I seperated the line my phone uses from a family plan to its own account, and am now unable to make market purchases. I noticed it had my old number in the email, and realized my current username under software info. is still from the old account. I know my username, so is there a way for me to change it?

settings, accounts and sync, choose google, remove account. then add your account using your gmail login info.
or do you mean
settings, update phone, update profile?
Tried updating profile and prl, but it won't update the sprint username. I can access already purchased apps, and have tried resyncing gmail. Was more wondering if there is a way to edit the sprint username directly, as show in settings -> phone info -> phone identity, under current username.

If you're talking about the "[email protected]" I think the only way to change that is calling sprint, and I don't even know if they will lol.
Darn. I was hoping to avoid calling them.

get your MSL#
go to dialer, enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
select edit mode
enter MSL number for the password
select data profile
change your user name
click menu... commit modifications
What is the easiest way to get my msl? Sorry for the stupidity, never done anything involving my msl.

If rooted, you can use MSL Reader from the market. Otherwise, if you call Sprint and ask them nicely, they will probably give it to you. Just say, "I'm doing some troubleshooting on my wifi network" or something like that. I has worked for me on the last two phones I have purchased.
Msl reader worked, thanks for the help!

Yes I can't remove account and I don't wanna wipe everything again.
Is there a solution
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Go to settings, Accounts and Sync, tap your email, tap remove account.
^ that won't work if you only have 1 google account.
Add another one then try to remove the original one. that MIGHT work, but it has a big chance that it won't also.
epic thread ID
I am having the same issue. I created another account so I could remove another one and i keep getting the message that some applications use this account. Need to go to settings, privacy, and reset phone. Doesn't work. Trying to remove the 300 contacts that are this phone from when i traded my hd7 windows phone for this hd2 with android. How can i remove the contacts?
Oh epic bump

Whenever I send an email from my phone, my username is all that comes up in the From field. I really want to replace that with my name, but can't find the setting anywhere! If I change Account Name, it does nothing, it's simply a label for me to see which inbox etc I'm in.
How do I edit the Name the email says it is from?
In Account Settings you have Account Name, Your Name, Added Signature and Signature. You should be able to alert ever info in these settings.

When I go to account Settings, I've only got Account Name, Add Signature, Signature, Default Account, Always CC/BCC Myself.
So no one else is ever having this issue?
My email comes up as sent from Abbaskip ([email protected]), rather than:
sent from John Jones ([email protected])
There is no field in the email app to change my name.

Yeah hotmail exchange with push. Quite annoying. And it doesn't happen on my tablet
use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.hotmail.Z7 official hotmail app, it's similar and has a widget
So I have contacts from facebook (I only add people I know). Some of these contacts have the peoples number and some don't. I can't edit a facebook contact it says to add a number. So instead I have a facebook contact and a phone contact with the exact same name but with the number. How can I merge these? I'm sure I'm not alone on this.
Open the phone number contact. Hit menu, edit, menu again, then join.

Nice, but I have 763 contacts!

I hear you..as far as I know that's the only way to do it unless your contact names are are listed exactly the same as the Facebook names.

I found out you can merge them when you sign into your Gmail account on the computer

This is what I did. It's a pain, and yeah, you have to have your contact's name be the same as their Facebook name. It's a real PITA when somebody wants to use a clever nickname and you just want their real name.
Ultimately, it's a choice between, don't sync, or sync and have a mess, or sync and merge and deal with the compromise.
Has anyone been able to bypass the security requirement yet?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using Tapatalk 2
Why would you need to do that? Besides, all the settings are on the server side, so no app could bypass that.
Are you looking for an exchange app that will automatically log you in? I use Enhanced Email app and it automatically logs in, and delivers push email, and I can reply without any password.

On my old Skyrocket someone had set up a patch that would make your device look like it had a password to the exchange server but in fact you were able to disable the password on the device without any warnings.
If that's true then:
1. I want a copy of that patch to look at.
And
2. That's a mighty big security hole if true.

Maybe because Google automatically backs up your settings and Wi-Fi passwords and such? Not 100% just throwing sine ideas out.
