I recently changed my gmail password on my computer, but I cant find the setting to change the password in my phone so my account will sync on my phone, without factory resetting my phone. Any help would be appreciated.
Try going to accounts and sync and just add another google account with you new password just make sure you check all the boxes so everything will sync correctly. You'll prob just have to have two accounts like that until you can backup everything and delete the main account.

You should be able to go to accounts and sync, delete the current google account, add new account, then put in the correct info.
I added another google account then synced it, but when i tired to delete the other one I need to reset the password to it said I have to format the phone because my apps on my phone need that gmail account to function correctly....it let me delete my other account I made tho. Any other ideas or easier way to do this? It seems it should be simple to change the password set up in my phone.....
Try opening talk or market on your phone, it well ask for new password.
It is how it works for me..

I got it........the solution was for me to leave 3g on and I got a box to pop after a bit asking to re-enter my password for google because my account could not be authenticated. Hope this helps anyone in the future having a similar issue.
Glad you got it worked out!

i've searched this forum for this issue, and found nothing.
my issue is, for some reason, i've changed my google account password from pc. after changing the password, my desire won't sync with all my google mail, calendar, etc.. is there any way to change the google account setting on my desire to match the new password?
Hi,
Remove and add new. Its 1 minute job.
i've try to remove the account. then there's a pop up says "this account is required by some applications. you can only delete it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). you do that in the settings application, under about phone".
i don't want to loose all my data and apps. is there any way to change the password on my phone without resetting the phone?
Whenever I swap SIM cards in my phone, it always asks for the passwords for my Google accounts again (for security purposes).
I wonder if doing this will help you out with your issue.
Regards,
Dave
thanks for the idea.. i'll borrow my friend sim card to test whether it works...
Does anyone know how to delete an e-mail account that is displayed but doesn't really exist...I'll explain...I have a gmail account that worked fine and one day it just stopped getting e-mails (to the phone). When I went to delete it off my phone it basically told me I have no e-mail account yet when I go to the email tab I can see it. When I try to click inbox it just brings me to the accounts screen, and it does NOT display it. So I had to set up another link on my phone to my gmail account. Now it displays two accounts, one that I can't access and can't delete, and another perfectly working one. Is there anyway I can get rid of it?
I ran the Unread Fix count script and it goes through BOTH email accounts yet my phone doesn't seem to think there is two, it just decides to display two.
This happened to me as well... If I remember correctly what I did to get rid of the ghost account was to create a temporary email account that was not gmail (i just gave fake credentials)... then I reset my device, deleted both gmail accounts, then reset phone again, deleted fake account and finally added credentials for the gmail account that had been giviing me probs. Not sure how important resetting device is, I suspect that the key was adding a non-gmail account. I hope this helps and sorry if my explanation isnt clear... I am still waking up! Good luck.
Hi Every 1,
I have my company gmail registered to my phone
Now I no longer in my old company so I wanted to delete the gmail account
But it does not allow me to remove the account & the error message that I received is:-
"
This ccount is required by some applications> You can only reove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults( which deletes all of your personal data). You do that in Settings, under SD & phone storage.
"
I tried to check and HTC Market is the 1 that keep on asking me to relog my company gmail but this email has already deactivated by company
I could not delete the account yet unable to relog the company gmail
Any 1 can help to share some idea besides master reset the whole cell phone?
Thanks
So my first guess would be... that company gmail your trying to get rid of is also the same gmail that your phone is setup with, if this is infact the case, maybe try adding another google account first, and swaping everything in the phone to the account i.e. market, and google sync, and then try deleting, if that doesn't work, simply add another google account, set up everything on that account, and under accounts and sync, uncheck all of the sync options for the old google account, try deleting it again then, or just leave it there to rot and do nothing
Hi,
Noted your advice
But I could not find a way to switch my company gmail to my personal gmail in market.
This may be 1 of the limitation that Android faced
Just backup everything and do a factory reset. Bwahahahah *evil laugh*
Oopps, I went a little overboard there, sorry.
But that's the easiest way to do it.

after a new account is added, market, menu, accounts, should get a popup, window that allows you to select which account to use. Now you are going to lose anything that you previously had purchased on the other google account, maybe a way to contact google and have them transfer purchases or something.
Thanks all,
But I believe the best method that drpsyko said is correct. Master reset it.
To xx_bluedev_xx,
I had tried many ways but still unable to have any pop outs says for me to switch email
You cant remove the email account used to set up device. Only way is factory reset.

Hi twiztedvvv,
Thanks
Before I factory reset, how should I back up my sms and contacts & email address?

stock messaging app in Sense 3 provides backup option , you can backup your contacts by going to people>Menu>Export
alternatively you can use MyBackup Pro, its v good when it comes to resetting your device
Thanks atifhasan86
I manage to export my phone & company emails address to my SD card
I wonder how to import back once i factory reset it?
I will download My Backup Pro from market after i master reset it cause now i unable to download anything as my email used to set up this cellphone is deactivate
This will make me sound like a noob, but id rather ask.
Yesterday, i put CM7 on my slide and everything works fine except that when i opened the market it asked me to add a gmail account. When i went to settings account.. etc. it only lets me add an exchange account. Does this work for Gmail accounts too? When i tried adding the gmail account, it asks for a Domain. since i just have a normal account i put gmail.com. nothing. nada. didnt work. anyone have a solution?

I'm sort of a noob at certain things too, but hopefully I can help. It should also have a "Google" option under add accounts, in the same place as "Corporate" ( exchange ). Have you flashed Gapps as well? I think that might be the problem, though I think having the Market means having Gapps, so I'm not sure.
What specific rom version did you flash, and did you flash anything else with it as well? Maybe if this doesn't help, someone else might know what the issue is.

You probably didn't flash gapps. CM7 doesn't come with it, if you download it through rom manager it asks you if you want gapps too.
Here's the link for the latest gapps:

Just flash it right on top of your current CM7 and it should then allow you to add a google account.
Hello All,
I am very much new to using HTC wildfire S as an android smart phone. I have purchased this an year ago,though.
I will come to the point with out much discussion.Your help is much appreciated in filing a bug against HTC Keyboard sense or wrong password authentication mechanism.
Step i followed:
1.Day before yesterday, I have rooted my phone and i have got all the data back again from recovery.
2.Once the phone is reset, it was prompting me to set up a new gmail account to perform syncing of contacts and mails.
3.I have given my old crenditals of gmail and the sync worked.
4.Today, I got a message from google that, my gmail account is being accessed from canada maliciously.So, it prompted me to reset my password along with SMS verification code.This made my gmail account login stronger. During this process, I have reset my gmail account password. ( the same account is being used by my htc wildfire S phone).
5.Now, my wildfire S is not able to recognize my new password to gmail account. Neither it recognizes my old password.
6.I have tried different key board input mechanisms to make sure that i am entering correct password.
7.Now, I am exhausted and thus i am writing this post.
Please help me.
I am suspecting as a bug in htc while syncing with gmail authentication servers.
I had faced similar problem a month ago while connecting to facebook from my HTC Wildfire S phone. My new gmail account works fine from the dolphin mini browser.But, it doesnot work from native gmail and facebook applications.

Sriram
Tried with another gmail account.. Now it is working fine.
As I said in my previous post that, my original gmail account with which i had registered my mobile is still not working.
However, I have registered another gmail account to sync with contacts.With my second gmail account, I am able to sync the contacts from google servers.Also, with out a registered gmail account, i am unable to download apps from htc Appstore as well as Android Market place.
Now, I tried deleting my first gmail account, which is not working since the time i have changed its password.It says that you cannot remove the account as it is being used by other programs. Restore phone to default settings.
With out resetting my phone, How can i delete my original gmail account which is of no use.
Thanks and Regards,
Sriram
