Perhaps one day we will get some "safe storage" on the Playbook to use for "private" data - our own integrated "true crypt" ... with one singe-sign-on password for all "sensitive" data..02-23-12 11:29 AMLike 0 - Hey all. I'm having the exact same problems, but I tried a few more things that might help narrow down the issue:
- I get the exact same error when trying to set up ActiveSync Exchange at work as I do with my gmail account.
- I tried 2 different wifi connections- home and work, and both have the same issue.
- I opened the OS 2.0 VMWare simulator image (I'm a developer) and both my gmail account and my work ActiveSync work perfectly with default settings on that VM. The PC I was using also uses the same wifi network as my PB, so I doubt it's the router blocking.
- The only thing I can think of is if the upgrade path from OS 1 had an issue, or if I installed some app that's causing a conflict. Does anyone know a way to do a clean install of PB OS 2.0?
This seems to be a common issue, so if anyone from RIM is reading, please look into patching this?
Thanks!02-23-12 01:41 PMLike 0 - After struggling with getting this working following the os2 drop, Gmail worked then didn't... Never could get MS exchange to work... Finally bit the bullet and did the security wipe.
Wah-lah! Just set everything up with no issues. Still running it through the paces, but so far the sync process with MS exchange and Gmail is rock solid.
Finally realizing the email, contacts & calendar promise of os2
Strongly suggest a security wipe for those still having issues02-24-12 10:23 AMLike 0 -

- Did security wipe and un/reinstall for both devices yesterday.
Tried the steps above.
Get to the certificates page, then it fails.
Continuously getting server cannot be reached error.
Any other suggestions, please?02-24-12 12:04 PMLike 0 -
- I started getting the message about incorrect password, username, server, etc. last night, and tried several things but none worked. . . . . . My password has numbers in it also, and I was using the enhanced popup keyboard with the number keys on the top row for those numbers. I decided to use the numbers that appear on the left side of the popup keyboard (not the top row), and gmail accepted it right away. No problem since then with authentication. . . . . Perhaps playbook is sending the characters incorrectly when using the top row keys for numbers!!02-28-12 12:56 PMLike 0
- I can't believe so many of you have been rebuilding your playbook or waiting for a Blackberry fix. This is actually a GMAIL issue, not a Playbook problem. To fix, simply click on the following google URL. Enter your GMAIL password. Wait 10 minutes and then reboot your playbook. GMAIL will then work normally
