I stupidly altered my gmail address from @googlemail to @gmail (I'm in the UK) and then realised that you can't change the account on the phone without a factory reset on the phone so undid it and deleted the new @gmail account from my phone (keeping the original @googlemail one).
Now I keep getting the message that Google talk authentication has failed and I can't download anything from the market - any help out there?
Change it back
I did the same and then had to log in to my gmail account and change it back to googlemail and its fine again now :0
check out the google forum here which is also discussing it
http://www.google.co.uk/support/for...ad?fid=35ae480b5fa3f9cf000485fe3ab67eee&hl=en
I did the same but ended up factory resetting the phone and reconfiguring it for gmail.com.
It's a pain but it allows you to use Picasa sync and this is something I've wanted f'rages!

Thanks for the response but I have changed the account back to @googlemail from my laptop and it's still not working - as appears to be the case for others form the thread you connected me to

I don't have any purchased apps but Titanium Backup restored my apps pretty successfully.
Picasa sync seems to send small versions of your pictures to your phone. Certainly don't have 2gb of pictures on my phone as I would have noticed this happening.
Well I gave up and did a factory reset back to @googlemail and all seems well. A relatively painless process except that the desire backup routine seems to save a rather eclectic selection of your settings

Hey guys!
Same here. Loving this ROM just awesome but no market downloads and GTALK authentification failed.
Thing is I have reinstalled the ROM and was able to log into gtalk for 5 mins then it is logging out and can't go back in!
Anybody got a fix for this?
Thanks for all the hard work from the XDA devs! U guys rock.
hey guys! i have recently installed in my hd2 the 2.3.3 android version and i also have the same problem with google talk authentication. How can i fix the problem? Thank u
Possible fix
I just stumbled across this thread because I was getting the same error on a Mytouch 3G slide and I found a way to fix it. all I had to do was force the phone to authenticate thru wifi and not the cell network once, then I was able to authenticate successfully the regular way after that. the way I did it on my phone was to remove the sim, but on a CDMA phone like yours you could try to activate airplane mode (settings>Wireless & networks), then turn on wifi and connect to a working wifi connection, log into the google talk app, then disable airplane mode.
I had this very problem and fortunately came across a solution courtesy of pascalsg which worked for me that was in the BoyPPC -ShiftPDA Android ROM for HD2. The problem with Talk authentication seemed to interfere with my Market downloading causing any 'starting downloads' to just hang.
First I enabled chat in the Gmail account on the desktop. Then I cleared data on the phone \settings\applications\manage applications\all (for Google Backup Transport, Google Partner Set Up, Google Services Framework and Market as per the solution above. Then I rebooted the phone. Then for some reason there was no authentication issue. I then went into the application settings of Talk on the phone and turned off "automatic sign in. Now there are no repeated error messages about authentication failure and the Android Market works as it should.
google fails
Try a different SD rom, I used americandroid and everything worked on my HTC hd2 now on another rom and Google fails again

This worked perfectly for me. Couldn't log into google talk or download apps from marketplace. Used airplane mode then turned on wifi only, then connected to google talk instantly. After that, I can turn airplane mode off and log in to google talk and download apps.
[solved] talk authentication failed on android
SOLUTION:
NOTE: You WON'T lose all your installed apps if you do this (at least I didn't). However, if you clear the data for Settings, you will lose your preferences. Try doing it w/o clearing the data for settings, then if that fails do it again and clear the Settings data.
1. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Press All (or Show All, etc.)
3. Clear Data for the following Apps (if data is clearable):
- Account and Sync Settings
- com.google.andriod.feedback
- Gmail (and Gmail Storage if it is there)
- Google Services Framework
- Google Voice
- Maps
- Market & Market Updater
- Network Location
- News and Weather
- Search
- Sound Recorder
- Talk
- TTS Service
- Voice Search
- VPN Services
- World Newspapers
- YouTube
- Settings (Settings will close when you clear its data)
I don't use the email client app (not the Gmail app but the one simply called 'Email'), so I don't know if you'll need to clear its data or not. If all else fails, try it (I imagine you'll lose any downloaded emails).
4. Clear the data for any apps associated with any of the above listed apps.
5. Clear the data for any other applications affiliated with Google or your Google account.
6. Clear the data for any applications that aren't uninstallable, i.e. 'built-in' applications.
7. Reboot and you're done. Google Talk should work correctly now.
I'm sure this is overkill. Some of these apps may not have anything to do with the problem but when I cleared the data for them and rebooted, Google Talk worked correctly. Also, I am using an Archos 70 IT so you might have some different requirements for this procedure on your phone/tablet. BTW I got the Google Talk error when I changed the password on my primary Google account.
Good luck!

Running CM9 and Franco kernel (tried many different nightlies) but my gmail won't sync automatically. It was working and then stopped. I have freshly installed CM9 and installed an older version of Franco kernel but still won't work. Is there anyone else experiencing this?

did you restore from TiBu?
yes but for the email I only restored the app and not the data
go into your accounts and sync and make sure the account is setup correctly to sync gmail.

That will work for messages waiting there but when I send myself a new message afterwards, again it won't show up.
(Just tried it again and same thing)
have you tried removing the account and readding it?
also, when it stopped working? did you flash the updated CM overtop of what you were already running?
I tried updating over and then a clean install. I'm going to do a clean install and not use Titanium at all this time. I though it might be a kernel or cm9 issue.
Having the same problem with my sprint gnex. Flip data off and then back on and it will sync right away. Have you ever noticed where you're using data and it suddenly stops working even though it says you have 3g still? Happens to me a lot. I use juice defender now to turn data off with the screen and on with the screen. It also turns data on every 15 minutes to check for email. Having that going on eliminated my Gmail sync issue since it is constantly resetting the data connection. Still sucks when data freezes in the middle of a video or a long Reddit news session.

What's really crazy is I restored my account from 2 weeks ago when sync was still working and guess what? Still won't work. Really frustrating!
I just had this same issue and these are the steps I did to fix it.
Turn google mail sync off and then back on
Closed all applications
Rebooted the device
Now email is coming in just fine on my Sam galaxy tab 2
Have you tried deleting data from the gmail app? Your mail is stored on the server, so you won't lose anything...
Same Problem
Having this same issue on my Sprint GNex now. I flashed the 4.2 Are You Jellin' mod last night and now Gmail won't auto sync. I restored apps from Titanium Backup. I've tried all the suggestions listed in this thread with no change. I'm also seeing a sync error message on the google account setting screen. Manual sync does work. Any ideas?
I seem to have figured out the problem, for me at least. I flashed a new ROM that included GApps then restored from Titanium Backup. I restored missing apps and system data. I had problems with most of the Google apps syncing and was receiving a sync error message. I tried reflashing the ROM and restoring again with the same result. I did a factory wipe and then restored just missing apps from Titanium Backup and select system data (my SMS/MMS) and everything works fine.
Both times Gmail was not included in the missing apps restore through Titanium and broke when I restored system data. It's been working for over 24 hours now. The other apps that weren't syncing properly are now working too (wallet, contacts, calendar)

whatsapp: sometimes i get notifications for new messages/calls but sometimes not, and when i open the app itself i get the notifications
facebook messenger: unable to login, but once i login using any other wifi, now i get messages
similar things are with many other apps like pages manager, snapchat etc.
Hike is working fine! (indian messenger app)
i got this problem first time from facebook messenger, it wasn't loading new messages, then suddenly facebook stopped loading and finally play store and everything else.
i tried updating all apps, uninstalling and reintsalling these apps, uninstall and reinstall play store app completely [removed even factory version and used an olde backup i had on my pc to install it again] , but nothing worked!!!
is there any serious issue with android going on these days or what?
am using no proxy server nothing on my router, my PC and laptop are working fine over my home wifi, even many other apps are working on phone and internet is working, but the problem is with some of these apps. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Start with restarting modem, then turn off sync and see if something changes.
There is also option to turn off wifi power saving in service menu (it was somewhere in forum).
Go as close to modem as possible.

i already did modem resetting, restarting and even allocated dedicated IP for the android device. but nothing happens, though i found a small thing, when i restart modem, things work and i get push messages/notifications for a very small amount time say 4-5 seconds thats it!
I have an issue, Ok Google keyword is activated in the options of wear 2.0 but the keyword does nothing. if i long press the button the assistant come in but the keyword don't work. Is there a workaround? Am i the only one with this issue?

Already activated but no effect, trying factory reset
Ok, just pinpointed the issue, "ok google" works only if the language is set to english, don't work in french...
Problem was here too. I do reset/wipe my watch and now all work. And now battery is better. Yesterday in 12 hours 80%, today after reset in 6 hours 10%
Working now after 3 factory reset and changing language to english and to french thereafter.
Same problem after the OTA : Ok google doesn't work ! long press the button works fine !
After factory reset all works perfectly !
I have the same problem. I also noticed that instead of using assistant on push held it defaults to google search. That's why the keywords aren't working. I have factory reset my watch at least four times and the problem comes back after a couple of days. I am in English US and have switched it back and forth just for kicks. Has anyone had any luck?
edit: I also noticed my Talkback services are buggy and don't provide and example when I tap on the icon under the settings

Did you actually take the time to read my post? I mentioned I have done that several times and the problem keeps coming back.
Hello joeanca
Yes I've taken time to read your post, and I don't understand why a factory reset don't resolve your problem. Because, for myself it resolves it.
Perhaps somebody else could have a new idea to help you
I have the same issue. Factory reset only fixes the issue for a few hours then it happens again (I think once they lose the connection between them (for example because of distance) and reconnect again. Factory reset also enables wi-fi again. The issue is that if the watch is connected only through Bluetooth with wi-fi closed, google assistant and play don't work , if you go in watch settings it says disconnected in Bluetooth but no "cloud" icon pops up at the screen and on phone Bluetooth settings it says connected furthermore the watch works perfectly like receiving notifications changes song track etc. Oh also the silence phone setting from android wear app doesn't work
I just had this problem and resolved it by dumb luck.
I originally synced two Google Accounts to my watch. After updating apps on the watch, OK Google detection hasn't worked.
I found that my default account in Google Assistant on my phone had changed from my primary account. I removed all but my primary account from the watch, and selected my primary account in Google Assistant. OK Google now works again on the watch.

This exactly my problem. The phone says it is connected and the watch works, but the Assistant only says it is offline and cannot understand me. That drives me crazy. I have only one account synced. This Thread is the only thread so far that has my exact problem in it. I know it is a little older, but is there anyone with an idea?
thx and regards
My issue is the Ok Google gets locked into a loop. Whatever the first command I speak to it after Ok Google.. it just loops. Be it What is the time, what day is, send a message, etc. it keeps looping on that command. only seems to affect my Huawei watch 2 classic. phone doesn't have the same issue. have rebooted watch. If i swipe the google assistant away and execute another command, it loops on that one. I have both Facer and Watchmaker watchface apps installed. an issue like this should not have been present in a beta stage so I have to wonder.. what could I have on my watch causing this?
--edit--
Well... it seems Wear 2.0 does NOT like more than one account on a watch. I had three accounts hooked to the watch. My phone's private account. My professional email account, and a purchases account. 3 accounts. Seems that just wasn't how it wanted to work things. As soon as I cut out the pro and purch accounts it starts acting right. I have one account that my android devices get to access for uniformity of data but nothing else gets to use it. I have several emails for various purposes.
So if you have more than one account, as others have found.. remove them down to a single account. Things will probably start working right.
And its back to looping. basically.. if I say Ok Google, then wait for the ready prompt and give it a command "Set an alarm" it will process that command, ask when I want the alarm for, but feed itself the "Set an Alarm" command, ask when, feed command back to itself, ask when... on and on.
Had the same problem. Deleting cache and data of Google app on the watch worked for me. OK google finally works, but I cannot send WhatsApp messages via ok Google, what worked a few days ago with manually starting google by press and hold the upper button.
With Google even talking back works now
i solved the ok googlo hotword problem by deleting chache and data of google app on my huawei watch 2 and it started working again
I can't get Google photos to back up any of my pics or videos. I have it set up appropriately (never had a problem on any other device including my op5) but on the option it just says "getting photos" but that's it.
It won't even back up my photos if in try to do it manually
The only issue I have with Google Photos, on any device, is how janky and terrible the pinch to zoom is. I doubt Google even tests any of their apps anymore.
That's why I'll never use it as the main Gallery or to show off Photos. It's embarrassing.
As far as backing up, that seems to be working ok for me. As long as it's Sync'd under Account Settings, it's usually fine.

Had the same issue when I changed to OP5T.
It would sit at "getting photos..." and not do a thing (even the network speed in status bar was 0 K/s).
I resolved it by cleaning the its data and cache in storage (Settings>Apps>Application List>Photos>Storage>Clear Data) and go through the setup process again.
Hope it resolves your issue also.

Hey thanks that worked. I originally tried disabling and enabling it (that used to clear all data) but apparently not anymore. Clearing data for the app worked perfectly. Thank you
