Newbie here, just flashed with Neodium ROM and can't connect to gmail.

[sugaryling]

phone is unlocked, flashed it with Nov 26 Neodium ROM,

Gmail settings are:
email address: myemail@gmail.com
incoming mail server: imap.gmail.com
account type: imap4 (grayed out so I can't change it)
outgoing: smtp.gmail.com
Outgoing mail svr requires authentication: yes
use same name and pw for sending email: yes
require SSL for incoming email: yes
Require SSL for outgoing: yes
Network connection: INternet


It worked for a few seconds. Now everytime I hit send and receive, it will ask me to enter the correct pw and user name.

I followed the instructions from gmail as well. Seems like I did everything right.

Any clue as to what I should try?

Did that 3 times. AND resetting it after each time I delete the gmail account. I just got it to send and receive emails. I didn't change anything. I'm expecting it to pop up with the same screen asking me for my user name and pw any minute.

Oh! One more thing. I didn't know Neodium came with google maps. So I went ahead and downloaded it and installed it. When I went to add it to the quick links, I saw 2 Google maps icons. I went to remove programs and removed google maps. Now the original one that came with Neodium doesn't work. How do I get it back?

reinstall google maps and just put it on device instead of your card.. it should prompt you that it already exists now, overwrite and continue.... should work after that

Tried that many times too. I did install it on the device. It doesn't prompt me that it already exist. Oh well, I can live with having 2 google map icons in the programs list. No big deal.

Back to the gmail problem. I realized what the problem is. The "save password" box isn't holding the check mark. I think that's why it keeps prompting me to enter user name and PW every time I hit send/receive. I recheck it, but it doesn't hold. Any ideas?

for the google maps problem u may need to hard reset because reinstalling and deleting shortcuts and files related to the extra copy probly wont fix it. for the gmail situation i just use activesync or exchange to set that up open activesync and hit menu and then add server source, on the next screen enter youremail@gmail.com and uncheck the box where it says automatically detect settings, hit next and in server address enter m.google.com then it next and ull be prompted to enter ur username and password, once again youremail@gmail.com and then hit next select what u want to sync and then ur done. (dont check tasks or text messages as that does not yet work)

I'll try that once I get back to my home PC. Thanks!

u dont need to be on the computer to do it. u do it from the activesync on ur tp2 it should be in start>tools or in the sync data tab on sense.

Just tried this too and when the phone tries to log on to retrieve mail it brings me to the screen where it shows my user name, password (now it's blank and still missing the check mark in the "save pw box"), domain, and server. I enter the pw again and check the save pw box...again. The same thing happens. Am I suppose to enter something in Domain? I don't think it lets me.

domain is not required if u put @gmail.com in the user name field. sounds to me like you need to do a hard reset. lo ud sabe como hacer verdad?
