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!

Hi,
I have a One X, 1.28, unlocked&rooted, logged into Google Play on both the device and play.google.com with the same account, saw my apps on play.google.com and on the device, but the One X is not listed on play.google.com/store/account . Anyone else having the same problem?
Cheers,

Remove your Google account from Accounts and Sync and try again.

Thanks, tried that, re-added my account, but no luck. My phone is still not visible from play.google.com, nor does Google Talk work (doesn't show any contacts).
Found the solution: Clear data/cache of Google Play and Google framework services and restart.
this is not working for me But I didnt find it in "list of Supported Devices"
Your phone or tablet isn’t a supported device. There is no way to manually add your phone or tablet to the device list on play.google.com, and you will not be able to use the Google Play website.

Got the same official response from HTC. Try deleting data of Google Play, Google Talk and Google Services framework, then restart the phone. Took ~1 day for the One X to show up on play.google.com though.
same for me. dont see one x on google.play
Works fine for me. Unbranded One X
Hi guys,
Ever since getting my HTC One X I've had this problem. I spent absolutely hours trying to sort this out and even posted a thread on here however it didn't seem to get any replies or anything, so I was left to solve the issue myself.
People that have this issue, typically experience the issue with the 'Play Store' too. If you try updating a stock installed application such as 'Street View' you get an error message about it not being currently available and being processed later. I spent hours messing about with this, and it turns out the issue is with the accounts!
Remove all your accounts, Google, Facebook ect, especially your HTC account. Clear all the data & cache from the Google Play Store, Framework Services ect. Set up your Google account first and open the Play Store, accept the terms and conditions ect. Go to 'My Apps' and it should have nothing listed. Set up your HTC account then go back to the 'My Apps' section of the 'Play Store' and you should have updates available. If you don't, re-do the steps stated above, however set up your HTC account before the Google account and remember, WIPE DATA!
Tell me if this works guys

This only happens if you have no internet connection (duh!) or have pending downloads on your account associated with another device. It shouldn't be the issue here, as the pending downloads time-out after a certain amount of time
I have location issue using foursquare, my location is blocked at some point and even if I go the 10km distance in Foursquare appear my old position. I dont know if is a issue with the app or the phone.
Note: I tried "Force Stop" and "Clear Data" for the Foursquare and the problem is not solved after I login and get back into the application.
If I open Maps location is indicated correctly
same here

I have tried now and also The weather channel app cant find my location
* to specify: GPS is not activate
Any other people have this issue
Forgive me for being a noob but what's foursquare?
I know it's not a circle but please tell so I can verify as well.
Edit; I already figured it out myself.
It's an app available in the Playstore of Google.
Btw @Op, I think this thread is opened in the wrong section,
this is general section and you are discussing a app, so why you didn't open in app section?
That's why it confused me, I taught it was kind of GPS hardware or something.
Thanks!
I had this issue a couple of weeks ago both with the weather app and Foursquare, also the maps location was correct for me.
The problem disappeared after rebooting the phone. Have you tried that?

Yes, is working after a reboot for a while but after some days the problem appear again. I think is a problem from the phone, not the several weather apps and foursquare.
I also have had this problem.
Anyone has resolution?
Guys
Is there a way to delete the work location? It seems I need to put something in there and don't have a daily work location. I don't mind when Google now sees an appointment in my calendar for a particular location but when my calendar is empty, I rather not have the alert
Thanks
Have you tried looking at the Google Now settings?
yup every tab in there. I can change the work location address but not delete it
You can also disable the notification.
Go to Google maps on a browser you are logged in with your Google account on. Click my places and edit / delete your work location. Don't know if it works but worth a shot.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
Went to google maps and it did show under places and I deleted it. However, it still shows up under google now on my phone.Tried rebooting but didn't help
Why are you trying to remove the saved location? Did you try the setting to just disable the notification?
If I disable the notification, it'll disable everything from Home and I don't want that. I want it to give me notifications when something is in my calendar but don't want a default notification to work because I don't go to my work location every day
I have settings specifically for "Before commute from home" and "Before commute to home". I'm pretty sure those are only for work and have nothing to do with travel time to other meetings in your calendar.
Does anyone have a solution to fixing a broken GPS? It just keeps searching for a location but doesn't pick up anything
Very frustrating because that's what I mainly use my phone for. It just started doing this after I upgraded to 4.2 yesterday. I dropped my phone yesterday also so I don't know which one is the cause for my GPS issue. Thnx
Try one of the gps toolbox apps to calibrate and fix the agps data. Or try FasterGPS, which I think needs busybox, to set your location.

I had this same problem with connecting to google play. Here are the steps, goto apps, scroll tap 'ALL' apps, then:
Delete data on Google Services Framework
Delete data on Google Play Store
Sync your contacts
Delete your google account completely
then add your google account back in and sync your contacts
this will get you to back connected into google play store.
For GPS, go back into ACCOUNTS and click on google.
this is what I did, not sure the effects, but navigation now works:
Location -->turn ON (let google apps access your location)
Off course all my location settings was already turned on, but here's somewhere/something else that needs done.
I hope this helps...
