Can someone help in using my gmail account on android?
I had setup my gmail account on my android few months ago, when there was no 2-Way Password verification.
But now, I have setup the 2-way password verification method, which resulted into different password for this gmail app.
Now when I am opening gmail app. on my mobile, it's showing me same old messages as the password for gmail app is changed now.
Can someone help in changing the password which I set earlier in my Gmail App.
When I am removing my gmail account, it says, this is the Sync account, which can't be removed until you set the phone to factory settings, which will remove all my stored data on phone.
I'm in trouble.
Try uninstalling the gmail app, and re-install it.

Work around for second gmail account
THere is a work around for this problem. Go to youtube application and login to the second gmail application you want to setup. Now go to general accounts app and you will notice that you can easily add the second account (in some cases android would have automatically added the google account).
Thanks, the trick worked for me but the defy still refuses to sync my contacts & emails
Hello All,
I am very much new to using HTC wildfire S as an android smart phone. I have purchased this an year ago,though.
I will come to the point with out much discussion.Your help is much appreciated in filing a bug against HTC Keyboard sense or wrong password authentication mechanism.
Step i followed:
1.Day before yesterday, I have rooted my phone and i have got all the data back again from recovery.
2.Once the phone is reset, it was prompting me to set up a new gmail account to perform syncing of contacts and mails.
3.I have given my old crenditals of gmail and the sync worked.
4.Today, I got a message from google that, my gmail account is being accessed from canada maliciously.So, it prompted me to reset my password along with SMS verification code.This made my gmail account login stronger. During this process, I have reset my gmail account password. ( the same account is being used by my htc wildfire S phone).
5.Now, my wildfire S is not able to recognize my new password to gmail account. Neither it recognizes my old password.
6.I have tried different key board input mechanisms to make sure that i am entering correct password.
7.Now, I am exhausted and thus i am writing this post.
Please help me.
I am suspecting as a bug in htc while syncing with gmail authentication servers.
I had faced similar problem a month ago while connecting to facebook from my HTC Wildfire S phone. My new gmail account works fine from the dolphin mini browser.But, it doesnot work from native gmail and facebook applications.

Tried with another gmail account.. Now it is working fine.
As I said in my previous post that, my original gmail account with which i had registered my mobile is still not working.
However, I have registered another gmail account to sync with contacts.With my second gmail account, I am able to sync the contacts from google servers.Also, with out a registered gmail account, i am unable to download apps from htc Appstore as well as Android Market place.
Now, I tried deleting my first gmail account, which is not working since the time i have changed its password.It says that you cannot remove the account as it is being used by other programs. Restore phone to default settings.
With out resetting my phone, How can i delete my original gmail account which is of no use.
Thanks and Regards,
Sriram
Hi, I'm trying to setup a new email account and think there may be a bug.
I'm trying to setup a gmail.com account but I want to set the smtp settings to use my pobox.com account so that I receive email through gmail and send through pobox.
I use the wizard which you are presented with when you choose New Account. I choose gmail which fills in the gmail pop settings for you but on the smtp screen I change to my pobox.com settings and continue through successfully.
The problem is when I go back into the smtp settings for that account, the username and password has defaulted back to that for the gmail account which obviously wont work on pobox.com!! When I try to send a mail, it is actually sent through the gmail account and not the pobox smtp even though the username and password have defaulted to the gmail settings but the smtp is what I originally left it at the pobox address
Is this a known bug? Has anyone encountered this before? Is there a fix?
Thanks
In which app you trying to add new account Gmail app or Mail app? If it's Mail app just fill your account details with gmail credentials and when account is added, edit outgoing settings. Also don't use the wizard, create it manually

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I tried that unfortunately The trouble was that when I sent an email it looked as if it had been sent by the gmail account - the settings defaulted back to gmail. The settings will not save!!!
I am using mail app btw.
I have found seen other email clients which have identities so its a shame mail app does not have this feature.
I'm glad you find solution. Yes its real pity, mail app its good app
Hi folks, I have a bit of a problem at the moment with HTC's Mail app. I currently have 2-step verification enabled onto my Gmail account and wish to now use HTC's mail app rather than the included Gmail app. When I attempt to sign into my Gmail account via HTC's mail app, it prompts me, "Enter your 2-step verification password to sign in."... But there's not a place for me to enter my verification password NOR will I get a text message giving me a password to sign in.
Has anyone encountered this and solved this problem? Any useful ideas would be greatly appreciated and thank you very much in advance!
EDIT: I have resolved this.
For anyone in the same boat, you're going to have to create an "application specific password" with your device. You may do this by going onto your google account.
The text on the page says, "App passwords allow 2-Step Verification users to access their Google Accounts through apps such as Mail on an iPhone or Mac, or Outlook. We'll generate the app passwords for you, and you won't need to remember them...". In layman's term: google will create a 16 digit password for you to use to sign into the app that cannot be accessed due to conflicts with 2-step verification Google have implemented.
After you type it in, you will be logged in!
I have an Outlook.com email account (@hotmail.com, actually) and 2FA on my Microsoft account. Per https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...mail-app-71147974-7aca-491b-978a-ab15e360434c I have the Gmail app configured to use ActiveSync to connect to my account and I've been using it in that configuration for a long time now. To get past the 2FA requirement for login Microsoft accounts have an "app password" you can generate that works as a non-2FA password to allow "applications" such as Gmail to log in.
Recently - the past few weeks - for some reason Gmail on my phone will tell me I need to reenter my creds for mail to sync. When I reenter the same creds I've been using it tells me it can't reach the server (BS). If I log in to my Microsoft account and generate a new app password Gmail takes it, resumes syncing, and does so for anywhere from a few hours to a few days. At that point it all starts over and I have to generate a new app password.
I've tried clearing out Gmail's data along with a force stop, then re-adding the account just as it was before. Unfortunately the same problems starts happening again. I have this same EAS configuration set up on other devices (an iPad for one) and it works flawlessly without this credential issue. Any ideas what could be going wrong here?
