hi.
when I try to access the android market it tries to sign in to my google account, but then fails and says that it couldn't create a secure connection to my servers. is this because I am using wi-fi, and to get around this do I have to use my 3g connection.
thanks

Hi Brody,

welcome to AndroidPIT!

That could be a solution to switch to 3G. Sometimes Google is a little buggy...

Brody, wifi should work better than 3g.

- Do you have an active Google account?
- Are you signed in?
- double check your settings and ensure that the google sign in settings are properly in place. (settings - accounts and sync)

Yes, my Google account is active, and I can access my emails etc from my phone, but I can't add my phone to it, so I can't download anything from the market.

Very strange! If you are able to access email, must be logged into your Google account. Do you have Google Play. installed on phone? Have you been able to download anything? What phone do you have with what software? What carrier?

No, I don't have Google Play installed, my phone is a Huawei Ideos X1, OS 2.2, my provider is Optus, but because I am using Wi-Fi it shouldn't be a problem with them. I can download files off most websites, but not android market or Google play.

Ehm, you have no Play Store.... do you have the Market? Otherwise it would be no wonder, that you can´t login... :wink:

So, your initial problem was, that you can´t establish a secure connection. If it´s still the problem, try one of the following solutions:

  • Do not sychnonize date and time thru the network automatically, take alook that you have the right Timezone (Eastern-, Central-, Western-Standard)
  • Menu->Settings->Date and Time->Automatic (has to be deactivated)
  • Change from WiFi to 3G and back and try again. Maybe a reboot of your phone may nessecary
  • Logout and login into GTalk
  • Delete Data and Cache of the Market/Play Store

Hello,

I had problem to sign into Google account on my Android OS @ first start of my recovered mobile (SE Xperia X10 mini pro). I had enabled double authentication for my account. Probably this is why I couldn't log in...
So solution which worked for me is: I went to https: // google. sk/ accounts - there are spaces, coz I am new user and forum would not allow me to post links due to spam. (this said login screen when it said bad username or password... it said for recover your account go there... I went. But I was sure my password was absolutely correct)
I added additional email address (address of another registration example: outlook.com). After this I was able to log on with my additional email address to my google account.
So I recover my amdroid to factory settings again and then I used my alternative log in. And it worked! I was so happy, coz I went through 2 hours troubleshooting about my wifi, 3g, another google accounts... and so on :P

So I hope it will help some1 with same problem.

If you can't sign in, please select the issue that applies to you below. This troubleshooter will guide you through 2-5 questions, depending on the options you select.
1: I forgot my password
2: I think someone else is using my account
3: I forgot my username
4: I know my username and password, but I can't sign in
5: I can't reset my password via SMS
6: I use a Google Apps account
7: I'm having trouble with 2-step verification

Do you use Gmail with this account?
1: Yes
2: No

Google can send you a text message if you ever forget your password..

It happened a few times with me when my HTC got stuck and I took out the battery and reinserted. This resets the date and time which inturn affects google play, and it gives all sorts of errors.

Been having trouble signing on GTalk (and most other apps) on my phone over my home wi-fi for a couple days and could NOT for the life of me figure it out!
So. Did a search for the problem and stumbled on this nifty forums ... and even more nifty post!
The post reminded me that the clocks were going back this weekend in Europe (but not North America) and that, even if after nearly 3 years with this phone I had never noticed any trouble, it could, maybe, confuse the system.

Anywho! I followed these steps and it fixed my issue!
So I had to sign in to this forum to convey my thanks! :D

Since lunchtime today I would most like to throw my Note 2 out of the window!

I flash new ROMs and regular lunchtime today I once again flashed a 4.3.1 rom (carbon).

I could suddenly no longer in the G+ app, because it meant I would not be logged.

With Hangouts, it goes one step further.

It says there is a problem with the permissions ...

Well, test times installs the new 4.4 Rom, only  WLAN and added the Google account, same problem, so it is not on an application ...

Just what is it? Has / had someone the same before?

Thanks for any advice!

Oh yes: on my nexus 7 2013 with the same account: nothing, everything works without problems!

@hiruy friend i think you have to reset your password of your google accounts and signup on the app store by new username. Maybe, you will get success.

Hi, You should be sure about the internet connection n your phone. May be your phone does not have internet driver on your phone or your phone is not connect with wi-fi.

Couple of tricks that might help:

  • Try switching between network - wifi and mobile data
  • Turning Airplane Mode on and then back off sometimes fixes the problem
  • The date/time fix already posted
  • Clear Play Store app cache
  • Log into the Play Store on your computer, change your password, try to sync on your phone and reenter password when requested (a long shot but has worked before too)
  • Delete your whole Google account from your phone and add it again

Hi, I have a galaxy note 3 that I have factory resetted multiple times, even wiped the data and reset using the volume up button + home button + power button, but to no avail.

I try to login to play store, youtube, or any google account but it still says that "it cant establish a liable connection to the server."
Even if I try to create a new account with whatever combination of usernames you can think of, it just says "the user name ________ isn't available."

What do I do??

Hello.

I can't sign in to my google.play android market. I checked the time zone. I also checked if my wifi is working fine on my phone. I can also sign in to Google play and browse other webs on my mobile using browser and chrome but cannot sign in to play. Gives that same "Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server" I also tried factory-reset.

Looking forward to your help guys. :)

You are probably signed in with more than one account. You need to click on play store in the play store. Is there an arrow by the email? Click it and see if you can choose the other sign in. It should prompt you to update password. Should be good after that. You can choose either email that way in the play store.
