If the ui doesn't allow you to choose between different liveid's, that's a huge fail for me personally. How would you save contacts to different accounts, etc ?

You can use multiple accounts, but you can not change/remove the main Live ID without resetting the phone. App purchases and settings are linked to the main account.
When creating a contact (or an email, appointment, ...) you get to choose which account it will be linked to.

Change primary gmail without factory reset... Possibe??

Title says it all I've searched and searched with no success... Please help...
It its not possible. Once you log in to the first google account that's it.
sent from HTC Sensation
Why are you wanting to switch?
If you go into Settings >> Accounts and Sync >> Google, there is a Remove Account button at the bottom. No idea if it's what you want, but it's a start.
Hope that helps
Can you add one first then remove other? I know there always has to be one assigned

Adding one first before removing the primary account also won't do anything. You literally can't remove the primary Google account no matter what. I was in the same situation yesterday; the OP is going to have to do a factory reset.
Settings...
I have done this on almost every Android phone without having to factory reset. Havent tried on Sensation cuz I dont have one...yet.
Anyway, how I always did it was go to settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All and look for anything that says "Google".. i.e. Gmail,Google Backup Transport,Google Calendar sync,Google Partner Setup and Google Services Framework. Open up each one these and do a "Clear Data".
Thats it, try loggin in to your gmail and it will ask you to sign in.
You might have to do it more than once though, but it definitely works. Trust me.

No. That only wipes your password to the gmail account for security reasons, so that if someone found your phone and put their sim in it they can't access your account.

Why would I bother. It clearly said when I tried to delete my account "You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults."

well, the official sollution would be to do a phone reset from the settings -> info menu.
The second way is this (haven't tried it myself):

no google phone contacts

Sorry if this was mentioned before.
I'd like to have saved contacts to phone call, but not to store it on
google or any other account. To be in my phone and nowhere else.
Not to synchronize in any way. Possible?
Best regards.
Manually add them to Sim card / Phone and disable any syncing.

Contacts > add contact and choose contact storage that you wanna use (in your case local/sim/phone rather than Google Account)
OR
Contacts > settings > export > SIM/Phone and then unsync your Google account. --- This will copy them from your Google account to your device/sim

Well, no local/sim/phone option in my case. That is the very problem.
Nexus 5, 4.4.2.
Best regards.
If you take them off Google and store them on the phone....not sure you can save to sim these days, only phone....they will be gone every time you flash a ROM.
Storing them to Google means they will always be there as soon as you sign in to Google.
You probably know this....just not sure why anyone wouldn't like it. ?

I dislike to sync, for whatever reason. That is the way I like, with no
offend for other people opinion.

Why would they know my data? It is the part of the game, but I do not care
about that option. My problem is that you all have a mode to choose local/phone,
but I have it not. That, in fact, bothers me.

How to remove 2nd gmail account from Android

Hello. I had 2 Gmail accounts. I closed one. When I try to open that one on my computer it s gone. So that s ok.
I had both accounts on my Android Lenovo K 3 note phone.
There are still both accounts. It is giving me option to remove one but it s not working. I tried everything but there are still both accounts when I open Gmail on my phone.
Can please somebody help me how to remove that account which don t exsist anymore!?
Thanks, Robert
What on earth does this have to do with Xposed Framework? Really!
Go into Settings, then find Accounts. That should list both Google accounts (and possibly others). Select and then delete the one you don't use any more.
Sorry I posted this question in wrong forum. We re not everybody from English language states, we re not everyboday experts for language. I tried the best to find right forum (as I m asking about Gmail I thought "App Support Forums" would be the right forum). Also we re not everybody experts for computers, phones...
If you can be so good please tell me which forum is right for this type of question???
Yes, and about your answer about removing account if it d be so simple I wouldn t ask here. That way you told me it is not possible to remove account..

You most likely need to do a factory reset, wiping data. Then sign in using the correct account.
Try to delete all Google accounts and than add only one that you use.

incoming number not matching contact

All my contacts are saved with prefix +44 and synced through aquamail to exchange. When someone calling me it shows just number without prefix (ie 0773443..) therefore not picking up the contact name. It start happening recently. I've cleared dialer, phone, contact storage data- no help. Any suggestions?
save it without the prefix?

its easy if you have the contacts synced with google so that you can edit from the bowser and in google contacts you can have multiple numbers in 1 contact you so you have to change them then your in a other country
I use exchange, no google contacts. Simple reason it is in sync with outlook without crappy plugins etc. It sync with all my company software. I am looking for fix not for way around. Also cannot reset my phone. Re-setup require 2 days work. Too much 2step auth, accounts, data. I just need to know which process is responsible for matching so I could just clear data of it.
Amazing oneplus support told me to wipe dalvik hahah if not help wipe phone. Useless.

BUT, you do understand that there is a option to auto put in the country code in the dialer menu right? So if you have the phone numbers saved correctly then when you go to a other country then it will put in the country code etc automaticly.

what about if you have to send message abroad and you're in UK. no prefix then?
Really doesn't matter. It was working fine and just stopped 2 days ago. Needs to be fixed.
