So I have two different gmail accounts on my LG Thrill. (One Business, One Personal)
The market app keeps changing the default account to my business account.
Makes it harder to keep up with updates.
Is there any way to fix this?
Sorry if this is a newb question, I can't figure it out.
When you first set up the phone...which account did you use during set up. mine always defaults to that account and never changes.
If you need to change that...the only way i am aware of is a factory reset ...or manually switch (which until now...i had no idea you could do)

Thats what odd is that my personal account was the one that was set up first, yet it keeps trying to change to the other.

It seems to be a market issue right now. It's happening on a couple of my phones right now as well, including a stock Thrill and CM7 Atrix and X10

Ah ok I figured it was something of the sort because it randomly started happening.

Same on G2x
Oh good, my G2x with CM7 has been doing the same thing. Thought I was going to have to wipe. Hopefully this gets fixed soon.
Agreed. It's really annoying having to keep switching back to my primary account. I don't want to make any purchases until it's fixed. Don't want to risk the purchase going to an incorrect account.

Unless you've added a credit card to the other account(s), then there will be no risk on making purchases under the wrong account.
If you're that paranoid, you can always activate the PIN protection so it forces you to enter a PIN code to authorise an app purchase.
same here!! keep defaulting to the other account... any news on a fix for this yet??

It seems to be every time there is an update to the market app. Just updated again last night. Not sure on a fix yet.
What's the latest version of the market?
Im glad its not just me.. Im having the same problem. The account I used to set the phone up is my main account but it keeps switching to my other account and its fustrating. I dont even have a thrill I have a HTC desire Z. I guess this is a cross platform thing.
It started with me when I updated to 2.3.6, it could be the market though. But I noticed that in sync settings that my accounts are in alphabetical order now, and it switches to the top one. Which is also my google apps business account, and my original account is on the bottom, which is my personal. Rooted Nexus S, stock 2.3.6 rom and kernel.
Update
Market version 3.1.5
In the market, accounts menu, my accounts display in my original installed order. It defaults to the wrong account when it notifies that there is an app update.

same problem here on an SGS2 @ 2.3.5
Same problem for me on my Droid 3 (which is rooted, but running the stock flavor of the OS). I found where some folks on the official Android Market forum have a thread going that describes this same problem. Hopefully it will get fixed soon. In the meantime, I will probably just removed my secondary Google accounts for now, since I rarely actually need to use them.
-SR-
Same thing on my Thunderbolt. I have 3 accounts. my personal (first to set up and my "primary" online account), then my 'professional' account (tied to things like LinkedIn, used for resumes and such) and a third 'random' account used for things like 1 time deals and such.
I had root with stock and running CM7. on both ROMs i'd still have my perofessional account be the "primary" account in the market. frustrating.

For the life of me I can't get some of my contacts to sync to google, instead of just being phone contacts. Any idea how to do this? I'm trying to get the contacts of a 2.1 sense ROM to sync to google so they will appear on my AOSP 2.2 setup. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my HERO200 using XDA App
I haven't used 2.1 since before summer, so I'm rusty with it, but when you edit a contact, can't you change whether it's saved to the phone or Google account?
I haven't seen that option anywhere. Ive been using aosp but nanded back to see why I was missing contacts and didnt see that option...

I am in the same boat...haven't used 2.1 for quite awhile, but I know there is an option somewhere. Positive.
One other way, if you absolutely can't get them to switch doing it on your phone, add them online and delete them from the phone (the ones that are phone contacts). But I know the option is there to change them somewhere. Maybe I will flash back just to find out where
Give those contacts a email address, even if its a bogus one. They will sync once you do that, or at least they did on mine.

OK guys here is the Galaxy Tab Email App. It has a sweet new look and has the dual pane in landscape mode. I have been using it on my Epic today and it is sweet! The font is a bit small but its obviously meant to be seen on a larger screen. Just push the Email.apk to /system/app and then reboot your phone. Make a backup of your current email app in case you want to use the original email app instead! This is for Froyo only!!!!
Enjoy :~)
TIP: I use Root Explorer to do all this work, it is the best couple of bucks i have spent. I have not connected any of my Android phones to my Mac for 6 months to push, copy, backup, etc! I highly recommend it!
TIP: Here is a new tip for you guys that are having connection errors with Exchange accounts! It is a bug that we hope that google can fix it sometime soon!

This is ONLY for Froyo ROMs...

Thanks though. Will try next time I flash a 2.2

ive got nothing against osx, i really think its fun to use and very intuitive, im just against the locked down last gen hardware. if i were just going to dual boot linux and use it for the most part, id just do so on a pc. it just blows me away that they are getting 1500 dollars for the same thing you could build yourself for a few hundred.
you know what they say...
a fool and his money are soon parted.
I've been trying to load my yahoo account and it keep saying incorrect username or password. Been trying it all day, I'm on the Quantum ROM. I believe Its the same thing. But I know I'm putting the correct information, Was just wondering if you knew why it was doing this?
couldn't you just install the email.apk and have access to both this new email app and whatever other one your phone came with?? that would make things easier so if you didn't like this one you could just uninstall it!!

It tells you there's an email.apk already.
Anyways, I went into terminal, typed su
Cp /system/app/Email.apk /sdcard/
Remount rw
Rm /system/app/Email.apk
Cp /sdcard/download/Email.apk /system/app
And it works flawlessly and loving the multiple delete option

I keep getting a cannot conbnect to server error. It definitely syncs contacts and calendar, but emails don't come through. Anyone have this issue or know of a workaround. Its only with exchange because I test a Gmail account and a hotmail account and the emails definitely come through. Any thoughts or help are greatly appreciated.
FYI running latest Viper ROM and have tested on all other Froyo ROMs with the same results.

i would suggest not using this, the epics screen isnt big enough too view all the options, it cuts the bottom off and even if you go all the way down it still doesnt show.

The only option that gets cut off as far as I know is a refresh button on the bottom which I never use.

I never figured out how to get the multiple delete to work. The new stock email app in froyo has multiple delete now so I have gone back to that for my yahoo mail. Still a nice discovery though.

I'm only just beginning to test, but a new app seems to have been released:
https://market.android.com/details?id=org.watto.program.android.sync.facebook&feature=search_result
Figured it might be useful to those that want to see contact details (not just the pictures).
So far the app seems to work perfectly with only one exception... it sync's the birthday info as "Event" in the contact account instead of "Birthday".
The issue with that is that apps/widgets that track/display birthdays don't pick it up properly.
I sent an email to the dev, new app so may be something he will quickly fix. If not, the source code is actually available on his site, which is nice.
Yeah, I'm using it now, it's working well the only thing is... to keep the pictures synced completely you need to "join" contacts with the Facebook contact being the primary contact. Which usually means that my contacts all have stupid names because I have stupid friends.
So I'm using Sync my pics as well.

Dev has already uploaded a fixed version for the Events/Birthday issue and emailed me about it.
Super responsive and is still working perfectly.
Warning. This app eats battery life. It doesn't close. I'd much rather run syncmypix every couple days then have this running constantly, it was at 26%!

Hrm, sure you're talking about the right app? This sets up a sync service, there isn't a standalone app or anything. It syncs my data and then doesn't do anything for 24 hours (you can pick the frequency).
Anyway, no such issue on my device at least.
That hasn't been my experience. Set it to sync less often

I love the UNL3ASH3D ROM so far, but it altered the account setup. I can only do gmail, yahoo, or corporate sync. This is a big negative for me. Any ideas how to fix it? I need to be able to add an IMAP account by server name.
I'm using a third party app but not that happy with it.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I had the same issue, and currently there is no fix. So I went back to stock ROM.
Not happy as I was very please with the Unl3ash3d ROM. I sent DroidTh3ory a PM and this is what he said.
Thanks, im glad you are liking it. There was a issue with the email app but I do have it taken care of.

I have checked every day on the Unl3ash3d thread for an update but nothing so far.
I thought I was the only one and was going crazy. I started using the K9 E-Mail app, but it was draining battery (possibly)
Switched back to stock rom as well, i loved the ROM otherwise... But I NEEDED the mail app, I was most comfortable with it too, and able to change the settings on it to only sync every 3 hours, which saves tremendous battery
Ya, I am currently using the K9 app as well. Hopefully there is an update soon to fix it.

I can't figure out how to switch accounts in the stock email unless I get a new email on the other account!

OP asked how we'd go about this if we aren't rooted. Curious about this as well.
You can do it via the play store through the webpage.
Says i have hangouts installed but its not in my app tray..when i hit open from the play market hangout app page it opens Talk
Same thing happened to me...just install it from the play.google.com site as @robfactory said above. Fixed.
installed from web to device and rebooted phone
I'll be sticking with talk. Hangouts is a bit......how do I say it..... IT SUCKS:what:

Hate to say it bud, but step one for anything XDA, is root your phone .
Stay on the stock ROM if you want (god knows why, less battery life, slower phone, less secure phone, still the same phone and functionality, but that is your choice to stay on the ROM it came with), but you should add root capabilities. You can stay on the same ROM, only downside is I'm pretty sure there is no way to stay with your current setup, HTC Dev unlock WILL wipe your existing settings, widgets, profiles, apps, etc. But you can flash just the small root package and modify nothing that the phone came with originally. Rooting your phone is required here at XDA (lol not really, I just say that). Anyway, sorry I don't have anything useful to say about the app, but trust me... You want root Besides, you can deny root access to anything. Who is SYSTEM anyway? Why does he have all the powers and I haz so little?
P.S.
Do it.
I am getting this...

I believe the update was pushed today, I saw it in play store as the actual update and it worked fine for me. I got the error message in the previous post once, but restarting the app fixed it. I do get my contact list disappearing quite often.
So far I feel the contact list could use some managing, I miss seeing my talk list and seeing who's online but I suppose I could try it out some more. There is a decent amount of emoticons added, but everything feels very basic and minimalistic. Not quite what I was expecting, could be because it's early on.
All in all, still feels like a beta.
