Can't add google account in JB ROMs - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was trying to flash multiple JB ROMs including AOKP and ParanoidAndroid with latest GAPPS 20121212 but i don't have luck adding google accounts
Well, i'm entering email and password hit the button, agree with things, then bang, google account manager stops working and I'm having a google account with just calendar setting to sync that never syncs as it is "having some problems".
I did that like 10 times already without luck
Can you give me some advice or helping hand?

clear cache, dalvik cache, user data (factory reset), redownload your rom files. should work..

Just did everything you suggested and nothing has changed, the same problem and error
Any other ideas?

Which password are you using? Did you generate the password within Gmail Web interface? Try to use this rather than regular password.

Cannot sync Hotmail calendar - CM9

I am running CM9 on my Touchpad and I am using the Hotmail app.
I can sync my contacts OK but I cannot sync my Hotmail calendar.
I can do this on my Android 2.3 phone.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I use the same app and have no issues... have you tried wiping the app's cache and data then uninstalling and reinstalling
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Yes I have tried several times to that.
When I go to the stock calendar, the only account I see is gmail .
And if I add a new account, I get message that the account is already there.
Any other ideas?

Have you uninstalled or frozen the email app?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I have cleared data, uninstalled app, rebooted and then reinstalled.
Sorry but I don't know what frozen is.

I'm referring to the stock "Email" app that comes with Android. Or have you thought of using it instead of the Hotmail app?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I believe this is a bug that started with Android v 4.0.x
For instance, my work email is a live365 account and my phone running CM9 will not my get emails, it's loading forever with default email app...
I have not tried the default email app.
The weird thing is that the email pat, even contact syncing works. It's just the calendar syncing.
I will post some screenshots of my TP when I get home.

With stock app, are you able to sync Hotmail calendars as well as contacts?
The calendar syncing is my issue, not the contacts.

I got sick of the Hotmail app and moved to the stock one and have ever since not been able to sync the Calendar. I'm not really comfortable with Hotmail calendar --> Google calendar --> Phone calendar. As mentioned by an other member earlier, this could've something to do with Android 4.0.x., especially since it was working with 2.3.6 for me. Have attached a few screen shots to show what I mean.
I guess this is a Hotmail (Microsoft) issue with Android 4.0.x
This suck becuase I have all my dates in Hotmail calendar.
I guess should move to Google calendar
Simple change in settings solved the problem for me.
1. Set Sync frequency to Automatic - Push instead of Never.
2. Turn on Auto sync.
3. Wait for it to sync.
Live calendar will then appear in android calendar.

No the issue is your setup because I have 8 Android devices and all of them sync both my Gmail and Hotmail accounts (mail, contacts, calendars and tasks) without a hiccup

Whats wrong with my setup? I have un-installed the app, cleared cache, removed all accounts. I have used stock email and calendar app as well. What else could i try.
I really appreciate your help by the way.

Of course Ive taken for granted that you have double checked all your sync options in the apps you are trying to use and set them to push correct?
Also taking for granted that you have toggled all those settings on and off and rebooted in between toggles correct?
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
I have tried everything you have suggested, but I do not get the calendar sync option. Please look at these screenshots.
Hi there
I have an acer iconia a500 (ICS)and I have the same problem. Well, everything was working fine but suddenly my calender and contacts didn't sync.I figured out that microsoft wants us to use the dedicate app from the market. You can still use the stock email app for email only. What you can do is use the microsoft app only to sync calendar and contacts.

Google Talk refuses to login

I'm not sure what the issue is, but I'm running the Rejuvenated ROM. Fresh install. Restored all apps from Titanium Backup (all backups were from previous Rejuvenated setup - same version and everything). Whenever I open up Talk, it shows all accounts signed out. And when I click on an account, it takes me to the buddy list, but only shows my email address and doesn't sign in. No errors. All other apps work that are tied to my gmail account - the market, email, etc.
I even tried doing a restore from Titanium to a clean install, while skipping everything that has to do with accounts. Still nothing.
Any ideas on how to get this working properly?

I apparently can't post in the development forum, but you mentioned that you were having issues with google talk and gmail. I have had the same issue when flashing roms and then using titanium backup to restore my stuff. What fixed it for me is deleting the google account off the phone and deleting the data out of the google services framework app. Let me know if that works for you.

Had this issue in the past. I stay away from backing up the google apps since during install they ask for permissions.
Agreed, never backup gapps because that will come with issues if its own.
Try going in to recovery and fixing permissions, see if that helps.

"Unfortunately, Email has stopped"

I installed Jelly Beans Build 5 ROM after having used Build 2,3 and 4......now I can't get the Email to stop crashing....its really is slowing everything on my phone down when it reboots, etc....is there a way I can remove the Stock Email app? re-install it? (its not the Gmail, its the app called Email for using stuff like Hotmail)....
I have wiped Dalvik Cache and Fixed Permissions
You flashed dirty right? Clean flashed here and all three of my email accounts are fine. You should do a clean install before reporting bugs.

As an added note I would also do the same thing to Exchange Services. I did it to JUST the Email and still had issues. Then I did both and haven't had issues since.
Do you have swiftkey? My email would crash like that if I let swiftkey learn my words from emails.

I did not.
If you choose AOSP email over TW and you had TW before, it'll crash until you wipe data. Same thing with TW over AOSP.
I have Note 3 Verizon JB5 and I clean flashed (broke stock XD)
Still have this issue and clearing data didn't do anything.
I don't have ASOP, I use TouchWiz.
I'm having the same issue on my GS4.
Clearing app data and cache on both email and exchange services does not change anything. Still crashes, and I cant remove the exchange service from the accounts list.
I'm on stock rooted 4.2.2.
EDIT - issue solved. I had a corrupted external SD card.
Formatted, error checked and problems all solved.

I had the issue in my Note 3. When I configured my Exchange email and I received an email I attend to open from the notification or icon always occurred an "Email has closed" and I had to open again the email from the icon.
Reading the post about disabled/removed Magazine App I remenbered that I disabled this app so I had to enable it... now the issue has gone and I can open without any problem the emails.
Thank you :good:

[Q] Contact Sync and Google Now

I have two different gmail accounts. One of them (not my main one) syncs contacts fine by the main account doesn't sync them at all. I keep getting an error, and have had the error since I bought the phone. Anyone know whats up?
Also, I can add any team I want to google now except the Lakers. Everytime I add them, they show up in the list of teams, then I close the page, come back to it, and the team is gone. Anyone know why?
Thanks!
Couldn't say I've experienced this. As far as the Google account that won't sync, have you changed the password and forget to update it on ur phone?
As far as Google now, try clearing cache and date. Start from scratch and see if that helps. Sorry I don't have any solution that would just solve ur problems. Best thing till someone comes out with a sure solution is trouble shoot. Let us know what happens!

Also, do u use facebook and sync ur contacts? I've heard that can be causing issues. I recommend first removing facebook, the export ur contacts to external storage, going into it apps and clearing data under contact storage then importing all ur contacts. I highly recommend removing facebook before anything else. If its not facebook but u have other applications that sync contacts, uncheck contact sync and proceed with clearing contact storage, then import contacts and resync. Try that out and let us know

Ok. Then skip those steps about other apps that sync and try the export and clearing data.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
I'm afraid of doing this because I have contacts in my phone that are new that aren't synced yet. Will this get rid of them?
That's why u export ur contacts first
Go into ur contact list and tap menu. Then export, when it asks u where, send it to sd card/external memory. Unsync ur Google accounts from contacts so it doesn't effect it and then clear it. You'll have a back up on ur other Google account and have a vcf file in ur device storage

i just did that and its still not syncing the contacts. Similarly, its not syncing the internet.
