Hi, a couple of things to take note .... Make sure you have a good connection either with Wi-Fi or Mobile Data, make sure you enter your GMail account and password correctly.

the gmail acct has no problem,like i said i am able to access it with my pc, even on the actual browser of this x8. and i can go on facebook through the wifi that im using right now. i alrealdy tried it as well with my web package and it really is not working. i dont think i have problems with the speed of either of these connections? do u think im doing it incorrectly or am i missing something else?

Try entering GMail account and password in landscape mode.

unfortunately it didn't work. i tried it twice with the wifi and the 3g and i placed my phone on a flat surface making sure it will not chnage its orientation.. it still says cannot stablish reliable conn.. why is this phone acting up? im able to access facebook, google and all other preinstalled app at their regular speed. i again tried to log in to my gmial with my x8 browser and it was ok.can we try something else?

See if this helps .... goto GMail application, clear data, clear cache and uninstall updates.

when i go to the actual gmail icon in my menu, it goes back to "Set up your Google Account" screen, and when i press the button that has 4 squares on top of it, it shows an option for me to access my wireless settings.. there is nothing here that says clear chache /data or updates whatever, though i can see all of these in the Browser menu.. please tell me if i'm not doing it right..
