[Q] How to delete/disable my Google app account from HTC Desire S

Hi, Well this appears to be a regular problem with almost all un-rooted Android users. Still, in case anybody could help me out with removing one of my Google App account from HTC Desire S, without actually resetting it. I think there is some way.
I added my third google account, synced it once with Gmail app, later, unchecked the Auto sync button and clicked on Remove account. I was successfully able to remove it. If that can be removed, the first one can also be. Its just that I need to clear some apps cache for this. If any one from XDA (big brainy people) can help us out on this.

Try clearing gmail, talk, and Google account manager

AFAIK, the account that was used first in initializing the device, can be removed by factory reset only. This is what the phone writes when you're trying, right?

Ya, thats what the phone says. But I registered two google account on it. One professional one personal. it does not allow me to delete any of those. However, when I registered a third account, I could remove that one easily.

Hi,
I am trying the steps as told by you. Lets see if this works.
Gmail: Cleared
Talk: Cleared
Google Play: Cleared
Google Service Framework: Cleared
Cannot find anything like Google Account Manager in the app list.
Kindly help. There is no particular way on this whole internet. lol

I although tried it once in different ways but there was no way to delet the first account. In the end I did a factory reset.
Sorry, but I think it´s the only and fastes way to get the phone clean.

first email account
It does not matter which email account you use Gmail, Yahoo, GMX etc. You can only delete it by doing a factory reset. The first email you enter becomes embedded on the phone.

Thank you guys for your replies. Can you also suggest something I need to take care of before doing a factory reset.

Backup your contacts(if not synced with Google) and SMS using 'super backup'
You are not rooted so can't think of anything else that you could do.

Google contacts sync errors
I was experiencing the same errors, I read online to turn off Google+ auto updating sync through the triple dot menu for the app settings at the google playstore. So far no errors after doing this.

Google contacts sync problem

Hello, please, can you help me?
I installed a ROM B584 (CL00 version) to L29C432 and try to synchronize contacts
I installed over HiApp Google services and Google Play. I log into google account, example synchronization calendar, chrome etc. works, but the contacts do not work. I dont see Contacts item in the Settings menu-Accounts.
Do you know which application provides synchronization of contacts?
Thanks for help. Martin

Google Contacts stuck on synching

Hey guys.
I got decent knowledge about Android.
I got some knowledge about rooting,flashing, and troubleshooting. But I have a problem.
And ofcourse I did Google it before creating a thread here
So I was using my phone but what I noticed is out of nowere my contacts were gone.
My contacts are stored in Google.
I did go to settings > Accounts > (the acc) > and it is bussy with syncing contacts. (Feels like it is stuck on synching)
Drive, gmail, etc all off them did synch except for Google Contacts.
When I open the Google Contacts in my webrowser all off the contacts are there.
But inside Google Contacts App, it doesn't synch.
Things I tryed :
1. Removed all off my google accounts from my phone settings. cleared cache in TWRP. rebooted added back again.
2. Auto-Synch is on.
3. Tryed few times "synch now" (manual synch)
4. Rebooted few times.
5 Cleared app data from Google Contacts and Play services.
Any sugestions?
I did upload a screenshot here below. So you can see how it looks like.
And sorry for my bad english.

On your PC/MAC go to Gmail/Contacts and refresh your browser. Sign out.
On your 1+6 sign out and sign back in, that should do the trick.

So annoying this problem.

Contacts won't sync

Hello all,
Looking for some help with my contacts app not syncing and only allowing me to save contacts to my device. When I try to sign into my Google account in the app it just tells me I am already signed in even tho it won't show my profile or any contacts. I have tried clearing the app storage for contacts and reinstalling my Google account but that did not work. I also factory reset the phone and for a while the contacts app worked but then it broke again. I am not exactly sure when it broke but my phone is magisk rooted and I suspect maybe it was after I installed the UNSF module and cleared storage from Google play and Google services and rebooted? Have been searching around for a fix but haven't been able to come up with one yet so appreciate any suggestions.
