How to Issues With Google Playstore

WARNING: YOU MAY LOSE ALL YOUR DATA BY DOING THIS.

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

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
Download and Install Total Commander 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)
Tap mount R/W
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.(Not Necessary, Go to Next Step. But if the problem persist do Factory Reset..) Got it on Recovery Mode, Factory Data Reset, wipe data.
7. Reboot your device.
8. Once the phone reboots, input your google account information when the phone asks for it.
9.- 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:

#74.125.93.113(just one space)android.clients.google.com

SAVE IT and Reboot.
Now you can connect to Google Play very well.


If above method fail to connect you properly or have some issue on wireless connection, revert the host file to its original state
and install this app on playstore: Link Here

run app and choose your prefer edit.

Another Way Playstore not working after Installing/Uninstalling Freedom App?

- Go to Root Explorer and Mount R/W then delete Hosts file under system/etc/
- Reboot
- Shutdown & Boot to Recovery
- Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
- Reboot
- Presto! back to normal.

Edit:
Removed Attached Files you may download it on Google Playstore.

Total Commander: Here

Root Explorer: Here

Note: You may use your favorite File Manager as long as it can browse up to the root of your Phone..

Download Other File Managers:
Root Browser: Here
ES Explorer : Here

Note: If ABOVE method doesn't work for you... reflash rom would be your final choice!

New Gmail Total Makeover

Gmail is rolling out the biggest makeover since 2011! Asides from the mild design change: You also get a couple of cool features. One of my favorites is: Confidential mode Personally, this is the biggest addition so far! The new Gmail now sports a confidential mode that makes it possible to set an expiry date on emails or better still make them disappear! Now, if you have something sensitive you plan on sending in an email but are also worried about it surfacing 20 years from now, well, you can click on the lock icon at the bottom of an email to turn on Confidential mode. Did I mention that this feature also prevents people from copying, forwarding, downloading and printing the emails you send them? Google Apps Integration Another addition is the ability to access Google apps— like Calendar— from the side panel of the web version Snooze that email! This little feature would let you archive, delete, mark as unread or snooze an email by just hovering over them Reminders

Follow-up acts are always hard, especially when the first product was a runaway hit beyond initial expectations, but the company is opting to tackle a problem that will appeal to many, staying powered on the go. River Bank — today’s new addition — takes the concept of the portable mobile phone charger and super-sizes it with a power bank that can handle phones, laptops, cameras and even jump-start a car. Two of the main issues with regular mobile power banks are the days-long battery life between in each charge and that they can’t be taken on planes. While I’m not sure I  need  The River Bank, the fact it holds its charge for a year, covers more than just phones, and can be taken on planes — that stands out from the competition and makes it pretty da
