I've just recently reset factory data and installed ICS LPD on my sgs2.
Problem is... now my android mail (stock mail app) will not setup any account. It'll go to "retrieving account information" and then just say "connection failed".
I've managed to connect my 2 gmail accounts on the gmail app but they won't connect to my stock email app and neither will my hotmail account.
Maybe i've frozen some stupid samsung hub on titanium that shouldnt be frozen?
Can anyone lend me a hand?
i've actually just noticed that even if i defrost an app... now it doesnt actually defrost:/ what have i done?
Factory Reset
Perform a factory reset again with format system as well.
Setup email accounts before touching TB.

Is there any way to do an account reset on Android without hard resetting the phone?
I changed my google account password through the web browser and now the phone obviously does not sync with the account - it shows an error that reads Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly.
The problem is I don't see any options to enter a new password anywhere. Deleting account does not work as well - apparently some other applications are using this account and won't let me delete it.
Some other topics suggested clearing data for Google Apps - but I don't see that app installed either.
Any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
Unless something has changed on the 3vo the only way to remove a Gmail acct is to reset it. Have you tried to go to your Gmail app and see if it asks for the new pw? I know the Facebook app does it.

Couldn't you go to settings> accounts and sync> gmail and then remove account....then add the account with your new password?
Nope just tried it. Doesn't work with the original gmail acct that was setup on the device.

So I take it you can't use the setup wizard. When I get a random reboot, it will show up like I just did a factory reset.

It should eventually ask for the password after a couple if fails. I don't remember but I know I had this problem on my droid incredible. I had changed my password then I nand restore back to a date before the password change and I kept getting sync errors, just kept going at it and it finally asked to reverify the account password.

When I bought my HTC Thunderbolt I logged into an existing gmail account that I thought I could change down the line. So, I have found that changing my original gmail account is not as easy as I thought. The problem is that when I go to put in a new event into my calender it does not sync correctly because it is syncing with the first gmail account I put on the phone.
So, before I go erasing this or that file, I want to check with some people who have good wisdom. My phone is rooted, I am on a different ROM and Radio, but everything I read says that you need to do a factory reset. So, here are a few questions I have...
Will a factory reset effect the rooting of my phone?
If it does not, should I just back on my apps up and do a factory reset?
Is there anything else I should know before I attempt a factory reset?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

gmail is directly linked to the primary account on your phone. the one you went through the initial setup with(setup market with). and unfortunately you cannot remove that email from gmail.
you can ofcourse add accounts via "accounts & sync", but that's a different story.
christ eh?... tell him/her I said salam.
I don't have any issues with erasing or not erasing the email. In fact, I don't really care if it stays on there or not. When I put a new event into my calendar it is using the email I signed up with. So yes, I could sync multiple accounts, but my laptop, tablet, home computure, work computer are all on one account. I like it this way.
When I look in my "accounts and sync" it says that it is using the proper account, but when I select a event in the calendar it wants to sync with google email I sign up with on my phone. I don't want it to use this account. I want to use the same one my google mail.
I am thinking that if I back up all my apps and data using Titanium Backup, do a factory reset, then add my google email so that my calendar syncs with the proper email I should be set. I can always bring my apps back using Titanium Backup and if all fails the worst that could happen is that I go back to my original setting using Titanium Backup.
Am I wrong in thinking this way?

So, the gmail account you started your phone with... 1. Did you purchase apps on the market with it? And 2. Do you still want to use it at all on your phone? If you answered "no" to both these questions, do this:
On your computer, log in to the gmail acct you don't want. Export a back up of all your contacts. Now, log out and log into the gmail acct you 'do' want and import your contacts into it. It will not wipe any existing contacts.
Now. On your phone, delete the Google acct you don't want. Sync the one you do want (calendar, contacts, etc). You will have sync'ed all your contacts, email, and calendar. Make sure its all there.
If you answered "yes" to either question above, also do this... Once you're sure your phone has integrated your new main acct, add the old one back. Uncheck the boxes for synching contacts and calendar plus anything else you don't want to sync.

Oops... It is important to know, 4g phones are not linked to your Verizon service the same way 3g/non-sim card phones are. In fact, if you were to reset your phone and not sign into a Google acct at all, you would still have service after set up is complete. This is because your service is now linked to the sim card on your phone. Granted, you won't have contacts, but you could make a call or browse the internet...

this morning i noticed that my secondary email account (it's an imap google server, but not the main account) stopped syncing. when i hit the sync button i got a response saying 'unable to connect to imap.vzw.net'
when i couldn't change/check the imap settings, i tried to delete the account, but it wouldn't let me. when i go into account settings and try to remove the account it lags on 'removing account' and then eventually tells me it is unable to remove the account.
i called verizon and spoke to both a verizon and motorola rep and both said that i would have to do a master reset on the phone. i'm finding it hard to believe that you need to do a master reset just to delete an email account.
also tried creating a second account, changing the default to that one, but still won't delete, and now i can't delete the second account either. tried clearing cache for all for email apps (email, email accounts, email engine, and email authenticator) and email accounts is grayed out, but after clearing the others, still can't delete the account.
to specify this is not the gmail account required for android, but an additional account under the 'email' app. after lots of searching it seems that other android phones don't have this problem, and can't find any specifics to the razr.
thanks
This happened to me about a month ago. Same response from tech support. The factory data reset works to fix it & it hasn't happened again. Do you use an app called Root Call Blocker?
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda premium
No, the phone doesn't have that app. It's not rooted. Kind of ridiculous that you need to master reset the phone to delete email accounts. Luckily phone is a few weeks old and doesn't have much on it, but if this happens a few months down the line it would be a huge headache to reset. Do you know if this is a Razr specific problem or related to android or motorola specifically?
took the phone back to verizon today, and then it started working. not sure what happened. but second account is deleted and first account works fine. best guess is that it was a problem with verizon's imap server which locked up the mail application.
Glad it got worked out. Mine happened right at the beginning of the first major 4g outage so it may have been related to that.

Sorry for the long post.
I have a gmail account and a hotmail account. Gmail works fine but hotmail is not syncing with the phone. I can see on the web app of hormail that I have received new email but I press the sync button on the mail app and nothing happen. I verified the password and is the correct one. I was reading that it happening to some people on the s3.
Tried to delete the account on setting/accounts and it say that some apps need the hotmail account and that I need to reset the device to factory. Tried to delete the account from the email app and it shows me "delete account failed-503 service unavailable" I have been looking through the forum and cant find an answer. Is there's a way I can delete without resetting ? im stock but rooted Thanks in advance
Figured out! deleted the stock email data from titanium backup and it deleted the account. Set it up again and seems to becworking fine!
You could also clear the data on the mail app...once cleared, go back to the email app and youll run the set up all over again

When I flash new rom, I try to avoid following....
1. dirty flashing (flashing over existing rom without wiping my own ass)
-> sometimes creates problems with functionality, but not always
2. retrieving titanium backup with yellow lettered internet bookmark, all red lettered datas, and any 'Account' data.
a)For internet bookmark, retrieve green lettered one but not the yellow one. Retrieving both yellow and green ones will combine 2 same bookmarks.
b)Do not save nor retrieve any red lettered datas.
c) Do not save or retrieve any 'Account' data which is on the list among other datas(regardless of what color it is), or it may create functionality problems such as syncing your email.

I tried to delete on the mail app but it was giving me an error. Then I went to TB and wiped the data there and it worked. I was able to setup again
Hello,
I am having the same problem with my note2, only for my yahoo account. I am not familiar with the solution listed above as I don't know what Titanium backup is. I have not done anything to my Note since I got it, as far as changing ROM or anything. What is the best way to resolve this since I can't delete the account?
Thanks
Is there anyone that can help with this problem? I have a stock Note 2 and my yahoo account stopped updating out of nowhere. Now it also won't recognize my login info so I can't send messages either. I have installed the Yahoo app but prefer to use the stock email app for one stop to all my email.
Any suggestions welcome...

Try going to Settings, then Application Manager. Find the email application and clear data. Exit from the application manager and then open your email app and set up your yahoo account again.

Stanz,
Yahoo mail works better for me if I set it up manually. You can let the email app find the servers and such on its own, but that's where I've had most of my problems. If you follow the prompts in a manual set up its pretty intuitive. Delete your Yahoo account and try that.

I wasn't able to delete the accounts. It was giving me a timeout error. I went to titanium back up and wiped the data ftom the stock email. Then I setup again the email as "others"
Hi, I have a Motorla Photon 4G and I'm with Sprint if this is needed, but I tried to call someone yesterday and noticed it didn't want to and force closed. I noticed it after I was deleting a bunch of old pictures on my phone and had some applications update, and installed a new one too. It's not rooted, and I don't mess with the files internally, so what should I do? I noticed some other threads had something to do with Yahoo contacts or something like that, but I don't meddle with Yahoo at all on my phone, or on the computer.
My brother and sister both have the same phone too, and they don't get this problem.
Thanks.
Back up all data and try a factory reset.

Same problem here Dean.
Let me know if you find a solution.
The new update from the Hotmail app to Outlook did the same to me. Once I uninstalled Hotmail, my contacts came back.
Thanks for saving me from factory reset
