I've been trying to add a second google mail account to my phone today. I've gone into 'Google Mail' app, add account, which I already have, and complete the details. I have good wifi signal and can stream videos from youtube very smoothly. I have Vodafone H coverage.... however it comes up saying temporay problem, you have no network connection. I've rebooted the handset, same problem.
Give I have Wifi and H mobile coverage I wonder if you can actually add a second account ? It says you can but has anyone managed to do it yet ? I can login from a PC to my second account ok.
PS I'm using the stock firmware from Vodafone.
once into the Gmail app .
press the menu key and that wil open the "Menu"
on the right side of that menu , there will be "accounts".
Click on that and put in the correct name and password for your 2nd gmail account .
Cheers

I've tested from work this morning, we have a Vodafone transponder in the building as they are the corporate network. We get very good and fast coverage, it still says its temp fault, unstable connection vague message. I've got a good very fast connection, somethings wrong with the app imo.
My first account is gmail and second is googlemail, I can't see that causing a problem. I can log into both via the internet browser fine :-\
It's been confirmed by other users on the Vofafone UK eForum the 2nd email option in Gmail isn't working. It seems the last firmware update broke the feature :|
I have the same problem.
Primary account is google apps.
Have also a gmail
When I try to log in to my third (apps) I get the timeout....
Have no idea what to do..
Confirmed here. Either on WiFi or 3g I'm getting network error while trying to setup second gmail account. First one is Google apps.

Anyone?
Have no clue to fix this..
You need to reset your phone to factory defaults and then reconfigure all Google accounts.
It has solved problem on my legend.

There is a workaround that has worked for some people, not including me with this same problem.. Download youtube from market by google, login to it with your second email account.. Hope that works for you, google needs to fix this right now, RESETTING your phone should NOT be an option, not even in the 1980's would this be acceptable.. Google should not be allowed in cell phones if their software did not make the advance in technology that many of us call "reconfiguration"
No problems here using 2 Google Accounts (no stock ROM though, I'm using CM 7 - Gingerbread right now but was the same with CM 6.1 before)
I did the setup through other way...instead of setting it in Gmail, go to phone Settings - Accounts & Sync and setup there the two accounts. My primary one is a Google Apps account configured to sync contacts, mail, notes and calendar and the second one is my personal account (the one set also for Google Checkout) where I've set to sync only mail. When going to Gmail apps I have both accounts there and I can send/receive from both
I have to emails one is my school g mail the other my personal gmail. I used to have the school one forward messages to the other but that turned into a hassle. I was just wondering if there's anyway to easily switch from one email to the other. Like if there was a widget or something.
Thanks!

I guess you can use the gmail client for one account and configure the email client to get mails from other gmail account. I use both gmail(thru gmail client) and yahoo mail using the email client. Also I see options in email client to configure more than one account, but haven't tried it. I do not want a combined inbox for more than one account as it will be kinda messy. But you can explore that option too.
Settings - accounts and sync -- add account -- Google account

I know how to do this that isn't the problem. My problem is when I get an email I don't automatically which email I'm getting it too. I have to choose the account. I just wish there was a way to separate it right off the bat. Instead of having to go through settings-accounts-email 1/email 2.
Maybe its just wish full thinking.

Yeah, sorry but there's no way to do that. I think there was on 2.2 when I had a Nexus One but I can't remember. Or you could try Gmail Pop Up on the market.

I'll see what I can find then let you guys know.

I people disappoint me...
Google app for main account.
Exchange ActiveSync for the second google account.
Google "Google Sync"
Vibrant can manage multiple exchange accounts, so it will work even if you have another exchange account set up.
HTH!

Search the market for gmail unread count. Its a widget you can add to your desktop that looks like an icon for gmail and will show the number of emails you have unread for any and ever gmail account set up on your phone. Its very stable and quite customizeable. I have a diff color icon for each of my 3 accounts and it makes keeping track of unread mails and accessing the specific account I want very very easy.

Im not sure if this is what you want. But I also have two gmail accounts, and one quick way for me to go into the right Inbox, is I created a shortcut for each Inbox, using the Gmail Label shortcut, when you create the shortcut, it will ask you which account you would like to use. Then you can rename the shortcut for each inbox to whatever you want, then from the Home screen just click on whatever Inbox. I hope that helps.

Anyone have problems setting up a second Google Account? I've been trying for a few days and keep getting a "Can't establish a reliable data connection to the server" error. I've tried both on WiFi and 3G, in different locations( home, at work, out and about), and still can get my second account linked. I did some digging the settings and found the multiple sign in options, turned all that on, and am able to sign in to both account on the web, but still not on my phone.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Same issue. I was able to do this at one point but after JI6 bricking my phone and getting it back with ODIN I have never been able to add multiple accounts. Hopefully someone here has an answer.
Does anyone know how to set up a school account on gmail (my university uses the gmail interface but has its own log in portal). I cant seem to log in through gmail.com (on the phone and desktop browser)
Hi everybody howcome when I go in calendar and try to add a event it says you have no calendar? Can somebody help me. I download a calendar app from market gave me same message.

Did you create one from Google Calendar? Log onto your gmail account and create a calendar then sync it to your phone.
Lol sounds confusing. What about contacts I saved 2 but its not on my contacts howcome?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
It happened to me when I first got my Nexus S. Even though I linked gmail and the calendar wouldn't allow me to add an event until a few days after using the phone while synced to Google account.
Sync Google account and do a soft reboot and if it doesn't work right away, let it run for a couple days. Give that a try. Good luck.

You can manually sync from the sync menu.

I bought my wife the new Nexus S 4g today. The guy at the sprint store helper her set up the phone even thought I did not want him too. Oh well it is his job. Thing is she had never setup Google Calendar because she had a BlackBerry before that. So when I got home I setup her Google calendar but it is not syncing to her new phone. When I go to Setting > Accounts & Sync > her google account there is not a Calendar option. What do I need to do I don't want to have to reset her phone. Are there any other options? Thanks.
Odd. Calendar should be one of the defaults syncs. Have you tried running the calendar app and see if the gmail account shows up there?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
I had tried running the calendar app but nothing shows up I even enter an event online thinking may bring it down but nothing. If you try to add an event on the phone it just says "You have no calendars". It is almost like the phone did not sync all the way to her account. I really don't want to reset her phone to factory default and have her set everything up again. She would not want to do that. She has already change the wallpaper all the screens downloaded apps, and changed ring tones.
I meant open the calendar app, press the menu button, press More then on Calendars and make sure the gmail account is listed there.
Also, this might be a stupid question but you're connected with Wifi or mobile network (3G, 2G, etc) right? Your phone signal bars should appear green if you're connected to Google's servers. If it's not green, you won't be able to sync.
I go to Calendar app > More > Calendars and there is nothing there, just have an Ok and cancel button. I have been on 3g, 4g, and wifi and nothing on any of them. Yes the the bars a green at the top.
I doubt you need to reset to factory so not to worry about that. Maybe you just have to wait a day or two. Either that or bring it back to the store and have them figure it out.
Might do that thanks. Hopefully it will work itself out.
You can also try rebooting the phone if you haven't already.
already tried that

maybe you should try and get the stock calendar.apk and re-install it...???
Ok I talked to Sprint and they said that is easiest way was to make sure that the phone was backed up to Google and just do a Factory Wipe. Basically wipe the phone and start over. So I did and that fixed the problem. So anyone who gets a new google phone and does not have all the google apps setup do that before you get the phone activated. I hope someone finds a better way because that is a major oversight on googles part. But everything is working great now.
All of the android device locating apps I've found send a text message to the device to locate it. My Acer A500 is obvious not a cell phone and is unable to receive SMS messages.
Is there any app available that can locate the tablet without using SMS?
I believe this is how it would go about it...
Install app to device from computer using Google Play (Android Market).
App starts automatically after install (and with each boot).
App automatically enables GPS location services.
App waits until tablet connects to wireless network.
Upon connecting to wireless network, app will send an email (using Gmail app) to your Gmail account with GPS coordinates.
Email then can be viewed from home computer and see the location of the tablet.
The weaknesses of this type of app is that if you lost your tablet when it was turned off, or in a place with no wifi, you will not be able to locate it. However, this type of app is still better than nothing for finding tablet with no cell / SMS service.
Is there any app like this available at all?
Lookout Security has this type of tracking system in place. Not sure if you can remote install it the way you described, but once it's on, it can report the approximate location at set intervals. I use this for my phone and tablet and the location is fairly accurate.
I usually use TripIt to manage my flights, hotel, and all the information we like to have in one place when we travel. TripIt can be seen from Google Calendar, in a separate calendar... and that is my problem. Since TripIt events are placed in a separated calendar, and Google Now only reads my main calendar, I cannot make Google Now to learn anything about my trips.
I wouldn't mind to do something by hand in order to have, for example, reminds to do the check-in, etc. How does Google Now works? When will Google Now show me cards about my flights? When I search for them? But how can Google Now known what day I am traveling? (in general the flight number is the same every day).
If somebody knows how to better use Google Now, please give me some tips.

For flights, you enter the carrier and flight number as a google search ( for example, jet blue 1234) and a card will come up with all of the flight info including gate, arrival/departure, and if its on time. Recently, calendar integration has been added to google now to show upcoming events in the recent update. Try to add your Triplit account under the phone accounts and sync the calendar. This may work if you have an email and password for that account.
Here's a card list help section from google: https://support.google.com/nexus/4/answer/2839499?hl=en&ref_topic=2839478
Good Luck.
Now is still very hit and miss, I wouldn't depend into for any crucial information.

Thank you for the tips. The problem is that if I search jet blue 1234, it will show me the informations of the flight of today, not the day I am travelling, which carries the same number.

There is no way to add the tripit account. The calendar is however already seen, because I have the calendar in my Google Calendar, but Google Now will only read the main calendar (which of course is not the one managed by tripit).
