I flashed my Desire HD with CyanogenMod 7 and I would like to sync my phone to my Google account to download all my contacts and such from there.
Under "Accounts & Sync settings", I clicked on the "Add account" button and entered my email address and password correctly.
When I click on "Next", there's this "Retrieving account information" screen and the "Server settings" page comes out where I have to enter my Domain\Username, password and server.
Domain\username:
\(my username)
Password:
(my password)
Server:
gmail.com
When I clicked on the "next" button, I got an error window saying that "Setup could not finish | Unable to open connection to server".
What should the settings be? I tried to google for the settings but I must have used the wrong keywords because I couldn't find anything...
Thanks.
Gmail server settings
Thanks, Nobnut!
I realised that I should have installed Gapps along with Cyanogen in order to connect to my Google account. Now everything's sync-ed and is going fine.
Thanks again, Nobnut. Please do continue to be active in this forum. There are many people who need help.
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.
Hi all,
i have a huge problem. I'm using CM10 and i can't sign in google account. I type account name and password (in google play store) and he drop me and back me in menu. I try with settings => add new account - again the same type account and password and again drop me, but this time back me in settings.
I try to flash graps but still nothing. the same problem.
I reinstall the rom and same. I try go flash first graps and after graps to flash the rom and nothing.
I try when he ask me for new or existing account to make new google account - still the same sh*t.
Any ideas?
Thanks a lot!
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.
