[Q] Trouble syncing Gmail, Play, Chrome, Contacts etc - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a secondhand S3 mini, which seems to work fine, except it won't sync with Google. I log in and enter verification code but it won't sync downloaded apps, gmail. play, chrome. Network connectivity is fine, auto-sync is on, software up to date, but since I first switched it on 6 hours ago it won't sync google.
Can anyone help?

If it had a old account (the other user account), delete it & sign your gmail account instead.

I did a factory reset and have checked the accounts. Also tried deleting the account and starting again several times.

Just to complete, as it's working now, I got it to sync to Google by switching off 2 stage verification (from my laptop) for 10 minutes whilst I logged in from the phone. Don't know why this worked, but it did! Dev

Google + Mobile issue, wrong account

Hello all...rarely post, been here for years though...since this is a relatively new thing, figured I'd post and see what people have to say or if anyone else has the same issue...
I have multiple gmail accounts...pretty sure most people do...I have been invited to google +..woot! but the mobile version of the program only shows one of my gmail accounts....not the one I have an active google + account with. I do have 2 step verification active with my main account...wondering if anyone else has seen this yet or has fixed it? Thanks in advance!
Ok..so..I found the solution here. http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=0b4b96e720c902a8&hl=en
If you have multiple accounts on your phone, remove them, join google +, then re-add the accounts afterwards...
they cant be serious....I have 7 accounts (say nothing!) and not sure if laziness trumps curiosity :3
lol, I hear ya...not quite 7 here...but close..(5..>.>...)..my curiosity always trumps laziness...lol

here's what I did, after I encountered the same issue:
erased everything from the app, uninstalled it, reinstalled it and suddenly I can choose from my (7) accounts
works perfectly fine

The app was updated today to properly support multiple accounts (according to the release notes)
yup...just several hours too late for when I needed it..lol

[SOLVED] My Google account just vanished!

Earlier today when I switched on my phone and tried to access Market, I was asked to re-enter password. I entered two passwords I remembered and I couldn't log in. Then, I tried password recovery. I couldn't answer one call and I couldn't enter the proper recovery code in the second call.
Now, when I try to recovery password, I get an internal error message. All my Google profiles such as Google+ profile and Blogger profile are returning a not found error.
So, what just happened to my Google Account? Was it hacked and someone deleted it? Or, Google deleted it for some violation(without giving me any notice at all)?
How can I get in touch with Google and recover my account? This account is really important to me. I have a lot of stuff linked to it as well as my whole address book.
I was gonna tell you on G+ today. The form you made which I maintained is down as well.

Hmm yea. Looks like every service has gone down. My problem is I don't know if my account was compromised or it's a Google issue.
If my account was compromised and deleted, I have to act fast. Alternatively, if it's a Google issue, I can wait. The problem is that this account had so many of my important contacts, photos, 5000+ bookmarks, few years worth of email and so on. =(

Log in to your Google account from a PC and change password. Try phone again after this.
A couple days ago, I entered the Market and it told me that my account wasn't correct. It didn't allow me to do anything, or change my password. In a last ditch effort, I resynced the Google stuff. That fixed it. I'm not sure if I had the same problem, but you could try that and see what happens.

Coming to think of it, I think I must try that. However, I can't remember the exact password either. =(
Sounds less like somebody being 'hacked' to me than it does somebody having forgotten their Password and locking themselves out.
What happens when you try to log in from PC?

It says incorrect username and password. Going to recovery page gives an internal error message.
I have been locked out after forgetting password earlier as well but I was able to reset every time. Now, I can't reset either.
Give it a day or two, I was locked out from my phone once, seems an infectious spam mail tried sending out messages to my contacts but Google stopped it before it was able to execute a send function. I was restored after trying with my old pass the next day.

Internal error sounds like a problem their end. As above, try again later. Don't worry though, your account will still be there!

I was able to get to reset password page today. I couldn't reset it yet because the phone which had my SIM acted up and didn't let me read the text.
Nonetheless, this is my guess.
After a certain number of failed attempts to reset password, the password recovery option that was used is blocked for 24 hours. Since I had only one recovery method, it has given the error and locked out my account.

"Xperia inside Facebook" does not work at all

Hi everyone,
I got my brand new Xperia Z yesterday and, coming from an old Wildfire S, I absolutely love the speed and smoothness of this phone. I have set it in the last few days and everything works apart from the "Xperia inside Facebook"-syncing-thingy (I hope that's what it's called in English as in German it is "Xperia für Facebook") which is the on-board programme to sync contacts, statuses, calendar and stuff, if I am not mistaking (and obviously I cannot tell as I cannot use it at all)
The problem is this:
When I want to activate this I have to confirm that the app can use my facebook information. After that I have to choose whether the app should inform my friends about me using it. No matter if I click "confirm" or "skip" here, always the following happens: I get a message saying "Error. Try again later"
I did try later, it never worked. I also
- deleted FB-account on my phone
- restarted phone
- deleted FB and restarted
- deleted FB-update in case the error was because of a new FB version
- checked security settings in FB
- tried with Wifi and 3G
It doesn't work at all! My brother has the same phone and he just tried once and it worked! Really annoying!
Any idea how to solve this problem?
Cheers.
So did you add facebook from the settings sync menu?, there is also an xperia with facebook, which is mostly for syncing your social life feeds, for me in the latest ROM .434 this no longer works, on my phone now just shows No Posts, or maybe I have no friends anymore.

Hey,
Yes, that's what I mean... Xperia with Facebook... I tried to sync that, but I just can not log in! I always get the message "Error. Try again later"... I can sync with normal FB, though. I just Xperia with FB was better as I could also sync calendar an stuff...
I am still on .350 software version of the XZ, as my provider does not support .434...

Sorry I can't help you, because I have not had an issue with configuring this manually or through the wizard when you first setup the phone. Although now have discovered why social life was not working

Is there actually a way to configure it manually? Because I used the wizard as well, but it, as I said, crashes on the final step and I have no idea why! But thanks for your answer, anyways.

Adding it manually via settings and accounts, add account. I would remove it from there, then reboot the phone, then use this method to add it back, and see how you go.

N6 not visible in device manager

Hey guys,
I`am having a problem with my Nexus 6 not beeing recognised in ADM and on the web Google Play site in device manager though it shows up in Google Play and syncing goes without problems. Running full stock MMB29V not rooted.
I contacted Google to look if the issue is beeing caused on their end because i tried everything else to solve the issue on my end.
Things i tried:
1.
1) Go into multitasking and close Android Device manager if it is open.
2) Open Google Settings app. Then go to Security. Uncheck both Android Device manager options. I believe they are Remote Erase and Tracking.
3) Go to Settings > Apps > All > Google Play Services. Clear cache and data.
4) Reboot
5) Back to Google Settings. Recheck both options.
2.
Did a data factory reset
3.
Reflashed the factory image folowed by a data factory reset.
4.
Booted up in safe mode.
ok @gee2012, ill try to make this painless..
now, in my n6, when i go into device manager, it cant find my n6. BUT, if i open my device manager app on my sgs4, it finds my n6 right away. it just seems like an android/google issue.

Visibility isn`t my main problem per se, i also can t enroll`in the N beta program for instance for automatic updates becasue it says i have no eligable devices linked to my account.

Weird.
A friend had this same issue while trying to enroll - he got around this by adding a second Google account (you could create a new dummy account I guess if you don't have a second one already) to his phone, and signed up on the preview page using that account.

Could do that, but i want to know whats wrong my account (settings) or at the Google end and why it doesn`t link my phone to my account in the ADM.
Understood, and agreed. You'd want ADM to be able to locate your device in case it goes missing.
i'm exactly with this problem too on my nexus 6p.
i'm not able to see my device on ADM, keeps spining. already did all the troubleshooting i could find including the ones on the original post.
i do have another 2 google accounts on my nexus and no problem with them on finding the device in ADM and also the nexus is showing up on androidbeta enroll devices.
It might be something related with my primary google account since there is no problem on the other 2 google accounts.
The only thing that's different on my primary account is that it is protected with 2 step verification.
it's really weird and i really wanted to enroll to android N on my primary account.

My primary account is 2-step secured too. In Google Dashboard it also shows 2 Nexus 6`s , the primary secured one has the option to remove it from the account and the other non-secured one can`t be removed. Hope Google can solve this annoying issue.
I'm having the same issue. Even my second account doesn't show up.
i turned my location off, then my n6 stopped showing up in device manager. i turned on my location, and my n6 showed up in the device manager.

I tried everything humanly possible including your suggestion, at last i made a bugrepport and sent it to Google after contacting them and after investigation they can not determine the cause of the issue and they said they get back to me if they have a solution. I`am using 2 accounts atm so i can at least sign in properly.

Question Android 12 Beta - Carrier Device Manager requests are processing

I'm using the Android 12 Beta 2 on a T-Mobile Samsung 21 Ultra and I keep getting the Carrier Device Manager requests are processing message constantly. In addition, I tried to use the eSIM feature and lost signal 2 mins after setting up. Had to go get a physical SIM to get service. I have reset the phone to factory settings and the error is still there. suggestions?
Same here.
It is already reported on the Samsung Members Android 12 beta forum. Apparently this is something T-Mobile needs to fix.
Ok, I have a theory, but I'd need someone on Android 10 or beta 1 to verify for me. If you're not on beta 2, could you check if Carrier Hub notifications are off by default? I think they accidentally just left it default on in this build.

If you have the members app and were officially signed up for the beta, you will see the posts under questions.
I looked.. I couldn't find it.
I have the same issue with carrier hub on TMobile. I .also getting lots of apps that being reported as failing or something that Samsung asks if they can freeze them.. the samsung watch plugin is the one most often being reported but others are doing the same.
