I am using android based Samsung’s
Galaxy Pop CDMA (SCH-I559) cell phone. I was eager to connect to internet to
access the Web on my cell phone. But, whenever I was accessing the web based
apps (Play store, gmail, etc) on my cell phone, it asked for a Gmail credentials.
I gave my Gmail credentials but it gave the error message “Can’t establish a
reliable data connection to the server”
On Web, I searched about this
problem. Results show the only solution is that “you need to reset the phone”. The
problem with resetting the phone is that, you lose all the data. I found the
solution in that you will not lose the data.
Firstly, I want to tell you, why
phone displays such error when you tried to use apps. When you start your
android phone first time then you need to configure the account with Gmail address.
If you ignore that configuration then you will get the above message when you
access the apps.
Note: I think,
this trick may work on all android phone
To rectify the problem, you just
access Youtube app from your android phone (But you need your Google
credential attached to Youtube.com account. For that, on computer you login on
Gmail and then on another tab open Youtube.com. You need to signin with Google
credentials). Now go to Youtube App and login with Google credentials.
After you have signed in via the
Youtube app, exit the Youtube app (without closing the app; by pressing the Home
button) and go to the main Android Settings menu. Then go to Accounts and sync.
In Accounts and sync, you will see email id that you used to login in Youtube
app; tap on that account. After the account has been brought up, check the
checkbox for Sync Contacts or Sync Gmail, this will synchronies Google account.
Now, you can tap on Gmail or Play
store app, it will automatically login in that app with Your Google account
details.
It is very important to configure
Google account, as per my experience. I have applied visible pattern to my cell
phone. My little cousin drawn tried a lot wrong pattern and the visible pattern
was trapped. I thought, I should have to update the phone’s firmware and I will
lose my all data. There is one option, “Forgot pattern?”, but it ask Google
credential but I thought it will not work because there is no data plan was
activated on phone. But I entered the Google credentials and that was accepted
and I got my phone’s desktop.
