How to remove "google account" from htc(pb99200)

Hi
htc (pb99200) incoming is ok.
But can't make any call bcoz it need google account.
That also too many pattern.
How to solved it??

I'm not sure what your asking. Do you want to remove a Google account from your phone? If so go to settings > accounts & sync > the Google account you want deleted > remove account.
If you are asking how to create an account go to settings > accounts. & sync > add account > google > next > create

AFAIK the only way to remove your primary gmail account (the one you use for market and such) is to do a factory reset.

Edit: Just remembered from my previous experience, contacts wouldn't sync properly / fully / some doubled......
You shouldn't need to, but you might want to backup you conacts (export) from gmail to pc, just in case.
Menu / Settings / Accounts & Sync / Google / Disable "Sync Gmail contacts".
Menu / Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All / Contacts & Storage / Force stop & Clear data
Menu / Settings / Accounts & Sync / Google / Enable "Sync Gmail contacts"
Wait for the sync to finish.
Then, open the 'people' app
Menu / View --> tick box "Google" only.

I had this too the first time I flashed a rom and recovered a back-up of my apps and data. However, I have all my contacts in the cloud. All in gmail/google account.
So what I do now when I flash a Rom, fully wipe it and recover apps and data is: that I do not recover my contacts, but just let them reload from my google account.

That helped me alot! Just logged into my google account and went to my contacts .. there is a feature which can merge duplicates! And thats it..
Since it is possible to sync my contacts and calendar/events via google i am only using this feature..! actully my comptuer sync is only for files/music and other stuff..

[RESOLVED][Q] Unable to add a Google account - A long story [Edit hosts file]

So it started a couple of days ago when I noticed that my Google Maps is not downloading data at all. Google Maps used to be my great companion while trying to know my way around in a new place. I used to mark places and do what not. So, when it stopped working on mobile data, I thought let me wait till I connect to WiFi and fix whatever is bothering it. But no, it didn’t work.
I noticed in Accounts and Sync that my Google account is not in sync any longer. I try but the last sync time/date stays unchanged no matter how I try: WiFi, mobile data, internet pass-through. It just does not sync. Assuming it to be a problem with my Google account, I fire up my laptop and type my credentials on Gmail. Behold! After a wait of more than usual time, I see that my browser cant find the page. I leave the tab open, and try to enter Gmail and I am in. No glitch. I sign out and try again. Same thing: it never logs in when I hit Sign In button. I link this issue to my phone sync and forgot it. Since I work (and live too) in China, it was safe to assume that Google is under heat.
I sync my other personal Gmail account with Windows Live Mail. I noticed that I can login to my personal account (web browser on a laptop) effortlessly. When I try my other Google account on my laptop (account I use with Android), it does not log me in. I work-around it and change my password. I tried to log in but same problem.
I go to my phone assuming it will ask me for a password change, IT DOESN’T. I just doesn’t sync. I try to remove my account from Android to add it again but IT WONT DELETE or be modified. Every time I try to add a new Google account, I get the message: “Can’t establish a reliable data connection to the server” on WiFi, Mobile Data, Internet Pass-through. Nothing works and all bring up the same message. I get pissed off. So then on, I spend two days doing all this ****:
1. Create a new Gmail account and try to add a secondary account on my DHD: FAILED
2. Delete the which-was-working-earlier-account from Google (laptop) and try to sync Android: FAILED
3. Try to add account in MARKET, GMAIL and GTALK Apps: FAILED
Being a happy to go flasher and happy with RCMix Runny 1.3, I get really serious:
4. Wipe using recovery and restore to month old RCMix Bliss 1.3 nandroid backup. FAILED to sync with deleted Google account. Does not ask for change of anything. Just connection reliability error. Add new Google account: FAILED.
5. FULL WIPE and reinstall RCMix Runny 1.5. New setup. Add newly created working Google account during setup: FAILED
6. Try step 4 again after double wipe and everything. FAILED
7. Download ‘Revolution Super Wiper’ and wipe DHD twice. Install RCMix Runny 1.5. Try to add Google account: FAILED
8. Wipe with Super Wipe and install ARHD 6.1.2. Add new Google account: FAILED
9. Super Wipe, almost format SD Card, install ARHD 6.1.2 without SIM card Add Google account: FAILED
10. Give up and rant here in the forum.
Here is what works:
1. I CAN add a Google/Hotmail account in MAIL app. Everything works fine. No issues whatsoever.
2. I am connected on WiFi, Data Connection, Internet Pass-through. Checked and verified. No internet connection issues whatsoever.
Here is what I cannot try:
1. Use the Youtube workaround mentioned almost everywhere: though I did try to fire up the Youtube App.
It leaves very little to guess: if I can write about this for 10 straight minutes, I have ‘wasted’ a lot of my time trying to look for a fix and trying to fix this issue. I may be missing something terribly stupid or something really is wrong.
Who can help?
RESOLVED:
Updated the host file with a line :
74.125.93.113 android.clients.google.com
and I am through adding my new Google account.

Thank you so much... After reading a lot on web, n wasting my whole 2 days i finally got the solution.. I had to root my phone, but that was nothing to solve this problem.. thanks a lot...

I wonder what caused the issue in the first place.
This shouldn't happen by default, but I'm glad you found a workaround and I'm sure a lot of folks will find it useful.
Cheers

Yeah, I have that issue too on mine. I figure it is something to do with Google service not being native and the MIUI stuff being the defaults.
I just got it today, so I figure I just have to wait till Sunday to unlock, and flash the EU ROM.

I had to export my google contacts and import them into the native contacts app
This is at least a work around until maybe the final Global Rom is released and we see if it supports google's contact app
Goto -> h t t p s : / / www google com/contacts/u/0/?cplus=1 -> click more -> export
Save contacts.vcf to phone storage
On Phone goto Settings -> scroll down to system apps -> contacts -> import/export contacts -> import from storage

I had issues syncing google contacts with the Chinese ROM. I think installing 'google contact sync' via apk from apk mirror solved it (there is also a Google calendar sync). I can't quite recall as I'm now on eu rom and everything works perfectly.

Installed EPICRom, and everything is perfect now.
MIUI 9 and all Google Services are working

I installed the EU MIUI, and everything works as well.

Mismatch of internal storage

My device is showing 1.02 GB of free space in storage settings. But while installing app from play store, it says only 492 MB of space is available.. what should I do, please help..

It's normal. Play Store keeps ~500 MB free because if they were full your device will not boot

But this was not the case before.. I am using my moto g5 since 2017.
And I am unable to install apps even after having 1.02 GB of free space.

Clean cache of Google, chrome, YouTube (if you use) and Google play services. You will get atleast more 500mb-1gb of space, now install apps you want.

Sorry but I think you didn't get my problem..
I want to know where is the rest of my device's remaining space..
I completely understand that it reserves ~500 mb of it for booting process or any other system stuff. And if I remove 500 from 1.02 GB, the remaining space should be available for me to use.. but it's not allowing me to use that space.
Tried clearing cache and I always do that but it is not the solution of my problem.

This is also what's happening to me rn. I'm using redmi 5a. I believe the problem have something to do with the play store latest update because when I uninstalled the updates and using the old version the storage is normal & I can download & update my apps, but the old version can't browse the apps in play store like normal because it's outdated. I'm still trying to contact google support. I'm waiting for their response.

I don't know how, but suddenly my storage setting, play store and file manager are showing same amount of free space.. Just noticed this while updating an app.

first of all I wanted to thank Shina from google support team for this.
I skipped some steps bellow (steps 3,4,6,8) and it still worked for me. I hope it worked for you (if you had not solved it yet tho, hehe)
Step 1: Force a server check-in
Go to Settings > Date & time.
If you see "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone," uncheck them.
Manually change the date and time so that they're wrong.
Tap the Home Screen button.
Go back to Settings > Date & time.
Re-check the boxes for "Automatic date & time" and "Automatic time zone."
Step 2: Clear app data for the Play Store and Downloads app
Go to Settings > Apps.
Tap Google Play Store > Storage > Clear data > Ok.
At the top left, tap the Back arrow to go to the "App info" screen.
At the top right, tap More (3 dots) > Uninstall updates > Ok > Ok to restore the app to its factory version.
Note: The Play Store will update automatically within 48 hours. If "Uninstall updates" is dimmed, you can skip this step.
At the top left, tap the Back arrow until you see the Apps list.
Then tap Downloads > Storage > Clear data > Ok.
Note: If you've changed the Google Play Store app settings (content filters, password protection, etc.), you'll need to set them up again.
Step 3: Check that your device supports the Play Store app
If your device isn't on the supported devices list, please contact your device's manufacturer since it might not support the Play Store app.
Step 4: Remove and re-add your Google Account
Note: This may reset settings and remove in-app content. However, your purchases and synced data (Gmail, Google contacts, etc.) are tied to your account and will be available after re-adding your account.
Go to Settings > Accounts > Google.
Tap the name of the account you wish to remove.
Important: Make sure you remember your account password. You'll need it to sign back in to your account.
At the top right, tap More (3 dots) > Remove account > Remove account.
At the top left, tap the Back arrow > Add account > Google.
Sign in to your Google Account.
Step 5: Revert the Play Store app to the previous version.
Go to Settings.
Tap Apps or Application manager (depending on the device).
Tap Google Play Store (depending on the device, you may need to go to All).
Tap on the menu button, and then Uninstall updates.
When prompted to change the Play Store app back to the factory version, tap OK.
Go back to the device's home screen and relaunch the Play Store. Your Play Store app should update to the latest version within a few minutes.
If the Play Store app doesn't update, tap on the menu button from within the app and go to Settings. Scroll down until you see Play Store Version. Tap on that to check for an update.
Step 6: Try the troubleshooting steps in our Help Center
Next, try the troubleshooting steps in our Help Center. If those steps don't fix the problem, continue with the steps below.
Step 7: Clear the app data of Google Play services
Warning: Clearing the app data of Google Play services can reset settings, affect app performance, and cause unpredictable behavior across the device.
Go to Settings > Apps or Application Manager.
At the top right, tap More (3 dots) > Show system apps (on Android versions lower than 6.0, go to All instead).
Tap Google Play services.
Note: If you don't see "Google Play services," check Show all system apps and make sure that both Google Play Framework and Google Play Services are enabled. ​​If they aren't enabled, download the Google Play Service from Play Store.
Tap Storage > Clear cache.
Then tap Manage Space > Clear All Data > Ok.
After completing this step, you should check the settings on your apps to see if they're still configured correctly.
Step 8: Reset your device to factory settings
If you'd like help with resetting your device, contact us from another device and we'll walk you through it.
To reset your device:
If you have an SD card, remove it to save the data on the card.
Reset your Android device to factory settings.
Sign in to your device with a Google Account that was signed in before the reset.
If you removed an SD card, reinsert it.
To reload your apps and data:
Open the Play Store app.
Tap the Menu (3 lines) > My apps & games > Library.
Next to the apps that you'd like to install, tap Install or Enable.
