You know the email they ask you for when you first get your phone. How do you change that email?

I made a new email when i got the phone in the store but now i want to change that back to the gmail account that i use all the time. I dont know where the exact setting for this is.

If you are asking how to have your phone use a different primary Gmail account, the only way I know of doing it is to backup your phone using a market backup app and then doing a factory reset. Enter the new Gmail information then.

Just know that any apps you downloaded will not be associated with the New Gmail account ... and any apps paid for will have to be re-purschased !!
