Problems with syncing to Google
I bought my phone two days ago and ever since activation, I've been unable to sync up with my Google account. I left the store thinking it was only a temporary network problem, which it may be, because the LTE network is still pretty new.
Every time I try, I get a message saying "Cannot establish a reliable data connection to the server." As a result, my old contacts and such cannot be transferred and new ones cannot be backed up properly.
I've searched the issue, and I haven't found anything pointing to anyone with a Thunderbolt sharing my problem. A lot of people with the HTC Desire had similar issues, however theirs were resolved through factory resetting or other means.
I went back to the store yesterday, spent about two hours sitting around while they swapped out my sim card, went through the activation process again, reset my phone several times, and called tech-support twice but there was really no definitive answer for my blight.
They eventually came to the conclusion that the issue lies with Google. I was told that the LTE network isn't communicating properly with Google servers. That being the case, I thought that trying to sync my Google account through WiFi or using the internet pass-through feature would work around it., but that didn't work.
The only thing that strikes me as odd is that, so far, I seem to be the only one dealing with this issue on the Thunderbolt. I wanted to know if any of you are dealing w/ the same stuff and/or know if what I was told is true? I would think, if what they said is true, that it would effect everybody with the Thunderbolt. Any thoughts?
Apologies for the length of this post. Thanks in advance
