I have rooted my fire, sucessfully installed the market, gmail app and youtube however I am unable to connect my gmail account to any of them. During the initial login process of signing into my account. I keep getting this error that says "Cant establish a reliable data connection to the server". It does it with all 3 of those apps. I know my wifi is working as im able to access the internet. Im wondering if maybe i need to reinstall the google services framework or something?
Have any of you seen this and been able to work around it? Im able to run all apps except google ones.
Thanks
okay i figured it out, had to install the syncsettings, turn off background data, restarted, then reinstalled googleframework, restarted, turned background data back on. then it let me sign in.
weird!!
Anyone have other tips for dealing with this issue on a wifi-only Kindle? Nothing I've tried has worked. There's a so-called YouTube hack, but I don't even know what version of YouTube to install that might work to let me setup my Google account without going through the same interface that the Play Store uses. Thanks
I am not exactly sure when this started happening but lately I cannot get any app to authorize my account on facebook. For example, I installed sycn.me and when I try to use it, it asks me to login and after logging in, I get a prompt with all the permission details and there is OK and Cancel button but I cannot click on either one. I tried disabling the Facebook app but even the web popup has same issue. I have tried several different apps that rely on facebook permissions and all have same issue with the popup. The apps that have already been authorized, work without an issue. So I don't think that it's an issue with authorization but the authorization detail popup.
Does anybody has any solution for this?
Hello all,
Has anyone been able to get apps from multiple regions working on their Fire TV? I have been able to change locations and download apps but when I switch between regions (by deactivating my account and activating a new one), all apps fail saying 'App Not Owned' and they quit.
If I leave the 'App Not Owned' dialog up long enough, it changes to 'Authorization Expired - The time to authorize the user has expired' so I'm assuming Amazon is checking the titles against the logged-in user account.
I tried to install the app as one user, then pull the APK from the device using adb and then sideload the APK once I changed regions and was logged in as a different user. That didn't help.
Currently, I have it working so that I just deactivate and reactivate my accounts and the apps stay in place without losing my settings. Just a bit of a pain in the butt when I want to switch from ESPN (US) to Zattoo (Germany) or similar.

Does anyone have any thoughts as to how to get this working? I have multiple Fires (including rooted ones) that I can use to test.
Thanks,
Greg
HI,
I have just one account (US account) but I'm in Ireland. I'm using a Smart DNS. I have downloaded Apss to the cloud on amazon.com by changing my device country settings which I think you've done and works fine.
e.g. US account, downloaded TVplayer (UK App), works fine and US Netflix account etc also work. I am not switching my accounts on the Fire TV. Maybe it's the smart DNS is the difference.

The apps get your location from the IP address. You didn't mention anything about changing that, so that is why it's not working for you.
No, I have a Smart DNS provider and have no problems getting apps from any region to work. It's just that in order to use apps from multiple regions (WatchESPN from the Amazon US store and BBC iPlayer from the UK store), I have to log out of my Amazon account and into a different account.
Was just hoping to find some way to have these apps on the same homescreen and be able to use them without changing accounts. My Fire TV is rooted if that helps.
After having it for a day, my Pixel C is already getting replaced under warranty.
Whenever I try to make a purchase of a paid app on it, I just get an error message "Error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-7:AEC-0]". Purchases work fine on my Nexus6P so the issue seems specific to the tablet. Downloading updates, pre-purchased apps or new Free apps works fine, error only happens when trying to make a purchase.
Have tried all the troubleshooting steps I can find online, clearing data from Play Store and Google Framework Services, no effect. Have removed my Google account from the device, rebooted and then re-added the account, no effect. Done a complete factory reset but still the same issue when I go to the Play Store and try to make a purchase of any paid for app.
I had several payment methods on my account, one of which was expired, but I've removed that and still the same error. I've got over £11 of credit on my Google account anyway and was only trying to purchase something that costs less than £3, so payment cards shouldn't have come into it.
Contacted Google Support and they called me back, said they're going to send a link for me to order a brand new device and instructions on returning the old one.
On the one hand, it doesn't seem like something that would be caused by a hardware issue. But on the other hand, it doesn't seem like an account issue since it's specific to just this one device. Looking around it seems this is a relatively common error, but just removing and re-adding the Google Account should normally fix it.
I'm not running a custom ROM or anything, not even rooted, just running the tablet as it comes (with updates installed)
I've not had any issues like that on either of my Pixel Cs (replaced one under warranty due to the lockscreen pattern bug) so I'd imagine a replacement should sort your issue.
Very strange though... Fingers crossed it gets sorted for you.
Someone has mentioned to me that it could be an issue with the hardware storage of the root certificates that's the problem, which makes sense since the error occurs after the Permissions prompt, at the stage where the Play Store attempts to access the payment information on my account.
Received my replacement Pixel C and still got exactly the same issue.
Whenever I try to purchase an app that costs money, I get an error,
"Error while retrieving information from server.
[RPC:S-7:AEC-0 ELVS-P3QO-E625O]"
(Everything after the AEC-0 is different every time)
This is immediately after turning on the tablet for the very first time and going through the setup process.
Worried that something is wrong with my Google account and that I'm going to have exactly the same issue even if I return it and got a different tablet. But it still works fine on my 6P phone is the thing.
1. In our Android terminal, we go to the Settings
2. Then to Applications
3. Here locate the following FRAMEWORK OF GOOGLE SERVICES:
4. We select Google Services Framework, stop the service, and then delete the data.
5. Then, we locate the service also Google Play, and do the same operation, stop and delete data.
6. After doing this with the two services, reniciamos our Android terminal and will try to download an application from Google Play, we see that already operate normally. Disculpame by Google translation.

Did all that on a call from a Google troubleshooter, but still the same error.
Definitely looking to be an issue with my account from some further testing though.
Just created a new account and added my card as a payment method. Tried to make a purchase and it goes through fine.
The only difference with my regular account and the new account is that my regular account has some Google Play Store credit on it from the Opinion Rewards app, and has a fair few devices registered against it.
I'm wondering if it's possible that my account just has 'too many' devices against it, but I can't see any way to actually remove an old device from my account (My old S3 phone seems to be on there 3 times and I now have two Pixel C tablets registered against it)
Removed the new account from the tablet and re-added my original account. If I go to the "My Account" section of the Play Store on the tablet, I get the same error message when it tries to retrieve/display my payment methods. But again, only with my primary account on a new device. My old devices that were already registered can do this no problem. So the issue seems to be that new devices aren't correctly registering against my account, or something along those lines.

I can see my current devices on there, but not the older ones. But I can see the older ones on my Play Store devices list strangely enough.
The device I'm having trouble with is listed on there and doesn't state as having any problems.
I had another callback from Google and the issue is being escalated, so we'll see how it goes.
El goog don't advertise this, and might be reticent at first, but you can get them to delete all your devices (not the same as you account) from 'registered' and then you begin again. Usually you only have a number (4?) you may disconnect every year from the total of 10 (I think).
In your case, I've no doubt they'll do it.
Had this problem too on my Sony Android TV. In my case the problem was a voucher code (and trying to pay with it, paying normally worked fine), I've activated over the chromecast offers page. The google support wasn't able to delete it, but the unredeemable voucher disappeared after a few months.
Hm, will see if I can get Google to remove some devices from my account. There's 8 showing on there at the moment when I go to Settings on the Google Play Web store, 4 of which need to be removed (3 old phones and the first Pixel C tablet), though these don't appear in the Android Device Manager.
I'm also wondering if the issue lies with the Google Credit I have on my account, all of which was earned through the Opinion Rewards app. I'm tempted to try just spending all of it via another device to clear it from the account and see if that sorts things. Even if it doesn't it's only about £8 worth, and it's not like I paid anything for it.
Cracked it.
It was something weird with my account, but also something I could fix.
I downloaded the Firefox browser onto my Pixel C and accessed the Play Store webpage through there, going to the My Account section where my Payment Methods are listed. I noticed that there's a payment method for my mobile carrier that I set up on my old Sony Z2, but was also available on my Nexus 6P. I removed that payment method, then on the Pixel I cleared the Data/Cache for Google Play Framework and Google Play Store apps, then restarted. After that, my Pixel C Play Store app can now access my payment information and make purchases.
No idea if it was removing the carrier payment method that did it since that method was causing some kind of conflict on a non 3G tablet, or if it was accessing the Play Store via a third party browser app which kicked some kind of authentication into gear.
Either way, a very weird issue thankfully solved! I've responded to my Google Support ticket with the update as well, so hopefully they can become aware of a possible issue.
I have the unlocked model LG-G820QM running Android 10 software version G820QM20a.
I'm using the Google Phone Dialer app instead of the default phone app. It works perfectly fine and can be set as the default app. However it is disabled every time the phone boots. I'll see it on the screen for a second and then it's gone. I have to go back into the play store to enable it, add it to my home screen, and reset it as default every time.
Has anyone else experienced this or know of anything I can do to stop this from happening?
Hmm... wonder if adb disabling the LG phone app (com.android.phone, or maybe there's a more specific package for this?), then installing the Google Phone app would work. Disabling the LG app may cause some pages in About device to not load (i.e. Network information), but it's easy to re-enable, so if anything goes wrong you can go back.

Thank you sk8223, I gave that a shot.
I used Application Inspector to track down the stock phone app name and then ran this command.
Code:
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.android.phone
While that did stop the Google phone app (com.google.android.dialer) from disabling at boot, it broke phone functionality. I kept getting a pop up that com.android.phone keeps stopping. Trying to use the Google phone/dialer app wouldn't connect. It would let me enter the number, but then clicking the call button just caused it to reset.
I also tried disabling the stock Contacts app com.android.contacts, and that didn't solve anything. I tried combinations of both stock phone and contacts disabled. One of each. And the same with the Google equivalents.
You're probably right about there being some link in the chain that I can disable to solve this, but it seems there are quite a few dependencies baked in to the phone applications, that I'm not sure which service I could disable to let the Google app work without the actual phone functionality breaking.
Interestingly enough I couldn't re-enable either the Google Phone or Contacts app from adb after reboot. However I could navigate to them in the Play Store and click enable there. Then checking the disabled apps list in adb showed they were no longer there.
That's weird, you should have been able to adb pm enable the apps again without issue. I think LG's heavy skin over Android is affecting the way the app is supposed to work. Probably because the stock LG Phone app is labelled com.android.phone when it really should be com.lg.phone... which is probably why upon reboot the phone app keeps reverting back. Stupid LG. Wish a safe BL unlock was possible so we can get a nice AOSP ROM on the G8 already
tl;dr don't think this can be fixed because of LG
