Hi,
I was doing a favour for someone who asked me to root their Kindle and install the Play Store.
I did this and I tested it with my own gmail account and everything is working perfect. However, now I want to give them back their tablet, but I can't see where I can remove my account/logout from the Play Store. Obviously, giving them back the tablet with my account logged in is out of the question.
I tried going into Applications and clearing the app's data. I also tried wiping the data in Titanium Backup. Neither worked.
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks.
Do you have 2-Step Verification enabled in your Gmail account? You could try revoking access to the device from your account management page I think.
No, I don't have 2 step verification.
Would it be worth my time to enable it just so this persons Play Store won't log me in? Surely there must be a way I can remove the Play Store, reinstall it, and let them log in?
When I was installing it initially, the steps told me to log in, and then continue with further steps where it upgrades the Play Store to the latest version and does some other stuff. If I could delay those steps, or put them into a shell script to be run from the terminal once this person logged in, then I suppose that would be good too.
Thanks.
Had this problem on a cheap tablet that I got play store on for a friend, add another account (theirs) then you can remove yours

Hi,
Thanks but that doesnt work either. The problem is that the actual "Accounts and Sync" menu isnt in the settings. The only indication I have of my account is in the Play Store app, when you go into Menu and Accounts. Its related to the locked down version of the Kindle OS I think.
It looks like I might have to wipe the whole tablet and put on a custom ROM.
Actually. I think I figured out a way of doing this.
I had my gmail account setup to use the Play Store, and had Gmail synced apparently. Then I added a second account but I hadnt opened the Gmail app yet. When I did, it asked me to setup sync for my second account since it was the first time I'd opened Gmail since I added the 2nd one. This gives a link to the default Android "Accounts & Sync" menu, in the form of a button at the bottom of the app.
I was able to go in there and delete my 2 accounts. So it seems we can get into the Accounts menu through a back door in Gmail!
PS, I tried it again to add the 2 accounts and make sure I could reproduce it, but it just went to my Gmail inbox and showed me my emails for my first account. Then I pressed the drop down menu up the top left of the app and it showed my 2 inboxes. I clicked the 2nd one and it then gave me the sync menu buttons again and I could reproduce it, ie delete both my accounts.
Now if only I could get the menu/nav bar to stay on when I don't unlock it straight away after a reboot, then I'd be done!
How did you you added a second account?
Hi, I'm exactly in this same situation.

Did you try the Google account from the settings menu. Tap on Google account then account name then remove. Then add new account.
Sent from my Amazon Kindle Fire2 using xda app-developers app
Possible fix
When I downloaded Google Play onto my fire 10 HD I downloaded 4 apk (Google services framework, Google play services, Google account manager and Google play store)
Once I'd done that I mistakenly logged into Play on the wrong account.
When I went back to the home screen there was a 'Google setting' app icon there.
I tapped that icon and went to 'Google Account - info, security & personalisation', from there if you tap the small arrow at the end of the email address it gives you the option to use another account.
I added the other account and am now able to switch between email accounts.
Hope that helps.

It doesn't work for me on 5.6.4.0. It gives me two options, open with Settings or Show mode. Neither would have google account removed.

This is quite easy and a two-minute task:
Open Plyastore on your PC/Laptop
Sign in to the play store using the same Gmail ID you want to remove from any device.
Once signed in Navigate to the setting by clicking on the Gear icon on the upper right corner of the screen.
Here you will find all the devices connected to your account.
Simply click and remove the device.
This will help you to remove the device or logout of the play store remotely.
This is the easiest and most effective way.
As @eoinzy & @Chotkach mentioned (Thank you)
1. Install Gmail app (Don't question it. Just do it)
Sign in.
Go to setting.
Manage account and here you can easily remove Play Store information.
Hello all,
The recent update for Google Maps to 7.0.2 is really nice and has some nice features. But I'm wondering if anyone has noticed the impacts to their contacts/address book? I have my contacts addresses stored and when I select it, before the Google map update, it loaded in Google maps. After the update it loads only in my other GPS program, Co-pilot. I've gone to my apps and cleared the defaults for co-pilot and that doesn't make a difference. I've found a work around so far which is to search your contact in Google maps, but being able to load the address then navigate from the contacts/address book was a nice feature.

Since the last update to the google app there have been issues.
Using an XT1058 completely stock on 4.4.4
Any voice command results in 'cant reach google at this time.' This happens whether I use 'okay google now' to launch or go directly through google now.
Also whenever I open google now the weather is up to date, but everything else like 'stories to read' lists the same stories from a week ago.
If I swipe down to refresh several times it will work, but next time I open google now it's back stories from May 26th
I've cleared cache. Checked sync settings. Checked google now settings, but don't see anything amiss.
It still all works on my nexus 7, so I don't think it's an issue with my account.
I'm stuck with 24 corrupted home structures that I can't delete. Google knows it's a bug but has offered no timeline on a fix. Right now there are no home automation accounts connected to my account or the Google home app. Previously the only home automation app I had installed was the kasa app for a smart plug. But I have since disconnected it from my account and removed the device from the home app. When I look on my kids phones in the home app, I do not see any home automation connected to their account. Neither of their accounts have the option to remove the extra empty home structures which cannot be deleted from my account. Also, my backup email account, which I used to try and fix this whole issue, does not show the undeletable home structures. I completely deleted all information from my Google home app and my kids Google home apps before I factory reset all the devices and set everything back up. When I set everything back up, I started with only my account. And at that time the undeletable home structures were already there, before I linked my kids accounts. So, unlinking them (from voice match) does not help to remove the undeletable home structures.
Right before I noticed the undeletable home structures, the main things that I can think of are:
I removed myself as a home member (there where no home members in the home structure).
I deleted all devices and home structures.
I factory reset the device (Google home speaker).
I cleared all data for home app, Google app, Google play services, Google play store, and Google services framework. I disabled all of those apps that I could and reinstalled the updated versions (there was no way to completely deactivate or uninstall Google play services on my phone).
For my online information, I went into my Google account and deleted every single thing that I could, from my timeline history to all of my web activity, etc... I also went in to connected apps, and deleted the item that said Google home as well as the item that said Google Assistant connected device. Now that everything is set up again, in connected apps, there is an item for Google Assistant connected device, but there is no item for Google home.
I removed my Google account from my phone and re-added it.
I factory reset my wireless router.
Finally, I also went into my Google drive and deleted my backup for my phone before I factory reset it.
I really believe that the issue has to be a bug with the home app and refreshing the data on the server. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that I removed all home members, and then deleted the devices & Home structures, as well as factory reset the devices.
Also, I really wonder if it has something to do with different versions of the home app. For example when I was troubleshooting, I tried logging in on a different device. On my old phone, I was logged in with an older version of the home app and an older Android system (Android 5 lollipop). However, even if I log back in on that device, there is no option to see the undeletable home structures. So I have no way to delete them even from an old version of the app. Also, when I first linked my kids accounts, it was on their tablets, which was using the older version of the home app, as well as an older Android system (Android 5 lollipop). Now they are using the newer version of the Google home app on their phones which have Android 7. And I'm using the newest version of the Google home app on Android 9 pie on my pixel 2 XL.
I'd really like to get this figured it out before I continue to add my other devices to the Google home app. Any help/feedback would be appreciated!
If nothing else, why can't they just have an option to manually delete any home structures from within the Google home app? There are separate areas for devices, rooms, and groups (within a home structure). Why can't they add a different area that lists all of the homes you are a member of, with the option to remove yourself and delete the home structure? Right now my account says that I am a home member of 25 different home structures. But I'm actually only a home member of one home structure. When I click on one of the empty home structures, it just sends me back to the one working structure that I have. So I have absolutely no way to delete the empty home structures. Even adding an option to completely delete all Google home app data from the servers would be a great option, that many people would appreciate.
Here is Google's official response so far:
"Our Engineering Team has informed that they don't have the option to wipe the account and it's not recommended. For now our workaround for this fix is using an alternate account."
Here is my reply back:
At this thread (https://support.google.com/googlehome/thread/624656?hl=en) there were others with the same issue and the problem was fixed by someone at support fixing their broken Google Home data in the cloud/server/back-end. They must have that option. Why could they fix it for others but not for me?
Why would it not be recommended? It would just be like starting over for the Google Home data. In fact, why isn't that an option yet, to be able to easily delete/reset all Google Home data? There are options to delete everything else account related (web activity, timeline, etc...). I think we should be able to delete/reset our Google Home data too.
How does using a different account help? I want to be able to access my own information and services.
Will there still be a definite fix for my issue? When will that fix happen?
Sorry for my absence in posting. My problem has actually been fixed since March 13th, but not before some work on my end. I actually searched around and emailed the Google Cast/Google Home Developers and got a reply from one very helpful Developer. We exchanged emails, I provided lots of details, and he was able to look into my account and eventually fix the issue. It took a couple weeks but eventually the broken home structures were gone. I still don't know what caused it or how they fixed it. I asked about other people with the same issue, and he replied that they were working on a fix for everybody but it could take a while. Hopefully now the issue is fixed. I don't want to give out his email because he was nice enough to help me and I don't want tons of people trying to contact him. So please don't ask. But have hope that if your issue isn't solved yet, there really is a team working on issues and there really should be a fix at some point.
Greetings all,
I have an unlocked Note 9 (Model #SM-N960U1) I bought directly from Samsung that I use on the T-mobile network. I keep my schedules using Samsung's calendar app. When I attempt to add a location to my schedules more often than not the location can't be found. Apparently, my unlocked Note 9 is using "Foursquare" as Samsung's calendar maps search engine. Is there a way to remove Foursquare from my device, or at the very least select Google maps as the default for Samsung's calendar app?
You could always disable the app through adb commands
Clear Search
I haven't figured out how to get rid of "power by Foursquare" in the Samsung Calendar and make it go back to using Google Maps, but I did find a work around:
X out of the text in the SEARCH field
Select your current location from the list of pre-populated choices
It will let you switch from "Keyword" to "Address"
Then you can search for the address you really want
You should then be able to click DONE from the results
I prefer the Samsung Calendar widget since it has Transparency as an option but I guess I'll have to find a 3rd party widget that opens Google Calendar instead.
