Hi,
Is there anyway to setup a Kindle so that when the user receives it it's in default factory state and unregistered but it does include some preloaded content?
Thanks in advance!
I think that you'd have to talk to Amazon about that.I think you can transfer files to it via USB before you register it though.

You can use the device all you want without registering it to anyone. The only thing registration changes is the ability to access the Amazon ecosystem.

You can't use some of the basic apps, such as email and calendar, without registering. I remember that it was a major pain in the rump, as I could't get a stable enough Wi-Fi connection to register my new Kindle.
So the OP can use the Kindle without registering, but it's hard to use without registering. Calendar, Contacts, and Email don't work without an account registration. Ridiculous, but that's Amazon for you.

But if the intention is to preload apps or books, they can be sideloaded through adb, assuming you have the files on hand. However, you cannot register the device to your own Amazon account, download a bunch of apps or books to the device, because (I believe) they will no longer exist once you deregister it.

I have a Att Captivate. I just rooted it. Can I remove the Att address Book that came with he phone without causing problem? I wanted to replace it with the one by Assurant. Please Help. I don't want to start by causing myself problems.
Do you mean remove the default contact program?
AT&T has a backup program that back's up the address book, but if you don't set it up first, it doesn't do anything.
REPLACE
No I mean, can I replace the default address book. It does not have all that I'm looking for in a address book. I would like to replace it totally with the Asurion Mobile AddressBook for Android. But I don't want to cause phone problems that can not be reversed. If I can what do I delete?
there's plenty of storage on the phone and the address book app isn't that big. Just use the One you want and try to ignore the fact the other one exists.
replace
The first step for installing the new address book is to remove all other address books because of conflict. So do I just ignore this step?

maybe provide a link to the app?
I am still unsure what you are trying to do. Android stores data in different databases - There are front end apps that access this data. There is the Contacts application that lets you link contacts from google, phone, exchange, etc.
The only place i have to even see anything called the AT&T address book is under contacts->settings; if i go to set up AT&T address book it is just to manage contacts online and backup and recover. I have no app for AT&T address book - but then i never set it up to start with.
If you do have an address book outside of the rest of the databases, then it is possible your email and other apps won't have access to your contacts - but again, I am not familiar with the app you mention. I can't find it in the app market, or via google.

I am 99% sure he's referring to Asurion Addressbook for Android 1.6/2.0
I am a noob so I can't post a formatted link but the website is getaddressbook.com/
ok, OP [original poster] In terms of removing the stock contacts app.... Use "Titanium Backup" and remove
------[contacts 2.1-update1]
*********BUT DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I tried it and it made my phone unstable...
However, I did find that I don't have conflicts with Asurion ..... So far....
WHatever you do, don't try "Phonebook 2.0" it's the worst app ever.
Hi All-
I've run into an issue with the Market that I haven't been able to find in the various market oriented threads here.
I rooted yesterday using auto-neuter 12.25 & everything worked great. I can youtube, I have my google apps email account syncing, I can download free apps from the market, etc. Angry birds is a real treat on the Nook color!
My problem is with trying to purchase paid apps from the market. Like many report successfully doing here, I want to get Titanium Backup pro & use it to backup the nook to a dropbox account. When I try to purchase from the android market, I am told to enter/create a gmail account vs using the existing gmail apps account. I have tried re-entering the google apps account data, but I seem to end up in and endless loop where it asked for the credentials, I supply them, it accepts them, and then brings me back to asking for credentials.
Does anyone have any insight into this problem??
It is my understanding you should use an actual gmail.com account for the primary account on android devices. This is probably the source of your issue.
So I have one and I bought one for my brother and sister, and I've set them up with my gmail account. Everything works great, rooted it and all done.
So my question is, how can I prevent them from accessing my gmail account and prevent them from making purchases on the Market.
FYI, this gmail account is also synced to my phone which it automatically defaults to my Tmobile account for payment.
**UPDATE**
Figured out the market payment thing, just go to checkout.google.com and deleted my payment methods. Haven't figured the gmail thing out though yet.

Why don't you have them use their own gmail accounts now?
Aye, not sure why not just use their gmail accounts, if they don't have one, it's easy enough to create one surely?
they are actually under the age of 10, so my parents don't want them to have email access yet.
I found a way to do it by blocking Gmail completely using App Protector, which requires a password to access apps that you have blocked on your system.
This will work for now.
In the opposite direction, is it possible to have two separate gmail accounts on the same device?

Can you elaborate on how one might set that up?

In the settings of the application you can put in multiple email accounts.
Poke around the options section, it should be readily apparent.
multiple accounts I believe was supported in 2.1+ but I may be wrong.
I have like 3-4 gmail accounts for my own on my phone.
Reason why my bro/sis are getting nooks is to encourage them in reading.
It's a really useful device for kids, reading, music, internet, games and etc.

Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Google
I would recommend that you set up email accounts for each of them, but don't set up the email on their nooks, just on yours. That way, you can purchase age appropriate books for each, but only you are on the email.

Starting Friday 5/9/2014 I can no longer access my Microsoft Exchange account thru the stock email app. It worked previously up until this day on Malladus 2.0.2. I verified that all of the inputs are correct (login, password, server, etc...). Has anyone else experienced any issues with their MS Exchange account? I can login thru my web browser, but I'd like to get the email app working again. Any help would be appreciated!

Did you make any changes on thursday or friday? If not, you might talk to your exchange admin at work. Many companies (mine included) block everything and only "whitelist" certain hardware/OS combinations (I usually have to wait about a day before they whitelist my device/OS after I switch). Maybe they made a change on their end, but at a minimum they might be able to troubleshoot server-side.

Thanks for the suggestions... Yes, I had the admin at work look at it as well. He confirmed that there are no blocks on the account. I'm able to login via Outlook software on a PC, and via web browser, but not the email app on my LG G2. He was puzzled. He mentioned that it sounds like a certificate not authenticating or submitting wrong info to the server. Since it appears to be connecting to the server, but reporting wrong login info. Although we both confirmed the login and password are correct. I even had him reset my password and try it again. I did not make any changes to the account Thursday or Friday.

Yes, we tried that as well.
Not sure what else it could be. Did you install any new apps last week (esp. anything like an ad-blocker, or anything else that might have changed your hosts file)? Sometimes these kinds of apps can interfere with legit connections (I used to use an ad blocker but it caused problems with my RSS reader).
Got my K20 Pro this evening and was quite pleased with the device. However, when i tried to install my corporate email (using intelligent hub and mdm app), the process errors out when setting gmail (corporate) as a device admin. I see quite a few posts on the Mi forums calling this issue but looks like no fix has been provided yet.
Any help/pointers?
Advance thanks
This is prolly not helpful but I have set up Google Device Policy and was able to setup my company Gmail as well work profile without a hitch.

Could you provide more details please? How did you go about doing this?
I downloaded Google Apps Device Policy from playstore. Once that's downloaded, opened it. I used my company email address and username and sign in and followed the prompts to setup my other apps which are linked to company.
