Hi guys,

I broke the screen of my old n900.
So I took my second one out of the drawer.
I reinstalled the second one from the backup of the first one.

Now, I have a strange problem.

If I synchronize my google calendar account though mfe with m.google.com on the old device, it works. (i use x11vnc to access the device without screen)

If I synchronize on the second one, I get an error:
"Exchange account disabled. Access refused"
Even though the configuration is exactly the same (same backup restored).

I've tried to get some logs by installing and enabling
sysklogd. But haven't found a trace of the error in /var/logs.
How could I have more info about the sync failing?

I have read somewhere that google doesn't allow new devices but still works with old ones. Is this true?

Anyone has an idea? A way to make the new device look like the old one?

I don't want switch the lcd screens of the phones and risk to break something.

Had and have same problem as you and used a lot of TMO time and recourses on this problem, sorry! (see ex. Ubiboot thread page 94 etc.!) and NOW I realized this:
"...that as of January 2013 it will no longer support Google Sync connections for new devices using a Gmail or free Google Apps account." http://www.zdnet.com/google-drops-ex...ts-7000008836/
and: https://productforums.google.com/for...M/ZTb7ejyvKVsJ
meaning no help for N9 users only Apple people!

Thanks for your reply

I'm using Erminig-NG right now, but it doesn't work well.
-alarms don't synch from google. (time set to 0 on n900)
-events don't get copied to google if they have an alarm set on the n900.

So I remembered well ... I read that a few months ago.
As your second link says:

I recently restored my device or upgraded to a new device and Google sync is not working.
If you have recently deleted and then restored your device, this will count as a new connection and you will no longer be able to access Google Sync. If you have purchased a new device and tried to re-add Google Sync, this also counts as a new connection. Connections are based on devices and not accounts. If you have an iPad with an existing Google Sync connection and a new iPhone, the iPad will continue to work with Google Sync, but the iPhone will not be able to add the new account. Below you will find how to replace Google Sync on your device.

On second device N9 (64GB) I use Google account for mails, for contacts manual export from Gmail and sync from N9 device one and for calendar I used CalDav but it's also cancelled now so no calender to use!
