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.....)

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.

Market "server error"

Hi Team,
Finally got my streak today and when I try to purchase an app, I get a server error message. Anyone else run into this one? Thanks,
Stephen

think there are some market issues around... see the other threads about changing your email from googemail to gmail if you use that

UPDATE:
After a bit more searching, I found a solution (at least so far). Got to the google account and register a credit card to your account. This card will then begin to show up as an option for you to use when you check out a software purchase.

4.4 OTA breaks certificate-based authentication support

Just upgraded my device to OTA 4.4 and Exchange services crashed every time I opened Email (I kept getting a message "Unfortunately Exchange Services stopped" repeatedly).
After deleting both the email account and the user certificate (we use certificate-based email authentication), I am unable to re-add the Exchange account back (after defining all credentials and parameters, I get a popup that says "Couldn't finish. Can't connect to server."). Additionally, I see a white triangle with an exclamation point inside in the notification bar. When I pull the bar down, the exclamation bar has a caption of "Network may be monitored by an unknown third party". When I click on that caption, I get a new pop-up saying "Network monitoring. A third party is capable of monitoring your network activity, including emails, apps and secure web sites. A trusted credential installed on your device is making this possible". There is a button underneath called "Check trusted credentials" and clicking on that takes me to a "user" portion of the trusted credentials store, where I see my corporate CA certificates.
In general, the issue of certificates issued by a non-public CA generating a "Network may be monitored" message has already been documented in several forums and there is an issue #62076 created for it. However, I suspect that "security features" introduced in KitKat are somehow preventing my device from using my certificate for email authentication (because device does not trust it). I knew I could count on Google to break the most used feature of my phone (email) and thus render it useless. Another win for the history books.

had the same issue after updating to 4.4. in short, i had to re-push both OA and CA certificates to re-establish the authentication system for work

I already tried that twice. No joy.
The most annoying part is that I also have a Nexus 10 tablet and it had ZERO problems after upgrading to KitKat (aside from the annoying "your network is being monitored" notification). This means Motorola yet again mucked with the stock Android install and broke it.
Any other ideas? I'd hate to go through a pain of reverting back to 4.3.

It'll work if you keep deleting, rebooting, then reinstalling the apk for email. At least it did for me. My company issues these certs, and I got it to work eventually.

So....here is what the issue is: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61785
Looks like quite a lot of people are affected by this. I cant believe how sloppy Google's QA is if something as major as this was pushed out of the door.
Now I need to wait for Motorola to incorporate this fix into their build of Android, then for Verizon to "test" it and roll it out via another OTA update. In the mean time, my Moto X is as good as a brick because I cant get my corporate email/contacts/calendar on it.
Ridiculous!

Use another client
Touchdown is my client of choice and it works great with kit Kat

Network security warning cleared also

Can you clarify 'work' - I assume this means it is sync'ing - do you still have the security warning about the certificate, or did this get cleared in your reboot/re-install cycles ?
Thanks

Just wanted to update everyone - Google has stated that the issue is fixed "in a future release". One "minor" problem - there is zero information as to which release, as well as when it is going to be rolled out.
So....as of now thousands of people using private certs on Kitkat devices are still screwed and this number is growing by the day. In order to make it more convenient to pretend like the issue is minor and insignificant, Google has blocked further comments on issue 61785 after 260 people starred it, so now users that have an issue cannot even report it.

If the issue is resolved and Google has a rollout plan for the fix, what use is there for further bug reports or reporting? It just becomes noise in their bug tracking system. Is there a purpose for yet more people to say, "hey, yeah, I have this issue too"?

Strange, I have Exchange email set up on my Moto X 4.4 and synching without issues.
After the pop-up, I accepted or ok'd. We're running a 2010 Exchange Server.

Are you using a certificate issued by a private CA for ActiveSync authentication?

Under Exchange settings, Port is 443, Security type is SSL/TLS, client certificate is None.
Strange, I thought it pushed a CA though when I completed the set up.

That's the point. This issue only affects users that are using certificates issued by private CAs for ActiveSync authentication. If you are not using certificates, you would not be affected.

Not necessarily true. I use exchange email for work and although I can set up my account I cannot receive emails. I can send sometimes. But never receive.

What you are experiencing is a separate issue, so please open a separate thread for it.
The issue being discussed here is a situation where an attempt to use private certificates for authentication while adding an Exchange Activesync account to a device running 4.4 results in a bogus "Couldn't finish. Can't connect to server." error message (while the device does not even attempt to go out and establish a connection).

There are several reasons the thread should have remained open:
1. While Google is taking their sweet time to roll out a fix, someone may find a workaround for the issue. A workaround is certainly better than a phone with no email/contains/calendar (and no, nobody wants to pay for and use those crappy 3rd party email clients).
2. Having 10,000+ people star a thread gives a great indication of how widespread the issue is, hopefully giving Google developers a hint that it needs to be prioritized and rolled out ASAP (as opposed to incorporating it into the next general patch release).
3. Since most handset vendors customize their Android build, the issue may not exist on every handset made by every manufacturer. Someone may report that a particular device is not suffering from this issue, thus making it safe to buy.
4. If and when the fixed version of Android is finally rolled out and the "fix" does not work, users have no way to report it, other than opening a brand new thread and wasting more resources.

[Q] Google Now Disabled for you domain

I do not use any sort of other domains, just my home internet and nothing else on my phone. I do not have a admin.google.com accesible account. I am not a business apps or educational apps user. I am just the regular [email protected] user and my google now 'help and feedback' says google now on my Domain has been disabled. Also, I have 4.4 KRT16S. I have no idea what happened or how it happened but it did. I have searched the internet and most of them ask to login to admin.google.com and go to settings and so on but my google account just cannot login and have the access to admin.google.com
Any help is highly appreciated. . .

Hi,
I had this problem too and there was only one way I could fix it.
Install Google Search v2.6 and update it later if you want.
Cheers.

Fix. Fix. Fix.

Yeah, did the same a couple of days back and got it back. I was hoping Google would fix the problem, waited till 4.4.2 and had absolutely nothing. The search app itself is screwed up pretty bad. Thank you for the reply though. :good::good:

Essential Phone lock-out after factory reset

Hello,
For context: My friend bought an essential phone a while back that her and her sister used for a while until supposedly an update released requiring them to sign into their google account. None of their credentials seemed to work and so they gave up on the phone all together and got new devices. My ancient LG G4 needs to be replaced and she offered me the phone if I could figure out how to get around the lock-out. At first I thought it'd be as simple as performing a factory reset or rooting the phone, etc.
Well, it turns out that they had already tried that. The lock-out persists even after a full factory reset was performed. I double-checked all of their credentials with them to make sure none of them worked. Nothing. Since I am locked out and the phone has been reset, installing rooting programs is much more difficult and I really don't know what options I have left. My only hunch at the moment is that there might be some way to use the shell on the fast loader to interface with the phone, but I doubt I'd have many permissions. I've scoured lots of forums and videos looking for new approaches, but many of them assume I have access to the phone and can install apps, etc. Does anyone have advice? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you!

Are you getting a message like "This Device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device"
If so, that is Factory Reset Protection (FRP). If the password on the Google account used on that phone was changed, it makes it even harder to solve.
I don't know if FRP can be bypassed on a PH-1. You could try searching for it.

Yes, that is exactly the message I received. At least now I know what that security measure is called. That might help me on my search. Thanks!

I was able to bypass FRP on a used Essential Phone I got from eBay, which was running PPR1.180610.091 (August 2018 Pie release, the first one ever). Most instructions seem to involve using TalkBack or GBoard input settings to navigate to the online Help & Support activity, then searching for a help page that has a YouTube video to launch Chrome from there and download a replacement Google Account Manager and another app to force browser sign-in for Google accounts.
Hopefully, those hints will be enough to help figure out which instructions you find online are legitimate.

Good to know that can work on Essential Pie, I thought it was a fake video the 1St time I saw someone doing that on some other phone!

I appreciate your advice, but I've seen that one before and it no longer works with my release. The video never loads in, can't actually be clicked on to open. I'd need a more modern approach unfortunately.
