How to get Gmail App working on the Motorola A780

For this to work you need to have a GPRS connection to connect to the net. Note: WAP access will not do. You have to have full internet access on your A780.

First of all install the GMail App on your Phone.

  • Go to gmail.com on your Phones browser
  • Click the link ‘Get faster GMail
  • Download and Install

Now you might get and Error: ‘No Certificate found’ or something like that when you try to use the GMail App. Here is the remedy:

  • Connect to the internet on some PC and go to verisign.com/support/roots.html
  • Fill up the form and download the ZIP file
  • Extract its contents and find PCA3ss_v4.509 file
  • Rename it to PCA3ss_v4.cer
  • Drop it into your Phone memory via USB or bluetooth.
  • Open Opera Broswer and goto Menu Setup>SSL Certificates
  • Click insert and choose PCA3ss_v4.cer ( go to whichever folder you dropped the file in)
  • and Voila !!

Now enjoy GMail on your A780. I’m enjoying it.
