Hi guys, i have been using my google account only in my single device since last year, on HTC Desire and then on SGS2. this year I also have Asus Transformer. So overall is 3 device with my primary google account. Last week, i bought the i9100G version for my girlfriend, and accidently put my gmail account first and created her account. i cant remove my account without wiping that phone but we rarely meet due to hectic life so i dont have a chance to backup her stuff, and wiping it.
so my question is, if i changed my google/gmail account password, my phone and other devices will stop working with google synchronization isnt it? i need to login again on each device isnt it?
why i ask? if something were to happen, i dont want my girlfriend to open my account, cuz all of my credit card info is used to buy apps~~ and she has the option to use which account on the market to download her stuff. my purpose is to let her download my purchased apps, but not purchasing it by herself.
Yes it will work. IF you changed the password it will not sync in your girlfriend's mobile.

No because she would need the new password to log back into your account again wouldnt she.

I can't give you a solid answer (though, would be interesting to know) but here's an idea:
Since you're using your Google account on multiple devices of your own, just change the password of it, and then try to access things from one of your other devices.
However the other device of your's will behave after the pwd change, your (ex?)GF's phone will do the very same.
Educated guess:
No access anymore after changing password.
Done. I need to re-enter my password on all of my devices after changing it.
I should have thought it before. Stupid me. Maybe cuz i cant think straight right now.
Thanks guys!

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.

admit it - it's not yours is it?
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:

But yeah, bit sketchy...

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.
sorry for my englishhh ..
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
:/
wait it works!

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 all
short story: galaxy s3 has the mainboard malfunction problem. had the phone replaced. what i got was the same IMEI handset, yet all wiped.
i was looking forward to the nice app restore feature.
however after setting language, timezone, etc. the phone is not taking me to the google sign in page, so to associate my handset with my account (hopefully restoring some of my data)
any idea why the phone does not ask for a google account sign in after reset?
i've updated to 4.1.2 on kies but the same issue, phone says it is all setup without asking for google sign in.
any tips how to make it ask for it at first device setup so to retrieve all the data backed up on google servers?
many thanks, all input appreciated.

no, that only adds a google account for syncing and such
i am talking about the main google account association with a new phone
every device has this
my s2 whenever i reset it asks for a google account. an old spica does too.
why doesn't the reset s3 do it?

Guys, can you please share your views on this issue?
Has anybody seen this before: after hard reset, phone doesn't ask to log into Google account?
Thanks

Can you wipe your phone properly? Factory reset.
It will remove google account, samsung account, and master Youda's account as well if you have one.

glad we're joined by a typical frustrated poster with anger issues galore.
as usual, they step on their own tail making a fool of themselves. HOW ABOUT YOU RTFT!?
i clearly say above 'all wiped', 'hard reset', so there! you've soiled yourself again. good job!
to anybody else who is really trying to help, thank you
here is the problem again:
AFTER HARD RESET (DATA/CACHE WIPE IN CONSOLE) PHONE DOES NOT ASK FOR GOOGLE ACCOUNT AT FIRST BOOT.
thanks

Never had this issue myself, my only assumption is that the software isn't right otherwise it'd be asking right? Have you Rooted the handset? If so then pop on a ROM you like and see if you yield the same results.
As I said I've never had this issue before myself but I am suspecting bad software so do what I've suggested and see if it helps.
Hope you get some luck

thanks to all the guys who wholeheartedly tried to help
@dladz yes, the solution was to flash a new rom.
but no need for custom roms
SOLUTION: for anyone who might come across this unusual behavior
-if you do not get asked for google (and samsung) account after hard resets (through recovery console or otherwise) you have to reflash the same version with Odin. no need to tick 'reformat' or anything. i used the same stock version (gotten from http://androidromupdate.com - slightly differetn csc and phone) and it solved by itself just like this.
goes to show how little we actually know about Android's entrails..
Had my damn phone stolen, some prats smashed my window through and took everything. I've tried installing all of those tracking apps, but it seems my phones either constantly turned off, or has been wiped.
But I've had another idea! One day they are bound to use my phone, and set up another google account with it. I was wondering, is there anyway that I could find out what google account they use?
Thanks
If you've registered your phone in the Samsung account... You will be able to track it from the Samsung my account website..
Have you installed any third party app which provides phone tracking such as cerbrus or Avast? If you have.. It's gonna be a lot more easier.. Hope that the thief's haven't done a full wipe and a factory reset on your phone!
Hope you find your phone back!

they've probably wiped the phone and there's nothing you can do besides have the police track it by imei.
if they haven't, install Lookout Plan B

no. you can't find out anything after it's been wiped
PS don't ask any more questions in this section, it's against the rules
Yea I've been down the installing apps route, nothing so far. So I wont be able to see when another google account signs into my device at all?
Keep trying with Plan B, it's probably out of battery, at some point someone will charge it up and turn on. I'd keep trying everytime I had a chance for a week....

I need your help. For days I've been trying to access my Google Account that created my dad on the z5c. Since I did not remember the pin of the screen unlock I did a hard reset flashing the latest version downloaded by xperiafirm. But when I turned on, I was asked for my Google Account again. For days now I am trying to retrieve my password, but I can not do it. I read the same discussion on a z5, but there was no solution because it was assumed to be a stolen cell phone, the same thing that Google believes for mine I suppose...
Unfortunately, I passed the account I used on my xzp and done it, after which my father created another account on the z5c, leaving it unused for a couple of months. And now that I wanted to use it as a second phone I can not access it anymore. Is there any solution that you will not continue to try to unnecessarily restore your account from the Google page? Unfortunately they do not even have a telephone help, they only have a forum support center in which I keep saying that I must insist on trying to recover password ... I hope in a solution.
I don't get it... a full flash process is supposed to erase everything, so the prompt should ask you to sign-in or create a new account. Am I missing something ?

It asks to sign in with my account witch I'have forgotten password...
okay, but according to what you wrote, it seems that you're stuck at the prompt. If you can't create a new account, you are likely trying to access to a locked phone, meaning it might be stolen actually (and of course you probably did not flash it). If it is really yours, you can recover your password. Otherwise, nothing can help.

I apologize for my clarity. I'm trying to retrieve the password through the Google passes for several days, but with no results. The phone is mine, then given to my dad when i bought xz premium, he created this new account forgot the passwords and left for 3 or 4 months unused. Now I can not retrieve that password, although I'm always connected to the same WiFi network and I do not understand why Google does not recognize me as a proprietor, I tried to contact them in the forum where they do "help" but they tell me that l The only way is to endlessly try their questions
don't apologize, you're welcome. The fact is that, if you're not able to recover the password, nothing on the world would do a miracle. I'm sorry if you have some datas that you would get back, but the only solution for you is to create a new account. Don't waste your time trying to sign in.

Ahaha thank you bro :highfive:
No, the point is that I do not care about the data because there was nothing apart from music saved by my father. Also because before I gave it I reset the phone and then he created this new account. The point is, Google does not make me create a new account, but wants that created by my father.
If someone needs them, I've resolved doing the downgrade to Android 5 lollipop ?.
