[Q] Google sign-in error? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On booting my phone I get an error that says (my email address) sign-in error. When I click on it it asks me to authenticate by typing in random letters (similar to those checks they put when you register for certain sites).
I never got this before installing the 2.15 baseband. Running the full 8/1 ROM leak.
Anyone else get this or know how to fix?

Seriously no one else is getting this error? I just did a full wipe (data/cache/dalvik) and reinstalled the 8/1 ROM (full not slimmed version). Still get the same error.
It might be tied to Google voice search but I'm not entirely sure.
S-off with the 2.15 baseband if that matters.

Don't do it...I think it is a phishing spam BS hack. I got this on Saturday but didn't think anything of it. I entered the letters and then next thing I know I get like three wierd emails with a bunch of BS crap in them. Later that day one of my friends emailed me back saying they just recieved some fake spam email from me. I immediately changed my email password just to be safe...Good luck

I get this one every reboot. I think it's legit though, no spam so far and I can't open any of the google apps (market, voice search, etc.) unless I do the authenticaiton. I'm going to try wiping some of the google app cache's and see if that helps, any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Edit: Cleared data and cache from the market app, then re-did the fingerprint check in (call the *#*#<number>#*#*). So far it hasn't given me the error, we'll see if it lasts.

[Q] market issues

could someone help me on why every download is saying unsuccessful ?
protip - when asking for help, try to include as much relevant detail as you can. Rom? Rooted? Etc. Too many variables otherwise.

Lol, so much for relevant information... Same issues on stock after a good wipe,aye... When did it start, after flashing a particular rom or something or from day one?
Sent from my phone.
There's a glitch in the new market, google voice uses the same log in as the market so if one logs out the other won't work right. Just start up Voice and make sure it is logged in, you may need to log it out and re-login for it to take.
it started after i went from the stock to the "fresh" so then i switched to the "baked snack"...same issue so i switched back to stock...still it happened and now im on ava with the same issue...i wpie everytime and i wiped the cache as well but i noticed even when i tried to download something from for shared it said "free up some space on your phone" but there is like 378 mb of internal memory left. is that enough info?
I am currently running the latest version of Fresh on the EVO, and I am getting the same error message that reads: Download unsuccessful on 9 out of 10 attempted downloads.
Does anyone have an actual solution for this!?! Aside from wiping and reflashing? I have had to do that twice already and I've only had my phone rooted for about 3 days. HELP with the market prob, anyone?
Please?

Try signing in to google talk on your desktop computer, and then on your Evo, and then try to download.

[Q] Cleared data from Peep now cant log back in

So last night my wife asked if FriendStream on my phone had any tweets in it. It did but hers had not updated for over a day. I opened Peep and hit refresh and waited for it to update did this a few times and the latest it would get was still over 24 hours old.
Having seem similar problems before I cleared the cache of FriendStream its widget and Peep, Still wouldn't update so I cleared their data and that's where it went wrong.
Opened Peep and it had to the login boxes greyed out and a button saying logout, so I did and then tried to login I get Unable to sign in.
"You entered an incorrect username or password".
I have tried rebooting a few times and adding the account back in Accounts and Sync same problem, tried my account same problem, tried my wife's account on my phone and it logs in fine.
I have tried checking/unchecking SSL makes no difference, I know this happened a while back when Twitter changed there login API but it seems I broke something clearing Peeps data without removing the account in accounts and sync or it was broken already and that's why it would update and I brought the login problem to the surface.
If this was a normal app I would try and reinstall it but now I don't know what to do.
1) Can someone with a stock ROM confirm Peep is working and updating. My Desire has LeeDroid with a slightly newer Peep.
2) I have extracted htctwitter.apk from the Modaco ROM can you install this and have it overwrite the installed Peep on a stock un-rooted phone?
3) Any suggestions apart from do a factory reset? and if a factory reset is done any educated guesses if it will help?
4) Does a factory reset mean you have to OTA again or is the OTA written into the image when its applied?
Thanks for any help, seems I broke the wifes most used feature of the phone Not a good idea on my part.
Snowdan.
Turns out Peep version 1.00.0061.26XXXX that ships with stock T-Mobile phones no longer works with twitter, T-Mobile are aware and talking to HTC about an OTA to fix this.

[Q] Problems after flashing rooted Gingerbread.

I rooted my EVO and flashed radio 'EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_2.15_003.zip'
Then I flashed a rooted stock gingerbread/sense ROM 'supersonic_4.22.651.2_deodexed-signed.zip'
Problem 1: I reinstalled a bunch of my apps using Titanium Backup, but none of these apps are showing up in the Market.
Problem 2: I cannot sync Facebook for HTC Sense. Whenever I try to sign in, I keep getting the error "The service is currently unavailable. Do you want to try again?"
I have tried all sorts of things like uninstalling all Facebook for Android updates and even a supposed fix I found in other forums in which you edit your work information on your facebook profile. Nothing seems to work.
Can anyone help?

For the apps not showing up in your market it takes time and a reboot or two. The facebook thing I'm not sure about though, it wouldn't work right for me from day one so I haven't tried to use it in awhile.
Why do people need their apps to show up in the market if they already have them reinstalled with TB??

I just find it helpful to see which apps need updating. It's definitely not essential.
For the apps download a free app from the market and they should show up they did for me.

Normal when flashing a rom. Give it a few reboots and wait a day or so.

Thanks a lot guys. Today was my first experience with flashing. I can see why it's addicting.
I have a different problem after I flashed to the latest Gingerbread ROM, (on my eVO 4G btw). I flashed the latest ROM "gingerbread evo 1.2v", when that finished i flashed "EVO_Radio_2.15.00.05.02_WiMAX_27243_PRI_2.15_003" (was told it should fix any radio issues). then flashed "gapps 5-21-2011 with Voicemail.apk and Gtalk 1.3 with Voice and Video". My EVO restarted fine but now i cant make any calls or recieve any. In fact the status bar at the top isn't even there. When i press the phone icon i get a message saying "Application not installed on your phone". I must be missing a step or something. Any help would be great, thanks.

I read in another forum you sometimes need to re-flash the kernel after flashing new radios. You could try re-flashing the ROM now that you have the updated radios.
just tried flashing the rom after everything else and still same results. Any other suggestions?

I'm new to flashing ROMs personally, but I've also read people recommending to do a clean wipe 2 or 3 times and wipe the dalvik cache as many times before flashing again. I don't know what sort of issues they feel they are preventing by doing that so I don't know how plausible of a solution it is, but if you've got the time it wouldn't hurt to try.
Hopefully someone with more experience will chime in and you won't have to get your advice from a noob. Best of luck.

Google Play Store download error - 921

This thread is to provide the solution for Google play store download error - 921.
Today I got the error while downloading the apps from Google Play Store. The error message is
'Error - Update for "xxxxx" could not be downloaded due to an error. (921)'
I've searched the forum and found some useful information. Because the thread was belonging to different phone, I wanted to post the information with some more details.
If you see the same error, then follow the steps -
1. Menu > Settings > Personal > Accounts and sync > click on your google account (email)
2. click 'Remove account'. Don't worry, it's not deleting your physical account. Account related information is still saved in Google.
3. Launch Google Play Store again
4. When asked, use existing account to create the google account.
5. Provide your existing google account information (email & password)
6. try again to download
Based on my experience, whenever I got the 921 error, cleaning cache and data for google play store app does not work.
Another work around is creating a second google account. But I believe many people do not want to maintain multiple account on one phone.
(attached) screenshot of error 921.
First png uploading failed. Try to upload thru 2nd post.
Error 921 download error..
I could fix it by uninstalling the google play..
I tired to do this, but I get
"This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data) You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy"
Actually doing that is what started my problem. My google contacts would not sync
so I reset by going to Settings/Privacy, now I can't get google play/market to download anything, and I constantly get a google talk authentication failed message. ( I don't nor have I ever knowingly used google talk)
remove and clear the data/cache for the play store and uninstall the update for it. it should roll back to a version from before and once you reopen it and it downloads again it should be ok. I had this same problem and have done that and so far with the newest market I've not had one single problem after doing that. YMMV however.
I do not have option to clear data or clear cache greyed out, I will try the uninstall update..
no go, same thing only now the message is simply "could not be downloaded due to an error"
is your phone rooted? and which rom are you using?
Again, just removing data/cache would not solve the problem many times.
Did you try to create a second account?
yeah, I can't clear data or cache as the buttons are not available.
it is rooted I am on GB EL30 with EL30 modem
i did not try a second account, really don't want a second account, i guess i can to test it though.
probably do a hard reset tonight from cm

Many google apps are sharing the info thru Google Framework service. Did you try to remove data/cache for this app also?
Doing factory resetting would be the easiest way but sometimes taking long time to recover the everything. So, it depends on your preference.
If the data & cache fields are grayed out, then it means that there's nothing to be cleared.
yes, the buttons for data and cache are also unavailable in framework also.
I did the factory reset from Privacy, that's what started the 921 problem.
i guess I will from cm tonight, that don't work I guess I'll put it back to ec05 and let it update then try again
got tired of messing with it, used odin to overwrite el30. so far so good. email push is working, contacts are syncing, and I can download from market
it's working now! thank you!
Likewise, OP's steps worked for me Thanks.
I googled this issue (I have a different device, obviously) and found this thread. Pointing me at the Google Framework services fixed my issue, so thank you!! I use TB and just restored the Google Framework data (I'd just wiped data and didn't want to have to go through the play store song and dance like ALWAYS) and voila! One reboot later (I'd already rebooted five times before, what was one more?) my apps download without an issue. This would probably resolve it for other users as well. Thank you again!!

Remove the account and readd it.
Hey my little cuties. I noticed something it the screenshot. You have the warning triangle up top. Use the pulldown to grant permissions. Google apps sometimes request it out of nowhere.

That was not the permission thing. Actually the little triangle was for the error message on top.
Actually I've seen the case like you explained but in my case there was no waring nor notification. Just app was't worked. In sometimes, if the app does not work, then we need to pull down the notification area, and check if there's anything (permission request).
OP's directions worked for me as well.
HTC Sensation.
OP's directions worked for me as well.

Now how do I clear up the 942 error.

random problems after unlock and root

hey guys, so i've an interesting problem that I've searched all over xda and google, but can't find a definitive answer/solution. Here goes:
I recently unlocked the bootloader of my t-mobile z2 force. rooted via temp flashing TWRP and magisk, everything went fine, no issues. restoring my phone went great, got a few "app unexpectedly closed" type messages every now and then, but it's settled down for the most part. the problem is that, periodically, my phone will lose sync with google (i think that's whats happening anyway). I will have no contacts in my phone app, text messages cannot be received, gmail fails to open, calendar has no events, etc etc. a quick reboot fixes everything, but then it will randomly happen again, with no indication, other than i think "i haven't recv'd any texts recently, lemme check" and i find it's happened again.
I hope this makes sense, because I'm not even sure i'm looking up the right thing in google or other xda forums. Has anyone experienced this? anyone know the answer?
Thanks in advance
Just a bump...anybody run into this or have any ideas?
I haven't had any problems like thoes. My Bluetooth goes a lil dumb from time to time and when I have wifi and Bluetooth on at the same time Bluetooth will just loose signal randomly. I'm just stock Rooted on T-Mobile.

My suggestion is to unroot, clear cache and Dalvik, and re root. See what happens and post results. Your app permissions are on for Google correct?
fastboot boot <TWRP file name>.img
Only now that you’re inside TWRP temporarily flash the TWRP .zip file you’ve saved into the phone
Reboot into TWRP again, flash Magisk

Thanks. Yes all permissions are granted for Google app. I also stopped battery optimization for it and any other phone related apps I could find. I'll give this a shot.
