Exactly the same thing is happening to me, on the same phone model. Any ideas anyone?

As someone posted in another thread.

I had the same problem and fixed it by changing the Calendar server address from "apidata.googleusercontent.com" to "www.google.com"

It worked for me

Basically, for my phone, turning OFF WIFI fix it. I was able to create the Google mail account without problems.
