[Q] gmail keeps asking for password help!

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*

[Q] MIUI Sync Problem

Hey there,
today I flashed MIUI 1.10.8, thought I could give it a shot.
Runs really fine except for one thing: I can't figure how to add my google-acc to miui for contact/calendar sync.
Going [Settings > Personal > Accounts & Sync Settings] shows me that no accounts have been added yet. So I go on to [Add account] which leads me to this "Xiaomi Passport" thing, entering my google login here only leads to error messages (ss like "Username and password not matching" bla).
What am I doing wrong? Can't find any other login possibilities.
Guess something is wrong cuz under [Calendar -> Accounts] I get a white screen with the title "Add an account". No controls at all, just a blank screen.
Searching the forum/google did not help much.
Thanks for your help,
swent

[Q]Exchange Account Showing Account Deleted

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!

[Q] Cannot sign into google account on s2 plus

Hey guys, I have this problem and it is really annoying me and it is very serious.
I have a rooted Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105 (android version 4.2.2) and only a few hours ago, my Google Account showed "Can't Sync" and "Sync will be back shortly" type of messages. As a result, I couldn't sync contacts, access Google+ and couldn't open Google Play even if there was Wi-Fi.
Also note that every other account like Dropbox, Evernote, Whatsapp and Viber etc work and I am even able to browse the web on the Chrome app. Also the internet connection in my home is working okay.
I searched for solutions and some people said to remove and add my Google account again. I removed my account and after that I couldn't add it again.
Any help please. thanks a lot.

do a factory reset of your phone first
then try logging in
if not, flash another firmware would 100% fix the problem

from the first moment when you root your phone
you should be aware that you would definitely lose all your things on your phone one day.
try clearing data and force stop google service framework and things related to accounts
