Answer 1

I just had the same problem. It only appeared on my dev phone, but on the emulator and another phone the code worked fine. After trying out several solutions to related questions with no luck, eventually it turned out that I had not set the time and date on the dev phone, which doesn't have a sim-card in it. This caused SSL certificates to be invalid and OAuth request to fail, as well as anything else that used HTTPS. After setting the time the problems went away.
