Hi, I cant sign in to my Gmail acct on my(android) phone app but I can on laptop or on phone using web. Any ideas anyone pls?
Thanks

(it says acct action req'd and that I need to sign in again...but when I do nothing happens and it just shows emails up until 18.40 this evening. No error message or anything else that gives me a clue what the problem might be. I don't use two step authentication)

  • Google Play and see if there is an update - mine updated 2 days ago and it had been buggy and slow, now all is cool.

    Sounds silly but try logging into a different account or use the wrong password - turn the phone off afterwards and restart and try again - I don't know if there is a memory/cache dump which seems to reset things.

    Lastly...are you using the right password :)

    Make sure the date is correct in phone, at least the year.

    Try deleting/removing the gmail account from your settings. Reinstall the the gmail account.

    Thanks Taz, I couldn't see how to delete the account when I looked before - was looking for gmail but found it under google ofc.

    Thanks again :)
