1. If you say you do not have a separate Gmail account on the list, that means your phone is not really connected to Google (in it's real sense) - So forcibly closing Gmail and the other Gapps won't really have any effect. (I'm assuming when you have a data connection, your EDGE/3G/WIFI icons do not really turn green from the regular white.

When you first configure your phone, you should ideally configure your gmail account first (so you get access to Market and the other stuff as well). You can then disable Sync on Gmail and add 2 accounts in the default mail app to send/recv email.

Do a Nandroid and get rid of all the accounts (may do a factory reset)

Start with adding a google account and you should be set.

2. You will not have that problem unless you Wipe your data via recovery. All that will happen is you will start fresh with adding your primary Google account
[Nexus One General] mister wiggles:
so far i've tried the following (without success):

- removing all accounts from sync list (except the main google account which i can't remove unless i do a factory restor).

- toggle 3g/2g

- logging in with a new google account

- attempt to login via Wi-fi without SD card and/or sim card

- trying old passwords (i thought i might have been entering the wrong PW, but i verified by logging into my gmail account; i'm sane)

- holding my breath and crossing my fingers

- performing a wipe of the phone memory (still can't login with either new or old google account).

Logging into youtube (linked google account) won't work b/c im in china. Initially i thought the hiccup would be due to china's great wall, but i've used this phone here for 8 months and changed my google PW successfully in within. I'm truly at a loss.

I'm still getting emails via default email program (yahoo/gmail accounts).

The internet works

Whatsapp works

And most importantly angry birds still works. :)

Maybe if i can find a way to update to Gingerbread, this issue will miraculously disappear.
[Nexus One General] chetanthaker:
Hi.

Did you try removing the Email app from the Device Administrators?

Maybe that's the reason why you are unable to un-link your Gmail account

Settings > Location and Security > Device Administrators

Uncheck the Email app (screenshot) and try
[Nexus One General] mister wiggles:
i don't have the option for my email under device admin list :/

the really odd thing is, i can't log in to my TF101 either...even after restoring back to factory settings. I'm convinced its either Google or China that's punishing me.
[Nexus One General] bassmadrigal:
Well, with you wanting to update, are you wanting to update to a stock Gingerbread version, or to CyanogenMod's Gingerbread version?

If it is the latter, just go download the latest version 7.1.0. The best way to upgrade is to backup all your apps and app data with an app like Titanium Backup. Then perform a nandroid backup (basically a snapshot of your current system) and wipe the /system partition and perform a Factory Reset/Data Wipe. Then install CM7 and the latest gapps (found from http://goo-inside.me/gapps) and reboot the phone. Once you are in, try to add your google account back to the phone (hopefully it works with a completely blank slate). Then connect to the market and get Titanium Backup back and restore all your apps and app data.
[Nexus One General] mister wiggles:
I'm not sure if it's a default security feature from google, but 24 hours after i changed my password and it let me login to my account again...However i'm having issues logging into Gtalk.

Thanks for all your help. Now let's see if i can get it running Gingerbread!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autumus:
Ok,Here me out I know this has been asked but I have a different situation and reall y need input as of right now I've read so many reviews and heard so many diff opinions I just want some help on here.

Ok so I bought the shift 11 days ago and realized while I have no problems with it I do want the most out of my upgrade, that being said I turned my attention towards the nexus S, also by the way I only wanted to spend 100 dollars no more than that or I would've gotten the Evo 3d or some other dual core awesome phone. Anyways, I know I would give up the hardware keyboard but feel this is inevitable and something I will eventually do. However the NS has a faster processor, better screen, bigger screen, no crap sprint apps you cant get rid of and a forward facing camera which is a big positive for me.

Heres the deal though I never go against reviews and all the stats say that the Shift wins by like a whole start on every review site. That being said a sprint tech said they have more returns on shifts than the NS and that he loves his NS. So I go in considering the trade and the salesman comforted me saying he wouldn't make the trade. I took his advice then got home and thought well of course the salesman said that it'd be cheaper and they'd have to refund me about 50 bucks and a hundred in the long run. Also I read it has bad wifi problems is that true? I'm sorry for the disorder of this post, I'm just extremely frustrated and don't have much time.

SO I know this has been long, but in eveyones opinion what would you do? i know the NS feels cheaper but I mean does that matter? With a nice case, a zag full body cover and insurance should that matter? Also, the 16gb no sd card thing doesn't bother me I don't think I'll ever and never have exceeded 4gb.

I only have 2 days to decide.

Thanks everyone in advance
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
Idk about the wifi or reception issues since I have the GSM version but the nexus s is much better than the shift in every way unless u like hardware keyboards. Its not as flimsy as everyone makes it seem, its a really solid and well built phone. easy decision.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autumus:
HAve you rooted it? I really don't want to but heard that the reception was fixed with last upgrade BUT they also got rid of the free hotspot which sucks. Do you use the forward facing camera?? THis is a key feature to me I really want to be good. Thanks so much man I just don't know I really appreciate any input.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
Yeah I rooted it since its so simple to do. Im running stock with a different kernel. Yeah I've used the front facer for Skype and gtalk, works well. I can't comment on the update for sprint because the update for GSM phones didn't stop the hotspot feature. But flashing a different rom will fix that for you and its really easy to do on this phone so you won't run into any difficulties.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autumus:
Geez thanks so much seriously. I'm a noob at the concept of rooting my last phone was a shift and I couldn't stand it. I read the shift rooting info and was like no theres no way I can do this. Thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autumus:
OH and one last question it seems you can't push emails to it other than gmail is this true? I can't imagine this being true and the sprint tech said you could, just want to confirm with someone other than a sprint tech.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malikadnanm:
I only have Gmail and hotmail accounts. There's a Microsoft hotmail app that just came out that does push email, I think yahoo has an app too. Im not sure how the built in email app works but I'm sure that does push as well.

No wifi issues, or any other for that matter.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elite11b:
No reception or wifi issues I promise you. Return ur phone to Sprint and go to Best Buy you'll get the Nexus for free. Honestly would rather have this phone over the 3d or the photon. You won't be disappointed.

Edit, Best Buy is also selling the photon for 99 with the upgrade as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autumus:
wow man thanks so much, unfortunately the best buy thing is only for NEW two year plans not upgrades womp womp still they'll have to give me 50$ back for what everyone seems to think is a better phone thanks so much to everyone any other comments are much welcomed I'd really like to hear anyones experience with the forward facing camera
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autumus:
WOw thanks all so much, and all other comments much welcomed, I'd love to hear any other experiences with the forward cam thanks!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braneless:
You could always just sell the Shift on eBay and buy a Nexus. I paid $225 for mine last week and I'm sure the price will drop even more in the very near future.

yea I think it will have ics after a month or two after the nexus prime comes out, but it will be the first single core to get ics. im pretty sure most of the single core phone wont even get ics but i could be wrong. lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Autumus:
Do you think it will be able to properly run ICS? everything I've read says yes and that most likely hardware acceleration will actually make the NS faster and better, do you all agree with that?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amebiasis:
I was in ths same boat as you. I came over from a hero read all ths reviews yada yada yada. I had no idea about root or anything. After doing a little but of reading I was able to root and Get the wireless hotspot back without any problems. Reception isn't bad at all on my phone, and I'm on wifi allll the time ABC it gets the sans signal strengths as my viao. As you said no bloatware to is great, along with knowing besides prime nexus a will get ICS before other phones. I had an eco for 3 days in a trial before the ns4g and am happy I switched. I am on the sprint network, and live in CO and even with where I work in the mountains hardly ever drop calls same with my widest nexus service reception is still great and fast enough to video chat which we do often and love on our phones using the front camera. Hope that helps!

A few days ago i changed my gmail PW. Now the android features on my tablet won't work (gtalk, market, etc). When I'm prompted to enter my PW, i get a network connection error message. I've tried 'force stopping' the gmail, and google apps, without any luck. I have restored tablet to factory setting and even created a new gmail account to try but i can't login.

The browser works fine so I have ruled out the possibility of wi-fi connection. I would really appreciate some input.

If memory serves me correctly you'll be fine if you didn't root the phone. You should only be able to put CWM when the phone has been rooted.

If you need, you can always odin back to stock just in case!

Good news. I never rooted my phone. I skipped that step. I did not know I had to root first. I was trying to do it afterwards. It was so complicated that I gave up.

If you never rooted your phone than you already have stock. You don't have to do anything.

well, the problem is that every time I reboot the phone I see a boot splash that is not supposed to be there.

Any help on that?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HaloMediaz:
Just Odin back to stock. You will have a factory phone as it came when you bought it. You will the just have to upgrade to 2.2 again :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Mohammad_Adib:
Here is a great resource where you can learn a lot about the setCPU app and what all the features actually do.

It is very informative and in particular, this is what appealed to me:

"The Advanced menu allows you to tweak the finer aspects of certain CPU governors. It is only activated when you choose the ondemand or conservative governors.

Sampling Rate - An interval (in microseconds) at which the governor will poll for updates. When this happens, the governor will decide whether to scale the CPU up or down.

Up Threshold - Defines a percentage from 1% to 100%. When the CPU load reaches this point, the governor will scale the CPU up.

Down Threshold (conservative only) - Defines a percentage from 1% to 100%. When the CPU load reaches this point, the governor will scale the CPU down.

Ignore Nice Load - If this value is "1," the system will ignore "Nice" processes when deciding to scale up or down.

Powersave Bias (ondemand only) - Setting this value higher will "bias" the governor toward lower frequencies. This is a percentage, where 1000 is 100%, 100 is 10%, and 0 is 0%. The ondemand governor will scale the CPU to a frequency lower than its "target" speed according to this value.

Freq Step (conservative only) - Defines how much (as a percentage of the maximum CPU speed) the conservative governor will increase the CPU speed by each time the CPU load reaches the Up Threshold.

Choose the "Set on Boot" checkbox to apply advanced settings when the phone boots. This option is completely independent of the similar option in the Main tab."

Thought i would post this to keep people informed.

Also, you can save battery with higher up thresholds ;D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
I remember seeing this info at http://setcpu.com link mentioned in the about tab.

Higher up thresholds are not always good. It is better to have processor stay in 1200 state at 50% for 2 seconds compared to staying at 800 for 5 seconds at 100%.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Mohammad_Adib:
WHOA theres a setCPU.com? wow
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Yes sir. It explains each and every option in the app, plus has a changelog too.

Edit: I saw the site u mentioned. It is a copy-paste from the setcpu.com site.

Ok, I've been on Android since the early G1 days. Next had a my touch slide and now the my touch 4g. I have been thinking about getting an iPhone 4s because I have all Macs in the house and an iPad. They just work. The iPhone sounds good because of the interaction between it and my network. Streaming, etc...

I like Android os and was thinking about the galaxy s2 or maybe the upcoming necks prime. The thing that bothers me with android is a lot of fragmentation. I know the prime would be the best because it would be upgraded earlier than everything else, plus ICS coming with it. But the allure of the phone working well will my network sounds good. Plus, face it, androids music apps aren't that great. But I just can't decide. Anyone have any real time with either. No fan boys, let's have an honest comparison. Thanks
[Off-topic] z33dev33l:
Tbh, if you aren't a major customized android just falls short. I use my phone for games, music, movies, and interaction. For that I chose wp7, I likely would have gone iOS if not for the tiny screen and ugly UI but if you use apple products for your other devices then I see no reason not to go the iPhone route and the 4s is going to be sweet once they release that infinity blade sequel.
[Off-topic] ph00ny:
I just have to ask, what doesn't work on your android device?

As for iOS or Macs, lion upgrade was a mess and my experience with the ipad hasn't been that stellar. Lot of apps just do not work or closes without an error message and this includes the stock browser. I've actually avoided ton of apps purely because of numerous complaints about latest apps not running properly (ie EA games, half dozen document viewers, etc)

Don't like the force closes and that kind of stuff. And updates never come. Custom Roms, sure but half the time they have problems. Just not sure. I like iOS but the small screen size and lack of sd slot bother me the most. Build quality is great though.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astevens54:
Is the GTAB dead (or more so the Android)? The development of new ROM's have slowed and the long wait for video drivers and the release of more code so we can run HoneyComb one has to wonder. The very thing that makes Android product so great begs the question to be asked. It makes one wonder why a supposed open source code appears to be the held from it's users. The day of Android may have peaked too early with the stagnation of it's OS and failed promises. I have never been an Apple fan, but they do work and well. It has made me wonder if it is time for a change.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necromonger89:
I don't think its Google withholding the source. It is the manufacturer of the product/device that dictates how long their product/device will be supported. Viewsonic would need to work on getting it working or ported to the G-Tablet and release the drivers etc needed to for devs here to work or create custom roms. So far the only way to do it is to build it from scratch.

I don't know much about development, so I apologize if I am incorrect as to the process steps. Don't give in to Apple though. All of their stuff is overpriced crap that gets replaced the next year or less than a year later, then they expect you to pay for the newer product to get their newer features. They haven't even released a 4G device or try to rework with Adobe for flash support. If you look at Android devices, popular manufacturers try to emphasize on releasing hardware that is ahead of its time, they won't make your device obsolete by the end of the year.
