Really?! Return phone to factory default? REALLY?! I just want to switch profiles!

Hola lads and lasses,
So I originally set my Epic up on my personal gmail account. Four months later I'd like to move over to my GApps account but in order to remove the gmail it's saying I have to return the phone to factory default. A couple questions. Really? I can't just switch and keep both? Why (or is that moot)? Next question: what's going to happen, what am I going to lose? How should I prepare (I already moved all contacts over to the GApps acct)? Anything else to consider? I have not rooted but will if I must.
Thanks!

I never tried but can't you add the second account and switch it to default first?

My guess is to help prevent app sharing.
Me and my g/f both have android devices. We both got a different set of paid apps. I've tried logging in to her account to get her apps but experienced the same problem.

Good question. How do you set a default profile? I don't see that setting anywhere.

I'm not one to be giving advice here, but I am kinda in the same boat. I have a samsung moment on cricket I bought from craigs that has the last owners gmail account on it. I cant reset the phone as from what I heard ill lose the flash. Ne way, from what I read and gathered, but have not tried yet, is to z4root, then download titanium backup, remove gmail app from phone with tb, then download the gmail app from the market. Then log in and it should re ask for an account. I'm gonna do it tommorow and I can let you know if it worked or not.

Don't know I was guessing (hoping for you) lol. Like I said never tried it but the way they word it when you try to delete the main account that's what it sound like. I came across that when I sold my moment so the reset was gonna happen any way

So what's the verdict GB? Did it work? What did you lose (if anything)?

Hotmail calendar and contacts disappear

Hi,
Yesterday the weirdest thing happened on my JB GNex for the first time.
My hotmail contacts and calendar entries have disappeared. Email is fine and using the stock email client with stock OS and unrooted International GSM version phone.
Anyone else experienced this & managed to find a fix?
PS. Temporarily managed to fix by going to settings/apps and clearing the data but next morning all disappear again...

well my girl friend had the same problem on her Galaxy nexus,
and every time i had to remove the Hotmail account and then add it again for the contacts to appear.
but it kept happening to her phone and it never happened to mine.
but after 2 months of this SH*T i decided to add her account to my phone so i'll have her contacts if they disappear and there is something urgent.
so i did add her Hotmail, and after 12hours this SH*T started happening to me too, even when i totally removed her account and mine.
it happens twice everyday.
the only thing i wanna do now is not just restore the phone to default settings, but totally flash a new firmware and clear all cache and try again but i have a lot on my phone to backup.

Wow that's pretty crap - temporarily, I cleared the cache/data under settings/apps which forces the contacts to reappear then did a local export and now I'm importing them at least once or twice a day...its the lamest work around ever if your workaround does work can you let me know pls?

Me Three
I'm (not) glad to see others are having this problem too.
I may be in the wrong thread running a Galaxy S2, but this recently started happening to me. I thought it was a combination of new ROM/Kernel (recently switched to Siyah 3.3.d) but have had this same problem with CyanogenMod 9 on both the Kernel they ship as well as Siyah. With Siyah running with Dual Boot and just a single ROM.
Clearing App data for Calendar, Calendar Storage, Contacts, Contacts Storage sometimes helps, but this is getting really annoying.
Does anyone know what the root cause is? I've considered going back to Stock Carrier ROM just to see if this keeps up. I've gone back to backups from weeks ago (when I don't think this was happening) and it now happens. Don't know what else to try.

Hey,
i totally restored to 4.1.1 locked back the phone just in case, and it still happened.
then i unlocked, restored to 4.0.4, no rooting, and it still happen.
i think my hotmail account got "infected" when i added my girlfriend's account.
anyone please help.
anyone has this problem with google mail ?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

I've been having this issue too - from searching for answers it appears to be a bug with hotmail.
Some people have reported having success with changing the server to debug-m.hotmail.com, or xxx-m.hotmail.com (where xxx is the three letter server code assigned to your hotmail account). Neither of these solutions has worked for me.
I'd love to know what else people have tried.

I habe exactly the same Problem. Habe also tried setting up a different Server. Anyone Wirth a fix?

When I restored the phone on Fri I did it without restoring settings and no luck there in fact today its gotten worst I lost them already three times - this is sooooo annoying now...if its a bug with hotmail is certainly not affecting my mrs iPhone and probably not even windows phone either.

OMG.
Thank you guys SOOO much for putting this up. I thought it was just me!!!! I was about to post a thread of my own on this!
Yes, I've been having this issue all of last week. I thought it was my phone and or ROM configs. I can confirm that it's happening on all ICS ROMs. I tried 10 different ROMs, all 100% clean installs. As a matter of fact, I just finished loading Paranoid Android ROM, which is a JB ROM, in hopes that it resolves it.
My Hotmail account is set up as an Exchange account. Randomly, out of nowhere, all contacts, calendars, and emails are cleared, and it has to redownload itself. This is potentially disastrous as I depend very heavily on my Hotmail calendar.
Does anyone have any idea what's happening and what we can do to solve it?

After much research, it seems that this is a huge problem with Hotmail that started occurring mid May. I still haven't seen a concrete response from Microsoft regarding this issue.

Last night I deleted the email account under the stock email app and downloaded the free hotmail app from the app store...so far the contacts are intact ...if they disappear again I will update my post.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

OK they disappeared again, apparently the Google settings have nothing to do with this, its definitely Hotmail.
So i temporarily imported my contacts and switched to gmail it was easy because i already use Google calendar i only use Hotmail for email and contacts.
I already tried switching the m.hotmail.com server but i read that some hotmail users where switched to new servers, so maybe this is the problem.

I have seen this happening on my wive's, brother's and my Galaxy Nexus.
All of us have updated to JB.
I have solved this issue with exporting my Live-contacts and importing them to my Google Account.
I will use my Galaxy S3 from now on and my wife wife asked for a new phone, she's more impatient but will get the S3 now anyway.
I think Google does not like Microsoft anymore due to latest lawsuit results.
Anywho I blame Jellbean. :crying:

I can confirm that this is a problem on all ICS/JB ROMs and is therefor not related to a ROM.
now suddenly even my calender items disappeared as well - this is getting really annoying now - will export/import them to google again until MS has sorted this out. anyone reported this already in a MS forum or blog? if not maybe we should do that.

I'm having the same issue here. I was having the issue with the stock ICS ROM on my Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I rooted and flashed the BB Jelly Bean ROM but the problem is still happening. When I delete the account and add it back it syncs. But then the next day the contacts disappear. When I create the account I put in m.hotmail.com. But the next day when I look it says col-m.hotmail.com. I don't think this is the issue, but I also saw comments to try changing to this. It seems to be happening automatically.
Anyway, I noticed that when I go into Hotmail and edit a contact and save it, it syncs. I don't know how long that contact will stay on my phone. So it seems to me that it could be related to identifiying which contacts to synch. I tried changing the synch frequency but that didn't work either.
Does anyone know which Microsoft Hotmail forum we should post this?
- I installed the Hotmail Microsoft + 7 app. I now have my contacts again. I'm not sure if this will work long term. I tried using the app and it crashed, so I plan on continue to use the built in Android mail app. But hopefully the Microsoft app will allow me to synch my contacts. If this doesn't work, I think I'll import them into Google to have as a backup copy.

I've had the app since last night and for me all contacts and calendar entries have stayed put and not disappeared once. I will stick with the app for a while but would like to go back to stock app if/when fixed.

I posted my issue on answers.Microsoft forum. The only response I got was to install the Microsoft App. I also would like the stock android app to get fixed, but I'm not sure if the issue is with Android or Microsoft.

Same problem on stock 4.1.1 Galaxy Nexus
I've got the same problem too on the official stock 4.1.1 Jellybean update. My contacts and calendar go completely missing and removing/adding the account only makes it work for a day or so and then it disappears again. Email still syncs fine.
As someone reported in this thread Hotmail is still working fine with their iPhone, and it is working fine with my Windows Phone... I'm pretty sure this is Google's fault. It makes my phone near useless, that's for sure.
This better get fixed soon! If someone finds or hears about a fix, post it here and let everyone know!

After full restore Play Store does not auto push apps

I recently restored, locked, and went completely stock again to test out a few things and I have realized that the device no longer automatically sends my apps to the phone as it previously did. Is there a setting in the account im missing or anything I can do? Its a pain to have to go download all of them one by one

Yeah, i have this problem aswell.. Anybody knows what's up?

Dude.. ya think that most people don't know that?
I have the same problem. Did a clean wipe and fresh flash today, and suddenly Google Play is not syncing my apps anymore. Does fine with the contacts and everything, just not Google Play. Note: this is on a Galaxy S2, not a Nexus, but I figured it would be good to know for everyone that this does not appear to be a Nexus issue, but a Play issue.

I've noticed it depends on what Rom you use. When I was on the more stock roms it always did it but now that I'm running aokp it doesn't.

My C2P stopped working too. I switched to Chrome2Mobile (I think is what it's called) extention on my desktop, it works again and that ext lets me send links to my iPad too.

i only ever remember this working with gingerbread on my ns4g. from ics on, the restore feature has only been good for wallpaper and wifi passwords

I found a potential fix
I want to preface this by saying I wasn't having the same problem as you all are having when I log back into my google account after flashing my apps start downloading. My issue is that after it started I ended up in area without service(subway) and then half of my apps failed. I didn't feel like clicking each and re downloading them. The only thing I could think of was signing out of my google account which supposedly wipes your info and then signing back in to restart the sync and it worked for me so try it out and let me know if it works for you all. If it does please Thank this is only like my 2nd post here.

Thanks for the idea, seems like it had some potential.
I tried signing out of my google account, then signing back in... and it still didn't help get the auto restore going.

[Q] Where are my notifications ?!

Is there some sort of global parameter in the settings to disable all push notifications from just about any app ?
In fact, it seems as if synchronisation is not happening anymore even though it is activated.
GMail, Facebook, G+, Play Store... all of them.
The only apps from which I receive notifications anymore are GOSMS and Kik messenger.
I didn't freeze any new app lately in TiBU.
Last week, there was an update on the market for an app call "Samsung Push Service".
I wasn't receiving notifications for at least a week before the app was updated and I still do not receive any now that the update is applied.
Current config :
- Samsung i474m on Bell Mobility
- Stock Samsung Jelly Bean 4.1.1 LK4 + root (MrRobinson's)
- Stock 3e recovery
Any hint ?

Sorry if you've already checked this, but in your settings, under device, is your Blocking mode on or off? Because if it is on, it will block your notifications, not just ads, which some think is what this is for.

Blocking mode is off.
I manually turn it on when I go to bed and turn it off first time in the morning.

Do you leave your phone on all the time? If so, you might try rebooting. It may need to reset. Other than that, that's all I can think of. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, maybe someone else can chime in...

It's been rebooted more than once.
If no one else can chime in, I was thinking of first defrosting all frozen apps and, if it doesn't do it, to completely reset it.
That would have to be my last resort. I hate having to reconfigure each and every sync account.
In any case, thanks for your help

Is it possible to uninstall the Samsung Push Update?
Also, just for fun, go in to Settings and under accounts, click Google and select your main account. Are all the check boxes I there checked for the services you wish to use i.e Gmail, Chrome, Calendar etc? Just a thought.

Like I said (maybe it wasn't so clear), the issue was present before the updated was pushed to the Play Store.
But makes me wonder... did anyone else get that update ??

They are correctly set up for all 3 Google accounts I use.
All in all, I already tried/checked/double-checked everything suggested here and even more.

Is there a possibility that Bell Mobility may be responsible in some way? Not all carriers are as restrictive as others, but I'm on At&t and they've got restrictions and their own apps and their own updates and such, which is the number one reason I rooted. :good:
Since you've tried everything else, maybe taking it back to Bell and see if they can reenable something. There's also the possibility that there is a flaw in the phone itself, though I have no idea what that might be.

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure a hard reset will solve the issue.
I'm just looking at every possible way to avoid it.

Do you get notifications on wifi? If yes, then it's a mobile data issue. If not, the saga goes on.

Have you looked into this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2142503
Not sure if it addresses the problem you're having exactly, but it looked interesting. Hope it helps!

That's interesting!
Might as well give it a try later this evening when I get home...

Ok so, over the weekend, I did a few factory resets of the phone and even tried RTBee's solution above to no avail.
What's interesting is that with the phone freshly reseted, it still doesn't work.
It's like something was changed inside the image of the ROM (MrRobinson's stock JB + root) that's used for factory reset or that some sort of magic global setting is applied somewhere.
Unless someone comes up with anything else, I guess my next step will be to try and flash a completely stock Bell ROM from SamMobile using (Mobile) Odin.

Cannot connect to server exchange LG G3

Ok I have a issue i've been trying to fix for the past few hours. Hope some one can help.
I wanted to change the settings on one of my email accounts that i set up through microsoft exchange on my LG G3 and accidentaly deleted the account. So i thought not to bad i wil just add it again...nope that's not so easy. It keeps sayong cannot connect to server when i try to add a new account. What can I do?
It's especially frustrating as I just did a factory reset, got MM on there and just made the email account yesterday without a problem....and now it won't allow me to do that again.
Thanks for the help.

What rom are you using?
Sent from my phone

I'm having a similar issue along with 4 others with LG phones in our work environment. All of needed to just change our AD passwords because of policy, and when we updated our phones with our new AD password... we ALL get "Cannot Connect to Server". The workaround we are using for right now is the Outlook app on the play store. We were all using the native app before. I've tried clearing data/cache on the app, completely setting up my email account again all with no luck. We are using Office 365 and Exchange 2013. All of us are stock rom. Mine is the only one stock but rooted phone.

Thanks to this post: http://www.droidforums.net/threads/...-connect-to-server-to-change-password.288741/
It is an update for Android System Webview, basically I went into play store, uninstalled the update and went and set email up fine on the native app. Then went back in and ran the update. No need to reboot.
