I have a feeling that the answer to this question will be hard reset but here goes.
I have 2 accounts on my phone. Google Apps and my other Google account.
All is good and I installed them the right way round (non G Apps account first) so that maps, marketplace etc use the right accounts.
But for some reason I have my non Google apps account setup on Google Talk and of course I want the other one. And there seems to be no way of changing this.
So any clues? Is there a way to change this (I have had a good look) or am I stuck?
Sorry, this has absolutely nothing related to your question, but how did you get Gtalk to work on your device? I got invited but was told it's only for US users? lol
GTalk is global instant messaging, are you not thinking of Google Voice?

What do you have the Apps account set up for?

Do you mean why do I have it?
Email, docs, calendar and so on. The usual thing you have Google Apps for.
I have the 2nd (primary) Gmail account because you need this for maps, Google Checkout (and thus marketplace) and so forth.
For now you can't use your Apps account for all other Google services
Have you tried removing the Apps account, starting GTalk, then re-adding it?
I think it's the app that's at fault really - it doesn't give you an option to select a different account.
I'd suggest though that it possibly needs to be this way, since we know GTalk and Market are somehow linked together.
Why not install another IM client for your other GTalk account?

Dave
Try going to Settings - Applications and delete data from Google Talk Service and Google Talk Storage, see what happens.

I don't think it is faulty. I think is it designed this way.
A most Google services need a Gmail account. Talk, Checkout, Marketplace and so on and so on.
Google (for now) do not let you use your Google Apps account (if you have one) for these other services (although they have announced this will change)
On top of this, Android has the limitation that you cannot delete your PRIMARY Google account.
I believe the issue I am trying to deal with is tied into all of this.
If I have to do a hard reset then I will wait as Google have announced that we will soon be able to have our Google Apps account linked to all the other non apps services and you just know that just like the move from googlemail to gmail a few weeks ago, this will also need a hard reset!!!

Would you care to explain why that would DESTROY Gtalk? AFAIK deleting data for a specific application is like hard-reseting just that one application. I've done it many times for Gmail, browser etc. (I admit, haven't done it with Gtalk and am not willing to test because I don't want to lose my settings and history). Please don't just assume, give facts.
I'm pretty sure it's impossible to DESTROY an app on a non-rooted phone, or using just the options/settings Google/HTC provided.

It doesn't DESTROY talk. I know this because I have already tried it.
It didn't fix the problem either

Just re-read your OP and think there is no solution for your particular situation. AFAIK Gtalk is linked to your primary gmail account (the first one you setup). It uses the same autentication and port as Market and as such they are linked much deeper than I understand (e.g. it's well known that if your Market download stalls you can solve it by loging in Gtalk).
The only solution I can think about would be to use another app for Gtalk, there are quite a few good ones on the Market.

I am able to delete google account from my desire without problems in settings...accounts&sync...
Sent via my HTC Desie from XDA tapatalk app
I have the same issue.
Phone registered with personal gmail account.
Company uses google to host their email and I can not chat with anyone else in google talk.
To make it worse I have logins for some consultancies I work with and can not use those.
All I want to be able to do is select the google account to be used for a talk session.
Too much to ask?
Having more than 1 gmail account for email is not an issues , why so for talk?
Hey guys,
I'm hoping someone can help me out here because it's driving me insane. I have a rooted Desire and have previously bought several apps from the Market (Locale, Twidroyd, etc.). I have Titanium Backup, which I've been using to back up my apps and settings (only for downloaded apps, not for any system apps).
I recently decided to try out a MIUI ROM and after having a play about with it, I decided to go back to a Sense-based ROM (LeeDroid 2.2f if that's relevant). I used Titanium Backup to restore my apps but have found that my paid-for apps from the Market are no longer authorized. If I uninstall them I'm finding that I have to re-purchase the apps rather than being able to re-download them as I cold previously.
I'm using exactly the same Google account as before and I've already tried clearing the Market app's data and cache in the Settings app.
I'm at a total loss as to why the apps can't be authorised! Any ideas about what else I can try?
In Titanium,
Long press the app, and when the menu selection comes out, press "attach it to market"... or something to that extent. I can't remember the exact name for the option.
Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. The apps were all already attached to the Market correctly. Unattaching them and reattaching them in Titanium didn't seem to make a difference.
I've tried wiping data/cache and reflashing the ROM but no luck there either. I've also tried going in to the Market and going to the page for Locale straight after configuring my Google account, before restoring the backup in Titanium but it still says that I have to purchase the app
Ok have managed to find a solution, but it's a bit convoluted. I use 3 Google accounts in total on my phone: 2 x Google Apps accounts and 1 x Gmail account.
The Market only supports Gmail accounts for buying paid apps; if you access the Market using a Google Apps account and attempt to purchase something, you are prompted to add a Gmail account and the purchase is made against that account. Due to the purchases being made against my Gmail account, it was this account that I was entering first after doing the factory reset and then going into the Market to accept the T&C's.
However, it appears that if you initially entered a Google Apps account when you first got the phone, you have to keep entering this account first after factory resets, even though the purchases are made against a different account! Clear as mud, right?
Oh boy, that is a doozy.
Wouldn't it be better to streamline your accounts?
Hehehe yeah I guess so I'd rather just have the 2 Google Apps accounts (one is for work, the other is personal)
I am not exactly sure when this started happening but lately I cannot get any app to authorize my account on facebook. For example, I installed sycn.me and when I try to use it, it asks me to login and after logging in, I get a prompt with all the permission details and there is OK and Cancel button but I cannot click on either one. I tried disabling the Facebook app but even the web popup has same issue. I have tried several different apps that rely on facebook permissions and all have same issue with the popup. The apps that have already been authorized, work without an issue. So I don't think that it's an issue with authorization but the authorization detail popup.
Does anybody has any solution for this?
When I'm signed into my google account online and go to the playstore, it shows that certain apps are installed on my device. This is not accurate though.
Is there a way to delete all apps that I've ever installed from my account? I don't mind if I have to start over, thought I rather now create a new gmail account.
Any thoughts on this as I'm pretty puzzled.
And any old phone that I owned I factory reset before I sold.
Thank you

Check which apps are shown as installed but not on your app drawer. This is most likely you have disabled (frozen) the app. Go to your application manager and see if they are there or not.
You can remove all apps, but I don't think there's a 1-click way to do it. You can either uninstall them 1 by 1 or start from scratch (factory reset) and uncheck backup/restore in settings.
Thanks for the tip. This still doesn't help. What I did was go into my Play Store, delete every app that was just sitting there, apps that I had previously downloaded before on previous phones. I then restarted my phone, go back into the app store on a computer that I never downloaded anything on and it still shows that these apps are installed on my device, without the option to uninstall on the web on the computer.
I'd like to think I'm tech savvy but this one has me scratching my head.
well playstore does not have a feature to remove it from your account directly.
cnet had an article on it and it should have updated after you deleted the history of those apps . unless google changed something again.

Yeah that method no longer works.
I have an the Recipe Keeper app which I pay pro for. It has stopped syncing. When I sign out it is as though I haven't and I can access all the recipes as if I was signed in. I have signed out, then uninstalled it, cleared my cache and then reinstalled from Google Play. When I open the newly installed app I am already signed in even though I signed out before uninstalling it. Any ideas what is causing this?
