Unable to sign in to Nokia and Dropbox account - 'unknown error'
 

I recently tried buying an app from the Nokia store. When trying to pay with Visa, I got continuous error messages, so I thought 'let's delete the Nokia account from this phone and start all over'.
Which is what I did, and now I can't sign in to my Nokia account at all anymore (not through the Store app, not through the Accounts list on the phone).

Same happens for Dropbox. I have an account, but can't login on my N9.
The error message I get is either 'Account won't save' or 'Unknown error. Try again later'.
I have tried connecting via several networks (wifi/3G), and have also done a soft reset.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve this? (I'm kind of reluctant to try a hard reset)

Dsawhney, thanks for the info. This solution didn't solve the problem though. It erased my internet settings after rebooting (as described in the post you mentioned), and I couldn't connect to the internet at all, not via browser, not via other apps.
Luckily I made a backup a few days ago. I restored that backup and now I'm back at where I originally was, the first post of this thread.

Any other solutions?

I have had the same problem until I tried to test it on the dropbox.com (on PC), and find out, that was Dropbox wich was blocking the conexion as "password is too old" so I have click on the Link to generate a new one and after that I have tried again in N9. Works ;)

Same problem with my new N9, updated to PR 1.3.
Always "wrong username or password" error.

Dropbox API changed from 0 to 1. Built in plugin in N9 is still on 0.
My app is built on 1 but has issues witj overused tokens. I reqursted assistance from Dropbox but still no answer.

Dropian works fine for me^^ did u get error:p

Dropian works fine for exiating users. I juat ran out of token quota for new users. :)
Will be fixed soon.

Ok keep updating:) but me sad for ma c5-00 s60v3 one the drop s60 client stopped working if u could look at it n make it work if its not a lot of work as stated it would be fine http://www.tlehto.net/Drops60/ or else i ll retire ma c5 to guinea pig garage:D

Sorry, I tried mu best with Dropian for S60v3 but it cannot be done anymore.
Dropbox insists on OAuth web endpoint authorization and Webkit is just too much (20MB RAM) for good old S60v3.

Re: Unable to sign in to Nokia and Dropbox account - 'unknown error'
 

you think it would be possible to update the built in plugin?
maybe coderus can do it (he made extra-plugins after all)
i use the sharing option a lot and now it's just broken...

For what it's worth, I am still able to upload with the built in plugin.

yes but the difference is that you already have a dropbox account in your accounts list...

problem obviously lies within the authentication

if you deleted your dropbox account and add a new one it wouldn't let you...

@knobtviker

you think it would be possible to fix the built in dropbox plugin?

Ok knob :)

Re: Unable to sign in to Nokia and Dropbox account - 'unknown error'
 

FYI: as of today the built-in Dropbox plugin does not allow sharing of content between N9 and Dropbox. This does not work eventhough the account was previously created. The upload of a picture to Dropbox starts, but then fails every time, just before its it finsihed.

Removing the account makes things worse. It is not possible to re-create the Dropbox account anymore in the N9 after that :-/

As a workaround, the Dropian works, but file sharing is very clumsy, beacuse it does not show as Dropbox share option in the normal content sharing menu. To get files to Dropbox, you have to browse directly to the file in the filesystem with Dropian (no thumbnails and previews) and then select the right file just by its name and then you can upload.

I am gradually seeing a lot of similar degration in my N9 functionality because of these kind of service API changes, that no-one in Nokia is updating in the device. So, "thank you" Mr. Elop for discontinuing the support for this great device pre-maturely, now I just have to move on to Jolla and SailfishOS, to get a decent and modern and open smart phone. And I get to be part of the community that actuall cares - like the TMO here!

ELOP IS A F@'#$R
-He comes from Microsoft to Nokia (i think microsoft send them to Nokia to get a great Phone Builder)
-Destroyed Nokia with his ideas
-Nokia is on the end of existence (Microsoft and Elops Idea)
-Microsoft buy Nokia for a little Money and Elop gets his old Job back.



BASTARD

sry for this but that is what i think.
and i think im not the only one who think so.

RIP Nokia :(
