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...
Not so long ago Google introduced amazing addition to Play Books - uploading your own epub and pdf files through http://play.google.com/books/uploads. However, I'm not from US and my Google Account isn't either assigned to US - I have access only to Android apps. However, when Google Music was not available in Poland, I managed to enable it on my account by logging in through US VPN, have full Google Play USA experience and enter music library. After turning off VPN, whole USA experience disappeared - music, books, movies etc. However, after entering https://play.google.com/music/, everything worked like with VPN in spite of having Polish IP. Since then I have ability to upload 20 000 music files, listen to them and use Google Music app on phone to stream. No music buying function - just uploading and listening.
Now it looks like a similar situation is with Play Books - I'm looking for a way to enable just uploading epub and pdf files without ability to buy books from Play Store. After reading about it, I immediately downloaded, installed and turned on Hotspot Shield as my VPN. Checked IP - it was US one, so I logged in to Google. And surprise - no Google Play USA experience, like then. Only apps. After manually typing http://play.google.com/books/uploads there is a note: "Sorry! Books on Google Play is not available in your country yet". I tried to create new account while being connected through VPN. It worked - I was even able to download Play Books to my Nexus 7 after pairing it with my new account (it was using Hotspot Shield too). However, after turning VPN off, my new USA account lost it's full Play Store - it showed me Polish one, with apps only. What's more, after enabling VPN again, there still were no USA Play Store.
My question is: is there an ability to enable Play Books on non-US account (for example like I did with Music) or just to enter full USA Play Store on my non-US account (for example to upload some pdf or epub and then watch if it'll work). I emphasize - I don't need ability to buy anything from Store, no matter whether it's free or not. Just uploading ebooks and reading them on my phone/tablet.
P.S. I've tried Market Enabler, Market Helper and VPNs on Nexus 7 to enter Google Play USA on my Polish account - nothing worked. As far as I know, Market enablers and other tweaks doesn't longer work. Second Google account worked for a while - that's how I downloaded Books app - but now it doesn't (still, it would be rather dumb to have two accounts - one normal and second for Books).
I second this.
I'd like to upload like 3 pdf to my account to read them on the go. I'd hate to use another reader for that.
thnaks Konpon96 for asking the question. we're in same situation here . i tried the same way like you did but no luck at all . can someone help us on this . thanks
Yeah , I tried E-mailing Google Customer Service about this but they replied and said Sorry they can't do anything about it . Which I highly doubt it , they should make it international access like those other services who can provide US content without VPN
what a waste . do we need to wait ?
hi all . i able to do it by creating new gmail address and using vpn client . i able to upload a few epub file to play books
The thing I'm curious about is why I cannot enter Google Play USA by VPN on my current account - previously it was available.

Not sure but I think Google is referring to the address you have registered with your credit card on your Google Play account.

I thought about it, but then I've had my credit card attached to Google Play... but if they're now looking on that, it may be possible to connect fake-emulated USA card - there were a site to do it, but I've forgotten it's name.

My wife, who never bind her credit card on Google Play, is able to upload pdf and epub files on the Google Books Reader just using a VPN.

Sadly those domiciliated in a country where the Play Store has not been deployed yet are far from living the promised Google experience.
I'm in the same boat as OP.
And this is also true only for my personal account where I previously enabled Google Music using proxy (year or two back). On my wife's account (GMusic not enabled) I can access Google Books web site and upload stuff without problems. I already tried changing data in the Wallet but to no avail. It's something else...
Bummer
For me it worked, using a VPN (www.getusvpn.com)
As we speak, I am uploading my book collection.

It has nothing to do with the VPN provider - I can also use this provider and it does not work. It seems they have activated an additional check and the result is somewhere stored in the user profile. If I logoff and go to play.google.com, then I have everything available - as soon as I login, I'm limited to apps...
So the big question is, what information is now additionally checked...

It works until you disconnect from VPN - after that, even if you uploaded some files, Books are still unavailable. I've created new Google Account while being connected with VPN and it fully works with USA Google Play - I managed to upload some books. Unfortunately, after disconnecting from VPN, non-US Store comes back - strange, cause that account was created "in USA". It looks like Books cannot be made available like Music, just through entering their library - they disappear as soon as you disconnect from VPN. It isn't handy way to hang around with being connected through VPN all the time. :/
Same issue here. Haven't managed to find a way past them.
I've tried removing payment details from Wallet, changing country in Accounts, and of course using a VPN (Tunnelbear). Still no go.
I really think they should at least let people use Books as a reader. I don't know but I feel people might be more inclined to start purchasing from the Books store when it's available in their country if they already have a vast majority of their pdfs/epubs available on said platform. I'm able to view my library (which consists of the Nexus 7 guidebook and some random book). Maybe they could shift the upload functionality to the "My Library"page instead, which should solve the troubles with have.
Side note, I was able to access Music without a VPN. I managed to upload my collection, but am unable to buy any Music off of the store.
Yeah I wish they made it like the Music, when you register, you can access it just fine.
:/
I have the exact same problem but i notice something, i created a new account using a VPN and if I use that account i can us the whole us playstore but if i change to my regular account its gone even thought i have the VPN activated.
how do they bing my account to my country?
Here what worked for me:
1) Create a new google account.
2) Via a US VPN sign in google books and upload your books.
3) On your phone open Play Books app and sing in as your second account. Your books should appear.
Restrict your phone to sync only Google Books from the second account.
anyone has the solution yet?
I have removed all location information in my account setting (gmail, google+, wallet, etc), but no luck
really would like to make this work
Hi,
Nook Tablet 16G rooted CM10.1.2/Android 4.2.2
Odd issue. Have two of these with different accounts. On one Google Play Books/Magazines Apps work fine. On the other Books fails to sync library (Quit / Retry) yet settings account shows books sync working. Also Magazines starts shows logging in dialog then the screen flashes and it loops back to logging in/flash/logging in / flash, stuck in a loop. Haven't tried market online access yet but I presume it will work fine since I can download and run apps from Play store.
Tried uninstalling/reinstalling both apps, no change. Moved both apps to sd, no change. clear both cache and data, no change.
Anyone run into this problem?
Thanks for any help.
Regards,
Kevin
New info.
On a whim I decided to add my account, which is working on the other tablet.
Using my account on the tablet in question (2 apps don't work) google books and magazines works!
Switching back to my son's account and the symptoms return.
So it's not the tablet or the app but the account?
It's odd because google play works fine (ie. download and install apps) using that account.
I need to go to the web based market and try logging in with the account in question to see how the web based interface works.
I'm wondering if it could be due to the account not having a registered form of payment?
Regards,
Kevin
So I have an odd issue with the Play Store. I have 2 Google accounts. The main one I use does not show my apps in the market, in fact it shows nothing. When I try to download any apps, I get error code 927. The only way I can download an app through that account is using the web page to push the file to my phone. I added my other Google account to my phone and can download any and every file with no problems (except my purchased apps on my main account). Any ideas on how to fix this? I have tried numerous ROMs and Android versions but I don't know what else to try.
I also have a Nexus 7 at home and it is having the same issue (927) on my main account as well.
EDIT: fixed it. Download Manager was being buggy. Force stop/clear cache/clear data in the app did the trick on both devices.
Hello,
I recently had a T-Mobile account transferred into my name. I also purchased a LG V30 at that time, and since then most google apps have not been working/syncing on my phone while using mobile data. I am unable to open the Google play store (just shows a blank white screen) and apps like Google Play Music open, but do not sync. YouTube is another app that does not work, however Gmail and Chrome work fine. When I am connected to WiFi everything works normally, and once I download apps not related to Google via WiFi they work on mobile data just fine. T-Mobile tech support and Google tech support both insist it is not an issue on their end and have been no help at all. Here are the troubleshooting steps I have taken so far:
- Put my SIM card into two brand new LG V30's and a T-mobile employee's person Samsung Note 8. The same issue occurred on all three devices.
- Put my SIM card into and iPhone, the Apple store functioned normally.
- Cleared the cache and data for Google play store app and Google services app, no change.
- Checked APN settings, proxy and port show "not set"
- Tried resetting the mobile network on the phone, the issue still occurred
- Tried setting up the phone without using a Google account, the issue still occurred which tells me the issue is related to my SIM card, not my Google account
- Checked the other phone number on my account, was able to open the Play Store normally and download apps on mobile data. This tells me the issue is strictly related to my phone number/SIM card and not an issue with the entire T-mobile account.
- Spoke with Google tech support who stated that Google apps cannot track or identify specific phone numbers to deny them from accessing the app
This issue is very frustrating as I cannot download apps unless I am connected to WiFi even though I have an unlimited data plan. I have tried everything I have been able to find online for people experiencing issues with the Play Store and nothing has worked. I feel like this has to be an issue with the way the account was set up when it was transferred into my name, but without even having a suggestion on what the error could be, I don't know how to help T-Mobile identify it.
