Samsung Galaxy S II :: Delete / Change "primary" Gmail Account?
Sep 24, 2012
I've had my un-locked S2 for over a year now and due to inactivity on the registered gmail account I am no longer able to use my phone for navigation or anything else that looks for me to be logged into my gmail account before proceeding.
I've searched for any answer that would avoid the "recommended" restore to factory defaults (which deletes all my apps, photos, etc). I found one reasonable "work around" which required running the root explorer APK, which I installed and ran only to get the message "application closed unexpectedly". Perhaps my phone has to be "rooted" to use this apk or it is simply corrupted.
Can anyone recommend a way to save all my data but change the "primary gmail" account? I could root the phone, if necessary but would like ideas before going that far afield.
Maybe I am going blind but I cannot find anyway to change the notification tone just for Gmail. know I can in the non Gmail email app.I just want to know by the tone what email account has received email without looking.
I just purchase my sg2 phone yesterday. Unfortunately, my brother has used my phone last night and register the Samsung account in it by using his email or id. When I tried to change the account, it cannot be done cause I have to do the factory reset in privacy setting (which will erase all my personal info and downloaded applications). I don't want that to happen as well. Plus, my my brother can't even remember what the password he has used for the Samsung account I'm very pissed off now that my Samsung account belong to him and the fact that I can't do the factory reset because of him. I'll mention again, he forgot the password he used for MY SAMSUNG ACCOUNT IN MY SG2.
Why can't I find those settings on my Samsung s6. It's brand new...
I entered in error a letter in my email address for my Samsung account, now all it does is ask me to sync, which I don't. I have tried the above, but cannot find 'delete Samsung account' anywhere.
I have a problem with 3G data usage - going way over. I've installed TrafficStats and can't see anything going over - I've been told that it could be my email being set up wrong but I can't find how to delete the account and start again
I have set-up my email account using IMAP. I am using the IMAP path prefix of INBOX as I use on my old iPhone and on the email client on my laptop, but the Samsung email client does not seem to recognise it. When I delete an email it is reloaded the next time it sync with the server.
I entered my old email on my samsung s6 and want to use my new one with a new account, but it says i may lose my contacts, which i strongly dont want to, and i also want to keep all the pictures i have, is there any way to change samsung account without losing contacts and pictures?
Yesterday I have added my Facebook and Linked in accounts in Social Hub. I thought it was like an app or somekind. All I saw was updates from my FB home page. I cant do anything else other than seeing all those updates. I mean I can upload any photos or videos, I understood that its not an app kind but something else. Now, how do I remove/delete those two accounts from that social hub. Couldn't see any options available? Also noticed in other forums that once if we delete that account it cannot be added again coz of SNS feed issues?

A new Blackberry device has been detected. You must move your email account to receive email on this device. To move an email account, you will need to type the email account password. At least one email account must be moved to setup email on this device.

I changed my gmail account. How can I delete the old gmail account from my Xperia Mini Pro and substitute it for another primary gmail account without deleting all the configs, apps in my Xperia Mini Pro? Everytime I try this, Android will tell me I cannot do it because this is the primary account.
The phone was set up by the salesperson, and when I email off of Contacts, it defaults to Gmail. I don't use Gmail, but can find no where to change the default email account. Was this done during the set-up of Gmail? Do I need to delete the account and set it up again.
When I got my phone and set it up at Verizon, they had to enter a gmail account to get the phone to work. I gave them a gmail account, but did not realize that my wife was using this account for her Droid phone, so now I have all of her contacts. How do I switch to another gmail account. When I try to delete this account, it says that I have to reset the phone to factory defaults and I don't want to lose Touchdown which I have already paid for.
When I was using a Blackberry with Email, I was able to deleted email on the phone display, but leave it so I can download messages to computer. Now when I delete from phone they are gone!
I'm a recent returnee to the Blackberry world, and I use a Gmail address as my primary address. I've noticed something, and this issue has been discussed in other posts, but not rectified to my satisfaction. If I delete an email on my BB, it does not delete on my Gmail account on a desktop or laptop. This can be incredibly frustrating. I tried using the Gmail mobile BB app, but it doesn't display HTML email, and my BB is used mostly for personal not for business. Maintaining an orderly email account is proving extremely difficult. I've had the DELETE ON: MAILBOX AND HANDHELD set both ways, and i've had the sync option on the MANAGE EMAIL ACCOUNTS submenu checked and unchecked, and it doesn't work any way i can set it.
i've been on moto forums for 3 years now and since the new format last winter i can't log in with my primary account.it won't even allow me to log in with google on it.really a PITA considering all my MOTO devices use this account.blur has me listed ona phone i retired 9 months ago.don't tell me to clear my cookies either, this is the first time i logged on to the forums on this one and it still let me log on.
I can't seem to find a way to add e-mail addresses to my g-mail app. I cant find it in the user guide or maybe I'm just missing it. This is my first smartphone. With texts I'm dealing with phone #s. I want to put some contacts from my laptop onto my S-5.
I fixed the problem. Exported address book from desktop to folder, then attached to email and sent to smartphone.
somehow i changed my default email-calendar etc to my home email instead of my work email. How do I change it back?also I just updated my bb software yesterday and now I do not have the option to delete my work email on the server or just my phone. I still have this on my home email which is not necessary.
I've gone through step by step to change my apple id primary email.
I clicked 'edit' put the new email address in. All three green lights indicating all is good. Click save... and it reverts back to the old email address.
I have a HTC ONE With Android 4.3 and Sense 5.5. Suddenly the e-mail sync stopped working on my primary mail account. I have tried out every thing and even done an factory reset on my Phone. Have tested this mail account on other Devices and there is nothing wrong with the e-mail account.
I have checked settings-accounts and everything is checked to sync and it shows it sync'd earlier today but when I log into my gmail account and select contacts there is nothing there. How do I go about backing up this information to my gmail account?
