Hi there,
I'm selling my Ainol Novo 8 Android 2.2 Tablet purchased in Oct 2011 because my work is buying me a new Android tablet. I would like to know how to remove the Gmail account from the Novo 8 so the buyer can replace it with another one. I'll be sorry to see the Novo 8 go because its a great tablet. I use it for reading e-books, watching You Tube piano tutorials, playing music, and downloading great apps. Multi-touch is great, wifi connection is great. Picture quality is great. Its a great tablet!!!!
I have tried the following:
I deleted the Gmail account through Google Gmail, and then did a Factory reset which is supposed to remove all accounts, but the tablet still thought this gmail account existed. Then I couldn't get into Android Market because it was looking for the old Gmail address. Google managed to retrieve the Primary Gmail account for me so I was able to reinstate it.
I then tried doing a Factory reset without deleting the Gmail account but it still didn't delete it.
I was also told that I could remove the accounts.db from a rooted tablet by going into Data/ in the root. So I downloaded File Expert a rooter but couldn't find accounts.db in there.
I hope your forum maybe able to help me. Its very frustrating that you wan't replace your Primary Gmail account with another one.
regards CW
