Question re: Samsung Galaxy Portal on 3 network

[spionfox]

My missus wants to use 'Android Market' to d/l some free apps and needs a Googlemail account. She has one but every time she tries to sign in on her phone she gets an error saying that the phone cannot connect to the server and to try later.

Phoning 3 support (sic) is pathetic. Anyone got any ideas as to whether it is a simple setting or something?

Before you ask, yes, she does have the internet enabled!

Thanks.

As a start

Is it the phone or the gmail account that isn't able to connect?

 

[Matt_B]

tell her to change her googlemail account back to @googlemail and not @gmail, that should fix it.

Fixed now!

If anybody else ever gets this problem a removal of the sim card and a reboot fixed it for her.

So the answer to the question: "Have you tried turning it off, then back on again?" is yes.

Not that anybody asked that question, but if they had, the answer would indeed have been yes with the result that taking that action alone didn't work!
