Help with multiple gmail accounts please

I recently installed the google+ app on my Evo and have a problem because I have two seperate gmail accounts. I searched through 2 pages of results on this issue but was unable to find anything, so I am hoping someone here can help me out.

When I set up my Evo, I used my original gmail account (we'll call it account A), so all my contacts are synced to account A's gmail account (all contacts are google contacts, none are set to phone).

So now I have a google+ account, but this is a different gmail account (this one will be acct B). I was able to add that gmail account to my Evo, but when I tried to launch the google+ app, it said I needed an invite. So it appears it is still trying to connect using the original gmail acct (A) that I set up the phone with.

I was going to remove the original gmail account on the Evo, but it warned me that I would be losing all data connected to that account, which sounds like it would be all my contact data.

Anyone have any advice? Let me know if you need more info!

Thanks!

Weren't you asked which email account to assign your google+ account to?


Suggestion, delete Account A. This will leave only account B. With only account B on your phone, sign up for Google+/add the app.

Once that's done, re add account A.
 
Well, I didn't do exactly what you said, but you did inspire me... I realized that I had added acct B to the phone AFTER I installed google+. And yes, it did ask me which account I wanted to use. Solution: uninstalled the app and reinstalled; since I now had the new gmail acct associated on the Evo, it was an option when I installed google+.

Thanks for the help! Now, if you don't mind... I don't see a way of deleting the original gmail account from the device w/o losing all my contact data (all that info is associated with that acct).

Basically I am trying to migrate from using that old gmail account to the newer one I am using with google+.

Thanks again!
