I see Google Backup & Restore in the ICS setting menu but when I try to use it the Google Account sections stays greyed out and says no account setup.
What or where do I setup this account? Is it part of my gmail/google docs or what.
Don't you have an account set up on the phone?
Check in Settings->Accounts and Sync. If there's no account, choose "Add account" at the bottom, then fill in the credentials of your Gmail account.

1st android phone so this maybe something simple. I go into Accounts & Sync, click add account, scroll down to the bottom for Yahoo!, and sign in to my yahoo account with name/pw. I choose to have it sync mail only, then done. But nothing happens. It's not syncing mail, and there's no little green checkmark next to Yahoo like there is for Google/T-Mobile back on the list of accounts (afterl clicking add account). What am I not doing correctly?
When I set up my Xoom, I connected it to my Google account, which does NOT have a "gmail.com" domain, or gmail.
I have since found that Voice Search will only search contacts associated with the gmail account.
If I try and add gmail to my Google account, it tells me I will need to change my primary account name on the account to something new, in "gmail.com".
If I do this, how would I point the Xoom to this new Google account name, to still have stay connected with my backups, market purchases, etc?
Thanks!

So I sync'd with my google account and it imported all my contacts, the only problem now is that I do not want my google account sync'd however if I delete it, it will delete all of my contacts with it off the phone. Is there a way I can transfer all google contacts currently in my phone contacts to sim without third party app?
I'm assuming that when you say you don't want you're google account synced you mean your mail right? Because you do want your google contacts? If this is indeed what you want, settings> accounts & sync> your google account> uncheck everything besides contacts. If that's not what you want, can you try explaining in another way so I can help.
Hello, I do not want my google account sync' anymore even though I have already disabled mail and everything else to be sync'd I do not want my google account associated with this phone. however I have no choice because whenever I try to delete the google account off my phone its says all of the contacts will erase with it too. I have been trying to find how to copy all of my google contacts to the sim but no apps have been working
Phone>menu> people> menu> export to sd card. Once exported, go through the same steps but instead choose import to from sd card and choose phone as the location. You may now not sync google account while keeping your contacts. Keep i'm mind that new contacts will be erased if you do a factory reset as google us not syncing and backing then up anymore.
So I recently got an HD7 and I've been using it for a while and I'm getting the hang of it. I want to start adding some contacts by importing them from Gmail. My question is, if I import contacts from Gmail, will the contacts be added to the phone itself or to your Windows Live Account?
Sorry if this has been asked before.
Depends... if you "Add" them to the phone, they'll be put on your Windows Live. However, if you simply add the Gmail account to your phone (under Settings -> Email + Accounts -> (Add) Google) and then choose to Sync the settings, they'll be cached on your phone but primarily stored on Google,a nd will not be copied to your other services.
Essentially, no contacts are actually stored on the phone.
When you added a contact, you're prompted to choose which account (google, LIVE...) that you want it to sync to. If you login using Google credentials, and select to sync contacts, then they'll appear on the phone but not be merged/uploaded to LIVE.
How can I remove my Gmail accounts form Google Chrome's other devices tab? Without removing gmail account from device. I want that because, anyone can sign in to my account without password and can explore my gmail and other google accounts.

Hi. I think that's not possible because the Gmail account is a device account. Unless you remove it completely from your device it will not disappear in Chrome.
I agree, you cannot do that. Go to Gmail and Help
Delete or restore a Google Account
Deleting your Google Account will affect all products associated with that account. For example, if you use Gmail with your account, you'll no longer be able to access that email. You'll also be unable to reuse your Gmail username. Before deleting your account, review the data and products associated with your account on the Google Dashboard.
Delete a Google Account
Sign in on the Google Accounts homepage. If you forgot your password, you can reset it.
Click Data tools at the top.
In the Data tools box, click Delete account and data. If you don't see this link near the bottom of the page, your account may have been created through an organization or company which requires different steps for deletion.
Confirm your account deletion. To do so, you'll need to select these two options:
"Yes, I want to delete my account."
"Yes, I acknowledge that I am still responsible for any charges incurred due to any pending financial transaction and I understand that under certain circumstances my earnings won't be paid out."
You can safely select the latter option if you haven't used any of Google's paid products, such as AdWords and Wallet, or if you have no pending financial transactions related to these products.
Restore a Google Account
Having a hard time recovering your account? If you use another email provider like Hotmail or Yahoo as the username for your Google Account, make sure you didn't create another Google Account using that same email address. Two accounts with the same username can't exist at the same time, so you'll need to change the username on the new account first.
If you accidentally deleted your Google Account, you have a short amount of time to try and recover it:
Go to our password assistance page.
Select "I don't know my password."
Follow the steps until you see a link to verify your identity.
Click the link to fill out our form.

Canceling your Gmail address
Note: Deleting your address won’t free up your username. Once you delete your Gmail address, you won’t be able to use that same username ([email protected]) in the future.
If you decide that you don't need your Gmail address anymore, here's how you can remove Gmail from your Google Account:
Sign in to your account at accounts.google.com.
At the top, click Data tools.
In the Data Tools box, click Delete products.
Click Remove Gmail permanently.
I can’t sign in
You need to be able to sign in in order to delete your Gmail address. Click here to recover access to your account.
I am using Gmail offline
If you use Gmail offline, you'll also need to delete cookies associated with Gmail offline to remove your account completely. In Google Chrome, follow these steps:
Type chrome://settings/cookies into your address bar and press Enter.
Search for mail.google.com.
Hover over the search results and click the X that appears.
I want to retrieve my deleted account
If you delete your Gmail address but wish to have it back, we work to help you recover your deleted accounts whenever possible. However, within a few weeks' time, accounts are usually no longer retrievable. Note that a successful recovery will only recover the username associated with the account.
