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

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!

Hey everyone,
I bought one of the very first desires out on the UK market by buying it sim free.
It had been fine up until the OTA updates started coming through and now my phone randomly restarts or more annoyingly, fails to notify me of sms messages.
I only have JuiceDefender (lite) and APNDroid installed but there are times when I go to compose a message, enable wi-fi, or some other function on my phone and it will hang, then restart.
Everytime an OTA update comes through, I also lose the ability to use my GPS. It takes a few factory resets to get it working again.
Any idea's?
EDIT: OK, I fixed the problem. Let this be a lesson for people to remember to have a backup before doing some flashing. It appears that my Titanium backups of the default android apps were screwing things up for me. I fixed it by restoring to an older version, and only restoring my apps that I downloaded, and none of the google apps/data.
OK so I flashed the official Google stock image for 4.0.2 today on my phone. I then flashed the radio from my carrier (Virgin Mobile Canada) and rooted the phone. I restored all of my apps, and everything was working just fine for a while.
Now, when I go to use my phone however, the home button refuses to work. IT still lights up and plays the sound like it's supposed to, but nothing happens. I took a look at the logcat output, and there wasn't anything happening there when I pressed the button.
Also, the wifi and network signal icons are now greyed out as well and I have no idea why. It was working perfectly before.
Anyone else experience this issue and know of a fix? I'd hate to have to flash to my backup and start over again.
Silly question but have you tried pulling the battery>? If so maybe go in to CWM and fix permissions? Worth a try.
When the reception and Wifi/Data icons are greyed out this means that you are not connected to Google services. Check in Accounts and settings and see if Sync has been turned off or if there are any categories experiencing issues with Syncing. Mine was greyed out when I couldn't upload pictures to Google+ I disabled sync then re-enabled and that worked for me

Thanks, but unfortunately that didn't work for me. The home button still isn't working, and the icons are still grey. Though I can sync with Google services just fine.
Reset app preferences! Any fixes for these issues?? Have cleared cache partition,. got 2 new sim cards to no avail. Randomly mine n my husbands phones go straight to vm without ringing or showing missed calls!! Same for my son in another state. Cust svc is no help. Have cleared app preferences multi times. Anyone else with these issues?! Any help appreciated.
I had that on mine when I was running 4.3, but only with wifi calling. first random incoming calls, then all incoming calls would go straight into voice mail and then I couldn't even call out on wifi. Temporary solution was to change preferences to cellular calling from wifi calling. Then I updated to 4.4.2 (nf4) and its fixed now and it works fine with wifi calling and all. I suspected t-mo made some changes in their server software and either accidently or on purpose never tested properly with older firmware, introducing some bug, but feel free to call it wrong guess. The reason I suspected problem was on their side, was that I have not updated or changed my phone at all, since before problem started and installed probably only 1 new program, which later I deleted it as first suspect, but deleting it didn't fix the problem at all.
Did you ever install google voice? I was having similar problems because I had installed google voice, then removed it, thinking everything would be fine. It turns out you need to change something on your Google account also. There was a previous thread about google voice.
No google voice in my case. The program I installed I think it's called Wechat for text, voice and video calls over internet. I deleted it after my family came back from overseas vacation since no longer needed, but that didn't fix wifi calling until firmware update. Could have been some settings got messed up and weren't restored until update.

I reflashed firmware from SamMobile. Appears to be working better. Difficult to tell 100% yet. Appears the app prefernce requests are no longer an issue.
Hi,
I have strange behaviour with the latest update to Android 9 (as well as with the security patches from Dec as well as with the latest one of January):
If I'm on mobile data I get messages/emails from Signals and gmail only after opening the app manually. I already checked that the apps are not battery optimized and are allowed to use background data. Does anybody else also facing this issue? Which settings am I missing to change?
Furthermore I have an even more strange issue with working profile: I'm running whatsapp in working profile, it does not work on mobile data at all (even not if I open it manually). Access to internet works in working profile (e.g. chrome), but I can neither send nor receive messages on mobile data. Does any background app also needs to be not battery optimized ?
Argh, finally I got it. Resetting the apn settings solved the problem, see https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/mobile-data-issue-pie-update-t3884664
