try deleting the accounts, reboot and then create the accounts again.

I didn't have a chance to create an account coz it's rejecting. What might be the issue?

This may be related to the issue many people are experiencing with Google Talk and Facebook accounts not connecting/disconnecting/getting 'Wrong password' error. There are several threads about this.

But what you experience seems slightly different in that you cannot even create the accounts in the first place. However that it happened upon installing PR1.1 seems significant.

I would try resetting the device (Settings > Reset > Restore settings), reboot, and try again. Make sure you are starting from a clean slate with NO existing accounts. 'Restore settings' does not actually delete or change many of your user settings or configurations; I have found it to be very safe.

I have restored the device twice with Factory settings but still I'm unable to connect. I restored after updating PR 1.1

There's several different workarounds discussed in this thread

Including the one just mentioned by ynad179...
Your issue sounds slightly different, but the underlying cause may be similar.

Impossible to say, have you been able to connect to your wifi network before? Are you using correct credentials and security settings? It's impossible to tell exactly what is wrong with the info you provided.

Re: Unable to connect to FB & Gmail on N9
 
WiFi worked till this morning. After i entered the following in the terminal after that started having this problem.

gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso

I'm using the correct key to login. But still it refuses..

All I can say is that you should've read that thread...
Work you way up from the less drastic workarounds, to the more drastic ones.
But it sounds like it may all be moot now, might need to jump to re-flash etc.

Try this:

http://orangescale.net/blog/log/2011...ct-to-twitter/

Warning: it wipes all connection data (WiFi configs, passwords etc) and also your current 3G connection (which is restored after a reboot). Also wipes some settings like double-tap to activate screen, screen brightness etc.
Still cannot connect..

Is it possible to download the Fb application for N9?

I have another solution found for the "cannot connect to Twitter/Gmail/Facebook/whatever" problem which can be used without Dev-Mode. In my case it seems to be all about the proxy settings. After using my work WiFi (which needs proxy) switching back to mobile data connection (where naturally no proxy is configured) seems to forget sometimes to "unset" the proxy configuration.

So I could use 'gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy' and 'gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy' and am good to go... But I didn't want this to do every other day...

So I just set the proxy config for my Mobile Data connection from "No Proxy" to "Manual", but leaving the proxy address fields blank (as they are, no changes) in the connection's Advanced Settings.

The following now happens: After switching the connection from my proxy-needing work WiFi to mobile data, the values in /system/proxy and /system/http_proxy no longer get deleted, but are just set to empty values. And with empty values the system actually assumes (what is correctly intended in this case) that it should use no proxy.

This worked for me so far. Try it! You don't have to enable Dev-Mode for this.

About the Wi-Fi connecting problem however I don't know, for this issue we should look at another configuration place?

I wonder if this is why everyone's getting this or if there's other root causes?
Either way excellent workaround for this particular issue, I will add it to the guide!

Thank-you.

The FB and GTalk has been working fine until today.
Sometimes, in the Availability page, they consistently showed me "Incorrect Password" even after a few tries to set to "Online".
I switched fro and back from mobile and wifi and they work again :confused:
(I don't use proxy in any connection)

Other Skype, MSN and Yahoo I'm running are doiing fine.

Re: Unable to connect to FB & Gmail on N9
 
My WiFi & Mobile data connection has been configured as "NO PROXY" before also. It still does not connect to FB & Gmail.

BTW my WiFi issue has been sorted out. Thanks

What was the solution for your Wi-Fi problem?

I had entered the password incorrectly. Silly me :D

I noticed FB and Gtalk will fail if I have them online on mobile network (on T-Mobile US) and later connected to a Wifi network.

Both of them will show Incorrect Password upon reconnection, other MSN, Yahoo and Skype can reconnect without problem.

The Incorrect Password will not go away even if I keep trying to go online on FB and GTalk.

That problem can be "fixed" if:
1. Connect to mobile network manually.
2. FB and GTalk will go online without problem after swtich back to mobile
3. Go offline on both.
4. Connect back to wifi
5. FB and GTalk will now go online again. However, FB sometimes might ask for the password again.

It seems like you have to sign off on FB and Talk before switching network or some connection states will be messed up to prevent login from the new network?
The FB might occassinally lose the password too.
