The reason I ask is that it seems that there is a bug related to my primary gmail account. On NO version of Android, stock or mod'ed, wiped, cleaned, etc, can I get my download page in Android Market without a server error.
I see lots of other people having Server Errors as well. If there is something wrong in the Android Market account information who would you go to in order to get it fixed? For instance, running a 'leaked' Froyo might have corrupted the account on the server side and all the wipes and roms in the world won't help it.
So the choice is either to fight to find someone at Google who can 'fix' whatever flags are botched on my account on their servers, or give up on this gmail account and use the newly created one which doesn't have those errors (but neither does it have record of past purchases!).
So I'm just wondering if ANYONE has successfully gotten a messed up account reset/fixed/cleaned with Google or not?

I recently flashed the [25 February 2009] HyperDragon IV Lite. That went smoothly and is running well. However, I have an email issue to which I haven't been able to find a solution.
The problem is of my own making. I had backed up data before flashing the ROM. After finishing the install, I tried to set up email accounts, but was having an issue with my AT&T account - a whole different matter.
So, after being unable to download email, I decided to restore the backup I'd done. I assume since I'd flashed a new ROM, the following problem occurred.
I can see the email from my personal account in the TouchFlo interface; however, it isn't listed as an account in the accounts list and I can't download new mail or open an inbox. I also can't create the account now since the Tilt thinks it's already been created.
I have no way to delete the account since it's not listed in the account list and can't create a new one for this email address. Additionally, my exchange server was restored and I have the same problem there; except for the fact that I'm getting new email. However, I have a gap of a couple days I can't download because I have no control over the account. It shows in the account list but can't be deleted or changed.
So...does anyone have a good solution to this? A way to remove the accounts so I can start from scratch maybe???
I very much appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thanks,
GT
You can try this, I have used it before to clean out phantom email accounts

Thanks for the help. It fixed the Bellsouth to the degree that I could delete it and start over. I still can't manage to delete the Exchange Server account. The options simply aren't available when I attempt to use them. Still working on that one.
Thanks again, I appreciate it.

I ran this program a couple times more, and it finally let me delete the sync relationship and email associated with this exchange server account.
I've been able to reestablish this relationship with exchange online and setup the account correctly. So, both accounts have been corrected.
I appreciate the help very much.
Thanks Again,
GT
This started happening after I went to CyanogenMod a couple of months back, but it's still happening with 4.2.13. Some of my Android apps refuse to authenticate even after I check login credentials and verify that they work fine on the desktop. Some examples of apps that always fail:
PayPal
Personal Assistant
GetItDone (a beta app)
Some examples of apps that have no problem ever:
Pandora
Last.fm
Facebook
Seesmic
Evernote
all Google apps
On #cyanogenmod, someone suggested there was an issue with APN settings, but I think he misunderstood me. My phone itself is fully authenticated with Google.
never mind
I use the HTC keyboard and I find that it almost systematically inserts a space every time I type a period. This screwed up my username wherever it was my e-mail address.
Hi Everyone,
I recently flashed the JPC FW and restored all my apps etc, but then I realized that I had stupidly given a different account at the beginning than my usual one, and hence find access to my paid apps cut-off. Is there any way to change this (other than factory reset)?
I googled and some people talked about deleting gmail and gtalk data, but that did not work for me, I think account settings are separately stored in newer versions of Android, but I am pretty much a noob in all this. Please help
Thanks
I would like to know this also. Next question to add is I have Google Apps and my own domain, is that supported yet or do you still have to use @gmail.com account for marketplace. Nice if the marketplace allowed email change like dare I say it iTunes ;-)
A bump for this - would be great to know if it's possible.
I'm on MoDaCo r12, and it has worked flawlessly thus far.
All of the sudden Google Talk started telling "Google Talk authentication error", and it keeps playing the notification sound at random and sometimes very often. Additionally Gmail has stopped synchronizing without any notice. Not a single error message!
I have never seen this strangeness in the two years of messing around with Android. Settings -> Accounts and sync sometimes tells me that "Sync is having problems and will be back shortly", but mostly it just doesn't work without telling me about any errors.
The log shows lines like these:
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1373): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}
Sometimes there will be methods listed in the curly braces, but mostly not.
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1406): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {googlelogin=WWW-Authenticate: GoogleLogin realm="http://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin", service=""}
I have tried wiping /cache, re-flashing the ROM image, clearing data in any apps I think might be related to Google services. E.g. Google services framework, accounts, account and sync settings, Talk, Gmail, Market...
I have even tried changing the Google account password twice. The phone notices it and accepts my new password like it normally would, but the issue remains.
This is a @gmail.com account. I have a Google Apps account on my phone also, and that one works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to wipe everything and start fresh, but first I would like to know if anyone has any killer tips on to get rid of this. I'm thinking there might be a cached cookie/auth token or something somewhere that's causing this.

Check your date. Possibly you are either in the past or from the future

That's not it I'm afraid. Using ClockSync, so it was only off by about one second after a reboot just now. I tried fix permissions in despair, but to no avail.
As noted above, my Google Apps account works fine, it's just my gmail.com account that doesn't work. Somehow it seems that Contacts and Calendar are sync'ed. Meaning the time and date of last sync on those are a few minutes ago, but Picasa is dated two days ago, Gmail yesterday.
I checked it on my Nexus One too; it pops up the password prompt (because I changed my pass) and then goes on to synchronize everything perfectly fine. Wtf could cause this! I haven't really done anything but read Twitter, Facebook and some RSS via Pulse before it stopped working. I only updated a couple of apps that is not related in any way and have not changed any system settings.
Fcuk it, I wiped it all and restored apps with titanium backup. All good now.
Hi, i to have a problem with Google account sign in but its with Play store, every time i try to use Play store it asks me to ether use an existing Google account or make a new account even though i have a Google account set up on my phone. So my question is how can i get back on to Play store with my Google account? Tried by removing my account from my phone then going on to Play Store and signed in with my account but when i tried going back to Play store again it asked me to ether make a new account or use an existing account.
I guess its becoz in some parts of the world youtube services has been shutdown and it as affected google services communication badly. I live in pakistan and here we cant access to google play and other google services as well.

Once had the same problem and until I realized I had an error with my baseband, I pulled out a lot of my sparse hair.
Make a good backup and try to flash new bb, then Google will recognize you again (I hope!!!!)
My default email account works, but whenever I try to enter in a new email account, I get the following message:
"Unfortunately, email has stopped."
I am using Dynamic Kat Rom and have rooted the device using the standard instructions included for room, including installing TowelRoot, BusyBox, SafeStrap, etc.
I've searched everywhere for similar issues, and what I've read is that My Magazine has to be installed and running, which I do have, and I enabled it.
Here are the details on my phone:
SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android 4.4.2
Baseband N900AUCUCNC2
Hardware version REV0.3
I have to solve this or I'm going to have to go back to stock, which I hated because the bloatware had me looking at a loading icon for 5m every time I opened email. Ironically, the phone is massively faster now but I can't get my other gmail or my work exchange emails on it.
Minor side issue, I am seeing a green check mark in folders for app icons instead of the normal app icons (which I can see when I look at all apps, and it's random on the app - most have their normal icon, some do not).
So I've been working on this some and have successfully added new Google email accounts by adding Google accounts to the main account. Yay!
What I can not do is add a Microsoft Exchange email (my most important need). I get the error listed above about the email not working.
I can launch the My Magazine that was apparently an issue for others and the email app. It runs and gets information, so I don't think its that (unless there is something else I have to check relative to that, but I cant find the original thread discussion that others refer to sometimes in other threads).
Happy to report after monkeying around with every setting imaginable, I've got it to work now.
