Does anyone knows how to remove or change an gmail account on this phone?
I'm receiveing emails and i wanted to stop it...

The only thing i can think of is to reset / format the phone and then when your done just do not setup the gmail account - If anyone else knows of a better way then you can probably follow that but i suppose this would be the last resort -

Hi,

I use the K9 app for my email (multiple accounts) but I can't stop Gmail app running in the background. I use task killer but it keeps popping up.

I have turned off notifications but it still runs in the background and uses valuable memory until Task Killer gets its.

Is there any way of removing it without going down the 'root' route?

This worked for me. HTC HD Desire.

1. Tap Gmail app - gives list of Gmail accounts on the phone. "Add account" button at the bottom - don't touch this!

2. Tap "Menu" then "Account settings"

3. Tap account to be removed. A "Data and synchronization" page comes up with "Remove account" at the bottom of the page

4. Tap "Remove account" and there it is gone!

Actually, you can erase and register new or another Gmail account, but you have to do a Factory Reset. But if you do this step, you can erase almost anything on your phone, like contacts, photos, messages etc.

I have a simple tutorial how to remove your GMail account on Android Market without doing Factory reset. OK, follow this step :

1. Download Root Explorer from Android Market
2. Explore to /data/system/ and find this file : accounts.db
3. Delete that file (accounts.db)
4. Reboot your Android device.
5. Walla…you can register another account

Help,
I have the galaxy S and it doesn't have Google Apps to clear.
Instead, I have:
Google backup transport, Google calender sync, google contacts sync, google partner set up, google search and google service framework.
I cleared them all and it didn't help.
I can't delete the account even that I have a new one.

There is not an item called 'Google Apps' I think the other user meant to find any Google related apps and clear the data in them.

The other drastic thing you can do is a factory reset or software repair but I don't know what Samsung give you as options for this. It may be worth asking over on the Galaxy S forum for more specific instructions.

Thanks,
I did that, but it didn't help.

I'm late to the party, but this worked for me on my Droid Inc. When I open Gmail now on my phone I only have my new email account that I created. Thx!

Walla! Like You Said! Add me on Facebook. I'm only 10 so don't think I'm a creep.

I renamed accounts.db to accounts.dbold just in case it all went wrong. I crossed me fingers, and rebooted. And clicked Market, and the Accounts and Sync settings window popped us empty as the head of a blonde! Thanks to you. You are a lifesaver!!

go to settings, accounts and sync, then click on the google accounts you want to get ride of, click remove account... I had the same problem and figured it out, this way is a lot easier than formating or anything like that.

I had similar trouble and just worked it out this way

Go to:
- Settings
- Then to Accounts and Sync
- Select the account that you want to delete
- Select Remove account (some devices may have this option on the settings or activity botton, try selecting that to see the option)
