Gmail Account

[mckain87]

So I let a friend use my phone because his broke. He added his Gmail account to my app and now I cannot get his account off of my Gmail and I cannot figure out how to delete the account,I only see an option for adding one. Can someone PLEASE tell me how to delete the account!!

you're probably gonna have to do a factory reset.... i believe that's the only way to delete the main Google account....

I was able to just remove a google account under the "Accounts and Sync" area in settings. After I had removed the core google account, I simply added the correct one. It worked for me anyways... Maybe I somehow got lucky?

I have a question about Android email apps including the stock email. Having been an iOS user for years, I'm accustomed to being able to pinch zoom emails in case there's something small that needs to be enlarged. I notice that on the stock Android email app or Gmail also, you cannot pinch zoom any emails. Is there an alternative app that allows pinch zoom? And yes, I realize Android is NOT iOS but I would think that there's good alternatives to ANY iOS app in Android. Thanks.

Question on K9, are there instructions for syncing Exchange 2010? I was able to get K9 to sync with Gmail, but I have tried all the posted suggestions with no luck.

One more question, is it possible to get the gmail app to show the unread emails with the red counter on the icon?

Two ways to do this:

1. factory reset
2. add your account, then you will have the option to remove his

I did this for my device since I have TWO GMail accounts...

- Go to GMAIL on your phone
- Go to the Settings option (left bottom button on the phone and select settings)
- Select the account you want to remove
- Under DATA USAGE there is an option "Gmail sync is OFF' it also states, "Change sync settings or remove this account" select it
- select the account you want to remove
- bottom right of the screen is an option "Remove account"

Believe naviwilliams has it with #2. Done this several times and it works.

On the Galaxy S4 I went to "Settings", "Accounts", "Google". Selected the account I wanted to remove. At the bottom of the screen there is a "Remove Account" button. Tap on that. It will ask for confirmation, select "Yes" and you're done. It's gone.
