gmail username/password re-confirmation

chetlet · #1 (**permalink**) 01-27-2009, 04:33 PM

Touch Pro keeps asking me to re-confirm my gmail username/password. I re-type, it seems to work as i can send and receive to myself, but a couple of hours later (based on send/receive schedule) the screen is asking to reconfirm again. This is my second TP, first one did not do this with same email account. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

I had the same problem, but it had a hardware issue as well so returned it and got a new one. The new one worked fine so I would consider getting the rom and redoing it.

I have the same problem, but far less frequently.. mine only asks about once a week, so I just click ok and forget it...

I think when it first started happening, it was as bad as your problem, so I deleted the account and recreated it, and that solved the problem for a couple months..

I believe it to be a Gmail issue, one of the reasons I now forward GMail to Everyone.net. Have you looked at another email application such as FlexMail? Fewer issues all around.

I had this same exact thing happen to me the other day. It happened 4-5 times in a row. I was getting really annoyed. It's not really doing it as often anymore. Maybe once every 4-5 days.

It must be something with gmail.

Try doing this: http://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha

It took me forever to figure this out, but resetting this makes this problem go away.

What? That is a ridiculous assertion.

If you delete it and set it up again it should work fine. Correct, after awhile the settings seem to get off for some weird reason.
