I don't think this feature is available on google service but it is available on Appleid service
Anyways try going to google settings on your android phone>>google account>swipe to security tab>scroll to devices>manage device.
See if you can delete account on a device

If you factory reset through recovery mode, you have to enter your gmail I'd and password (this will not save any of your mail information or dosnt sync). There is no option to delete Google account before turning on you phone.

I've tried that.
But there is a message prompting that the account can only be remove by resetting the phone factory.
help anyone? thanks..
Try google account dashboard. Info stored on your google account. I recall seeing android devices in there once.
You can clear data from apps management in the market app. That restores it to default but doesn't necessarily log you out.
Try the desktop market... you can log in and out there.... but there's no real hard logout unless you reset.
open market, open menu and logout
what a JOKE!! huh
f you are using your network data with a android phone you cant log out, you dont have nothing like LOGOUT unless you make a factory reset , and never try to log into market again, attention because by doing factory reset you loose all your apps, make a back up before doing that, there is a free app call backup everything
Im guessing this hasnt change in plays maket?
To solve your Problem you have to be tricky!
Go to gmail .com,
and submit a new email...no matter if you will use it in future or not...
After you have submit a new email account on google,
go to your phone to accounts.
Add the new email google acc!
THen you have two!
Next time you start your market, it will ask you which account it should prefer..
Regards.

Thanks i had done that trick, the only thing is that i was trying out this cheap tablet and put in my acount so i didnt had to make one but when i went to accounts and sync the tablet does not have that option.. all i got was a screen saying "the market account password change" sign in again.. :/ o well had to reset it
Installed CM7 on a mytouch 4G.
Used my google account to access the Market.
Installed a bunch of apps on it and configured them too.
Now I want to give this phone to a family member.
Can I replace my google account on this phone, without loosing all the apps and the respective configuration settings?
It's been a while since I have used CM. but I don't recall a way to replace the main Google account however you should be able to 'detach' the application from the market. Downloading Titanium Backup Root will allow you to detach the application from the android market where your account is linked to. (I suggest using the same application to do an apps backup first) Then switch the main account and attempt to reattach them. If you lose your settings or lose the apps, you have the backup to revert to.
Hope this help, and if there is an easier way out there use that, but this way is pretty straight forward (and you get a back up )
Cheers,

Cant you just go to settings, select the google account and press remove?

What?
No app will be deleted if you remove the active google account from settings.
You will most likely not be able to use google apps like gmail until you add a new account (that from your family member), but nothing gets deleted.
Non google apps will most likely work too, except you can't update from market until a google acount is added again and some paid apps employing the google licensing serve might refuse to work as there is no account attached, or the one attached, did not buy the app.
Just try it.

No, it will not let me do that. When I hit the "Remove account" button it says ...
"Do you really want to remove this account? Removing it will also delete all of its messages, contacts, and other data from the phone. Proceed?"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I hit the next "Remove Account" button and it says ...
"This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only thing relevant under the Settings -> Privacy is the "Factory data reset". Which is what I want to avoid.
There are only a bunch of free apps installed on this phone. I want to keep those apps as-is and just swap the google accounts.
If you backup with titanium, assuming you are rooted, wipe data, flash ROM, then when setting up the phone just enter the new gmail and restore apps with titanium and bam. Kind of a pain, but it will get you where you need.

You can use multiply accounts with all apps usable. Open Market go to Settings/Accounts. Make sure you have the account you would like to use set up in Sync Settings

So if I have 2 google accounts setup under Settings -> Accounts then can I remove the first google account?
(Assuming that the second google account would then become the main google account for this phone.)

After doing a titanium backup, do you need to do the the Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset to reset the phone?
To answer the origninal question
In short-yes, you can change the primary google account by looking through the settings.
Without removing the first google account, I added the second google account.
But still it will not allow me to remove the first google account unless I do factory reset. Because I installed apps with the first google account.
However, it did allow me to remove the second google account right away. Because I have not done anything else after adding it.
Dear Experts, A friend bought a J200H in gulf and the store salesman made google account for him as he did being a tech illiterate could not do so, after coming back to india he gave the phone to his son, the problem is, they formatted the phone and now its stuck at, To Continue Sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device. the guy got no idea about google account login id or password.
i tried using bypass apk that could be used to format the phone, even tried side sync method, Account manager apk, as well as reflashed stock rom but nothing worked, development settings do not get activated by tapping build number.. please help. thank you.

Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?

There is no need to use software or any kind of "hack" to recover the password if your are signed into the device with that account, as you claim you are.
If you're signed into the phone with the same Google account, use the "forgot password" feature, it will send an email to your gmail account, then just open the gmail app on the device and then find the email they send to change the password. If you are signed into the device with that account then you have access to the gmail app and the email for that account so this method should be sufficient.

Hello mate, thanks for you reply.
Yes, I'm logged into my main phone with the account that I'm trying to recover. If I do the "forgot password" feature from the browser or from the phone directly it will ask me the same things like it already did. I can complete all steps apart the mail one since the recovery mail is expired (my bad that I didn't change it).
For that I'm looking for some software/tricky way.
Regards.
