So I have a Galaxy Note 5 that I like but occasionally had issues with, and while meandering around my Google account, noticed Google Authenticator was listed as an installed app on the Play Store. This app have have been the trigger for conflict with other authentication software on the phone, so I checked the phone for Google Authenticator, no go. Puzzled, I installed Authenticator with the sole purpose of removing it, which I did, then removed Authenticator from Play Store list but did not "uninstall it" or turn off two-step.
I do a wipe, the phone asked for my originally synched email, password............then 6-digit token . With no way to log in to the account, I can't access the app, etc., this loop is impossible to bypass.
I submitted a recovery request for the email address but my understanding is the recovery chances are slim. Why I am posting this is because I am trying to determine the best course for the actual hardware. After two hours with Samsung/Google/Verizon on the phone, I ultimately have Samsung agreeing to remove the Device Protection Lock so I can use the phone with a different email (or sell it).
Any practical suggestions to bypass the Device Protection Lock before I pack this phone up?

This started happening after I went to CyanogenMod a couple of months back, but it's still happening with 4.2.13. Some of my Android apps refuse to authenticate even after I check login credentials and verify that they work fine on the desktop. Some examples of apps that always fail:
PayPal
Personal Assistant
GetItDone (a beta app)
Some examples of apps that have no problem ever:
Pandora
Last.fm
Facebook
Seesmic
Evernote
all Google apps
On #cyanogenmod, someone suggested there was an issue with APN settings, but I think he misunderstood me. My phone itself is fully authenticated with Google.
never mind
I use the HTC keyboard and I find that it almost systematically inserts a space every time I type a period. This screwed up my username wherever it was my e-mail address.
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.
I'm on MoDaCo r12, and it has worked flawlessly thus far.
All of the sudden Google Talk started telling "Google Talk authentication error", and it keeps playing the notification sound at random and sometimes very often. Additionally Gmail has stopped synchronizing without any notice. Not a single error message!
I have never seen this strangeness in the two years of messing around with Android. Settings -> Accounts and sync sometimes tells me that "Sync is having problems and will be back shortly", but mostly it just doesn't work without telling me about any errors.
The log shows lines like these:
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1373): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {}
Sometimes there will be methods listed in the curly braces, but mostly not.
Code:
W/DefaultRequestDirector( 1406): Authentication error: Unable to respond to any of these challenges: {googlelogin=WWW-Authenticate: GoogleLogin realm="http://www.google.com/accounts/ClientLogin", service=""}
I have tried wiping /cache, re-flashing the ROM image, clearing data in any apps I think might be related to Google services. E.g. Google services framework, accounts, account and sync settings, Talk, Gmail, Market...
I have even tried changing the Google account password twice. The phone notices it and accepts my new password like it normally would, but the issue remains.
This is a @gmail.com account. I have a Google Apps account on my phone also, and that one works fine.
Does anyone have any ideas? I'm about to wipe everything and start fresh, but first I would like to know if anyone has any killer tips on to get rid of this. I'm thinking there might be a cached cookie/auth token or something somewhere that's causing this.

Check your date. Possibly you are either in the past or from the future

That's not it I'm afraid. Using ClockSync, so it was only off by about one second after a reboot just now. I tried fix permissions in despair, but to no avail.
As noted above, my Google Apps account works fine, it's just my gmail.com account that doesn't work. Somehow it seems that Contacts and Calendar are sync'ed. Meaning the time and date of last sync on those are a few minutes ago, but Picasa is dated two days ago, Gmail yesterday.
I checked it on my Nexus One too; it pops up the password prompt (because I changed my pass) and then goes on to synchronize everything perfectly fine. Wtf could cause this! I haven't really done anything but read Twitter, Facebook and some RSS via Pulse before it stopped working. I only updated a couple of apps that is not related in any way and have not changed any system settings.
Fcuk it, I wiped it all and restored apps with titanium backup. All good now.
Hi, i to have a problem with Google account sign in but its with Play store, every time i try to use Play store it asks me to ether use an existing Google account or make a new account even though i have a Google account set up on my phone. So my question is how can i get back on to Play store with my Google account? Tried by removing my account from my phone then going on to Play Store and signed in with my account but when i tried going back to Play store again it asked me to ether make a new account or use an existing account.
I guess its becoz in some parts of the world youtube services has been shutdown and it as affected google services communication badly. I live in pakistan and here we cant access to google play and other google services as well.

Once had the same problem and until I realized I had an error with my baseband, I pulled out a lot of my sparse hair.
Make a good backup and try to flash new bb, then Google will recognize you again (I hope!!!!)
I'm used to using ROMs that don't support backup assistant on my phone so I'm not sure about this.
I would like my Market account to be my Gmail account, not my backup assistant or whatever.
When i first started the phone, I skipped all backup assistant things and added my Gmail. But when i go to Accounts, it still locked with backup assistant.
I need it to be my Gmail account to get all my paid apps.
Do you mean when you go into menu>settings>accounts, you still see the backup assistant account with a lock on it? b/c in the stock ROM, you can't get rid of the account. you can not set it up and it won't do anything, but it's like the stupid VZW bookmarks in the browser or the VZW contacts on your contact list - you can't get rid of them, but you can ignore them.
You should still be able to set up your gmail account; as far as I know, the android market requires a google account. It won't use any other accounts, e.g. facebook, backup assist, etc. Happy to help more if that doesn't answer your question.

Well I know for a fact that the market isnt reading from my google account because it still says I have to pay for the apps i've already paid for.
I would get another ROM but BigDX's theme is only for stock
I'm too lazy to add the PNGs to the new ROM myself...lol
Umm.. You have to use a Google account for the market. Backup assistant is only related to your account info with verizon (ie. your phone #). If your market isn't showing your apps you are logged in with the wrong google account, OR, the apps you had downloaded are not the same apps capable of working on your new device. For example, there are games like Fruit Ninja that have a TegraHD only version that will only show up on Tegra phones, 2 different apps entirely that effectively are the same.
Thanks, i fixed it. I had to delete the account that didnt have my apps on it, clear market then reload it so it only had 1 google account to choose from (i have 2 on my device), the re-add the gogle account that didnt have apps.

In the future, while in the market, you should be able to go to menu>accounts and select the correct account, without deleting/re-adding your accounts.
Glad I could help!
hello!
I have added new google account, removed old google account with which phone was first started&configured since it was new.
Now I have questions:
1. When thief stole my phone and do factory reset from recovery, which account will be needed to sign in (FRP)?
2. I have no apps in play store library, apps which was buyed on old google account are still usable. Is there any way to get all my installed apps into play store library (on new google acc.)
3. I feel that part of my phone still use old google acc. and another part use new account. Am I right?
4. Are any special samsung things to change here? I am asking because samsung have heavily modified android compared to stock.
Thanks for replies.

1) You can test FRP yourself,I think you know this already,The account that the phone was logged into when 1st setting up the phone is the one you'll need to sign-in on a reset.
2) App purchases are not transferable,but,this may help: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7007852?hl=en
3) No way of knowing,a very generic non-specific question. G-Mail has the ability to use several G-mail accounts,guessing you can sign-in to other apps w/various Google accounts,I don't have the need other that the G-Mail app.
4) Use your phone for a while & see what you like & don't like,then use the search function in the Note 9 section for related topics.
The one area I would suggest Googling (& look here & XDA as well) is Note 9 S-Pen Tips & Tricks,or,something to that effect.

Not sure why you want to change everything over to a new account, cause it's a pain in the ass. But here you go:
1. If someone performs an unauthorized factory reset, such as from Recovery or by flashing a firmware through ODIN, it will require the last Google account logged into the phone. Once you remove the first one from your phone, it's no longer on your phone. Whatever Google account you added afterwards or left on it will be the account that looks the device. It's easy to test. Go to accounts and try to remove the current account. You'll get a warning that device protection features will no longer work.
2. As far as using apps paid for from your old Google account. As far as I know, there's no way to transfer them over to a new account. Maybe if you call Google they can do that. Your other option is to log into your old account and set up a family plan and attach your new account. Just make sure you add all your apps on the old account to the family plan.
3. Once you removed your old account under settings, no part of your phone is still using it. It logs you out of that account. What you'll want to do is make sure all your contacts are synced with the new account so you don't lose them.
4. Samsung soes modify Android, but as far as doing anything special for Samsung things you shouldn't have to. Samsung typically keeps Samsung account stuff separate from Google account stuff. Now with Pie, you'll be able to log into your Samsung account using your Google account so you may want to associate your new Google account with your current Samsung account. That's probably done in your Samsung account profile settings, though I'm not really sure.
it's because I have a lot of VPN's and app data configured, it will take days to set all things again. or is there any way to backup all data and then restore it after resetting phone with new google account set?
so far as I know, some data is stored in secured partition where I don't have access, not even google
