So I've played with several roms and because I like the older calender and contact apps for their syncing (or lack of problems syncing) with facebook etc. I am currently using GB. Firmware 2.3.3.
So my issue is this... several of my apps constantly require logging in. I've even had some widgets not work. A data tracking widget kept saying to input settings, a weather app kept asking for my area, words with friends would even give me a notification but when I clicked it I was then told to login. What am I missing? Any recommendations to fix this so that my apps don't constantly require me to log in?

This started happening after I went to CyanogenMod a couple of months back, but it's still happening with 4.2.13. Some of my Android apps refuse to authenticate even after I check login credentials and verify that they work fine on the desktop. Some examples of apps that always fail:
PayPal
Personal Assistant
GetItDone (a beta app)
Some examples of apps that have no problem ever:
Pandora
Last.fm
Facebook
Seesmic
Evernote
all Google apps
On #cyanogenmod, someone suggested there was an issue with APN settings, but I think he misunderstood me. My phone itself is fully authenticated with Google.
never mind
I use the HTC keyboard and I find that it almost systematically inserts a space every time I type a period. This screwed up my username wherever it was my e-mail address.
I was spring cleaning my app settings on Facebook.com when I accidentally deleted the HTC Sense app that Friend Stream uses to post status updates, and for the Friend Stream widget to show all recent updates.
But now that I had removed the HTC Sense application, Friend Stream does not show any updates from Facebook, except for status updates that I create through Friend Stream and all updates that were posted to Friend Stream prior to removing the application from Facebook.
My first instinct was to reinstall HTC Sense to my Facebook account, but I noticed that after I made an update via the phone, HTC Sense is back on my application list. I checked the settings on Facebook, and all options are selected so on that end, everything should work. Through my phone I had removed the widget from my screen and added it back in, I have tried updating the information manually, and I have tried refreshing my "friends" which was an option in the full Friend Stream application on the Hero. I have also tried removing my sign in information for Facebook, and inputting it back into my phone.
What I have no tried is a factory reset on my phone, as I wanted to see if there was a solution that did not involve doing that.
I am on firefly 2.1, speedmod k13a. Google voice is 0.4.2.13. Just recently, my phone has stopped syncing with my gmail accounts (2) and my google voice app. Synchronize inbox and inbox notification checked in voice. Background data and auto sync enabled in system.
I first noticed thus when I had to manually refresh my voice app to see new messages. Then I realized that my gmail was not receiving notifications for new emails.
Things I have tried: reinstalled voice, flashed firefly 2.1 again after master clear, sign out of voice and clear cache (this one worked for a while, but eventually lost sync again, and restarted the phone (also worked in the beginning, but eventually lost sync).
I'm not sure what to do since email and texting are the two main things I use my phone for besides internet. I need to fix this problem, but not sure how.

just flashed serendipity 5.12 and i am not getting gmail push notifications, have to manually refresh to fetch emails
anybody know how to fix this
Ya know.. now that you mention it... I don't think I'm getting push notifications anymore either .. and I'm on Andromeda ... gonna have to test it tomorrow.
Edit: today
I was having a similar issue on multiple roms. The solution I have found is to drop the Gvoice widget onto one of my home screens. When it's there, I get everything right away, possibly because it forces the phone to keep the data connection open full time?
Although...the other day, I was getting them slow on my computer too, I think google was having some issues.

Yeah i tested today and i seem to be getting push just fine. Was reading online that google did happen to have a snag with there servers, resetting 100,000+ email accounts. That might have had something to do with it.
My default email account works, but whenever I try to enter in a new email account, I get the following message:
"Unfortunately, email has stopped."
I am using Dynamic Kat Rom and have rooted the device using the standard instructions included for room, including installing TowelRoot, BusyBox, SafeStrap, etc.
I've searched everywhere for similar issues, and what I've read is that My Magazine has to be installed and running, which I do have, and I enabled it.
Here are the details on my phone:
SAMSUNG-SM-N900A
Android 4.4.2
Baseband N900AUCUCNC2
Hardware version REV0.3
I have to solve this or I'm going to have to go back to stock, which I hated because the bloatware had me looking at a loading icon for 5m every time I opened email. Ironically, the phone is massively faster now but I can't get my other gmail or my work exchange emails on it.
Minor side issue, I am seeing a green check mark in folders for app icons instead of the normal app icons (which I can see when I look at all apps, and it's random on the app - most have their normal icon, some do not).
So I've been working on this some and have successfully added new Google email accounts by adding Google accounts to the main account. Yay!
What I can not do is add a Microsoft Exchange email (my most important need). I get the error listed above about the email not working.
I can launch the My Magazine that was apparently an issue for others and the email app. It runs and gets information, so I don't think its that (unless there is something else I have to check relative to that, but I cant find the original thread discussion that others refer to sometimes in other threads).
Happy to report after monkeying around with every setting imaginable, I've got it to work now.

Google Play was installed out of the box. i downloaded all apps through there.
-google contacts not syncing.
-i get no push notifications like from the Ring app, youtube or ESPN. i did tap on allow when i first opened the apps.
-is there any way to get google news to appear when i swipe left on home screen?
google photos, maps, play store, stadia all seem right.
maybe there’s a solution. i read through older threads and didn’t find one.
any help appreciated.
I noticed that the preinstalled play store sometimes does not work properly. I had to reset device completely. Play services are part of the rom and available right after reset, I just had to download and install the play store itself.
Google Play Store 25.5.27-21 [0] [PR] 375135971 (nodpi)

As for notifications, you might wanna disable or delete the power save app from vivo and enable staying connected all time.
If you factory reset your phone, the first app to download from the vivo appstore is Gboard, which will prompt you to download Google play. I logged in to my google account afterwards and have no issues syncing to all my contacts, calendars etc
For notifications not appearing, a lot of users experience problems with the vivo provided power management app (com.vivo.pem) cause it interferes with how your apps sends notifications or frequency of push notifications to save power. You may use adb to disable it or uninstall. Hope this workaround addresses your push notification issue
i fixed the contacts and calendar (also had no calendar entries) sync issues. i went to APKMirror.com through chrome and downloaded the latest Google Play Store. I had version 24... on my phone and the latest was 26... I installed it through chrome and it installed over the existing app. I uninstalled calendar and contacts and re-installed them. calendar worked immediately on opening. but contacts didn’t. i went back to APKMirror.com and downloaded and installed Google Contacts Sync. I now have my contacts.
to get the push notifications working I went to Settings -> Applications and Permissions -> Permission management -> Permission - Background pop-ups and none of my installed apps were toggled on. since enabling them, I have received a couple of notifications with the phone in my pocket. maybe the vivo power management app is still causing problems because im not getting most notifications.
can someone point me to learn about "adb". I've seen that in a few places here and i don’t know what it is. im a long long time android user since google's first t-mobile phone but ive never had a need to tweak.
thanks for the help so far. just need to get my notifications and im pretty much all set.
so my only goal today was to install adb on my mac and "learn" how to use it and hopefully disable com.vivo.pem
installed on mac, enabled developer mode on x60, have access to device...
using: adb shell pm disable com.vivo.pem I got an error message
using: adb shell pm disable-user com.vivo.pem i got a successful prompt
when charging my phone and having the apps opened in the background (ESPN, Ring, Fast Mail) I do get push notifications. also get them while using the phone with the apps open in background. but with phone sleeping and in my pocket i get nothing. any ideas?
my issues are basically resolved. hopefully this will help others. I read in another thread to enable "mobile data always on" in the developer settings. as long as i have the apps open in the background, i now get push notifications when the phone is sleeping and in my pocket.
Which carrier are you using in the states? And do you have volte or vowifi?
im using it with tmobile. i don’t know how to check for volte or vowifi. i don’t actually use for phone calls. maybe make 1 or 2 calls a year. lol
