Hi !
I’m a fairly recent user of e/os since i’ve been using it since october 2024, but i’ve been dreaming about it for a long time, just didn’t have the budget to buy a copatible phone yet.
I absolutely love the privacy it procures me and how customizable it is. Unfortunately, i’m thinking of reverting back to android.
Since June 4th 2025, i have not been able to access any google service on my phone. And while this was annoying at first, i decided to wait it out, since it already happenned in december and was fixed in a month or so by the next update. But i’ve been waiting for 2 months now and i can wait no longer. I cannot access anything that requiers a google account, Gmail of course but also Google Maps, Pokemon Go, Clue (for tracking periods), Vinted, What’app has stopped all the backups etc.
I do not posess a PC and my phone is the way I access the world on a daily basis. I’ve been looking for solutions here for weeks but couldn’t find any, and the most answers I see are a version of “why do you have a degoogled OS and still want to use google?”. I think we should all be free to use the services we want and need without having to forsake our entire life to big tech, but other than that, I need Gmail for my work and i’ve already switched my calendar et stopped using google maps since december, but Pokemon Go, Clue, Vinted etc are absolute essentials for me and worked just fine until june 4th. I’ve been using e/os as a sort of firewall to protect my data, choosing conciously what I decide to share or not, instead of having all my personnal data fly into the air uncontrolled. I have loved it so far but come at an impass.
Can anybody help me ?
Do I have to just give up and revert back ? Does anybody have the same issue with microG ?
(I use a Fairphone 4)
Thanks for your help 
what’s your exact /e/ version? there were fixes in microg for spoofing a few months ago and CASA approval(s) for k9mail upstream and I think /e/-Mail App own clientid:
sure use Google consensually, Android is very Google
App compatibility in general is another topic - or were “Pokemon Go, Clue, Vinted etc” all using the Google account?
Unfortunately I do not have any competence in dev, so I do not know what that means 
Yes, the other bugged apps all use a google account for authentification
just quote us your exact version and we should figure out why Google account Oauth token can’t be renewed
could you remove and re-add the Google Account through Settings → Accounts ?
this should be safe to do, also it’s non syncing atm anyway. But to have some fallback, create a Contacts backup .vcf file export beforehand through its own settings if you added lots of accounts contacts since June when the last sync happened.
Oh my god it worked !! Thank you so much
