Recently purchased a nexus 7 for my family (kid mostly). I set myself up as a primary account and gave the kid a dummy gmail user/account. My fiancee is also using the tablet on her own gmail account.
My account lets me set Google Sync options under the normal settings menu. Their accounts are grey'd out sync icons and no check boxes to set what can and can not be sync'd. This isn't a problem for the kid really, but my fiancee wants her gmail syncing.
Any ideas what other configuration setting I need to fix?
Thanks
I figured it out. When I turned off the sync option using the power toggles widget for my kids account it also turned it off for my fiance's account. I actually had to use the widget to turn on the auto sync as the auto sync option under the settings was not available until then.

Hi guys,
is there a way to change/remove the primary gmail account on Wildfire?
I'd like to change without factory reset because i have to sync with a calendar of another account.
Settings -> accounts?

I've tryed but in Settings -> Accounts I can't remove the account I've used to configure the mobile the first time so I can only sync the calendar of that account.
The only way I found was to factory reset, but the annoying thing is, the one app I purchases it tied to the old gmail account (and cannot be changed).
So I have to have my old gmail account as the primary address on my phone, or I can't have my app.
And so I can't sync my phone with my new 'Google For Domains' accounts calander.
Hi folks,
Hopefully will have my nexus 7 soon - am i right in assuming i can activate it using the same gmail address i have on my phone? If so.. i dont really want my emails coming to the 7 as the tablet is probably going to be for family use.. can you just delete the gmail or or remove the email account or something? I suppose I could always just set up a new gmail address and use that.
Thanks,
Michael
Just set it up not to refresh automatically. Easy-peasy
You can tell it not to sync gmail under "accounts and sync" in settings.

Sync, that's what I meant... why did I say refresh?!? But yeah, just turn off the sync and you are set.
Try freezeing or disabling the gmail app from the apps list or root it and uninstall gmail app

Here's a weird one.
Just got my Note 3 on Thursday. Woke up today and my email had stopped syncing.
Went into settings for the Exchange account to look at sync settings to see what was set up - and sure enough Saturday was not marked.
Selected Saturday so my email Sync settings were now set to 7 days a week between 6am and 10pm.
Went out of Sync settings to see if my email was updating - nope....no Sync...
Went back to Sync Schedule and Saturday was again unselected. Have tried to select many times - but every time I go back to the settings it is unselected???
Go figure...any ideas?
SAME !!
Don't worry, you are not the only one having the same issue
I have the same issue with Gmail, Drive and Calendar
bump: issue is still present!
or does someone have a solution?
you have a great alternatives such as: yahoo mail k9 mail etc:highfive:
Remove the account, readd and tick sync for ALL days. - Once you set up for example mon-tue-wed only then tick you want thurs-fri-sat it for some bizarre reason won't sync them. Once you remove the account and readd it'll fix.

Hey everyone, I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view
For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Also, I'm not sure if it has to do something with the sync settings, but I have them set up to sync email and app data. Also, for reference I am rooted and using the stock NC1 AT&T rom and have cleaned off all the bloatware.
Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,

Hello, since I've updated to Nougat earlier this week I stopped getting email notifications from my yahoo emails on the Gmail app. I still get notifications on my actual Gmail email account though. When I open the app that's when I suddenly get my yahoo emails. Anybody with the same problem or solution to this problem?

Either the account is no longer added or the notifications for it are turned off. Open the Gmail app and pull out the drawer from the left edge. Select 'Settings' at the bottom of the drawer list.
If you see your Yahoo! account in the list with your gmail account, tap it and make sure 'Notifications' is ticked. The settings for which ringtone would be used is directly below the aforementioned option.
If you do not see your Yahoo! account, tap 'Add account' and follow the prompts to re-add your Yahoo! account.
Feel free to ask for further assistance. Take care.
P.S.
Just saw that you are getting the emails in the app.
I would check your sync settings. Settings->Accounts. Make sure everything is set to sync up. You could also try removing and re-adding the account for the fun of it. I will do some research on this and try to duplicate the problem on my end.
Sync settings are as they should be and notifications is checked. I'll maybe try to reset the Gmail app.
