my gmail account has been disabled.
is there a way, aside from factory resetting, to remove my origional setup gmail account?
settings>accounts and sync>account you want to remove>remove
Settings> Accounts and sync
Remove your old Google account and add the new one.
I know it doesn't help you but I have to ask,
How did you manage to get your gmail account suspended?

Midget porn.
I have NO idea how or why it would happen. I have been reading that using file sharing has been known to cause this, I use Samba constantly if that counts.
I cannot delete the account through the settings menu as it was the account used to set up my phone, Its saying I have to factory reset...and I really dont want to do that.
No midget porn either...what gives!?
You have to have a second account on the phone before you can delete the original.
I have 3 accounts synced , and it still is saying that I have to factory reset to remove the account linked to the market (and everything else)
Do I really need to lose my paid market apps AND all my phone data?
I am running bonsai and I do have titanium backups of everything...but I factory reset...bonsai restores all data, and I assume that would include the accounts and sync app/data
You try contacting google? It might help
Send Google an angry letter.
Midget porn.....lol heh heh....classic
try this before removing the account
I believe the only way to remove the original account used to setup the phone is to do a factory reset. You would also lose access to any apps you've paid for with that account.

Hi,
I've recently done a factory reset to switch the google account I was using.
Now whenever I receive email, my Inbox is not update via the app only via All Mail which I have to check manaually.
Via the web on both the PC and Hero, the email is sitting in the inbox correctly. Changing the sync label settings (i.e. increasing from 7 to 8 days etc) will update the inbox correctly, but not for any new incoming mail.
Has anyone encountered this issue and managed to fix it? I've seen it mentioned a few times on various discussion boards from a google search, but no fixes?
Bump. Another issue seems to be messages getting stuck in the Outbox until I clear the gmail cache or change the label sync options. I've emailed HTC to see if they can raise this issue with google, there doesn't seem to be anyway to email someone at google?

When you wiped, did you go through the initial setup wizard to log in to your new Google account, or did you skip it to do it later?

No I did it straight away
I've managed to get my google account setup with HTC Mail on google's exchange server finally. However it is not pushing mail via this also, and I'm wondering if it's a problem with my account or something?
If you have a Google Apps for Domains account, you need to turn on "Google Sync" for the domain, but this isn't applicable to standard Gmail accounts.
I can only suggest that you try another wipe to see if this fixes the problem - take a nandroid backup first though, just in case it doesn't work.

I've enabled Google sync, but I didn't think about doing a nandroid backup and wiping it. I'll try that I think.

Tried a factory reset earlier and it didn't work, sync'd mail once and then stopped receiving new emails. Restored the nandroid backup now.
Just done a reset and tried it with an @googlemail address (instead of my hosted domain) and it works.
Must be something to do with the hosted domain?
I'm going to guess it is with a hard reset, but I don't want to mess with all the apps I downloaded. I was able to delete all my contacts so it is fine, but I'm thinking it might automatically sync up with my gmail and download my contacts or erase my contacts online after I sell the phone. What are my options?
or maybe I can set it to a different gmail, but how do I do that? Or maybe it is really simple, just change the password on my gmail account, that should work right?
Ok, changing my password worked, but now it seems to be stuck on asking for my password, but not giving the next person the option to change accounts, or how can I manually change it to a different gmail?
if you want to remove your details before selling the phone, try a factory reset. or you can go into the google app data in the applications management and clear the data there.
Yeah, I was able to clear all data, but was just concerned the phone would have my gmail password and access my data again so changing the password worked. It just got stuck asking for my password when I pretended to want to add phone number by syncing. I'm rebooting now too see what it asks for now.
But I guess there is no way to connect it to another gmail account without doing a factory reset? Doesn't a factory reset eliminate all the programs I installed that are non market? I can reinstall, but if I sell it to a noob they might have a problem.
Are you rooted? If so, there should be a setting in the development app to unsync with google. (I might be wrong though, deleted the app, lol).

AFAIK, that's a deliberate feature so that you can't pay for an app on one account and sign in with it on multiple phones, then unsync and keep the apps (thereby stopping people from getting apps from their friends for free).
Dude wtf? Just do a hard reset and it will ask you to log back into google. As long as you DON'T log back in, what on earth makes you think it's going to sync your contacts back up?

WTF r3s-rt!! wanna make something out of it, hehe jk. I guess you weren't reading the posts. It was already taken care of with changing my password in the edit. Also, I'm guessing you're a noob and don't realize a hard reset will put it into it's factory settings and I specifically said when selling it, I didn't want to give them a phone with nothing on it. It's all set up with wifi tether and a bunch of other cool things. I'll let the new buy purchase and decide what they want to do. Also, yes if just deleting all the info and not changing my password, but leaving it linked to my google it would indeed sync to my gmail if the new user so chose. I killed to birds by simply changing my gmail password. Of course it wouldn't sync after doing a hard reset, wtf!! geez

Most Rom's let you skip the signing google part, but it wont let you download anything from the market so you can install via adb

Will the new user not therefore be able to use their own Gmail without losing the apps you installed?
How can I edit the gmail account linked to the market? It's a long story but I don't want to whipe my phone and I need to associate a new account with the market...
running 2.2 redemptionrom
without starting over?
try deleting all gmail accounts from the phone. then start with the one you want associated with the market.
no dice, it wont let you remove an account associated with the market

I made the mistake of associating the wrong ID and lost a couple of paid apps. E-Mailed the Market team and they said the only way to change it was a factory reset.

correct. the only way to delete the "primary" gmail account is a factory reset. tough luck. are you rooted? you can back up apps with titanium, wipe, set up the appropriate gmail account, then restore apps. badda bing!
If I want to have push email for my main gmail account do I have to set it up as an Exchange account?
The shortest poll interval I see for any other (ie pop etc) account type is 5min
If then (to preserve battery etc) I want to switch from push to interval email is there any "harm" in using an exchange account-type for a gmail account?
My phone already syncs contacts/market etc with the main account that I have as the exchange account but want to understand the situation a little better
GGGrrrrr! This morning all 4 email settings (1 x echange gmail; 1 x pop3/imap gmail; 2x hotmail) appear to have been deleted from the HTC Mail App.
I cannot add the Exchange on in again as it tells me this account has already been setup.
I tried to delete it from the Account/Sync in Settings but even after saying it is deleting it is still there [albeit syncing nothing].
Anyone suggest how I can sort this? For the time being I have added the main account as a normal gmail account [except of course now it preferentially comes via the Gmail App first!]
No idea why you lost your email settings, I personally would blame Steve Jobs.
In relation to your other issue, I don't really see the point in creating an Exchange account to sync your Gmail account (two pushes will drain your battery faster than just one).
In Settings > Accounts & Sync > Gmail you can set the sync interval for your Gmail account.
Thanks
How can I delete the Exchange account then?
As stated I have tried to get rid of it using the "remove account" in the Settings/Sync area but it is still there.....
Actually I have just googled it and it seems I might been to do a "factory reset" (ie start the build all over again) to get rid of it.
What I need to do first is find out if there is any way to backup my Apps (and their settings - my son would not forgive me for deleting his Angry birds pregress!)
Will search but any tips gratefully received!
No... don't factory reset.
I know you have tried this already but...
Just try again to remove the account via Settings > Accounts and Sync then select your account then look at the bottom of the screen. Do you see 'Remove Account'?
Click it
If not, go to your email program, select the account you want to delete and go into Account Settings and try and delete it from there.
Sorry I wasn't clear
I did do exactly as you said to remove the account: clicking on it in the sync settings and pressing remove (I get the warning abot losing all calendar etc etc)
I did that multiple times.
I even rebooting after doing it (as it was still there) but it is still there and still apparently syncing (green circle still there) even though all sync options were unticked.
If I click on the account (where it gives the option to adjust settings) it justs says error the Mail app has returned an error and asks me to force close (every time)
In the Main app it is not in the Accounts screen do I can't delete it from there (even though when I try to add it again it tells me error the server says this account already exists)
Hence my frustration (over a small matter I grant you but small matters can bev very irritating!)
In that case all I can suggest is:
Make sure that the account in question is not set as default (just in case this prevents you from deleting it). Choose another account and set it as default. Then try deleting.
Failing that, try going into the account settings and delete each of the individual fields and resave the 'blank' account (assuming it allows you - probably won't). If it does, then try to delete it.
I've just tried deleting my account and it worked fine.
As a last ditch attempt, if you have 'Titanium Backup', you could backup the application and data relating to Angry Birds and reinstall it following your hard reset or whatever.
PS Whenever I hard reset, bugger all happens.
I really appreciate your continued help.
Yep sadly it WAS set as the default account but I did make the gmail (non-exchange) account the default account and try again but no difference.
If I can't find any other way I was planning to just delete the data.img file and let it rebuild it but first backup the games files and figured that would reset everything.
I could then restore from Titanium [I have a horrible feeling it will go pear-shaped!]
It would be a PITA to have to d/l all the apps again but even more irritating for the kids to lose their hard-fought game-saves!
In the meantime I got so hacked-off with it all that I have booted back into WinMo!
Ok, we're getting desperate/funky now. Try this...
Make a copy of your data.img.
Boot into Android.
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All Applications and select email.apk
When that opens click on the clear data and clear cache (if they are not greyed out).
Go back into email and see if that has cleared them?
If so, hoo'bloody'ray and reset your email accounts.
Having HTC Wildfire and now want to change Default gmail account being used by all app, mostly Gtalk. I have 5 Gmail accounts on my cell and want to switch between.
The only way i see is to Factory reset phone. By this i guess i will loose all paid apps !
Is there anyone who can help me out without getting my phone Factory Reset !!
Any help will b greatly appreciated !~~
If I understand you correctly you want to delete some of yours accounts and change them...you can do this: go to your mail..press menu..more...Account list-here you can change your accounts
And if you want to delete them...when you change your account go again : mail..press menu..more...settings..at the end you have delete account.
Hope I halp...
Cheers
Oh yea if I halp click thanks.
I had this problem. Accidently signed in to a Gmail account that wasn't my main one, and it was locked to that as primary I'm sure there is something in the system you could delete to revoke the linked account, but the easiest way is to just do a factory reset and/or reflash the ROM.
No you won't lose paid apps, unless you did something silly and bought apps on more than one Google account! Purchases are always locked to that specific gmail address, wiping the phone doesn't matter as soon as u login to market you'll see all the Purchased Items in there, ready to download.
Edit: give me 24 hours, ill see if I can find a way to do it via ADB/DroidExplorer.
