Everytime I try to get into the market it asks me to do a google sign in and even though I enter the right password it won't let me sign in. Also won't let me switch email accounts to sign in with.
Running stock android 2.3
try running the setup app can you change the account through there?
If you go to Accounts & sync, check to make sure that your Google account is listed under there. If not then add it and then check to see if everything is working.
HTC One M8, Android version 4.4.3, HTC Sense version 6.0, Software number 2.23.841.1
I hope somebody can help me out with this issue.
Today I tried to enter the Gmail app as usual, but it displayed an "Add a Google Account" option and asked if I want to create an existing or new Google account. I backed out and tried Google+, and got the same popup. Weird as I've had a Google account since I first set the phone up.
I went into "Settings > Accounts & sync" and discovered there was no "Google" account under "Manage accounts". Very odd. So I tried re-adding my existing Google account, and it seemed to add the entry back under "Accounts & sync". But after this, any time I tried to enter Gmail or Google+, I would get an error message:
"Unfortunately, Google account manager has stopped."
I decided to play it safe and do HTC backup, factory reset, then restore from HTC backup afterwards. Upon restore, it found my Google account again, and for a few hours everything seemed fine, and I could access Gmail and Google+ without any issues.
About 5 hours later I tried to enter Gmail again, and got the "Add a Google Account" popup again. When I checked "Settings > Accounts & sync", my Google account entry was gone again. Wtf!
I had not installed any new apps or changed any phone settings for a week or so before this happened - it was completely out of the blue. I do have auto-update enabled however.
At this point I have no idea how I can fix this issue, as a factory reset hasn't solved the problem, and my Google account in "Accounts & sync" keeps disappearing after a while. When I try and add it again, I start getting this error again on opening Gmail/Google+:
"Unfortunately, Google account manager has stopped."
The only thing I can think of is that a bad software update has been rolled out by Google, and is installing after a short while on my phone and nuking my Google account, but I have no idea where to go from here.
Has anyone experienced a similar issue or perhaps knows how I can fix this? Thanks for your help!
tl;dr I'm seeing a sudden problem where my Google account is inexplicably disappearing from my "Accounts & sync" section, and a factory reset doesn't resolve the issue.

Thank you for the quick reply! I tried this the first time around (before doing a factory reset) but I was still getting the "Unfortunately Google account manager has stopped" error. Just to make sure I performed the steps correctly, I should:
- Go into Settings > Apps > All
- Under the app pages for "Gmail", "Google Account Manager" and "Google Services Framework" I should press "Clear cache" and "Clear data"
Interestingly before I saw this reply, I decided to do another factory reset + restore. This time when the google account disappeared, I readded it back manually (specifying I had an existing account) and it appears to be syncing and working correctly now.
Perhaps I missed a step the first time around in clearing the cache and data? Thanks again.

I do know for a fact that Google is having server issues today. The problem should solve itself in a little time.
I'm getting a "sync is currently experiencing problems" message on my phone, and hangouts was having problems loading on my pc with a message about server problems.
EDIT: looks like it's working again for you, but not me yet. lol
I'm sure a reboot will hook me up again.

About 24 hours after posting this reply, it actually exhibited the same behaviour again: My Google account disappeared from "Settings > Accounts & sync" and it asks me for a google account (or gives an error about Google Account Manager) when I try and open Gmail/Calendar/Hangouts/Google+. Pretty frustrating! I'm not going to bother factory resetting the phone again as that clearly didn't fix the issue... fingers crossed it's a Google server problem they're resolving.
hello,
I have a Galaxy Nexus and just fresh installed the latest nightly from CM and the latest gapps Nano, when I want to add my google account though it says it needs a browser sign-in so I sign-in from the browser (2 step verification) and after the successful sign-in my account shows up in the browser but the sign-in process doesn't continue, I can browse my account and stuff but I'm stuck there, do I need to press something ? the only option I have from the sign-in screen is "Exit browser sign-in" and if I do that the account does not appear in the list.
Thank you in advance for any assistance

I had something similar happen when loading up a 4.3 ROM. Never had an answer to it. One thing you can do is use your PC and disable 2 factor authentication and then sign in as normal on your device. Once signed in, go back and activate 2FA.

hello,
yes that is what I eventually ended up doing and it worked ok, seems google 2 step authentication doesn't work very well on older distributions of Android
thank you

Hey,
i want to sell my redmi note 5 and after flashing global stable (coming from AOSP, no arb) i cant finish the setup of MIUI
It says that i need to login into the owners google account
Is there any fix? I cant sell it like this lol
After the initial setup (and sign in) the setup wizard will ask if you want to keep your credentials on the device, if the message doesnt appear try to unbind the device in google accounts.
Enter previously used Google credentials then you will get prompt message whether to keep previous account or to add new account
Just select new account and then you are good to go
