Change current username?

I seperated the line my phone uses from a family plan to its own account, and am now unable to make market purchases. I noticed it had my old number in the email, and realized my current username under software info. is still from the old account. I know my username, so is there a way for me to change it?

settings, accounts and sync, choose google, remove account. then add your account using your gmail login info.
or do you mean
settings, update phone, update profile?
Tried updating profile and prl, but it won't update the sprint username. I can access already purchased apps, and have tried resyncing gmail. Was more wondering if there is a way to edit the sprint username directly, as show in settings -> phone info -> phone identity, under current username.

If you're talking about the "[email protected]" I think the only way to change that is calling sprint, and I don't even know if they will lol.
Darn. I was hoping to avoid calling them.

get your MSL#
go to dialer, enter ##DATA# (##3282#)
select edit mode
enter MSL number for the password
select data profile
change your user name
click menu... commit modifications
What is the easiest way to get my msl? Sorry for the stupidity, never done anything involving my msl.

If rooted, you can use MSL Reader from the market. Otherwise, if you call Sprint and ask them nicely, they will probably give it to you. Just say, "I'm doing some troubleshooting on my wifi network" or something like that. I has worked for me on the last two phones I have purchased.
Msl reader worked, thanks for the help!

Lost gmail account details

Hi all,
A friend has somehow managed to setup up a lock screen password. He then attempted many times to unlock but not with the correct password.
The phone is now asking for gmail account username and password. Which he never kept a copy of. Is there any way to get around this so he can access his phone again. Or is seus the best option.

Regarding the lock issue, just reinstall with seus or whatever rom you want and that'll be fine.
Now about the gmail account, he will have to check on gmail site and try to recover password/request a new one.
Thi k he already tried to recover his password with no luck. And the trick of putting null in password box not working this time
Thanks for help

Well how can someone not be able to recover the password,cmon mate..if he can't remember his password or any details to recover the password then his account cannot be that old, so tell him to make a new account and problem solved. It also sounds weird that he also cannot remember the unlock code for the phone so I don't know...
Sorta sounds dodgy...

The guy had some how managed to lock his phone while in his pocket. His account was created when the x10 first hit the market and he never had any reason to recall the account details.
Anyway. All sorted was on 1.6 now got 2.3.3 stock.
Thanks

Restoring backups, google accounts and 2 step verification

I have a nandroid backup of my phone. I also have a tablet. Is it possible to advanced restore the data from my phone onto my tablet?
Story is : Phone broke with sim card.... don't know why
Sent it off for repairs....
Forgetting I have two step verification for my Google account
Installed new ROM on tablet with full wipe andwithout nandroiding
I need to access my account without my phone and I don't have backup codes. So the idea was: to restore the google account information from the nandroid of the phone to the tablet.
Does anyone know if this will work?
Are there any other ways of getting my account to work?
Thanks for your help
Titanium Backup has an option to extract apps/data from a nandroid backup.

I had a look in TB and it doesn't seem to have the option to restore accounts from a nandroid backup.

Thanks that's a good idea, but I didn't have that installed
So im assuming you did the codes via sms? On the phone that youre using right now. Or at least a phone with your sim card installed so it gets the same phone # try to login by getting the text

The sim card also broke so i cant receive any texts: I need to order another one ( I'm on pay as you go) and change the number. But I was wondering if there was another way of accessing my account while waiting for the new sim.
I feel your pain bro. Im trying to think of ways but cant. Have you checked any computers you might have left logged in. That way you can print some codes from google.com/accounts

I've checked my laptop - I had logged out Thanks for trying to help. Hopefully I will get another sim card today.
Edit: I have another sim now, I can know access my account
Sry I didn't have any working ideas
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda app-developers app
TB has a feature to put a zip onto the SD card. So you can flash it from recovery to access TB without having access to Google Play (as you don't have authenticate).
Another option is to use one of the one time passwords which you must generate when you activate 2 step verification.
Thanks for everyone trying to help I managed to get a new sim card today so I can access my account now. I have learned a valuable lesson
Go print the backup codes

Forgot Google account details

Please can anybody help me?
My friend's phone got stuck in a bootloop the other day and the only way to recover it was to do a hard reset. The trouble being he has no idea what his Google account details are. He knows neither his email address or his password. He's never sent an email from his Gmail and never set up an emergency email account for recovery purposes. I've scoured the Internet for a solution but if all you have is your phone number, there doesn't seem to be any way to reinstate your account. His phone isn't rooted as he's not that kind of user. Can anybody help please?

Ok, so he's created a new Google account but obviously can't access all the apps he's paid for. Is there any way to transfer his old account to his new account? Thanks.

Sorry to keep bumping this thread but has nobody ever forgotten both their email address and password before? Any input would be welcome as people might find this thread in the future and find it helpful. Thanks.
