Issues:
- Account sync OFF permanently with the message: "Sync is currently experiencing problems".
- Signing in Google Apps fails showing message: "Can't establish a reliable connection to the server"
Possible Cause:
- system file named 'hosts' (/etc/hosts) points to a Google server that changed IP, thus blocking access to Apps.
Possible Solution:
- edit 'hosts' file (/etc/hosts) deleting or commenting (adding a # at the beginning) the old line
I have a Samsung Galaxy S AnyCall M110S with GFAN WF07 SP 8 XDA Version i tested it and it worked...
It may be work on any android device.
Please do it at your own risk.
How to do it:
METHOD 1
1.- Root your device (of course)
2.- Editing the file
You will need a proper editor
On your device open your browser and go to: www.ghisler.com/android.htm
Download and Install Total Commander for Android... and open it
OR DOWNLOAD BELOW
3.- Browse with Total Commander to root/etc
(hint: on the right side of the screen there's a shortcut to system folder.. look for etc/ and you will find it)
Long tap on "hosts" > edit file > Totalcmd-Editor
Open etc/hosts and edit the file. Just put # before 74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com.
4.- SAVED
Edited file should look like this:
127.0.0.1 localhost
#74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
remember: based on my own observation it should be look like this:
127.0.0.1(just one space)localhost
#74.125.93.113(just one space)android.clients.google.com
5.- Turn OFF your device.
6.- Got it on Recovery Mode
7.- Factory reset, wipe data.
8. Reboot your device.
9. Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.
10.- Sync to your account and contacts
METHOD 2:
1. Make sure you have a ROOT ACCESS on your Device.
2. Install Root Explorer, Run App, Grant SU Access.
3. Browse root / etc... at the top of your screen you will see mount R/O and mount R/W...
4.Tap mount R/W
5.Look for host file, long press it and open with text editor.
6. just Add # (pound sign) on the first number.
like this:
