Cannot add new google account

So I'm trying to add a new google account to my phone under settings/accounts and sync. I enter all the details but after about a minute it tells me there is a error with the data connection.
I have tried this with three different galaxy s's on both wifi and 3g...no luck on any of them.
Are the google servers down or is it something else??
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Ive had the same problem for the past 2 days : /

how about other accounts like Facebook & Tweeter? Is this the first time you're adding an account or there was a previous account that you deleted?

this was reported before
it's a bug, it only happens if you install the Samsung Push mail & IM add on

(...delete...)

there's a workaround by adding a youtube account which is linked to a google one, then it shows up in accounts and sync

here's the original topic

I deffinately havn't installed the samsung push mail & IM add on, however i still have this issue. I can't really do the settings fix anyway, as i dont want to risk root without 3BR.

SOLUTION: Facebook account internal server error

SOLUTION FOUND: LOOK AT MY 2ND POST, or 3rd POST IN THE THREAD.
Hi All,
New to the forum, apologies ahead of time for any n00bness. I am trying to connect my Facebook account (not using the android for Facebook app found in the marketplace) through the motorblur "add account" short cut, but I receive an error that states "An internal server error has occurred."
Thanks ahead of time.

I am also having this exact same issue.

Solution found
Hey, just going to respond here because I found a solution.
It looks as if i was really anal retentive about what applications facebook talked to and disallowed the use of any applications to interact with facebook. This lead to the the "Internal server error" when trying to add the facebook account to motoblur. This can be fixed using the following:
Account-> Privacy Settings-> Apps & Websites -> Edit Settings-> Turn on platform apps
This should allow you to connect to facebook. It worked for me.

Thank you! Worked perfectly.

not working seems like an issue with https which is now mandatory for using facebook! :-/

And it was necessary to dig up a dead 4+ yr old thread that is out of date due to all the fb app updates?

TBH download

I received an email today from team black hat asking me to re-download the app since it was removed from the market, but every time I put in my order number and email it says it isn't valid. Anyone else having this issue?

you dont have to redownload. p3droids tweets said that it was a download link for people that bought the app and might have lost it. the username and password are included in the email. i downloaded it and threw it in my dropbox just in case.

I tried those to and it didn't work for me, no biggie I guess seeing as how I still have it

can someone pm me his email or the email it's being sent from. I purchased the app and lost it when it was removed from the market, it was removed when I was reflashing a rom haha.

Same Here
I repurchased the TBH app and got my download page, DL the app and I get a error stating Parse error with the package??

I repurchased the app the other day and I am having the same issue. Tried everything and can't get it to work. You'd think TBH would be technically inclined enough to have a link that works.

Glad to know I'm not the only one. It finally dawned on me that the email address and order number on the email are just examples. The email also confuses things by referring to the fields as "Email:" and "Order:", but then referring back to the same fields as "UserId" and "Password".
I was able to successfully download by using my email address and the original Google order number from the purchase.

I tried to download it on stock browser and it wouldn't work. I then checked my gmail account and there it was , I clicked it and it updated on it's own.Didn't even have to put in a username or password.

Yeah, I was very glad to see the e-mail pop up in my gmail account. I thought their app was lost forever. These guys rock!

I purchased my DX a week ago and the TBH app was the only thing that didn't download. I was doing a search on the internet for that app, and even checked my older email messages to see if there was a link in it. Just when I thought I was screwed, I got the email with the link. I was wondering how they knew I was searching for that app! LOL

Anyone know how to set this up I will be letting my girlfriend and kids use my tab so I need to be able to login an out of my accounts to keep mainly my girlfriend out of my accounts like Facebook email thanks for any help

You could try an app called Invisible Protector. You can use it to lock your apps, but instead of the app showing up as locked it will show up w/ a FC error, and you can then use several different ways to access the locked app. And the only place the Protector app shows up is in the Widgets list. They also have one (Invisible Protector II) that doesn't show up at all. You have to dial a command to get to the settings.
For example I have mine setup so that when the error pops up it gives me an option to send an error report and in the next field I just enter my password and the app loads.

But there is administrator under settings but I can't get it setup
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App

That administrator option under settings I believe is to enable administrator features to certain apps - for instance allow a find my phone app to enable the GPS without going through the warning dialog, or enable a wipe app to remotely wipe the entire device's memory without confirmations if you lose it.

Ok thanks that's to bad I would love to have a guest account

Thee is a developer asking for testers for just what you are asking for look in the bottom forum section for apps and themes
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1478321
I think this is the thread
Use this with a app lock program.

That being said, there is no 'non-hackish' way to do that. While the kernel supports true multiuser, the rest of the OS doesn't. The Admin stuff in the settings is for locked-down devices integrated into corporate networks (i. e. you're only allowed to use apps approved by your boss and installed by your admin and your device gets wiped if you try to get around it... though it can be made less strict)

I also use an app to lock thing down. Only I know of

The lockdown works via certain apps that install security hooks in your device -- basically giving them the ability to remote-wipe the device or do other funny stuff without your consent. The only app I know of that acually uses this is Junos Pulse, used to access Juniper SSL VPN networks (mostly in corporate or university settings), though I guess some of the 'remote admin' capabilities of antivirus tools use the same mechanisms.
The bottom line: Your app may actually use the mechanisms I described in my earlier post. If you want to check, see settings -> location & security -> device administrators.

I noticed this post on the Gtablet site. It looks to do what you are asking for. Read down the the last post on page 1. I have not tried it yet so cant verify whether it works or not.

Unable to download any apps to my phone while on android marketplace

I just purchased a HTC EVO Shift 4g I have looked over the suggested pages to answer my question and here it is. I made the mistake of deleting the previous users email address from android marketplace. I wanted to be honest and not use it. Since then I came to find out she has something called mikmik installed. I have tried a hard reset which did nothing and I was told then phone was flashed to cricket and supposeadly rooted but from a friends knowledge there is no marketplace sign in. Any help or any questions you have please get back to me. I would love some help on this matter.
Sincerely,
A Very Noob HTC Guy

First question, is it still on Cricket? Did you sign into your Google account? That is the only way you can access the Android Market from your phone. You must be signed into a valid Google account. When yopu try to access the Market it should prompt you to sign into your Google account. The MikMik? Do you mean a MikShifted G the Rom? A hard reset will not change the Rom. If you want a different Rom, you must flash a new one.

To answer your question yes I do still have cricket also I dont know how to answer this but I am in the accounts & sync screen where google comes up is that what your referring to. Also I am using the active sync under accounts & sync and its not being very helpul. I want to say yes to you question of the Mik Shifted G the Rom. The Message I keep getting is there are no phone android phones associated with this account please sign in with a different account.

Sign in with your Google account . Then it should be all good.

Even though you deleted their email off of the android market you could have went to gmail through your phone's browser and made your own gmail account (at say gmail.com) and went to your app drawer under set up and signed in under you gmail account . You can also sign in through under accounts n sync in your settings menu . But if you did a hard reset on a rooted phone idk . Hopefully it didn't erase any of your rom . If not get you a google email account and sign in with your email address and password(same password as your gmail email account) through any of the above options and voila the android market will come to life .

A Hard Reset will not erase any of your Rom. A Hard Reset will only restore the phone to just flashed condition, or in the case of an unrooted phone to fresh out of the box.
