Hi Guys and Girls,
This is my first HTC device and im loving it so far, being a long user for wimo devices, recently come from an omnia i8000, huge improvement going to the HTC, i wont look back.
Has anyone expericened missing email accounts? it still seems to be in the list but its hidden? i can create a new account with a different account name, and it works but is there any fix?
Thanks for your help
Bj,
I experienced the same problem today. However, I noticed that the mail settings had disappeared in addition to the accounts no longer showing up.
The only way I was able to solve the problem was by deleting the mailboxes and re-creating them.
Hopefully there is a better solution found in case this happens again.
Same thing happened to me just yesterday, wonder what's the cause.
Anyway I had the settings backed up to a cab as described here so a reinstall of that set them back up in seconds.
Have the same problem, but my internet settings was lost to...
Any fix for this other than the obe above?
//Johan
I had same misterious problem two times, and I didn't understand why...
:-(
Even I've had the same problem twice..and in addition to losing the email accounts, all my apps which required login like facebook, fring, etc stopped remembering usernames and passwords. Even if I selected save password, it kept asking me everytime is started the app.
The first time it happened i did not notice why, but the second time it happed immediately after a soft reset done using BSB Tweaks after making some changes in it.
I have removed BSB Tweaks for the time being, so will wait and see if it happens again.
the email problem can be solved by going to email- tab --> menu --> account settings (may have another name) --> choose your disappered account. you will notice some of your settins are lost, in my case the mail servers and the username. type in the missing information, and hit 'done', your email acc will be visible again.
Missing Accounts
Same problem after I installed the newest firmware in June. Never happened before, since then TWICE, so it must be the issue of the new FW. Sorry wergor, the solution you offer sucks. Doesn't solve the cause!

Hey,
I found a solution to this problem that I think works. The first time this happened my email accounts disappeared and all of my logins for other things (facebook, etc) also stopped working. This just happened again with no recent mods to the phone, and the only add-on I have is C00kie's Home Tabs (which I didn't have the first time).
The first time I used all the missing settings as an opportunity to upgrade my software. This time I'm on the road and I don't have time to fool with it. Happily I did figure out a way to resurrect the vanished accounts.
As you stated, if you try to recreate the settings, the system will tell you that the account exists, forcing you to create the same settings with a different name. You can probably find your original settings by doing the following:
Go to the settings tab. (Scroll left from your home)
Choose "Data Services"
Scroll down to "E-Mail"
Here you should see whatever accounts you created, even if they don't show up in your email tab proper. Select them and update your passwords (if they're missing, mine were). Everything should look normal.
As I said, I'm on data roam and I couldn't get my OTA download to work where I am. Hopefully when I get back I'll know for sure. Give it a try and I hope it helps you.
Dan
Dan.S - yes, it works, thanks so much. ;-)
It works
Yes, works. In same time, I lost my ability to connect to Facebook. Whenever I try to input name (email) and password, I get instant answer that there is problem with connection. Maybe password also lost. No idea where to find solution.

thank you Dan,it worked for me...
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?
Hi i bought a tmobile hd2 and unlocked it and I'm currently using it on AT&T network. I already did the MMS settings and all that but the phone is connecting online on its own. I would have the phone in my pocket or just on the table and when i pick it up to use it ill find it connected. I already downloaded No Data program. But I didn't disable Media net coz I can't send or receive MMS without it. The phone shouldn't connect online on its own (it does only when MMS is being sent or received). I'm running stock ROM. Can anyone help me plz figure this out.

Did you go into the weather settings and uncheck for it to download automaticlly?
There's a bunch of different apps/processes on this phone that will auto-update and turn on the data connection whenever they're set to. Weather, twitter, stocks, etc, plus anything you might have installed since with auto-updating. For example, Google Latitude can login to update your position even if you're not actively using google maps.
I found out that when i go to data services, facebook is set to ON. so do u think thats whats causing it to connect? when it connects it will stay connected till i manually discconect it. Do u think if i go back and enable media net from No Data it will start connecting again? The reason I had it on coz I synced my contacts with their facebook profiles to ge their facebook pics as contact pics.

Yup that is most likely your problem. Go into the settings for your FB updates and uncheck the option to update automaticly.
thx for the tip
My uncle also bought himself a Wildfire, set it up and everything went fine.
So we went ahead, made a WiFi connection, and tried to download something from the market, this is where things went bad.
I know you need to log in with your gmail account, as I own a wildfire myself and everything went flawlessly there.
Somehow neither his gmail account, nor mine, works as a login and it just returns a 'Service unavailable'. So we thought it might be the wifi connection and tried at my place.
There it didnt work either.. Im stunned, mine just worked out of the box, nothing to set up only login etc. and I just dont know what to do anymore.
I hope anyone can help!

Try a reset to factory defaults by using the clear storage option in settings and see how that goes.

Will try that as soon as I see him.
In the meantime, if anyone has any alternatives, please post!
You can try Apktor.
If the Wildfire is in a non-english language, try changing it to english (in settings), go into market just for one time to accept the market terms of use. And if that works, you can switch back to the lang you used before.
Thanks for all the advices! Ill keep them in mind when facing a similar problem!
However, doing a factory reset sorted out everything just fine.
Hello guys
I've been trying few builds of android and install apps from the market.
When switching to a new build, I link my phone with a googlemail account so all the contacts are restored.
Unfortunately also ALL the apps are sync, downloded and installed aswell from the market, without asking me anything. I do not want this to happen.
This happen everytime, no matter whichever build I was using.
Searched first in google, then in xda but didn't find anything. Does it happen only to me? xD
has anyone got a solution?
thx
I don't know how to get rid of this problem, but it's normal, so you're not the only one. The apps you have downloaded in the market are safed in your google account, because some people have purchased apps and don't want to buy them again..
ok
fair enough then.. cheers
Hmm.. Maybe there is a solution. I never tried, but it may work.
After setting up your phone (the first thing you have to do when you boot a new build) go at first to settings > Accounts & synchronization. Sorry dunno how it's spelled in Englisch, using my phone in German There go to your Google Account and remove the ticks at contacts, mail and calendar. Then go to your market and accept the license agreement.
It could be that the market now doesn't install your apps because you don't sync your google account anymore. But if you're using this account for mail and so on this is no option, will see if I find another possibility.
Edit: Found another solution that worked for other users. In a German forum they told you have to skip the setup at the beginning, go directly to settings > SD-Card & Telephone Memory (something like that) and do a factory reset. Then boot again and the market won't install anything. If this doesn't work try to set up your phone at the beginning and do a factory reset then.
That's all I've found. Now I'm out. Tell me if it worked
Cheers

I realised that it only installs the programs that you had installed in the last build.
Therefore all the apps I removed won't sync..
I probably had a bug in my last build that blocked google to complete sync.. damn xD
However my internet is not that fast as I live in the middle of farms & field, so I'm gonna download all the .apk from internet; then I will put them in the folder Android Apps and the new build just install them on the first boot.
But thanks for your research, I may use it later on.. you never know.
Cheers

turn off Google backup, in settings as well as when FIRST setting up Android after hitting the Android on the first screen. One of the few first things is Google Backup, for apps and bookmarks. Disable this.
