So I use hangouts as my SMS app now, and I have two email accounts. I have my own personal gmail account, and a gmail account from my school. The problem is that I can't technically log off of my school account on the hangouts app, nor can I log in. It is managed by the school, so it won't log into hangouts. So it is stuck between those and when I try to log in it says "could not connect to server". Also, whenever I connect to mobile data, it tries to log on every few minutes. So my question is, can I disable my school account ONLY for hangouts? (I need the account logged in for other google services)

I've had GMAIL since day 1.. NEVER had any issues with my account.. used it on a normal basis. Since getting into my Dinc, I've had to go through 2 account verifications with Google to get back into my account.. both times changing my password. I see that "something" has been spamming email from my account.. at first I thought it was spoofing my email address as the sender, but now I am seeing the email in my sent folder...
Question, is there an app that can monitor when this kind of activity is going on with my phone like this? It's not my computer... I forward all my GMAIL to my main email account (not gmail) so I NEVER log into GMAIL on a computer.. the only thing that is actively logged in is my phone..
Ideas?
I've had the same problem, ended up restoring an old nandroid backup & reinstalling the things i''d lost.
seems t have fixed the issue but my gmail defiantly got hacked; everyone with a hotmail account got sent spam
Just because your email account was hacked does not 100% indicate a malicious program on your phone or computer.
For example: You could have signed up for a website or forum using the same password as your email account. If that forum DB gets compromised, then your password could have been decrypted from the sql database...
It's possible some app has sent an email if:
You've entered your Google password to that app.
You've authorized that app for Google account using WWW (OAuth) or Android OS, but you didn't notice it requests permissions for sending emails.
You gave root permissions to that app and you have Google account set up in Android OS.
I think there is no other way to get access to your account.
Hi, all. Noob here. Title says it all. My google account has synched but for some reason, I can't add my gmail account to the Sense mail app. I added my hotmail account to it and it worked fine, but every time I try to add my gmail account, it gives me an authentication error and failure to login. The funny thing is that the gmail app works fine. But for some reason, the Sense mail app won't add my gmail account. Would be nice to access all my emails through one mail app.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx.
Noob.
To get Gmail in the Sense Email app, you have to setup your @gmail.com account as an Exchange ActiveSync account. The server address is m.google.com . Everything will sync up just fine, including mail, contacts, and calendar. You can use push mail too if you'd like, or set an update schedule.
I setup my gmail account in Mail under the other option and it works perfect

It doesn't have to be a exchange account, I have it set up without that. You should go into your gmail settings on the computer and make sure the pop and/or IMAP is on.
Thanks for the suggestions. Tried all of it, but still not working. Weird. Not too bummed about it though...the gmail app is pretty good.
Are you 100% putting the right password in?
Do you use and special characters that you might not be typing correctly in the phone. If you do maybe change it to a easy password temporarily just to test.
It should be easy to setup, took me like 10 seconds

ok so I have my personal gmail account that I use for everything such as google+, buying apps, ect. Then I have my student gmail account for school and i had both on my phone, however when I have both accounts on my phone every time there is an app that has an update when I click on the notification the market switches accounts on me from my personal one to my school account which does not contain the apps. Does any one know how to keep this from happening?
for the mean time I have just been using the other email app for my student email.
go to settings and clear data for market.. it will fix it .. worked for me
Hi, new to the forum so not sure if I have posted in the correct place.
I have a question about google and gmail accounts:
I have already signed up for a google account and use my existing email address from demon (broadband provider) as the user id. I then had a quick look on the Gmail web page and it says that if I sign up for a Gmail email address then this becomes my main Google user id and my old email address becomes my alternate email/user id. Now my question is, what is the advantage of having a GMail address to connect to Google compared to using my existing email address? Does this enable any features that I dont currently have? If I don't need a new email address (from Gmail) then do I need to even sign up for one?
Secondly if I do decide to sign up for a new Gmail email address, how do I access/retrieve my emails? Do I setup a new account in my Thunderbird email client and collect them there? Or do I have to sign in to my account on the Google gmail web page and view them there using a Gmail client or some other method?
Apologies for the simple sounding questions but I have only just started using a smart phone and am a bit overwhelmed with the technology side of things
Well I think by signing in with Gmail you can access all functionality of your android phone. Otherwise, you can't access Play store, Google Now, Gmail, etc. By using Gmail, your contact account on your phone will be synchronize with Gmail contact, which means you don't have to be afraid to lose your contact in case you accidentally erase them. And it's easier to transfer your contacts if you decide to change your phone.
To get your emails, you only have to open your Gmail application.
Just sign up, mate.

Rather than using the yahoo mail app i simply use gmail to access my yahoo account, but for the last few weeks it hasn't been syncing.
I delete the account and re add it and it works for a day but then it stops syncing, i delete the account again and add it and it works for another day but then it stops. Any idea what the issue could be? Is yahoo neutering anyone that isn't using their app to check mail?
All the time. It's been like this for months.

Surely yahoo has been scrambling to fix this issue... no?
Experience this since the July 16 update. Before this, gmail doesn't support 2-step verification for Yahoo and you need to generate a password from Yahoo's setting. Now it supports 2-step verification, but the issue persists just like what @peachpuff mentioned
Yahoo Email is a good mail client but it is not properly working for a few years. if you want to switch yahoo mail then you can go Gmail Email client. It is good and fast work. you can recover old data in Gmail mail client with a third-party tool. Visit here more info: softaken yahoo to Gmail software
