Account verification and "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly" errors

Hi everyone,

I'm having two MAJOR issues with my phone, a one-year-old Samsung Galaxy S2:
  • In the notification bar, I get an error saying "Sign-in error for [myemail]@gmail.com. Clicking on this prompts me with the following: Google sign-in. You entered the wrong password or your account has changed. Please re-enter your password. Whenever I enter my correct password, my phone tells me it's wrong.
  • The contacts, gmails and calendar are NOT synchronising between my phone and my google account. When I go into the sync settings, there is a red exclamation mark on the sync icon for the Calendar, Contacts and Gmails (and Picasa web albums, but I never use those). I have followed advice to clear the contact data, which didn't work (and now left me with a contactless phone :rolleyes: ). I did the same with the calendar data, which also didn't work.

I believe the second error is a result of the first, but I'm not sure. I just want my phone to be fully functional again.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

God bless,
Andy.
 
I am also having the ( sync is currently experiencing problems,be back shortly) problem.
i deleted my phone contacts and wanted to sync back up with gmail, and now it just gives me that error.
so phone has 0 contacts on it right now.
any ideas?
I can get on gmail via the web with no problems.
 
1. Did you recently have 2-step verification turned on? If so, you'll need to generate one of those long passwords to sign in to your account. If you need help with that, let me know.

2. Can't help you with this one because I have the same problem. I hope there is a fix.
 
What is weird is my Gmail app worked up until last night and now not sending emails with attachments. I've confirmed that I can add the google account to the native email application that came with my phone and was able to send mail with attachment. I also confirmed that I can send email WITHOUT attachment using Gmail app. So, the issue is sending email with attachments

Still researching. Update you when I find something...

Strange. My gmail app seems to be working fine - attachments included.
