Hey all,
I have the new market youtube version om my dhd,
and the problem is that every time i try to upload a vid to my youtube.
Either from the gallery, camera or youtube app,
I get the error messages: Failed to retrieve account information
I tried this using wifi and 3g.
I read somewhere to enable multiple logins allowed for the gmail account.
but nothing seems to work.
anybody else have this issue?
some one know what the fix is for this?
SOLVED...
What i did i go to settings - applications - youtube - clear data
go to youtube, go to my channel, it asked me if i wanne use my already configured gmail.com account,
i selected add account,
did only the username without @gmail.com
and now it didnt give me the error and is uploading my test vid.
No body has this problem?
Do you have an account on youtube?
In my case, I'm using the preinstalled youtube player on the device. When I upload, the first time it asked for my login which it accepted. Now, when I click upload nothing happens, no error, nothing. No movie appears on youtube
I use my gmail account for youtube.
I used this on my moto milestone and it worked just fine.
but now it doesnt on my desire hd..
On second thought, I'm having the same problem as you, the "Failed to retrieve account information" error.
I found this solution, but a hard reset isn't worth it for me. Any other solution?
Hmm ok....
So cant we do this all without hard resetting?
anyway.. nto gonne do this.
waiting for a nice good custom rom,
and then might try it.
I *think* I just found a solution. Here's what I did:
I previously signed in with my gmail account linked to youtube, so I used "[email protected]" as a username. After that, it also showed up in my account list in android. It wasn't there before, since I use a different gmail account for my e-mail and calendar syncing. I also noticed that when going into the youtube app and clicking on My account, it would hang.
So, I deleted that account from the account list in android. I then went into the youtube app and readded my account information there (since it was obviously gone, as I deleted the account from android). But, I didn't use [email protected] as username but only myname, so without the @gmail.com.
Then, the youtube app would directly show me my previously uploaded videos and so on. Afterwards, I went into the android gallery, chose a video, share > youtube, and now it's uploading without a problem.
In my case I could remove the account without problems, since I don't use it for calendar, contacts etc. I don't know what you'd have to do if you do use it for that. Somehow you'd have to change the username to remove @gmail.com I think.
Let my know how this works for you...
Just to be sure..
You deleted the gmail account from your phone right?
Not just specificly youtube?
I do use calendar and contacts ect but they sync with gmail.
so should not be a problem.
Where did you remove the account?
Menu - settings - accounts & sync - google
??

Correct. I deleted the google account, that in my case only applies on logging into youtube from the accounts list > Menu - settings - accounts & sync - google.
Successssss!!!!
What i did i go to settings - applications - youtube - clear data
go to youtube, go to my channel, it asked me if i wanne use my already configured gmail.com account,
i selected add account,
did like you sayd only the username without @gmail.com
and now it didnt give me the error and is uploading my test vid.
jeeej,...
Bedankt voor de hulp!
Dit is een stuk handiger dan een hard-reset
Great! And thanks for adding the extra information.
Groeten!
does anyone else get the "cannot upload files larger than 1GB" error even though your file is WELL under 1GB? I'm testing it right now, but I think files under 100mb will work. Is this a broken error? any fixes?

can you upload very small vids?
or do you get the error with every size?
hello. I tried that as well, but my device automatically adds the @gmail.com after my username. Once I confirm, it states that this account is already added (which it is). I can access all my videos and favorites, but I cannot upload.
Im not sure what happened. I belive i tried to login the gmail and after that my android market broke. The password stopped working everywhere. On my last builds i only used the gmail account to login to android market and this time i setup the gmail account in my email and it stopped working shortly after. I tried to clear the contacts and i cleared evrything else but it dint work. I enter password and it takes me to the magic word screen captcha. I just keep entering newwords anditjust keeps popping up with new ones forever

Have you tried logging in to gmail via browser or from a computer? May be that logging in to gmail will allow apps to log in...? (Just a guess)
wow what a stupid program.
i was locked out. and there was nothing explaining why it wasnt working on the phone itsself.
im suspecting that google has some kind of check up to make sure you have the account linked to your phone or another email.
because i do not see any reason for this happening in the first place.
Am i doing something wrong?
I see a video and try to select the thumbs or favorite, I can't remember, but it prompts me to sign in. I can't select sign in but I can select create new account.
What is going on?
I am logged into my google account.
I just bought this thing last night for my son and I and so far we are happy.
Thanks,

I found the issue for my account (this may or may not apply to yours). The issue was that the e-mail address I thought was registered in fact was not.
For instance if your youtube account was originally subscribed under a yahoo e-mail address. It was later converted to be accepted as a gmail account. I was attempting to use my actual g-mail account instead of the yahoo account that was originally subscribed.
You can verify which e-mail you should use by logging onto YouTube on your PC. Under account, click "manage account". It will show what true e-mail is used to sign you in.
Hope this helps!
That sounds like it makes sense.
I went to you tube and this what i got:
"Do you already have a YouTube Account?
Yes. Add YouTube to my Google Account.
Enter your YouTube username and password to add YouTube to your Google Account."
So I signed in and this what I got next:
"You have linked your YouTube account (XXXXX) to your Google Account ([email protected]).
Note: Your old YouTube password will no longer work. You need to use your Google Account password from now on.
If you made a mistake, you can re-link XXXXX to a different (or a brand new) Google Account here. "
I will try Youtube later when i get home to see if this works.
Thanks

Let me know how it works. Sounds like you should now be set-up. One last thing. Once I had the correct email/password (which is sounds like you definetely have with the new account link), I went to YouTube on my Acer. Funny thing was, I had to still click the "Create Account" button. Once I did that then entered the e-mail and password, it acknowledged the account and migrated my profile.
nope.
Cant do it. i linked mygoogle acccount its still a no go. i tried the create account but backed out and tried to log back in, but that didnt work.
i keep getting the google account already exists. try again......
stuck
Wow, sorry to hear that my friend. Hate I couldn't help you on this one. The only other thing I can suggest is searching the issue with Xoom users (as they had the same issues). It seems like they found some fixes. Here is one link I found:

I will try when I get home.
After a few random force closes and some weird issues with browser randomly closing, I may opt for the Transformer, if I can find one. I know its Honeycomb related, but if I can get the 2 side-by-side, maybe the Acer goes back.
I've been trying to figure out how to sync my Facebook with my phone, but I think I'm running into a glitch. I go to Settings, Accounts & sync, Add Account. I then click on the facebook button, but then it just shoots me back to the previous page (Accounts & sync). The very first time I did this, it asked me to log into my account, but then it didn't add my FB account and just brought me back to the previous screen. I've looked online for a solution, tried things like uninstalling the facebook app and reinstalling it, but it just does the same thing. Any thoughts?

You didn't look particularly hard did you? Check down on the Themes/Apps section for this phone. There is a leftover bit from the SE code that was stripped that ends up blocking the addition of a FB account from the official FB app. You have to use another app. Try using the SonyEricsson Life.Contacts beta, or use WATTO's FB Synch adapter (I use the latter, but there isn't an option to synch only matching contacts, just all or nothing).

sign out of the fbook app, so there is no account associated with it, go to manage applications and clear data for the fbook app, no go to accounts and settings and try to sign in

I follow your instructions:
I sign out, clear data, and THEN do accounts-->sync--->add account--->facebook--->sign in---->fb starts up--->i back out of it--->nothings changed in my contacts, and furthermore when I go into accounts: there is still only google synced up. no evidence of any fb sync

For those not stuck on the borked CDMA version, yes, this. Also make sure you have not moved the FaceBook application to the SD card, as that will also commonly mess up the account synch adapters.
Same goes for me. I logged out, cleared app cache, cleared app data, reinstalled, tried to add FB sync account, logged in successfully, facebook opened but no sync account was added.
The only way i figured it out is to use the r800x UK firmware because it uses the sony ericsson base instead of google, so facebook contacts arent blocked.
My two cents, hope it helps
r800x locked bootloader on UK firmware from XDA premium app
Hi guys,
I have been extremely frustrated with my LG G2 experience thus far (1 day) and am planning on sending it back. Everytime I turn off my phone and restart it will ask me for a password of the WiFi network in my home. Furthermore, setting up multiple gmail accounts has been a nightmare. I went into accounts and added my other gmail accounts and was able to browse email of the different accounts through the gmail app. However, when I use the browser LG or Chrome I started having issues with logging into accounts. When I go to gmail.com in my LG browser it shows all my gmail accounts and then when I click on one of them, it will either not allow me to login and the page refreshes back to where it shows all the accounts or it will only let me login in to one account and even when I sign out of it and then, try to login (if the page allows me which it does randomly) then it will take me back to the account I had supposedly just logged out of. So, I tried to logout and login to a different gmail account on my chrome browser as well, but its now just stuck in an infinite loop where the blue bar goes halfway and comes back and does the same things really fast over and over again? I tried searching and have not been able to find any answers. I called LG tech support and she said you can only ever check one gmail account whether it is through the gmail app or checking gmail through a browser. Is this true? If yes, then I will be sending the phone back and for me is a major setback. I really wish there will some easy solution to these problems, because other than these issues I really do love the device and hope I can keep it.
I am using a LG D803 from Telus. I also have not put in a sim yet either.
Thanks,
Jay
Lol. I have 803. Never heard or experienced any of the above. I use multiple Gmail accounts on app. It's highly convenient except for the sync that turns off on its own time to time

Yup, as my post says gmail app is fine. Have you tried logging in and out of multiple gmail accounts in the browsers?
Frustrated as well
I have the same wifi issue. I must enter my network and password EVERY time. I travel back at forth from work to home daily and must enter all the information EVERY time. I HATE that and am also going to discard the phone because of it. I have searched and searched for a solution and none are out there. I guess I'll go back to the IPhone.
