[Q] How do i fix this? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Flashed to CM 7.2 and everything is working fine now.
Exept the fact that i can't use the facebook app (cant log in)
But i can log in using the browser... which is odd...
I cant log in to gmail, email or any application that required account name and password.
I cant go to accounts and sync and add an email, it wont work:
While trying to make a "facebook" account (logging in with account and password)
I get this message: An error had occurred during the sign in. please try again later.
While trying to add a "corporate" account I get to server settings and its all filled in.
Domain/username, password and server (hotmail.com)
use secure connection (ssl) is checked.
then i press next and get this message: unable to open connection server.
I have no idea what i am suppose to do now, logging in with pretty much any app simply wont work.
Thanks in advance.

Did you make sure to flash gapps immediately after cm7?

[Q] Facebook sync - There was a connection error while attempting to login

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?

[Q] Login issues with email?

Hi,
I have a rooted NC. I fired up the email program to retrieve my Yahoo email and it prompted me to put in my email address and password. When I clicked "Next", the Nook looks like it tried to setup the email, but then came back and said "Bad username or password". I triple checked both and even logged in via Web Browser successfully, but couldn't via email. I also tried the manual configuration for Yahoo, but it still didn't work.
Has anyone seen this and know a solution?
Thanks!!!
Found most of this on another forum and tweaked them a bit to work for me:
1. Press the E-Mail icon (the default Android E-Mail application).
2. Enter your Yahoo E-Mail address and password.
3. Press “Manual Setup” in the lower left hand corner.
4. For “Incoming Server Settings” set the IMAP server to “imap.mail.yahoo.com” and the Port to 993 with SSL Security.
5. For “Outgoing Server Settings” set the SMTP Server to “smtp.mobile.mail.yahoo.com” and the Port to 587 with no security.
6. Check “Require sign-in” and press Next.
7. Select how often your device will check for Email, and choose default options.
8. Give the account a name and set your display name for outgoing messages.
This should get it working for you.
Excellent!!! That did the trick. Thank you very much for the help biggins!!!
No problem. Glad I could help.
This works for me too. Thanks a bunch!
I'm having issues logging into my Google accoutn after having upgraded my Nook to CM7, repeatedly getting the message that my username and password don't match ....
Figured it out....had to go for some special password because of the 2 step identification that google has...

[Q] Galaxy 10.1 and exchange accnt

Hello,
I'm having trouble adding my exchange account. I am able to add the account, but then it just stays on loading and shows up blank. during the setup it doesn't ask to allow remote access for the server. The weird thing is, I have a user who hasn't started yet and was able to add their account to the tab correctly but I cannot add my own. That confirms the settings are correct.
I have my exchange account added without issue to my galaxy s phone and am wondering if having the exchange account on two Android devices causes any issues?
Any ideas before I try a factory reset?
Gone a little bit deeper with this. First off, when I add another user's exchange account to my tab, it will prompt with the dialog to say that the server is able to remotely wipe the phone, etc. However, when i try to add my account, it doesn't prompt for it and just goes straight to the settings. After it finishes and i get to the mailbox, i just says loading, stays blank and doesn't show anything, the calendar doesn't sync either.
I have noticed somethign else, when i use outlook web access I can see the phones added to the account (including the tab) but only when i go to OWA light, if i use the regular one it says no devices added...
Is it possible that activesync will only allow one device per user account? Right now I'm planning to delete the account off my galaxy s and try to add again. If that doesn't work i may wipe the 10.1...
Any idea?
Dear,
I had a similar problem, and could not find any information about this. However, by accident, I discovered that it will work only after your remove your google account.
So I suggest that your remove google account and try to add the exchnage account and see if it works.
But if it does, I don't know what to do later on if you like to add it again.
Good luck.
Yeah, there's no such limitation on the Exchange side. About the only screw that could be an issue is a self-signed SSL cert - which likely isn't one, since you said that another user account had succeeded.
It won't be an exch policy on you either, since it is working with with your S.
With that... blow out the other mail things on the tab, and start with exactly the Exch account as st70 suggested.
Gonna try mine now and see what it does with 2 gmail accts already configured.
Thanks for the suggestions so far!
Note, that the other exchange accounts that were added correctly, were added to my tab 10.1 correctly even with the gmail account already there. I am able to add two other exchange accounts however I cannot add mine one.
I removed the gmail account and tried again, did the same thing.
I removed the exchange account from my Galaxy S, went into outlook web access and removed all my devices from there and turned off the phone. Then I reset the galaxy s to factory default and tried again... didn't work...
Went back to the Galaxy S and could add the exchange account again easily... very annoying...
Note that when I add the exchange account, the first difference I notice is that it doesn't prompt to say this device can be controlled remotely by the server, etc but it does when i add the other exchange accounts properly.
Second, when in email, it just says loading and doesn't load. When I go to calendars, my exchange account shows up there, but when i click on it it says
"No Calendar Available".
The worst part of all this is my my boss has an ipad and was able to add his account pretty easily without issue...
Any suggestions?

What are the exact settings for your yahoo account?
I do not mean your email and password ... that should be on your side only.
I mean server, port, protocol, etc.
Did you configured it as premium (IMAP) or POP3 or Microsoft Exchange Active Synch?
Which security type have you selected (no, SSL, TLS, ...)?
You can specify all this settings in manual config.
I think that Yahoo only supports POP3 (pop.mail.yahoo.com) for incoming and SMTP (smtp.mail.yahoo.com) for outgoing mails.
But I am not sure as I do not have a Yahoo mail account.
If your Yahoo mail synchronization worked before, you have enabled SMTP already at Yahoo for your account.
But what happened that this does not work any more?
Have you changed a special setting, another account, firmware, installed or un-installed an app?
Sometimes it is helpful to wipe the cache in recovery mode (Volume UP + Home + Power).
Good luck !
Yes i updated my firmware frm 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 last week and actualy never used my yahoo after that so do know when it started today i tried to mail but it gave error sending failed not a secure conection so i deleted the acount and tried to setup up again now its just not seting up giving me error i mentioned before i tried all settings imap pop3 ticked accept all ssl certificate n saw bt no use it says unable to connect
P.s :gmail is working fine
I installed k-9 app and it easily setup my yahoo acount and i can mail through it too dont know what went wrong with the default application(social hub)
stil i would like to know what went wrong if anyone could help
I know this may sound stupid, but can you get into the Yahoo account via the web (on the phone or PC)? At least this will confirm you have the correct username/email address and password.
What server settings did you put in?
Brother i said i can access now via k9 but still not via the default social hub and yes i can acces through pc and mobile browser too
i tried all the possible settings in the social hub like pop3; imap ;ssl certificate on; accept all ssl certificate but no use so currently i m using k9
i think it has to do something with the certificate validation as the error says so but i dont know the solution to it
p.s : phone not rooted
Had the same error today. Read somewhere to change the Yahoo account's outgoing settings on the phone to SSL with accept all certificates, but that didn't help. So I changed security type to None, and all mail starting flowing out of the outbox again. Guess next time I get the error I'll change back to SSL...
I cant change the outgoing settings of server unless i login and i cant setup only the yahoo account so i dnt get option of manuly editing outgoing server
This is an SSL problem, android does not always include all chained root certificates.
You will still get an error like this:
Cannot safely connect to server.
(java.security.InvalidAlforithmParameterException: trusteAnchors.isEmpty())
Certificate chain[0]:
Subject: CN=(SSL common name here), OU=Domain Control Validated - RapidSSL(R), OU=See
etc...
This needs to be fixed in the build.
I get this problem running latest android 2.3.7, CM7 with SavagedZen Kernel
Would love a fix so I can use SSL again.
Juststarted receiving this error message TODAY. No changes or updates to anything on my phone...anybody know how to fix this.
I also starting getting this today (Cox email). Changing the SSL option to "SSL (Accept all certificates)" fixed it for me.
after sougote
On the email settings tap on outgoing settings and change security type to none.
That worked for my AOL account it might work for others. Worth a try anyway.
i'm facing the same problem...
solution is go to application->setting->Account and sync->add account..
Then yahoo account that I put in account&sync will auto display in mail..
So I didn't facing the giving the error(java.security.cert.certpathvalidatorExceptio n:trust anchor for certification path not found)...:fingers-crossed:

I've been using Att imap.mail.att.net for years for inbound mail (on my Android phone using 4.4.2 ) and ATT mail stopped receiving on July 25th for no obvious reason. I fussed with it a while and fortunately was able ot figure it out. If you follow my steps it should work:
Another contributor mentioned "can't safely connect to server" is actually an SSL error message. He's right... for reasons unknown they've changed something about SSL.
You must change your SSL setting from SSL to the alternative : SSL (accept any certificate) The phone informs you it is testing the connection after you change this. with just SSL it will fail, but once you've changed it you will notice the error message has changed.
Once you observe the test is passing, you have the original problem fixxed, but I still had to mop up the existing mess. Here's what I did:
1.) jotted down all the settings in the imap screen including my account name etc.
2.) Removed the account (with imap all messages are still on the server and will come back later)
3.) reboot (this may have been superfluous
4.) reinstalled the mail account using the jotted down settings ... and don't forget .. set to SSL (accept any certificate)
That should do the trick.... Take care

[Q] Android 2.2 Market and Gmail crash on start

Hi 2.2 tablet running wifi used to work perfectly with my gmail account. Gave it to my daughter and reset to clear my data. Since reset when either market or gmail opened they crash instantly and I dont know where the logs are so sorry no info there. Gmail on its browser works. Youtube works eg can sign in with daughters gmail account.
Have been fighting this issue for several hours with no joy - removing the sync account and adding it again. Under 2.2 there are no option for any account type other than exchange so the Exchange incoming settings are thusly:
\username
server: m.google.com
[x] use secure connection
also, checked or unchecked [x] Accept all XXL certificates
Background data is enabled.
Any light on this one please?
Thanks,
Alistair.
2.2 table
What type is the tablet? an update might be a good idea
