You just simply remove your sim card and your problem is done....and now just sign in to your account...and your problem is fix!!!!??????
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPAQ 6515a User:
Briliant, worked on my Razr D3 and SG4 :)

UPDATE

Actually I found the culprit ..... edited hosts file so the device stays ad-free. Usually when you edit hosts (or an app) the line: 127.0.0.1 android.clients.google.com gets messed up. You just need to put it back right after the first line and voi-la

UPDATE 2

I have noticed that I get different xxx.x.x.x android.clients.google.com for different sim card inserted. Putting # in front of it does the trick till reboot, after that there is a new line inserted (xxx.y.y.y) and when I change SIM it changes to zzz.z.z.z. So there must be a change on google side and now it is connected to your SIM, when I reboot a phone with no SIM .... Playstore works flawlessly. Hmm, go figure.

Another [Fixed] solution

For the persons stayed in PRC, China, fighting with the China GFW (Great Fire Wall) with using Google's GoAgent in their Android devices. May screw up the /system/etc/security/cacerts (this is a directory) because Google Agent (GAE) will require to put cacerts.bks.

Rename or delete the /system/etc/security/cacerts will also generate the "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error.

DO NOT MESS AROUND WITH THE cacerts DIRECTORY, I BELIEVE GOOGLE USE THE DATA TO CREATE THE SECURE INTERNET CONNECTION.

After you fix the Google account, the Google Play / Youtube / Pushbullet / Facebook /Root Explorer...all back to normal.

Culprit : Adaway

This is a little tricky. I think in your case its a rooted phone and the culprit is adaway . Let me explain about adaway .

An ad blocker that uses the hosts file. The hosts file contains a list of mappings between hostnames and IP addresses. When an app requests an ad, that request is directed to 127.0.0.1 which does nothing. There are options to run a web server to respond to blocked hostnames and to direct requests to the IP address of your choosing. You can download hosts files from the app but it is possible to use your own and to add certain sites to the white- and black-lists. So guys this is what an adaway does .

Coming to your question , adaway has made some changes to your phone which prevents the ad and the gmail syncing and all those google id dependant apps . So eventhough you deleted the app , the changes that the adaway made, remains to do its work .

Install adaway once more ---> download the host files( for blocking the ads) and reboot . Check whether gmail is syncing now .

If its not ,disable adblocking and check once more . You will surely see gmail syncing now. :D

then turn it on without those and try to sign in just using your wifi.

Backup Your data using Titanium Backup and move it to your external sd card. Factory Reset your phone and see the magic. You can log into Google this time. This once happened to me and I followed the same procedure.

I love you

After 97 try, the only one worked for me. I love you dear. God bless your personality for sharing. I just deleted them all but leave 127.0.0.1 Localhost (six time spacebar between 1 and L. I just copied from my old school HTC 4G EVO. There is nothing only one 127.0.0.1 Localhost thanks

Edit:In my case, some apps install not from play store which has rights to write host files (technically google products) may cause these issues when upgrade or install the same product from play store.

In the host file, the first line from stock, should be only one. If you see any additional lines that maybe from other app that not rights to text localhost but authorised google products. That’s why when we reset the phone, nothing happen and having same issue. No app or code to take the host file to take back to stock when factory reset. I am wrong from your case. I have t-mobile LG G3.

Can't sign in + Can't establish a reliable connection

Hello,

In the last 2 days I have had great problems with my Nexus 4. First, Google Play Store didn't work properly (downloads and updates wouldn't finish, they would freeze always at the same % of progress). After trying to fix that by deleting cache and data of apps related to PlayStore, due to all such methods failing in making PlayStore work, I tried deleting my Google account associated with my phone, hoping that when I set it up again, Play Store would start working. Unfortunately, afterwards I couldn't set up my account again, I kept receiving "Can't sign in + Can't establish a reliable connection" error. I googled the problem and tried applying various solutions but none worked (not even Youtube workaround). Other than that, it seems to me that my battery is draining faster since this started and Facebook Messenger's chat heads don't work properly (might not be related at all, I don't know). What should I do? Should I contact my carrier? Should I do a factory reset or is there a chance for fixing this problem without losing all my data (my phone is not rooted, so I can't back data up)?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
AlexT: I've already posted something that worked for me in another similar thread: AdAway app. Install it and see if it works for you as well. "Problem" is, AdAway requires a rooted phone and it's not available in play store, so you must search for it somewhere else (many sources out there). And as far as I know, every possible solution found for this issue requires for you to root your device, which is not really that bad. You'll love to have your phone rooted anyway. Or... forget about root and being happy, contact your carrier and let 'em suffer the PITA. Hope it helps

Any body else got a clue what else we can delete to reset the google accounts in the phone?

if your phone has root access just go to device\etc and open hosts file as text editor in your es file explorer or root explorer and add # to the ip make it look like this #127.0.0.1 save it than reboot your phone and try login again

if this doesn't work try to update AdAway host file it worked for me:eek:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Analog Kid:
Skilledfire: I had a similar problem with an HTC G1recently. More likely, you don't have an available connection either on Wi-Fi or carrier network. I solved it by APN configuration. Seems you lost it when you performed a factory reset. APN configuration options must appear when selecting menu, right there, where you're trying to login. You must Google the right configurations for your carrier first. Then, you place 'em there, save, and you must be able to sign in to your account now

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 AM ----------

Ok, Skilledfire: So I must assume you've managed to sign in to your account by means of who knows what... If so, and you are tired enough to find yourself in strange lands and keep on trying to edit the dirty, rotten, filthy, stinking host file, then perhaps time has come to download and install AdAway. It'll do that for you, PLUS (a big one), it will also take annoying ads... away!

By the way: using the "thanks" button when somebody helps, is a much appreciated, nice and easy thing to do. It's also a good guide to know who is being useful to others. Please?

[Streak 5 General] spacecat:
I have had my Streak for a couple of months now and when i first got it the screen seemed HUGE.

Now whilst im still really enjoying it im wondering if i could cope with an even bigger screen................cough.....cough....Galaxy....cough...tab ....ahem

anyone else thinking along these lines?

I dont feel embarassed holding up the streak to my head on the phone and tbh no one has ever looked at me funny when i have done so.

I really dont use my phone much to talk so the size issue isnt that much of a big deal

i still love my streak and i dont fancy paying out £700 for a tab but 7 inches of froyo and flash goodness is tempting.

The Ipad IS TOO BIG!
[Streak 5 General] Fxxxx:
You should try samsung galaxy tab and viewsonic viewpad 7 both of them is 7" screen and will be coming out soon.
[Streak 5 General] Troute:
Coming to the Streak from a 7" apad I'd say the 5" is better. The 7" screen is good but still just too big to be pocket portable. If you've a bag or a case to put it in then fine, it's a good working size. 2.2 Froyo might be a problem though if what I read is true. Froyo won't work well on tablets, it was designed for smart phones, even on the steak I see a lot of apps that just don't cope well with the extra screen acreage.
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
youve become desensitized. go hold an iphone for about 3 minutes. itll seem microscopic and then when you hold your streak again itll feel huge again. and youll be happy you got your streak. :)
[Streak 5 General] spacecat:
funny you should say that but i compared my streak to a friends i phone yesterday and it did seem huge

we then drew up a template of a Galaxy tab using the measurements and that seemed very big.

Basically the whole streak is about the size of the Tabs screen!

im not un happy with my streak but as a rare talker on mobiles and i do put my streak in a bag it might be worth a thought esp with phone capability to consider the Tab.

when i want to carry a phone in my pocket i get out my old Hero i.e. in the evenings
[Streak 5 General] flumps:
i did just that when i was out shopping, popped into the apple store and compared iphone4 against the streak......i just couldnt put up with such a small screen..
[Streak 5 General] fards:
It's never felt that big to me.

I was playing with my advantage the other day, 640x480 5" screen it's bigger than the streak.

How far ahead of the game HTC were with that device, pity they didn't go with Bluetooth keyboard for it, could happily use that and the case it came with the streak then.. except four the magnets everywhere. .

Anyway the steak it's prefect size to me sometimes I wish it were a bit taller in landscape orientation, so I could see a bit more, but otherwise it's fantastic!

My sister called for my mum yesterday and I handed my mum the Streak, she didnt know what it was! I was like,its a phone mum, she just held it flat in her hands in front of her and was like 'Hello hello?!', as if she thought it was automatically on speaker phone or something, old people make me laugh!
[Streak 5 General] The Jack of Clubs:
i played with my touch pro today. ^_^ how did i survive? a two and a half in screen. and i used to watch videos on it! its smaller tall than my streak is wide. still, my streak doesnt feel as big as it did the first day i had it. i dont think i would like a phone that is bigger than the streak, but maybe a larger screen. there is alot of bezel on the streak.

Customer Service Reps and any technical support below really don't know much as opposed to that level. I was surprised... But nevertheless, allow me to explain.

A lot of MTS owners have been reporting signal fluctuations and that's because of what I had said about this previous update locking the signal to HSPA. Well, that was a test update in that regard because it was all to test the server load. (It's not handling it well, lol...) So this next patch will fix many of the bugs and will allow the MTS to use the HSPA+ servers. I have an ETA for Froyo on my Vibrant but not the Slide, sorry.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonathan3579:
Well, I don't know if you've heard but there were rumors of the GPS fix to be baked into Froyo. Sadly, that isn't the case. There will be the GPS patch this month (which is rumored to begin getting pushed around the 17th-20th) and then there will be another sub-patch (which is for the battery meter, address book force closes, multiple contacts and plenty of other bugs) released once the GPS fix is complete.

Then we've got October and that's when T-Mobile is planning on starting the rollout for Froyo. It is to be completed before the middle of November. I suppose this is all factoring minimal to no issues with the OTA's coming out prior.

Sidenote: With this whole Cliq debacle, I was told that from this point forward T-Mobile will try to focus their Android lineup on mostly vanilla Android. (I wouldn't mind more Sense devices though. I personally don't care for Espresso but my wife loves her slide and the UI.) They are really having to bite the bullet since the Behold II and now the Cliq's promised update to 2.1 from Q2 which it's now almost Q4 with no update.
