I had to change my google password. No way to update it, so I deleted and now I can't create a new google account.
Of course the "google services and play" solution in the faq doesn't work. I can accept that chrome crashes 2 or 3 times any single day but this is another story:
I NEED TO ACCESS MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT!
Please administrators, do not reply before reading my post: the solution written in the faq
DOES NOT WORK.

Can you open Play Store? You should try to delete all its data and try to launch it. I know that once I logged in with Play Store, all other Google apps (Youtube, Chrome and so on) were using my account too.
-
Settings - More - Accounts - Find Google Account - Delete account.
Settings - More - Apps - Google Play services - Storage - MANAGE SPACE - CLEAR ALL DATA
Reboot.
Run Play Store app.
You should now be asked to add a new (or password changed) Google account.
If that doesn't work (it works here for me) then please explain more at what stage it doesn't work.
-
Thanks for replying, but this is the exact solution in the Faq that I wrote doesn't work.
I did it again (cleared ALL DATA), I rebooted and when I try to open play store the screen becomes all white and then i'm forced back to the home page. I can't enter my google password in any google app/service
I swear that if another himedia rep posts here to tell me to do the same thing or to make a factory reset... I'm asking Amazon a complete refund :)
-
Strange because the above definitely does work for me, I tried it whilst writing the post.
A catch-all solution is to reinstall firmware.
-
Every time I write here to solve a problem your company doesn't solve anything and it all ends with somebody like you saying "strange it works for me".
A-N-Y G-I-V-E-N T-I-M-E.
Next step will be you or another Futeko rep saying: "Well it must me your fault, did you install any app?"
and I will reply: "I did not install a single app except Gmail"
and you'll say: "Strange it must be your fault. Did you follow the above solution?".
Imagine a car dealer doing the same when you ask for assistance. Being polite isn't enough in CRM, sorry, you must solve problems exactly when they are "strange".

Listen dude I had a similar problem and eventually I had to bite the bullet and reinstall the factory firmware using the reset button in the back. Guess what it worked ;) No different than a PC that goes berserk! It's a 5 minute job on an android box so try it and you might be amazed...FYI Futeko doesn't work for Hi-Media...he's a reseller so he's just trying to help.

same for me
. Completely rebuild the whole mediaplayer ...

I am expierencing all kind of weird issues lately and this problem can be added to the list.
Just this afternoon I reinstalled (reset method etc.) the 2.0.6
It seems that I can access the PC again through the LAN button, however, now Youtube doesnt work anymore. It hangs as soon as I press play on an video and closses the app.
Plus, it is impossible to add my Google account. In account settings I can click Google add account and then the page stays all blank.
So, now I need to reinstall the firmware again, hoping this will also fix these issues?
I came from a XTreamer Prodigy box which was known for crappy firmware.
By now the Prodigy has fierce competition in this department.
Really don;t know what to do with this box anymore.

If you are unable to create the account after removing it, my suggestion is to do a factory data reset.
You will lose everything (settings, data, apps)
Go into Settings/Backup & Reset
Select factory data reset
After it restarts you should be able to create your google account
Topdude - I am guessing you may need to update the Youtube app in Playstore, given you do not have a google account, you will not be able to this (unless you side load it). First priority would be to fix the account issue then update YouTube.
-
I did the factory reset. I did the full reinstall of the firmware.
No luck in either case.
You are right about the youtube update. However, the latest version doesnt work. I use an older version which seems to work.
It remains impossible to create a google account.
-
What firmware version are you using?
For google account, try uninstalling the updates of the google play services in the settings/apk, this will allow you to open the google account page to insert account info. This bug was fixed in the latest firmware 2.08.
-
I'm on 2.0.6
2.0.8 is not an option for me, since the problems with subtitles seem to be persistent inn this version.
-
if you are on OFW v2.0.6 try this maybe helps
1 Backup, backup, backup all your sensitive data
2 Download 3798CV200_update7.0_googleplay(HiMedia_OFW_only).zip (http://www.mediafire.com/?ga7yg24w805361b)
3 Rename 3798CV200_update7.0_googleplay(HiMedia_OFW_only).zip to update.zip
4 Apply update from settings/upgrade/local upgrade/...
If Google Play services popup error do clear data.
-
Ok, this has helped. :)
First I did the update, then checked if the google play would work.
It didn't.
Then I did another return to factory settings and yes, finally, I was able to create the google account in settings/apps/account
Thanks for your help.
Hopefully, the Q10 will stay this way and I'm praying for a firmware update that fixes all issues without introducing new ones.
Cheers!
