Hi, i Bought a new HTC Rader yesterday.
I am unable to set up the gmail account.
it says "Attention Required" and it details my account information are not correct.
< I check my id and password
< the password is not the same number of letters i typed.
< i correct them and save
< and see the same error again
I also tried to set up by others( POP/ IMAP)
but same thing.
Similar type of problem is also discussed in a google forum unable to find any answer.
Help?
Do you have 2-step verification setup in you Gmail account? If you do you have to follow the instructions on how to create a temporary password to allow WP7 access to the account.
I'm a bit late here, but when I have "Battery Save" mode, my student google apps account doesn't sync and asks me for a password. If you have that enabled, try to sync without it.
This could be the 2-step verification as mentioned above, or the issue that's been addressed in the latest Windows Phone update, check here:

I'm using Android 4.0.4, IceColdSandwich ROM, set up Google 2-step auth. I have generated an application-specific password and used it to set up account on the android phone.
First, I haven't found any ways to log off from the account. The only way offered is to completely remove account-related data including messages and so on.
Second, and most important, I revoked the application-specific password using web interface, and the phone still able to access my account mail and sync all the account belongings. I rebooted phone, clear data of different google applications with no luck - phone still had an access the account.
So I'm wondering why Google allows such unsecure scheme to live, and if there is a chance to revoke the access to google account in case of loosing the phone.
I have had the same problem after doing a full wipe update I revoked the old password then generated a new one so I could login. But after finding problems with the rom I restored my Nandroid backup and it never asked for a new password, it just worked which is a big security flaw.
My only guess it since I gave it the same name (ex Android Phone) maybe same names generate the same password. And has no randomness
I should do a test by generating a new password then revoking it and generating with the same name to see if they match since I have never checked if they are the same due to not knowing the old one past one time type in.
Edit they are not the same but I think I noticed what you have to revoke. At the top of the page you should see these I assume if you revoke them they don't come back until a proper password is re-entered.
Android Login Service — Full Account Access [ Revoke Access ]
sfg.google.com — Google Calendar, Google Calendar [ Revoke Access ]

No luck with searching.
I just got a Vodafone 858 (Huawei U8160) and tried to connect it to my Google account. Didn't work because every time I entered my password and hit the login button it'd just empty the password field. After a while I tried disabling the 2-step verification and suddenly everything worked.
Now I reactivated the 2-step verification and both my S III and U8160 report a login problem and require me to login again (which I assume is normal). The problem is that this puts me right where I started.
Happened with the Stock ROM and this ROM. Didn't try any other.
No clue why it fails.
Did you know you can create an app-specific password to bypass Google's 2-steps login for applications that don't support this authentication method?
To do so:
- Go to https://accounts.google.com;
- Go to Security;
- Click "Edit" next to Authorizing applications and sites;
- Follow the instructions in the section Application-specific passwords to generate an app-specific password. 2-steps authentication won't be needed for this specific application.
That worked. Thanks.
I knew about that password but I didn't really consider that an application.
I forget my content lock pin, and i tried so many time to reset it, im sure i have inputted the right google account and password, but it just keep saying the password do not match.
Does anyone have the same problem, and has anyone know how to ix this problem/bug?
this is my i did:
Setting -> Fingerprints & security -> Content Lock -> reset password(it will appear when the password entered is wrong) -> enter email and password -> sign in -> the message "password does not match" pops out
Thanks

I have the same issue
I'm not a tech guru, but I had this problem: I have an old phone with photos that I'm not longer using with data, but I had some locked photos in there and I could not access them when I tried to put in my current gmail password or that pin I remember while using wifi, since it's not using data. Even though I would go on my pc and type in my password/email and log in..it just wasn't registering for this phone.
What worked: 1. Wifi connection---installed all software updates
2. I turned off 2 step verification from my email through my PC
3. I then also turned ON the Allow less secure apps feature
4. After this I was successfully able to sign on to my email account from the email app on my phone.
Then I tried again to put in my current password and email from the locked pictures--- and it signed me on...and allowed me to change my password/pattern/pin and I could then access the pictures.
I hope this helps someone bc this took me over 12 hours to figure out.
Hi,
I've been searching everywhere but I cannot find the solution. I'm logged into my account and "find my device" is on. However, when I log into i.mi.com and go to "Find device" it says "No devices, Turn on "Find device" to be able to locate your devices." Furthermore on page settings in i.mi.com it says "Number of connected devices: 0"
I can sync my gallery etc. and I can also view the files. I've already factory reset my phone.
The reason why I want to switch it on and not use a third party app it because I want to unlock the bootloader which is not working either and I think this might be connected.
Could you guys help me?
Account re-registered
Okay, I've found the problem. The problem was my account. I had to completely delete my account (not just sign-out) and re-register again. Afterwards everything worked out just fine.
Hi all,
After updating to the last stable (12.0.3) it pop up a problem with my work account connected to Office 365. You can see the error on the first attachment. It fails to sync the account. When I go to the settings (2nd screenshot) and try to manually sync the account it simply dont work. What to do? Is there some workaround or something?
