Okay, maybe not panic but definitely confusion. If you’re currently the owner of an Android smartphone or tablet (and why wouldn’t you be?), you may have noticed your device prompting you about a “sign-in error” for you Google account. Attempting to follow the onscreen “touch to sign in to your account” directions will fail and take you back to the error screen.
But don’t freak out, everything seems to be working as normal. Apps can still be download and updated from the Play Store, but Gmail seems to no longer be syncing. We’re not sure what the issue is, but we’re confident Google is hot on the case and everything will be fixed up shortly. For ROM flashers who were ready to wipe or flash a new ROM — STAHP.
Update: Thanks to the amazing hive mind that is our Phandroid readers, it looks this could be related to Jelly Bean’s Google Now app. Upon opening the app, users will be greeted with a “no connection” toast message despite a full WiFi or data connection. Whether this is the root of the problem, or simply a result of it, we’ll keep digging.
Its a Google Now issue.
Good to know that it’s not just me :)
Looks like it may be related to Google Now, as it reappears each time I launch that app. As far as I can tell, that is the only service affected.
Seems to be related to Google now,every time I open it I get no connection and my non jb device doesn’t have a sign in error
Yes, i’m so glad it’s not only me. HAHA
Yeah; found these various posts here and elsewhere —- but only after I tried restoring a Nandroid….. The way to verify is to go into Google Now. You’ll get a “no connection” message.
Oh and I thought I was the only one! PHEW!
Thanks for the post. I was starting to freak out.

I couldn’t figure out what I did wrong!
go to settings, apps, all, open “Google Account Manager” and disable notifications. Its a temp solution till Google fixes
Having issues on my n7 and gnex
I almost thought I was being high-jacked!
yes…its only Google now issue for me
Gmail is still syncing? For me not. If I dont sync manually the autosync will stay dead.
Gah, you’re right. It looked like it was, but I just tried to verify and it’s borked =/
I was having issues on my gnex and Xoom…..everything was working even purchased a few apps to verify…..huh
Lol, stupid problem had to start happening after I flashed a few things. I thought I screwed something up.
I was about to flash stock again thinking this was a CM10 related issue, I guess I’ll stick with my JB. Thank you, Phandroid. (:
Had the same thought. Thankfully I googled my google problem. Thanks google / damnit google!
I just flashed Pete’s newest Bugless Beast build yesterday, and I thought I borked my phone. Good thing I was out, or else I could’ve reflash back to stock…
Seems as though the issue is DEFINITELY Google Now. Every time I launch it, it says no connection. I cannot even turn it off to remove the error. Could it be related to the universal search lawsuit?
No, it cannot be related to the lawsuit.
Wasn’t sure if that applied to just the specific samsung devices or not. Thanks :D
Google now isn’t working.
What will happen the day we all get that issue only it doesn’t sync….
Pure spectaculation….but maybe Google is testing new function?
hahaha. I was tethering and had this happen. I assumed my carrier was messing with me :)
I’m still running just fine, still getting Gmail. (VZW GS3 Sacramento CA)
Thanks so much for the post phandroid. I was starting to really worry somebody was hacking my gmail or something. Huge relief!
i am getting the issue with syncing of the contacts only everything else works
I blame apple I walked into an Apple store today and used google Now.. Those bastards..
lol
What a PIA, I was using Google now on my N7, then boom this happened. tried to remove and reinstalled my Google account, remove and reinstalled Google search app. Nothing worked, I still have the sign in error. Searched and found out I am not alone….
been bothering me all night! thanks for the info and updates.
Well crap LOL. Read this article just as my N7 was finishing the obligatory wipe to flash the newest CM 10 nightly LOL. I thought it was an issue with todays version and my device not liking each other.
I Run ICS with Google Now on SG2 and getting the same Google Sign in error. So i would have to agree its Google Now trying to authenticate.
ehrmagerd I’m not panicking just yet. Hope it’s fixed by tomorrow morning. BTW- What battery widget is that, or is it a ROM?
It looks like it’s all fixed, I am back to normal. 12:50am EST…
you can fix the google-now error by uninstalling the update to it
Its fixed for me now.
Thank you for posting this!! I spent the last hour trying to figure out what is causing this error message on my phone. Relieved the problem is not on my end! I can now go to sleep and expect all to be well in the morning, courtesy of Google’s ace techs. ;-)
pretty sure it’s resolved now
update is false. I’m running ics on the EVO 4g LTE and I have the error as well. no google now. also, the update everyone is speaking of for maps, I have not seen it yet. I also know I’ve read several of my apps have been updated, but the play store has shown no updates for 2 days. just my observations.
Sensation running Elegancia’s Sense4 2.7 ics is doing it too
Holy crap was this driving me nuts!! Been trying any solution I could think of. I thought it was something I messed up.
it occured to my stock galaxy nexus Jelly Bean
Signed out of Google Now auto suggest. That seemed to make the notifications go away. Not a permanent fix, but at least the error message is gone.
I just went on my google account and revoked my application specific password (can’t remember exactly what it was for (2-step verification)) and clicked the next button on the notification on my phone and it went right in… :-/
I’m running 4.0 with Google Now on my HTC sensation and I’m getting this issue.
Good thing I checked here, lol.
I just reinstalled my ROM and everything started working fine again
Is anyone’s Google autosync working? Mine isn’t. Though Google Now is fixed and I was able to deal with the notification. Google sync says sync is currently experienceing problems. >.<
Glad I found this post before I tried to fix it. Now I’ll just wait. I get the sign in error notification but no error message in Google Now. Running a Nexus 7.
Mine started working fine after I un installed McAfee lol… For what it’s worth, I’m in CM10 on a Verizon Galaxy Nexus
had the problem for a couple of hours and then it just disappeared on its own. No sweat!
I had flashed a new ROM last night and thought that it might be due to that.
Thanks Phandroid for letting me know it wasn’t just me.
Cheers
i thinks its now fixed
Rebooting fixed it on both my Galaxy Nexus & my Nexus 7.
It appears to have been fixed.
my Google now never stopped working and I still got the error
Had the problem but it seems to be gone now
I reset my nexus right before the news broke about this lost a lot of movies and games and music dam it
Lmfao…I was one of those people who thought that it was my ROM that was the problem and I was about to flash a different one
I figure it out, it’s the Google Map update issue, just wipe Google Map and remove new update, then installed from Google Play, everything is fine now!
having problem on stock icecream with no google now
JellyBean Only? I think not….ICS 4.0.4 Evo LTE here and i have the error.
I think they just fixed it because I pressed next and whatever and it disappeared and hasn’t came back yet. Google Now is working also. I was flipping out. Thought it was those haxers.
it happened on ICS too if you have flashed Google Now, for the root savvy among us
People, Just uninstall Google + and the problem will immediately go away. At least, it worked for me.
Woke up this morning and looks like it may have been fixed. The error went away, GNow is working properly, & Gmail is syncing. Didn’t have to reboot.
Good I thought this was just me. I had changed my PW yesterday and then that happened later on. It cleared up after like 5 minutes but I thought I was hacked (there have been numerous attempts since I’ve had my Gmail account =)
I fixed it by going into –>>>Settings —>>>Apps —>>>All
Force stop – Google Now AND Google Account Manager. Then go back into Google Now and it works.
The problem is really the Google Account Manager, but I did Google Now because that is what I saw was causing the problem in the first place. I did this last night and have not had that Sign-in Error since then,
Good to know, I was thinking their was something wrong with my google account, I’ll just ignore it for the time being, though I hope they fix it soon, it’s annoying.
i was a bit worried last night, but it was fixed when i awoke. what a relief!
I work at walmart at several customers using stock are getting this error as well
Uninstalled and reinstalled the update, it sorted for me.
Um…? So my ICS Epic 4G Touch doesn’t count anymore? Well I guess I’m a little late to start ranting. I exited out my account and tried to log back in. Wasn’t working, on both ICS and Jelly Bean. But it seems to be fixed now.
Had this problem on my Inc2 running CM9 and Google Now, it’s now fixed.
You can switch syncing back on with Gmail / GCal etc. by going into the G+ settings and manually re-enabling photo sync. It will pop up a window that lets you re-enable syncing on your Google accounts (and anything else, Facebook etc.) You can’t re-enable syncing through the accounts setting, unfortunately, something is very b0rked. After re-enabling syncing, your GApps will sync again, although you’ll still get the sign-in error occasionally.
Hey Chris any update on these? Any idea on how much longer we will be with no playstore access?
