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.

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.

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 searched around and have not found anyone posting with the same issue but I cannot figure it out.
In the notifications section at the top of my touchpad there is constantly a message from google.
It has the g icon and it says "Google Web login required."
I tried signing in to every google option I could find and even went on to my gmail account through the browser and nothing I do removes this message....
Anyone have any suggestions?
try removing your google account from account settings and readding it.
I've had the same issue and you need to unlock your google account using the captcha. Just google "google captcha" and unlock the account.
you don't have two step authentication enabled on your google account do you?
have the same issue and did the whole unlock thing and still have the issue. And no I do not have 2 step verification nor do I want it. If that is going to be a requirement to use an email client then screw gmail I will go back to just using yahoo which is my main email. What is with google and making things anti user, they have to make everything so convoluted. All yahoo does is similar to what my bank does when I add a new billpay, just sends a confirmation email with a link to disable it if you did not add it. Got that when I added my yahoo email to my touchpad, and it is working fine. But no google has to have their 2 step verification, sorry I do not want that hassle, even if it is just once a month, its complete overkill.
anyway, I just set it to update manual only so I don't get that annoying message every 2 minutes if I keep getting it will just delete the account, still working fine on my android phone.
Hi all
I've a stock UK TF201running 2.6.39.4-00003 - xxxxx
My tablet used to update everything really swiftly and check the registered email account regularly. However, for the last 8 weeks or so, my calander hasn't updated and emails come through as and when. Quite often Gmail closes of it's own accord on opening with an error message allowing me to report it. I've been sending these off regularly but no remedy has been forwarded.
When I look at the "Account & Sync" page under settings, I see taht the Google account has a red sync circle by it instead of a green one (as I have on the Skype below it). Tapping on the @gmail.com account shows "Sync Browser", "Sync Calander", "Sync Contacts" and "Sync Gmail" all with a apostrophe by them and a check mark ticked. "Sync Google Photos" and "Sync Picsa Web Albums" however do not have a syncy symbol or the apostrophe but do have the checked symbol. At the bottom of the page almost like a note, there is the sync symbol with an apostrophe and the message "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly".
Does anyone else have this or know how to rectify it? I've looked through the web and a number of phones running Gingerbread say to enable background data to get rid of this. I'm on ICS and this option is not available.
As another diagnostic test, I tried adding another gmail account that I have. This also shows exactly the same symptoms as my existing google account "experiencing problems back shortly" message.
It is very frustrating and I really don't think that Google are going to provide a solution seeing as it's been ongoing for over 2 months and they haven't even acknowledged this as a problem. Having said that, it may just be that some of my settings need amending or something.
Desperate for your advice and suggestions.
Regards

Anyone else using the stock mail app for Yahoo mail having issues recently? My last received message was Saturday the 15th. If I try to sync, I get 500: Invalid server response. I can't even remove the account because of the same error. I try sending myself a test message and I get prompted for a login error. Tried resetting my password and no luck. I know I can use the yahoo mail app, I don't want to. Wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same.

I've been getting the 503 errors also. tried clearing Email data and have removed the account as well. Can't set up the account on my phone again beause Email setup doesn't show in the setup and I still get the 503 errors. I will let me setup the Yahoo account under "Others". I finally gave up and grabbed the Yahoo Mail app, it works better for me anyway.
Same issue here and my wife's S3 is doing the same. I comes and goes and I can't delete the account because I get the 503 error. We need a fix because this is basic functionality.

My wifes bionic is giving login errors but then logs right in since yesterday.
Go under settings> application manager> all and clear the data on the email app. From there you can now select the email app and choose "other" login with your yahoo mail credentials. It recognizes it and completes setup. Thats what im using now.

The thing is I am stuck with this notification "Account action required' for this email id that was from work from my previous job. I deleted the account and then its password was changed from my work as it no longer belongs to me. But i am stuck with this notification and it's not going away. When I click on it asks me to sign in, which i cant cuz i don't have the password obviously. In settings, accounts section that account is no more there as i already removed it a few days ago.
Its driving me crazy, please help get rid of this notification!
