When signing in my google account, I get the error Problem communicating with google server. try again later.
Device LG G3 VS985
Rooted
Newest nightly of cm13
Tried different versions of opengapps
Tried installing google apps from apk mirror
Hosts looks normal
2 step disabled
Cleared cache for google apk's
Disabled and reenabled apps
Fully wiped and reinstalled Cm and Gapps
Cleared davlik and cache
History:
This all worked on a previous phone same model. replaced original device due to a 3000lb crushing incident.
This device, tot back, rooted, TWRP installed, 35b installed, flashed 47a rooted stock version.
Everything works.
Wipe system and install cm as I have done on previous device, and here I am.
I'm missing something but cant figure out what it is.
I have read through forum after forum and tried everyones so called fix but nothing works.
I even flashed my old backup from my previous device but had issues with updating gapps due to being older.
I've learned alot from you guys but this has me baffled.
FWIW I'm running into the EXACT same issue on AOSP/cm13 based roms. I've tried Dirty Unicorn, PAC alpha, and ParanoidAndroid all with the same issue. The official cm13 gets through connecting to googles servers, but I have sms issues on that.
I'm really not sure what could be causing it, as I've been searching the same as you and tried all of the posted "solutions" by other users. Also, it seems that most people are running into this error after they enter their username and password, but for me it won't even get that far.
If you find a solution PLEASE let me know, I had to revert to using stock 47a debloated, and I hate the LG skin.

I'm still looking. I will let you know if I find a solution. I'm surprised that with all the smart people on this site, that no one has an idea or such to help us work toward a solution.

On some roms it does go through for me (aospb, beanstalk), but then outgoing sms fails. I think it may be my device honestly...
Ok, got cm 12.1 to work with open gapps super. I'm able to setup gmail accounts and such. Did a full wipe. Used a clean SD card with only the files needed to flash.
Gonna try upgrading to cm13.

Got it working. The route I took was using a clean sdcard with only cm12 snapshot and your choice of open gapps. Wipe internal everything and flash the 2 files on the sdcard. Reboot. After all is said and done, grab the current cm13 nightly and matching gapps package and dirty flash both. from a clean sdcard. This worked for me. Good luck.

I have just recently tried to install the official cm11 images for my g3. They worked fine. Then, when I installed gel x-posed settings and activated it, I would get said error. It would pop up again and again. This would lead me to reflash my ROM. Then, I do not know what happened, when I would flash a ROM, I would get the error from the start. I eventually fixed this error. But then, when I tried to upgrade the nightly, I got the error again. So I flashed the ROM again, and let it sit. After a little while of perfection, the error came back up!
Here's what I have tried:
-reflashing the boot.IMG (unzipped)
-clearing cache (recovery)
-clearing Sim tool cache/data (said they were non existent when trying)
-reflashing stock, then reflashing cm11
I really want cm11 on my g3, but with these issues, I don't know whether I can now.
Any help would be appreciated!

CM Nightlies are working perfect for me with no errors. Here is the process I went through:
I am still using TWRP 2.8.0 which is the version I installed when I originally Bumped! my phone.
I downloaded CM and Gapps to root of my internal SD storage
I chose to Wipe in TWRP
I chose Advance Wipe
I picked every option except for Internal Storage and External SD Card/Storage
I then Wiped
Out of habit, I do this 3 times (don't ask why, I just do it from when I had older android devices)
I then go back to wipe main screen and slide to do the standard wipe, 3 times
Yes, this is probably overkill!
I then go to install in TWRP
I install CM, then I install gapps (using the gapps that are on this list: https://itvends.com/gapps/
Yes, the date of those gapps are a little older, but that is what worked for me per OP'S instructions
I went through setup of my phone, fixing APN, Setting WIFI to USA, signing into Google after first loading into Rom instead of signing into Google on first bootup. Did a reboot
Installed Xposed, and the modules needed, reboot
I never received any error
I have done 3 nightly updates so far, as of 11/30. I am sure 12/1 will be ready in an hour or so.
I always click on about phone, download said update and let the process do its thing automatically, walk away and the phone is ready to use
Still no errors whatsoever. In fact, this has been the first version of AOSP I have used for the G3 with 0 errors. It is perfect, for me - No issues.
Hope that helps.

I did everything exactly as you did, including the 3 wipes, also out of habit. I too however, get the same error with the latest nightly. It starts popping up as I try to add my Gmail account at the initial setup. Previously, the 'unofficial' builds did not do this to me. This is the only rom that does this, I have tried them all out. I have yet to try to flash a different gapps package to see if that makes a difference. Apparently I dont get the data issues with cm12, but get phone issues with cm11.
I'm a bit relieved to see I'm not the only one having this problem. Been updating every night to see if maybe it's fixed, but I still get the same error. Didn't happen on the first nightly I flashed, though. It lol seems to be happening at random for me. Sometimes I'll set my phone down for a couple hours, working perfectly fine. Then I pick it up to check something and I suddenly start getting that error. I've tried every "solution" I find and none of them work for me. Even thought it was an issue with reading my sim card because when I get the error, it shows that my sim card isn't being read. But I still get it when I take it out. A normal factory reset doesn't fix it either. I have to do a complete data format to remove the error.
I found a quick little fix where i make a backup earlier in the day and just restore it whenever I start getting the error, but it's still very annoying.
Same issue
Hey bros,
Same thing here. It's a baseband radio issue. Notice in settings under About Phone it says 'Baseband Version: Unknown'. Either TWRP is flashing over our baseband (not likely, calls and texts can be made before the error message attacks come), or CM11 has some issue on certain builds with reading our SIM cards. I think having an official 10B or 11C flashable baseband radio to install at the time of the ROM install will fix this problem. Waiting on CM to patch the code will take too long. Let me know if you find one of these basebands or can find out how to extract it (from file manager or somewhere?) as I have not been able to find this info on XDA or anywhere.
EDIT: I FIXED IT
I'm a new member, and XDA won't allow me to post links..... look in the OP for JasmineROM (all credit to author for posting this 11C modem and fabulous stock LG debloated ROM) under downloads, you'll find the 11C modem. Download it.
1. Place 11C modem.zip on external or internal, whichever you want. I prefer external.
In TWRP:
2. Backup, unless youre livin' life on the edge.
3. Wipe it all except for external (or internal, if you prefer to flash from your internal storage)
4. Add to Install zip que in order:
a) latest CM11 nightly
b) 11C modem found in JasmineROM OP of main thread
c) GAPPs of your choice (I like nano PA GAPPs, and just install whatever else i want after)
5. FLASH
6. profit
7. PHAP
I have heard the 10B radio works great too. holler back and post results between the 2 stock radios for VS985.
Please hit thanks, as I am new and want to be helpful, where possible. Please share this so others know that we can overcome this nonsense.
CM11!!! Phappin' so hard right now!
Got it again.... totally blowed right now. maybe reconfig APN to match VZW and it will work?
Thanks for all the responses, it currently seems that the problem is cm11. I will probably wait for a stable build. For now, I'm using an unofficial cm12 ROM. Thanks for all the help!

Are you using that PA GAPPs package that's in alpha? I think i'm going to give up and go to 12 too... I do know that the first official nightly of CM11 doesn't give me any errors, but Trebuchet is so buggy it won't take widgets. Had to download Nova
It makes me cry. My phone lasted through the night. Woke up at around 7 and it was fine. Went back to sleep and woke up at around 8:30 and I was crushed to see the problem happening again. There doesn't seem to actually be anything thy triggers it. :/
Yeah I think I'm gonna just try out cm12 and see how that goes.
Double check to make sure the phone isn't running in art. That fixed my problems! Xposed and art do not work together!![emoji2]
Im getting the same error on my phone usually a few says after using any of the nightlies. When i go to make a phone call it gives me the force close and doesnt stop. Ive since moved back to stock hoping someone had more info on the issue. My phone was not using Art but I did have xposed installed.

Nope. Could find only old gapps
terribly sorry about the brain fart. whole problem arose because i didnt flash the correct gapps . got the gapps from xda and now its working well. but i am getting a pop up saying that google play services have not been installed on your computer etc...
will this problem go away if i just install the google play services apk?
edit : after flashing the proper gapps, an update from the play store solved everything. Now running smoothly.
since i updated to cm12,go power master has not been able to turn data off when the screen turns off. this was working flawlessly in kitkat. even the go power master widget is not working. thought there might be a problem with root,so flashed supersu 2.40 from recovery. but still it isnt working. any idea what the problem might be?

Has the app been updated to support LP? At times in the past, access for 3rd party apps to stuff like data connection, which requires root, sometimes changes functionality with version upgrades. Don't know if that's the case in this circumstance, but it's something to look into.
Performance drop
Flashed this rom with fulll wipe. Works well, but sometimes performance *drops* happens. It becomes VERY slow, like CPU speed drops down to 128mhz. I had the same problem on cm 11.
Who knows how to fix it?
Looking great and functions great but I am getting terrible battery life due to "miscellaneous" or "Cellular Standby" according to battery stats.

Video call issue
Video call isn't working in both skype and viber. Skype app is crashing as soon as I turn video on. Viber just doesn't turn on the video transmission. Can please somebody report about this issue to CyanogenMod team. I use video calling really often, so this is kind of issue keeps me away from using official CM12 builds. CM11 builds had this issue too and it hasn't got fixed till now.

CM Updates
Settings - About phone - CyanogenMod updates indicates no new updates found despite new updates posted at http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=e970. I switched from unofficial CM12 to official CM12 several updates ago. I'm using the gapps posted here https://s.basketbuild.com/gapps. Is there a setting I need to revise to begin seeing the CM updates on my phone. It's no big deal since I can go to the CM device list and download directly.

Sorry for late answer. I was too busy to post logcats earlier. I hope issues will get fixed.
I installed CM12.0 (1/27 build) but any 5.0 gapps I try fails to flash on the official TWRP 2.8.3.0 for the e970. I've tried bpear, PA, and one other. I can get the ROM to boot, then it gives FC's for every Google App, and the apps are all named by their com. ... name, and say "app not installed" when clicked. I have loaded the zip files over wifi, through adb push, via usb, and through straight download to the device. I've also run them from the external SD and the internal storage.
Is there a different recovery I should be using with this? Will a Nexus 4 recovery work on the e970?

I'm using TWRP 2.8.4.0 recovery. I initially installed the CM12 unofficial rom along with this gapps:

Audio calls problem
Hi,
I recently updated my OS from LG's Official 4.1.2 to CM12. Everything seems to be working fine but for making/receiving calls. I am not able to hear or speak over the microphone and speaker outlet unless or until I use a headphones in which case both work properly. Can anyone please help?
Details on my upgrade:
I had backed up my data and downloaded the CM12 zip files with Gapps and SuperUser into my SD card. Once they were ready, I restarted my mobile in Recovery mode and wiped the user data and installed CM12.zip followed by Gapps followed by SuperUser. Then rebooted my mobile and check everything for the working condition. It was working perfectly except for the fact that when I receive phone calls or when I make a phone call once I attend the call, I would not be able to speak to the person or hear the person in normal mode nor in speaker mode. The only way it works is if I use my headphones.
I had installed CM12 01/26/2015 version. And have tried later versions until 01/30 but I do not find that to be fixing. It would be of great help if anyone could help me.
Thanks,
Arun

Hi Guys,
I'm needing a little help. I have my phone rooted and it was flashed with CM11. I switched back to the stock rom to check something and when I tried to reactivate the slot my rom was in, the reactivation failed. So I figured if I have to put a rom back on, I would try something new. After reading some reviews on a couple of roms, I choose the Pacman LP rom 5.1.1. Installed and flashed the gapps. All of the google stuff updated fine. A couple of days later I noticed I wasn't able to use the data to go online. The phone and texts were fine. I thought it was the rom, so I deleted it and reflashed. Again, couldn't go online. Contacted my carrier and the found out the APN wasn't listed. Added it and all was good again. So I thought.
After flashing the rom I again flashed the gapps, only this time google play services will not update. It keeps flashing error code 506. I've wiped the cache several time and have also done a factory reset to no avail. I've also deleted the rom and tried installing it in a different slot, and that isn't working either. I've downloaded newer versions of gapps, but cannot get them to install at all. When trying, I either get error code 40 or 70.
I've deleted the cache from Google Play Store and Google Play Services and I've also gone into data/data and deleted the cache from com.android.vending. Nothing seems to work.
After this long story, my question is, if go into the stock rom and delete safestrap and reinstall it, could that possibly fix my issue?

Try mokee, cyanogen, or one of the unofficial roms like resurection remix or something like. I am currently running on my droid 4 and razor resurection remix but based on android M. It all depends on what you like. If you like to customize and highly configurable rom resurection remix based on android M is good to go. I use open gapps projects.
Hi,
I was running a cm 13 ROM on my Galaxy S 3 i9300. With Google Play. But after installing several ROMs it's gone. I have the same ROM but when I now install it it comes without Gapps. How come? Is there a way to switch them off/on somewhere so they won't get installed?
How to get it back? I have tried to intsall Google Play separately but none seam to work. Google services just keeps crashing.

If it comes without GApps, you can try flashing them... http://opengapps.org/
To check your type of processor, you can try using Droid Info(this one is better I think) or CPU-Z. Since you don't have Play Store, probably APK mirror is a choice.
If this is not what you want, please explain yourself better.
( I am assuming you have a custom recovery to flash OpenGapps, since you tried several ROMs)
I have Clocworkmod recovery (if this answers the question). Since I rooted the phone, I have only tried like 3-4 different CM ROMs. Only one of them came without Google. Others came with Google. But few days ago when I flashed the same ROMs several times I suddenly didn't get Google anymore. How come if it's the same ROM file?
Thanks for the links, I'll check the out later. Gotta run ATM.

That seems very strange, since its the same file. Did you tried downloading and reflashing the zip again? Something weird could have happened, resulting in a corrupted file.
By the way, I just noticed that CWM 6.0.4.7 and 6.0.4.5 have some problems with the OpenGapps, according to their FAQ(section 5)

By the way, I just noticed that CWM 6.0.4.7 and 6.0.4.5 have some problems with the OpenGapps, according to their FAQ(section 5)

Opengapps was what I needed! And it worked. Thanks!
But yeah, I was certainly flashing same ROM files. First few times I got Google and at some point not anymore. I did not download new zip files in the meantime. I don't even remember where I did I get one of them. I have noticed a similar thing some time ago that flashing the same ROM gave me a little different outcome. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was something like although I wiped cache and user data, I still had all my settings in place after flashing.

So I have got this Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 3G 10.1" that has been lying in a cupboard for a around a year, mainly because I've been busy Now there's a family member of mine who would really need a tablet so I thought this one would be perfect for her!
From thinking I went on to doing and started with getting rid of the stock software and installing some nice custom ROM.
As I found out i couldn't use USB (probably busted data-cable), I rooted the tab using KingRoot and went on installing CWM recovery. Afterwards long story short: I've tried both CWM and TWRP, different ROM and android versions (Lineage, CM, Slim etc.) and different GApps packages from different developers but the problem still seems to come up :crying:
The problem itself is that when I've installed any of the above mentioned ROMs, all the GApps seem to not have been installed correctly (even though the installation process in recovery went smoothly) and basically none of them works (notifications saying that any GApp has stopped keep on coming up and I can't find any Google app in the menu except something things like "com.google.android..." or "com.android.vending...") otherwise everything seems perfectly fine.
Maybe there are others here experiencing the same issue or there's someone who knows how to fix this here, any help will be very appreciated :good:
Hello,
First, have you checked that the ROM you flashed was fully compatible with your device? Yes, this is obvious, but I have to ask.
Second, I'm not a ROM flashing via custom recovery fan... The best way to efficiently flash a ROM in my opinion is Odin-Download mode but whatever (your USB port is screwed, so pfu.)
Redownloading apps doesn't work for you? (updating the apk may fix that!)

Thanks for your reply!
Yes, I do have used ROMs compatible with my device as they've all are made for espresso3g (which is my device).
I know it's not really the best way but I'll keep on trying with custom recovery for some more time and then perhaps try buying a new cable, and see if that works.
Tried installing Google Play Store from APK both on a clean ROM without GApps and with, but it still doesn't run and keeps on saying that either Google Play Store or "com.google.process.gapps" has stopped.
Alright...
I'm out of idea x/

Hello...!
You could try the following....
1. make absolutely sure you are using the correct version of gapps for the custom rom you are currently using. If your custom rom is on android 6, you need gapps for android 6 for example.
2. after flashing gapps wipe cache/dalvik and make a factory reset BEFORE exiting twrp. You will lose personal data but since you are preparing to give the device to somebody else that should not be much of a concern.
Let me know if it helps, if it does not, I might be able to try and provide additional suggestions.
Good luck!

Hi and thanks for your reply!
1. The ROMs I've been trying to install are all android 6.0.1 and I've been trying with different OpenGApps packages for the 6.0 version which should work (except CM 12 which is android 5.1 with which I've tried OpenGApps and A-Gapps for Android 5.1).
2. Tried that with 3 different ROMs today and the results are following: Slimrom gets stuck in setupwizard which doesn't start, CM 12 starts but the same error as first seems to appear (I get notifications about GApps which stop working) and Lineage bootloops the lineage start screen.

Ok...
This is what I would do if it was my device and I was facing what you are describing. It might take some time and a little patience to do everything described here, but it might also work.
1. Usin Odin, flash latest available official rom for the device. Let it boot and complete setup.
2. Use odin and use CF autoroot to root. Again boot and complete setup.
3. Flash Twrp. Enter Twrp and flash latest flashable supersu.zip. At this time I believe is version 2.82. Again boot and let it reach your welcome screen.
4. Enter Twrp. Enter advanced wipe. Wipe everything except external SD and usb at least 3 times. Do not exit twrp.
5. Install you rom. Do not exit Twrp.
6. After installing your rom, Twrp will ask you if you want to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" but DO NOT reboot.
7. Install correct version of gapps for your custom rom (correct both android version and architecture version). Again twrp will ask you to wipe cache/dalvik. "Yes" and this time reboot.
See what happens. If it gets stuck, try entering twrp again and do a factory reset only, only once and reboot again.
If that fails again... I will at a loss here myself too...
I did a quick search here on xda on P5100, I am providing some links that you can take a look at. You probably already searched yourself but you never know...

If nothing else helps, perhaps the best way to go around this would be to find a custom rom with at least some google apps pre-installed, in order to save you the trouble you are currently facing.

Hey, just try uninstalling Google play services and install them again. I faced the same issue and now it's all working on my Samsung Galaxy Core 2
