Hello, I have a Lumia 640 running Windows 8.1
As you can see in the screenshot, my google account keeps syncing non-stop, i can't stop it, neither can I delete it. The google mail icon dissappeared from my homescreen.
How can I delete my google account without a factory reset?
Thank you very much!
you tried disable internet (network), turn off and on phone?
also check permissions to access google account and remove if needed

Hm, suddenly my Calender app don't work. I start the app and get the msg "No Calender in use" (Or something, I have a norwegian phone). In settings there is no "Calender" to choose...
How can I get it to work again?
My Google-account don't seem to have "Calender-sync" thing...
Don't know if you tried this but you may want to remove and add the google account again so that it can sync your calendar.

Can't remove it, but I added a second Google account, but it didn't help...
Only thing I can sync from google is Google+, contacts and Gmail...
Hi,
Previously I was using a Dell Streak and I was able to disable contact syncing with my Google accounts.
Actually I have 2 google accounts and I wanna sync only contacts with one of them.
On Galaxy Note , I couldn't find the setting to disable contact syncing with one account.
How can I do that ?
thx.
Hi,
I really need a solution for this because I've duplicate contacts now.
Any idea on how to delete contacts from one Google account on the phone ?

Go to contacts--Options--More--Accounts
Select the account you dont want your contacts to be merged from. Uncheck "Sync Contacts"
Hope that helped.
Cheers
thanks. that option disables further sync of contacts from that account but it didn't delete the contacts coming from that account.
How can I delete existing contacts of that account ?
Also, I need the similar for calendar. Is there similar option ?

All'ite. Why don't you do this?
At this step you have disabled syncing your contacts to an account;lets call that account GAcc2. Lets call the account that you would like the contacts to be synced/Displayed from as GAcc1
Now you want to delete the contacts that have been synced from GAcc2.
So Go to Contacts--More--Display Options--Accounts and select contacts to be displayed only from GAcc2(i.e. uncheck the contact boxes for GAcc1). After this step the contacts that are displayed are only from GAcc2(the one you don't want). Simply select all the contacts and delete them. So this means we deleted "ONLY" GAcc2 contacts.
After this step again go to "Display Options" and under accounts select GAcc1.
and voila you will have only GAcc1 contacts left.
Do the same with calendar.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
thank you. that's a good idea.
But when I delete from my Note, is there a risk of deleting them from Google acct GAcc2 ?
Also, some contacts are coming from both Google accounts. When I delete them, will I lose them from both accounts ?
And, how can I do that for calendar ? I can't find the correct app...
thx
Keep Auto Sync off, that will niether sync mail/contact/calender, when you need to sync it manually, just press on desire item n it will sync for that time only.
Further Now you can get Gmail with setup of Email application separately.

No that would be not an issue. Remember at that step you would have switched syncing to GAcc2 as "off". Just make sure you don't click "Merge with google".
If you are really scared and want to be backup proof i would suggest this;
I'm sure you would be having windows installed with Microsoft office. Microsoft office would have an app called microsoft exchange. Create a dummy account in exchange with a local Dat. Then go to google and search for tools to copy google contacts to exchange. There are plenty. Once you are done with that you would have a backup of your contacts. Similarly there are plenty of tools to do the reverse as well i.e. Microsoft Exchange -->Google server; this way you can restore it too.
Regarding the calendar its the same thing bro.
Browse to Settings-->Account and Sync--> select the account that you dont want calendar to be synced from-->Uncheck 'Sync Calendar'
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
THis post intended for people who use Exchange
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
To prevent your Google Accounts showing up in an Exchange Server minded device, uncheck autosync.
Create your Exchange account first, sync
Uncheck autosync
disable Wifi (your device must have slow connection)
Then add your google account.
Press Sync, but be DAMN fast to go to the account settings and quickly
uncheck the Contact,Calendar.
This way, you can have a fully Exchange server minded device, without
any junk from Google Downloaded, with Market access.
Is there anyway to remove my Google Account on a rooted device? I usually do it in settings on my phone but clearly we don't have access to that...any ideas?
Figured it out, anyone needing to do this just delete this file.
/data/system/accounts.db
Note that will delete your email accounts and such too...not a big deal but you have to set that up again.
Install AccountAndSyncSettings.apk found in my google talk thread. This unlocks the stock android account page that amazon removed and use the free sync app from the play store to access the accounts page. You can remove accounts from there.
On a side note, I did have to install Gmail to properly turn on sync, it's in the Gmail settings page. Just installing Gmail without turning on sync won't push your gmail to the app.

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.
Anyone else having trouble syncing contacts through google? I am on MIUI 9.6 China ROM, and I have installed the Google Contacts app and Google Contacts Sync from APKMirror (August 7th Version). Currently, when I try to restore contacts, it says that "No contacts are backed up to this account." However, when I go to Google.contacts.com, I can see all my contacts. Is the restore within the Google Contacts app searching a different location for the contacts? Thank you.
delete the gapps you installed manually and try the GoogleInstaller_V3.apk, for me contact sync and everything google related is working fine.

Is that the one that comes from the Mi Store when you search "Google"? I tried that one, but it didn't have contact sync.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850489460
i used this and it included google contacts sync app (and its working fine)
install everything (except playstore), playstore just download, decline install - reboot - install missing playstore.
Are you already install Google contacts too from play store? If not try to install it then turn on the sync
Had this problem as well, but fixed it. Make sure to set permissions for both the Google Contacts app as well as the Google Contacts Sync app.
This is the step to sync contacts from Google account to phone.
1.Open your device's Settings app .
2.Tap Cloud and Accounts.
3.Tap Accounts.
4.Select Google (If you have more than one account on your device, tap the one you want.
5.See if the option to sync contacts is enabled.
key here is to go to the App settings, and make sure all the permissions for Google Contacts Sync are checked, also change Battery to No Restrictions
What finally worked for me was to follow the instructions to download Googleinstallerv03.apk mentioned above... but when going into Account -> Google Account there was no "Contacts" setting...
BUT I went into Xiaomi's Contacts app and in there I chose to sync contacts from a mail account. Gmail was one of the options. I had to sign in again and now I have The Google account and a IMAP/POP3 account pointing to the same mail but it was able to sync all the contacts AND in Settings -> Account -> Google Account now it says "Contacts" and it syncs correctly..
So that worked for me on a Xiaomi Mi CC9 bought in China with the Chinese stable ROM
I couldn't get this working on my Redmi K20 Pro...
I used the Contacts app's bluetooth import feature instead.
I faced to that before, I think you need to make sure you installed a right google service. I found some time the google installer install a wrong google service, you may try to fix the problem by re-install the google service. hope it help!
You can also restore contacts from device directly.
Step 1: Enter the "Settings" on the device.
Step 2. Choose "Accounts & Sync" under the "Settings" section and elect the "Add account" option.
Step 3. Tap "Google" from the list and then follow the prompts to proceed to the next step.
