Just opened my viewsonic Gtablet from Tigerdirect. Ran the OTA update and now running 3588, otherwise straight out of the box.
I am unable to log into any account using an app (mail, contacts, skype, tdameritrade, twitter apps). I am able to log in fine when I visit the website and login through the web.
Is there someplace I have to grant apps permissions to use the internet? Why can't I log in?
Thanks.
Just checking if anyone else had this problem. If not other responses, I'll let this thread die. Thanks for reading.

No. There is no special place to grant permissions to use the internet. Do you get any kind of error message? Force Close? Some indication of symptoms might help us diagnose the problem.
Get an app called Superuser. You will need to root the tab, as well. I think there's something like "oneclickroot" out there.
Honestly, grab a custom ROM, they all come with this standard.
Rooting shouldn't be necessary to make any of those apps work so I doubt that will help him.
Google login fails, 2 step verification is culprit
This may not solve your problem, but it knocked me for a loop for a whole evening with my new motorola defy this week.
You get a new android device, and everything looks so nice, but then you try to log in to your google account. Repeatedly. You keep getting an error that says the username or password are wrong, even though you can log in on your pc. OBVIOUSLY the password is fine, but it wont work on your new android device.
Well, if you turned on 2-part authentication then you have a problem. (If you have never heard of 2-part authentication then move on, you would have to have done this on purpose and it is way to painful to forget having done it.)
Android doesnt support 2-part authentication. So you have to generate a special password for your android device.
Start by logging in to gmail, or whatever google service you wish. Go to your account settings (the little gear-looking thing in the upper right.) Under Personal Settings, Security you'll see an entry called "Authorizing applications & sites". Go here and make an entry for your device, and it will generate a special password for that specific google application that doesnt happen to support 2-part authentication. Enter your super-secret password.
Suddenly the world is golden.
Probably not what the OPs problem was, but I wanted to put it SOMEWHERE.
grrrr....
there's an annoying problem i began to experience regarding facebook app
and its when i go to any group or page like for example : "troll football"
it starts to talk like: "troll football cover photo...info...etc" and when i point to comments it says :" comments... 1.6 k likes" and "clicked" when i press anything in the page
although Driving mode is "off" ..and talkback is also "off"
so any solution for that ??!
Greetings,
while staying in a hotel in Mexico last year, I tried to use my G+ to share some photos with friends and family.
I was able to use my phone quiet normal, meaning it was possible to send emails (including using the gmail-account), browse websites and use WhatsApp and Skype.
But when I tried to use G+, I was prevented from logging in. Instead I received an email (ironically from my gmail account) saying someone would have tried to hack my account and I should log in to check, if everything would be okay.
Just, I was not able to log in, neither using the G+ app nor using the web login with the browser.
After I got back home, I could log in normally and I was asked if I want to continue using my account from Mexico in the future. I said yes and was asked to log in from Mexico within 10 Minutes, what was unfortunately not possible from the other side of the world.
I would like to prevent that from happening again, so my questions would be, if someone had similar problems and what needs to be done to get access from everywhere, including from a hotels wifi in a foreign country.
Thanks,
Ferdi
Not sure where to post this to get help with this weird little problem... But recently I read about Facebook notifications being able to come through Chrome for Android, negating the need to have the app installed. However, when I visit the site in chrome I never get a pop up requesting permissions for notifications like some ppl are saying I should get. I go under site settings and Notifications are set to "Ask First" and toggling the switch just disables them completely. Even sites that I can go to on my PC and get a notifications request prompt will not give me a prompt when I visit them in chrome on my phone, so I don't think this is just a problem with FB.
I've tried clearing cache and data for Chrome, reinstalling it, using Chrome Beta instead and never get the notification access request or anything.
If someone has any ideas, I would love to be able to uninstall the Facebook apps and just getting notifications through Chrome. Thanks!
*edit* I should probably mention I am using a nexus 6 with Android M preview 3
same here
any update on this? were you able to find a fix?
I've contacted Facebook's support but couldn't get anything other than the auto-reply.
Please let me know if you've found anything.
lg v20, it's still an issue
