<![CDATA[Can't sign in to Opera account on Android app: "Temporary server error. Please try again later."]]>Dear Opera,

For about 2 months now, when I try to sign in to my Opera account on the Android app, I get this error message:

"Temporary server error. Please try again later."

Please help.

Only one of them has working syncing when doing it this way. I'm guessing I copied over some identifier that needs to be unique. But At least I figured out it's possible to sign in and that it's not a "server error".

My guess is that the opera app generates a identifier for the device and sends it to the server when signing in through the app. On newer android versions that identifier doesn't look like the server expects it to and the server just throws back a generic error message.

Of-course if you log one device out you log them both out. 😃

Make a backup of the app and its data with an app like Titanium backup. And then go to your newer device and restore the app and its data there. Now you have an opera install that is signed in to your opera account. 😃 Good luck!

Some good news to report, possibly helpful to others who are having difficulty logging in. First, some background: I live in China, behind the 'great firewall', so Google websites are all blocked. Now the good news: Using a VPN, I went to Playstore and downloaded the latest version of Opera for Android, version 4.3, not the Beta, fyi. I was then able to successfully log in to Opera AND sync my bookmarks by using the Google log in option. In other words, problem solved. Not sure if that helps anyone, but if you're having problems logging in to Opera, try logging in through Google. For whatever reason, it worked.

But here's the problem, although the browser is signed in, it doesn't sync anything with my other devices signed in to that account

It belongs to another topic.

But here's the problem, although the browser is signed in, it doesn't sync anything with my other devices signed in to that account. I can't access their tabs, bookmarks etc. Also, on my Windows PC, under Bookmarks > Other Speed dials, the android device is not listed. So this implies that Opera fixed the sync sign in error superficially. Its a fake "Successful Sign-in". The Sync service just doesn't work AT ALL.
Tried reinstalling the app/logging out & logging back in. DOESN'T WORK.

Phone: Moto G4 Play (Android 6.0.1)
Opera Browser v42.7.2246.114996

Pls resolve this problem at the earliest.

I'm using a fairly new, top-shelf android mobile phone - the Vivo Xplay5S. I just recently switched from Firefox and downloaded Opera for Android - version 47.7 something, if that helps. Fyi, I am in China, which I thought might be the problem, but based on the other comments above, maybe not. Anyway, logging in is not a deal breaker since the Opera browser is otherwise wonderful in every way. Fast, great design and page rendering, fast video, everything you'd want in a mobile browser. So, thank you for offering this great browser for free - and good luck to you with this little bug! I am confident you can solve it.

What to do?

Read the forums rules would be a good start.

Take special attention to numbers 1 and 2.

I too run in to this and have no way to sync between my mobile and desktop, therefore, due to lack of fixing, I will change browser.

Hey Opera staff, we're here, our problem is that we can't sign in to our opera on our Android devices, is it so hard to see the problem? Take a phone or 100 of them and try to sign in with different accounts, it's not that hard!
Seems like after every update Opera looses one by one the functions that I like since November last year. It's not stable anymore when I open 100 tabs from the bookmarks, on android, youtube doesn't run on background anymore, crashes every now and then on both devices, freezes.
Dudes, bring back the last year opera and stop there, don't update until Opera doesn't have a qualified team o developers, fire the young infants that can't solve some simple codes!

The sync feature seams to work on Opera mini with the LG G2 and Galaxy Tab S at least.
Minis sync didn't work with the Galaxy Tab. I have not tried the other devices yet.

And if cannot synchronize, I will only use it for very very few occasions, almost won't use it.
