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"

EVO 4g LTE running Fresh ROM 5.3.1
So Friday I was using my phone all day on Fresh 5.2.1 and didn't have any trouble at all...went to bed and woke up Saturday to a popup message in the corner that said sing in error for "blank"@"blank.com" (blanks were one of my email accounts fyi it didn't actually say blank) click here to sign in. When I click it says signing in------ the it says "Couldn't sign in" "A problem occurred while communicating with Google servers. Please try again later. That's it...no matter how many time I try it says the same thing. If I go home it will go away for 10 or so minutes then come back. All my data for that account (which is my main account on the phone) works fine...email...contacts...internet...everything. I tried everything from clearing the cache in the play store to disabling Google+ from my account through the computer to "uninstalling" all the extra Google apps, uninstalling the update to the play store killing the services that I didn't recognize even going to the account and unchecking all the boxes so it doesn't sync anything...it still pops up. I updated to the newest version of Fresh in hopes that would help...nothing. I wiped the phone on Sunday and restored to factory wiped Dalvik/Cache everything. Loaded the main account again and nothing...never saw the error again. After a few hours I loaded all the rest of my accounts and programs back to the phone and all was good. UNTIL today. My phone was in my pocket and I must of had the power button mashed down because I felt it buzz and when I looked it had restarted....and what do you know when it was back on THERE IT WAS AGAIN...the stupid "sign in error" popup AGAIN...someone please HELP!

Maybe it could be push malware. Have u downloaded any apps outside the market? Have u tried airpush detector from playstore?
Any app that has certain permissions
can see your email. What better way to get your password?

what is your email client? is it hotmail?
HTC EVO LTE
I have not but will try airpush...and my email client is my website (@blahblahblah.com) not really blah blah blah it is through godaddy and is handled through google apps...so once i set up all my dns settings with google they handle the mail portion for me. I have had it set up this way without change for over a year with no problems and I still get all my emails to my pone
I just tried airpush detector...it didn't find anything
It could be something that requires 2 step authentication, you would need to finish the setup for that error to go away. Just a stray thought
I just changed my password...and it still pops up with the same error but recognizes that I changed the password and prompts me to actually enter it. but I still get the same failed to communicate with google servers message. I even deleted the whole account from the phone and I still get the popup error
Hmm...I've had this issue with stock sense but I don't remember how I fixed it, I think I eventually did a factory reset
Did u do one of the YouTube streaming mods where u changed http settings or anything?
Try cleaning cache and dalvik or maybe even google caches and hotmail? I'm at a loss here.
No I didn't do any youtube mods or anything...I have cleared all the cache from any google app I have including the play store...I will try and just clear the main cache and dalvik...I want to say I have done that also but can't remember. Also...now that the account is removed from my phone it still pops up with the error...but now I get a menu button...when I click it it lets me login from browser...it takes me to what looks like a gmail login screen with my email already filled out and a password box to type in. I put my password in...it flashes to a black screen with the signing in progress bar going across the top...then disappears. All looks good at this point...BUT sure enough about 5 minutes later...sign in error popup again.
On a side note...I know it isn't a problem with dns settings or the host because with google apps you get up to 10 email addresses from my 1 domain that I own. My wife has her own set up the same way on the same phone running the same ROM/RADIO and virtually the same programs...Hers runs fine
Clearing the cache and Dalvik didn't solve the problem...I have now added the account back to the phone...we will see
Adding the account back didn't fix the issue either...the first time it happened last Saturday I did a factory reset...and that indeed did fix the problem...however only for 2 days...then it came back...I really want to get this fixed as opposed to flashing again...its not really critical ad all my data works and emails work but it is supper annoying

Do u have the gmail app or u have it on stock mail app? Maybe try switching it out? Shutdown or freeze the one thats giving u problems.
When u go to the gmail site is it legit? U counter check it through DNS to make sure it isn't a phishing scheme?
Im using the gmail app...I get all my mail fine...I have unchecked the account so it doesn't sync anything and it still pops up...I have deleted the account off the phone and it still pops up. It's almost like the account is doubled up or something on my phone. It's almost like one is complete and one is just partially installed and stuck in the setup process. Now when I go to my internet browser...I logged in and it says location unavailable...when I click restaurants...there is an option to update precise location...I click it and it turns grey but never actually updates the location

I was getting it too. It was Wallet.
I would try to log in with the wallet app and it would tell me my password is bad. I hit the menu button and chose "login via web" or something like that. Browser popped up, I entered my username and password and it went away.
Hi guys,
I just noticed recently that my DNA is giving me this error under accounts and sync. It seems like this may be a wide spread issue for all types of Android phones, but I was wondering if anyone else was seeing this. The strange this is that it looks like everything is synced properly, and even when I drill down into the actual items that are syncing, there are no errors. I'm not sure if it is the rom that I am on (UKB), but I would really like to clear it up if possible. I have tried deleting the data in Apps for the various items listed, but this does not seem to help. I even booted into recovery and cleared the cache, to no avail.
Thanks guys,
Steve
Alright, I just did a full wipe, installed UKB 1.3 with Cubed stock kernel, and I am still getting that sync error. Is anyone else seeing this?
I have had this issue on CODIS, UKB and the battery plus ROM
It syncs everything fine, but it does show a red sync icon and say its experiencing problems. I've just learned to deal with it as everything still works fine.
--removing and re-adding my google account does nothing
--unchecking each option (calendar, contacts, gmail etc.) one by one to see if a particular causes the problem,...does nothing to help
Just wanted to letyou know you are not the only one with the issue.
I'm having the issue where the gmail app syncs fine but if I read/delete emails and go back to my computer, all the changes I did on my phone didn't sync with my computer browser. Anyone know how to fix that?

I had that issue. Uninstalling and reinstalling gmail app from the market fixed it for me.

Ah, thanks for the replies guys. At least I'm not the only one . At least it's not in your face screaming at you, so I can learn to ignore it.
I'm having the sync issues myself, and I'm even on full stock ROM. Just wanted to let you know. My account is on two-step authentication - are other people also using two-step? Common denominator?

I believe that is the problem. I had an error in Google Internet sync. I fixed it by going to Google dashboard on my computer and clicking "Websites authorized to access the account." Go down to Application Specific Passwords.
Install the Google Authenticator on the DNA. Then register it by generating a new application specific 12 digit password. The Authenticator app will then generate the six digit codes you'll need when asked to be able to sync your bookmarks in the browser or sign in the Google search homepage. Anyway it worked for me.
For me it was Facebook calendar that couldn't sync. I unchecked it and the error went away. It looks like it can be any part of any of your accounts that will trigger that message. If you go into each one, it will show which one is having the problem.

Just remove your Google account and sign in again I hope it helps

i usually have to let google services update after flashing and then re-installing the apps from the store.
Did you get the issue resolved? I'm having the same issues on my toroplus, after updating to official 4.3, have tried reflashing back to 4.2, factory reset... but no joy here.
have also tried removing and re-adding my google account
possible cause and fix
I had a hunch that it was something to do with my account security settings
Go to your Google account on the web, click on Security on the left menu, and look at the "Connected applications and sites" section (click on "review permissions")
I had an epic number of entries in there - so I started revoking access for a lot of duplicates, including about a dozen entries for Android Login Service (the downside of repeatedly rooting & ROMing, i guess).
1 reboot of my phone later, was asked to re-enter my password, and...
problems gone bye-bye! everything is syncing again.
I hope this helps others.
After hours of no sleep Thank you dannydpx
Best thread ever
I've been freaking out about this for days ... thank you for the awesome tip. Removed 9 account instances and I'm back in business!
previously documented - http://www.atmasphere.net/archives/2013/11/11/in-need-of-some-serious-google-account-help
thanks, this worked great. i wasn't getting hangout convos or gmail. all sorted now. at least i know my fiance isn't ignoring me! :laugh:
Had a problem with goggle now on my Galaxy tab. Would crash out on starting. So I uninstalled google now, then reinstalled WITHOUT the latest google now update All worked fine! Applied the latest update, again crashing out.
So uninstalled and re-installed again as above, but without the latest update, all working !
had several duplicated entries from my Galaxy S3, and i have removed them all. Also i removed the one from my Nexus 5 and Nexus 7 2013.
Nothing seems to correct the issue with Google Now. Everything else works just fine..
i fixed all accounts by removing them form the permissions in the security area. the only app that does not want to connect at all is Google hangouts. does anyone have any other idea?
Please?! thanks in advance

uninstall the apk you have. and install this one http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/1...e-newer-version-should-fix-broken-video-chat/
thats how i fixed it. after installing this one i havent had anymore problems
I just removed my N5 from my permissions and then rebooted the phone. Had to log back into my account and my Google Now Search started working again.
i tried all these but with no luck.
can't connect to NOW from my usual account since this morning, while my other accounts work...
Hello everybody,
I am having some problems with hangouts on my Nexus 5 and also on google plus website so not sure what the problem is but I get an error when I am trying to access the app wich say it "couldn't connect to the server" and I tried to factory reset the phone removing and re-adding the account restarting the phone, I also deactivated both hangouts and google play services and tried to reinstall the apps but nothing seems to work.
The phone is not rooted and everything is standard as the Nexus 5 arrived.
Now what I did before this error appeared is that I added gmail to my google account, before I used just an email from another host so not sure if this has something to do with it?
I also created a new google account and hangouts worked with that account but still not with my real google account.
Anybody that have any solutions to my problem?
So I'm having issues with google now and reminders.
Be it manually entering or by voice, it shows the reminder saving, but then never appear in my upcoming reminders list.
And obviously, no reminder is played when the time or location comes.
I'm running stock note 2 rooted.
I tried updating to the 4.4 google search along with the launcher, but that didnt fix the issue. So I revert back.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Well, I decided to upgrade (complete wipe) and using a new rom.
Reminders still do not work.
They do work in google Keep ... which is only a work around. However, I found out something interesting.
#1 - I'm not the only one having this problem. And it seems to be random, across multiple devices, including iOS.
#2 - I tried logging into google now with my other google account and it worked!
So something is up between the google account and Now's sync... I can only assume.
Does anyone know of a setting withing gmail or your google account that can cause problems? I tried comparing my two accounts, but couldnt figure it out
Sounds like a Google issue for sure. I'd report it to them.
Experiencing the same problem

I am having PRECISELY the same issue. It started at random, but now my Google account will not display notifications for reminders. One day they were all working perfectly. The next day, they all just stopped cold turkey.
I used my backup Gmail account, and BAM they worked! Just for that account however. After I switched back to my primary Gmail account, they still would not work. I tried so many roms and methods, but I can only conclude that it must be a google account problem. I have been all over Google Dashboard and through every single setting.
I am running the Galaxy Note 3 on T-mobile (hltetmo) with JediElite 4.4.2. Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thank guys!
UPDATE:
After starting to look again (and actually coming across my own question on google lol) I got it working!
It must have been an update that changed or even added the option.
Just for the hell of it, i was going through the "customize" options and found "Continue to get reminders"
IT was set to "no"
As soon as it turned to yes, all of my test reminders showed up.
recap:
open Google Now > select the "magic wand" on the bottom right > Select Everything Else > set "Continue to get reminders" to yes
