Gmail does not update!

I have set up my gmail to check for email every 2 hours. I get a pop up showing my user Id and password and connect. When I click on OK, I get an error not able to connect to the server. This problem does not persist for more than few hours. For no good reason, I will have updated email after several hours.
I am unable to send any email from my HTC Tilt2 for the above reasons. Any help?
Thank you

Have you configured smtp etc in wm and configured your account at gmail?
There is a good guide if you login at gmails website..

i started a thread about this in the general forum and at ppcgeeks not getting a lot of help though
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572157
the ppcgeeks link is on that thread. if you add to it maybe people will see that its possibly an issue and not just one phone that has a bug

did you follow these steps:

Thank you for the link. But, the problem persists. It keeps asking me to verify the Id and password till I hot cancel button. But, after few hours, I see new mail. unfortunately, I can not use the account for sending the email from my phone.

yeah i did, if you check my thread i say that it worked initially but it slowly stops working and takes longer and longer between automatic updates until it bascially stops even manually updating

Gmail not working
Mine was doing something like that where it would constantly ask me to verify the password saying it was wrong. I changed the password 4 times on my computer with no luck. I gave up and created a new gmail account and it worked the first time.

I created new gmail account as well, but no luck. it will update whenever it wants to. No manual updating possible most of the times.

This work for me. Use PHM RegEdit (or another registry editor) make a back-up of your registry. And then restore the backup file and do a softreset. I have no idea why this works but it does and I've done it twice. *I know this is late but I just saw this.

i read somewhere it had to do when trying to update using WIFI. I havent tested it or checked but i was having this problem also. so annoying!

Twitter Problem?

Hi guys - I hate to have to write about another prob i'm having with this phone, even though i'm loving it so far (i'm hoping it's user issue).
I can't get the thing to log in via the twitter app/program? just throwing up a could not log in error.
and I did have it working and logged in the other day.
since then i've reset my phone a couple of times due to email issues I had (they weren't receiving and sending either)
Not sure why twitter doesn't let me log in now? the net works fine - facebook app logged in fine too.
Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem and already started a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=586004
It seems to work fine on wi-fi but not 3G

Hmm yea you're right - I'm home now, and I can access my emails and twitter via wi-fi, but not 3G, it did work yesterday, but no idea why not now
it's quite a shame really, really nice phone - but all this is really, an annoyance. it shouldn't be this difficult.
I hope they come out with some kind of fix, so that, whatever details you input (being correct) just work.

T mobile? Remove the proxy in the internet settings, for any other blocks also register your phone on their site and remove the child filter. Experiment with the putting the proxy back on IF the child filter doesnt work, but give it a few hours.
If not T mobile im not so sure but Vodafone also have a child filter.

Rovex, hello - thanks for your reply and suggestions, I shall give it a go!
*edit - pretty sure my child filter is off, will check it again though.
yup, on t-mobile UK.

What's the proxy for if you can get away without it, why do they have it on there at all?
Great bit of advice though. Removing the proxy got my Twitter working now. I've just got to wait for the child lock to come off so I can play with YouTube
Maybe that'll solve the not GMail syncing mail problem too? fingers crossed.

Rovex, top man, that worked a treat! (un-checking the proxy).

YouTube does NOT login

YouTube does not login says Connection Error - There was a connection error trying to login.
I thought it would be nice to automatically upload the videos to YouTube but going to settings and data services then choosing YouTube it insists there is a connection problem but I surf just fine and am always connected to 3g. anyone knows what is the problem? Thanks.

yeah same problem on mine hd2 when i'm trying to upload video directly from albums i get the same message, looking for answer for whole day - still nothing...any ideas guys?

I had the same problem when trying to log into the facebook data sync feature when I first got the phone. Basically I think your problem is that your youtube password has symbols in it, because my old facebook password had symbols in it when I tried to log in it would say "connection error" but then if I tried to log in with an incorrect password it said "incorrect password" so I changed my facebook password so it was just letters and numbers and it worked on the first time I tried,
hope this helped you,
Alex

i had t-mobile and it does not accept youtube login. moreover there is no youtube support as well... checkout this http://ibuymobile.co.uk/reviews/2010/02/06/t-mobile-uk-rips-htc-hd2-customers/

Nope that is not the problem, I changed my password to 8 chars digits only still doesn't work at all. I gotta say this is my 4th and probably last HTC device. There are always irritating bugs in HTC software in most basic features. Damn it, the YouTube login is an internal feature of HTC software and even that doesn't work, these guys are really something. What's the use in having features if I cannot use them like the youtube, which woule have been nice uploading videos directly to YouTube.

Calm down mate. It works perfectly for me and everyone else most of the time. Occassionaly, there will be an issue with the YouTube servers that stops the app functioning fully. It's nothing to do with the app or HTC, so get onto YouTube and complain to them, because that's where the problem is. Otherwise, it wouldn't be intermittent. It just wouldn't work, or it would.

mine has never worked

There are similar complains about the YouTube account access not working in many other forums, mostly from users who have switched to 1.66 ROMs. As a matter of fact, it does not work for me either through the settings tab/data services.
On the other hand, I can easily log into my YouTube account through Opera...

can you upload through opera?

if you log into your tmobile account page you can turn content filtering off , then un tick use a proxy server under connection on you phone and it will work a treat

i dont have t-mobile and when i started my HD2 for the first time i also got that error.. after rom upgrade to 1.66 the same.. my password is only letters and 1 number so that cant be the problem.

johncmolyneux please get your facts right.
It is NOT a problem with youtube and it didn't work for the past 3 days. So I doubt it's a problem with their servers don't you think?
Also see what others are saying like Tomo1340 which says it never worked for him also. tictac0566 says the same thing and also jamieeeee. So I am not hallucinating and this is not a very specific problem.
It's just another bug by HTC. I can't believe these guys, when they release a new ROM they fixed some issues and then create others. Amazing, how such an apparent bug missed their eyes. In which from their very own app trying to login to YouTube doesn't work.
It would have been very nice to able to capture a video and instantely upload it to the YouTube through the camcorder app, wouldn't it?
May I also say that I have two HD2, one for me and one for my wife. I have tested it after hard reset with no app installed at all and it still doesn't work! Amazing.. By the way, I am not using T-Mobile and my password is just 8 digits.

Fine. Good luck with your anti-HTC campaign. I DID get my facts right and you simply didn't like it.
Think I'll go and upload some vids to YouTube now. Bye

there is a problem though, I hadn't managed to upload a single file or even connect on any of the roms I have used. my password is 12 characters with no symbols. is one supposed to login with a google email address that's linked to YouTube or a user name?

The Youtube function in Sense just doesn't work at all. You'd better simply use the browser.

john says his works. you can email the files through but I don't know how well it works.

Like I said, it's fine for me. It may be a provider issue, but it's definitely not HTC software at fault here.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AqVH9sOyh7g

doesn't work over WiFi for me.

It does not work with me either. Whenever I try to upload to youtube it says there is some connection error. Using opera to login to youtube works like a charm.
My password is very long (more than 20 characters) and I think that this could be the problem. But I do not want to change my password, because it's the same password as for gmail and I have set this account on multiple computers and on the HD2.
The way around is to use email - YouTube -> My Account -> Account Settings -> Mobile Setup. There you can find a unique email address to which you can send the video. Just add that email address as a contact and send the video to it when you want to upload to youtube. Works perfectly...

works fine for me on everyrom I've tried..
I suspect it's an isp blocking thing, maybe a proxy interfering.

My doomed twitter problem

I hope someone here can help me since i am so desperate after searching many forums, anyway i'll try summarize it as much as i can :
- my desktop twitter log in working.
- my x10 browser log in working.
- x10 opera mini log in working.
- desktop applications like tweetdeck and cotweet which require authorization working too..
- any twitter application for android isn't working, Twiteroid, etc even timescape tells me invalid account information,
Twiteroid tells my it can't authorize the account ( and its not the one hour problem that happens due to wrong password )
- i've tried revoking all access from all program but again no use..
Any ideas ?
sent from my x10i that is banging for a 2.1 upgrade. ...

there are loads of twitter apps out there for android
SWIFT
TWIDROID
TWITPRO
SEESMIC
TWICCA
and my personal favorite TWEETCASTER
check your user name and password again when entering it ...sometimes when using swype or slide it you can accidentally rely on it too much for accuracy and it will add in a word you previously entered incorrectly!
I have also noticed with passwords and emails if you have AUTO word space set up in SWYPE you can end up with a space where you do not need it and not see this glitch until it rejects your userame/password!
edit additional If your using a Googlemail or Gmail acct for your email then try re registering with a different email address sometimes GOOGLE mail account can cause headaches and not allow access to some stuff ... the android market being one will not accept an @gmail acct and needs you to use an @googlemail this is due to them offering the googlemail to gmail switch a month or so back!

TWIDROID, SEESMIC, TWICCA all not working
i can't be writing my username and password wrong for 2 days now comon
besides i log in normally on the web browser which makes me more confused
i tried log in with the username and not the Email and still no use..
it just keeps me going crazy..

There was a similar thread that I responded to on SE's own forum. I gave all the normal suggestions but none worked. In the end the lady concerned said she had to restart (?) her whole phone and lost her contacts so I think she did a factory restore on it. But that did solve the Twitter problem.
I think this is a problem that has occured in the last few days because I also noticed another couple of threads on there about the same thing. I asked the other poster to pay it forward and give a description of exactly what she did to resolve it. Sadly at this point she hasn't done so.

Hey suzed,
I sure remember your name from the se forum, you have like million post there
Anyway, i would like to make a factory reset my last resort since i am not rooted and dont want to, i wish i could solve this confusing problem, i even cant figure out if its twitter sided or mobile sided error, wait a min. I have an idea , Am gonna try another account and see where it goes...
I will post back soon.

Yeah I know I need to get a life Sadly its a bit addictive trying to help people, bugs the cr*p out of me when I can't help especially on something that should be so flipping simple.

before you resort to desperate measures... try going into settings/ applications/ manage applications/ timescape/ clear data.. and Then do the same for timescape plug in manager and timescape provider.. then do the same for any Twitter apps you have.
You'll need to set those up again, but it might just do the trick!

nope, still no hope, i can't believe it, i have to do a full wipe for twitter .. lame ..

Hi mezo, the person on the SE forum did confirm this morning that is was a factory reset that did the trick (I get email notifications on that one - oh dear lord I need a life) but what a pain in your rear end just to get it working.

Wow you are fast, i just that notification 15 min ago too
Its just too early here, i guess i'll give it a try after backing up everything.
Will let you know how it goes...

still, not solved, i posted there in the same topic intesd of talking in two threads on two separate forums.

Right Just thought of something you need to change your APN settings from AUTOMATIC to manual and choose your provider MANUALLY!
I kinda vaguely remember having a similar issue when I used GERMAN EU firmware before finding the proper UK unbranded generic firmware

First off thank you for the prompt reply. I tried that website but everytime I time I try and have it send me a password reset email it doesn't pop up in my gmail. Also even more confusing is that it won't let me set up a new account. It keeps saying server error..
Any ideas? The fact that I can't get past this one screen is REALLY frustrating lol

I had a heck of a time setting up my wifes. Just kept trying and it finally went through.

Thanks all I got it working. It was my old motoblur account. For some reason I couldn't use it, and I couldn't set up a new account under the same email account either. They also wouldn't send the email to reset the password either..
So I just created a new account with a new email and it synced just fine
