I changed my gmail account since my old one had soooo much spam. Is it possible to delete the gmail account I first set up with my device without resetting??

Settings> accounts and sync> click in the account you don't want and remove it.
idk if that will remove it as your market default, if not: settings> applications> manage applications> all> market> clear data

The prob is that the account is imbedded deep into the system. You could try to add your other account and then delete it. Just remember all your apps will be linked to the other email

Ya I did add my other and it said the same thing....looks like ill have to just leave it as is til I change roms..I was thinking cyanogenmod but not sure

You should be able to go to the sync setting and turn gmail sync off and make other account default inside gmail app

[Q] I9000 Froyo -- no GMail Storage, where to set what to cache?

In Éclair I could tell GMail what to cache (for example in my Inbox everything from the last 31 days, and all my starred mails) at the Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Gmail Storage, but I've just updated to Froyo, and there is no Gmail Storage, just Gmail app, which can't be told what to cache.
How can I set now, what to download and keep for offline reading?
Really? Nobody knows?

Isn't this in the Labels section of the Gmail app settings itself?
No, I couldn't find anything like that. Do you have it on your device? Perhaps I just didn't recognize it.
Thanks

When I try to add a Facebook account from Accounts & Sync, nothing happens. Clicking on Add Account>Facebook just takes me back to settings.
How do i clear all accounts on my phone without having to wipe entire data? If there is another work-around for this problem, enlighten me ....
Have you tried going into application settings and clearing data on Facebook?

[SOLVED] Re-syncing Facebook contacts?

Somehow, I am not able to get to the screen where you choose to sync your facebook contacts like when you first get that after installing a rom/wiping data.
I can not add a facebook account through accounts and sync. Deleting all facebook data doesn't help it. Please help!
if you open the fb app and go into settings, there's an option to sync contacts

If you can't add an account, it might be because you used Froyo's method of app2sd. Move the app back to the "internal" memory and see if you can add an account back (you may need to reboot for it to show up in the account selection section).

There is no such option in my FB App either.
Is there a solution for re-syncing the contacts?

If that isn't the case, you may not have enough freespace on the device to store any info...
That weird, for me when I go into settings and scroll down I have this.
but just follow bassmadrigal instructions above.

That was just the setting I didn't have. Don't worry anymore, though, I solved it by using an external application. Furthermore, I would just like to say I do not run ICS any longer. I currently run samuaz CM7 ROM and will continue using it until all the major bug and stability issues with the current ICS builds are ironed out.
ICS really is a great ROM and it's gonna be a tough choice between choosing an AOSP ICS build or a cyanogenmod AOSP ICS build. I really "dig" cyanogenmod so that's probably what I'll look forward to.

I didn't use app2sd or something like that. So I think the app is in the internal memory.
And my phone is just 3 days old so it should have enough space.

If just some aren't working, then overall, your app is working, it just isn't always able to find the right person to sync it with. Just find that facebook contact, then click on their picture to get the little popup with email and their contact card. Click on the contact card and select edit contact, then use the menu button and click on join. Find the contact in your normal contact and select that person. This will join the contacts.

Sorry I didn't made it clear: There are some Fb contacts missing, not the link between my contacts and Fb.
So it isn't possible for me to link them, because they don't exist
Is this with the stock facebook app? Because I know if you use third-party ones like Friendcaster, if they blocked the app, they won't show up. If it is the stock app, I really don't know. I haven't seen that issue at all.

Gmail problem

Hello everyone,
I have a big problem. My gmail app doesnt work correctly anymore. I pre-installed it some times but it doesnt fix the problem. I used 2 or 3 apks but all of them have the almost same version. As i said it did work but not anymore.
Using rom: stocklite 7.1
Gmail version: 2.3.5.2
Problem: if im getting a mail it doesnt show me that. It only says no conversation or something like that. The only way im sometimes able to check up the email is the point in the settings important mails.

Thread moved to Q & A section, post I'm the relevant section next time.
Hmmm. Do have priority inbox set up? Have you checked Gmail is set to sync (in settings > accounts and sync > tap on Google account and set Gmail to auto sync)? If you are going to try uninstall it in order to reinstall don't forget to wipe the app data. Try a different app like k9 and if the problem persists you can be sure the problem is with your account and not the Gmail app itself. I hope this helps as I'm not exactly certain I completely understand the problem. Sorry
