Google Talk and Google Sync Settings

Trahald said:

I have a problem with Gmail and Talk. I have two accounts on Play Store. One address with gmail.com extension and other one has a different extension but it is configured on Google Apps services so it is based to Gmail. When I add this address to Gmail, Gmail stops working. If I only add to @gmail.com address Gmail app works. Is there any solution for that?

P.S. On my Galaxy SII, my both address works without any problem with any Google apps.

Have you tried installing another mail app. I have had issues with this before and usually solved with manually adjusting the input pout servers. Since it uses an different host name I believe its redirected thru a proxy on their servers.

Well I re-rooted on 7.2.3 and have been unable to get Google chat to load. It always insta-crashes. I have tried all manner of combinations of installing from the system folder with no luck. Also, I can't even get accountsyncsettings.apk to install. Anyone having similar difficulties?

I've finally got root today and I'm on 7.2.3. I was able to get the acountsyncsettings working via the instructions on this page but gtalk/chat crashes on startup.

Edit: here's a log, it may help to figure out something.

I am hoping someone can help! I have a 8.9" Kindle Fire HD. It's rooted, the Play Store is installed and working OK, Maps works OK, and Google Voice works OK.

BUT - I can't get GMail to work. It says "Gmail Has Stopped". (Not, "Unfortunately, GMail has stopped.")

And, I cannot get the Sync Settings App that you mention to work either. Like GMail, it opens for a split second, then closes.

NEVER MIND...found the correct one. that fixed it

I was able to figure out my gmail sync/push problem. It's locked out by the amazon ecosystem but if you use AccountAndSyncSettings.apk, it can be unlocked and the gmail option in settings will allow you to use the stock android sync settings. I believe this is the gingerbread version but has been running on my ICS GoogleFramework. Gmail still has a slight delay over the stock fire HD email app but now if you want gmail fully functional, it works. I've had the notification bar temporarily disappear but appears to be due to a bug in Gmail app. I saw others mention something like this happening in another thread.

Downloaded Sync Settings from the play store for quick access, it allows you to choose between stock amazon settings and the android settings. This only works once you've installed AccountAndSyncSettings.apk

I have yet to figure out the gtalk disconnection issue. Any feedback will still be appreciated.

In the last picture, you can just use the sync settings app from the play store to access and manage your accounts. Mine goes in order of Amazon, Twitter, Facebook, Dropbox, Exchange and Gmail. Email addresses blocked out for privacy.

**** In order to fully activate google sync for the very first time, you need to turn on the sync settings through gmail first. Then you can use the sync settings shortcut app to get to the rest of your sync and manage from there. Again, this was done on a rooted 7.1.5 device with google play account active and done at your own risk.

This may be a far cry but I need help for the same problem except I'm using Galaxy S3 i747.
I'm currently running Jelly Bean 4.2.1 and I don't know if installing a different Google Services Framework.apk will work or if it'll brick my phone.
My gtalk hasn't been syncing and it has been frustrating as I use it everyday.
Thanks for any advice.
