Well been doing some playing today - learning how to root then trying a couple of roms all with success.
However i noticed that when i wanted to use gtalk / gmail etc it keeps saying my password / username does not match ?
The weird thing is i log into my account as per normal on my PC and username / password is fine.
I checked my mobile settings in my account and the correct device is listed.
Also same issue trying to access the market place - does not match, so now i cannot install any apps through the market
Even done a factory reset but no go.
Any ideas guys ?
thx
Try reflashing your current rom.

will do - thx
Well a re - flash did not work.
Also did another system reset - did not work ,.
But all is well ! What i did in the end was change my password online with my PC and turned off that 2 step verification method. Signed in with my Phone and -
Its all working again.
Dont know why it stopped in the first place though.
Haha!
sorry I have to laugh. If your using 2 step verification then your standard gmail password will not work on any third party applications including your android phone. You have to go to setting on your google account (on a pc) and tell it to authorise a new application, remove any you have already for your phone, and add a new one.
It generates a one-off use 15 character password. You need to do this each time you flash a new rom if your using 2-step.

I don't have this problem, and have never had it, but you've sparked my curiosity since I've never heard of that. I assume it's an optional method of authenticating your google account, but that's obviously a guess.
I've had a look at my google account settings and can't see anything that appears relevant. Where are the settings for this?

I am wondering if this is a know issue or possibly a bug with CM7. Today I was messing with settings and I turned off the syncing setting. After doing this I got a google voice error. I then turned syncing back on, but still got error. I went to the market and tried to do a update and kept getting the -101 error (which from what I could find is a know error code). To resolve it as explained in the xda forum was to remove google account and sign back into gapps. Well the only way to remove your account is to reformat and start from square one. If this is a known issue, then I guess this post will be good for newbs like me as something not to do EVER. If not maybe it is something that can be resolved by the devs so not to happen. So far this is the only issue I have found, this after setting up 5 NT's for co-workers so I have tested and messed with a lot of setting.
Update: I found that this issue was not caused by disabling syncing on device. Coincendence of time of issue. Issue is caused by basically taking a CWM backup from one NT and restoring to another NT which is essentially a clone copy. When wifi is turned on to both devices is when the error occurs and I am thinking is a naming convention issue. If a resolution is found I will update the post. Thanks go to those that helped me by making me keep testing until I actually found the root issue.

Not allowed --- "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 setting application, under privacy."
Trust me if it were that easy I would not have posted. Thanks for the response though.
if the above mentioned doesn't work just delete accounts.db and reboot
hard reset your phone by settings , privacy options .
then reconfigure your phone .
"if the above mentioned doesn't work just delete accounts.db and reboot"
I tried to to the delete accounts.db method and as soon as I launched market it created the account and the save issue was still present. I still had to do the hard reset and reconfigure as stated below.

That is what I did do. However, the question is, is this a known isssue with all android devices if you disable sync that you have to hard reset your device and reconfigure or is it a glitch with cm7. I have never had a android device before so I can't test it to see if this is just how it is.
Thanks.
Now that I think about it more, if you were trying to delete the only (last?) account on the device it makes sense to make you reset. The first thing you must do when booting up is add an account ... if you want to delete the only account, it makes sense that the device would need to be restored to "out of the box" (so to speak) condition.
Perhaps what one could try is adding a second account, deleting the first, readding the first, and deleting the second (optional).

I did have 2 accounts and it doesn't give you an option when you reformat, it just wipes. Trust me I tried to do anything to avoid having to reset everything. What I didn't understand is after formatting why I could not restore my backup. I tried and same error. I had a backup off another NT I setup for a friend it worked fine. I really don't know I just know that at no point should anyone ever, never ever, turn sync off or you will be spending half the day setting your tablet up again.

Hmm ... why don't you post the exact steps you took. I'm willing to attempt this to see what happens, but I want to know exactly what you did.
Sort of related to this. I changed my Gmail password and now none of the Gapps work on the NT. When I open the Market it asks me to add an account but the window closes. Same thing happens in Gmail.
I installed NT HIdden Settings but I dont see the option to add or change the Google Account.
Any ideas?

Issue now has been duplicated and I know exactly what I did to cause the error. It has nothing to do with changing the sync setting on the device. It was just coincendance that it appeared at that time. I have been setting up multiple devices for friends of mine. A couple of the like how my device was setup so to save time, I loaded cm7 on their device and then using my backup made from cwm I used that to restore to their device and I had a exact clone. I deleted the acounts.db, cleared data setting on market app and rebooted and everything work, until, turning on wifi to both devices. Bam error occurs, which I assume is do to matching naming convention/mac addressing. The funny thing is whatever device is turned on first crashes and the other stays running normally. And you are right deleting accounts.db and clearing data on market worked to restore once I figured out what was happening. The other day I had left the other device wifi on the whole time so every time that I did the delete it would just fail again until I did the reformat. So after saying all this I will ask you (I sent Celtic a PM explaing issue) is there a way to give a somewhat cloned device a unique name so not to cause a conflict. I see under development that there is a device name, but I would not know how to go about changing correctly.
Thanks for the help so far. That is what I guess for trying to take shortcuts when working on so many NT at the same time. I also have a NC that I am also working on. Good experience I guess.
Hey guys, I could really use some help right now. My friend is having my tab and he wrongly hit the password for a couple of time and now I have to enter my Google account to unblock the restriction. The problem here is I've forgotten the password to my Google account. Changing the password does not help because it is not connected to the internet. So, can anyone please direct me to a solution? I don't mind formatting but I need to know how. Btw, my tab is not rooted.

You can change the password from your computer. This thread looks suspicious, by the way.
I see you posted this from your GT-i8150 which is also an android phone, so you can get your gmail password back the following way:

I wouldn't have posted that link for multiple reasons. I don't get how he could have forgotten his password since you get logged out on a computer every week I think.
For OP: download "Pocket" and keep your passwords in there. Saved me a lot of resets since I use a diff password for everything.

Suspicious in the sense of? I've changed my password but the problem is my tab is not connected to the net. So it require my old password since the new password is not updated to the tab.

That's because I'm registering a Google account just for the sake of downloading apps from Google play... It's not my primary email add nor do I use it for mailing etc.

ok, I'll trust that you didn't get it illegally.
Power off the prime.
Hold down volume down and the power button the same time and wait for 3 icons to appear.
The first icon is wipe data, press volume up.
This will wipe the device as if new including wiping the internal SD.

Hello,
yesterday someone at school took my sk17i. I asked everywhere. I will go to the police, but i have a question:
If i still can install apps on my phone (by google play(he didn't delete my account)), can i find him somehow? :<
The worst is i have been working on my first rom and i've wasted a lot of time for it :/
Thanks for your time,
Wojtek
P.S.

You could try androidlost.
Go on their website and log in with your gmail account that is synced to your phone. Login and logoff again and again until their will be your smartphone in control area. Now you could try to located it

Can you install other apps? Or is your google account deleted on phone? Because if you can install apps, there are some other apps, too...
What about your carrier? Maybe he could search for your phone?

Hi!
I have a problem.... Instagram have blocked my device. Not my account, because I can log in to it from other devices or via the web, but I can not login using my device or even create any other accounts...
I have rooted S3 with 4.1.2... But I don't want to reset my device to try if that works... I don't even know if that would work?
On iOS there is an option of chaining some kind of keychain file... is there something similar on Android? or there is other options?
Thanks
Have you tried uninstalling it and resinstalling?

OK... after trying all kind of stuff... even switching to other Android ID using Titanium Pro did't help... so, the olny way I found was reseting device to factory state.
But if some one finds other solution, it would be great if you cold share with us.

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

still I'm really curious where instagram get's the information about being blocked from, since I changed my Android ID, even created a new Googleaccount and reset everything. The app "LBE Privacy Guard" says Instagram doesn't check the IMEI, but I'm not sure about that.

Now, I have solution about this after instagram make me confuse for a couple of weeks.
I tried this on my Android Device (SGrand2), just install app called IMAGINE for Instagram. You can google it. Or i recommend to download from onhax web with search keyword "imagine". (sorry i still can't post link)
Once installed you can login from that app not from instagram official app. And the good news, you also get some new features there.
Thanks! Hope it can solve your problem.

Hey guys, ran into an odd issue... on my tablet I have myself setup and then added my Wife as another user. The issue is that my Wife's account seems to be "limited" as she is unable to change some settings (such as "Unknown Sources"). How can I either enable her account to change those settings or have that app show up for her as it does on my account?
Nobody else? Pretty simple to try. You just need an apk file (i.e. download an official google one from apkmirror.com) and a second user setup on your tab. The first user can go into Settings -> Security and turn on the "Unknown Sources" option. The second user when going to that setting sees it as greyed out and cant do anything with it (and hence cant install the APK)
It doesn't surprise me at all that there would be limitations for secondary users. It seems prudent for security issues

When I say "Secondary" I simply mean a user I setup after my initial account. It seems ridiculous that adding another user means that user does not have full access to the tablet (thats what restricted profiles are for). If the solution is to buy another tablet Google is just as bad as Apple
Is there any way to make my apps available for a second user? For example, I would like to set it up so my daughter can use Netflix without worrying about her going in to other things. She's only four.

Yes. When you add a user choose "Restricted Profile". I'm not sure on the specifics of setting it up but thats what you are looking for
