Google Account Change

I needed to deactivate my Google account due to the overwhelming spam that I was receiving, and created a new one.  How do I change this on the HTC Incredible?  It will not allow me to access the Market App without it being changed.

Hello forum members,
It’s me again! I just wanted to say that the answer BakerGeckos gave is absolutely correct! Just to piggy back on your answer to mdodgson27, if you are having difficulties saving your contacts to the new Gmail account on your phone then you can export them into a .csv file on a PC. Once you have done so, you can import the .csv file into your new Gmail account from the PC once you log into your new Gmail account online. The contacts will wirelessly transfer to your device when you set up your new Gmail account on your HTC Incredible.
Keep in mind that your android market download history will not be assessable since you will have a new Gmail account. I recommend writing down the apps that you have so you can re-download them manually. If you have any additional questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reply on this post.
FYI to all of the community members, we have submitted a product issue report on the inability to change the default Gmail account on the Android devices. I understand that a factory reset is not the more desirable way to change the default account but it is all we have at this time.
Thank you...

  • Will Apple ID 2-step span across my entire iCloud, similar to how the Google Authenticator will protect Gmail, Blogger, Drive, etc?  Right now it only prevents purchases or account changes.

    I would like to use iCloud services more, but I prefer the security of the Google Authenticator 2-step system.  I just installed the Apple ID 2-step, but was disappointed to learn that it only prevents account changes and purchases.  It will not stop people from accessing your iCloud email or seeing your contacts or any other services you may have with Apple.
    Will the Apple ID 2-step take steps to be like the Google Authenticator?

    The Apple ID & 2-step verification doesn't stop one from logging into iCloud from a browser and then access/delete adderss book info etc.  It is frustrating that Apple turned on 2-step  but has nothing to extend or implement it for iCloud.  When I called their tech support I was told that it will be rolled out shortly.  Until such time the 2 step in place is pretty much useless.

  • Changing the registered google account?

    When I purchased by phone, I used my google account.  Since then I have subscribed to Google Apps and have an additional google account, which will be my primary account.  I would like to change the older google account to my new google apps account so that the calendar, contacts and e-mail data of the Google apps account will be the primary account

    http://www.droid-life.com/2012/09/13/how-to-add-multiple-google-accounts-to-your-android-device-beginners-guide/
    You can have both.  But if you only want the one, then set up the second one, and then delete the first one.

  • Why does Apple sends emails to a google account which is neither my primary nor alternate email address when I change Apple ID password

    If making changes to my Apple password, Apple sends the create new password email to a google account which I have for work which is neither my primary nor alternate email address. Have no idea how to stop that - please help? It is not listed on my account as an alternate address.
    Thanks

    You will need to free up the email that you wish to use as your Apple ID by replacing it with a different email for your recovery email.

  • I changed my google account email address over a year ago, but Firefox continues to remember my old one, despite repeated cache/cookie clearing, forcing me to retype in my email everytime I need to log in. How do I get rid of that old email?

    I have a google account that I use mostly for the calendar. Occasionally I'm taken to the log in page (my time has expired, or someone else has logged in on my computer to their google account). On the log in page, the email address that Firefox remembers is an email address that I have not used in over a year (although it was the first email I used when I opened my google account). I have deleted that email address within google; I have cleared ALL my cookies and my entire cache numerous times and no matter -- the old email address is what Firefox remembers when I log in new.

  • ALERT: Google account sync broken on webOS devices (and a fix)

    MUST READING FOR webOS USERS WHO SYNC CONTACTS WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNTS:
    Earlier this week I began having trouble with my Pre3.  It spontaneously restarted and pretty much wiped everything.  After logging back in to my webOS account, I then began having trouble logging in to my several Google accounts.  Each time, I got either an "unknown error" message or a message that my credentials were incorrect.
    A very clever webOS developer (consider throwing him some bones if you use his patch...see below) figured out that Google changes to https (whatever that means) were the culprit.  I don't understand enough of the jargon to explain it, but the issue seems to effect Google accounts (primarily contacts) which are newly added to a device or re-added after a reset or doctoring your device, more so than accounts that are already on your device.
    However, even if your existing gmail and calendar accounts still sync, you are strongly advised to check...Google contact sync is probably broken and you might not realize it.  In this condition, contacts which are newly added directly on device will not sync to google servers for backup and syncing with other devices you might have, unless you install the patch below.
    I can vouch for that.  I had added several new contacts directly on the phone during the past week, but after this week's fun & games, I found that none of the newly added contacts had ever synced to my online Google contacts, which means they didn't sync back down from google's servers onto my other devices.
    SO...GO HERE NOW:  The patch which is discussed in this linked article on webOS Nation has definitely fixed the sync problem on my Pre3.  It requires the use of webOS Quick Install.    While you're at it, install Preware using webOS Quick Install, and expand the usability and speed of your webOS device. Then install a Preware app called Internlz Pro which is installed with Preware.  Then you email the patch to yourself, click on the attachment, and Internalz Pro installs directly without having to connect to your computer.  
    Please post back in this thread if this issue has effected your phone or tablet, and if you have any problems installing the patch.  I haven't used webOS Quick Install in a long time so I had to figure it out from scratch.  I install from a MacBook and it works just fine.  There is also an on-device option called Internlz Pro which is installed with Preware directly on the phone...you email the ptch to yourself and Internalz Pro will install it.  
    HP/Palm had given its support to the webOS Homebrew Community, so let's use this information here to keep these devices healthy.  You will find much more detailed informatio in the forum linked above where the patch is located, and how to get webOS Quick Install and PreWare downloads.
    I'll also use this experience as a plug for PreWare and the really selfless developers who support our favorite OS and catch stuff like this when it happens, and turn around a patch in a day or two so that the community can benefit..  There are tons of improvements just waiting there for your webOS devices.  Tweaks.  Patches.  Enhancements of all sorts to make your webOS device run faster and jump higher.  All free, robust, and ready to keep webOS cool and relevant for many more years, for a lot of users.
    No particular skills or knowledge are needed to take advantage of PreWare.  The directions are very simple.  You already have the hardware.  This experience shows me that the webOS homebrew community still has some dedicated and pretty darned skilled developers at work for the sheer joy and pride (and a few $$ should someone toss them a few) of keeping their...our...beloved webOS alive.

  • After I downloaded Yosemite I can no longer send mail with my google account only receive mail

    I installed Yosemite and I wish I had waited , I can now receive mail on my google account but can't send
    I just get the drop down box with Google off line try another server
    My laptop works fine but that still has maverick on it any help would be appreciated.
    I have already deleted all my mail accounts and rebooted but no luck after reinstalling mail as per laptop installation

    Well, it happened again.
    This morning I was sending out a bunch of emails and around the 10th one they started kicking back.
    This time I did not fool with any of the settings on my computer.
    I turned off both the modem and router.  Started them back up and the problem still exists.
    The last time this happend, about a week ago, it started working again within an hour.
    This problem ony crops up when I am sending many emails at the same time
    Throughout the rest of the week it works fine.
    This time I by-passed the router and the mail will go out.
    So it looks like someting is going on with the router.
    Whenver I hook the router back up, outgoing mail will not work.
    It says it cannot send mail using my server.
    I double checked all of my mail setings and nothing has changed
    I also did a hard rest on the router, but it did not help.
    Again this problem is with 2 computers. 
    I have an early version of Airport Extreme Model A1143.
    It's around 5 years old.
    Whenever I call my ISP they claim everything checks out on their end and they don't offer any help.
    I am sure if I leave the router unplugged for a day or so, it will start working again.
    Is there any way a router can break down and allow incoming mail and internet but not outgoing mail?
    I am am at wits end with this problem.
    I would be willing to go out and get the latest Airport Extreme if I knew for sure it would cure this problem.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 won't log onto gmail or google accounts, plus issues with hotmail

    Running 3.6.13 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Since 3.6.12, I've had hit-or-miss issues being able to log onto my gmail (no, not a password issue). When I tried loading gmail (either through the unsecure or the https version), the connection would often time out, with Firefox telling me the connection was interrupted and/or had been reset. Hotmail would load, but if I selected multiple messages to move or delete, it wouldn't work, and a notice would pop onto my hotmail session, saying that I wasn't connected to the internet.
    So I tried Chrome, and the gmail issue wasn't a problem in Chrome. But, sure enough, the Hotmail thing was still an issue in Chrome.
    After running through all the suggestions I could find here and elsewhere--including deleting cookies, cache, etc., and creating a new profile, and running in safe mode, and moving to Firefox 4 beta (same issue as 3.6.x), and a total uninstall & reinstall of Firefox--nothing worked. In fact, after upgrading to 3.6.13, gmail wouldn't load at all. I couldn't even log on to any aspect of my google accounts--so, no docs, no calendar, etc.
    So I started over, with a system wipe & reinstall of the OS. After initial install of Firefox, it *seemed* to have solved the problem. But soon after--and this was before adding any customizations other than Adblock Plus (which I have disabled on any google domain)--the problem returned. I ran through the troubleshooting again (e.g., deleting cache, cookies, creating new profile, etc.). No luck. Then I realized the culprit might be... JAVA!
    Uninstalled java, and lo! and behold, gmail loaded. But hotmail still was problematic. And gmail was still hit-and-miss, and loading slowly when it did work.
    So I went to my work computer, which is also running Win 7 Pro 64-bit, and copied all my Firefox files (install directory, profile, etc.) over to my home computer. Y'see, my work computer--despite having all the same settings and software--has no problem with gmail or hotmail. Well, those same settings applied to my home computer still were problematic. And no, it's nothing to do with my home network setup--which hasn't changed since before I started having these issues, anyway.
    So I did a complete uninstall of Java on my home system, and voila! Gmail works, doesn't take a whole lot of time to load (though it's still sluggish compared to my work computer). Hotmail is still buggy, but hey--it's hotmail.
    Unfortunately, when I then installed OpenOffice, Java was re-installed (and I'm not sure how essential having a standalone java install is for OpenOffice, so I'm holding off on any uninstall) and now I'm back to hit-and-miss gmail.
    Long story short, there is something in java (and I've tried version 21, 22, and 23) that is messing up Firefox when it comes to gmail, google accounts, and hotmail. Chrome is not affected by this in gmail or google accounts, but has issues in hotmail. IE8 isn't affected in google or hotmail.
    I hate IE8, and I'm not sold on Chrome. Don't drive me away, Firefox.
    Prior to my OS wipe & reinstall, other sites that use java--primarily for file uploading, like flickr & photo finishing businesses--were not working with Firefox 3.6.13 or Firefox 4 beta.
    Again, clearing cache, clearing cookies, creating a new profile, running in safe mode, uninstalling any individual and/or all add-ons and extensions... none of these was the answer to this problem. Even a fresh OS install didn't quite fix it. Java seems to be implicated in the problem, and I'll be posting this issue over at Oracle's forums, too.
    Other computers I have on my home network are affected by this issue, as well, but not all of them, and not to the same degree.

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

  • How do I add a corporate google account to my blackberry

    How do I add a corporate google account to my blackberry? I managed to add my personal google account but I can't seem to add the corporate one. It says that registration failed. The administrator of my corporate account said that they have not changed any settings, so it should work. Can anyone help out?

    It could potentially be a glitch with the servers when you have tried adding it. Although it may seem a silly suggestion have you done a battery pull (remove battery, wait 30 seconds and reinsert) - this may clear the problem.
    A security wipe of the phone may also work but ensure you do a backup before hand. Otherwise a call to your mobile carrier to see if they can assist might be worth a try.

  • Use Google Account in iChat ?

    I have signed up to a Google account (don't mix this up with Gmail account) using my .me.com email which i would like to use in Google Talk, i can signin using my web broswer and accept friends as well as chat.
    I am trying to add this to iChat and tried a number of times it does not let me sign in when i add the account via iChat. The eaisest thing is possibly just to sign up to a Gmail account but we all know what Gmails availablilty is like and that means signing up to an account something like [email protected] I would like to use on email for everything and I've spent hours scrolling through web forums to try and find the answer. I am thinking there must be a way as in Google's blog it did say that google talk is now availble to non Gmail users.
    I have also tried signing in to iChat with an old Gmail account and it works no problems....
    So my question is it possble to use iChat using a Google Account that i created using my me.com email address?
    Really noping someone can provide me the answer

    Hi,
    People that have
    [email protected]
    as their Buddy name are likely to be runniing a Jabber server.
    iChat can join the AIM Service with valid AIM Screen Names.
    These can come from a variety of sources:-
    AIM  (In fact any Company that AOL owned that offered an Name at one stage, such as Netscape, Compuserve 2000 AOL and AIM itself)
    Apple IDs ending in either @mac.com or @me.com  (Passwords need to be 16 characters of less.  Later iCloud issued @me.com names only work in iChat 6 or later )
    Email IDs from ISPs that have an agreement with AIM like Apple do.
    Note:  You can actually register any other email at AIM - and use an @googlemail.com name if you wished  (or a Hotmail one and so on).
    Jabber Service Names come from  server.
    Lets take Jabber Australia as an Example.
    You register a Name (simplyliam) and you become [email protected]
    There are many Public Jabber servers as you can see in this List
    Essentailly you become the [email protected]
    Both Facebook and Google run a Jabber server.  Both need you to enable Talk or Chat in your account settings in each site.
    Note:  Google only do this Publically for their Mail Account names  (i.e the names can be used in other apps like iChat/Messages)
    Google also do not stick to the naming format  (their server name is talk.google.com) which is why it is a separate entry in iChat.
    You can add Buddies that are AIM valid to an AIM valid Buddy List.
    You can add Buddies that are valid over Jabber to the Jabber/Google/Facebook name List.
    Although the naming formats for both include email looking IDs and will therefore be accepted in a List the Buddy will always look Off lline.
    NOTE:  I have seen cases where people have registered their GoogleMail ID was an AIM Name and they appear as AIM Buddies  (I have also seen Hotmail email names registered the same way even though they are also MSN names).
    It is so long ago that I set up my Google mail account I am not sure what email I may have used as a secondary contact address or Confirmation email address.
    (EDIT:- I looked it up and it was a dial-up account I had before that).
    As I said before, at one time you could add other types of Google account by entering them as a plain Jabber Account and then changing the server name in the iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings tab to google.com
    This has not worked for about a year.
    So there is no way to Login to GoogleTalk without it being a GoogleMail name (No matter what ID was used to create it.)
    There is also no way to have the @me.com name appear instead of the Google name. (well, unless you typed in that your first name was simplyliam and your last name was @me.com when you set the account up).
    Whist a Google Name of any sort that looks like an email ID can be registered at AIM as a Screen Name it will mean that the name is an AIM Name and still would not be able to directly contact Jabber/Google/Facebook Buddies in iChat.
    I have tried to show with examples that what you wnat is not possible.
    However the broad way AIM allow other Email IDs to be used /registered as AIM valid names can supply a sort of work around in one direction (getting everyone on AIM) it does not work in ther direction you seem to want it (Somehow to use either a Non Googlemail Name or a AIM name over Google/Jabber).
    Although this may not be the answer you wanted I hope I have been clear enough.

  • AirWatch and Exchange/Google accounts.

    I am employed by a quasi-government agency, and I have a work iDevice which is owned by that agency. I also have a personal iPhone and iPad which I own.
    The work iDevice has AirWatch installed. My work Exchange account--e-mail/calendar/contacts--are synced to the device. My personal iPhone and iPad do not have AirWatch installed. My personal Google account--e-mail/calendar/contacts--are synced to the device.
    It's pretty important to my staying consistently organized that I have all my appointments, work and personal, in one place. I would like to be able to see my work calendar and my personal calendar on both my work and my personal devices. All other data I'm more than happy to keep separate.
    Though it seems to me like the MDM configuration should prevent this, it appears I am currently able to add my Exchange work account to my personal devices and my Google personal account to my work device. (The former demonstrably works; I haven't followed through with the setup of the latter but there seems to be no barrier to it.) If I were to keep these accounts on, I would turn off all syncing except for calendars. Given this set of circumstances:
    If I add my Exchange work calendar to my personal device, does the personal device somehow become peripherally enrolled in AirWatch--or is the configuration really just that non-secure? What kind of data does AirWatch, Exchange, and/or Apple permit my employer to query, see, or wipe?
    If I add my personal Google calendar to my work device, what kind of data does AirWatch, Google, and/or Apple permit my employer to query, see, or wipe?
    I'm honestly not trying to duck a BYOD policy; to the extent that one exists, it's so outdated that it only addresses Blackberrys. And I have tried multiple times without success to get some honest answers from IT about this and have been (shockingly) unable to cut through the red tape. I just, you know. Want to not miss my appointments. While also being relatively sure that my employer cannot check out my YouTube history.
    (Not, um, that there's anything wrong with my YouTube history. Anyhoo.)
    Any insight you can provide would be deeply appreciated, including if there's some obvious way I'm not thinking of to keep the two calendars automatically synced.

    No. We didn't change a thing. Maybe you don't have the right ports open on your firewall...
    ActiveSync needs TCP ports 443, 990, 999, 5720, 5678-5679, and 26675 open. You may also need 80, 143, 110, and 25 open.

  • Google account login issues

    I am recieving the error unknown error when trying to add my google account to the touchpad. I can login fine through the browser but am unable to add it to email, chat, etc...
    Troubleshooting I've done:
    1) Waited a couple days and tried again, same issue.
    2) Tried with a secondary google account i have, this one logged in fine.
    3) Changed secondary account to have same password as the primary one that is receiving the error. Unknown Error received.
    4) Changed secondary account to use various combinations of special characters from the primary account. Received error a couple times. It would appear that using a ~ in combination with ( or even )  whether there are characters in between the two, causes the account to give an unknown error. I didn't try every key combination with the tilde, but at the least the 2 above do not work.

    Gmail account issues are discussed in this very recent thread.  You will have to install a patch written by a homebrew developer to get Gmail accounts to sync properly.
    AOL account sync has also been discussed here, have you tried the Search function?  My AIM messaging account works fine, but I don't use AOL anything else.

  • Browser, play store and google account disappeared!

    Hi!
    I just got my Z1 back from service. The mic didn't work, so for some reason they just changed the whole motherboard. The mic seems to be working great now, But another problem has ocurred. When the phone started up after a factory reset I was not able to sync my google account (no error message, nothing just happened when pressing the google account button), but facebook was no problem. When it started up i noticed that I had no browser, so I went to find play store to download one. There was no play store either.
    Apparently all the google asociated files is not in the memory, so they're not able to be installed. Since I have no play store, no browser and no file manager to find the sd-card, there is no way for me to get any programs into my phone. Also it does not show up when connected to a computer.
    What can I do to fix this sticky situation, hopefully without sending it back inn.
