If you mess up enough it'll ask for your gmail password to log in then you can judt reset it and you're good to go.
First post lol back to lurking I go

THIS. I mean i don't see the big deal really if you just have to enter your gmail name and pass. Unless it's stolen or something.
the reason why i asked to do without gmail account is becuase i dont have a data plan.. n for gmail account u needa data plan...
if you got your wifi running it could work throught there if im not mistaken...
what about doing a wipe?
OK, i have done this myself
Yes you need to enter in your gmail username and password but you dont need to be connected to the internet.
The phone must have a cached copy of your credentials on the phone.
get it wrong about 5 times and then enter your username and password
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?
Help me out here. All of a sudden a popup cam up saying "Sign-in error for *my e-mail*" I tried entering the correct password but it thinks for a bit than tells me the same thing. Ive tried on wifi and over 3g but same thing. Im getting email just fine on my computer and all is working.
Can someone help me out, worse case is ill reflash and see if that work (or just reload my backup) but I was wondering why this may happen. Its really annyoing cause it deleted all of my contacts and now I cant do anything with my phone without knowing someones number.
TIA
Have you recently enabled 2-step verification on your Google account? If so you need to generate a specific password for your SGS2.

I have not, but now that you mention it, thats not a bad idea to enable.
Either way I think I solved it. I went into the market and reentered my info and it seemed to work fine. Not sure why it did not work in the pop-up error but never the less it should be working.
Thanks for the tip
Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue here. I've had issues recently with Gmail syncing so I went in and cleared out the application data to get to sync again, which worked. But now any e-mail, where the from field has 's in it, like Papa John's. It instead is showing Papa John's. I've tried clearing cache and dalvik cache on my device and clearing the application data from gmail again but it still shows up. Of course the from field shows up fine on gmail.com. I'm on the Gingerbread stock ROM from x99. Trying to see if anyone has any options before I do a factory reset, thanks .

Have you updated to the newest GMail app? There is a 2.3.5.2 GMail app. I'm not sure if this would work on the stock Gingerbread ROM though.
Yup already on the latest version of gmail.

Go to manage applications -> gmail -> force stop -> clear cache and reopen gmail.
Also try changing the sync time from 4 days to 3 days and run a sync from acounts -> sync -> google -> menu -> "sync now".
If that doesn't work, force stop again, clear cache and clear data and try.
If that doesn't work try running fix permissions from ROM Manager. If that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling GMail.
If that doesn't work try installing the old 2.3.5 version.
I've had it where I was on a call and hit send on an email and gmail would get stuck on "sending.." for that message and couldn't do anything with it. First 2 steps was the only real way to get around it. I wasn't even able to open the message in my outbox and save it as a draft.
Let me know if that helps.
Well I tried all of your suggestions man and still the same thing is happening. I even went as far as to do a factory reset and setup my gmail account and the same thing happened. At this point I'm thinking it must not have anything to do with my phone huh?

Probably. Could you please describe the problem more? Is the phone not adding 's after certain words? screen shot? something?
Well the only place that the 's isn't showing up correctly is in the From field. Everywhere else in the e-mail it'll show up fine. And the only e-mails I get so far with 's in the from field is Papa John's or Wendy's. So instead they'll show up as Papa John's or Wendy's. And when you click on the e-mail, where the from shows up in green it'll look the same.

Please re-read your post and post a screenshot from your phone AND your computer.
If running CM7 just hold the power button to take a screenshot and upload it to imgur.com because I have no idea what you are saying right now.
Hey VICODAN, actually don't worry about it man. I found a thread on the google mobile help forums and it seems google is looking into the issue.

There's a link that explains what it looks like, but like I said don't worry about it, thanks for your assistance .

Having an apostrophe in an email address is just bad news.
LOL
Lol, yea it's not exactly a make or break situation for me but I hadn't seen anywhere else about it until I saw that
I have a problem... i recently received an ota and decided to install it, but had forgotten to export my contacts that were stored on my phone to my sd card, but from personal experience, i've never lost any contacts due to an update. and unfortunately, i didnt upload my contacts to tmobile or gmail. is there any way i can restore my contacts from the phone memory somehow? is there some sort of program or anything i can do? i figured the contacts were probably stored in some sort of temp area on the phone and could still be accessed and restored before it's lost forever. please guys and girls, i need your expertise!!!
I don't think so, & I am just curious. Surely you have synced your contacts on gmail or tmobile at some point in the last month or so? I know u said u didn't b4 the update but haven't you ever?

The contacts save to Gmail automatically. So simply just signing in to Gmail should bring everything back. Unless you chose to save them to the phone. Which you might still be able to retrieve them by going to the T-Mobile website, logging in and going to manage account then contacts.

That's what I was thinking. The only way they wouldn't, is if you disabled auto-sync.

i forgot to mention, i didn't back up to gmail or tmobile because the phone was out of the states using a sim card that did not have internet service nor was it connected to wifi for it to have backed up to either... am i really screwed? plz somebody save mee!!!! ((((( i thought it would be a similar concept to how you can technically restore music from a wiped ipod just because it's saved to some sort of temp thing... no software out there that can be used to dig in to the phone and restore that which had been deleted? the saddest part is that i didn't even delete the numbers myself. that stupid software update ruined everything.

Sorry, if there was no back up of any kind then you're royally screwed. You have no way to get any of them numbers back.
But just in case, go into your contacts app and press menu. You will see where it says import/export. Click on it and import from phone. If you're lucky, when you click on import from phone, you will see numbers. If no numbers show up then, like I said, sorry but you're screwed.
