[Q] Problem with android. gsf login - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I keep getting every few hours a notification that says Notification: Request permission for (my gmail account) and when I select the notification it says Unfortunately the process com. Google. android. gsf login has stopped.
Anyone know how I can correct this?

I'm having the same problem. It started happening after 4.3 update.

Check out this forum: http://productforums.google.com/forum/m/#!topic/gmail/EdxOEzSOqeg
Some people have found My Tracks to be the culprit.

It worked for me.
What I did was go into My Tracks app > Settings > Google
Disable 'Sync Google Drive' and re-enable it.
Thanks jasonsf.

I've been having this issue with my LG Optimus L9 and while some of the solutions worked, everytime the phone is powered off, the error would return; each time more difficult to fix than the last.
It reached a point where I factory reset the phone and the error remained, preventing me to login to google account and thus having a smartphone without the smart (no access to app store, just the phone).
There were no solutions to help me solve this. I eventually found the root app GoogleLoginService.apk and downloaded it. Once I reinstalled it to my phone, it worked like new. So simple.
Hope this helps someone else

[Help] Can't add google account in nexus one

Just received a nexus one. I didn't add google account when nexus one was started for the first time. It can connect internet correctly and access google reader and gmail.
But I can't add google account in nexus one later so can't download software from market. I tried a couple of times, it still failed.
The error message is "this could be a temporary problem o your phone may not be provisioned with data services".
Has anyone seen the similar issues? Any one can help on this? Thanks in advance!
Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > add Account.
Thanks! This is exactly what I did. But Adding google account failed.
The error message is "this could be a temporary problem o your phone may not be provisioned with data services".
------------------------------------------------------------
After factory reset, it can work now(adding google account right after reset).
Is this a defect or bug in Anroid 2.1 or Nexus one. The user should be able to add google account later.
I did not add a Google account at first because I did not have myAPN set up. I was able to add it later though. So I do not think it is a problem with the phone or android 2.1. Atleast not all of them.

Yes, a few guys in google help forum reported the same issue. Not sure it's Nexus one's issue or 2.1's.
Try a factory reset, shouldn't be too much of a hassle since you haven't set it up too much, right?
Log in via the mobile network first, not WiFi... that's a typical error message if you try and create an account via WiFi before doing so via the mobile network.
If you've already tried this... sorry, I can't offer anything more.

[Q] Google account sign-in error but sync still working

I have this weird error on my stock P6800. When doing a sync with my google account, I get a Google sign-in error and need to enter my password. My password is not accepted, although in my I9100 it works fine.
Even with this google sign-in error, I am still getting my contacts, gmail, drive, calendar and g+ correctly synced ..... it's that annoying little triangle error that bugs me.
Tried to uncheck items to sync but still getting that error. Anybody else having this before I wipe everything to factory?
Same thing happened since yesterday. It started just after updating the new G+ apps. I thought it was due to my fiddling with 2-step authentication setup, but nope, that wasn't it. Tried reset/reinstall everything. Also tried changing new password. Same thing happened again after installing with the new G+.
I just turned off background sync for G+ (and leave other google apps as-is), and it seems did the trick to stop the error popping up. This is not exactly an answer, but simply a temporary workaround until google comes up with update to fix.
(This problem is not limited to any particular brand of android phone or tablet. Do a google search on "google sign-in error" and you may find many incident mushrooming in past day or so.)
I tried turning off sync, one item at a time. Still having that sign-in error. This is definitely affecting not all since my stock I9100 with the very same account and sets of google apps does not give the sign-in error.
Same problem here too and Problem started yesterday night here in KL. I'm using an HTC Incredible S btw.
It's getting really annoying now so hopefully Google will get it fixed ASAP.
Same here since yesterday.

I'm having the same. Had a few updates from Google and after that it started. Except from the notification still works so am ignoring it.
I think it's Firefox Sync problem
I think the problem is with the new Firefox Sync
he he I do not have Firefox on my Lenovo K800 but I still have the problem
Same here, since last night. Constant authentication errors; I can login fine from my computer and from other computers with the same password as always, and everything seems to sync fine - I still get e-mail, Reader works, G+ works...
Just ignoring it for now.

Solution
I found it's a Google+ sync error. Just deactivate Google+ sync on settings and it will be OK again.
Made a lot of tests, until I found the right way.
I tried with two separate accounts and it gave me the error with all of them. So just deactivating Google+ sync made the error dissapears.
Same for me. I just uninstalled Google+ and reinstalled it, and sync is now possible without error.
Google fixed this error
This seems to be fixed before the Google+ update last saturday. Glad we didn't factory reset
Same thing happened to me. I thought my account was hacked so ichanged the password but the error still persisted so i just let it be, after some updates with Google+ the error is now gone.
With the last revision, I have no sync error, but I can't open Google+, because as soon as I select the account, it tries to connect but gives an error "Without conection", and then a forzed close window. So I've got not sync error at this moment, but can't use Google+ too :crying:
This issue just started up again and I do not have google+ or firefox installed. Any solution that actually works?

[Q] Google+ "Can't Connect to Server"

Anyone on here ever have trouble using the G+ app after flashing a new ROM and then backing up with TB? I'm having this issue on my Nexus S & 10, but my 7 is mysteriously fine...can't figure out why and there are no solutions online that work. I've turned 2 step authentication off, removed my Google account and then signed back in, rebooted, uninstalled and reinstalled, and checked my Wifi Settings...nothing has worked. This issue is driving me insane.

I'm having the same problem, except its with my Nexus 7. Rooted with TWRP, been running CleanROM3.0 for a while now, but installed Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly (31/01/13) today. Restored apps using Titanium but some would not restore, including Youtube and Google+. Upon installing Google+ I got the error message "Cannot connect to Server".
I have since, wiped cache, wiped dalvik, formatted internal data, removed all of my google accounts (had two other accounts on there that I had not signed up to google+ with) and added my main one again - but still can't sign in to G+. Also saw other fixes online such as updating your location and time/date settings, but did not work. I've uninstalled and reinstalled G+ about 6000 times today I think. I finally managed to sign into a 2.0 version of the Google+ app that I found online, and then tried updating to the latest in the Play Store, but it did not display the update option, and when I uninstalled and reinstalled, again I couldn't sign in. Thinking of going back to stock, re rooting and installing Cyanogenmod when I get home - but if you discover any other fixes in the meantime please let me know!
Thanks,
I finally got it to work. Here's how I did it:
Wipe your device, flash whatever ROM you use, flash GAPPS, login using your Google account (do it manually) and then when you boot up TB install everything as you usually do, but don't restore system settings or any of the google apps (no G+, Wallet, etc) install those manually using the Play store. If what I did actually made it work, then you shouldn't have any problems using G+.

I'm having this issues also, thanks for the help!
Edit
-Still, it does not work. I wiped, flashed a ROM, ignore titanium backup, login and installed Google+ from playstore but it really does not work When I open the app, it just lead me to a white background then google+ does not load. The same as messenger app.

I'm out of ideas :/
I'm a little late to the party, but is there any chance any of you have tried chameleon launcher or any other app that may be able to access Google+?
I just installed Chameleon launcher on my phone and set up the Google+ widget that Chameleon has built in and when I granted it access is when my Google+ app stopped working. I had to uninstall it reinstall and set up the widget again and then deny access to get it working again. I know it's a long shot but it just may help.

Solution
I've had the same problem - I hope my solution might help some of you:
In my case the problem was AdAway (especially the "hostsx_googlecode_com/svn/trunk/hosts"-source) after deleting this source and refreshing AdAway the problem was gone...
I had this problem recently while trying to install Android 4.3 on my Int'l Galaxy Nexus (maguro). What I did to fix it was log on to Google Dashboard from my computer and click on Security. While under Security, I scrolled down to Connected Sites and clicked on Review Permissions. At the next screen, revoke the permissions of all apps at the top of the list that pertain to Android (or at least the ones granted permissions since you broke whatever you did). Once you've done this, you should be able to login to Google+ (or Hangouts if that's where your trouble lies) without any trouble. I've messed this up twice in the last day or so and this fix has got me back on track both times.

Wipe data of the app and then open it again. I had the same issue and that fixed it right away.

One solution for stock Nexus 7
I know this is an old thread but want to share a possible solution to help others Googling for help like I was.
I'm on Nexus 7 2013 with multiple users (AKA profiles). I had the same error "Can't connect to server" with Google+. Hangouts and Gmail apps logged in fine. Other user was fine using Google+ the whole time.
What worked for me:
* Open Photos app.
* Click OK on auto-backup.
* Open Google+ app. Select account to sign in with (if you have more than 1 Google accounts like me)
Really, I don't know why auto-backup was ever turned off, maybe an update to the Photos app. My guess is the Photos app was locking access to Google+ while waiting for me to choose yes or no on the auto-backup.
What didn't work:
* Unchecking, rechecking Sync with Google+.
* Restarting.
* Clearing Google+ app cache and data.
Tech details of Nexus 7:
* Stock Android 4.4.3.
* Build KTU84L.

Google 2 factor authentication stopped working

Anyone else having trouble with google 2FA authentication?
I went to bed last night with a fully working Developer and Rooted S5 phone - workup this morning and my phone would not access any google service. Thought maybe my google account had been hacked (password reset), but tablet and laptop still connected just fine.
I reentered my id, password, and 2fa codes several times, but still said login failed. I would get the email that it consumed a onetime use 2FA code, but the phone still said "there is a problem signing in". I tried from gmail, hangout, google+ and it always failed. The time it worked i was prompted from the play store app. Once it worked, everything else started working too.
Anyone else? Was there a security policy update that could break this?
I don't have 2FA set up, but I did get the "problem signing in" prompt and had to reenter my password. It was for only one of the google accounts on my phone though. Wonder if google has a glitch earlier today?

[Q] Unable to install any app

I began having an issue earlier today with Google Play where I got an unknown error 110. I thought maybe it was just bad connection, but I still had the issue on WiFi. I looked around for about an hour for solutions, and found two common and relevant fixes - clear Google play cache and factory reset. I tried the first and there was nothing to clear. I then tried to install a 3rd app and it failed to open the .apk. I also made sure my phone allowed unknown sources, and my settings crashes every time I hit security. After all of this failing, I decided to factory reset, and everything is still the same, except the Google Play error is now 406 with the same effect. Is there a good way to get this fixed?
Currently using Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 with 4.4.2.

Already tried that, both before and after the factory reset. Both buttons are greyed out. I also was forced to re-add my Gmail account after the reset. Both my usual and backup Gmail accounts have the issue in the Google Play store.

I still cannot open any .apk file manually, giving the error "unable to open file". I'm not sure waiting for Google Play to update will fix this. Also what about settings->security crashing?
