Google account sign-in error

I'm on MoDaCo r12, and it has worked flawlessly thus far.
All of the sudden Google Talk started telling "Google Talk authentication error", and it keeps playing the notification sound at random and sometimes very often. Additionally Gmail has stopped synchronizing without any notice. Not a single error message!
I have never seen this strangeness in the two years of messing around with Android. Settings -> Accounts and sync sometimes tells me that "Sync is having problems and will be back shortly", but mostly it just doesn't work without telling me about any errors.
The log shows lines like these:
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1373): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}
Sometimes there will be methods listed in the curly braces, but mostly not.
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1406): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {googlelogin=WWW-Authenticate: GoogleLogin realm="http://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin", service=""}
I have tried wiping /cache, re-flashing the ROM image, clearing data in any apps I think might be related to Google services. E.g. Google services framework, accounts, account and sync settings, Talk, Gmail, Market...
I have even tried changing the Google account password twice. The phone notices it and accepts my new password like it normally would, but the issue remains.
This is a @gmail.com account. I have a Google Apps account on my phone also, and that one works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to wipe everything and start fresh, but first I would like to know if anyone has any killer tips on to get rid of this. I'm thinking there might be a cached cookie/auth token or something somewhere that's causing this.

That's not it I'm afraid. Using ClockSync, so it was only off by about one second after a reboot just now. I tried fix permissions in despair, but to no avail.
As noted above, my Google Apps account works fine, it's just my gmail.com account that doesn't work. Somehow it seems that Contacts and Calendar are sync'ed. Meaning the time and date of last sync on those are a few minutes ago, but Picasa is dated two days ago, Gmail yesterday.
I checked it on my Nexus One too; it pops up the password prompt (because I changed my pass) and then goes on to synchronize everything perfectly fine. Wtf could cause this! I haven't really done anything but read Twitter, Facebook and some RSS via Pulse before it stopped working. I only updated a couple of apps that is not related in any way and have not changed any system settings.

Fcuk it, I wiped it all and restored apps with titanium backup. All good now.

Hi, i to have a problem with Google account sign in but its with Play store, every time i try to use Play store it asks me to ether use an existing Google account or make a new account even though i have a Google account set up on my phone. So my question is how can i get back on to Play store with my Google account? Tried by removing my account from my phone then going on to Play Store and signed in with my account but when i tried going back to Play store again it asked me to ether make a new account or use an existing account.

I guess its becoz in some parts of the world youtube services has been shutdown and it as affected google services communication badly. I live in pakistan and here we cant access to google play and other google services as well.

Once had the same problem and until I realized I had an error with my baseband, I pulled out a lot of my sparse hair.
Make a good backup and try to flash new bb, then Google will recognize you again (I hope!!!!)

[Q] GMail Not Syncing on Rooted KFHD7 [RESOLVED]

I have a rooted KFHD7. SW is 7.4.3. I followed this thread to install Google Apps, and that thread essentially directed me to install these apps:
Account And Sync Settings-2.3.4.apk
Google Login Service-4.0.3-239410.apk
Google Play services-3.1.59 (736673-34) .apk
Google Play Store-4.1.10.apk
Google Services Framework-4.0.4-338691.apk
Vending.apk
I also installed Hangouts, Google+, etc.
Anyway, all my Google apps and Google push notifications are working fine. When I install the GMail apk (I just click it via ES File Explorer and I do not move anything to /system/app). it installs just fine. Upon launch of the app, it indicates that it is syncing, but never actually syncs. It just hangs (I waited several minutes).
I tried the latest GMail in the Play Store. I also tried version Gmail_4.5.2-714156.apk.
One I get GMail installed, my KFD will have all the GApps that I want on it. Any advice? Maybe I am using the wrong version or the wrong installation technique?
Thanks...

Have you tried it with notifications turned off? If it works then, then you're hitting a crash bug when Gmail tries to create notifications. There are a few fixes around the forums. If it still doesn't, I'm not sure what the deal is. It should sync fine.

Well, I installed the latest GMail from the Play store, then turned off notifications. Still looked like it was syncing... then... it worked. I see my email.
Thanks!

Have you tried to login in your gmail account in settings-my account-mail?

Yes, I did that too. So my GMail is now set to sync since I turned that on in the GMail settings.I also turned on notifications (within the Kindle App menu). Seems to be working just fine now and I have not experienced the issue with the notification bar... yet.

[Q] Google account sync error - "Sync is currently experiencing problems..."

[Q] Google account sync error - "Sync is currently experiencing problems..."
Hi guys,
I'm having issues with my Google account sync.
Google Play Music is causing my account to have a sync error.
I get the error message:
Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
And there is a sync icon with an exclamation point (!) by Google Play Music, when I press into my Google Account in Settings.
It's been like this for a few days now and I feel it's affecting my battery life, as the failed sync re-tries again and again.
Some forums have suggested disabling 2-step verification, removing the Google account and then adding it back, clearing app cache, etc.
I've done it all with no success.
For what it's worth, if I un-check the Google Play Music sync box and run the "Sync Now," sync all, their are no errors and the UI shows a successful sync icon.
I'm not sure what's going on here.
Thanks,

Try removing your Google account and then add it back. That sometimes fixes it.

I just came across your post from a Google search and thought I would post my solution. This literally happened to me today out of nowhere(never had a problem before) and it totally stumped and frustrated me to no end. I tried cache reset, factory reset, all that bulls**t and it didn't work.
This is how I finally got sync to work:
>>login into your Google account from a web browser eg: google.com, play.google.com, wherever
>>in the upper right corner go to where it shows your profile info, click on your picture, and click Account
>>on the next screen click Security
>>where it says Account Permissions click View All
>>you have 2 choices: you can revoke access on everything you see or just extra devices. Personally, I had 4 Droid DNA's and 4 Nexus 7's listed from where I've done factory resets or ROM installs and I had to reauthorize my Google account. All I did was revoke access for the ones that said "no activity in the past 60 days". Within seconds Google Play was already auto-updating apps on my phone, I couldn't believe it.
This may not work for you but it's how I got it to work. Good luck.

Google looks to be having issues today so I would bet that's the problem

Google Contacts Import / Sync

Hi All
i'm on ZUI 2.1.140
Google Play works normal
i wonder how to import / sync google contact since on account & sync there is no Google Contacts options
Thanks

You just have to install this 3 apks in this order, Google Contacts Sync, Google Contacts and Google Play Store. Don't forget to install Google Play Services if you need it.
Here's what you need. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=93727

Calendar also does not work on my ZUI 2.5, how to fix it?

Looks like the sync adapter does take care of the syncing for the calendar, works for me after the sync status has completed. But you could always choose to install Google calendar from the playstore. Then open Zui calendar > settings > then change the default calendar to Google calendar.

I managed to sync the contacts, my only problem is, profile pics are not synced. I had one Rom installed from Franco, the Sync Adapter was preinstalled in this rom, sync was with Pics.
Now on zui 2.5, no chance to get the pics.

hello,
my problem is, since i´ve installed nougat on my z2 pro, my google contacts doesnt sync anymore. with marshmallow was it ok.

Mine stopped working after a couple weeks but I got it going again. Definitely a hassle, though.
A little background: After a lot of playing with Mokee 7.1.2 (CONSTANT hard freezes with blue LED making me miss my alarm the next morning), RR, AICP, etc. I decided to just try and make ZUI work for me between Magisk for root and Nova Launcher. I had brought up a clean install from QFIL flash of ZUI 2.5.335, flashed TWRP 3.1.0 (LR.Team version) to recovery, flashed 2.5.415 update zip, installed Google Play Store, Play Services, Contacts, and Contacts Storage from apkmirror.com and set about making it mine and disabling Chinese system apps and so on. Spent some time screwing with Safe Center (which thinks AdAway is a virus, but oh well), it was pretty livable. Only hard freezes if I use bluetooth with my car too long, which IS pretty annoying. But I've never had it freeze overnight and make me late for work, and hey, the camera Just Works, and U-Health is pretty cool.
Anyway, after about 3 weeks it was working pretty well for me, I miss some of the CAF/AOSP kind of things, but at least they're deploying security updates even if it's still Nougat 7.0 based. But then I noticed a week ago contacts stopped syncing. I could switch sync off & back on for Contacts but it wouldn't update. I tried wiping data for all the Google things and even deleting and re-adding Google accounts, but that just resulted in no more switch to tell it to sync Contacts. Dammit.
I DID get it working again today: I removed all the Google accounts from Settings, then uninstalled Google Play Store (com.android.vending), Google Contacts (com.google.android.contacts), and Google Contact Storage (com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts - I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the package since I bought that long ago), and deleted the updated Google Play Services apk from /data/apps (com.google.android.gms - use whatever file explorer with root access you like, I'm a fan of Mixplorer from XDA Labs but I'm sure ES File Explorer will work great). Rebooted. Gmail app doesn't know what to do with itself now.
I then reinstalled with Contacts 2.0.8, Contacts Storage 7.0 (API 24 target, woo; maybe this will work better than the newer 7.1+/API 25 target one that I tried before), Play Store 7.9.30, and Play Services 11.0.55 (240 version - Android 5.0+, ARM/ARM64 v8 abi, nodpi) from apkmirror.com and specifically made sure to give them all full permissions access instead of leaving it at the more paranoid "prompt" settings. I then was able to re-add my Google accounts and get Play store and Gmail and all the other Google apps to see them again with a little effort (basically had to re-do all the Google apps; Play Books, Play Music, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, etc.).
But contact sync seems to be working again, both for new contacts created through a computer web browser and created on the phone. I'm a little worried it's only temporary, I guess we'll see. But deleting Google accounts, full deleting 4 packages, and reinstalling with full permission access seemed to work.

How did you manage to sync contacts? And does anyone else have "ok google" greyed out?

I am on zui 2.5.435 st installed via QFIL, BL unocked, rooted Super SU. The sync initially worked but after a few days stopped working as well.
New setup works again. But if I click on "Refresh" in google calendar the Syncing does not stop. Do you have the same issue? There is something broken.
Why can't we just use openGAPPS?

What ever I try. The Sync will not work. I reinstalled the google accound many times. Deleted all google apps. Started with Contact app but whatever i try. It always says: This account already exists on your device. Somehow after installing Google Contacts Sync it downloaded 47 of the 1250 contacts to the phone. Its not visible in Google contacts. those contacts are the contacts I recently added in the last year. Online I see all my contacts. Why cant I find all other contacts on my phone? I even changed data restrictions. Set it on "no restriction" and cleared cash and all after deleting google account end tried all possible varieties of this.. Still no success in the Contact app.. Weird thing is that when I ask Google app verbally to call some of my contactst it works. So all the contacts are clearly still in my google acount and even linked to my voice command for dialing. Only the contact apps dont show them.. What is wrong here? Spend all night trying everythng. Nothing seems to work..

chrome browser sign in

Anyone having issues signing into chrome?
Try downloading chrome beta or another version of chrome others then the one you have installed.
Open and it will ask for you to sign in to sync bookmarks etc.
Whenever I click sign in it brings me to the Google account log on screen and never signs into my existing account already on my device.
I tried to enter my credentials but says that account is already on my device. I have yet to be able to sign into chrome with my Google account.
Anyone else able to replicate this? Or have a solution?
I have tried removing my Google account from the device and adding thru chrome but nothing will let chrome sign in
Thoughts?

Yeah. Clear app data from chrome and then give it Contacts permission. Then go back in and it will work.
