Android – Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server.

Extended message: “This could be a temporary problem or your sim card may not be provisioned for data services”.

Cause: You didn’t setup a google account when you first switched on the phone.

Solution: Reset the phone to factory default and once it boots back up go through the setup procedure (choose language, skip the input demo, add google account).

How to do a Reset: Press the house (home) – Settings – Security and scroll down to Factory data reset – Follow the procedure…

WARNING: You will lose all the data on the phone when you do a reset

  1. I've been using my phone for 2 months now, and have no many apps and contacts a factory reset is not a valid solution. There has to be a better way.

  2. Besides, many of us don't have an internet connection when we do a hard reset (aka. we have to input the apn manually).

  3. ‘What do you do next if the factory reset doesn’t work (and I don’t have the Youtube app)? Thanks
