So when I first booted up my 920 I was asked to sign in to live using the email I log into xbox with (i use gmail) so I did and everything showed up and work except when I try and DL something from the market place, it keeps saying it needs email/acct verification and to check my gmail. I have checked every nook and cranny looking for an email in my gmail and see nothing?
any thoughts?
thanks
It keeps saying my hotmail pw is incorrect if I go into settings--accounts.....its obviously not a hotmail account, but it is the account I use to sign into xbox live
You now have a Microsoft-Account that is using a GMail-Address for identification. You could try going to www.outlook.com and log in with your Microsoft Account (Gmail-Address + Password) there. I can't imagine the verification mail could have ended up there but it's the only thing I can think of right now.

Well ive pretty much given up on getting my gmail pushed to my 8125 since nothing has seemed to work so i was just going to go back to using outlook to check my mail every 5 minutes. This used to work when i first set it up but i tried it today and whenever i hit send/receive it never brought up any messages even though i just sent it from my yahoo account. I then deleted the gmail account off of the phone and re-set it up. I sent a test message from my yahoo account, hit send/receive, and it showed up. I then sent a test message from my comcast account and it showed up also, one problem though....the first message from my yahoo account dissapeared. I thought it was strange so i hit send/receive again and the second message i sent to myself from comcast also dissapeared. Im not deleting the messages off of the servers or anything, they just dissapear whenever i hit send/receive. Im getting really fed up with trying to set up my email account and im very tempted to just go back to my treo....
I know the feeling...
I have a T-mobile MDA and I have the same problem with gmail. When I first set it up I had 200+ emails then everytime I did a send/receive I would loose some until finally I lost all of them. I tried downloading straight from gmail and the same thing happened. Now I can't get anything when I send/Receive. According to T-mobile this is a known issue with gmail...they said that gmail is still a beta setup and their pop settings don't always work. I have since just had my gmail forwarded and it seems to work..atleast I know that it is there
Well I don't know if this exactly a fix....but I use gmail as my main account and I just have my gmail forwarded to an exchange account I have. I mean...I do have to prune two accounts but, as for now, its the only soloution I have.
Hi all
Sorry if this is not an appropriate place to ask, but please let me know of somewhere more suitable if not.
I've got two google accounts bound to my N1. One is a google apps premier account (which I use for email sync) and a normal googlemail account (which I use for calendar and contacts sync).
I use Gtalk on my desktop PC's for the first account (premier apps) and not on the second one, however when I fire up Gtalk on my N1 it is using the second account and not the one I want! I have not found an option to change this behaviour.
Does anyone know how to change which account Gtalk uses on the N1?
Thanks
Android will use the account you entered first. I entered my google apps account first then the gmail account and if I now try to remove the gmail account it says I can't. This is because android has bound the gmail account to the services not supported on google apps accounts.

Hm. I added my gmail account first and then the gapps one. I too found that if I try and remove an account it wants me to factory reset my phone and lose all data/config! This is pretty crappy.
I'm hoping someone can come up with a hack or something to change this behaviour regarding gtalk as I certainly don't want to reset my phone simply to get gtalk working.
I think a reset is the only way for now :-/
This is really poor. Google have slipped up somewhat with annoyances like this
hmm... i've the same problem .. then all we can do is wait
My current workaround is to use the eBuddy application, which is working just fine.
Probably off topic, but has anyone had complaints from their regular buddies about the phone causing frequent disconnects/reconnects to their chat client? One of mine got so annoyed by the alerts that he has cut me off... (using pidgin with my primary gmail account)
(I'm guessing that it happens when I'm connected via wi-fi and voice calls come in... ? ) Does anyone have any settings suggestions for either 1) staying connected or 2) having it just wake up when needed?
I think you can go into Manage Applications in Settings, hit menu and then filter, then select All. Clear the data for Gapps and Gmail, and then reboot. If you do it right, it should ask you to login again like it did when you first turned your phone on. Login with whichever account you want to use Gtalk with.
I have been trying to set up the hotmail account.
I've tried a couple of times and eventually got an account set up. Then trying it last night, it just decided that it didn't want to connect.
So i tried to delete the old one but it wont let me as its greyed out.
So i created a new one, hoping that the old one will become active and allow me to delete the old one.
Now when i go into the account settings, my yahoo accounts are active and can be deleted, but the 2 hotmail account, one account called hotmai the new one called hotmail.com are just greyed out.
What can i do to make the hotmail account active so that i can delete it?
i am having the same problem too.
I have used an workaround (first create hotmai then edit to hotmail) to add 2 hotmail acco
unts on the device, but there is no way to remove it.
I take it that no one has come across this problem before?
or have i put this is the wrong place?
I found that I could create the account using the "Windows Live" application, and everything was simpler from there.

+1. Sod it +100!
Windows live allows you to set up 1 hotmail account with minimal effort and also gives you push email ability. Unless you want multiple hotmail accounts then you shouldn't be doing it any other way.

thats fine, but what would a person do if they already have 2 hotmail accounts and the accounts are greyed out so that deleting them normally isn't an option?? Any suggestions?
i had same problem. rebooted phone and windows live logon screen came straight up. entered password and mail updated.
Still cant delet the hotmail account though...still greyed out

SO,
Just wondering... I was just looking on an EVO forum to see if anyone had started getting their 2.2 roll out and noticed a thread titled:
Gmail still not syncing reliably on EVO...
Post #4 suggests that gtalk triggers gmail syncing. Now I use a true gmail account so checkout etc... all work on my phone, but my primary email is a google apps account (mydomain.com). I have my primary gmail account set to not actually sync anything, and my apps account syncing all three options.
The whole Froyo single sign on/ attaching gtalk/gapps to the first gmail account and not allowing my apps account to log into talk seems like a valid reason that would cause my non (pure) gmail account to be pushing correctly.
Does this make sense, is there any validity to it?

edit: So, some testing. I disabled forwarding (in gmail web) for my [email protected] account and ENABLED gmail sync on that account.
Sending email to that account is pushing to my phone just fine. with or without gtalk signed in, and it's even working after I killed the gtalk app via systempanel.
I am NOT however getting pushed email to my secondary account (google apps) [email protected] google apps account.
Something weird is going on.
I'm surprised there hasn't been more on this.
I have 2 separate gmail accounts on my phone and it seems that I only get updates for emails that get sent to the primary gmail account (the first account that was used to set up the phone initally). Any mail that gets sent to the second account doesn't get updated until after I hit the 'Sync Now' button in the menu.
I just had a friend with an EVO on stock 2.1 update 1 test this. He also uses google apps, and actually only had his gmail setup on his phone.
He added his apps account, and set gmail to sync.
I sent him a test message and he got it right away. I know that my phone also worked correctly before going to 2.2. Now, in 2.1 for ME I used gtalk with my google apps ID, where as my friend has his setup with his gmail.com account (the way I'm forced to do in 2.2 right now).
Ok right now at 10:20pm my gmail is pushing instantly (at least for new mail) noticing that if I read the mail on the phone/PC the update is not making it back to the other very quickly. I read/deleted the test message about 3 minutes ago, and the phone still believes there's a new message there.
At first I thought it was because I am hom and on WIFI, however I disconnected, and sent another test. It's working the same on 3G.
I seriously noticed this tonight as I was sending myself a link to the how-to downgrade HBOOT so I could get rid of the OTA radio updat and go back to 2.1... hanging on a bit longer now I guess
Edit: Literally, as soon as I hit the post button, the icon disappeared on my phone so its slow but working
As of yesterday, My gmail account on my phone shows no mail at all. I have deleted and recreated the account. It says the certificate is not valid and asks me if i want to continue on my first send and receive after that, but I still get no mail. My Gmail account has mail, I can access it from the pc no problem. If I send to myself it appears in my inbox on the pc. I have no clue of what else to check

The invalid certificate issue is almost always caused by the host computer (in this case, your phone) having the incorrect date. If you phone says it's 2012, any certificate that expires in 2011 will automatically be considered expired and thus invalid.
If you are dual-booting Android, your phone's date will be set in the future. Not sure why this happens, but it does every time for me.
Thanks! that was exactly it! This forum rocks!
