Yes, me too. It doesn't seem to be a constant problem but rather once or twice a week as a result of certain tasks. Sorry no help to OP.
remove the account in sync and add it back.
I have the same problem in my TFP and my SGSII. I will try the solution above and see if it works.
If you have 2 step verification enabled, you have to go into your Google account on a computer and generate an application specific password.
Actually i figured it out it was the browser sync..... i had to clear the browser data and it was fine after that.

Hi there
I have been using Korand wm6.1 v3.1 for couple weeks. It is quite stable and fast until toninght.....
i set up an IMAP email account to my company's email. But tonight when i tried to connect to the server seemed i couldn't connect.
Then i went to its option to check everything. When i DONE the last step and it went back to the page Select an Account my company mail box just disappeared.
I have had this problem on other roms before - it just seemed disappeared but still there coz when i tried to set up an new account with the same name it reminded me that i could not set up an account that already exists.....
Can anyone advise how could i fix it?
Many thanks

hi rondol,
i've tried it several times but i still couldn't see my account.
when i pressed Repair it said repaird successfully but no matter i rebooted my phone or not i couldn't find it.
also i tried the option Auto repair after reboot, still failed.
may be i need to check the website of this tool to see if there is an updated version.
r there anyway to repair it, or to delete it then i could re-set it up?
many thanks anyway!
Hi, can anyone help me? keep waiting.......
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)
As the title says I am currently unable to setup and sign into my gmail account. I just flashed the mr2 radio and GINGERTH3ORY V4.2X Tweaked/God Complex rom and when i try to set up my gmail account i keep getting the "your username and password do not match. please try again." Idk if this makes a different but i do have my gmail set up to do the google authenticate thing were everytime i use one of googles services for the first time i have to input a certain code.
This is unfortunately one of the reasons I stopped using google authentication. If your near a computer you can go into your account setting and click on the two step verification link and it should take you to a page where you can create a password for an application. Once you have the password from the site go back to your phone and put the password in as your google account password.
The only downside is every time you change roms and you have to put your password in for your account you have to get a new password from the site. I decided to just make a much stronger password for my google account and stop using two step verification.
I hope this helps!
This fixed it! thank you so much, and here i kept thinking i did something wrong. and just raped my battery life flashing different roms trying to fix the problem. I was starting to get really frustrated
No problem, I went through the same thing but I was away from a computer so I had to get on my wife's iPhone just to get me a login password.

Lol, you guys didn't figure out how 2step verification works before signing up?
Yes, you need to use two-step verification to log in via a web browser (or the browser on the phone...lolz), and then create a unique password for each individual app that wants access to your goog account.
I used it for a while, but decided it was too much of a PITA. There's other options for strong passwords, like a coded wallet card thing that I saw a while back...
Yeah this: http://www.passwordcard.org/en
O yea its a PITA at times. I'm sure it would work fine if you keep your phone stock and never have to wipe data but when flashing roms and radios that require a full wipe it sucks having to go back in a get the password just to log in to your google account again.
EVO 4g LTE running Fresh ROM 5.3.1
So Friday I was using my phone all day on Fresh 5.2.1 and didn't have any trouble at all...went to bed and woke up Saturday to a popup message in the corner that said sing in error for "blank"@"blank.com" (blanks were one of my email accounts fyi it didn't actually say blank) click here to sign in. When I click it says signing in------ the it says "Couldn't sign in" "A problem occurred while communicating with Google servers. Please try again later. That's it...no matter how many time I try it says the same thing. If I go home it will go away for 10 or so minutes then come back. All my data for that account (which is my main account on the phone) works fine...email...contacts...internet...everything. I tried everything from clearing the cache in the play store to disabling Google+ from my account through the computer to "uninstalling" all the extra Google apps, uninstalling the update to the play store killing the services that I didn't recognize even going to the account and unchecking all the boxes so it doesn't sync anything...it still pops up. I updated to the newest version of Fresh in hopes that would help...nothing. I wiped the phone on Sunday and restored to factory wiped Dalvik/Cache everything. Loaded the main account again and nothing...never saw the error again. After a few hours I loaded all the rest of my accounts and programs back to the phone and all was good. UNTIL today. My phone was in my pocket and I must of had the power button mashed down because I felt it buzz and when I looked it had restarted....and what do you know when it was back on THERE IT WAS AGAIN...the stupid "sign in error" popup AGAIN...someone please HELP!

Maybe it could be push malware. Have u downloaded any apps outside the market? Have u tried airpush detector from playstore?
Any app that has certain permissions
can see your email. What better way to get your password?

what is your email client? is it hotmail?
HTC EVO LTE
I have not but will try airpush...and my email client is my website (@blahblahblah.com) not really blah blah blah it is through godaddy and is handled through google apps...so once i set up all my dns settings with google they handle the mail portion for me. I have had it set up this way without change for over a year with no problems and I still get all my emails to my pone
I just tried airpush detector...it didn't find anything
It could be something that requires 2 step authentication, you would need to finish the setup for that error to go away. Just a stray thought
I just changed my password...and it still pops up with the same error but recognizes that I changed the password and prompts me to actually enter it. but I still get the same failed to communicate with google servers message. I even deleted the whole account from the phone and I still get the popup error
Hmm...I've had this issue with stock sense but I don't remember how I fixed it, I think I eventually did a factory reset
Did u do one of the YouTube streaming mods where u changed http settings or anything?
Try cleaning cache and dalvik or maybe even google caches and hotmail? I'm at a loss here.
No I didn't do any youtube mods or anything...I have cleared all the cache from any google app I have including the play store...I will try and just clear the main cache and dalvik...I want to say I have done that also but can't remember. Also...now that the account is removed from my phone it still pops up with the error...but now I get a menu button...when I click it it lets me login from browser...it takes me to what looks like a gmail login screen with my email already filled out and a password box to type in. I put my password in...it flashes to a black screen with the signing in progress bar going across the top...then disappears. All looks good at this point...BUT sure enough about 5 minutes later...sign in error popup again.
On a side note...I know it isn't a problem with dns settings or the host because with google apps you get up to 10 email addresses from my 1 domain that I own. My wife has her own set up the same way on the same phone running the same ROM/RADIO and virtually the same programs...Hers runs fine
Clearing the cache and Dalvik didn't solve the problem...I have now added the account back to the phone...we will see
Adding the account back didn't fix the issue either...the first time it happened last Saturday I did a factory reset...and that indeed did fix the problem...however only for 2 days...then it came back...I really want to get this fixed as opposed to flashing again...its not really critical ad all my data works and emails work but it is supper annoying

Do u have the gmail app or u have it on stock mail app? Maybe try switching it out? Shutdown or freeze the one thats giving u problems.
When u go to the gmail site is it legit? U counter check it through DNS to make sure it isn't a phishing scheme?
Im using the gmail app...I get all my mail fine...I have unchecked the account so it doesn't sync anything and it still pops up...I have deleted the account off the phone and it still pops up. It's almost like the account is doubled up or something on my phone. It's almost like one is complete and one is just partially installed and stuck in the setup process. Now when I go to my internet browser...I logged in and it says location unavailable...when I click restaurants...there is an option to update precise location...I click it and it turns grey but never actually updates the location

I was getting it too. It was Wallet.
I would try to log in with the wallet app and it would tell me my password is bad. I hit the menu button and chose "login via web" or something like that. Browser popped up, I entered my username and password and it went away.
Hi guys,
I can login to Gmail.com on any desktop/mobile browser however whenever I try to add a Google Account on my phone, I get this error:
“ Sorry…Your username and password do not match. Please try again. (To recover your account information, go to http://google.co.uk/accounts on your computer.)"
I have tried changing the password but its still the same. I know its not a password issue as I can login to google.com on my desktop and laptop.
I also went to this site and tried to add a Google account but it did not work.
Tried setting up a different Google ID and it worked right away. So it looks like there has to be some issue with my Google ID.
I have no idea how it happened as it was working fine until I reset my phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Dinesh
weird, does Your new Google ID differs a lot from old one? I mean the syntax?

Hi there. The other Google ID that I used was not mine, it was of a friend of mine. He can use his Google ID but I cant use mine.
To answer to your question, yes our IDs are different.
U have something that they call as '2 step verification"(i don remember properly) on?
I had this issue where I had it enabled and i couldn't login from my phone. Went via PC, disabled it, then worked!
life!
I got same problem. This happened after i click massage "warning:someone signed in to your account from a different location" when i open youtube on my computer. Until now i can't use my account on my android.
Please help me.
