Just opened my viewsonic Gtablet from Tigerdirect. Ran the OTA update and now running 3588, otherwise straight out of the box.
I am unable to log into any account using an app (mail, contacts, skype, tdameritrade, twitter apps). I am able to log in fine when I visit the website and login through the web.
Is there someplace I have to grant apps permissions to use the internet? Why can't I log in?
Thanks.
Just checking if anyone else had this problem. If not other responses, I'll let this thread die. Thanks for reading.

No. There is no special place to grant permissions to use the internet. Do you get any kind of error message? Force Close? Some indication of symptoms might help us diagnose the problem.
Get an app called Superuser. You will need to root the tab, as well. I think there's something like "oneclickroot" out there.
Honestly, grab a custom ROM, they all come with this standard.
Rooting shouldn't be necessary to make any of those apps work so I doubt that will help him.
Google login fails, 2 step verification is culprit
This may not solve your problem, but it knocked me for a loop for a whole evening with my new motorola defy this week.
You get a new android device, and everything looks so nice, but then you try to log in to your google account. Repeatedly. You keep getting an error that says the username or password are wrong, even though you can log in on your pc. OBVIOUSLY the password is fine, but it wont work on your new android device.
Well, if you turned on 2-part authentication then you have a problem. (If you have never heard of 2-part authentication then move on, you would have to have done this on purpose and it is way to painful to forget having done it.)
Android doesnt support 2-part authentication. So you have to generate a special password for your android device.
Start by logging in to gmail, or whatever google service you wish. Go to your account settings (the little gear-looking thing in the upper right.) Under Personal Settings, Security you'll see an entry called "Authorizing applications & sites". Go here and make an entry for your device, and it will generate a special password for that specific google application that doesnt happen to support 2-part authentication. Enter your super-secret password.
Suddenly the world is golden.
Probably not what the OPs problem was, but I wanted to put it SOMEWHERE.
grrrr....
Hi there!
I'm a newbie to this android, flashing Rom's world and I just recently flashed a great JB Rom but I've just encountered two small issues, and I was hoping that you guys could give me a hand solving them. The problem is that when I stabilsh a WIFI connection, the google maps/location services in my device dont work properly, the pin drops in a place that is not accurate at all, it actually places me in a different country (google maps), same happens w/ the weather shown in google now, and Facebook. But this does not happens when I'm on mobile services.
Last but not least is whem I'm trying to set up one particular Email account (@me.com) I get an error message saying "Unable to connect to email sever to verify your account information. No response from server" and I made sure that my password was correct. Which doesn't happen with other Roms.
I've been reading for quite some time now and I found no answer to this particular situation or any similar, so sorry in advance if it already has been posted or asked, but honestly I couldnt find it.
thanks in advance for any type of help.
Greetings from the Skyrocket forum. I'm looking for a little help for a friend who has a problem receiving her Comcast.net email on her phone through the native app. When she puts in her mail info, she gets this response "Can't safely connect to Comcast servers."
I have searched this forum by a variety of search terms including "email", "comcast email", "comcast", etc. I'm coming up empty handed. A google search seems to show that there's been quite a bit of questions asked about this but as for the specific answer, if there is one, I can't find it.
Has anyone with Comcast.net email and an S3 found that they cannot include that account, or is there or has a workaround been found, preferably aside from using another email client.
Thanks for your time and hopefully, answers!
"To complete this voice action, Google needs to use your device contacts"
...
So Android voice search has started showing me this (I always say "no"); before, it used to just look up a contact in my contacts list. The "Learn more" link says they have to "send your contacts to Google"...
Is this a new functionality? i.e. was it that before, Google would use the contacts locally to determine a voice match, but now they actually send the whole contact record to their servers?
Or is it doing what it always did, except now they're just telling us about it?
Anyone know?

Not sure if anyone else has ever thought about this but i have worked up a way to update my facebook status directly from google now on my g watch using tasker and the google search api. So now i just have to say "ok google...facebook post...(anything i say after that gets posted as my status). Have been thinking about doing this for a while and finally figured it all out last night. What i used to do this was tasker/ google search api/ and autovoice. If anyone wants to know the full process i can try to explain it in a post, not sure how many people would be interested in something like that.
Interested!
Step 1. Obtain secret facebook email address http://email.about.com/od/Facebook-...Your-Secret-Facebook-Upload-Email-Address.htm
2. Make sure you have Google search api version 1.4 installed. You can get it here https://www.dropbox.com/s/cev1js6f8ddscsm/GoogleSearchAPI.apk?dl=0 Also install sendsilentmail plugin for tasker and autovoice.
3. Import profile (https://www.dropbox.com/s/7dt4u7uq1jpv8r9/Facebook_Post.prf.xml?dl=0) and go into the sendsilentmail plugin in the profile and input your own email for sender address and for "to address" put in secret facebook email address obtained in step 1.
Than save and back out of profile reboot phone. Now just say "ok google...Facebook post ..(say what you want the post to say quickly but clearly) and voila post made to facebook using Google now 
Remember you must be rooted and have xposed framework installed to have this work. If you run into any issues I'll try my best to help.
Will work on seeing if it's possible without root access.
