Account dissapeared? - About xda-developers.com

Ok, i'm not a newbie to these forums, i had an established profile from early 2011 with hundreds of posts in the the HP touchpad, Xperia Play, HTC HD2, Desire Z, Desire, Galaxy S2 and Galaxy n7000 forums on here and a few weeks ago after a weeks absence on the forums i attempted to login and was told my password was wrong! i thought that was a bit odd so i went through the usual process of recovering my password and was told my email address was invalid (i only have one) so i emailed the forum support with details of the problem and they had no record of my account ever existing! I was able to setup a username using the exact same username i had before but now i have to start all over again and have to make 10 posts before i can even get back into the development threads!
Has this EVER happened to anyone else? i still have my activation email from way back in around February 2011 when i first created my account, somewhat bizarrely the same thing has happened with my Twitter account, it's completely vanished with no record of it ever existing yet i have emails documenting my activity on the site
I'm either going mad, or i'm slowly disappearing from the internet, i've worked in the IT industry for the last 11 years and have never seen anything like this.

I think you should ask here..

gmail help???

Hi All, new here...I have a HTC TP2 with Winmo 6.5 installed. Here's my situation, a couple days ago I used to received emails from my gmail account, now all of a sudden I can just send and not recieved any emails from gmail. My yahoo and hotmail accounts are running fine. Anyone have any ideas why my gmail is not receiving??? I spoke to one of the TMobile reps and it seems all they can do is HARD RESET the device. Any help? thanks in advance
I use Seven for my push e-mail, google, yahoo, exchange all work flawlessly. Have you made any changes to your device around the time it stopped working?
no i haven't changed anything on my phone which is kinda weird, I really don't want to hard reset the phone since restoring things is taking a toll on me. I would like for it to be a last resort but on the other hand I might just end up doing it since Im flirting with the idea of flashing to one of the custom roms here in xda. any ideas?
just my two cents... yesterday I discovered that all of a sudden my Gmail account had disappeared from the account selector (leaving only Outlook), I could still see the emails but couldn't reach account settings or nothing
Somehow it returned, but with most settings in blank.. imap and smtp server, SSL options, all were in blank.. no idea why or how this happened, but filled all blanks up again and now Gmail's working fine...
Trouble w/ Gmail after WinMo 6.5 Sprint upgrade
Just upgraded my Sprint TP2 to WinMo 6.5 today. Why this update took so long to come to Sprint customers is beyond me, but overall, I'm pretty pleased with the update, save one problem that has made me "strategically relocate" my phone with sudden velocity...twice.
I've been trying to set up Gmail since this evening, with zero success. I had my Gmail account set up on the device before the upgrade/update, but now...
I've tried every known method to enter the settings, but whenever the device tries to connect to the Google servers, it tells me I need to check my user name & password, even though I've entered both correctly.
I've even logged into my Gmail account on my laptop, changed the password just to make sure I've entered the correct one, & the device still kicks back to the user name/password screen saying the settings are wrong...I KNOW THAT THEY'RE NOT!!!
I've seen several posts from users experiencing trouble with Gmail on 6.5, but these have all seemed to stem from Wi-Fi vs. other types of connections.
I've also installed Google Sync & my Gmail has DL'd to my device, but I prefer to get my e-mail through the normal account setup.
Sorry so lengthy & thanks in advance for any advice anyone may be able to provide.
not sure if it is googles problem or our phones but i spoke to a couple of people with iphones and gmail accounts and it seems that they arent having any problems receiving their gmails. Did windows take a dump sometime this week?

Not sure if this will help, but... when username is requested, you have to type the complete idem, i.e., [email protected]er ... some time ago I had same problem as yours and solved it after realizing that I was including my username alone, without the @myserviceprovider.com part

Thanx, sirgal. Actually, I had tried both ways - one with just the username and one with my entire e-mail address, both to no avail.
However, I say "had tried" because, lo & behold, today just as I'm about to contact HTC tech support to see if 6.5 was causing Gmail probs, I decided to try creating the account ONE MORE TIME. Murphy's Law prevailed and, for reasons unbeknownst to me...IT WORKED.
I did everything the exact same way as I tried yesterday, but this time success. I'm taking a strictly "don't ask, don't tell" approach as to why it worked today.
Thanks again for the suggestion!
I'm having a similar problem hopefully someone can help with. I've setup my gmail account and had it working fine until without any cause I can determine, the accout disappears except for still showing up on the TouchFlo e-mail "tab." When this first happened, I started from scratch and setup "Gmail2" which also worked for a while. The reason I had to name it Gmail2 is that when I tried to use Gmail as I had originally done it tells me that this name is already in use. It just did this to me again and sure enough, I had to name the account Gmail3 this time around. I don't understand why they are "disappearing" nor why the name is still in use and the previous 2 versions still show up on the TouchFlo e-mail tab and nowhere else.
Odd question, or at least I think it is as this is the closest thread to the actual problem I'm having that I've found here or the HTC forums. Thank you in advance for any assistance.

I have the exact same happened to me multiple times in the past. The only solution I found is to restore from a previous backup. Fortunately I backup at least once per week so it wasn't too disastrous but still annoying.
Unfortunately, I haven't ever done a backup (honestly never thought of it for a phone) so that isn't going to help. What I'm hoping for is if someone else has seen this and how to delete the ghost accounts. Thank you wearefree for the help.

[Q] Deleted from XDA for nothing?

I had only posted 1 thread, which wasn't spam in anyway, wasn't against the rules. was a simple question which was eventually answered and solved.
Any reason for me being deleted?
If you give us your user name of the account that was deleted perhaps we can let you know the reason, also try contacting the Moderator that deleted your account.
Perhaps your thread was part of the data that was lost during the recent upgrade.
Probably the poster above me is right. I just went into your profile and saw nothing. Usually, mods can see deleted threads, but there was nothing in there.
Also only 1 user is registered to this IP , was probably lost in the DB crash a few days ago
As I understand his/her account was deleted, so he/she created another account to ask this question, so we can´t really know what was the previous username or the threads/posts deleted
this was my previous username. "wonderboy1".
and my thread was deleted as well.
That means you did nothing wrong. Since you used same username, that suggests it was just lost in the database failure. Accounts also don't get deleted except in severe circumstances, usually,where you requested the delete.
So welcome, unfortunate inconvenience, try posting your question again and get stuck in
Indeed, accounts posts and threads that disappeared and were originally created on or arround 25th / 26th Sept are atributable to the server problem and the restoration of the day old saved database.
User accounts will need to re-created. Thank you to all those who have been very understanding about this and to the one and only guy who told me to "go to hell" - well I got news for you, I'm already sitting in a big firey chair and my horns are pointing straight at you - welcome to my domain!

[Q] Old emails redownloaded - why??!!

About 750 emails from the past 3 weeks suddenly reappeared not just on the DHD but also on my other computers (they were presumably reloaded from the server). That included valid emails as well as spam emails. This is a business email account and it is downloaded by 3 other PCs as well as on the DHD so it's a considerable amount of work to identify the duplicates and delete them.
This has never happened before but has happened twice since I bought the DHD a month or so ago so, although I don't know for sure, I think it was the DHD that caused the problem.
The re-downloaded emails included both deleted and undeleted emails so it (presumably) is nothing to do with the "Delete off server" check box. That is now checked.
I want to know what is causing this peculiar action so that I can avoid it in the future. I haven't found this problem by searching the forum but, if it is there, please give me a link. Any ideas?
Thanks, Brian
(PS deleted from the General forum so reposted here)

Anyone got any ideas? Thanks.

Recover google password

Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?

Question XDA/Chrome security concern on my P6 Pro

Have yet to get an answer to this and was wondering if the community had experienced anything like this or had any advice.
On October 1st I cleaned up my Pixel 6 Pro (from sd main pro to wiping ALL chrome browsing history) so anything I'm signed into automatically logs me out.
The first time I came back to XDA I went to login and someone else's name was on my screen and it showed they had a notification.. I've never seen this before. When I clicked on his name it prompted me to log in again, as him.
Could this be a server side issue?
I believe that's a server side issue

I'll make the Admins aware of this. Thank you.
@Hand76 I can pass on the assurances that we've seen this before, that it's a known bug, that this used to happen back in the vBulletin forum software days too, that this bug doesn't actually let anyone log in under a different user's account, and they're continuing to look into it.
