erase google account? - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this question has been answered before, I searched the forums but didn't find anything.
I'm selling my phone and want to remove all my info, I've tried a factory reset, but the phone still boots up into my Google account. How do I "logout"?
I haven't used the phone in quite a while: running Cyan 4.0.1 - thanks in advance

You have tried wiping from the recovery? When you do a true wipe, there is no reason it would still load your google information.

Or you can go to settings -> applications and bring it all up. Click on i think it's market or w/e, I dunno play around. Do that and clear data, it should work but a full wipe shold've wiped your google account. I don't thinky ou're doing it correctly

Just do a complete wipe and re-install the rom for good measure.

Force Close of com.google.process.gapps

Need some help with an error. I've seen a couple of posts about this, but no one was giving their situation/phone info to make any help effective. So, here goes.
I got a new SD card (bigger, and class 6). I used Backup (root) from the Market to save everything, partitioned my SD card, upgraded the partition to ext3, wiped my phone, re-installed Cyanogen's 4.2.13 (I use apps2SD) and the Community Hero Mix Theme (Reg Launcher and Stericsson's Lock Screen). Also reset the Radio Image, and have 2.22.19.261. Restored everything with the Backup app, then re-booted.
All apps are installed (successfully tested about 20). After Auto-Sync, I turned off syncing and ran fix_permissions, then re-booted. Gmail app's cache was cleared on a whim.
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there. Nandroid restore fixes everything, but I noticed my phone running MUCH faster after the wipe, so I'd like to get this figured out. Have tried the above process 3 times, but no success. And, like they say, Insanity is trying the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.
you should start fresh anyway and next time please here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=507
After wipe prob should be gone.
Next time, please post your questions in the Questions and Answers forum.
Moved.
After wipe prob should be gone.
Um, unfortunately that's a no. The wipe seems to be causing the problem. As I said, I've re-done this whole process 3 times. Every time I come back from the wipe, I have the force close. Only nandroid gets rid of the problem. And nandroid returns the lagginess issues.
Could try another rom like dwang or superD1.2 and see if you get the same errors.. I was getting gapps forceclose and tried many times finally I tried another rom "superd" and been happy since then! Stable and greeat speed
You just need to uninstall market updates in settings --> manage applications.
By the way, I would suggest not using backup for root users, usually the work required to come back from that is the same as from a fresh wipe.

I'm very familiar with manage applications uninstalls, however, the Market Updater app does not give un-install as an option. I can Clear Data, Clear Cache, Clear defaults (these three are grayed out), or I can Force Stop, which doesn't seem to do anything. Any other ideas?
New Symptom
As a result (I'm sure) of changing SD cards when the old one had all of my apps on it, I have about 10 apps that were protected that did not transfer by the Backup process. My phone thinks I have them, the Market thinks I have them, but I can neither uninstall them (option grayed out in the Market and they are non-existant in the Manage Applications menu), nor can I update them (as the Market seems to think I already have them). The shortcuts are of course broken, and the "Open" button in the Market is also grayed out.
Any ideas?
PS-I've tried clearing the Market cache, but didn't help.

Never mind, I popped my old SD in and used Titanium Installer to take care of my apps problem.
Still looking for help on the force close. Even does it straight after a factory wipe with vanilla 1.6!
I'm betting the Market Updater is the culprit, but can't seem to find a way to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance!

Hi All!
I'm new to this forum, but I registered because I had exactly the same problem. I've updated to the latest CyanogenMod 4.2.13. Since then I had the same crash ever since, i whipped about 4 times and downgraden step by step to 4.2.12 and 4.2.11 which all worked perfectly before. But now i had the same problem.
So i went back a few steps and reinstalled the HTC image which was needed to use the google apps again. When I installed this one. Then i booted it, hey everything works! Nice, reinstall Cyanogen 4.2.13 and just whiped it again (who cares ) and tadaaa, everything works.
Hope it works for you as well!
Good luck!
i was having the same issue when i was trying to install Cyanogens 4.2.13 coming from a different rom also. i found the solution here... hxxp://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Operating-System-Software/the-process-com-process-gapps-has-stopped-unexpectedly-on-CM-s-4/td-p/288743
(don't know if i can post direct links to other sites so i just replaced the t's with x's at the beginning of the URL)
basically what you gotta do is flash cm-4.2.9.1 1st and after you sign in let it sync, then reboot and flash cm-4.2.13 over with no wipe and everything should be fine. let me know if this helps. it worked for me
Now, whenever I go to download a Market update, I get the com.google.process.gapps Force Close. Unable to update any apps, although the whole list is there. Nandroid restore fixes everything, but I noticed my phone running MUCH faster after the wipe, so I'd like to get this figured out. Have tried the above process 3 times, but no success.

Had the same problems.. started last night when I tried to use my VPN on the phone to sign in to Market.. once signed in.. google accounts asked me to sign in again..(verify account) big mistake.. as it seems that it has registered me twice on the phone somehow..
anyway.. the FC on sync came thick and fast.. was out last night.. so couldn't actually take the time to check what was going on..
today did some research..
for me.. after trying a few processes.. I have gone the route of using Titanium backup and freezing the Gmail applications.. I never used it anyway.. as used the stock HTC email program..
happy to report that the FC on sync's have now stopped..
Edits: nope bloody thing.. got a few this morning on bootup.. and it seems market is dead for me..
I have reformatted the card and wiped all cache's.. but still got problems..
hesitant to do a hard reset at the moment as using the phone in China.. So dont actually know what it will wipe out if I reset it?
Can someone chime in here for me..
so the question is.. if i do a hard reset.. will I lose the actually settings that make it hook in to the phone network?
and I suppose from this we get.. how do I pull all of these settings out of the phone to reuse them again after the reset?
Thats a HTC EVO with stock rom
few specs on the software..
Firmware : 2.1 update 1

Thanks in advance..
Edit: after searching the net for the last few days for a fix.. its seems to be a Android bug.. no amount of wipes and resets put me back on track..
So in the end I went for a fresh Rom... Myn’s Warm TwoPointTwo - [RLS 5 - 01/07/2011] http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793471

[Q] Help - Market hanging in 'starting download' status

Before we start... yes, I have searched the forums and thats why I've started this thread.
Setup: CWM, VEGAn 5.1, Titanium Backup and Root Explorer
EVERYTHING is working except for this...
I have run the market fix step by step (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845175) and have access to the full market. I can even get all the way to initiating the download of the app. However, when the download starts, it just hangs in 'starting download...' and does nothing. It doesnt download or install, just hangs.
This seems to be a known issue with phones with no answer...

Just had it happen on my phone. I fixed it by going into applications and clearing the data from google services framework. Then reboot...
Mine does this if I try to use it from work. The firewall allows normal web, and transparently proxies FTP so I'd think it would work, but it doesn't.
sign into google talk and all should be well... google's market depends on gtalk service - signing into gtalk should do it for you.

Thanks for the heads up. You are right that it is dependent on GTalk, but I think I've stumbled across the main issue. When I connect to someone's else's wifi (couple of people in my apt complex have left their routers unprotected), I don't have any issues connecting to gtalk or market. So obviously, my gtab is having an issue with the connection through my network/firewall/<insert idea>, I'm assuming.
Are there any known network/firewall issues with connecting to gtalk or the market?
I'm running TnT Lite 3.1 and finally got all the apps to load up on market using the "market fix" that you tried as well, but am stuck on "starting download" as you are. Although it's possible that it has something to do with the router, I turned the firewall on my router completely off and still hangs. I wish we could figure this one out.
Just know you are not alone.

I don't know if this will help but I have seen that a couple times and have found that if I tap on the app that is stuck it will go back to the menu asking if you want to install like you would see when you first tried it. Say ok, it will start to download again. Seems most times it will then download.
I have in the past had apps just stay stuck. Only thing that I could ever do to fix that was to clear the data from the Google services framework, and reboot. Kind of like doing the market fix again.
Try clearing cache for the downloader. It could be there is a bad file "stuck" there that it is trying to resume...
It's even possible that there is a zero byte file there with perms wrong...happened to me once after switching ROMs
How do you sign into gtalk? Is it already installed in TnT by default? I don't see an icon for it.
Are you running a custom rom or stock. Stock has no Google Apps

I'm running TnT Lite, version 3.1 I believe.
I can obviously navigate to the main page google.com/talk, but don't see a link there to install for android/gtab. If my market worked I could probably install from there, but that's the whole reason I'm messing around with talk. Still can't get my market to install anything, despite market fix, clear this, clear that, etc.
You can reinstall TnT rom without wiping data/cache. I would wipe cache. The gTalk app (Talk) should have installed with TnT lite. This will reinstall everything in the rom wothout wiping your data. You may still have to wipe data/cache but you can try it in steps

Ok I found talk and cannot login. Says "could not connect to server. Will retry shortly." I confirmed my internet is working as I can connect with the browser. I can also still connect to Market, find apps, but cannot get them to download. I've cleared the data in Google services framework and rebooted several times with no solution. ARGHH!!

Sorry if you have already done this but....I would backup my apps and THEIR data with titanium backup and do a complete reinstall. Wipe data/ factory reset and then install the rom again. Restore your apps and their date with Titanium. Don't restore system data with Titanium.

Ok will try that and get back to you. I don't really have to backup anything, will just do a wipe and reinstall. Thanks for your help.
Well chit. I downloaded the new TnT 4.1 and figured I'd give that a try.
Restarted w/ clockworkmod .08, cleared cache, cleared data, then installed TnT.
After booting back up some of the buttons weren't working, couldn't type in my wireless password, it would keep jumping to the home screen, then I couldn't shut down, power button would not turn the damn thing off.
Copied the TnT 3.1 update.zip back to the sdcard. Went into settings and did a data reset/wipe and finally it shut down.
So I restarted with clockwork mod again and wiped cache and data reset, loaded TnT 3.1 and let it boot up.
Was able to enter wireless password and get that going and confirmed the internet was working. Then went to market and or course it was not working. So did market fix, after installing titanium backup. Had to reboot a few times after force stopping google services and market, and wiping cache/data (from within settings) each time and finally all the apps showed up in market.
However, still unable to get anything to install.
Tried to login to google talk with same result.
I'm now thinking it must be something with my firewall as the first user mentioned. Going to try it on another connection and let you guys know.
I can confirm that it is something to do with my firewall. Finally tried market on another connection and it downloaded right away. Now I have to get verizon to give me a new router. DOH!
EDIT Now I can download from market just fine from my original location. It seems that once I downloaded the first time from a different location, now it is all working.
Anyone have apps that download and not install? I've been having this problem, before my memory even got low for apps so I wiped everything and reinstalled my apps and had less then half a gb of apps.
Things seemed good but today it started happening again, apps will hang in downloading or will download and not install.

[Q] I messed up my Google Play Services - need help

Hi there, I messed up a bit
Im on CM11 M11 Snapshot, Unlocked bootloader on my SP and I caused a problem with Google Play Services, I tried to integrate the updated APK into the system partition using Titanium Backup, it froze and couldn't finish the operation and now I cant seem to get onto the Play Store to update services. Ive tried clearing data/cache for Play Store, Services, and account manager, Ive tried removing my Google account and re-adding it (Didn't work at first, but now I'm signed in) and Ive tried removing those 3 apps and then re flashing the Gapps package but there is always an error with Google Play Services and it requires an update from Play Store but it cant connect to it because of the problem Ive created with Services.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this? I don't want to wipe my Data partition / do a factory reset as Ive spent the past week setting up the phone and getting all the apps back that I needed.
I have been in the same way, messed my gapps so bad that one day. The fix is easy. All you need to do is wipe the system, and then flash the gapps again. No need to wipe data.

Wait? What? Won't kill boot/bootloader/rom doing that?
However I've the same problem: play services (all google apps, drive, maps, youtube) stopped to work. They start but can't connect to google account.
So I tried clearing its data and cache, but nothing. I removed the account and now I can't create it anymore: it says there's a problem communicating with google servers.
Install apps from playstore site, gives a 906 error.

No, it wont kill the ROM. But beware, you will need to reflash the ROM zip and gapps.
I didn't mention it in the quoted post, but that guy understood me lel
Well, I was pretty sure. XD
I'll backup, install rom, gapps, reboot, rom update, reboot
I'm really start to hate the play services ahahah

[Q] I factory Reset and need some help

I previously rooted successfully based on the thread by TEKHD.
I had to factory reset afterwards and, since I have done that, the playstore fails to really work and download apps. It may download 1 and then stop and they are all just sitting in the queue....I have tried clearing cache/data on the playstore app and even removing my google account and then adding again. Anyone know what may be going on?
Also - does rooting disable system updates? I went to check if there were any updates and it said since I had a modified system it was a nogo - which I assume is fine.
Thanks!

I think all you need to do is to go into twrp recovery and to a factory reset.
After doing that the play store and everything else should work just find.
After the phone reboots and goes to the home screen reboot it one more
time and then see if the play store works properly for you.

yes, in the phone itself, be sure to copy any private stuff from internal
sdcard to external sdcard or to your computer.
The internal factory reset will format your internal sdcard but it will
not touch the external sdcard.
Good luck!

Google Wallet stuck on newest ROM - Suggestions?

Hello XDA geniuses; If anyone can figure out and provide me some suggestions, its here!
So, I've been running Benzo ROM for the last few months, its perfect for me. I've tried others but have settled on it. In the last update, it required a clean flash, which I did. TWRP -> Advanced Wipe -> System, Data, Dalvik and Cache. Never had an issue before, but in this build I can't use Google Wallet or Tap and Pay.
When I go to start either of those 2 apps, they just sit at the initial screens. Thats all, they just sit there.
I've made sure I'm signed into my account, no ad blocking or security issues I can see. I've wiped and re-flashed 4 times. Made sure I have the right ROM and gapps. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Wallet a bunch of times.
The dev did say in this build he; "AOSP Webview to Google's Webview", hence the clean flash.
Nothing I've tried yet has made any difference. I did a logcat, but did not see anything notable.
And, yes of course I posted this in the ROM forum, unfortunately I've not received much response and figured I would ask in the Help section.
Thanks in advance and if you have any suggestions at all, please let me know. I use Wallet daily and I hate to move off this rom, but I have been trying others and I do rely on Wallet at this point.

Hey Evolution_Tech, super appreciate the feedback! Yes, I tried it again, just to make double sure. I force stopped Wallet, even went into Show Cached Process and killed it. Same thing for both T&P and Wallet; I bring up the app, it goes to the 1st screen and boom just sits. In T&P I cant even press the Display link. So freaking odd.
Again, Thanks!!

Hello; Here is what worked for me, but I have to preface it with make sure you do a good backup. When the Rom I use asked for a full refresh including wiping data, is when I had the issue. I eventually tried it with not wiping data and that's what worked. I think wallet keeps some persistent data there and when you wipe it out, it gets stuck. Good luck.
I will try and make this my last update; I finally got wallet to work with a complete wipe, including data.
I used dev options and found the package in data/data for wallet, its com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel
I copied com.google.android.apps.walletnfcrel from data/data into a folder on my sd card. Then I did my clean wipe. I installed wallet and let it build the structure. Then when I tried it, it would hang. I stopped it, then I copied all the files back in from my backup and it worked. I overwrote the files and used es file explorer that had root.
Make sure, as always you have a good backup.
If you have any questions just give me a shout.
