Hello everyone,
I have a problem uploading photos to my picasa account from my sgs2. Syncing emails, contacts and calendars works pretty fine. I can also see my picasa web-albums in the gallery app and they are up to date, but when I try to upload a photo to picasa I always get the error "authentication failed".
I already removed my google account on the phone and added a it again with another application password, but the error stays the same.
The same with other applications in the market for uploading photos to a picasa account (Picasa Tool, JustPictures!). With these apps I can also view my web albums, but uploading always fails.
Does anyone else experience this error? Does it have to do something with the latest security issue of android phones (being able to steal authentication in open wifi) and the google fix? Because just two weeks earlier it worked fine with my HTC Desire. Or am I just doing something wrong?
I had the same issue with the picasa app which is already installed.
I got the 'picasa tool' from the android market which worked fine after loggin in with the google account.
Thanks for reply!
I found my problem and could resolve it!
My picasa album reached the maximum image limit (1000), so every uploaded image was rejected and all applications gave an authentication error. When I tried to upload a photo over the web interface I got another error from google "server rejected" and searching for it told me that I could have reached my limit.
Well, it would be helpful if these applications could tell the user that the album possibly reached the limit.
Anyway, I hope I can help other people who run into the same problem.
I had a similar issue that I wanted to share. The issue started after I installed Google authenticator. Everyday (usually once a day, hard to reproduce), I would get a sign in error, which would make me put in a human readable word to correct it.
Looking into it more, found that it would put error next to 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' (Settings -> Accounts & Sync) and state that it is temporarily unavailable but would never come back. This would also make the albums I have on Picasa unavailable on my phone. After removing authenticator, I would still get the same issue. VERY annoying.
I tired everything I could think of: Changing passwords, wiping the phone, forcing log out on every device accessing Google services...
Then I went to Picasa settings and disabled Analytics for my account and updated the setting. BAM... Worked ever since.
I hope this helps someone later.
Other details that may help: Evo 4G, running CyanogenMod-7.0.3.1
When I go to share a pic in the gallery to Picasa it goes to the upload screen for a split second then to a Google account screen asking to to create or sign in to a Google account. When I sign in using my gmail it says this account is already on the phone. I can log into Picasa via PC. Is it something I'm doing wrong or is it a bug? Thanks.

It seems to be a rather common problem, for at least the last year. I verified mine did the same as well. I'm looking at reasonable solutions, but none have been forthcoming.
Edit: It seems that as things currently stand, your options are to either install "Picasa Tool", create a second google account, or factory reset and try your luck again. It's apparently an issue with the google account setup, and since you cannot remove the default account your stuffed.
Thanks to hockeyfamily737, clearing the data and cache for the gmail app resolved the issue.

I wonder if anyone else has this issue. But after doing the newest root method to get s-off and such it seems that my Google account won't sync. It says its unavailable and will be back shortly. Although it got my contacts
Did you try removing the account and re-adding it?
Did you have Sprint re-authenticate your phone? (Error 16)
I didnt see this...any other details?
hey guys i hope you can help me with this. whenever i try to upload a video to youtube from my gtab 10.1 i get the error "Failed to retrieve account information". its driving me nuts. i also notice the same error when trying to upload pictures to picasa. my tab is unrooted with stock touchwiz. anyone else have this problem?
~UPDATE~
i've actually discovered a way to fix this so if anyone else is having this problem. you have to log out of your @gmail account in the youtube app. then click on the my channel section, it will prompt you to log back in. instead of loggin back into your @gmail account, click add new account. then type in your username and put @youtube.com at the end of it and your password. you will then be able to upload videos no problem.
hi. I am having the same problem. I tried the @youtube.com but it didnt work. Also, I am unable to upload to Picasa. Any ideas?
If I drag the email icon to the ring on the lock screen it asks what kind of email account. I pick GMAIL, it asks for the user name/PW & then says "getting token failed" & won't retrieve my mail.
If I unlock the phone however & then click the GMAIL home screen icon, it works just fine. Does anybody know what's up with this??

Never mind, I got it working.
~John
same issue..... can't get it to resolve
would you mind telling me what you did to resolve the issue? I'm using a Droid RAZR and am getting the same "getting token failed" message.
Thanks!
I had the same issue, and all my searching brought me here. The way I got my email to work was rather than setting up "AOL" and "GMAIL" accounts by selecting them by name, I went to "accounts and sync">"add account"> "Mail", then just entered the email info and it did not throw back that getting token error.
Hope this helps someone.
