I was setting up my wifes phone and I signed my email up first to get some tools to tweak her phone. Well now her phone is setup and her email is setup. I went to sync options to delet my email from there and its saying I need to restart the phone, some applications need that email to work? Is there a work around for this so I can remove that account.
I stoped syncing for that account for now, but now she cant sync here google callander instead it will only allow the option to sync mine. I dont want her events showing up on my phone and I am sure she dont want mine showing up on her phone lol. Basicly I am the main email on her phone and I dont want it that way. Any ideas would be great thanks.
Thanks, Thomas
I believe the only way to delete it without resetting is to delete the /data/system/accounts.db
Keep in mind this will delete all the accounts from accounts & sync, and always nandroid backup first.

If I do this will I need to reinstall that file again? Or will I just simply need to re assign a new email account?

Wiping data and cache will bring the phone back to the first time after you installed the last rom. Like the first time you booted it.
Male sure to sign her up for a Gmail account.

Sorry just checked this post, no you will not have to reinstall. You just have to setup the accounts again.

Go into the Accounts & Sync menu under settings. do another "Add Account", there you should see a second Facebook account icon, click there and login to your facebook account.
If you've already done this, go back to the Account & Sync menu, and click the Facebook for HTC Sense and remove account, re-add it and reboot.
I always have that same issue when setting up a new ROM, and you just have ot play with the settings under Facebook for HTC Sense and sometimes even removing and re-adding helps.

Under the People app, click menu and view. make sure you have your Facebook checked.
You may want to avoid creating MULTIPLE threads for the same issue.
Check your other thread in the general section for an answer.
Sorry bout the other thread thing i want this issue resolved and i did check and facebook is checked
Stock Rom? Ask the Facebook App developer. Uninstall and reinstall. Wipe the phone and reinstall. I am using Stock Rom non-rooted and having no issue. Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
If you're still not having any luck, I'd have to agree with tgruendler, try a wipe and start over. As far as the Stock ROM, did you download and install it after rooting.
If that's the case, try one of the custom ROMS
Can u give me links and tell me how to do this??
I have the same problem as you.
I went back to rooted stock and i can't get it to find my friends. everythign else, including the friend stream syncs up fine.
I have wiped and reinstalled...same problem.
I'm having the same issue. I installed Fresh 1.0.1, and I wasn't able to re-sync, but when I reflashed my backup (which was working before), it still wouldn't connect.
Maybe Facebook is having issues today?
rooted with CM6.1
how can I remove initial google account? I have a problem with google checkout on this initial account and need to remove it.
I tried remove the cache and that didnt work nor did it trigger a notification.
Any suggestions?
How can I remove all google apps?
If you're simply trying to change the Google account the phone uses, go to Settings > Accounts and Sync, and then add your new/other Google account and remove the problematic one.
Thats does not work.
It says the "problematic" account can not be removed because its used by other applications.
And this is AFTER you added the second account? You may have to do an entire wipe and then sign in with the new account on first boot.

I think the answer to my own question is yes;therefore, should I just follow these instructions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747381
im good, disregard.
I must have missed the part where you were rooted, but yes, I always suggest a wipe from recovery. When re-flashing, dont forget to install the latest gapps.

Apparently my wife decided to unsync her phone from google contacts. I flashed her phone tonight and upped the baseband/pri etc.. so no restoring I am assuming?
Anyway, when I brought her up on Miui, I looked at her contacts and nothing was there.. for some dumb reason she decided to unsync them and now she has nothing.
The question is, I did a nandroid prior, but I updated all the baseband/wimax/pri etc.. Can I view the data.img file somehow to just view/print and then she can type them all in again?
thanks a ton in advance on this stupid one
So resync them. They should still be saved to her Gmail. With MIUI you have to manually add your gmail account by going to menu > settings > personal > accounts and sync and then hit add account.
thats what I am saying, she didnt have them synced, just on her phone which was a different rom prior to miui.
thanks

There was a thread around here, on how to tear into a nanrdoid backup, and access the data.img. Figures that search is down right now, and i 'should try again in 20-30 minutes'. I think the easiest thing for you to do at this point, would be to just restore the nandroid, re-sync to google, then reinstall the rom you want. Then the contacts should be synced to gmail contacts, and you should be good to go to re sync them to the phone.
for some dumb reason she decided to unsync them

^Implies they were synced at some point. If they were then they should still be in her Gmail.

They have a restore feature that goes back 30 days but she must have deleted the stuff beyond that.. I am doing a nandroid and updating the myn rom to latest build (due to wimax/bb/pri)
Once I get them backed up and synced... then i will just restore to miui
will post update

After you restore your nandroid, export your contacts to SD to have a backup copy of them just in case something like this happens again. That way you can just import them and call it a day.
or the wife could just stop playing in settings
ok, got the contacts exported.. she has 50+ saved on phone only.. is there an easy way to convert them to google under her account?
thanks
issue resolved.. exported the phone contacts to a vcf file, then inported into her account. I am restoring miui now... I am sure the sync will just push to the phone once its done restoring.
thanks guys

I think you can upload the exported file as a .CSV to gmail. And then sync the phone with Gmail and they should all be there saved as google contacts.
edit: glad you got it figured out.
hi i have done an error i have restore from idraive and google all contact.
so now i have many double contact.
how i can delete all contact and resinvronize it only from googòe?
tks
Just delete all your contacts on the phone and only use your google account to resync them. If your asking how to delete them, well wipe data/factory reset will do the trick,, but have everything backed up beforehand.

Great App.
Its so great that i have buy pro version
I was flashing a new ROM to my Sprint S3 when I accidentally wiped internal storage (where I had my backup and my CM). Now I have no OS and no recovery files on my phone. I backed everything up on TiBu and moved the files to my laptop just in case, but I cant figure out how to access them from TWRP. Any ideas? Im trying not to panick because I know you guys can fix pretty much anything, but I need my phone for work in the morning. Thanks in advance.

You need to go into advanced settings in TWRP and sideload a rom, or if you have a sdcard reader put it in your pc and load a rom onto it.
Thank you!

:good: Worked perfectly and was very painless. Thanks for coming through for me. Any recommendations on a kernel to go along with CM10.2.1 (Stable)?
I was thinking of going with leankernel
I don't have a kernel recommendation, sorry. I actually only use TW roms.

Honestly, it all depends on your personal phone. My friends seem to work better with a 3rd party kernel while mine only works well with the stock CM one or Touchwiz one.

One more problem: I had everything backed-up on TiBu, but that includes bloatware that I am trying to get rid of. How can i just import contacts, without anything else?
I'm not sure, all my contacts are saved in Google.

Anybody have any other ideas? I tried syncing but Facebook has more numbers than any of my other networks and it doesnt seem to sync, even after reboot.

Did you try going into settings, then adding facebook as an account? I always use google to auto sync contacts it makes things easier.

I did. I have rebooted and resynced, still nothing. It even has a little check mark next to it, so it thinks its synced. Could it have something to do with my fb security settings?
How do I autosync my google account and contacts?
Sorry for the tidal wave of questions. You guys (and gals?) have been really great!
