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.

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

Hey All,
Had the desire for a couple of weeks now and I must say I'm impressed with it, as most of you are as well.
I've come across the following very irritating problem though:
My primary e-mail address is hotmail. Been using it for years and years and I've never had the need to change to gmail. Having switched to android now I understand that I can't sync the phone to hotmail. I have it working on pop which is 'fine' but I want proper syncing of mail and calendars which is not supported.
Fair enough, I thought this was the time I'm supposed to switch to gmail. When I booted the phone up for the first time I was asked for a gmail account for google maps, etc. and I just used one I had created a while back. Now that I'm looking to migrate to gmail completely in order to benefit from syncing, etc. I want to change this e-mail address to another gmail one.
Has anyone managed to do this without doing a factory reset on the desire??
I've tried:
i. Changing the gmail password from a pc and rebooting the phone - it just says it failed to sign in and prompts for the new password, won't let you change e-mail address though.
ii. Clearing all cache's from google related application - gtalk, gmail, maps, gapps, etc. - This doesn't work either as somehow the account information is still held.
iii. Creating a secondary e-mail address and try get everything to use it instead then remove the primary one - didn't manage either. I changed google maps, gmail and the calendar app to use the new e-mail address but it still won't let me delete the other one as it says it's being used by some other app!
Any help would be much appreciated... I really don't feel like going through a factory reset and installing everything again!
Thanks!
Go to "Menu" - "Settings" - "Accounts & Sync", tap on the Google account en tap on "Remove account". (Go back to all accounts and you can add a new Google account.)

On this subject, my advice to anyone is to get their own domain name and then use Google Apps for Domains.
At present this is what I do for my email, but if in a few years time something better than Gmail comes along, chances are I can repoint my domain to a new mail service and thus keep my email address in perpetuity.
Regards,
Dave

Forgot to mention I tried this as well but it won't let me remove it as it says the account is being used by some application
Really frustrating!
I got this same problem as this old post, but can not find the solution....does anyone know the answer as time has moved on and maybe it is an available solution.
My issue is that I just flashed LeeDrOid 2.3b&c to my Desire. I entered my HOTMAIL e-mail details as the first address at the set up prompt. Now i can not findout how to delete that account.
It seems that the whole Android E-mail setup and operation is not really as good as Windows Mobile! or its operator error ;-)
For my Sync'd HOTMAIL I'm currently using TouchDown and set the server name to 'm.hotmail.com' this thirdparty software allows full syncronisation to my Hotmail account both ways including any folders that i choose, apart from the deleted bin on my Webmail does not get emptied if i delete all from the TouchDown application on my Desire.
On my Gmail i have created my account in the Exchange option and used m.gmail.com for the server, whilst this gives me a view of all the account folders all of them show "no mail" even though i have set the Receive days to 30 days and know that I have e-mails in the folders that are newer than 30 days old.
I really would like a fully operational integrated IMAP set up for both my Gmail accounts (i have 2 account) and one HOTMAIL account, ideally using the built in Gmail and "standard Mail" programs that come with FROYO Sense.
So anyone know the answer to achieving this?
i) How to delete my original Hotmail account entered on start up of my new ROM.
ii) Is it possible to set up withing the Sense builtin applications for Exchange Gmail and also for Exchange Hotmail so that i can do away with hte TouchDown application?
Thanx for any assistance on this.

Same problem here, still no solution
Work around for second gmail account
THere is a work around for this problem. Go to youtube application and login to the second gmail application you want to setup. Now go to general accounts app and you will notice that you can easily add the second account (in some cases android would have automatically added the google account).
Thanks, the trick worked for me but the defy still refuses to sync my contacts & emails
Can someone help in using my gmail account on android?
I had setup my gmail account on my android few months ago, when there was no 2-Way Password verification.
But now, I have setup the 2-way password verification method, which resulted into different password for this gmail app.
Now when I am opening gmail app. on my mobile, it's showing me same old messages as the password for gmail app is changed now.
Can someone help in changing the password which I set earlier in my Gmail App.
When I am removing my gmail account, it says, this is the Sync account, which can't be removed until you set the phone to factory settings, which will remove all my stored data on phone.
I'm in trouble.
Try uninstalling the gmail app, and re-install it.
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..
Sent from my HTC Desire S
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!
Ciao,
I had to hard reset my Lumia 640XL with WMobile10.
Now I have to fix some problems, the most urgent and important for me is to synchronize the Google / gmail account.
Before the reset it worked, now I can't.
From Setting, I try to add the account, but everything crashes after entering username and password.
I remember that in the past it had already happened, but until yesterday it worked for me.
Can any of you give me suggestions?
I also tried adding an IMAP account, but it always stops.
From the PC, I gave the OK to Google's notice of a new mobile phone that would like to synchronize with the account.
I would at least like to understand if it is my problem or if it depends on Google and / or Microsoft.
