Hello all,
I'm posting this here because I'm a noob and don't have the required 10 posts to post this in the Dev section. I just flashed my G2 with the InsertCoin_Vision Sense2.1 + 3.0 (v1.5) ROM and am having a problem logging into my google account to sync it. For the language I selected English (UK) because there was no option for US, and after trying numerous times to sync my google account I get a message saying " sorry your username and password do not match. Please try again. To recover your account information go to google.co.uk/accounts on your computer." I am positive I have the correct username and password, as I am able to log into the account using the phone's and my PC's browsers. I tried to sync a different gmail account and I'm having the same problem. The more I think about it, this really sounds like an issue with the wrong language selection and the phone subsequently trying to contact a UK server rather than US. I also verified on my wife's G2 she has the phone set to English (US) which for some strange reason is not an option on my phone I tried flashing the radio lib matcher and after rebooting the problem persists. ow can I add the option for the proper English (US) language selection? I would greatly appreciate some help on getting this to work. Since I can't post in the proper thread, if you see this siulmagic thanks for your hard work on this ROM.
I did some more research online and found the morelcale2 app and was able to add the English(US) language and I was able to create a new google account however I'm still not able to sync my 2 other google accounts.
Try reflashing or restoring your nandroid and reflashing. Also this wouldn't belong in the development area and would be moved here probably. It could also be a problem with the rom... head over to off topic, get your post count up, and ask around on the thread for your rom.

Thanks deliriousDroid, I assume re-flashing the ROM will overwrite the settings I have set up so far? Will my apps be gone to? I'm really hoping I won't have to re-flash since I spent a good amount of time setting the phone up. Any InsertCoin ROM user having this problem or have any input.

Yes when you reflash all your settings will be erased. You can backup your apps with their data with Titanium Backup and easily restore them later on.

Problem Solved!
I figured I'd post the solution to my problem for anyone else who may experience it at some point. The reason I could not sign into my 2 previously existing accounts but could create a new google account and sign in with no trouble was because I had the google authenticator enabled on my account, having previously installed the app on the phone when I had the stock ROM installed. I had to reinstall the google authenticator app and add a new phone under my account settings on my PC. I then created a new verification code, entered it on the app on my phone and all was well.

Platform: HTC-HD2
Android 2.2 DFT (31-12-2010)
Problem: Unable to delete primary Google account from device under Android 2.2.
Got this phone from a friend, but his google account is still linked at Market. I already created a new one for myself, but I can't install any apps, due to the linkage between his google account and Market. t
Did already tried steps under settings/Accounts & sync/Google/ remove account/ only get a massage asking to go to settings, under privacy and reset the phone, which have not been able to find. The only place I’ve found which allows you to delete accounts and personal data is under Settings/ SD & phone storage /Factory data reset. I’ve tried repeatedly resetting phone from that selection and still will not remove Google account. Resetting by deleting img-file on /sd/android works either, since there is no such file there...
Anyone a solution?
Thanks!
same problem
I just picked up a HD2 cheap just so I could play with the Android part of it..Love playing with phones so I'm not a pro quite yet but it sounds like maybe you need to re-install Android 2.2 with DFT. That should give you a clean fresh rom install. Like I said, I just started on the HD2 so I might be wrong but it might be worth a shot.
There are different ways to do it.
I would suggest to make a fresh install of your chosen rom.
If you want to keep existing rom then you need to answear this. What magldr version are you using? (To check the version, turn off phone, turn on and then quickly after hold power button till you get to magldr, check version, post it here.)
OK... I flashed CM7.1(RC1), and also the latest Gapps...
Both of these were already on my SD card from prior to my resetting the phone back to Froyo....
SO... I am rooted (have not checked radio or simcard), but when I flashed CM7.1 and Gapps, and then rebooted.... I didn't have a market app.
So I went through the browser to an xda thread from this summer where I could download a market app. Installed it.
When launching market, it states I need to add an account-- and this is correct as I had not added a gmail/google account as of yet.
But when I go to Accounts under Settings.... It says I can setup an EXCHANGE ACCOUNT.... What is this???? I tried just entering a gmail account and my password, and it says it cannot connect to server.
What is going on...????? This has nothing to do with the market app... (I don't think).
Anybody have a clue??

An Exchange Email is for Microsoft Outlook users. It allows us to either get Pushed or polled email services.
if you cannot get the g/apps i would highly recommend wiping, flashing the ROM, then flashing the g/apps again. And it does use a specific g/apps package with 2.3 ROMS.

Thank you for your reply. After an innumerable number of hours I was able to root it (without using a USB cable.. I just switched to ADB wireless after temproot), I think I got everything the cyanogen guide is supposed to deliver... But I need to recheck in hboot.
Wow a lot of headaches. I might make a guide.

First problem:
A few days ago i changed my gmail PW. Now the android features on my phone don't work. When I'm prompted to enter my PW, i get a network connection error message. I've tried 'force stopping' the gmail, and google apps, turning 3g on/off, without any luck. Toying with this issue has been testing my patience. I'm hoping to find a solution before i perform a hard reset.
Second problem:
I've had the phone for over a year running 2.2.X CM6.X. Since 2.3.X released, I wanted to manually update to gingerbread but i keep getting the 'error 7' code. I've looked around on the forums for solutions: reverting to an unmodified build followed by 'update.zip'
Specs:
Android version 2.2.1
Baseband 32.41.00.32U_5.08.00.04
Kernal Version 2.6.35.9-cyanogenmod
Mod Version: Cyanogenmod-6.1.1-N1
Build: FRG83D
The phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked. I'm a noob with the android.
Paypal $10 per problem to the person who can get me out of this hole. I know your time is money so a little compensation is being offered. Reward yourself with a beer or latte.
Go to Settings > Accounts & Sync Settings
Tap on your Gmail account
You will see a 'Remove Account' button - Hit that
Your phone should now have no account associated with it
Do a reboot (not really necessary though)
Back in the Accounts & Sync Settings, Add a gmail account by hitting 'Add account' button
That should take care of Problem #1
Problem #2:
Get the zip from the OTA here
Boot into recovery and do a Nandroid backup
Wipe Data + everything
Wipe again
Flash the OTA ZIP you downloaded
Reboot into phone
Once rebooted, setup your Google account again
You should be back in business

Thanks for the reply chetanthaker.
1. I don't have gmail as a separate item under sync. i use the default email client for both yahoo/gmail. When i try to remove my gmail account, it says i can only get rid of it by restoring to factory default.
2. I'm not sure where the issue is but even after i did a hard reset i can't login with my google account (the one i changed my PW to) nor the new account i made to verify if the issue is with my phone or accounts. Let's say i manage to update the to Gingerbread, won't i still have the same issue logging into my G account?
1. If you say you do not have a separate Gmail account on the list, that means your phone is not really connected to Google (in it's real sense) - So forcibly closing Gmail and the other Gapps won't really have any effect. (I'm assuming when you have a data connection, your EDGE/3G/WIFI icons do not really turn green from the regular white.
When you first configure your phone, you should ideally configure your gmail account first (so you get access to Market and the other stuff as well). You can then disable Sync on Gmail and add 2 accounts in the default mail app to send/recv email.
Do a Nandroid and get rid of all the accounts (may do a factory reset)
Start with adding a google account and you should be set.
2. You will not have that problem unless you Wipe your data via recovery. All that will happen is you will start fresh with adding your primary Google account

so far i've tried the following (without success):
- removing all accounts from sync list (except the main google account which i can't remove unless i do a factory restor).
- toggle 3g/2g
- logging in with a new google account
- attempt to login via Wi-fi without SD card and/or sim card
- trying old passwords (i thought i might have been entering the wrong PW, but i verified by logging into my gmail account; i'm sane)
- holding my breath and crossing my fingers
- performing a wipe of the phone memory (still can't login with either new or old google account).
Logging into youtube (linked google account) won't work b/c im in china. Initially i thought the hiccup would be due to china's great wall, but i've used this phone here for 8 months and changed my google PW successfully in within. I'm truly at a loss.
I'm still getting emails via default email program (yahoo/gmail accounts).
The internet works
Whatsapp works
And most importantly angry birds still works.
Maybe if i can find a way to update to Gingerbread, this issue will miraculously disappear.
Hi.
Did you try removing the Email app from the Device Administrators?
Maybe that's the reason why you are unable to un-link your Gmail account
Settings > Location and Security > Device Administrators
Uncheck the Email app (screenshot) and try

i don't have the option for my email under device admin list :/
the really odd thing is, i can't log in to my TF101 either...even after restoring back to factory settings. I'm convinced its either Google or China that's punishing me.
Well, with you wanting to update, are you wanting to update to a stock Gingerbread version, or to CyanogenMod's Gingerbread version?
If it is the latter, just go download the latest version 7.1.0. The best way to upgrade is to backup all your apps and app data with an app like Titanium Backup. Then perform a nandroid backup (basically a snapshot of your current system) and wipe the /system partition and perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install CM7 and the latest gapps (found from http://goo-inside.me/gapps) and reboot the phone. Once you are in, try to add your google account back to the phone (hopefully it works with a completely blank slate). Then connect to the market and get Titanium Backup back and restore all your apps and app data.
I'm not sure if it's a default security feature from google, but 24 hours after i changed my password and it let me login to my account again...However i'm having issues logging into Gtalk.
Thanks for all your help. Now let's see if i can get it running Gingerbread!
i have rooted my Nook Color before and added cm7. I was trying to do the same for my cousin. But, when i finished, i couldn't add a google account. i went to settings>accounts and sync> add account. but it instantly brought me to "add an exchange account". because of this, i can't use the market. this happened with every rom i used. I fixed this by using one of my old nandroid backups. but now I've been trying to flash a different rom and the same problem came up.
What do i do???
thanks in advance
Wrong Forum
Just Installed a Clean version of CyanogenMod 7.1.0.1 Stable build, And GAPPS 20110828, But after I booted it it came up with the Google Account thing, And I tried to Sign in to my account and it said something like "Could not establish a connection" so I decided I would skip it and fix it later. Then for some reason the Android market does not even show in the apps, but it does show it is installed. I tried to install it over it again but nothing changed. Any Help?
BTW I'm not sure if I am posting this in the wrong section (Noob) So sorry if I am...
Thanks,
Hayden.
Try reflashing gapps... It should be there.. As for adding google account you can go to accounts and settings, add account and select google..

Well that was silly of me, All I needed to do was connect it up tp my wireless and add the google account, Thanks
Now how do I delete this thread? haha
