phone unable to connect to Google - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Having a problem with my GS 3 for the past few days. Whenever i try signing in to a google account this message will show
{

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

it seems something is blocking my phone from accessing google's server. but i can access google search from the web browser
i've tried all solutions i can think of including restarting, clearing cache and dalvik, switching from wifi to data and vice versa. but its still showing the same message. i even removed my google account and try adding it back but the same message show, so now my phone don't have a google account connected to it, it's like totally being denied from google's services

What about trying a different account (I don't see it listed)? Or just call them

Have you checked your apn settings?

i don't have a different account. even if i do create a new 1, all my contacts, apps will be lost because i sync-ed it to my usual account. anyway i tried creating a new 1, same problem, it seems something is blocking my connection to google

in the phone? i'm not aware of the steps. how do i do that?
BTW this phone have been with me since last year, everything is going fine. i only have this problem from last week, not sure what messed up
the starting problem is a NO CONNECTION error to the playstore., so i tried solving it by clearing cache from playstore, force stopping it, and even reinstalling it but still the same. so in the end i tried removing my google account and adding it back.....and here comes this problem

Settings/more settings/networks/apn.......check them against your provider settings......you can get those online or phone provider, alternatively contact Google, it might be their problem

will check them out
i don't think it's google's problem, i have friends with the same phone with me, living in the same country and they can access google services with no problem

Try clearing play store data and Google services framework data and try logging in to play again, reboot first though

already tried all those steps before i decided to remove my google account and re-adding it.
i've checked my APN as well, nothing is wrong there. infact if the APN is the culprit i wouldn't be able to connect if im running on mobile network only, but now even on wifi i'm not able to connect

I would contact Google, might just be a glitch on your account?

it's obvious something is messed up in the phone now

PROBLEM SOLVED. i tried flashing back the same firmware file to my phone using odin, now it's connecting back to google. so the problem is obviously some systems files being messed up
feeling relieved now, i was thinking if this solution failed i would have to use nandroid restore

It started yesterday and went so bad that i had to turn data off.

this is getting annoying, just flashed lpD from scratch and yet again its happening again, what the hell is downloading here
Use other network monitoring apps like 3g watchdog and check the showing informations is correct.
also you can check with your Network provider, whether this truely happens or not.
Are you allowing google to sync your account? It may be downloading all your apps in the background (Or updating them)
I never tick any of the options after flashing/when setting the phone up...no background downloads
If it was me, I would be paranoid and think that somebody was hacking into my phone

err...why?
Sounds like your Play store updating your apps in the background. Put data or wifi on and open play store, press menu key and go to 'my apps'. If they're downloading click on the 'x' on the top right of the screen to 'stop all'.
You can also check settings --> Data Usage to see whats eating your data, its a feature of ICS
by the way how many apps u got????
what does the built in data usage app reports?? if the problem persists still after a full wipe then it may be (may be) a malware. so if you are sure its not because of sync or some other app then you can try formatting data,system along with your internal sd and external sd from cwm before flashing a new rom.
i agree with everyoen above. it might be google just syncing information
Ok here what happens, when ever I flash a new stock ROM after wipe, right after I log in using google, it start happening.
No its not my apps
As you can see its not play store either.
I checked it multiple times now.
Exact 90MB got downloaded every time.

Ok I'm trying it again, will full wipe, remove sdcard, flash using Odin, lets see what happens
No nothing changed, removed sdcard, full wiped, flash new lpd using Odin.
Right after I sign in though I have UN tick the auto restore option, it started and right nite its at 40 mb, it will stop at 90mb.
I'm assuming something got backup to google and now every time I sign in, it comes back like the contacts.
Is there any way I know what and where its storing the filles.
Does any one know a way to wipe google account from their servers, like the screen shot.
This is wiping some stuff not all, as after signing in, I don't get my last apps or stored passwords anymore but that 90mb still comes.

Restoring system apps and data can lead to problems, well known, hence that might be the reason why it is not working. Did you try to clear cache, app data etc?

As a last ditch effort.. Clear data from play store and Google framework services.. Restart your device and then add your Google account again.. If this doesn't work then do a full wipe and flash your Roms.. If this also fails then there is a problem with your network/mobile operator..

Lost contacts in factory reset

I did a factory reset to my Samsung Galaxy S II (GT-I1900) as I was facing some performance issues. Unfortunately, did not take a backup & lost all my contacts (almost 1100). Now the issue is that I'm left without any contacts in my phone. Can someone please help me recovering lost contacts?
Few details -
The device is rooted & running on Cynogenmod 10.1.3
Tried almost every data recovery software available on the internet
Have an idea of querying the android contacts database using adb, but require some help with this.
Any assistance would help a lot.
Thanks!

you've introduced an google account at the first boot of the rom ?
if so retype that account and you'll have back your contacts as cm roms get all the contacts from your google account data base

Thanks for your response. I tried syncing back from Google but it synced only those contacts (only email addresses) of people whom I've communicated over Gmail. No relevant contacts were recovered.

Found this via a google search, try giving it a shot and see if it works. Otherwise there are other results and YouTube videos. One of those should point you in the right direction.

Though it would help anyone who would want to try and help if you provided some more information on the nature of the issue and phone.
For example knowing the disposition of the phone (how you got it, is it a demo/retail/company provided/etc), what kind of phone it is (snapdragon, exynos), model of the phone and how MDM was (or would have been) activated on the phone. MDM isn't there for no reason, and it would seem (reading what little I did on those Google Searches) the solutions would kinda seem too tailor towards the reason:
For example:
You work for a company (or of your own accord) that installed Mobile Device Management profiles
This is a demo unit from a store
You installed an application that configured MDM
You may have tried installing firmware (official, custom, unofficial, etc)
well i think im gonna keep using it as demo there is no help any where .exept the 120 usd to drop the file for parmanent remove of that demo .

Hi there. I had the same issue on my samsung Note 10.1 2014 edition I purchased as a demo unit. tried flashing stock ROM using ODIN with no effect and unable to factory reset. finally, this was how I was able to factory reset by tablet with all the retail settings including all the preinstalled videos and images gone.
1. Firstly, your device should be signed into your google account.
2.Enable find my phone in settings
3.Go to your google account (in the same device or different device).
4.Go to devices and select lost device
5.press "consider erasing" device
And Voila, the tablet was reset to stock android with no retail apps or data.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks

Interesting
But I doubt this flaw will work on latest devices note 8, j7 pro,. Just to mention two of the devices I have got.
Also some MDM implementations will not allow you to enter settings menu.

Poco F1 After 11.0.9 update(Not MiUi12) dialer not opening.

Apologies guys as this may be a very small problem with very small solution but somehow I spent over an hour trying to make it work but I couldn't. This phone is on stock MiUi and even the bootloader is not unlocked. Elaboration:
1. Before update dialer functioned okay, I had restricted maybe one or two permissions like Location but still it worked.
2. After Update I got to know google had my location history 'on' so being a privacy freak I turned it 'off' (I know they can still get the location, but atleast not where I was 6months ago now).
3. I didn't find any other issue post update but I hadn't tried to open dialer yet;
When I tried it said required permission has been not allowed and it just wouldn't open. Sms app worked fine, contacts and dialer didn't.
4. Them I tried giving the 'contacts & dialer' app all the permissions it required via the settings ->apps-> Contacts & dialers -> permissions, including the location which is I haven't allowed on my other Poco F1(yes I have 3 at home, all purchased before COVID time) and the same update was already on that phone and it works fine.
For now I have a third party dialer app installed which does the work, it would be very helpful if someone could help me getting the original dialer to work. And yes I know Mi sucks with things like this and bloatware I might install Lineage or something in months to come but this belongs to my father he might not want his phone to be unable to operate banking apps and wallets so on hold for now.
Thanks already guys.
Not sure but try to clear all data of the "contacts and dialer" app first (Settings -> apps -> manage apps -> contacts and dialer).
If it doesn't work then I suggest you re-download the latest update and install it again. (Settings -> about phone -> system update -> the three dots menu -> download latest package).

Go to "menage apps" -> "phone services" and force stop it. Then Open "storage" and clear the data.. Then do the same in "call manager" (i think thats the name in inglish). The 2 apps haver a phone símbolo. Then restart you Poco F1. Turn it completly off and turn ir on again.
Worked with me..
You have disabled a required permission. Tried what both of you suggested above except for reinstalling the update. Not resolved

Didn't work, but I'm a little sceptical about download latest package and installing, never done it before so. I tried the other solution you have but didn't solve the problem.

First of all downloading the latest package is just the same as installing a normal update, no difference at all.
Second, I think to avoid all this hassle; you might need to do factory default/factory reset.. But of course before doing that you have to write down all your accounts login data (especially Mi account and Google account) and also backing up your personal data (photos, docs, music, videos downloads,...etc.) as it will be deleted when you do this factory reset.. But this will eventually solve all these problems.

I was hoping to avoid Factory Reset, and all the efforts and time associated with doing it but I'm being sure by the days that pass, of there being no other alternative for me. I'm so fed up of Xiaomi after this. Once a stable Lineage or PE comes after MiUi 12 upgrade I'll lose no time to this. Also out of 4 phones in my home 3 are Poco F1 and the last one was Lenovo zuk till Feb and Vivo since, but non Mi phone doesn't get as many ads on YT and Instagram (virtually none on insta when I get one ad every 10-15posts, despite of having not allowed similar permission to Mi during setting up of my phone).
So I spent good time backing up and reloading after factory reset. The problem is solved costing me alot of time and effort for backup and stuff.
So basically problem solved by a factory reset.
