12 How to Overcome a Google Account That Can't Login - In an era that is completely connected to the internet, having a Gmail account is a must for every smartphone user. The reason is, almost all services provided by Google will be connected to the Gmail account owned by the user.
Although very much needed, users often experience problems when they want to access their Gmail account. One of the most common problems is that users can't log into their Gmail. This of course will make the user's activities to work until learning becomes disrupted.
There are many factors that affect users not being able to login to Gmail themselves. It is possible that these problems occur due to problems with the browser, incorrect account passwords and the possibility that the Gmail account has been hacked.
To overcome the problem of not being able to login to Gmail, there are several methods that users can apply. Reporting from Android Authority (28/8), here's how users can try to log into their Gmail account.
12 How to Overcome a Google Account That Can't Login
1. Close and reopen Gmail
The first step that users can take when logging in to Gmail is problematic on an Android or iOS device is to close and reopen the e-mail application. This can also be applied when users access Gmail through a browser, the way is by closing the browser and reopening the Gmail access.
2. Make sure Gmail Sync is on
Sometimes, the problem of not being able to login occurs because of a setting error in Gmail. One of the reasons users can't log in to Gmail is that Gmail sync is turned off. Therefore, make sure Gmail Sync sync is on before closing it. The trick is to click the three-dot button in the upper left corner of Gmail > Settings > select an account > look for the 'Data usage' option > make sure Gmail sync is on.
3. Check for updates
Another reason that causes users to not be able to login is that the Gmail application on their smartphone is outdated. So, it's a good idea if users check it first on the Google Play Store and update to a newer Gmail version so that they can login to their account.
4. Restart the device
The next obstacle that can also cause users to not be able to login to Gmail is a problem with the device being used. To overcome this, users can restart the device they are using and then reopen their Gmail account.
5. Reset Gmail account
Gmail logins can also be problematic when users enter the wrong password or account address. The trick to overcome this problem is to reset their Gmail account. Users can do this by going to the Google Account Recovery page and entering the Gmail address that can't be logged in.
If the user forgets the email address, they can press the 'Forget email' button and follow the next step. If you just forget the password, the user can choose to reset the Google account password and click 'Forgot password' and fill it with a new password so that Gmail can be used again.
6. Check internet connection
If the user fails to log into his Gmail account, you should not immediately panic. Try checking the internet connection you are using first and make sure the connection is really stable. Although fairly simple, sometimes an internet connection can be the main cause of users failing to login to Gmail.
7. Clear cache
Cache can also be the cause of users not being able to login to Gmail. Usually this happens because the cached data is too much so that the device cannot process the login. Therefore, users can clear cache and cookies in the browser or Gmail application in order to access their Gmail account.
8. Change browser
When users have difficulty logging in to Gmail via a browser on a smartphone or desktop, the tips that can be done are to try to access it with another browser. For example, users can access Gmail through Mozilla Firefox when they can't access it via Google Chrome.
9. Make sure the network connection is good and available
The thing you have to make sure is that you are connected to a network, either cellular data or wifi. This is often overlooked or forgotten if we buy a new Android and forget to insert the SIM card but immediately want to create a Google account or immediately want to log in to the Google account that we already have.
So make sure your phone is connected to the network, if something is good and fast or not slow because it's a bit heavy to connect to the google server. And if you can't log in now, you don't have to worry, because we can log in at any time, it's not mandatory when we first turn on the cellphone.
10. Pause When Creating a Google Account on Android
The ease of creating a google or gmail account on Android is often used by some people to create a lot of emails, aka 'nuyul' emails. Indeed, if we make it on Android, we are not required to even find a column to fill in a phone number, but if we make it on the web, we are definitely required to create a Google account with a cellphone number.
I suggest that if you often create multiple gmail accounts on Android in large numbers in a short period of time, you can simply create a gmail account in the fastest period of time, which is once every 10 minutes, I think every 10 minutes is quite safe because to create your own gmail account does not arrive. 5 minutes done.
And if you give it every 10 minutes and get a warning that you can't communicate with Google's servers, you just have to give it a longer period of time, for example 20 minutes or 25 minutes and so on. But usually the next day it will be back to normal and you can create a google account in 10 minutes.
11. Pause When Login Google account
For this one, it's the same as the second method, the difference is that if you made this one, you login or enter. If we create or log in too quickly, the system will definitely detect unusual activity, so you give it a few moments to be able to login to some of the Google accounts that you have.
12. Clear Google Play Services App Data
The last thing you can do is clear the Google Play Services application data. This method, if you have tried the 2nd and 3rd method, especially if your cellphone after being reset to factory settings often encounters problems when you want to login to your google account, you can use this method.
It's also easy, you just go to Settings> Apps> All Apps> Google Play Services> Clear App Data. Well, if you have deleted the data, it will most likely be back to normal.
So that's some ways to overcome not being able to login to gmail and google accounts. Maybe if your smartphone / Laptop uses English the notification will be like this couldn't sign in there was a problem communicating with google servers, can't establish a reliable connection to the server android, or couldn't sign in can't establish a reliable connection to the server is the same.
