GMAIL Mobile APP certificate error on T-mobile WM6

Has anyone figured out how to solve the issue with the Gmail mobile Java app and the "Your phone doesn’t have the appropriate certificate to communicate with Gmail" error?
I used to have a motorola razr, and the app worked just fine, so it's not T-mobile blocking me ... but rather something in WM6.

Actually, i just tried this the other day with My Wing, and I had no issues. But, I have had issues before when I was using the Standard T-Mobile ROM. Currently I am using the Touch-IT Rom.

As an FYI for anyone having problems with the stock TMO rom's ... after installing the PDAVIET TouchFlo rom, the GMAIL app works flawlessly, but I had to install the java from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1483665&postcount=24

i prefer to check it from PIE. my homepage is set up as google and it includes GMail (showing last 5 emails) as well as a few other blogs. Checking for new mail without even logging in makes it very quick, just load up PIE. I gave up with the gmail app a while ago...

Yeah, I have google setup as my homepage too... which is nice, but I like the ability to use the gmail app since it has more off the options you would get on the actual site.
Plus there's that whole "hell yeah" feeling you get when you finally get something to work that been making you crazy for the past 2 months! haha... similiar to my getting the resized mms problem fixed.

great results!
Have to verify duprade - I am running a stock wing and simply installed the cab, started that version of Java and ran the Gmail mobile app (no cert prompt or anything.....)
--paklids.

Glad you got it working. I was certainly relieved when I got it to work.... funny thing is I barely use it ... I just want it to work when I do need it.

I actually got this to work by downloading the file on my phone. When it tried to run it, i got the cert error. but i opened esmertec jbed, went to menu, install, local file and it finds the gmail file. Click gmail in the list and it will start the install.
Working fine for me now. You do have to hit yes a few times for it to connect...but this should work. let me know.

I do this also, but the only problem is that it does not display attachments, such as photos. Any ideas on how to fix that?
Thanks.

[Q] Google Account - applied Dexter Mod 1.2

Installed the Dexter upgrade 1.2. Update went flawlessly. Followed all the steps outlined in earlier posts. Now have Calendar!!!! and market icon. When I try to add my gmail account I get the following message -
"Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server."
I can sign into my gmail account through the browser...but can't seem to connect via the "add a google account" or through the gmail icon (which was not a problem before the upgrade.)
Also tried to set up a new gmail account. Get the same message.
Any ideas?

Make sure your date and time is set correctly

Time and date are set properly. But I switched to automatic just in case...
Still get the same message. Worth a try though. Thanks.

Market issues
I am having the same issue with the google / gmail account setup. It does not appear to be connecting through the wireless when connecting to google. I have let the inital connection fail then it sets up the wireless and that gives the message about not being able to connect to data services (cell network). I can browse with the browser fine and is otherwise normal but will not set up google accounts. Did the factory wipe and the install went great without any other issues.

Cannot get to market HELP!
Ok this is a major problem, market won't allow you to sign in with your google account. Ever since the update to 1.2 is like they put a lock on the market! I wiped both the user settings as well as the cache before updating to 1.2 and I am still locked out. Can anyone clarify what I am doing wrong?!

still not working
OK...came to my office and tried a different wireless network..not that I thought that was the problem, but anything is a shot. I have wiped the cache, etc. et.c
Still a no go.
All the workarounds that I have found use You Tube...but A7 doesn't have You Tube and no other sites that I can access offer it.
Since this thread isn't on the "developer" part of XDA not sure if anyone who can help is seeing it.
Here's the upside...I didn't have market before..so I haven't lost anything except a lot of time.

Has anyone gone back to the previous mod version to see if it doing the same thing? Could it be an issue with Google and not the mod?

I have not done that...but will try it tonight. I had othe problems with 1.1...FC on both sound and brightnes and the calendar, so I went right to 1.2 after that rather than load anything back onto the device.

This has been happening since yesterday. the g tablet section is having the same issue, as are many other I'm sure. Google seem to be screwing with the market.

That worked great!
My other A7 is now working without the Market enabler, so looks like Google was screwing with stuff yesterday...
Thanks for all the help

[Q] Update to 3.1 breaks exchange mail

I had an ota and it upgraded to 3.1. Now my exchange mail gets stuck in the outbox when replying. The only way to make it go is to forward or uncheck show quoted text. Anyone else have this problem?

nope not here

thats wierd because my xoom also has a broken exchange after 3.1 HC update.

don't know what rom you are using, however it works very well with stock 4.10.40 rom including with o/c kernel.
eventually i would suggest that you do a dalvik cache cleanup, and also remove all data from your email application in settings, and setup your exchange account again.
also where do you find the show quoted text parameter, i have no such parameter in the standard ACER email application, which i am using for exchange, and it always worked without any problems.

thanks for the info. Exchange was working fine once the corporate account release updated my acer. It only stopped after 3.1 HC came out. Same thing on the xoom, worked fine pre-3.1, post-3.1 broken. I may try to load up an old rom until this problem is fixed.

it still works fine as i told you with 4.10.42 now.

Wow, I am on 4.10.13. I hope it gets updated soon.

I have the same problem with 4.010.40.
However I realized the following:
1- sending new emails is fine.
2- forwarding emails is also fine.
3- if you reply to emails, the reply gets stuck in the outbox forever, never sent.
I tried the trial version of Moxier, and it works fine with no issue, so it is not a problem with my email server (same settings). Moxier is nice, but I prefer the stock client as it is free, and the most important is that it allows me to reply or forward emails in HTML format.
any help here? or is it a bug in the client that need to be corrected by Acer?
Update: it seems the problem happens when I reply to HTML emails (which is almost all emails), but if the email is plain text, or I opt to not include original email, it is not sent.
This is silly, as the mail thing I liked here is being able to reply with HTML formatting preserved!!!

same thing happening for me. Any news or any other threads tracking this?

From what I have read 3.2 for the XOOM fixed the issue for them.
For us.. I don't think 3.2 is out for a few weeks? (just got mine so I am trying to get caught up on these threads..)
I found this...
http://androidadvices.com/fix-exchange-activesync-problem-on-acer-iconia-a500-after-rooting/
Anyway Not sure if anyone tried this or not.
This is a really PITA I was hoping for a fix but I am not having luck finding one so far.

I just tried setting up touchdown for exchange. Auto setup nor manual work. Used same settings as as on Dell streak 5.
Seems like I would need to down grade to stock for it to work properly.
Are any of you folks rooted or using superuser by chance? Just trying to think outside the upgrade box for possibilities.
If I find a way, I'll share. Best of luck folks.
Cheers.

[q] n4 pa 3.6/3.65 email not working!!! Help

2 weeks ago I flashed PA 3.6 on my N4. after a day or so i noticed that i was not receiving any incoming emails on a Hotmail or exchange account. BUT if i went into the email account and manually hit the "sync" button emails would populate. I was previously on a PA 3.XX Rom and had no issue.
I installed the new rom, wiped cache, installed Gapps update, Fix and still nothing. The only new app i installed was Swipe, i uninstalled that, cleared email app cache and still nothing unless i manually sync. I then moved up to PA 3.65 yesterday and the same issue. So i decided to delete all the email accounts and re-create them. Now it lets me create an account and verified the credentials on the accounts but never completes a "sync" and seems to be stuck in a constant loop.
This is on wifi or the network. Anyone have similar issues? i have found no posts regarding this. Worst case i could just do a factory reset and try that if i have to.
Thanks!

I get this all the time with new ROMs. The last ROM that acted up was MakoColors, before that was MIUI, then PA before that. It must just take time, because my Nandroid backups (I rotate between PA and MIUI every week or so; I love them) seem to be working. I encounter it every single time I try a new ROM, then it just magically fixes itself after a few days. I don't understand it either, OP. I have a Gmail and a Hotmail account; the Hotmail account is the only one that has problems (makes sense that the Gmail one wouldn't act up). I have no idea how to fix it though. It's quite annoying.

I wish that was the case. I had 3.6 installed for about 9 days and it was still the same story. I've tried to change from push to a different interval and back to push and same outcome.

Ok, I gotta bump this thread because I'm now getting this problem with the 4.3 leak. My email refuses to sync no matter what I do. It's a Hotmail account. Anyone know what could be the cause? Stuck on the sync screen with no emails or anything on my phone.

I fixed my issue by doing a factory wipe. nothing else worked no matter how many times I flashed.

let it in peace, it will sync. this is not a problem with a rom, not pa or miui or whatever you flash - it just takes times. i recently bought my mom a macbook air, it took one hour until her mails were there, when i set up one of my android device i just put them away to allow them to get sync their stuff. i noticed especially in the legacy mail app this can take quite long but you can be certain there is no difference between stock android and PA in that regard.

I flashed pa 3.65 and it worked, I just had to start clean. dirty flash was producing the same result every Rom I flashed.

I had this happen to my Nexus 7. For about a month. No play store. It linked fine, I could go into the play store on the N7, just couldn't install from the browser. A little inconvenience, but no biggy. Today I wanted to squash it. lol.
What I did was clear data and uninstall updates from settings-apps-all. Then opened up the play store and saw it was the old version of play, which was fine. Exited out and went back into the play store. I got a message that I needed to enable or download the play services app from the play store, which is weird because I already have it. So what I did there was clear all data in that app and sign into the play services app. Again, exited out and went back into the play store. Play updated automagically, but I still couldn't see the N7 listed under my devices in my browser. I let it go for about an hour because I got busy at work. Decided that if it didn't show up by the end of the day, I would factory reset and redo everything. So I began my titanium backup.
Before that, I let TB and went into the market update helper to attach the apps again to the market. Then I started my apps and data backup just in case I needed to do a factory reset.
About a hour later, I see the N7 back under my settings.

Google account needed when no SIM?

I managed to get two s5's rooted and annoyingly enough, unless I put my sims card in them, neither gmail or the playstore will connect or login via wifi. I only have one sims activated and that is my internet connection which I tether via wifi to my other devices.
Is there a way to work around this? If this is too remedial a question or unwelcome in this thread, I apologize.
I'd like to be able to set up a freshly flashed and rooted phone to accept my gmail account and work with playstore on wifi, sans a sims installed. Do I need to create a gmail account for each and every phone I wish to set up? Will this fix the problem of doing a phone not having a active verizon sims installed? For whatever reason, my playstore access and gmail push are wonky and dubious at best when having the same account being "registered" on multiple devices and I'm not sure if it started recently when gmail for some reason started sending notices to said email account of when another device logged in.

I too manage two S5's, rooted and I have no problems. The one without a Sim works great off of WiFi. Playstore works fine logged into the same account.

That's perversely encouraging and assures me I haven't lost my mind expecting something impossible that I thought I knew to be true. Neither of my S5's, my N4 or Z2 will reliably hook up with gmail and the play store both. This one S5 will not allow me set up a new gmail account on the device and gmail has stopped pushing to my DD S4. Remove account, clear cache, date force stop all google processes, reboot and same. Lots posted about it and I know google hasn't banned me as it is working on some devices. Besides, I behave.
Now if I can get supersu to install from an APK with a wifi connection, I can at least proceed.
Congrats on yours and thanks for confirming it should work.

Well I popped the sims card in the one, which had been flashed back to ngc from oa8 (my other one hadn't ever tried to OTA update from nk2) and playstore and gmail cooperated fine. However, SDM started downloading an update, which I'll assume is OTA to OA8 or OC4. The first time before I pulled the battery I got playstore hooked up and forced SDM to stop. Pulled the battery and SDM continued where it left off and I managed supersu and busybox. Deferred the install of the update and wonder how critical it is that the downloaded file be removed prior to safestrapping it and then OC4 rooting it with the tether addon.
The other S5 on nk2 hasn't tried to OTA update so it must be down on the list despite being readily activate-able with clean IMEI and no issues.
I wish I could figure out why google services such as gmail and playstore are being contumacious on my devices.

I had that same problem of an update trying to get on my phone before I could get it rooted ( an s4) and it messed my phone up bad. I had to finally take the update to get it working again
I would put all the files, towelroot, busybox, SuperSU, safestrap, and titanium backup on my ext SD card. Flash back to stock NGC. Don't use your Sim or log onto WiFi. Root your phone and freeze SDM.

It never attempted the OTA until the active sim card was in place. I used it on wifi many times including several times today and had even worked fine with the playstore/gmail on wifi up until recently when gmail stopped pushing to my dd period, and every other device in which my DD's sims card wasn't inserted.
The OTA update file has been downloaded, but not installed. I deferred it to 5 am and didn't check automatic. I am assuming I can defer it again although I'd somehow feel better removing it and freezing SDM until I decide if I am going to OC4 it or do a custom rom. Nice would be native call recording, native tethering and being able to overclock it a bit. A lightweight lollipop and xposed would probably do the trick other than maybe overclocking. Too much reading for one day.
It is currently on NCG, rooted, supersu, busy box, and safestrap all installed. I think I'll install a root file explorer try to find it and also do Titanium Backup while I'm at it. I wish I knew where it was and if removing it was as simple as just deleting a file.
Any ideas? I have two in the same state and think I'm going to make one of them my DD since getting root on a verizon N4 doesn't look likely anytime soon. The N4 is kinda big anyhow. I have to have tethering and would like it easier than foxfi since I feel obligated to use as much of my unlimited data as possible. I think I read the native call recording can be enable from the dialer at the cost of the "add call" which I don't use or even know what it is.

Getting on that this morning. I wish I could figure out why it keeps downloading and installing playstore on wifi and still won't work until I put my sims in it. I've gone through everything short of uninstalling all of google services and reinstalling them on several devices. My wifi only z2 tab acting stupid with google would be a vexation if I let things like that bother me.
Thanks and I'm popping the sims in it and going to try cleaning it up and locking down SDM.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Installed the root browser and the update zip was in cache.
Deleted.
Went to system with the display icon.
App then deleted the SDM apk and the SDM odex file.
Hopefully that will keep it from pulling that stunt again until I decide what to do with it.
Guess I should do it with the other one and figure out why that same sims won't make gmail push to my DD or the play station work in it or why my non-pc wifi only devices won't work except through their browsers. I think there must be some conflict with which devices the playstore is recognizing as being associated with my accounts.
Must be something in my google settings and what a conglomerated octopus google services has turned into.
Thanks again. Feel free to tell me if my down and dirty bandaid overlooked anything!

Good luck to you!
The only thing weird about my google account and gmail is that the email address I login with is not the one that shows up under "accounts" and the login email address is not a gmail address. Somehow the two different email accounts are linked together.

Yeah, I wish I know what Google was up to exactly. Acknowledging the 'this device logged into your account' and verifying that it's me, seems like should seamlessly eliminate issues. That doesn't appear to be the case and I think my problems started when I somehow agreed for them to send me such notices relative to the gmail account I use on my other devices, not both gmail accounts associated with my DD.
On my DD, I have two gmail accounts that I've had for ages. They have always worked fine on my android devices. Recently that changed and I'm not sure why but I know when. On my other many devices, I've just registered one of my gmail accounts to them, the same one each time, and they too all seemed to quit working at the same time, initially offering no problems to working on wifi.
However, I am curious as to your thoughts on Ricks Rom as I looked over the specs and it seems to be about what I'm looking for although for some unqualified reason, my mind has been thinking I wanted a rom based on lollipop. It says it has native or hacked hotspot and native call recording. Can it be overclocked? I don't use Facebook, Twitter or any of the gimmicky apps that come preinstalled on the phones and find most all of them, especially the Samsung redundant ones, to be annoying and intrusive.
Do you know for sure if Xposed will or will not work with it?
How many security certificates come system installed on Ricks Rom? My guess is that something like 200 come stock and I don't like the looks of many of them and wish I knew how come and why.
Thank you, I appreciate your sharing information. It is nice to gather up pieces to puzzles and hopefully being able to solve them. I'll get this gmail playstore thing fixed if it means I have to go fishing long enough to forget about it! Maybe somebody else finding themselves in a similar situation may find some of our particular details useful to fixing these oddities.

I'm running RicksRom (v19 right now) on my DD and have been using it since I first got my phone a year and a half ago. I don't have Xposed but don't know why it wouldn't work. This is a pretty lean ROM but it does have quite a few security certificates. I'm running MOAR on my spare phone that is currently on lollipop. I have this phone as a spare to play with but wouldn't run lollipop. Too quirky and I like the theming capabilities of KitKat better.

Thanks, lean sounds fine and overclocking a bit would be even nicer! I'll dig through that thread a bit more and see if anyone has verified Xposed to work with it conflict free and if it can be clocked.
I went through my gmail account settings on my PC and under Recent Activity/Notifications and Alerts... there is no way to uncheck any alerts that have been checked. I am pretty sure my issues started when I recently checked "Email" for Suspicious Attempt to Access Account. The password change email notice has been checked since forever.
Going to the Playstore on my PC, it lists all of my devices, past and present although it has dropped some that haven't accessed for a while, and now makes me think I need to give them all nicknames since I have multiples of the same Model Number devices. However, it lists all current and recent as well reconciles. What it won't do from my PC browser, is anything but sit there doing nothing when I hit install for a selected app. It will not give a pop down menu to select which device and the playstore account settings are very minimal. I will see if nicknaming them helps since there are multiple devices with the same model number. This type of online PC install used to work fine and would prompt with a pop down menu to select which device, regardless if they were online via the sims or wifi, and then download and install if the selected device was online. I don't recall ever doing that when I had multiple devices having access with the same model number.
Another interesting thing is that Verizon must have access to the playstore and/or gmail device list. I know this from speaking with a very helpful tech rep this week about my data connection speed on my DD. She verified seeing devices on this account even if they hadn't ever had my sims card installed. Merely been online with my one email account registered and playstore accessed from it. That kinda surprised me. I wonder if there is some Google Services/Verizon conflict that may be causing this.
