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.

I have this problem with yahoo mail while connectoed to my computer it works fine but when I connect by Meia Net it keeps asking me to verify my user name and password. Its and intermittent problem as sometimes it does work. Has anyone had this problem and if so how do I fixz it. Thanks.
This happens to me occasionally, I had never used activesync to try to resolve it so I am unsure. I had problems with POP so I changed to their IMAP mobile and haven't had an issue since. I always thought it was a conflict with too many concurrent logins occurring.
i use imap for better mail management. i get this issue with both my gmail and yahoo mail accounts on my phone. i just hit next when i get them and it doesnt happen for days at a time. i unno how to fix this but im interested in someone figuring it out.
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*
Okay, so i have the HTC Arrive now, and i really like the phone, great UI, Amazing keyboard, not as quick on the data as my LG Quantum but still fast, but the Gmail, i dont know what is going on with the gmail on here, i have my gamil signed into my Quantum with no problem, but when i try to sign in to the app and have my gmail on my arrive it tells me that the info is incorrect... i really am getting frustrated with that :/
any oppinions or ideas?
Ive taken the battery out and deleted the gmail acct off the phone, yet still no gmail...
How can i fix this?
Are you just setting it up as an exchange account on the phone or using some gmail app from the marketplace?
I'm using gmail simply via exchange and it works no problem.

I had this same problem when I first got my Arrive. Needless to say it frustrated the CRAP out of me. I tried everything and after several resets and whatnot I finally figured the solution, it's not the most desirable but it worked for me.
I had to change my gmail password on a computer or IE on the phone, then try. It then worked and I changed my password back and updated the account info on my phone.
Try this and let me know if it works for you!
It does that the first couple of times, each time giving you more options to change, but on the third time it will give you the option to set the Exchange server address(m.google.com). As soon as you put that in and retry it connects and starts syncing. I haven't figured out how to set the server address without first failing twice.
Dear All,
I do apologize for starting a new thread on this topic (I know others have been berated for doing similar) but I have searched and not found anything that addresses the issue that I am having.
My Gmail app keeps dropping its push email function. Manual refresh works but not push. I can get it working again by clearing the Gmail app data and re-setting up all the Gmail settings (signature, notification, etc.) and all works well. However it only lasts for between a few hours to a couple of days before it stops working again and I have to repeat the process to get it working again.
Sending email, and my wife's Nexus S works fine. I have also just noticed (but not investigated it) but the Calendar does not seem to be automatically syncing either even though auto syncing is enabled.
Has anyone else experienced this problem and found a cure?
I also noticed similar Gmail sync issue yesterday. I tried all means but not successul till now. Hope someone comes up with a solution.
Oh, yesterday I got this error message couple of times " Google services framework force close or something like that". I rebooted the phone, and that error went away but not sure if that's the reason for my push email not working well.
Did you ever come with a solution to this? I've found it to be quite annoying.
This claims to be a solution: http://www.nexusoneforum.net/forum/...-gmail-app-has-stopped-syncing.html#post94541
It's written as though it's for situations that it started happening pre-empted by adding additional accounts though. I've only got 1 account and it's tending to happen every 2 or 3 days.
I have not found a "solution" - just a work around. What I have found is that when I do a full Google account sync (Settings/Accounts & sync/[Google account]/Menu button/Sync) it forces a sync of my entire Google account but then kicks my push email into life again for a couple of days without needing to wipe my Gmail app data.
I've just got into the habit of doing this every morning when I get into the office. I took a vacation a few weeks ago and forgot to do it for a couple of days and lo-and-behold my emails stopped coming through, so nothing's changed.

Well that's a better workaround than having to clear data all the time at least.
Thanks!
Has anyone found a solution to this one.
I am having the same issue on an HTC Sensation with GMAIL android app. Basically it works for about 2 days and I receive an email exactly as I receive it but then after some days it stops working.
What I normally have to do i switch off all Sync and then switch it on again and it restarts everything but this is not the ideal thing.
I had this problem before. The only way I found to fix it is to remove the google account from the phone and add it again. Also if you disable the Google account from the Account & Sync Settings and enable it again will fix the issue. I didn't have this problem again but not sure if was actualy fixed from the above steps.
Hi
I did what was said in post and now I am getting replies but I am afraid that this will stop after some time....
In the end for me I had to do a factory reset, the little workarounds weren't sticking.
For some reason my S3 stopped syncing my work calendars on my Exchange account. All boxes were checked to sync, etc.
I finally removed the account completely and re-added it and now I have all the items including my calendar back.
Now, though, every time I open the account I see a message flash by that says "account deleted". Obviously it isn't. I even tried changing the account name but that didn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get rid of this flashing message?

Which rom? Something similar happened to me on Synergy 1.2. After about 6 hours the account would get deleted, I guess the exchange server noticed something funky and automatically wiped the account on the phone.
*** Forgot to mention I was running the Exchange no security patch.
I actually figured it out. It wasn't the phone giving me the error message. It was Nova Launcher. I had my corporate account set up as a dock swipe gesture. When I deleted and re-added the account Nova still saw the original account apparently. Now everything seems to be fine. Thanks!
