Does anyone know of a way to change the email address to which the Nook Color is registered (Settings>Device Info>About Your Nook Color>Account) after you've rooted it? I feel really dumb, but I must have typo'd my email address upon re-registering it, leaving the "m" out of "gmail". So now my BN account isn't syncing with the device.
I know that I can go the long way around and reset back to factory presets, register and re-root, but I was hoping there might be a shortcut to editing the device Account settings. Any ideas?

I have a Att Captivate. I just rooted it. Can I remove the Att address Book that came with he phone without causing problem? I wanted to replace it with the one by Assurant. Please Help. I don't want to start by causing myself problems.
Do you mean remove the default contact program?
AT&T has a backup program that back's up the address book, but if you don't set it up first, it doesn't do anything.
REPLACE
No I mean, can I replace the default address book. It does not have all that I'm looking for in a address book. I would like to replace it totally with the Asurion Mobile AddressBook for Android. But I don't want to cause phone problems that can not be reversed. If I can what do I delete?
there's plenty of storage on the phone and the address book app isn't that big. Just use the One you want and try to ignore the fact the other one exists.
replace
The first step for installing the new address book is to remove all other address books because of conflict. So do I just ignore this step?

maybe provide a link to the app?
I am still unsure what you are trying to do. Android stores data in different databases - There are front end apps that access this data. There is the Contacts application that lets you link contacts from google, phone, exchange, etc.
The only place i have to even see anything called the AT&T address book is under contacts->settings; if i go to set up AT&T address book it is just to manage contacts online and backup and recover. I have no app for AT&T address book - but then i never set it up to start with.
If you do have an address book outside of the rest of the databases, then it is possible your email and other apps won't have access to your contacts - but again, I am not familiar with the app you mention. I can't find it in the app market, or via google.

I am 99% sure he's referring to Asurion Addressbook for Android 1.6/2.0
I am a noob so I can't post a formatted link but the website is getaddressbook.com/
ok, OP [original poster] In terms of removing the stock contacts app.... Use "Titanium Backup" and remove
------[contacts 2.1-update1]
*********BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I tried it and it made my phone unstable...
However, I did find that I don't have conflicts with Asurion ..... So far....
WHatever you do, don't try "Phonebook 2.0" it's the worst app ever.
So im rooting someones nook color and they updated to 1.2 and i downgraded them to 1.1 and for some reason when i try to add the B&N account in the initial setup it says something about it can't register at the moment, etc. So i can't get passed the OOBE therefore i bypassed it by skipping that. But when i went to the home screen for the NC i can't find a way to add the account. Can someone help me to get the B&N Account on this NC? Thanks!
do you get error DAD1202 on the bottom left on the error screen? if so the nook is already "partially registered". as in, their servers say it is registered but it is not associated to anyone's B&N account.
however, this is an easy fix, it requires you to call B&N and have them unregister it and then re-register it to a B&N account that has a credit card and address on file.
Hmm sounds about right, i did deregister the device before i did anything.. But the error is DAD1007, i don't know if it's any different. But i called and they told me call back an hour later as their system is down.
I've had this problem since day 1 whenever running the stock ROM. (It worked fine with Honeystreak.)
Whenever I try to log in to my Yahoo account through the android e-mail app, it says it "Authentication Failed."
Is this a common problem, or something that is wrong with my device? I know there are cases where seeming software issues are caused by something wrong with the hardware, and I'm hoping this isn't the case.
i'm having the same issue. wondering if its because i have free yahoo and not paid? i know with my domain email i can log on, but its not push.
glad i'm not the only one. I have the wifi only DS7. I guess I could see where they might restrict mobile users to this feature...even though they have an app for it
Gonna try to pull down the APK from the market on my droid phone and put it up on dropbox, then pull down to the DS7.
edit: added apk...i can't see it on the DS7 in market, but I can on my phone. Maybe they think it's not compatible? No widgets, but it's a nice clean, quick interface.
Have you tried doing a manual setup? In incoming server settings, change the imap server to android.imap.mail.yahoo.com and set security type to ssl. Then go to out going settings and change SMTP server to android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com and security type ssl.
I had the same problem when first trying to get it set up. Changed those items and no problems.

My delete still doesn't work! I delete something on my DS7, but it doesn't delete it in my actual Yahoo email. Although it marks items as read! I added android before both address (already had SSL on) & I have Yahoo Plus.
Any ideas?
When I registered my new Nook HD+ it adopted my wife's name as the primary user. Apparently this cannot be changed. Can anyone here verify that a full factory reset erases the primary user profile name? I do not want her name on the device.

If you meant "erase and deregister", yes it will remove her name. But if you register again with B&N using the same email address, her name will come back. You must register using a different email if you want your name on it.

Thanks. I took a deep breath and reset to factory default. Then changed the email on the BN account to a different provider. It still came up with my wifes name. Next, established a clean new BN account under my name and a different email provider and reset again. That time it worked. Now busy rebuilding the Nook as I had it configured.
I think it's could be not so easy, as it looks like.
I'm not sure, it's not confirmed, but I have a report from user who says his Nook was blacklisted after (he said "just erase and deregister from a device itself".
So, in order to make a pure reset, you probably have to login to your wife's B&N account, goto Manage My Nook, select a device and Deregister it.
It will delete all of the books purchased on this account, and you will be able to legaly register a device after that.

If the device successfully completes the erase and deregister then it is removed from the account on the B&N server. Then the device is free to be registered to anyone else. However, if it just erases and does not successfully complete the deregister (by not being connected to wifi at the time) then it is still registered to that account and not available for anyone else. Then the solution is to register the device to the same account again and try the erase and deregister again.

If I'm following your issue, when you first set everything up and sign into your shared B&N account, it set's the Nook as 'Mary's Nook' and you want it to be 'Mike's Nook'?
If that is all you want to do, do the following:
After unlocking and seeing the main home screen, tap on 'Mary's Nook' in the top left hand corner, tap Edit Profiles, tap Edit Mary, select the 'Change Name' in the menu, and change it to Mike.
Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me out. I have my work email setup on my phone using their webmail address. If I use the standard address, i am required to have Maas360 installed, which is not an option with me being rooted. Anyways, if I have the email program I use, which is either Nine or Mail Wise, setup for ActiveSync, my business server will catch it and block me. So, I have to setup the email app to scan for new emails every X minutes.
The problem I am running into, is I did not know that I had to have ActiveSync turned off, so now my device is banned when using Nine mail. So, I tried the same with Mail Wise, and got banned again. Now, on my third app, AquaMail, I have realized the problem, and its working great. However, I would prefer to use Nine mail. When trying to go back into Nine and recreate my account, i get an error that my device is blocked. I get the same error on Mail Wise. Both list a different Device ID. NineXXXXXXX and MailWiseXXXXXXXX. Is there a way to change this ID? I tried creating a new ID in Titanium Backup and that didn't change the IDs in the mail apps.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
