This has been bugging me for the past days and I can't wrap my head around it.
OS: Android Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0, stock, not rooted.
Phone: : LG L5
There have been no updates done to the phone or its applications, nor has there been any chagnes made to the login/password prior to this issue first appearing. 2-step verification hasn't been enabled.
After running the Talk app it will, seems to log in (it doesn't throw any errors), change the screens to the one where the contact list is, and keep loading it indefinitely. The status can't be changed, as it is loading. At the same time, google chat works on a laptop through an unofficial client, works as part of gmail too. It seems to have the same issues with another android google talk client (Xabber - loads indifinetely, but doesn't report bad login/password). Both laptop and phone are connected to the same wifi network.
What has been done thus far with no success:
1. Cleaning the cache/data of the Talk app
2. Cleaning the cache of the Market app
3. Restarting the phone with battery removal
4. Stopping the Talk service and restarting it
5. Logging out of Talk on the laptop
What is the most worrying is the fact that from this phone I cannot log into another gtalk account through any other client.
At the same time, I can use another phone and client to succesfully log into LGs 'native' google account (the one that is working on the laptop, but gives trouble through android).

As of about a week ago the browser sync on my device has been failing. I am running ICS via the latest CM9 nightly on my Samsung Galaxy S II (i9100T).
Chrome Beta bookmarks sync fine, it's only the builtin browser that is failing to sync. I would use Chrome Beta if I could but it's so damn crash-happy that it's unusable (I assume it's a CM compatibility problem that isn't resolved yet).
Anyway... Here is the relevant log entries from a failed browser sync attempt:
I/BookmarksSync( 5112): Sync failed due to soft error: Reader: Protocol (soft) error: Truncating server changelist after 260 items, as the changelist contains more than one entry with a given remote id: Z:ADqtAZy+M2N65xx6fxN82TxDitLVtIkXCgmtSFp8W2tkH0CkJn0/Jcg8vDEWpzXibMIJcCZ0FdLOu2YpKahtQz5TqasLlCiDZDhnESZ7grZisodhrY++D+I=
D/SyncManager( 1840): failed sync operation [email protected] (com.google), com.android.browser, PERIODIC, earliestRunTime 698024, SyncResult: stats [ numIoExceptions: 1 numEntries: 260]
Basically it's just that over and over again. I've tried clearing the data in the browser app settings then resyncing, and I have also confirmed that on my PC my settings are set to encrypt passwords only (as a google search revealed some people had issues when encrypting everything).
So, I'm out of ideas. Does anyone know how to fix this? Help would be much appreciated as I'm a heavy user of my device and being unable to access my bookmarks is quite frustrating.
Thanks in advance.
Sorry I can't help you but I am getting the same error myself. Hopefully someone can help us out. My browser hasn't had a successful sync since the 12th, 6 days ago...
And like you, Chrome works just fine. I'm on a transformer prime fwiw.
Having the same issue on Galaxy Nexus running AOKP M4. For me it seemed to start around the same time that I changed one of my Chrome browsers to the beta channel, but I didn't notice it for a few days. Once I did notice it, I immediately removed the beta channel version and replaced it with a stable, then deleted all my chrome sync info from the Google dashboard, re-synced from a different copy of Chrome (which was always the stable version), then erased browser app data on my phone and re-tried the sync. Still fails.
My best guess is that the beta version of Chrome did something to the data that is unsupported by the ICS sync service. By the time I caught it, that "something" had been synced out to my other browsers, meaning my data is now permanently "corrupt" or something. Which is awesome and, short of starting from scratch, probably unfixable. However, the Android version of Chrome still seems to sync fine, so this is mostly just really, really annoying, and I can hold out hope for an official fix. In the meantime, I've disabled the browser sync because it seems to use a lot of battery power when it fails (that's actually how I noticed... looking into strangely high battery draw).
But has anyone else who has seen this error done anything similar?
Well, I managed to fix my problem. The issue was that somewhere in all of my Chrome syncs I managed to create a bunch of duplicate bookmarks. Specifically, I reorganized my bookmarks at some point into folders, and somehow they all reappeared in their original locations in addition to the new location. After re-removing all of the old links, deleting everything from the dashboard, re-syncing, and clearing my Android browser data, sync is working fine.
You can find the duplicate items by taking the id in the logcat message and putting it in the search box available in desktop Chrome under about:sync. Takes awhile to fix that way though, because the sync will only give you one id per failure. I was lucky that most of my dups were easy to find.
Hey,
I have a Huawei Honor 2 [U9508B 2GB RAM model] running EMUI B628.
I seem to be getting very strange syncing errors since my update. ALL google apps except for Play Store do not want to sync with Google, except on some very strange and rare occasions. I need to be able to access Gmail on my smartphone. It's one of my most important apps, but Gmail cannot sync properly, often staying at the Waiting for Sync screen for weeks on end.
I have tried reflashing my phone, but that was only a temporary remedy. The problem continued a mere 2 days after reflash.
Because I cleared the Google Framework Services data, YouTube is no longer connected to my account, so when I tap sign in, "There is a problem with your network" pops up a mere millisecond later.
Stuff I have tried:
1. Disable and re-enable auto sync a million times
2. Tap sync now a billion times
3. Remove account and re-add it. (I have only tried this once, but when I did, I couldn't sign in. it just said "couldn't sign in - couldn't establish a reliable connection to the server")
4. Clear the data of anything google
5. Clear cache and dalvik-cache in recovery
Is there anything else I could try? I've had this phone for just two months. I'd hate to go out and buy another phone.
Thanks!
Hi (i know that i posted this in general android, but some may not read that)
I just got a new phone (Xperia Z Ultra (yay!)), but whenever i try to login to my google account, the following happen.
The login works.
Hangouts fail with the following: "Couldnt sign in possible because theres a problem with google account permissions"
Chrome fail with: "Unable to sign in"
Calendar, music widget and information about people doesn't sync.
Google Now fails: "Network error"
Google+ fails: Could not connect to server
Google Play Games just close when opening.
and i keep having a yellow triangle in my notification shade: "Login error for --email--"
I have tried both stock, CM and PA.
I would be really really grateful if someone could come up with a fix!
Thanks
If it doesn't work on Stock, CM and PA, there's clearly something going on with your account. Did you change some account settings that you can't remember? Did you change your password after you logged in on your Ultra?
I didn't change the password.
And i'm pretty sure no google settings where changed.
I worked fine when i set the device up for the first time yesterday.
But yesterday evening i flashed PA and logged in, and nothing has been working since.
I have already tried removing my 2 factor authenticator, resetting the device and then logging in again. Also did the same just changing my password instead.
Also on PA and CM i tried a couple of different google apps
and i tried logging in on both wifi and 4G
Try this.
Still has the sync error :-S
To make things even worse, i just tried logging in with my second google account, and everything sync and works just fine
Huh.. It's pretty clear that you're not the first one to have this problem (according to Google search), but I have no idea what's going on. It could be a fluke on Google's servers, so wait until tomorrow or later today and try again.

Make sure your system time and DATE are correct. That should fix it.

Thanks for all the help guys, iv'e contacted google and made a case.
Because everything except gmail has stopped working for me.
I'm unable to sign into chrome on my computer, Google Drive stopped syncing, i can't sign into Feedly (uses google authentication) and so on...
So wish me luck!
EDIT: YES! i just fixed everything, i just revoked every single thing under "Connected Sites, Apps, and Services"
Despite what my first points might suggest, this does not seem to just be an issue with the Exchange admin disabling Smart Lock.
First the issue: When I add my work e-mail, it completely disables Smart Lock and all the underlying features with the note "Disabled by administrator".
Of course, this sounds like they have disabled this server side.
The thing is though, that this worked problem free up until recently, when I had to reset my phone and then add my account again.
I checked with the admins and they claimed nothing have been changed on the server.
It also did not affect anyone else using Android phones.
Then I tried removing and re-adding the account on a colleague's phone and now he got the same issue.
Turns out that this only happens with the newest Gmail app. (5.2).
If I uninstall updates and downgrade Gmail to 5.0 or 5.1 ish and then add the Exchange account, I can activate Smart Lock without problems.
It keeps working problem free, even after upgrading the Gmail app.
In short, my testing suggests that this only an issue if you add the Exchange account after upgrading the Gmail app to 5.2.
This workaround is serviceable for now, but it won't work anymore after Android M arrives, as then the system app version will start at 5.2 and can't be downgraded (I tried through adb install, but then everything just started crashing).
Because of this, I thought it might be time to find the actual cause here.
Any tips and suggestions?
Any helpful info I could provide?
Am I even close to being correct in my assumptions of fault?
Since I'm on M preview too, I also hope for a solution....
ETA: Workaround: take the SD card and SIM out during setup.
Hi all, my spouse received their Pro1X today (stock ROM). The build quality seems excellent, and they're super pumped about the keyboard and excited to make it their primary device. However, they immediately ran into an issue: they can't log into their Google account, either during first-boot or afterwards. Wi-Fi connects and we can load web sites in Chrome, but the Google login flow gives them the old "there was a problem communicating with google's servers" error.
We tried a few different ways of adding the account, did a factory reset, and even Google's "DisplayUnlockCaptcha" tool. Any thoughts on what might be going on? We can log into the account in a browser tab, but any attempt to add the account to the phone fails. We tried checking for Android system updates and got "updates are temporarily unavailable please try again later".
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
