I have to gmail accounts. Most of my gtalk activity is done through one, which is not my primary sync account on my cappy. I do not want to switch primary sync accounts because it will mess my contact list and calendar. I could not find the answer to this questions in the google forum:
1) Is there a way to switch gmail accounts/sign in in google talk, when one have more than one gmail account?
2) Why the manual sign in is not "manual" it automatically signs me in to the primary gmail account on my phone without even asking me for ID or pass?
Thank you in advance for your thoughts and experiences.
Solved / Solution to Gtalk switch accounts (without factory reset)
All fixed ( Without Factory Reset ).
Root access to /data/system/
and renamed accounts.db to accounts.db.bk
Reboot sgs and market, gtalk and gmail asks for login.
A very man!

I was looking exactly for this! Thanks to all contributors works like a charm!
So does this method let you have one login for the Market app while having a separate login for the Google Talk app? Or do you have to switch back and forth with both apps using the same login at the same time?
Thanks for any replies.

Evening all,
*sigh - i wish google would update their gtalk so that it had multiple logins like gmail app* Currently using Beejive but would like to use the built in gtalk app.
Ive researched around and looks like the only course of action is to system wipe my sgs so that i can login into gtalk using a different gmail account (corporate gmail (setup after i bought the phone)
I installed JVO last night and have root and CWM installed. Also titanium.
Last night flashed gtalk v1.3 but still no multiple login. Apparently the option is out on tablet firmware.
All contacts are saved on gmail account (personal gmail) ready to restore at 1st boot. But not sure i can restore them from a secondary account?!
What is the best course of action so that i dont loose everything/something/?
Thanks for any advice.
All fixed.
Root access to /data/system/
and renamed accounts.db to accounts.db.bk
Reboot sgs and market, gtalk and gmail asks for login, used coporate account and still got all personal numbers on phone as no need for factory reset. And of course all apps are still avaliable.
A very happy boy!
And with no root....?
Any way of doing this without root? Perhaps using adb?

so ???? will that save all my saved apps , whats the process to change my primary gmail to another gmail account ? ,
awnser was verry vauge .
you will have to root and back up all your apps with titanium backup, any app that requires an email address check(meaning it wont work without the email that purchased it) wont work but i dont think there are that many that do that..
then you will have to do a factory reset, set up your new email reroot and then restore apps....
What if you added a second Google account onto your phone with your new address and then just stopped synching the email, calendar, etc from the old one?

Any purchased apps are tied to your gmail account.
I don't know how to move that to a new account, or if it is even possible.
This is probably a question that needs to go to a broader audience than just captivate users, if not straight to Google's support forum.
ok thanks for the help all , i will try posting in a general section ! , apreciate it.
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

Read this thread. I think it answers your question.

I'm on stock 2.3.6 ROM and have a question regarding Google Account.
The one I have and regularly use doesnt have Gmail. So my email adress from Hotmail is my Google login and all other services exept Gmail work fine.
I had no problems adding such account to the phone on CM, but on stock it just repeatedly asks me to register Gmail cause my existing account doesnt have one.
As I understood AccountAndSyncSettings.apk is responsible for sync and accounts, so I assume on CM and on stock there are different versions of this app and 2.3.6 or Samsung one doesnt work in my situation.
Can anyone help me to solve this problem, maybe installing .apk from CM10.1 would help?

That's not the case. Why would Gmail work with Hotmail account.
I just want to add Google Account without Gmail to stock 2.3.6 Android.
As I said, it worked on CM7.2 and CM10.1
Btw, I've deleted gmail.apk, made wipe, tried to add my Google Account again and that didnt help. Accounts settings still ask me to get myself a Gmail under my already existing Google Account

Google account sync all google products (youtube,gmail,maps,playstore... and all of them works with a google account) I don't still understand your situation...if you don't like gmail you can delete gmail.apk but maybe your hotmail account has linked your google account and it's the problem :s
Viper The Ripper, I've discribed my situation and you still want to answer with something unrelated instead of trying to understand what I wrote.
Anyway, trying to change AccountAndSyncSettings.apk from other firmwares now.

I'm using a stock rom without gmail.apk but I've a google account(it's my gmail account too...Google account=Gmail account, there are the same products) and I haven't troubles :s
You haven't a google account set in your device so...
Hey guys,
I just want a confirmation if this problem only exists on my phone or rom. The E-Mail app from sony xperia accepts perfectly my mail account but if I setup a second the app returns to main screen (after mail account assistent completed) and displays my first mail account with a short toast message like "mail account not found! Maybe it got deleted".
Phone: Xperia Z C6603
Rom: Link: [ROM][LB/UB][5.1.1 .222][ v1.5.0 ][ Fully Featured! ] Customized Sony 5.1.1
I think this is up to the new E-Mail app from the latest update. Can someone confirm this?
Thanks!
I have exactly the same problem on my Xperia Z3 Compact (no custom rom). Did you find any fix for it?
Edit: I don't exactly know how I fixed it, but it seems that clearing the apps cache before creating a new email account helped. Also I alternated between creating the account directly in the email app and under Settings -> Accounts...

Yeah found a fix too. Adding an account manually, then add an account with automatic setup (e.g. gmail). After that you can add as much accounts manually as you want and you can delete the automatic setup account too.
I have the exact same problem.
I can add one activesync account (whichever one), but when I try to add the seccond account it just finishes without an error but I can't find it anywhere.
I've tried clearing email app cache but it didn't help.
Same here
I have working 3 email accounts.
Accidentally cleared cache & data in email app. (wakelock detector)
After that I was able to access only one account.
It passes all settings but only one stay's active.
(I have all google services disabled)
Before smashing the phone tried to re enable all google stuff.
After that (phone reboot etc..)
Now I can put how many emails I want and it work.
Now disabled google again and all 3 emails work.
