[Q] Can you change gmail accounts on google talk, seems not possible

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.

[Q] Exchange account related questions

Hello,
I've created a MS Exchange account on my LG 2x. It worked fine - emails arrived, calendar sync worked.
Then it suddenly stopped refreshing. Clicking Refresh in Email app did nothing at all.
I've tried to change the settings, but there is no Account Settings button for Exchange account.
Questions:
1) Why would it suddenly stop working?
2) How to edit account settings for Exchange account?
Thanks.

1) Don't know, any number of reasons, but it happens frequently.
2) Phone settings/Accounts and synchronisation. (You said you tried this, I remember it was hard to find, but it is somewhere in there.)
It's my advice however to ditch the LG Email client completely as en exchange-client, it has numerous bugs. I delete the lgemail.apk and instead push email.apk from CM7. It just works.

ask you admin - maybe there are some changes on server side?
never have used default mail client. mail clients on modacos roms and cm7 works good for me. also for me there is another server address on phone used than in outlook.

There wasn't any changes - all other Android and Nokia phones still work.
I know that I have to go to Settings - Accounts and Sync. There I select my Exchange account, but all I can do is check/uncheck Sync Contacts and Sync Calendar and also Remove Account. No any kind of settings anywhere..

I installed the bloody thing again, and here's what you do.
o Enter the LG e-mail app.
o Press menu
o Press settings
o Press the account name at the top. (I remember this was confusing the first time I used it, it just looks like a heading, not a menu-item.)
You'll find the log-in settings at the bottom.
There you go.
(Sorry for suggesting it was in Settings/Accounts, where it should have been, guess I confused it with the regular e-mail app. It was from memory only - whenever I install a new ROM the lg email client is the first thing to go.)

Facebook account in system settings.

So, not sure what I did, but my Facebook account has disappeared from my list of accounts on my phone. When I go to add a new account, the Motorola Facebook icon is already checked. If I select it, it says I can only have one Facebook account. So, it both does and doesn't think i have a Facebook account. The icon in the list from the Facebook app does nothing, which i think is normal behavior. I do not get profile pics from Facebook in my contacts, so it is not syncing.
Truth be told, this is only an annoyance. I do not want to reset to factory (I have way too many apps to reinstall, which would be more annoying than this problem). But, if anyone can think of how I could manually convince the system to let me re-add the account, any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi, I have exactly the same problem, so I will aslo grateful for help in this matter

I had the same problem, and I did a trick with SQlite Editor
Install it then,
In SQLite Editor you select: Accounts Storage -> serviceaccounts.db -> accounts -> then you delete the line which have "Facebook" in the column "account_pretty_name"
After a reboot I was able to re-enter a Facebook account in the blur app.
And now it works perfectly

This is an older thread, but I'm having the same problem on my new RAZR MAXX (Verizon, unrooted, stock 2.3.6). I have 2 facebook icons under "My Accounts", one that allows me to put my log in info in and nothing else, the second that does nothing when I click it. I am not able to get my calendar or my contacts to sync with facebook and I'm at a loss.
What I've tried so far:
Rebooting
Deleting the FB account info and re-entering it within the My Accounts settings.
Uninstalling FB app (the unresponsive FB icon goes away in My Accounts), reinstalling and rebooting.
When that didn't work I ended up calling the new Google help and the person I talked too ran me through the steps I had already taken and suggested I contact FB as it appears that the issue is with the app. I am pulling the app straight from Google Play, but it would make sense as that is the culprit since it's not syncing with Calender or Contacts.

[Q] CalDav not working for gapps account

After updating to Amber I did a complete factory reset as my "Others" storage was huge.
Then I set all my mail accounts as I previously did, getting all of them working ok (1 outlook and 2 gmail) but the gapps account was throwing errors all the time.
At the end, I discovered that disabling the calendar made it sync; the problem is that I really need the calendar working.
Does anyone know why it's throwing a 801901F5 error if I set up the caldav server to m.google.com and a 8007000E error if I use www.google.com ???
Thanks in advance!

Any clue on this one?

I'd try mail.google.com or gmail.com first. Otherwise I'd start looking at the settings inside your gmail account.

If I remember correctly GApps still provides EAS support (even going into the future). So I'd simply set it up using the Account Type Outlook. The server settings for this can be found using a Google Search.

Can't get New Contacts to sync from Phone to Google

I've tried clearing cache, wiping, reinstalling a new Rom, new Gapps. No matter I try I can't seem to get new contacts which I create on my device to then get synced to my Google account.
*Yes, I'm saving my new contact to my Google account (not to my phone's SIM card)
*Yes I've made sure that Contacts is syncing, and have tried forcing a manual sync numerous times. It says that has synced, and will even download new contacts I create on my Google account (on a computer)
Any ideas?
Running CrDroid 7.1.2
Nexus 6

Which contacts app are you using? Not familiar with that ROM so I don't know if it might come with an AOSP contacts app?
In the google app, in the edit contact screen, right at the top (under the picture) is where it'll tell you where it is saving the contact. Just to double check that account is correct on the contacts that aren't syncing?
In settings -> apps -> contacts app, are the permissions all enabled? Is there more than one contacts app listed? If so, disable the one you're not using.
I think you said you checked this, but in settings -> apps -> accounts -> Google is contacts enabled? And settings -> apps -> accounts -> the 3-dot menu is auto-sync checked?
There's always the age-old; turn sync on/off multiple times thing ☺
The last thing I would try is to remove the account from my phone then add it back. There was a day when that process felt like part of the ROM flashing procedure. ?

First try https://mail.google.com to check if you logged in with the same account on your phone.

I am. Is that a problem?
*edit: I signed out from the browser, and still have the issue.

That was only to check the internet connection and access to your Gmail account.
The post of @ktmom doesn't solve the sync issue. In that case you could try to install the Google contacts app from the play store.

@NLBeev
@jon.s.nelson
I assumed that there was internet available since in the OP it was stated that contacts which had been updated online via a PC were being downloaded to the phone.
The choke point seems to be getting the contacts created on the phone to sync up to google. That's why I focused on app related issues, with the end point being a hiccup in the actual account on the phone.

Yes. The security update of September contains a new Google contacts app.

Good to know. I'm using PN and we don't have an update yet.
