So my friend locked my phone out. I Knew the gmail account linked to the phone but i forgot the password. I resetted the password on a computer but when i enter the new password in the phone it doesn't work.
I tried all my various passwords, including the null and it didn't work.
I don't remember if my phone sends notifications for emails because i only made the gmail account when i bought the phone (therefore it isn't my primary account and no one sends emails to it).
I have wifi connection and also 3g connection on the phone.
I am thinking the gmail account did not sync, therefore my new password isn't working. How can i sync the account, or do i have a workaround on getting this to work?

Hey, try to delete the gmail account, restart your phone, and then re-add your gmail account with your new password. If that doesn't work, I suggest backing up all of your contacts and information onto your computer and then factory resetting the phone so you start with a clean slate.

Hi
Just received my first HTC handset (Hero on T-Mobile) on Friday and really liking it.
However, while I have set up my Hotmail ok, I cant set up my Sky email on it
I have enabled POP on my account and I enter my email, username and password and configure the POP settings with Sky's pop address (pop.tools.sky.com), SSL and set port 995. When I click next and it tries to verify the info it comes back with "authentication failed, please verify Username/password".
I know the password is correct! I have tried the username with and without the @sky.com bit but still get the same error.
Having done a quick search, I have found similar problems and have tried a factory restore and an email app (k-9) but still no joy.
If is probably something obvious but I have no clue what to do! Any Help??
Hello.
Yesterday I have received a new phone - Motorola atrix 4g AT&T.
I still at all haven't received an unlock code, but i use it for internet surf. I was registered motoblur account. And i tried to download any free software from android market, but all what i see it's status bar - Starting downloading, and nothing more happens.
I'm going to main menu and tap on the GTalk( name on the screen "Talk") application, but this doesn't want to work, he said to me - Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly.
pls help me, i don't know what i need to do for get a working Gtalk, i have gmail account and i was recieved all my mails and contacts, i activate sync in Account menu.
I in shock, it my first phone on an android, and I can't normally use it.
p.s. Sorry for my bad english.
I believe, that only members of this forum can help me.
Just to check, you re connected to wi-fi correct?
if yes then maybe try to add your gmail account again?
When I first received my atrix I had issues when trying to download apps. The wireless connection would cut out, but it would still look like it was trying to download. Try a reboot and see if that fixes the problem.
Yes, my wi-fi connections is correct, because i watched videos on youtube and surf in internet.
And i'm tried re enter gmail account, and nothing i create a new gmail account but the result hasn't changed.
I'm try to use this system code *#*#8255#*#* and i click "Send heartbeat to server" and was get error - "The application Talk(process com.google.android.talk) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again."

I had a Galaxy S3 (4.1.2) working fine on exchange server 2003.
I broke the screen and replaced it with a Droid Razr Maxx HD (also 4.1.2) . I set-up the corporate exchange email account following normal procedures. It accepted everything using manual set-up, started syncing the exchange account (up to April 5th) then it started coming up with a incorrect username or password error. I verified the password and tried again until my exchange account locked me out.
I called IT, they verified username, password and server settings. unlocked my account, and I attempted to login in again 3 times unsuccessfully until it again locked me out. Rinse and repeat. If I factory reset the phone and unlock my exchange account, it will again initially work and start to sync, then go back to the same error.
They created a new user account for me as a test. Everything works fine on the new account. They are reluctant to delete my current exchange account and move me to another one because I work for a local government agency and all my activity is discoverable under the freedom of information act and this would greatly complicate things.
I tried to go back to my broken SIII, an now it will not log on to my exchange account either. Same username and password error as Razr Maxx HD.
I also grabbed a spare phone, a Samsung stratosphere (2.3.6) and my HP Touchpad runnning CM9 Tenderloin and both log on to my exchange account just fine.
Verizon says everything is provisioned correctly, that it is an exchange problem. My IT says nothing has changed at the exchange server and that my current account and the test account have the same settings.
HELP!
Hi all,
I recently lost or had stolen my S3. Its on t-mobile uk. Its been reported and blacklisted. Unfortunately due to the battery nearly dead and having it blacklisted and maybe the sim removed i could not track and wipe via Samsungdive. Could anyone please advise what will be visible on the screen etc. T-mobile have said only the phone connection, mobile internet and sms are essentially blocked. Im concerned about other data such as already downloaded emails, texts ect being visible and navigation around the phones file system being possible. Would someone be able to look at email apps(system default, gmail and yahoo) or the text app on the phone? Also if a new sim is inserted, would that by any chance effectively create a new profile thus preventing anyone from viewing my old emails and texts etc. I have changed all my passwords. However im thinking of transferring all my emails to new email accounts, deleting the emails from the old accounts and setting the passwords for the old email accounts back to the same as on the phone. Then if the phone connects by wifi the email apps should hopefully update and delete the emails on the phone. Of course hindsight is great and I know I should have had a phone lock in place.
Cheers

If you didn't have any lock at all then everything on the phone will be available, IMEI locking will only prevent the phone connecting to mobile data, making calls or sending texts. Inserting a new SIM won't remove anything.
If you had set the email client to leave emails on the server then you can download them to your pc, delete them from the server, which would delete them on the phone if wifi connection is ever made.
Unless you had your visa card details on speed dial I wouldn't worry too much, it's probably already been factory reset and sold to a mug in a pub.
Thanks for the reply. Ive just noticed....... I changed my google password as a precaution. Ive just switched on my nexus7 and of course it asked for the new password. Therefore I guess if the lost S3 makes a wifi connection it will also ask for a password.
Edit** Sorry it asked for the password because I was connecting to the play store not upon switching on the nexus
