Lost access to GMail

Hey all
I just had a strange problem with my Vibrant. Perhaps someone can help.
I don't know if this is the correct forum to put this in... if not, apologies and feel free to move it.
For the record I am running Vibrant9 on the phone, and everything has been running beautifully for a few weeks.
This morning, in fact, everything was running just fine. Then, all of a sudden, my phone lost all connectivity, both mobile networks and 3G. I rebooted the device, and the mobile network and 3G seemed to come back, but now it will not connect to my google accounts. I get messages saying either the account has changed, or the password is wrong for both accounts.
Web seems to be working over 3G, and I can make calls, but I cannot look up e-mail, and I get notifications saying my google accounts are failing to connect.
I'm not sure how to move forward with this, and I've never seen anything like it. I can log into my google accounts on my PC just fine, so the accounts and the passwords are OK... seems to be the phone.
I will keep looking, but has anyone seen anything like this before ? Anyone have this happen in the last 10 minutes ??
Any help appreciated.

Well I'm facing the same issue. Can't sync my mail, no apps can be.downloaded from market...its a issue.from Google.side I guess.

Until I can get 2.2 installed, I've given up on the existing gmail app that comes with 2.1. The gmail market app that is published recently is only 2.2 compatible. I've been using K9 for both gmail and my imap account and been far more pleased with it.

Really ? That's interesting. So google's mobile connections might be down ?
I can't find anything about that online... anyone else wanna weigh in ? Is this just a problem for every android handset ?
How frustrating.

Are you able to log into gmail on a computer? I had that same message the other day. Wasn't able to connect, my account had changed or password was wrong. Turned out, at 4 am there was spam sent from my gmail to 5 of my contacts. Gmail caught it and made me revise my password. After that, all is back to normal with market, gmail, etc...

Good thought, but I can actually log into gmail from my phones browser just fine with the same address and password.
Still have the same problem. Can log in to my mail using the other android email app. Just not the default app. Market broken, and anything needing that google account.
If others aren't having the problem, then it must be me, but I'm damned if I know what it is.
Might try restoring my nandroid backup.
Any other thoughts?

Odd. That may be your best bet...

Hi I just started having the same problem as well. Computer based gmail is working fine, but I can't access my two accounts through the gmail appand my mobile network connection seems to be down.
Edit: mobile network is back, but my accounts still aren't connecting.

Ok I just resolved this problem. Guess how?
I restored the nandroid backup that I took yesterday. Working fine now.
And what has changed since I took this backup? Only that I installed the overclocking kernel released yesterday... Could it be that?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

Ok strange new symptom.
My nandroid backup doesn't replace the kernel, so I'm still overclocked and still running the new kernel.
However, since restoring now my google accounts seem to work (market ok, voice ok etc.), I can receive email, but not send it.
This is really troubling. Anyone have any similar problems, or ideas?
EDIT : The kernel I flashed yesterday is "[KERNEL] [2.6.29] [Flashable-.zip] [BFQ] [Oc] [Uv] #1 "Finally" '9.8 Linpack!'", which as far as I can tell is the only difference since this started happening.

Hi.
Bought my Samsung Vibrant a few days ago and I have not been able to log in to my google account. Due to this I have not been able to use any app or game...
Can someone please guide me on how to resolve this issue? I will be really greatful!
Thanks a lot!

Whats wrong with contacts, 351,

I was out in the middle of nowhere today and had to turn off data, restarted the phone cause it was acting funny. Added a contact and got a list to add it to the phone or account. I chose gmail contact.
Now my contacts seem to be sluggish. I notice it in texting, openning a conversation, the images flash like its lagging to load the contacts images.
Ive restarted a few times and its not fixing it. I send a text in a already going conversation and the contact images flash as though its reloading them, including mine in the "ME" contact

I get a text and the contact images flash, even mine
Something i just remember also. At one point today it seemed the contacts where lost and it only displayed phone numbers, including mine

Ok its not just me then! However, i had not noticed this happening before this out in the middle of nowhere issue today.

I did have a bit of issues getting my contacts to load from similar, after I first updated. I decide to clear all data from the contacts apparently, then just install all the contacts from googlemail. Now it all works fine.

How do you clear all data from contacts? I was thinking remove the account reboot and add the account again.
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App

OK scratch that. I can't remove the account. It wont let me
Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA Premium App

I just went into phone settings then applications, then running apps then click on contacts and click clear data.

Screw it. I'm gonna reset tonight and redo the whole thing. Clearing that and resyncing did nothing. I just had a moment where I had no contact names listed in texting, just phone numbers. Just before I tried that clearing.

Will you let us know if a reset solves this? I am having the same issue.
Thanks

I reset 351 and just signed into google account, synced and still had the issue. Im back on 318 and looking for a way to disable the update notifacations for 351.

How big is your dialer storage under manage applications? If its over a couple mb's you need to go through your texts and delete the mms/pictures people have sent you. Mine got up to 20mb's at one point, phone was laggy as hell. If you don't care to retain Txt's you could just clear the dialer storage......

same prob here. this "improved" suxx0r big time!

Tried 354 and same problem. I don't understand why there aren't more complaints about this. Or maybe we are doing something wrong?

are you restoring your apps and whatever after update from titanium backup? I noticed the issue after updating from titanium backup, before i ran this just after i'd updated the contacts where working fine. But obviously I needed to update all my apps, after i'd ran the titanium restore it all went wrong. Maybe try restoring you contacts through titanium again see if that sorts it out?

I do not restore anything. I use appmonster pro to reinstall all of my apk's and sync to google for my contacts. The only thing i import is bookmarks for browser. I do all of the same stuff with 318 on 2 sets and they dont have the problems

streakmod 1.9 is very stable and is pretty quick with the perfmod on, maybe try that?

Oh really I think titanium backup is the best thing I've ever purchased on the market, would have been gutted if I'd lost all my angry birds high scores!

I face the same problem.
I think this started form the 2.2.2 version.

Moving from WM (HTC Sense) to the Atrix, email seems missing

So I'm new having just moved to Android from WM, and have configured all my accounts on the phone (that's 7 email accounts under Accounts), now my problem is simple I see no way to actual see existing messages in the inbox's, when I get a mail it shows up in notifications, but other than the gmail accounts (all 5 of which are available from the gmail app if separately), getting to the yahoo, msn or aol accounts (mostly used of IM, but mail does go to them some times) is just not easy. I really expected more from Android when it comes to email accounts. I've seen programs like Enhanced Email or Pure Messenger in the market place, but before I went and sent money, I thought I'd ask if there was something I'm missing built in or free?
On the same note I'm finding the Widgets that are provided for Google voice, are ugly and others say for email are simply not present at all. All of this is making me miss my HTC Sense interface on WM. However there I'd expect solutions for all of these issue, which is what I'm looking for.
Thanks,
ERIC

You'll find all your emails in the messaging app

I know the app you are suggesting, but so far it always says no emails, yet the gmail app shows well over a hundred, so as far as I can tell its not working, also like to crash on me, so I do not think it is a solution.
Thanks,
ERIC

You can try K9-Mail for an e-mail client. Works amazing for me.

have you configured the email accounts in their respective sections in MESSAGING app as has already been suggested? the app works fine here, so if you are having problems, factory reset and try again. i dont really understand what the problem is. your question originally was how to access them, then when told how to access them you say it's not working. if its not working, start there and figure out WHY its not working......THAT would be your problem, wouldnt it?

not trying to be hostile or funny here, but if you love HTC Sense, you do know there are plenty of androids running HTC sense right?
or you can wait for a HTC Sense ROM

I have five accounts running with no problem. Try a factory reset like someone else suggested.

By default its only set to sync the past 3 days of mail. Go into account settings from the messaging app and bump it up to 30 days. 30 days is the max which is a bummer. On my past win mobile you could tell it to sync all mail.

Problem with Exchange email in built in app

I have a problem with the built in email app on the Galaxy Note 3 (SM-9005).
I use the built in email app with an Exchange account for work. Since day one it has been working flawlessly.
Yesterday, all of a sudden, new email doesn't show up in the mail app. Email arrives as it should to the account when I check it at the computer. When I try and manually update in the app, the time stamp for "last updated" in the upper right hand corner doesn't change. It does however seem to try and check every once in a while, since the time stamp updates during the course of the day.
I have tried to change the password on the account and the phone, but it doesn't help.
I have also tried removing the account altogether and then adding it again. That doesn't help either. What's even more strange is that the email will sync back to the device when the account is readded, up until yesterday. No email from yesterday or after shows up.
None of my colleagues experience the same problem, but most if them are sporting iPhones.
I can't think of anything in particular that I have installed lately that might bring this problem along.
Does anyone recognise this problem, or even better, know how to fix it?
Thanks!

Really, no one recognises this? Strange problem. Still haven't solved it. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Did you frozen or deleted the magazine app? If you done that then email brakes.

Really? I might have done that, but I don't think so. What exactly is the app called? Could you post a screenshot of är the icon. It would be much appreciated!

[FIX] Yahoo Mail - Could Not Sign In

Hey all,
I was having issues with my Moto X alerting me that it could not sign in to my Yahoo account. However, when I would go into the app, it would function correctly without me logging back in or taking any action. But, the notifications were annoying as it was happening at least once per day.
Anyway, I played around with the account settings and was able to remedy the issue, or so I believe. The fix is pretty darn easy...
- Go into either the mail app itself or go into system settings, click on the Email account, then account settings
- Click on your email address [email protected] to adjust those preferences
- Scroll all the way down and click on Incoming Settings, under the Server heading it should read: Android.imap.yahoo.com
- Remove the "Android." piece of the phrase, so it should now read: imap.yahoo.com
- Click Done
- Repeat these steps under the Outgoing Settings as well and your issue should be resolved
Let me know if this works for you, or if you continue to have issues, thanks.

Fine, good work's it. I am already done it.. thanks

Unfortunately yahoo has been doing this with android for years and no combination of settings will fix the random sign in errors. It can go weeks or even months between episodes for me.

Android is Google and Gmail......no surprise yahoo might have issues. LOL.

You are right. It really has nothing to do with settings. It's on Yahoo's end not our phones. I ve been getting that sign in error ever since my 1st android phone (Htc hero) so i am used it by now. It comes and goes away.

Interesting. I have always been able to modify the incoming and outgoing settings to remedy the issue. I will let everyone know if this works long term. Thanks for the info.

I am a few days into this correction and have yet to receive any notice from the phone / Yahoo / mail app that I could not be signed into Yahoo. Not waving the flag yet, but for those of you who were having this issue, it may well be a simple and permanent fix.

Hope it works for you, this error happens randomly and intermittently so I just live with it and have transitioned most things to gmail.

Yeah, multiple days into the experiment now and still working as advertised.

After over a month of use, I can now 100% confirm this fix. I have not had any issues since the day I made the change to the settings. So if anyone is still having this issue, please feel free to use the info provided in the first post.

Glad it worked for you, only temporary fix for me. I broke down and installed the Yahoo mail app again. Its gotten much better and does not destroy the battery any more.
