hi i just installed cyanogenmod rom on my phone and i login my gmail account...cuz my internet wasnt working at the time.. is there a way i can go back and login my gmail account or do i have to reinstall everything.... thanks
what? i couldnt understand any of that. did you log in or not? if you didnt, just open up gmail and it will prompt you to log in...
with cyanogenmod rom when ever i click on gmail... it just closes right away... i go into setting and try to go to data sync and it wont let me... doesn't do anything...
go to settings>data synchronization
ive tried that it doesn't let me do anything... it doesn't open anything... but in dev tools app there is a google login service...
i knwo there is a way to do it it said so on the page that you skipped that you can do it later but i dont know exactly what it is that you need to do. If all else fails you can always just wipe
oh wait go to your apps drawer and open up Gmail and see what happens
Try this :
Go to settings/applications/manage applications, find "Google apps", delete its data and then reload the Market app (or any Google app that uses your account). It should ask you for your login details again.
Hope this helps
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.
Im not sure what happened. I belive i tried to login the gmail and after that my android market broke. The password stopped working everywhere. On my last builds i only used the gmail account to login to android market and this time i setup the gmail account in my email and it stopped working shortly after. I tried to clear the contacts and i cleared evrything else but it dint work. I enter password and it takes me to the magic word screen captcha. I just keep entering newwords anditjust keeps popping up with new ones forever

Have you tried logging in to gmail via browser or from a computer? May be that logging in to gmail will allow apps to log in...? (Just a guess)
wow what a stupid program.
i was locked out. and there was nothing explaining why it wasnt working on the phone itsself.
im suspecting that google has some kind of check up to make sure you have the account linked to your phone or another email.
because i do not see any reason for this happening in the first place.
I keep getting this error message when i hit system updates in the about phone section.
"com.android.settings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button"
If I try to load social networking from the applications list, it says i have to setup a social networking account also. But when I go to accounts, it wont let me delete the facebook account (says error) and there is no 'social networking' account in add accounts. This is a really strange error, I'm thinking maybe due to downloading the regular facebook app. I deleted it and still am getting the same error. Not sure if accidently deleted the social networking app but its still listed under the manage applications section.
Anyone have any ideas on this one?
I am having this same problem. When I go into "About Phone" and check for updates, I get a popup message on the screen instantly that says:
com.android.settings.deviceinfo.CheckUpdate is not available without a social networking account. To create a new account, click "Setup" button"
There is a button labeled "setup" and a button labeled "Cancel". When I hit "Setup", nothing happens.
If I go into Accounts on the phone, it shows two sections:
MOTOBLUR Accounts
Other Accounts
MOTOBLUR accounts has nothing under its header, and Other Accounts has my GMail account. When I hit "Add Account", there isn't an option to setup a MotoBlur account, or add my existing MotoBlur account to the phone. Instead it gives me the option of adding MySpace, Facebook, LastFM, Twitter, Email, Corportate Sync, Picasa, Photobucket, LinkedIN, or Yahoo Mail to my MotoBlur Account.
I figured I'd try adding one of those to my MotoBlur account in hopes that it would realize that it lost my MotoBlur account and let me add my MotoBlur account back in. Sadly, this was note the case. I chose Picasa, put in my name and password and got the following error:
"There was an error creating your account. Please try again.
There was an error creating your account. Please try again."
(Yes, it said it twice)
I tried the same thing with Twitter, and again I got the same error message box (and again it said the error twice).
For some background on my setup... I am rooted and have unlocked the boot loader. I also used Titantium to Freeze everything in the "Comprehensive List" on this website:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972459
I did unfreeze everything I had frozen on the phone, rebooted it, and I get the exact same results...
Accounts lists a header for MOTOBLUR Accounts and Other Accounts, but has nothing under MotoBlur.
When I try to do updates and it says that I need a social networking account and I click "Setup", nothing happens.
When I launch the Social Networking App, it says that I need an account, and my options are "setup" and cancel. When I hit "Setup" 3 in 4 times the app just closes on the spot, 1 in 4 times the phone rebooted just after the app closed itself.
So can anyone shed some light onto this? It seems obvious to me that the problem is that my phone "lost" its MotoBlur account. Is there a way to set one up again without wiping the phone?

I have previously borked Motoblur by freezing something I shouldn't have, and thawing didn't help matters. I'm guessing you'll be doing a wipe and clean install in your near future.
This may not be relevant since I'm running the 2.3.4 build, but I have an app called Social Networking in my app drawer. When I click on it I can add a MotoBlur type account for a variety of social networks. I don't remember if this was there in the stock build. I think I remember a social widget of some sort though. Maybe you could add that to a screen, and it would provide the actual mechanisms for adding the social networking account.
Im getting this too in my rooted atrix, the unrotted i have us fine.

Rooted versus non-rooted shouldn't matter. I was rooted on 4.1.26 and did the OTA to 4.1.57, re-rooted and did OTA to 4.1.83.
There must be a way to have the MotoBlur setup to come up again without wiping the whole phone. There doesn't seem to be an icon for it, but there must be something I can run through a terminal window or over ADB that will re-launch the MotoBlur setup.

I put up a post on the Moto Forums, and a Moto Employee said that there is no way to re-run the MotoBlur account setup.
The thing is... I'm nearly positive that there is a way. I'd find it very hard to believe that the application to setup your MotoBlur account when you turn on the phone for the first time is programmed such that it removes itself after its done. That would mean that its still on the phone somewhere. Right?
I'm hardly an Anroid pro, but I am most definately not a typical end user either. Any advice to point me in the right direction would be appreciated. Since I don't "need" OTA updates until GB is out (unless CM7 or anything good custom ROM beats Moto), I have plenty of time to look around the phone for a solution to this.

if you wipe your phone you will get this option back to add a motoblur account again
there is a 'setup' app in the app drawer for those who want to setup blur later.
If you are on bell search flawless bell update I have a howto.
If you're on att you're going to need to find a stock system.img to push onto your phone.
I have uninstalled/reinstalled, cleared all data and it still brings up accounts on an app (fb i dont access anymore) and i want to delete them. But i cant login to do it that way so i figured id go in and remove the logins from the source that saved them.
Googling hasnt worked. Any ideas?
