Hi,
im new to this forum, and i just bought a G1....its unlocked so im not using it on tmobile.....I wanted to know how to change the gmail account that's setup on the phone already....i know i can hard reset the phone and change it that way...but the problem with doing it that way is i dont think ill be able to connect to the internet through the phone because the settings on the phone aren't set to my service provider (which i dont know the settings to).....i've also tried running the Any Cut program, and then running the setup wizard through that while connected to wi-fi.....it said the phone has been set up but it didnt change the account to mine.....any ideas???
Clear app data from Google Apps.

i actually tried this too before but i didnt clear the IM account info so thats probably why it didnt work the first time....ill try it out and see what happens
Hey guys,
I have no idea what happened but since yesterday I lost my ability to connect to wifi networks.
I have tried turning wifi on/off, turning the whole phone off and on as well. I went into the wireless controls -> wifi settings and checked/unchecked the "network notification" option, nothing...
I did the new hero firmware update via the HTC Poland site about a week ago since it took my serial number just fine (thought so since my unbranded phone came with eastern European countries listed in the locale and language settings) and everything was fast, nice and dandy until this happened.
Any ideas why? What can I do to try and fix it? Hopefully it didn't die forever (HW failure)
Helpppp! I also tried using a 3rd app program like wifi buddy and wifi analyzer (I already had them installed) but they don't see anything, no networks. Uninstalled wifi buddy since I installed that after the 2.73 update and thought it might be conflicting somehow with the build in stuff but still nothing.
Help please!
Hi,
I have the same problem since yesterday night.
Absolutely the same (Hero, new ROM installed one week ago...)
Strange. I hope, this is not a scheduled hardware failure. :-D
Regards,

Are you able to turn the Wifi on? I had similar problem.
Yes, I can turn the wifi on, the toggle shows it on, and in the settings seems to work, but this can't find any wifi network, and there isn't any wifi indicator icon on the status bar. Meantime i am using my netbook on my wifi network, so I have a network, and I have tried it in my office, with the same outcome.
So I am very disappointed. It was very good in the last 3-4 weeks.

Did you do hard reset? Try it
try to install drizzy/modaco firmware..
or maybe hard reset also
Same issue. Used Modaco 2 ROM. No hard reset yet.
same problem
I had the same problem. A few days after ROM upgrade (Orange) I could not detect wifi signals. I also had installed wifi buddy and something called Y5. Even after uninstalling these programs the wifi did not detect.
After a factory reset it seems to work OK for now!!
After same issue I have take it back to the shop. They flashed it again with the new ROM, wipe my data, and so on (okay, a have made some backup).
After it, my wifi was working again, but I could not use mobil internet. Same issue as with wifi before.
After this I have reboot the Hero, then it did not boot anymore.
It stucks in the HTC logo and not continue booting.
So tomorrow I will take it back to shop again, and I will try to change it to a new one. I think it is a hardware failure.

Damn.... hard reset?
Is a hard reset the same as doing a factory restore using the option in the phone settings?
I guess this is just like doing a new firmware update, backup contacts and programs with mybackup but still having to re-do the home screens (all 7) and re-apply FB pics to contacts, etc.
This suxxxx
I really hope this isn't a hardware failure that is going to keep on happening. I think it is going to be related to the new firmware update if anything..
Cause before the update (performed 2 weeks ago) I was using the firmware that the phone brought and it was working perfectly on many different wifi networks all the time... this was for about a month or two...

Why not sync your contacts with google?

Because I have 1527 contacts in google contacts (basically everyone I've ever emailed for some reason... guess google auto adds them) and I don't want those to pass over to the phone... so I disabled the auto sync on contacts at the initial setup and just left it for gmail and calendar.
I had the same prob with my HTC Pro and winMO + MSN... it imported all my hundreds of msn contact to my phone contact list and it sucked!
Unless there is a specific subgroup in google contacts or way to make it so it only syncs/reads the ones I want it to?
K for your contacts, go to people app groups tab create a group called phone. Add your contacts to this group then go back to the group tab press menu then 'sync groups' make sure only phone is checked. Enable contact sync and your away.

Ok I went into the "All contacts" menu and then into the "Groups" tabs by using the bottom sliding menu. I then clicked on "add group" and created the group called HTC Hero. I went into the group , clicked menu button on the phone then clicked on the "Edit" option that popped up and it gave me the option to "add contact to group" so I added 62 contacts.
Now I'm stuck there... I've checked in the "all contacts" menu, the "Groups" tab, the "HTC Hero" group I created and hit the menu button on all of them but I get nothing that says "sync groups" or gives me the option to select which groups to sync.
The only thing I can ever find is by just going into the sync settings and having the gmail, calender and contacts "autc sync" checkmark.
Help
It is easier than that.
Go into People, and then Groups. Press "Menu" and the "Sync Groups". I've never set up any groups, so I'm presented with two "default" groups:
1. Sync all contacts
2. My contacts
Ensure that only "My Contacts" is ticked and you should be good to go, as "My Contacts" only includes people you've explicitly set up as a contact, as opposed to everyone you've emailed or received email from.
Regards,
Dave
EDIT: I just noticed that you said you don't ever see the "Sync Groups" options. Possibly this is because you did not select the option to sync contacts when you initially set up the phone. Assuming you've a custom recovery image, I'd be inclined to make a nandroid backup and try wiping the phone and setting it up from scratch again - at least the initial stages to see if you can get "Sync Groups" to appear. If it doesn't do anything, you can restore your backup.

Yup... maybe that's it.
Ok so to do a nandroid backup, do I need to root it? Cause I haven't done that.

I had a similar problem after upgrading to the latest MoDoCo release. I tried everything bar hard reset. Lastly I removed the wifi networks that were listed in Wifi Settings and it fixed the issue. I later found out that whenever a BTOpenzone hotspot was remembered in my list of networks wifi would stop working, if I remove that hotspot wifi starts working again. No idea why.
Hope this can be of some help.

Holy hell... you got it!
So it looks like this is a bug of some sorts. I remember that the last wifi network I remembered was one off an APPLE airport or whatever device they use to share wireless connections... so that must have been it. If not maybe it was one in Bennigans (yes, it still exists down here in Panama).

Yeah, It works for me! Just delete remembered wifi connections and it will turn on! Thanks a lot, mate
Periodically throughout the day my HD2 will automatically and by itself make a data connection, which then stays open until I disconnect it. Initially, I thought it was the Weather or Stock tab, and I've disabled the automatic update for those; in fact, I don't even use the HTC Sense Today plug-in. I can't figure out what other app(s) may be making their own connection, so am appealing to the pros here with any suggestions.
Thanks much,
James.
got your phone linked to your facebook account? how about the twitter tab? email accounts? internet time sync?
go to settings tab, and tap 'data services', and have a look through the options there.
Thanks for the tip, looks like the time was set up to sync over the Internet. Didn't see it because I wasn't using HTC Sense. I think it likely that was the cause as nothing else was connecting automatically. If the trouble continues, I'll post a follow-up, but I think it's likely solved.
Thanks much,
James.
just got my DI today and can't seem to get onto the marketplace, keeps saying a server error has occurred but i can still browse the net and stuff. anyone experience this and know why its doing it or how to fix it, i am using the 3g connection not the wifi, TIA
it did it to me once... I just restarted the phone and it reconnected to the 3g signal and it has been fine since... I think it happens when it drops 3g and tries to connect to the non 3g signal for data
tried that it was a no go, thxs for replying though i am going to run by a verizon store and see if they can figure it out!
had something to do with my email had to create another one to use for getting into marketplace, just fyi
Was your email a gmail? I created a gmail just to sync my contacts to this phone from my exchange server

Try going to: settings - applications - manage applications - market, then press uninstall updates and clear cache. Reset your phone and the Market should update itself.
That SHOULD get you straight. I'll try and find a link to where I read this first for you.
Edit: Here's that link - http://www.droidninja.com/2010/05/12/android-market-acting-up-try-this/
Thxs everybody, I just created a new email for downloading from marketplace and all is good, thanks for the input
I've been trying to add a second google mail account to my phone today. I've gone into 'Google Mail' app, add account, which I already have, and complete the details. I have good wifi signal and can stream videos from youtube very smoothly. I have Vodafone H coverage.... however it comes up saying temporay problem, you have no network connection. I've rebooted the handset, same problem.
Give I have Wifi and H mobile coverage I wonder if you can actually add a second account ? It says you can but has anyone managed to do it yet ? I can login from a PC to my second account ok.
PS I'm using the stock firmware from Vodafone.
once into the Gmail app .
press the menu key and that wil open the "Menu"
on the right side of that menu , there will be "accounts".
Click on that and put in the correct name and password for your 2nd gmail account .
Cheers

Im not sure m8 what to do , wait for someone else .

I've tested from work this morning, we have a Vodafone transponder in the building as they are the corporate network. We get very good and fast coverage, it still says its temp fault, unstable connection vague message. I've got a good very fast connection, somethings wrong with the app imo.
My first account is gmail and second is googlemail, I can't see that causing a problem. I can log into both via the internet browser fine :-\
It's been confirmed by other users on the Vofafone UK eForum the 2nd email option in Gmail isn't working. It seems the last firmware update broke the feature :|
I have the same problem.
Primary account is google apps.
Have also a gmail
When I try to log in to my third (apps) I get the timeout....
Have no idea what to do..
Confirmed here. Either on WiFi or 3g I'm getting network error while trying to setup second gmail account. First one is Google apps.

Simonq

Anyone?
Have no clue to fix this..
You need to reset your phone to factory defaults and then reconfigure all Google accounts.
It has solved problem on my legend.

There is a workaround that has worked for some people, not including me with this same problem.. Download youtube from market by google, login to it with your second email account.. Hope that works for you, google needs to fix this right now, RESETTING your phone should NOT be an option, not even in the 1980's would this be acceptable.. Google should not be allowed in cell phones if their software did not make the advance in technology that many of us call "reconfiguration"
No problems here using 2 Google Accounts (no stock ROM though, I'm using CM 7 - Gingerbread right now but was the same with CM 6.1 before)
I did the setup through other way...instead of setting it in Gmail, go to phone Settings - Accounts & Sync and setup there the two accounts. My primary one is a Google Apps account configured to sync contacts, mail, notes and calendar and the second one is my personal account (the one set also for Google Checkout) where I've set to sync only mail. When going to Gmail apps I have both accounts there and I can send/receive from both
