I came across 2 major issues so far while using the Android phone:
1) After changing the password of my connected gmail account, Android showed me a sync error and asked me to re-enter the password. Even I enter the new password, it would throw the same error at me again and again. Only after changing back to the old password it allowed me to connect to gmail again.
2) All of a sudden I cant download application from the Android market anymore. The download get stuck after you press “install”. To avoid resetting tothe factory state, which makes you loose everything, I recommend doing this:
- Go to Menu|Settings|Applications|Manage applications
- Look for “Google Apps“. Select it.
- Press “clear data“
- Once you did that, Android ask you (new notification fter a while) to enter your google id/password (in the same way when you started it up for the first time after purchase)
Thats all. Also helps you to change the primary email account for your android.

Thanks for sharing this. In froyo I don’t see Google Apps so what I did was go to the calendar app and just clear that data. It was 17Mb. After clearing and re sync it was down to about 400k only. Much faster now!
My HTC desire doesn’t have Google apps in the list – any ideas?
But there is the Market app ?
im using htc android dev phone 1. its my bro. he is dead now. so im using it. but i cant sign in as it asks the password. is there is any way i can reset the mobile? or sign in into my account. please reply me. im waiting.
I have a problem syncing my eris with ginger tazz. Instead of not installing apps, I can’t open the android market,it force closes. Any way to get it to open?
after playing with the android phone pattern password, it locked and wants one to login the user name and password but i have forgotten both of them coz i rarely use the phone’s internet and disabled long time ago. now i cant access my phone, help!!!!
When ever I try to open android market, I seen a message to sign in to Google account, which I have forgotten unfortunately, Now how I can change my present google account to a new one………….Any Idea…
settings|account|add/remove account
I also have this problem and when i made the new account i can not find a way to switch the account to the one required in the android market.
In Android market there is no setting for account. Believe it takes the first of your account in your accounts list for market.
I want everything cancel and go back to factory setting
email that I registered on the HTC HD2 can not delete. I want to register an email the other plz help me !!
I solved the issue.
After 5 weeks with android marked stalled “downloading” an application. I followed the steps in this post and nothing. I figured out that there was some script that was trying to download a program with a bad username-password. I rooted my samsung galaxy and with the ssh droid (luckily I installed before this) I get in the system as root with ssh). Finally I find a file named downloads.db on the following path: /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.downloads
I renamed the file (you could erase it with rm downloads.db) and voilá the problem was gone!
I used ssh because, for some reason, I couldn’t mount the phone on my PC (I’m using linux). If you could mount it you could go directly (been root)n to the path above and delete downloads,db.

I try to download an app but it gets stuck at “install”. This only happens with paid apps. How do I fix this !?!?
