I installed skype on xoom and it will never login to my account. I have the wifi version and when I try to login I get mesage can't login invalid password try again. I have no problem logging in on my desktop or my IPod.
running it on mine right now, i had trouble logging in initially. I would enter my username/pass and it would just hang at signing in. I hit the back button and tried again and it worked. no problems since.
Worked fine from the beginning for me. Though the video doesn't work.

Please help! A while ago, i was synchronizing my gmail when wp7 asked me to ipdate and reinput my password. But each time i type in the right password, it says that the password is incorrect! Tried deleteting the account on my phone and putting it back again, still the same. On the browser and also on the desktop, i can log on normally using the same password. Please help
That sounds really strange. I've never had any issues with my gmail accounts.
It sounds like a typo, but since you've tried it several times that may not be the case.
Are you sure you didn't mistype the email address instead of the password?
I know that with the software keyboard, I sometimes hit the key next to the one I want to hit. But I'm sure you already tried typing the password slowly and looking at each letter as you type it.
Yes i'm 100% sure i got them all correct. Tried changing and rechanging the password but still nothing. Also, i tried on my wife's iphone, and it worked perfectly. On the wp7, nothing
Is your Server listed as m.google.com?
Also, did you make sure to check "Server requires encrypted (SSL) connection?
Yes and yes, m.google.com and SSL is checked. Even tried turning my phone off but still nothing
Are you actually using a @gmail.com account, or a corporate account through Google?
i'm using a .gmail.com account. it was working before, but now, nada.
Sounds like a bug.
I heard of someone who experienced something similar. They were able to solve it by connecting to a WiFi network and then setting up their gmail account.
I'm not sure why that solved it for them, but maybe it could help you too.
And it just did. I was connected to 3G when it happened. Connected to my home wifi and it finally accepted my password. Again, i connected to 3G just to confirm it and well ut works now. Thanks for all the help guys. Will drop the wp7 guys an email about this
I just ran into the same issue.
I had changed my gmail password via web interface. then the phone asked for the new password but wouldn't accept it.
I ended up deleting the account on the phone, changing the password at gmail (again) to something different, then readded the account to the phone. In that time period though, I logged onto wifi in order to sync faster.
Would have been nice to have seen this thread earlier...
Gmail on Android persistence challenge credentials bug fix
I found this to be a bug with Gmail account log in failures on Andriod when using 2-step verification. It persistently challenges you for credentials although you have successfully logged into your Google account on another machine via a web browser.
This is the fix I found:
Step 1:
Log into your gmail account on another machine using a web browser.
Go to account settings > 2-step verification > authorising sites > application specific password
Step 2:
generate a password called gmail -android but do not click done.
Step 3:
go to device enter your gmail - andriod application specific password and you will get challenged a further 2-3 times enter the same password (you may have to also enter the CAPTCHA (a security image with distorted letters)).
Step 4:
When you are no longer challenged, try to sync with gmail if you do not get a sign-in error on your device then this has worked and be sure to click done in your your google account settings via your browser on the other machine you used.
Hope this helps to those of you who are suffering from this infuriating Google 2-step verification bug.

I had countless issues with my Gmail account on WM6.x - same as you describe. Would not accept my credentials.
The steps described above solved it for me (having to reset using that captcha thing) but it would keep on re-occuring. Not seen it so far in WP7 though. *touch wood*
Ok, so for the past week/week & a half I've been getting notifications that the stock email app has a sign-in error & I have to re-enter my password. I only have my yahoo account tied to it, no work email. It happens a few times a day & is pretty annoying.
I've deleted the account in the app & re-entered it, but that didn't fix it. I've re-entered my password, but after a bit, it give's me the same problem. I've changed my password in Yahoo, but still no fix.
I didn't see anything when I searched the forums, don't know if anyone else is having this prob or if I'm just special.
If its like this it has been happening alot. My wife is fed up with it.

Mine has been doing this for a few days too. Weird!
Device: Galaxy Nexus (GSM)
Carrier: Rogers
Country / Language: Canada
OS / Browser / build number (if applicable): Android 4.0.2 ICL53F
I upgraded my ROM to the stock Google one, the "yakju" build. Everything's fine; radio works perfectly, etc. The only problem is I cannot sign in with the google account I use. Each time the initial sign-in tells me I need to use web sign-in (I have 2-step turned on). I then use web sign in and enter the code correctly, it says "Signing in..." then almost immediately returns with the error "Problem occurred while communicating with Google servers, please try again later".
I got this yesterday so I tried again today, but still have the same error. If I sign in with a different Google account, everything works.
I tried a factory reset, but still got the same error.
How do I fix this?
Thanks!
update your security in google account. then try.
I just started getting this tonight, I installed a new ROM and when I went to setup the account I got the same issue, anyone know if it could be on Google's side?
I'm actually getting this error too, started this morning after a full wipe.
I've tried both via wi-fi at home or via 3g, nothing. It keep giving me back that error... any solution?
i got it to work by disabling 2-step on my google account and then setting up the android phone, I then re-enabled 2-step and rebooted my phone, after using it a bit, I got prompted to sign into Google again and this time the 2-step through the browser sign-in worked.
problem connecting to google server .

Hey I just installed Rebel Rom on my Exhibit II 4g and it all works beautifully... that is until I try to log into Skype. I enter my username and password click login and it brings up the enable video message. I click enable then it brings up the spinning circle, then it freezes and just sits there. I let it go for a real long time and nothing. So I force close it in the manage applications section and give it another go. Now when I put in my username and password it says signing in and just keeps spinning. I would love to know why since I use skype alot. Any ideas?
Try reinstal it
Thanks
Yeah I had tried that already, several times. Finally got it working after several tries, and using SD Cleaner, and a few reboots. It was weird but whatever got it working now. Thanks for the help.
Hello,
I just rooted and changed my build.prop file to get Wallet working and it seems since all of that, the default Mail app will no longer connect to my Exchange server. I tried clearing app data to no avail. I downloaded Touchdown to see if it would work, and it connected just fine. I'm an admin on the server if anything needs to be changed in there. Everything else on the phone seems to be working normally.
Error: "Unable to connect to server."
Tried: Result
- Intentionally mistyped credentials: Username/password incorrect.
- Using IP address instead of hostname: SSL certificate error, Continue, Unable to connect to server.
- Using Touchdown: Works fine.
Thanks in advance.
FOR THE GOOGLERS
I ended up having to unroot for an OTA update using this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=32918402&postcount=19
After doing so, email is working fine. I'm reluctant to re-root due to this issue. I'll update this if I ever re-root and it's working.
did you try to make a new account and see if that works?

I did. It gives the same error."Setup could not finish. Unable to connect to server."
Seems like it's common with 4.0.4, but it was working fine before root.
Anyone know where I can find a log for the default email app?
