[Q] Adding google account problem

Hey guys,
I have a google account linked to my phone as well as an email account. its been that was fine since i got the phone. Now i am trying to add a second google account, to get the emails and it keeps saying that i have no data connection and to try wifi. so that what i do and it still doesnt work. ive tried like 15-20 times at different places and on different wifi networks and it wont sync. You fellas got any ideas on how I can fix it? oh i am rooted with clockwork installed but no actually roms or anything installed.
Thanks
Sal

This is going to sound crazy but it should work. Add your second account through the youTube app. Load up the YouTube app and hit the menu button, then try to log in with the Google account you want to add to your phone. It should now show up in accounts & sync.

WTF?? lol i was so skeptical when i read your idea i dont even have a youtube account with that email so i thought no way it was gonna work. but i tried it and it worked perfectly haha. Thanks a lot martian21.

Glad it worked! I thought the same thing as you but tried it anyway since nothing else worked. Hopefully the more people who have success with this, it will become more well know. Please share your success with others.

Thank you, was getting frustrated. This worked!

[Q] hd2 wp7 can't upload the pics to Facebook

I have a problem with facebook photos upload.
When i click on share on fackbook. The message box show
pictures are not upload...
I have sign in facebook on my phone already. But no live accounts.
Or i need live account active first?
Thank

the same problem persists for me.i even have my phone activated and have a working live ID.

maybe no one, can answer us?

well the function does work as im using it without bother, so it is either a carrier issue, facebook issue or something not setup on your phone right.
assuming you have internet access without the USB cable attached or wifi on then you can rule out carrier, facebook issues would need another phone to try, but its unlikely it would be persistant, more likely a temp glitch that should fix its self in a hour or so.
that leaves phone issues
again, assuming you have internet on your phone, id try removing that facebook pish app from the market, then remove your link to facebook on your phone, hold push to get delete option. restart and then relink your facebook account.
Next see if you have access to facebook details on your phone, friends, news wall etc, again do this without wifi or USB, use your carrier. Finally try uploading a small low quality pic and see what happens

Maybe it's your internet? try uploading it up wifi and see if that works.

It working now . I just delete fb link and restart my phone and link to fb account again everything is working now... Thank u all...

I'm having the same issue right now. Happened when I switched roms. Tried unlinking Facebook and restarting phone but still won't work. Worked perfectly before. Also won't show my Facebook albums in my pic albums anymore. Any other ideas?

Did you just restart your phone or was it a hard reset? I tried unlinking and restarting my phone, but it didn't help.

Gotta bump this up again, would really like to find a solution to this.

Gmail app isn't showing 's correctly in from field.

Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue here. I've had issues recently with Gmail syncing so I went in and cleared out the application data to get to sync again, which worked. But now any e-mail, where the from field has 's in it, like Papa John's. It instead is showing Papa John's. I've tried clearing cache and dalvik cache on my device and clearing the application data from gmail again but it still shows up. Of course the from field shows up fine on gmail.com. I'm on the Gingerbread stock ROM from x99. Trying to see if anyone has any options before I do a factory reset, thanks .

Have you updated to the newest GMail app? There is a 2.3.5.2 GMail app. I'm not sure if this would work on the stock Gingerbread ROM though.

Yup already on the latest version of gmail.

Go to manage applications -> gmail -> force stop -> clear cache and reopen gmail.
Also try changing the sync time from 4 days to 3 days and run a sync from acounts -> sync -> google -> menu -> "sync now".
If that doesn't work, force stop again, clear cache and clear data and try.
If that doesn't work try running fix permissions from ROM Manager. If that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling GMail.
If that doesn't work try installing the old 2.3.5 version.
I've had it where I was on a call and hit send on an email and gmail would get stuck on "sending.." for that message and couldn't do anything with it. First 2 steps was the only real way to get around it. I wasn't even able to open the message in my outbox and save it as a draft.
Let me know if that helps.

Well I tried all of your suggestions man and still the same thing is happening. I even went as far as to do a factory reset and setup my gmail account and the same thing happened. At this point I'm thinking it must not have anything to do with my phone huh?

Probably. Could you please describe the problem more? Is the phone not adding 's after certain words? screen shot? something?

Well the only place that the 's isn't showing up correctly is in the From field. Everywhere else in the e-mail it'll show up fine. And the only e-mails I get so far with 's in the from field is Papa John's or Wendy's. So instead they'll show up as Papa John's or Wendy's. And when you click on the e-mail, where the from shows up in green it'll look the same.

Hey VICODAN, actually don't worry about it man. I found a thread on the google mobile help forums and it seems google is looking into the issue.

There's a link that explains what it looks like, but like I said don't worry about it, thanks for your assistance .

Facebook notifications not working

Facebook push notifications aren't coming through on my phone only on my Facebook account, if I login on another account they work fine. I've tried to logout, login, reinstall facebook, clear data/cache, turned off platforms, turned off and on notifications, restarted my phone several times, cleared all online sessions. What do, halp plz

Only on your account?
are you running OOS? if so try disabling and enabling notification access in Privacy settings.(I guess)

I'm on SGS5 and I know this isn't the thread for my phone, but I'm at my wits end and want a solution. I'm sure it's not the phone, but the Facebook account itself.
The deactivate/reactivate didn't work for me on my main account that isn't getting push notifications. Funny thing is I wanted to see if it was just the app or the account, so I made a new Facebook account to test the push notifications on that. Push notifications for the app work with the test account, but not with my daily main account (same phone, same app on phone). I have tried everything under the sun. I've tried the BB thing, turned platform thing off, uninstall/reinstall, cleared cache and data, removed every attached app, literally everything I can think of and/or find online. I think something is not allowing my main account to receive push notifications, like they're being sent to an old phone (which there is no other devices logged in) or some chrome extension or app/program I attached to my Facebook has ****ed it all up. I haven't had push notifications in probably probably 3 years, on my SGS2 and nothing on my SGS5 I got 2 years ago... Sorry for ranting, but I just wish it would work. Do you think my main Facebook account is attached to a very Old Android Device ID?

Mine started working again out of nowhere. I didn't do anything I just left it like that and one day I woke up and I had facebook notifications. It is probably a problem with Facebook itself, the only option is probably to wait it out

Facebook application is kind of headache. It didn't accept previous version of Oxygen OS. They finally worked it out. It is application's problem. Try installing previous versions. It should work in that way.

It's not the app, it's the account. I know this because I created a new account and tested the push notifications on that account. The push notifications work on the test account, but not my main account. Same app, phone and settings throughout Facebook. One thing I did notice was on the test account, the Facebook ID (example: [email protected]) is greyed out under primary account with my email selected as primary. Where as on my main account, it's just my email under primary.

I have the exact same problem as you, I've also tried everything and nothing has worked, and I did the same experiment with another account and the push notifications worked with that other account, but nothing with mine.
I'm honestly very frustrated 'cause I can't find the reason for all this and no one seems to know what's causing it. I'm thinking that it may have something to do with some extension I installed in the past or something like that, but I really have no idea, I'm going nuts over this, specially when other people say they were able to solve it by doing this or that, but I've also done this and that and nothing works.

I think it was a Chrome Extension as well. I believe it started happening when I started using a Facebook Chrome extension. I believe it was this one, but I can't sign out of it anymore. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/...ome/gdalhedleemkkdjddjgfjmcnbpejpapp?hl=en-US

Reinstalling or uninstalling the Extension fixed the push notifications for your acct? I uninstalled the extension a LONG time ago, and cleared all connected apps and what not. I remember the old version had you actually connect it to your Facebook by signing in, but I could never "sign-out" and I did uninstall and the notifications never came back. The options page is just blank when I go to it > chrome-extension://gdalhedleemkkdjddjgfjmcnbpejpapp/options.html

GMAIL push notification issues?

Has anyone else been having any issues with this? I seem to only be able to get new mail when I manually check the app.
I've tried:
making sure sync is enabled
clearing gmail app cache
clearing google app cache
turning off power saving mode
deleting/adding my gmail account
uninstalling/updating the app
I put my old phone on the same wifi network as my new S8 and the old phone gets the push notifications. This makes me feel like it's not an issue with the google account, but rather some setting on the phone.

I'm in the same boat here and I have no idea what to do and I need them push notifications. If some one comes up with a solution about please I've done everything what the main posts says also

Not sure if you only have the issue on wifi, but roaming is turned off by default which might explain the behaviour on 4g. Gmail itself works fine for me. Did you enable the notifications in the phone settings?

I'm having this issue as well does anyone know a fix?
I have emails that are hours late that don't even notify me unless I manually refresh

I removed my 3 gmail accounts
Then added them back
I am now receiving push mail from 2 email accounts
The third one, I haven't receive emails yet today, so cannot say if push is working or not.

i done everything now, i reset my network settings even, it worked for about a day after that, and now it does not work again, any ideas guys i am missing lots of emails. Have 2 s8's in the family both have the same problem (EU variant here)

When you get new phone it's better to fresh install apps rather than transfer over. Reduces issues I've found in past.

Try putting gmail in Not optimized Apps (menu in battery usage)

I was having this issue myself and then i discovered that the Notification for Gmail had been turned off. Might not help every one but to check it
LONG PRESS GMAIL>APP INFO>Scroll down to App Settings
It kept turning back off so I had to turn it on and then back all the way to home and reboot for it to stick. Hope this helps!

no i done that, i done it i think it the very begging it was like my first idea or so, but the idea the person posted before you might actually do the trick

This is not new issue. I've had the same on SGS7e and didn't find a solution. This is why I've moved to "Inbox by Gmail", successor of "Gmail".
It's almost the same, even better than Gmail. Let it try guys, you won't be disappointed.

Issue here also... Anyone tried turning off battery optimization for the app?

I resolved this by removing the accounts, then adding them back.

had the same problem for the past 2 or 3 days. it originally was working fine. I checked every setting known to man, and it magically started working again.
I was originally not getting any push notifications but also realized that it was showing "queuing" everytime i sent an email so there was definitely an issue with it pushing things out too
