Question [Q] Uploading to Google My Tracks

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone with the SGS II has managed to upload their tracks to Google maps? Every time I try it just waits at the authenticating to Google Maps screen without ever uploading anything. If I try on my old SGS it still works fine so it looks like it's just the SGS II that has the problem.

I did read elsewhere that it could be to do with the phone not having the default language set to english, but I have checked the phone and the default language is set to english, so I'm stumped. Any suggestions?

I think they are being imported rather than uploaded using the sgs2 as that's the only way I can do it, although I could be wrong (and usually am)

Would be good to hear if anyone had successfully uploaded via the phone.

Same problem here too. Had to import tracks manually.

Same problem for me. There seems to be a problem with certain apps accessing my google account for authentication.

If I plug my phone into the PC and watch the console in eclipse I can see in the system logs there is some kind of authentication exception that isn't being handled properly when you try to upload a track.

This affects My Tracks, Andlytics and probably anything else that uses your google account in the same way.
