Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/210

I cant connect with my gmail account for backup the SMS messages. I get this error message:
Could not obstain request token from Google. Make sure the network connection is active and your time / time zone is configured properly.

IMAP is enabled in gmail. What is wrong?

I solved it when I flashed my phone... You can always try to clear the
data of Sms backup+. I'm pretty sure you'll have to backup all your text
messages again, but I'm also pretty sure it'll work. Let us know how it
went please.

I had the same issue as you. This thing happened because I reset my phone. It turned out that my time zone setting is not correct. After fixed the time zone setting, sms backup+ successfully backup-ed my sms. HTH
