I recently reset my Idol 3 and I know all of my login information, but I keep getting "Couldn't access to Google, please try again later." and it's frustrating because I know I am entering the right email address and password because I reset my google password 4 days ago. I read somewhere that if you reset your password, you have to wait 72 hours or something like that, so I waited and it's still giving me the same "Couldn't access Google, please try again later." bs and I have no way of removing my google account to do it all over again.

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*
i dont know what the heck is happening but a sign in error has popped up. i type my password but it says its incorrect. the result is i cant use ANY of the google services including market, gmail, etc. is google down right now or?
Is Google down? No. Try logging in from a computer. Perhaps your acct is locked.
Try recover password from mail.Google.com

Have you tried to clean your framework cache? Once I couldn't sign in the market, and it was all about it..
this message comes up occasionally - usually when my phone connects to a "Free Wifi" hotspot that requires me to Pay and Log In....
I just click it and it either goes away, or prompts me for my password again. I enter it and it goes away and all is well.
As someone said above, is your account locked?
Do you have Google authenticator setup?
After I wiped my phone do do the BAMF 1.5 install, it wasn't taking my password on my phone. So, I logged into my Google account on my computer, turned off the authentication, and after that my phone let me right in.

i dunno wtf was happening but i just ended up changing my google password and typing in my new password and it worked....
If you use 2-step verification with your Google account, you may get errors during sign-in. Just create an application-specific password and use that to login.
i have got my spice mi-496. its was working good until i
have apply pattern lock. one day kids used my phone and phone got lockked due to 5 failed attempts. i try to restart and put my Google account cridentials but phone does not accept it

So I sold my phone (Galaxy S6) on Swappa, first time ever. The buyer received the phone went to set it up and the an error reading "This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device." He recommended doing a video call where I would give him the password so he could get in and remove my account. And I would be able to watch him so I know he isn't stealing my information. I changed my password before giving him it because it is similar to other passwords I use for other logins. When we went to do the call it keeps looping back to that same screen with an error message. I know it recognizing my email because I see my picture pop up when it asked for a password. In my research I just came across articles like this: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/07/13/dont-change-your-google-password-before-factory-resetting-your-android-phone-you-might-trip-a-72-hour-security-lockout/
I just want to know if I am permantly locked out because I changed my password after I reset, or if we can try again in 72 hours? I can't find anything more clear about changing the password after the factory reset, everything talks about before.

sorry, i cant help with your question, but in the future, remove your account from the phone before factory reset and you wont have this problem.
any phone running lollipop and forward will have this new security on it, and if your phone never had software older than lollipop on it, there is no way to bypass the security check.
My sister had her phone stolen, but we just got it back after they caught the guy. They did a factory reset on it. We have logged in on the gmail she set up with the phone. We got a message saying "Unable to sign in to device due to a unknown error. Please try another account or try to sign in again after 24 hours." we have waited 24 hrs and nothing, we even tried another 24hrs after she reset her password and still same error. What am I doing wrong? What can I do to help her? I read about odin to be able to bypass setup, but I am at work right now and unsure of her model number.
You will need the combination files for the gs8+ and then use the csc file and not the home one. Look at Idoneapps website forums for helps.
The way I did it.
I have tried it and keep getting the 24hr frp.
