I unlocked my Galaxy Nexus, but i bypassed the start up screens that configure the sync of applications, contacts etc...
How can this be configured after? I signed into my google account, but my apps do not download from the market, and contacts do not sync...
Please help
Settings > Accounts & Sync > Click on your account.
As for retrieving your old apps not sure, but if I were you I'd just reset my data so the welcome screen will come back on next reboot.

hi guys,
i'm having an issue with my Desire.
despite having all 'auto sync' options unchecked, everytime i connect to a WIFi network my google contacts start to sync. i don't want this to happen.
when i go Accounts & Sync - and click 'google' under 'manage accounts', all i have is a list of three items within my google account :
1. sync contacts
2. sync gmail
3. synch calendar
and at the bottom of the screen i have two buttons:
1. sync now
2. remove account
i have no checkboxes next to any options. is there someplace else where there would be an Auto Sync setup?
i'm running android 2.2.
any help would be appreciated.
thanks,
ronan
ps. may it be the case that google automatically does it automatically initially, on a new phone? it only syncs after i've cleared my contacts and cache.
i went to settings -> accounts and sync -> clicked on email account i want to remove. i unsynced all of the services that the account uses and clicked remove account. this was the result:

This has been an android thing since day one. Usually you have to reset it now. You used to be able to clear Google account services from manage apps

I just got my Galaxy S3. As usual, when I set up my main google account it defaulted to syncing my gmail contacts and calendar. I sync my contacts and calendar to an exchange server and don't want them synced to my google account.
On other devices I could go into the account settings, uncheck contacts and calendar, then go into the app manager and delete the data from contacts storage and calendar storage and they would all be gone.
When I did this on my S3, the contacts app still shows all my Google contacts. I can't figure out how to remove them.
Can anyone explain?
Thanks!

This should have taken care of the issue. Can you make sure that you go to settings > accounts > your google account and uncheck contacts and calendar sync FIRST and than go to settings > app > contacts and clear data. (Same for calendar)
Also, if you have Google+ (or facebook) installed, it could be syncing contacts too. Make sure you uncheck and clear all contacts.
Strange. No matter what I did those contacts would not disappear. Then I rebooted the phone and they were gone. Seems to be working fine now...
Thanks.
I have a rooted Galaxy Nexus running the Evolution rom and having trouble syncing my Google Calendar. When i make an event in either my phone or my computer browser, the event will not carry over to the other device. I added my exchange calendar and that syncs both ways with no problems.
When i go to settings > accounts > google > my google account, Calendar is not in the list to sync, I see Browser, Contacts, Currents, Drive, Gmail, Google Photos, and Google Play Music (in that order).
I have gone thru the calendar settings to look at calendars to display and calendars to sync and it shows up in there but its not actually syncing. I even tried to reflash gapps to no avail.
Any ideas?

Noticed this same issue after flashing my Xoom to EoS3. I have no ability to sync google calendars.

Check calendar-menu-calendars to sync and make sure it's checked.

Where are you seeing this? there are no calendars available? When I goto settings->accounts->google, there is no option for calendars. When I goto calendar->settings and select the google user id (i have multiple calendars) it reports no calendars available. Now the first account listed does state This account is being synced so your calendars may not be up to date, but its been saying that for a couple days now.

Hi guys, I've got 2 accounts and wants to remove one, can you explain me how to remove email account from fu...king gmail app ?!
at Settings -> Accounts & sync -> Personal (POP3) - when click on 3 dot's got only "sync now" option, theres no remove option, at gmail app cannot find remove option as well.. can someone help me ? thanks
You have to do it via accounts in settings. For some strange reason the functionality isn't built into the app itself. Obviously this means everything associated with this account will be deleted, not just email.
Actually you can go under the google account, and turn off just email, thus keeping play store functionality. Select the google account, and turn off Gmail. note this won't delete the mail already on the phone, you'll have to reset the gmail app to do that, but it will stop syncing and downloading of new messages.
