The 2nd hand streak came with the previous owners google account. I can't access the Market since it is asking for a google password. Did the
accounts and sync thing followed by the privacy thing. Factory data reset, yes erase 2x.
It powers off and reboots to the same result.
Under accounts and sync settings, his account shows up and there is a sync error, red circle.

When i create a contact on my Hero there is no option to save as a Google contact, only Phone or SIM and so new contacts entered on the phone don't sync with Google.
I have tried clearing and re-entering Google account settings but no luck
Any suggestions??
please try to use another gmail account (to test the best would be, to use a newly created).. what happens then?
I had that a few months back and after a week of trying to find a fix for it the only solution anyone could come up with was a factory reset.
I did this and it fixed the problem - plus my phone was running a lot smoother and its been fine ever since!!

Several people have reported this issue in the past. It would seem that if you did not choose to sync contacts with Google at initial phone set up, you do not get the Google sync option and trying to set it up after the event doesn't help.
A wipe and fresh set up may help, though I'd advise a nandroid backup if you have a custom recovery image, so that you can restore if it doesn't help.

That wasnt my issue.... I had the option to start with and created many contacts on my phone - setting them up as a Google contact.
Suddenly after a few weeks of owning the phone, the Google option disappeared, leaving me with Phone or SIM.
A factory reset was the only thing I could find to fix it.

Thanks Felikz - that worked.
I created a new googlemail account, deleted the cache in the Google Apps screen, logged in using the new account details then immediatley deleted the cache again and logged in using the original account details and hey presto when i create a contact the Google option is there and no need to wipe the phone!
Thanks again.
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...

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.

I changed my FB password, now Google contacts sync is broke. I tried clearing the cache. I tried removing the cache. I tried reseting the phone (wiped all data) still will not sync. Any thoughts?

U changed your Facebook password and now your Google contacts don't sync..... Hmmm not sure I understand this. So u did a factory reset via recovery? Have u tried another android device? Maybe there's something wrong with your Google account itself.

Wow
You can adjust accounts by simply going into Settings/User and Backup/Accounts. Choose Google and look to the top right of the screen for a settings tab...... open that and you will see a sync all...... hope that helps
