[Q] Hangouts - Couldn't connect to the server - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everybody,
I am having some problems with hangouts on my Nexus 5 and also on google plus website so not sure what the problem is but I get an error when I am trying to access the app wich say it "couldn't connect to the server" and I tried to factory reset the phone removing and re-adding the account restarting the phone, I also deactivated both hangouts and google play services and tried to reinstall the apps but nothing seems to work.
The phone is not rooted and everything is standard as the Nexus 5 arrived.
Now what I did before this error appeared is that I added gmail to my google account, before I used just an email from another host so not sure if this has something to do with it?
I also created a new google account and hangouts worked with that account but still not with my real google account.
Anybody that have any solutions to my problem?

[Q] Unable to connect to Android Market

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...

[Q] Procedure for changing google account associated with phone

I've got a new phone, and both it and my old one show up on Google Play, with the tabs showing the respective apps installed.
The old one is rooted, and I want to let my son use it on his own GMail ID. I've no problem resetting it or loading a completely new ROM.
Is there a proper procedure for dissociating it from my GMail ID and adding it to his. I have a suspicion that if I just change the associated email address in the Google Play settings on the phone, it will still appear on my list of devices.
If his gmail account isn't connected to yours then a factory reset and then add his account and then it should disappear. This means all paid apps would have to be bought again. Idk if google saves the device in your list but you wont have access to it.

Thanks for that - I was wondering how to make sure its tab disappears from my google account - it sounds like it's not possible...

[Q] Problems with google services (hangouts, calendar, Chrome, login error nag)

Chrome fail with: "Unable to sign in"
Calendar, music widget and information about people doesn't sync.

i usually have to let google services update after flashing and then re-installing the apps from the store.
Did you get the issue resolved? I'm having the same issues on my toroplus, after updating to official 4.3, have tried reflashing back to 4.2, factory reset... but no joy here.
have also tried removing and re-adding my google account
possible cause and fix
I had a hunch that it was something to do with my account security settings
Go to your Google account on the web, click on Security on the left menu, and look at the "Connected applications and sites" section (click on "review permissions")
I had an epic number of entries in there - so I started revoking access for a lot of duplicates, including about a dozen entries for Android Login Service (the downside of repeatedly rooting & ROMing, i guess).
1 reboot of my phone later, was asked to re-enter my password, and...
problems gone bye-bye! everything is syncing again.
I hope this helps others.
After hours of no sleep Thank you dannydpx
Best thread ever
I've been freaking out about this for days ... thank you for the awesome tip. Removed 9 account instances and I'm back in business!

thanks, this worked great. i wasn't getting hangout convos or gmail. all sorted now. at least i know my fiance isn't ignoring me! :laugh:

			
				
Had a problem with goggle now on my Galaxy tab. Would crash out on starting. So I uninstalled google now, then reinstalled WITHOUT the latest google now update All worked fine! Applied the latest update, again crashing out.
So uninstalled and re-installed again as above, but without the latest update, all working !
had several duplicated entries from my Galaxy S3, and i have removed them all. Also i removed the one from my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013.
Nothing seems to correct the issue with Google Now. Everything else works just fine..
i fixed all accounts by removing them form the permissions in the security area. the only app that does not want to connect at all is Google hangouts. does anyone have any other idea?
Please?! thanks in advance

[Q] [SOLVED] Big problems with nearly all google services

Hi (i know that i posted this in general android, but some may not read that)
I just got a new phone (Xperia Z Ultra (yay!)), but whenever i try to login to my google account, the following happen.
The login works.
Hangouts fail with the following: "Couldnt sign in possible because theres a problem with google account permissions"
Chrome fail with: "Unable to sign in"
Calendar, music widget and information about people doesn't sync.
Google Now fails: "Network error"
Google+ fails: Could not connect to server
Google Play Games just close when opening.
and i keep having a yellow triangle in my notification shade: "Login error for --email--"
I have tried both stock, CM and PA.
I would be really really grateful if someone could come up with a fix!
Thanks
If it doesn't work on Stock, CM and PA, there's clearly something going on with your account. Did you change some account settings that you can't remember? Did you change your password after you logged in on your Ultra?
I didn't change the password.
And i'm pretty sure no google settings where changed.
I worked fine when i set the device up for the first time yesterday.
But yesterday evening i flashed PA and logged in, and nothing has been working since.
I have already tried removing my 2 factor authenticator, resetting the device and then logging in again. Also did the same just changing my password instead.
Also on PA and CM i tried a couple of different google apps
and i tried logging in on both wifi and 4G
Try this.
Still has the sync error :-S
To make things even worse, i just tried logging in with my second google account, and everything sync and works just fine
Huh.. It's pretty clear that you're not the first one to have this problem (according to Google search), but I have no idea what's going on. It could be a fluke on Google's servers, so wait until tomorrow or later today and try again.

Make sure your system time and DATE are correct. That should fix it.

Thanks for all the help guys, iv'e contacted google and made a case.
Because everything except gmail has stopped working for me.
I'm unable to sign into chrome on my computer, Google Drive stopped syncing, i can't sign into Feedly (uses google authentication) and so on...
So wish me luck!
EDIT: YES! i just fixed everything, i just revoked every single thing under "Connected Sites, Apps, and Services"

Cannot create additional accounts on S6 Edge

I have just received my S6 edge. No scratches. Everything running uber smooth.
I launched the phone, linked it to my main google account. All apps and data synced.
But now, I am not able to add another google, nor email account.
When I try this and fill in my credentials of the to be added account, the phone mentions that 'email has stopped working' or 'google services have stopped working'.
I have installed the latest updates;
Rebooted the phone;
Tried via the email app as well to add accounts.
Any suggestions what might solve this?
Got it to work by resetting the phone and not including google stuff to the apps that were transferred from my old phone.
Thanks.
