer. (Before I disabled "Sync Browser," Settings->Battery showed 33% used by "Browser" when I'd done no web browsing on the phone at all; after I disabled "Sync Browser" that went to zero.) But even though "Sync Browser" is disabled on my phone, my google searches on the computer (in any web browser) are still showing up on the phone, almost immediately.
I also tried disabling "Sync Google+," "Sync Google+ Photos," and "Sync Google+ Uploads," but that didn't stop it, either.
I also tried disabling "Sync App Data," but that didn't stop it, either.
The only other Sync settings I have enabled are:
Sync Calendar
Sync Contacts
Sync Gmail
Sync People details
This is very annoying!

SO RIDICULOUS! I CANNOT BELIEVE WHAT I'M WATCHING UNFOLD???? YET AS YOU SEE BY SOME OF THE ANSWERS IT DOESN'T SEEM TO ANGER PEOPLE WHOM SHOULD BE ANSWERING THE CONCERNS YOU ARE REQUESTING. DEVELOPERS ON THIS VERY WEBSITE TELLING YOU TO DELETE YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT. ITS SCARY WHAT GOOGLE IS CAPABLE OF DOING, WE ALL HAVE PICTURES, DOCUMENTS, PRIVATE THINGS WE'D BE MORTIFIED WE DIDN'T KNOW WERE SHARED ALREADY. I MYSELF HAVE TROUBLE SEEING, I'LL TAKE A PICTURE OF SOMETHING I'M READING TO ZOOM IN, OR REFER TO INSTRUCTIONS INSTEAD OF 10 WINDOWS OPEN AT THE SAME TIME. I ASKED GOOGLE PLUS A QUESTION, AND IT SHOWS UP IF I GOOGLE MY OWN NAME, ABOUT GAME OF THRONES!!!! I SAY OKAY GOOGLE CONSTANTLY TO NOT HAVE TO TYPE ON MY PHONE. ONE SUGGESTION IS TO SEARCH "INCOGNITO" ITS RIGHT IN THE TOOLS ON GOOGLES MENU. GO TO (website blocked me from providing you the site) sign in there and look at everything one by one. it shows where you've been, where you've signed in, you can change all kinds of settings through that. Most of all fear google plus the most! Because they auto upload without permission your cameras pictures and aren't private by default. It used to be Picasa I think Google bought it. So much more,,,, For now start those suggestions
Hello,
I'm using the latest version of Google Maps on JB 4.2.2 [Nexus 4]
I noticed that I cannot edit the names of my locations in "My Places" in the phone app. So I used Google Bookmarks (google.com/bookmarks) from my PC to edit/rename My Places. However, the names do not sync or carry through to the Google Maps app on the phone. The names in the app are still the generic names, coordinates or street names.
Is there any way to change the names of My Places and get them to sync with the phone app? Really baffling!

Was searching in Google for same issue and came across this post.
Okay, I figure out how to reproduce the bug, at least in my case. If I star it on the desktop browser, it won't push any new name to the ios app. But if I star it on the ios app, then go to rename it in the browser, and then go back to the ios app, the new name appears. Huh?

I tried with one of my bookmarks and this technique worked!

I wrote that. Good to see myself quoted on xda!
Definitely this works on latest Maps app on Latest iOS. However, definitely this technique does *not* work (at least in my case, Samsung GS4 Google Ed.) using the latest Maps app (7.0.1) on Android 4.2.2. In fact, with this setup, the places list does not show *any* of the names I have assigned using the Bookmarks webpage, no matter what I try. Erg.
Not so long ago Google introduced amazing addition to Play Books - uploading your own epub and pdf files through http://play.google.com/books/uploads. However, I'm not from US and my Google Account isn't either assigned to US - I have access only to Android apps. However, when Google Music was not available in Poland, I managed to enable it on my account by logging in through US VPN, have full Google Play USA experience and enter music library. After turning off VPN, whole USA experience disappeared - music, books, movies etc. However, after entering https://play.google.com/music/, everything worked like with VPN in spite of having Polish IP. Since then I have ability to upload 20 000 music files, listen to them and use Google Music app on phone to stream. No music buying function - just uploading and listening.
Now it looks like a similar situation is with Play Books - I'm looking for a way to enable just uploading epub and pdf files without ability to buy books from Play Store. After reading about it, I immediately downloaded, installed and turned on Hotspot Shield as my VPN. Checked IP - it was US one, so I logged in to Google. And surprise - no Google Play USA experience, like then. Only apps. After manually typing http://play.google.com/books/uploads there is a note: "Sorry! Books on Google Play is not available in your country yet". I tried to create new account while being connected through VPN. It worked - I was even able to download Play Books to my Nexus 7 after pairing it with my new account (it was using Hotspot Shield too). However, after turning VPN off, my new USA account lost it's full Play Store - it showed me Polish one, with apps only. What's more, after enabling VPN again, there still were no USA Play Store.
My question is: is there an ability to enable Play Books on non-US account (for example like I did with Music) or just to enter full USA Play Store on my non-US account (for example to upload some pdf or epub and then watch if it'll work). I emphasize - I don't need ability to buy anything from Store, no matter whether it's free or not. Just uploading ebooks and reading them on my phone/tablet.
P.S. I've tried Market Enabler, Market Helper and VPNs on Nexus 7 to enter Google Play USA on my Polish account - nothing worked. As far as I know, Market enablers and other tweaks doesn't longer work. Second Google account worked for a while - that's how I downloaded Books app - but now it doesn't (still, it would be rather dumb to have two accounts - one normal and second for Books).
I second this.
I'd like to upload like 3 pdf to my account to read them on the go. I'd hate to use another reader for that.
thnaks Konpon96 for asking the question. we're in same situation here . i tried the same way like you did but no luck at all . can someone help us on this . thanks
Yeah , I tried E-mailing Google Customer Service about this but they replied and said Sorry they can't do anything about it . Which I highly doubt it , they should make it international access like those other services who can provide US content without VPN
what a waste . do we need to wait ?
hi all . i able to do it by creating new gmail address and using vpn client . i able to upload a few epub file to play books
The thing I'm curious about is why I cannot enter Google Play USA by VPN on my current account - previously it was available.

Not sure but I think Google is referring to the address you have registered with your credit card on your Google Play account.

I thought about it, but then I've had my credit card attached to Google Play... but if they're now looking on that, it may be possible to connect fake-emulated USA card - there were a site to do it, but I've forgotten it's name.

My wife, who never bind her credit card on Google Play, is able to upload pdf and epub files on the Google Books Reader just using a VPN.

Sadly those domiciliated in a country where the Play Store has not been deployed yet are far from living the promised Google experience.
I'm in the same boat as OP.
And this is also true only for my personal account where I previously enabled Google Music using proxy (year or two back). On my wife's account (GMusic not enabled) I can access Google Books web site and upload stuff without problems. I already tried changing data in the Wallet but to no avail. It's something else...
Bummer
For me it worked, using a VPN (www.getusvpn.com)
As we speak, I am uploading my book collection.

It has nothing to do with the VPN provider - I can also use this provider and it does not work. It seems they have activated an additional check and the result is somewhere stored in the user profile. If I logoff and go to play.google.com, then I have everything available - as soon as I login, I'm limited to apps...
So the big question is, what information is now additionally checked...

It works until you disconnect from VPN - after that, even if you uploaded some files, Books are still unavailable. I've created new Google Account while being connected with VPN and it fully works with USA Google Play - I managed to upload some books. Unfortunately, after disconnecting from VPN, non-US Store comes back - strange, cause that account was created "in USA". It looks like Books cannot be made available like Music, just through entering their library - they disappear as soon as you disconnect from VPN. It isn't handy way to hang around with being connected through VPN all the time. :/
Same issue here. Haven't managed to find a way past them.
I've tried removing payment details from Wallet, changing country in Accounts, and of course using a VPN (Tunnelbear). Still no go.
I really think they should at least let people use Books as a reader. I don't know but I feel people might be more inclined to start purchasing from the Books store when it's available in their country if they already have a vast majority of their pdfs/epubs available on said platform. I'm able to view my library (which consists of the Nexus 7 guidebook and some random book). Maybe they could shift the upload functionality to the "My Library"page instead, which should solve the troubles with have.
Side note, I was able to access Music without a VPN. I managed to upload my collection, but am unable to buy any Music off of the store.
Yeah I wish they made it like the Music, when you register, you can access it just fine.
:/
I have the exact same problem but i notice something, i created a new account using a VPN and if I use that account i can us the whole us playstore but if i change to my regular account its gone even thought i have the VPN activated.
how do they bing my account to my country?
Here what worked for me:
1) Create a new google account.
2) Via a US VPN sign in google books and upload your books.
3) On your phone open Play Books app and sing in as your second account. Your books should appear.
Restrict your phone to sync only Google Books from the second account.
anyone has the solution yet?
I have removed all location information in my account setting (gmail, google+, wallet, etc), but no luck
really would like to make this work
Hey guys,
I got an HTC Jetstream as a gift recently and its lovely! I was successfully able to connect it to my WiFi and browse the internet and stuff but for some reason the Play Store is not available. It still has the old "Market" app which does not connect to the internet even if I put in my Google ID and password.
It comes back with an error stating my Internet connection is not reliable. However, I am able to download stuff and video HD quality YouTube videos. I am not able to log in to any Google apps as well.
What seems to be the problem?

Does it let you log into a Google service (i.e. Gmail) via a browser on the Jestream? If not then you might want to troubleshoot using Google Dashboard on a different computer.
Otherwise, this might be a time when performing a factory reset fixes things. Is losing all of your data acceptable?
Search google: google play apk download. Install the latest market app.
