So I decided to delete my g-mail acct. I never ever use it... I have another email acct that is my primary...
anywho, so I tried to go onto the Market & it says my password is invalid for the gmail acct that I signed up with. It doesnt exist any longer & theres no way to change it that i've found on the Market to another email or something.
what to do?? I've searched and i havent found a solution.
BASICALLY- what i need to know is how do i get back onto Market?
I guess the easiest way would be to set up your phone with a different gmail account. But you will still lose the apps you paid for.
You could try emailing android market support or Google checkout support. They can transfer your purchases to a different account. Not sure if they would be willing to though.
Yeah, when I switched to CM6, the email I thought I used previously wouldn't work so I created another. Turns out that I misspelled the first email I created, which is why I kept getting it wrong. When I installed CM6, I ended up just creating another account for the market. Now I have two gmail accounts on my phone and neither are my usual usernames. When I go to settings > accounts & sync it won't let me delete them. I pretty much have to have both emails on my phone so I can keep my apps anyway. It just sucks that both emails' login info is something that I will never remember off the top of my head.

Google are giving the option for existing users change their address from *@googlemail.com to *@gmail.com and all new users will receive a gmail account instead.
I think It may be limited to the UK.
Welcome to Gmail! As of May 3, 2010, Google's email service is changing its name to Gmail in the United Kingdom. From now on, anybody who signs up for a new Gmail account in the UK will get an @gmail.com address instead of @googlemail.com. The good news is that "gmail" is 50% fewer characters than "googlemail," and with so much emailing going on these days, we estimate this name change will save something like 60 million keystrokes a day. At approximately 217 microjoules per keystroke, that's about the energy of 20 bonbons saved every day!

While all emails are forwarded from googlemail to gmail I was wondering what would happen to my phone. As it turns out, it's completely messed up
My (google) apps don't work now, and there's no option to change my account setting individually. I get a sign-in error with google talk.
Would it be better for me to just hard reset my phone, or does adding my gmail (and deleting my googlemail) syncing account do the same thing? (in settings > accounts & sync)
You will unfortunately have to do a factory reset as you cannot remove your main google account. The 'backup settings' option should remember and download all your apps and remember wifi settings, but you will lose all sms\mms and call logs.
On the plus side Picasa sync will now work
ahh ok, there's probably an update for my ROM anyway
Thanks.
Or you can just go back to @googlemail.com for a while and see if Google sort something out.
Here's hoping we get a "Gmail" icon on the phone instead of an abridged "Google M..."

You can change icon names with Any Cut from the market. It's free.
I'm kinda confused with this thread... Is this a UK only thing? I've had [email protected] for years now (since early beta) and on my nexus one the shortcut is named "Gmail".
Not just UK, some other parts of Europe too I believe.
ive just changed mine and i can still access the market ok.
i did get the google talk error tho.
once cyan 5.0.7 is rls'd ill do a full wipe and change my main account to @gmail.

They started with Gmail, but another company was using gmail also so they changed it to googlemail... or so I heard. (Existing Gmail users were allowed to keep Gmail but new users got a googlemail account.) I guess the company went bust or Google bought them out
That's what I heard anyway.
Maybe it's just a UK/Euro thing...
I'm running Gmail 2.3, it came with the Evo I bought this week.
Anyone else seeing the problem of Gmail getting stuck on ONE email?
For instance, I can see a list of emails, but whichever email I try to select, it will always show only one particular email. And pressing the left right navigation arrows at the bottom of the email still shows the same email.
Gmail been flakey on all phones this week. Thought google fixed that.
8pen from my supersonic on the xda app.
I don't get this issue, but many times after clearing my inbox in the app it still looks like I have new emails when I don't. The number of new emails doesn't go back to zero till I login via gmail.com or wait for a new email to come in.
Gmail has always been like this for me though.
Last year I learned how to include a push feature Google offers on the iPhone, and I set it up there, yes the push worked. Until then I got the Evo in June and used Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync instead of the gmail app.
If you want a true sync, then u can get it set up in MS Exchange by entering your username and password, then click on manual setup, from there, when u see the server box which says gmail.com, you will need to change that to m.Google.com then click next, choose which u want synced then ur good to go.
P.S. screw the gmail app, I prefer the HTC mail app though, has user friendly UI and the ability to multi select files to be movedto another folder or deleted...I tried moving files on gmail and don't see that feature implemented on the gmail app, unless I missed it.
I deleted the data for GMail within Settings Applications and everything was okay again after the resync.
Man.... I have never had any issues you guys write on here, I must be extremely lucky *knocks on wood*
No issues here

I was having issues with the sync yesterday as well. Clearing the data like you said fixed it. Thank you!
This doesn't help I'm just stating my personal experience:
I have never had issues with Gmail app other than trying to save attachments as posted. Other than that it has always been solid. If Google has server issues it wont matter what app you use.
Earlier today I decided to try out an alternative version of Email.apk, so I backed up the original version of that file, installed the newer version...which proceeded to FC...and then rebooted and restored the original version. Now I can't seem to access information on my corporate Exchange server which was my only account in Email (I also have a Gmail account, but I use the Gmail app for that).
I've tried clearing settings for Email, Calendar (and storage), Contacts (and storage), and Google Services Framework, deleting and recreating the account repeatedly, rebooting after each attempt, etc., but still no luck. Basically it lets me add the account after successfully connecting to the Exchange server, but then it doesn't download email and it doesn't see any calendars or contacts. I know the problem isn't with the Exchange server because all of my other clients (Outlook, OWA, iPhone, etc.) still work fine.
It seems as if there's some kind of cruft floating around from before that's not quite enough to allow Email to work properly, but enough to keep it from properly recreating the account. Is there a particular app database I need to clear/flush in order to recreate this account?
Thanks much for any help!!!
A little research led me to this issue with Android 2.3.3 that seems to be similar if not the same:
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=15356
Looks like it's been fixed in 2.3.4. Assuming that the patch in the middle of that thread is the actual fix, it doesn't look like it should be that hard to integrate into CM7, though I've never done a build of Android/CM7 so I don't know enough to comment. Any thoughts?
From time to time I'll root a Nook Color for a friend (CM7). Right now I've got a NC to root as a surprise gift for a person who already has a Gmail account he'll want to use with it (I don't have his password).
Question -- Suppose I use an "extra" Gmail account of mine to access Market and install apps on the NC, then send the NC to his wife, who gives it to him. Can he then add his own Gmail account, delete mine and then use it normally or would the apps and setup I do be erased?
I tried this on my own NC just now. I added a second Gmail account and set up that account to sync. Then I tried to delete my original account. The error message said my original Gmail account couldn't be deleted because there were apps tied to it so I'd have to reset the whole devise to get rid of it. I assume that would undo much of the work I want done before I send the Nook off.
I believe, but don't KNOW, that I can't delete my original Gmail account because there are PAID apps tied to it. If that's the problem I'll be OK because I can set up the gift NC with only free apps. Does anybody have any good answers to this? I don't want to send a noob a Nook and then find out he couldn't easily use it because of Gmail issues.
This is my first android device and I was wondering if anyone has a solution for multiple users. I don't want anyone to be able to access my email or just freely buy things through the tablet itself using my account.
I have already signed into my gmail account without thinking about it, because it is required to do most things with the tablet. This then pulled up all my emails. Since this tablet will be used by several people, I deleted the account. Should I just make a new dummy google account specifically for the tablet? Since I already signed into my account, they have sent my $25 to my email. Now I don't believe I can transfer it, but I'm curious if I can add my email account when I want to buy/install something, then delete the account and put it back to the dummy account while still being able to use whatever app I bought?
I just don't want to test these things out myself causing some other issue to popup (eg use my play credit, but apps/games/etc can't be used on another account).
