No Account Sync + WiFi Failure - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Until 2-3 days ago, both my Google account sync on my phone and WiFi connectivity worked. However, both of these have now failed. I am not sure they are linked, but I assume they are considering the problems surfaced at a similar time.
1) Gmail doesn't work - the app opens, but does not download or send emails. No error message appears, it just does nothing. I press refresh to no avail. Going onto the Play Store and again encountering account sync failure made me realise it was an account wide and phone problem and not just Gmail.
2) Whilst my data connection works (and therefore the above account sync problem is not one of connectivity), the WiFi connection that worked up until 2 days ago does not work anymore. It is a hotel network, but rather than redirect me to a login page it sends me to a single page (not the login page) and does not allow any other sites. The problem is most probably down to my phone as the WiFi network and login works fine on my PC and for everyone else in the hotel.
Any ideas as to how to resolve this?
Thanks

Clear data from Google framework services..delete your google account..reboot ..add your Google account again..and do this on your data network..coz for WiFi you need to contact the admin of your hotel..

Help!! Can't sign in Google Account

I just flash new rom and it happen at the first start. Can't sign in Google Account, so I can't sync my contact and use market, etc. I search for many solutions, such as, hard reset, clear cahce in Application setting, reflash rom, roll back to old rom, and so on. It still can't connect!!!!
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server. This could be a temporary problem or your phone may not be provisioned for data services. If it continues, call Customer Care."
This message show up when I try to connect. Pls. Help!!!!

or check your current APN settings
who is your service provider?
where are you located?
I'm now in Beijing, China. (China Mobile) but, I can sync with this before. I'm here 1 year already. It just happen to unable to sync 2 days ago. I'm sure I have wifi connection, because I can use browser to log in to gmail. However, can't establish connection between phone and google account. Current APN setting is set to China Mobile!! Someone here said it was a problem of google sevice, so everyone now can't resync if reset phone. Is it true?
I'm having the same problems in Beijing as well. I wasn't able to log into my account. Every other time I flash a rom its been problem free, but it's been 2 days now. Same message, 'can't establish a reliable days connection to the google servers'
I can also surf and login through my carrier and WiFi, but no login.
I'm also in China (not Beijing; I'm in Dalian) and using China Mobile. I reinstalled the firmware this morning and I also cannot connect to Google's servers. Everything works fine using Wifi, and I've tried clearing the cache etc.
Looks like a Google issue?
i`m in iran and i have same problem my wifi and apn work because i can use browser and my google account is working because i use it in my pc.but my ppc with android can not connect i used it befor but now i can`t

Can't set up new Google Account to sync

I'm trying to set up a new Google account on my Hero to replace the one I've been using, but every time I try to add one it says "Error: Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server." I've been trying it for the past 2 days and it never works. I've tried it over 3G (which works fine when I try to navigate to other websites in the browser), as well as WiFi (which is also working), but it keeps saying it can't connect and that my phone is not "provisioned for data services." Does anyone know what's going on?

[Q] ActiveSync quit working, can't get it to reconnect

I've had Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync set up on my phone for a few weeks now. Over the past weekend I noticed that it quit working. When I opened up the email app it said something to the effect of it wasn't connecting to the server. I deleted the email account and tried adding it in again, but it just won't connect. I will put in my email account and password and it'll eventually say it couldn't connect and there is a button to manually edit the setting. When I click that It shows the server as pod51010.outlook.com. I know this is the correct server and since I didn't put it in it must have been able to successfully find the server, just will not allow me to connect for whatever reason. I have co workers that are using other android phones(HTC inspire, Samsung Stratosphere, Google Nexus) and none of them have the issues. It's just my phone.
Anyone have any idea what's happening?
EDIT: I also check my Captivate and it no longer works, So maybe its just a selection of Samsung phones.

Email client not syncing over 3G, only works over wifi.

Hi,
I search over the forum but didn't find the answer to my question.
I'm the happy owner of a GS3 stock rom, not rooted, fresh out of the box.
It works verry well. I'm impressed by the device itself but I struggle with a problem.
My exchange account won't syncronize over 3G. Every few minutes, I get a message saying "unable to connect to [my account]"
gmail client works just fine but I have two email addresses (pro and home).
This is not a connectivity issue as other apps works great aover 3G and this is not a network limitation as I can connect thru other wifi networks.
I can do all necessary test and I had a look in all settings I can find without any succes until now.
I had 3 FW update since I own the device, each time I hope it will solve my probelm...
Thanks for your help.
Best regards from Belgium,
JC
Did you checked out if in Settings _Data Usage- not added to exceptions to sync only over WiFI ?

Thanks for your answer.
I checked and I can find any exceptions (I can't find the options, to be clear). Under the Data Usage, I have mobile data and Wifi pages but I don't find any way to manage exceptions.
There is a similar issue with the hotmail app - SSL auth error on 3G - Fine on Wi-Fi
The way to resolve that issue is to uninstall the app - remove any accounts associated to it (the hotmail sync account removed authomatically) reboot the phone - then set everything back up BUT DO SO ON 3G and not Wi-Fi!!! For some strange reason this sorts out the issue and can then connect on both 3G and Wi-Fi.
This is obviously specific to the hotmail app - but as this is also email it may also resolve your issue - Worth a shot at least. .Good Luck

Thanks for the info.
How can I uninstall the stock email app? I will try to clear my account but not uninstall the app and see if it solves my problem. I will try it tonight when I will be back in my country and not in roamuing anymore.
Thanks
I don't use the stock app at all - I guess you can remove the associated accounts under settings/accounts then go to app manager and clear cache and data.
My issue was due to a self signing certificate or something - guess that a hidden setting somewhere changes when you accept but wasn't working correctly when setting up accounts over Wi-Fi.
Hope it works for you. You not the option to get a specific mail provide app from the playstore? - Could be another option
I will let you know
I'm quite happy with the stock mail app for now. If I can solve my problem by reseting my account over 3G, I will keep it.

Any resolution on this? My wife is having the same problem on a new exchange account she added to her One X

I resolved this issue by:
- deleting the Exchange Active Sync eMail Account I set up over WiFi (Email->Settings->Delete Account);
- created an EAS Account over 3G, selected "Accept every SSL Certificate" (Email->Settings->Add Account).
It seems that creating an EAS Account over WiFi prevents the same account to access the server over 3G/EDGE/... connection.
Tried on Sony Xperia Tablet Z SGP321, default mail app, with Android 4.2.2.

Problem solved!
Hi,
I have also an Galaxy S5 Android and sinds we have Exchange 2010, it does not synchronize any more. If I put my phone on SAVE MODE, it doesn't work. If I DISABLE the SAVE MODE it works.
Go to Setting => Power saving => put Power saving mode OFF
good luck.

Gmail can't DL attachment on mobile data (but OK on VPN or Wifi!)

I've had this problem for many months on my Samsung S7 (it suddenly appeared). Now that I've bought an S10e I'm very displeased to have the same exact problem again. I didn't transfer anything from the S7 (knowingly. Perhaps some Google/Samsung auto-restoration of settings without my knowledge). The S10e was installed from scratch AFAIK.
Problem:
On the Gmail app downloading attachments on WiFi works fine. On mobile data it never works. It does nothing at all. Hitting preview continuously shows a 0% progress bar.
All other things work without issue on mobile data: Sending and receiving mail, browsing, navigation, YouTube, etc. is normal. Only Gmail attachments don't download...
I don't have adblockers or antivirus. Everything is updated. Gmail isn't on the background data restriction, nor do I use that function.
I tried the private DNS function, that didn't help either. Clearing the app cache and app data didn't help either.
+ VPN.
I spent some hours testing, and most of the time with an active OpenVPN tunnel (all traffic redirect through tunnel) to my home or to my office it works! The moment I disconnect the VPN, it stops working.
(Seems also to work on a LT2P Ipsec tunnel).
Some kind of DNS issues?
I have an older Motorola and an older Sony phone which don't show this problem, so it's not stemming from my Gmail account or my provider.
What can I try to fix this problem?
