Proud owner of a 4S as of yesterday but trying to add my Gmail account using Exchange is not working at all - I keep getting prompted to enter my password. I know this password is correct as I am logged into my PC.
When I set up my Gmail account using Gmail settings this works fine - thus proving I'm not insane and forgetting my password.
To add weight that this is a bug - my iPad (which is set up as intended) now prompts me for my password for the Gmail account - it has not done this before and has been running iOS5 since the 16th.
The settings match the ones on the iPhone 4 in the house which leaves me to think this is either related to my Gmail account (I don't see how as my Blackberry still lets me get access to my Gmail) or its either a 4s problem or iOS5 problem.
It didn't take long last night to find others having the same problem but I am yet to see any resolution of this and I actually lost sleep trying to think what else it could be.
Very frustrated as this works fine on the 4 in the house and was working on the iPad before initialising on the 4s.
I found another post that suggested going here: https://www.google.com/accounts/DisplayUnlockCaptcha. You just have to enter your real password to unlock the Captcha. I tried my Gmail mobile again and it instantly loaded - but - it was with the verification code I got by following Ceden's instructions as my password, not my real Gmail password. All in all, I have access again!
