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?

OK, I searched for this, saw some posts but without any answers.
I logged in once and when when I logged out my FB account, there was no way for me to log back. All I get is famous "There was a connection error while attempting to login".
Is that a server error, a temporary problem or I gotta do something?
Thanks!

I've found it to be a temporary problem when setting up new roms, usually i turn off the data connection then turn on wifi and retry it, seems to work 9/10
It's an old question, but since this was the nr 1 hit on Google when i searched for a solution to this problem, I'll post my solution here.
The error message is pretty cryptic, but it's actually an authorization error. You have to give the program (FBTab) access to your FB information before it will work. This can be done via Menu > Settings > Facebook API. The internal method didn't work for me, but the browser method gave me a nice 'Allow'-button to press. When you get a clean page with 'Success' in it, your FB tab will login as it is supposed to.

can u be more specific?
ru referring to on the cellphone - where can i find the setting for " Menu > Settings > Facebook API"?
the odd thing is:
i can NOT login with fb account#1 - "There was a connection error while attempting to login".
however, i created another new fb account just for testing purpose and i am able to login with this fb account#2 with no problem.
the only difference i can think of is that i changed my contact email address for fb account#1 once a while back. i've never had any problem login with the updated email address in the PC browser. but i can't login with my touch pro 2 using either the old email address or the updated email address.
what could be wrong?
I found on these forums before that unlinking your YouTube account from your Google account stops any login problems and lets you login to your account through the Data Services tab in Settings.
However, Google have changed their policy so you're forced to link your Google and YouTube accounts when you login on your computer. Now whenever I try to login on my phone, nothing happens. I enter my username and password and when I click Login, it just goes back to the previous screen with the Youtube slider still set to Off. I'm using the right password as if I spell it wrong on purpose, I get an error message telling me that the password is wrong.
I've been searching the forums for an answer to this and cant seem to find one, does anyone else have any idea what tod do? I liked having the upload to youtube feature but I can't do this now.
Thanks.
Got this exact same problem and would love a fix if there is one?
Same problem here as well, hopefully a fix comes along
Same Issue
WTF is that all about? I don't know what annoys me more, incompetent back end admins or the money people/merger managers who merge everything and think data magically goes together all the time flawlessly!
I have this same issue and I forcefully unlinked my account and it wont let me get into it online but at least I can upload from my phone.
I hope Google fixes this soon!
I have the same problem in my Blackstone! Nothing happens in account manager and directly after I recorded a video (youtube share)
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

I have the exact same problem. I have looked into every setting to find out what it can be but to no avail. Try to see if you can send it over wi-fi, cause I can, as soon as I'm on mobile data the problem starts, and I know it's not carrier related have tested different carries and phones and all OK accept this one.
I'm beginning to think it may be a problem with the stock mail app, don't know about other guy's, but I'll see if this thread can help with the problem, or else I'm just going to try K-9 or something and see if that solves the problem.
I cannot send also via wifi , dropbox also cannot upload . Sometimes it does but 100/1 chance
Thank you for reply .
email sending problem
Hello ,
I've also this strange problem.
It doesn't matter which eMail account, Application (standard/K9) or network (provider/WiFi) I use, I get to 95% the message, that the email is to large.
New is, that I get this message now also on eMails with just only text inside, means no attachments.
I searched everything through, no solution.
So, the S3 is useless.
Anybody fixed this?
attachment not going using Gmail on my Galaxy S3
Please help. While composing new mail I can attach files to my mail. But it's actually not going to the recipient.
If sending from hotmail it's working perfectly.
Using S3 international version.
Hi,
Same problem here and cant seem to find an answer anywhere?
I am able to send emails without attachments on 3g or wifi with no issues, I can send emails with attachments on wifi. However I cannot send emails with attachments on 3g file size 1mb, I have tried gmail and active sync with no luck.
I can also receive emails with attachments with no issue on 3g and wifi?
Any help appreciated on this as cant seem to figure out what's causing it, tried several roms all with same problem, currently running XXDLIB.
Can't attach files from external memory card to email.
Trouble attaching files to emails with my new Galaxy S3.
If I use Gmail's file attachment option, the only choices I get are Gallery and Dropbox. Shouldn't there be an option for me to use the "My Files" App to browse to the location of the file that I want?
If I start with the "My Files" App and browse to my External SD Card and to the file I want and then press and hold the file, I get a dialog that will allow me to "Share Via". If I choose Gmail it will place the attachment on the email. However, the attachment doesn't go with the email and there are no errors to let you know that it did not go.
If I perform the same steps and browse to a location on the Internal Storage and choose "Send Via" the file attaches and successfully transmits with the email.
It seems that the phone cannot attach files from an external SD Card. Could this be true?

Good!!

Hey all,
This is a very stupid problem, for which I can't find an answer. Somehow I'm not able to use the login form at, for example, hotmail through the browser (standard and chrome). I'm able to enter the right details, but somehow the login fails without an error. Does anybody have a similar issue?
(visiting hotmail with chrome is a pain anyway since it shows up very big... Is this something that could be solved as well?)
thnx!
