Hi all.
First thing you will need to do is to delete your setup settings, just open up your 'Settings | Applications' tab and delete the data for 'Google Apps'. Now you will be prompted to setup your account for the phone once again but instead of logging with your regular account you will need to make a new one, when the phone has done it's magic (pun inteded) just fire up the market application, everything there?
Now you can delete your new settings and once again you will be prompted to enter your account but now you can use your regular account and hopefully your market will work as it should, mine did.

sadly that did not work for me
Ok, please try this. Do a wipe and flash to another rom (normal cupcake or donut), go into Market and make sure everything is there (might take some time for it to sync). Do a wipe again and flash the Sense rom.
Once the phone boots up, DO NOT log into Google Account using wifi. Skip the initial intro part and go key in your APN settings. Then launch Market and sign into Google from there.
It worked for me and fingers crossed that it will go smoothly from here.

EDIT 15TH AUGUST Android Forum having maintenance done and the linked thread has lost its useful info but basically do what 17mayis says below!
Uv most likely uninstalled something that you shouldnt have? or you may just need some sort of market fix!
Sent from my rooted 026 X10i using swype via XDA!!
the only think i unistalled is moximail thats it.
edit.
fixed my problem
thats what i did
this one requires you to go to the Application Settings (Menu — Settings — Applications — Manage Applications) and clear the data in Google Talk, Google Mail, Market, Google Apps, Download Manager and IM.
then i creat a new googlemail acount and done every thing works fine.
yeah i done this and it worked, tho didnt need to create new account, found this on android forums
i have xperia x10
First back up ur phone numbers
now go on ur pc and log on to ur google mail account
once logged on goto settings
now goto accounts and import
where it says send mail as, switch to @gmail.com (you need to switch ur address to gmail or googlemail )
once you have changed your mail address log out
on your phone goto settings, applications,manage applications and you need to clear cache on the following
google talk, google mail, google apps, market, download manager
turn phone off and on again and goto google talk and log on ur new google address(@gmail.com) once you have done this try downloading a app from market( if you have apps downloading pending cancel and restart.
this is what i did and it worked for me, no factory reset needed
hope it works good luck
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.
I have a Facebook account in "My Accounts" on my Droid X but it does not have a username. The field is blank. When I select remove account, it does nothing. Then when I click OK, it states that the username must not be blandPassword must be at least {1} characters. Also, when I try to add another facebook account with my correct email address, it won't let me stating that I can only have one account. What is the cleanest way to fix this? Do I have to factory reset my Droid? I have clockwork mod installed and it's rooted. Do I need to clear data and cache?
hey man you have sbf or i did. i did a reset and it didnt do anything so i did sbf and back again like new
Don't have an SBF. I was hoping to find a way to remove the account a little less intrusive. I'm not opposed to using an SBF but I'm not sure how to find a clean one. I'm on Verizon Ver 2.2

Uninstall the app.
Go into the android settings > accounts. Delete the facebook account.
Reboot.
If you want to add facebook back in, make sure you uncheck the "sync" box when you set it up, next time.
/If that fails, try doing a factor reset. Settings > Privacy > Factory Reset. You'll lose all of your settings and start from scratch this way, so make sure you back up anything you're concerned about.
Many thanks. The factory Reset did fix the problem. After the factory reset, the market downloaded all my apps again. My contacts were all there, not sure if they didn't get cleared or were just recovered from the Verizon Contacts backup. The bad facebook account is gone. Everything is cool again in Android land. Couldn't have been easier, you just have to know who to ask. Thanks again.
Hello,
When i first opened the phone, i used a gmail account to update phone. But now, i want to delete this email because i added a new gmail account and i cant make this email as main account. When i try this, it says " The phone needs that email, if you want to disable this email, reset phone and every data will be deleted."
Is there any way to disable this first email without losing any data?
To my knowledge, it's not possible. The setup requires an account to backup all the apps downloaded of the market, contacts, calendar, email etc...You can stop it from syncing with that particular account, but it CANNOT be removed as such.
The only way to get rid of it is to factory reset/wipe the phone and start fresh with the desired account. It's a bit annoying, but I understand why it does that...

Ah, you want to change gmail accounts, from the old to "new" as primary?
Well first thing you need to do is this.
1. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
2. Click on Gmail in the list and, if needed, "Force Stop" then "Clear data"
3. Click on Google Apps in the list and, if needed, "Force Stop" it, but DO NOT clear data
4. Click on "Clear Data" on Gmail Storage
5. Exit back to the phone's Home and open the Gmail app
6. Re-enter your Google account info.
This should work and hope it does !
cirnocirno i did that but i think it did not change the main account because for example when i try to backup sms on go sms pro, i am supposed to send to this old email from new email.
How can i understand if it is main email or not?
Look, i am trying to download applications from desktop pc from market via this new email but it says there is no mobile connected to this email. How i can change that?

What that I posted up did was wipe the gmail account handler allowing you to change primary email. Myself I did this with my old android phone because I messed up with my old email and had lots of spam and such. So I didn't like that
I have no idea why it doesn't work for you.
Another thing which my friend in rl said you could try is this.
It was simple enough though.
1. Make sure Marketplace is not open.
2. Setting > Application > Manage Application > Clear Data from Google Apps
3. Open Marketplace, it should prompt you to login with your gmail username and password.
Worst case, factory reset. I am sad that google haven't implemented away to change these kind of things, it's as stupid as forcing notification sounds through the speakers and not with the active output(headset/headphones).
Primary email was changed but for android market , it was not changed.
I did what you told in your last post but now i cant open market. I restarted phone but still it was not opened. It says error, try again later. What happened?
Ok now i can open market. When i first opened, it did not ask me to prompt with a email.
If i backup everything, and then reset; then restore again, my phone, my applications my sms, etc will be the same as now?

if you backup all things and restore they should be normally. If the backup application you use do it so. Myself I don't backup as most things are not worth
I just rooted and installed the market, however I setup the wrong account - how do I change the account? Do I need to remove the market or google framework?
...
try clearing the cache and data or logout of gmail if you have setup one, or rerun the wizard which runs when you firstly install gapps. I have done it before but i really don't remember how
keep us posted
change account
You can change your account info from the settings. Go to setting and go to the accounts add the correct account and then remove the account that you no longer need. At that point you may want to clear the cache and data from the market app in your manage applications settings.
settings and accounts from the market? I know most android devices it's under the main settings, but not the fire. I haven't setup gmail yet, I need the account for the whole device.
The easiest way to change accounts is to go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Gmail and clear all data. I also did it for gTalk and all other Google related apps. This created a notification that I needed to redo the setup wizard with a link in the notification to start it. This fixed everything and didn't have to worry about a hard-reset.
Worked on my old Desire
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
No settings in the market, or in the main settings (like other android devices). So if install gmail, that should let me delete the account? I'm wondering if un-installing google framework might do it?
Got it to reset by uninstalling google framework and the market, then re-installing.
