Having HTC Wildfire and now want to change Default gmail account being used by all app, mostly Gtalk. I have 5 Gmail accounts on my cell and want to switch between.
The only way i see is to Factory reset phone. By this i guess i will loose all paid apps !
Is there anyone who can help me out without getting my phone Factory Reset !!
Any help will b greatly appreciated !~~
If I understand you correctly you want to delete some of yours accounts and change them...you can do this: go to your mail..press menu..more...Account list-here you can change your accounts
And if you want to delete them...when you change your account go again : mail..press menu..more...settings..at the end you have delete account.
Hope I halp...
Cheers
Oh yea if I halp click thanks.
I had this problem. Accidently signed in to a Gmail account that wasn't my main one, and it was locked to that as primary I'm sure there is something in the system you could delete to revoke the linked account, but the easiest way is to just do a factory reset and/or reflash the ROM.
No you won't lose paid apps, unless you did something silly and bought apps on more than one Google account! Purchases are always locked to that specific gmail address, wiping the phone doesn't matter as soon as u login to market you'll see all the Purchased Items in there, ready to download.
Edit: give me 24 hours, ill see if I can find a way to do it via ADB/DroidExplorer.

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?
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.
I spent the last couple of days setting up my new phone exactly as I want it, installed lag fix, rooted it, installed all of the apps I needed and am good to go.
Thing is, I used a Gmail account that I don't want to use any more, as I also have a Google Apps account, which has all of my contacts. The Gmail one is just confusing everything.
I have tried removing the Gmail account with the whole 'manage accounts' routine but it doesn't seem to work with Froyo.
The next thing is a factory reset which I am very reluctant to do. I dont want to lose all the rooting, performance fix settings, nor do I want to sit here installing and configuring everything from the beginning.
Would using Titanium backup help if I did a factory restore, or will it just restore the Google account that I want removed?
Anybody?

Pretty sure this could be found quicker if you'd have just done a quick search here or on Google.
Anyway, menu-settings-applications-manage applications-all-gmail-clear data. If that doesn't work try google services framework from that same menu.
I changed the password on my Gmail account. Now I need to do the same in my Tab account but have not been able to figure out so far how to do it. I am not talking about email clients but the Tab Accounts and sync where all the accounts are listed.
I tried removing the account in order to recreate but the Tab tells me that it is required by some applications and that I can remove it only by a factory resett which I am avoiding to do. Even if I tied read here about someone trying to unsuccessfuly do that as well.
Is there any way to change the password for the Gmail account on the Tab?
I had the same exact issue and had no way around it but to reset the tab. Make sure you have a good data+apps backup

Put in another sim card and it will ask for the password.
my gmail account has been disabled.
is there a way, aside from factory resetting, to remove my origional setup gmail account?
settings>accounts and sync>account you want to remove>remove
Settings> Accounts and sync
Remove your old Google account and add the new one.
I know it doesn't help you but I have to ask,
How did you manage to get your gmail account suspended?

Midget porn.
I have NO idea how or why it would happen. I have been reading that using file sharing has been known to cause this, I use Samba constantly if that counts.
I cannot delete the account through the settings menu as it was the account used to set up my phone, Its saying I have to factory reset...and I really dont want to do that.
No midget porn either...what gives!?
You have to have a second account on the phone before you can delete the original.
I have 3 accounts synced , and it still is saying that I have to factory reset to remove the account linked to the market (and everything else)
Do I really need to lose my paid market apps AND all my phone data?
I am running bonsai and I do have titanium backups of everything...but I factory reset...bonsai restores all data, and I assume that would include the accounts and sync app/data
You try contacting google? It might help
Send Google an angry letter.
Midget porn.....lol heh heh....classic
try this before removing the account
I believe the only way to remove the original account used to setup the phone is to do a factory reset. You would also lose access to any apps you've paid for with that account.
