Some N9 users have experienced weird behaviors regarding user accounts (Email, Skype, Twitter, Nokia account, etc). Thereby the phone keeps constantly asking to enter passwords for these accounts - even if everything is set up right.
It's very annoying since every time you or the phone tries to connect or sync services, it stops because somehow it forgets all the passwords. This makes it for example impossible to use Twitter application or Facebook*
This issue can occur with just one account or in the worst case with all of them. Affected are all devices running P.R 1.0 or 1.1 (hopefully fixed with 1.2) and so far it's unknown why or when that problem shows up.
Fortunately some users found a solution for this. You need to enable "Developer Mode" and enter those lines in Terminal application, all entered separately.
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/http_proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/proxy
gconftool --recursive-unset /system/osso
Be aware that these changes will delete any Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connection - you also will have to reenter all account informations (hopefully for a last time!)
»Watch the video below to do it certainly the right way (stop video if to fast - what will likely be the case...):
Did it solve the problem for you? Please leave your comment.
*In case you have only issues with the Facebook account, the origin of the problem could be a different one. Jaffa left following comment:
Facebook is a problem pre-PR1.2 (hopefully fixed afterwards) for a different reason. When the device moves from a wireless LAN to a data connection, it will get another IP address.
Facebook's servers suddenly detect that you're accessing your account from another "location" and demand you reauthorise yourself. Apparently, Nokia are not allowed by Facebook to remember the password - only the validated session ID. Once Facebook has invalidated that session, the device must ask for the password.
This really shows that Facebook doesn't "get" mobile - where users will be regularly switching between IPs as they move between networks.
