I'm unable to create a Google Account in the settings. After agreeing to the terms of use I was forwarded to the Google account login. There I entered the login name and the password. But after I agreed that Jolla gets access to e-mails, contacts and so on, I was redirected to a page that says I have to copy a shown code to the application (In German: "Kopieren Sie diesen Code, wechseln Sie zu Ihrer Anwendung und geben Sie ihn dort ein: XXXX"). I can not copy the code and there is also no place to paste the code to.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong?

I'm using 3.2.0.12 with Xperia X.

The chances are it is a problem (among many) with Sailfish Browser.

Try a different browser, like Webcat from Jolla Store.

same here, just now discovered: Settings informed me the Google account is disconnected, So I want to go to google login but that screen is black. So I delete my google account (in Settings) and create it fresh. However after the consent page I get the black screen again. Something's wrong with 3.2.0.12 for XperiaX here. (Now I pkcon update but it seems stuck on downloading packages respectively gives fatal errors.) Second try pkcon update worked well but I still get a black google account login page. Xperia XA2 does not do that.

can't be the browser, as the consent google conditions screen happens in settings and the (now black) google account dialog too.

I filed a request at Jolla's Service department, the zendesk.

I get the "copy code" page too.

disabling all patches and disabling developer mode in patchmanager and disabling apply on boot in patchmanager helped: The google login panel became visible. Somenting isn't perfect in patchmanager 3.0.62.

I do not use Patchmanager and the problem appears after the login page. Did you manage to create an account?

This solution does not make sense, the problem still exist and it's serious

Worked as I tried it some days later.

Sorry but I do not have patchmanager. Setting up Google account does not work. Google just gives this mysterious 40+ character code to be implemented somewhere??? Tried different combinations, nothing seems to help. No Google account. My Xperia 10 has been in use about four weeks now without problems. Now I wanted to refresh my contacts and decided to delete my google account. That was a BIG mistake. Now I am not able to login to my account again. Resetting the phone is maybe too radical job. Any more hints how to solve GOOGLE.
