In the mail today, I got my first touchpad from the onsale 2nd order spree.
I'm been trying for the last 2 hours to log in, and get through the setup phase with no positive results so far. When I try to log in, all I get is "Unable to log you in at this time, please try again later" with a BAC001 code at the bottom of the screen.
I've looked online at my webos accounts, and I do get the touchpad registered to my account.... but I still cannot log in.
I've run webOSdoctor multiple times, and the touchpad is on 3.0.2.
I've also tried to create a new account, but every email I use just results in a "there is already a registered webOS account with this email" even though no such account exists.
I'm at a complete loss here, any help would be appreciated.
*edit*
I don't believe this is a demo unit..... it was factory wrapped, brand new.

Good Evening,
I got my Touchpad last week and I've been trying to figure some things out.
When I try to log into a forum which requires authentication, such as XDA or WeOSbuzz I get stuck in a loop which does one of the following.
It will either keep reloading the page that says "Thanks for logging in"(Particularly on xda), or if I don't get stuck in a loop...the login information doesn't stick. No matter how many times I actually put in my username & password I can NEVER login via the Touchpad.
Secondly,
I'm trying to use my touchpad for GMAIL access. However, any outgoing message gets stuck in the outbox. I then get an error that I need to check my username and password. I've checked these multiple times, including deleting the account altogether. I've also changed the port to 465 with SSL, and 25 without ssl. Neither function correctly gmail's smtp server.
Hope it all makes sense...It's been a long day.
Thanks!!
I see the same thing with the xda site.

Having never used Android before, I bought my first Android device last month (Xperia Play) and installed it on my HP TouchPad. Of course, I had never used the Android Market before either, so when I made a test purchase from the Android Market I was surprised to see it go through without ever asking me for payment details. I got an email receipt to my Google account saying that I could get a refund in a certain amount of time, but I still had no idea what card or account it had been charged too. Eventually, I found that $5 had been deducted from my Chase checking account, presumably from my debit card. That's strange because I have not used Google Check Out or anything Google-related since the last time my check card was replaced, so I can't imagine how they got the payment details. It's on my twin brother's family plan, so it was not charged through the cellular provider either. To make matters worse, I no longer used that account and it caused an overdraft (corrected)
Now, I checked every account and settings screen I could find in the Android Market app but I could find nothing about payments or payment methods. I logged in to market.android.com on my PC and similarly could find nothing. I checked their help and FAQ questions: Nothing. I searched here: Page after page of irrelevant results. ARGH!
I'm ready to make more app purchases (Titanium Backup Pro, PdaNet, etc) but I only have enough in that account to cover the bills that I pay from it and I can't allow Google to withdraw on that bank account again. How can I switch payment methods so that it will not automatically bill the wrong account AGAIN?
Edit: "ARGH!" again. I found a thread about billing to your AT&T account being added and there was a screenshot distinctly showing AT&T billing as a drop-down in some kind of checkout page in the Market app. Thinking I must have somehow missed it, I installed Titanium Backup and then chose to purchase the key. Once again there was NO checkout and it just went ahead and purchased without ever giving the option to provide a funding source. How on Earth did they ever get my payment details and how to I manage them?!
I immediately canceled/refunded the order.

Log into your Google account on a PC and then manage you google checkout options. The card is in there.

Thanks, but I already looked for Google Checkout options in the logical places last month and found nothing, but I shouldn't have to even look: It is illogical that they would use the service without my permission and without informing me. Even so, I checked Google.com>More>Even More while logged in and searched in the page for "Check" with no results. I am logged in. On the Google page I only have search related configuration options.
OK, so I tried to go to checkout.google.com MANUALLY and it forwarded me to "Google Wallet," which I have never used before. I had to agree to all kinds of things just to get in there and delete the card, so it's like they were holding it hostage until I agree. One thing is for sure: I NEVER agreed to automatically be charged through the Android Market. *NOW* will I finally be prompted for payment options when I chose to buy an app? I'll find out soon.
They are getting pretty sloppy. First, I got slammed by over $30 of texting fees because their Google Voice app said it was receiving the messages in the messaging app instead of saying that it was forwarding them to my mobile number (Grrr... without even a warning about potential fees, they worded it exactly like the feature I was looking for: like iMessage and BBX or SMS GV Extensions on iPhone integrating with the native text messaging app).
The fact that there is no mention of GCO/Wallet anywhere on the Android Market options or help pages is a serious oversight.
Oh yeah I forgot that Google check was changed to Google wallet recently. I know when I buy an app it tells me what card it is charging it to before I buy it
same here. I didn't start using the Android Market until the 10 cent deals came out. It asked me if I wanted to charge it to my cell provider or enter a new credit card. Each time I make a purchase I have both of those options, though my credit card info is saved with Google Wallet or what ever it is. Then I have to manually enter my pin. I wasn't sure what this was at first, but tried my phone lock pin and that was it.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
SGH-i777 running CM 7.1.0 on Android 2.3.7. Carrier is obviously AT&T.
I can't for the life of me figure out how to add my Exchange account to the stock e-mail program. I've tried:
* Countless variations of server, domain, and username settings. I've followed this guide **can't post link** and several other guides. I do have access to my company's server information, and while I'm not sure which server is actually being used, I've tried them *all*, several times, and gotten nowhere. With a WiFI connection (no firewall) and just 3G data, signed in or signed out of Outlook Anywhere. No luck, just "Unable to open connection to server".
* K-9 connected to my account, but I was unable to see any e-mails - none would load, even when I had it force check. So I uninstalled it (would rather use the stock app anyway).
Is this a problem with my signal? I read that someone got help from their carrier - they made a custom APN, but that was in another country so I'm a bit skeptical. Can't call Samsung (it's Sunday) and their website offers no help. It's possible my IT doesn't allow phones to read mail, but that's highly unlikely - we've got lots of employees in the field, so this seems like common sense.
I did a lot of digging and this might be an old issue, but it gets pretty technical and I'm obviously a n00b.
What am I missing here???? PLEASE fill me in - I've put hours into this!!
It's quite possible that your IT group who manages your Exchange environment isn't allowing non-approved devices to connect. Typically these are security-certificate based and/or mandatory VPN requirements. I would suggest asking your Exchange administrator in your IT department about this policy.
Under Domain/username, did you try putting the "\" in front of your username? To configure mine I did this and had to use the host name as the Exchange server. Some things to try anyway if you haven't already.
Also ran into issues setting up under a public wifi at work, had to use the ATT network to make it connect for some reason.
I have my work exchange account set up.
Are you making sure to connect to the external exchange server (sometimes different from internal)?
Have you asked your administrator for exchange login details (my IT dept sent out a company-wide email once with those details)?
You might have to type the server name in manually if it doesn't auto-detect (the case with my work email).
Now, my work isn't as strict, but as the previous poster said; you're exchange server might not allow unauthorized devices to connect. In which case you'll have to contact your IT dept.
They may have simply blocked all android devices (until recently didn't support hardware encryption, and spoofed exchange permissions). If that's true, educate them.
The server name may be a link rather than a server name. Ours is mibile.XXXXX.com for example.
probably related to your company's settings. I run my own exchange server and got it sync'd fine with the current cyanogen nightly
I had problems with the stock email and our ms exchange server. I could set it up, but after a while it stopped syncing and I could never really get it back to work. I switched to Touchdown, and after a little trial and error with setup, it's working fine for me. There is a trial version for 30 days or so that you could give a shot. Happy to give you some pointers.

+1 for touchdown. I've been using it for about a year. It's far superior to any exchange solution the Google offers. I only wish it would populate Google calendar as it does the Google contacts. The UI is getting dated as well. I wish they would come out with a cosmetic update or theme capability.

Seems I can not post in the correct forum (too new).
I spent several days trying to unlock my rezound via the htcdev website.
Usually late at night the htcdev website would be responsive.
Not to say I couldn't use it sometimes during the day, but at night
it was more reliably available.
When the website is overloaded it displays a message that it is under maintenance.
I would go through all the steps, and then it would say it had an error.
I contacted the htcdev support, and the email I got back basically said
Screw you, we can not help you - just follow the directions on the website.
Now here is where it got interesting.
I decided to go into my htcdev website's account and change my email address to match my google email I use with my phone.
Then I went through the steps again, and it succeeded and said it sent the email. But even after waiting hours, the email never arrived.
I tried this over and over and over and no email came.
Then I tried it again using another gmail address I have, but got the same results. It succeeded and sent me an email - an email which I never receive.
Then I went again into htcdev's website account and kept trying every email address that I have, and shezaaam (from gomer pyle) it worked - and the email arrived within seconds.
The email address that worked had no special characters, was all lower case, was two characters long before the "@" and is my personal domain name email.
Perhaps this will help others.
Regards,
Howard
P.S. What this means is htcdev's website is very buggy, and one needs to try to work around its problems.
i think HTC Dev was just having problems.. it was down not too long ago...
So, a few months ago, I tucked my Amaze 4G phone away b/c I got a new phone with a different carrier. I reset it too and so all my accounts were removed. I doubt I threw out my SIM card, but, it's not in my phone, I probably put it away somewhere.
I then read about how I can use my old phone as a GPS. I first had to root my phone.
So, I found this forum and I got to step 3 based on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1426377
I did get a successful message (I can't remember the message now, but, it seemed successful), but, what exactly does it do? Should I have an extra recovery file on my computer or phone? I don't see any new file created on my computer. So, I just want to make sure it worked properly before moving on.
At the same time, I tried logging into Google Play using the app, it doesn't work. It says username and password mismatch. I tried it using my browser and I can log in. Does it have to do with not having a sim card. Do I have to have a carrier to log into Google Play app. I tried adding the account in the the settings and it still says I can't log in. Any ideas. I tried countless times, it can't be a username / password mismatch. I tried it several times on the browser without a hitch. Why is that?
I'd like to install a gps app on my phone, but, I can't log into the Google Play app.

So you're connecting over wifi? The sign-in may not work from a phone until you've told the setup app to try again, then press settings before inputting username/password, and selecting browser log-in.
The browser will open on your phone, and you can sign-in that way. You most likely had 2-step authentication enabled, and the sign-in setup doesn't account for that, thus the browser. The second part of the verification will be whatever you've set up with google for the second step--be assured though that if it's a code texted to your phone, you can't receive it on an old gsm phone without a sim card--you'll have to receive it on the new phone, then input it into the field in the old phone.

I see, that worked. Thanks.
I guess I'll put my other question in a separate thread.
