What are you looking for, a way to remove your gmail account from your nook?

No I think they want to sign out/sign in on the device.
i.e. if we give our nooks to someone to borrow, don't want them going through our email, just sign out of it, not uninstall gmail.

You probably have to remove the account or you could disable sync if you just don't want to receive mail.

Yeah as far as I can tell, the only way is to remove the account.
Disabling sync wouldn't really work since someone could just go back into settings and re-enable sync.

What I did was to go into settings -> applications ->manage applications, under the All tab go to gmail application and clear data and cache.
Every time you want to access your mail, you'll have to sync/refresh your account.

[Q] Google calendar Sync on Autonooter-ed NC

Newbie here...
I got my Nook Color a few days ago, rooted using auto-nooter 3.0.0
It's running 1.1.0 and so far the experience has been pretty good.
One question tho has to do with syncing the calendar with my google calendars. Right now I am able to sync with a public calendar, but I can't find a way for the calendar to use my google gmail credentials to sync with my non-public calendars (altho when I go into the calendar app -> Setting -. My Calendars the list of calendars that I subscribe to in my gmail account show up, which means to me that it has connected once to get this info).
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I'va the same problem.
Someone know how to resolve this problem please ?
Thanks
(sorry for my english, i speek french)
If you open your gmail app and add your google account again, it will give you the option to sync the calander at the end.

I cannot thank you enough! This is one of the biggest things I was looking to get resolved, and what a straightforward solution! I've modded my DX and feel totally comfortable working with it and CWR, but I'm really struggling with the NC and this is a win for me as I make small steps in my understanding. Thanks again
I installed Calengoo, which I have also used on my iPod Touch to sync with Google Calendar seamlessly

Wohooo! Thanks!!! Amazing!
Keep in mind that to KEEP it synced, you'll need to use Synker or some other similar application. It won't sync automatically. There's a few threads with people saying they've managed to make it work one way or another, but I've never managed it myself.

Mine is actually appearing to sync automatically!
I'll look into Synker though - sounds useful. Thanks for the tip!

So you add an event on the web side and it syncs automatically to the NC? Damnit, why can't I get this to work.... You're using stock B&N rom with auto nooter or other rooting process, right?

Correct. I had to double check this today, and yes, it works! I add something on my computer (using a web browser) into Google Calendar, and almost immediately it shows up in the calendars of my Nook Color and Nexus One.
I'm using the stock ROM (1.1.0) with auto nooter (3.0.0). I followed the instructions above to re-add the Gmail account, and automagically the calendar started auto-syncing! (I have Touch Calendar, but also Jorte and Calendar Pad installed, but I don't think that has anything to do with it?)
I hope you will get yours to work too, and I'll be happy to answer any more questions you have.

multiple Nooks using one gmail account?

So I have one and I bought one for my brother and sister, and I've set them up with my gmail account. Everything works great, rooted it and all done.
So my question is, how can I prevent them from accessing my gmail account and prevent them from making purchases on the Market.
FYI, this gmail account is also synced to my phone which it automatically defaults to my Tmobile account for payment.
**UPDATE**
Figured out the market payment thing, just go to checkout.google.com and deleted my payment methods. Haven't figured the gmail thing out though yet.

Why don't you have them use their own gmail accounts now?
Aye, not sure why not just use their gmail accounts, if they don't have one, it's easy enough to create one surely?
they are actually under the age of 10, so my parents don't want them to have email access yet.
I found a way to do it by blocking Gmail completely using App Protector, which requires a password to access apps that you have blocked on your system.
This will work for now.
In the opposite direction, is it possible to have two separate gmail accounts on the same device?

Can you elaborate on how one might set that up?
Rodney
In the settings of the application you can put in multiple email accounts.
Poke around the options section, it should be readily apparent.
multiple accounts I believe was supported in 2.1+ but I may be wrong.
I have like 3-4 gmail accounts for my own on my phone.
Reason why my bro/sis are getting nooks is to encourage them in reading.
It's a really useful device for kids, reading, music, internet, games and etc.

Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Google
I would recommend that you set up email accounts for each of them, but don't set up the email on their nooks, just on yours. That way, you can purchase age appropriate books for each, but only you are on the email.

Gingervolt email notification

I'm sorry I'm a noob, but I've searched and read a lot and I don't seem to see anyone with this exact issue....
I have a few email accounts. Before I flashed to gingervolt, I had messages from both accounts accessible in the same list and notifications worked for both. Now, I must choose which account I would like to access at a time.
I really can't find any settings to adjust this on the phone. Does anyone have a clue what may be wrong or is this just the way Gingervolt behaves?
Thanks.

If I'm the same as you you mean 2 accounts in Gmail. You will get notifications for both but you have to view each account seperately. I've never seen it any other way.
Sorry, I know I wasn't very clear. I've got a gmail account and then another non-gmail account that I get via POP/SMTP. It seems I only get notified for the account marked as primary and I have no way to change the frequency with which it pulls from the POP server... I believe it's set to around 30 mins, but I can't find a way to change that at all.
Does anyone know how to (using GingerVolt):
1. Change the polling frequency of a POP account?
2. Set the notification to work for both gmail and another account, regardless of which is primary?
Thanks!
Ok... So, I think K-9 mail is going to give me more frequent polling. Still testing....

Glad you're getting it figured out
I thought the stock email client did this... Not the gmail client but the AOSP email client which allows 1 centralized box. You can also specify how often it goes and checks for new mail.

Which is exactly why I posted... I thought those capabilities would be in the mail client after flashing to Gingervolt.
K-9 still seems to be working well enough for me.
Ok... I have figured out the proper imap settings so the sync time is no longer an issue like it was with POP, but I am sticking with K-9. It is really well done. The ability to set the notification quiet time and a unified inbox are worth it alone.

[Q] Option to *NOT* Sync Gmail?

I'm running CM9 Nightly (8/8/12). I obviously need to sign into my gmail account in order to use the play store. However, I don't want to sync anything from that account. The reason is that the tablet is shared by the family and I don't want anyone to accidently send e-mail from my account. I also don't want everyone reading my e-mails. After I signed it I went to accounts & sync and turned off syncing with google. However, my e-mail is still in the gmail app. I tried clearing cache and data on the gmail app, but that didn't work either. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Should I create a new gmail account like 'ryanDONTSYNC' in order to have something to log into that doesn't have e-mail / contacts / calendar items?
Thanks,
Ryan

Note 8 Findmyphone

Hello people,
I have multiple google email accounts signed in from my device. 1 of them is personal (which is also the account I signed in to my android phone) and rest of them are work email accounts (which are shared among my colleagues). Now, all of them are signed in my phone. I have recently discovered that find my phone service can be used from any of those accounts. Which in my case is absolutely unwanted because that means my colleagues can search my location anytime they want. I want findmyphone service to accessible from only one account that i chose from. I would choose my personal account to have access to findmyphone service as this would protect my privacy. Kindly assist on how to do it.
Thanks in advance
Guys this is a serious issue, and im sure there will be a lot of people leaking there location unknowingly to their colleagues or people they share common email accounts with! Kindly come up to resolve this.
If your work google accounts can access your find phone features then you have it set up wrong. Go to Setting/Accounts. You do not want your work accounts logged in there as they are logged into your phone. Delete them from Accounts. Instead you should be setting up the work accounts through your Gmail or Email apps as IMAP or POP accounts depending on which you prefer.

But i did not add those by going into setting/accounts. I added my work from gmail or google drive apps only. They automatically start showing into settings/accounts!

As i already told you. I didnt add my work account from setting/accounts, instead i added it straight from gmail app.
But as soon as i add any google account from any respective app, (gmail or google drive) the same account starts showing up in settings/accounts!
Please let me know if im not clear!
Yeah I got that. As I suggested, log out of those accounts & set them up as either IMAP or POP email accounts. You can do this either through accounts or the email app. Is that not clear?
Sensing a bit of attitude from you so good luck to you. Hopefully someone else will be happy to help you.

Also, That might solve the purpose of email. But how do i use google drive with my work email!?
No worries.
No idea on the google drive issue. I've never used it so not sure.
