Hi,
My daughter has received a present - a Galaxy Watch 5. He is 10, and she has a Google supervised account that I manage through the Family Link. Her phone is also supervised by the Family Link. When setting up the phone with her, I could not move the Google account from the phone to the watch - it keeps saying that the google account cannot be moved.
As a result, she cannot use Play Store to install additional applications on the watch.
Is there a way to set the google account on the watch somehow? Or is the only way to get the apps to sideload these somehow to the watch?
Thanks

I rooted the device and used my google account.
But it is a gift for my wife and now the calender does not get the info from her google account.
Maybe this is because google play uses my account.
How to proceed to switch google play to her account?

This worked for me. My account can't post external links yet to so google "Change the account of the Android market on the kindle fire". Look at the 4th post on an androidcentral thread.
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?

Easily.. Wipe it with twrp
So, I have 2 tablets that are configured almost identically. One uses gmail, the other uses google inbox. As the one that uses inbox is mine, I'm going to have to use that one for the diagnoses. and get it to the other one to fix. So, First, I followed the instructions form this thread the only difference is I did kindle.kso instead of just .kindle for the removal. Then I proceeded to install the app store from this thread which seemed to work. Now when ever I launch google inbox, it crashes, and it was doing the same for gmail on my wife's computer. I also don't get any persistent notifications, like I would on my phone when I use things like Google Play Music where I could pause, play, or skip the song I am at. (I did get notifications just now saying I got some emails though... I hope we can resolve this issue (or that a root method is finally found...) asap. Thank you for your assistance in advance.
another thing to note is Google Play music, and the play store don't see the micro SD card that's in the fire.
So i got Google PLay store to load onto my sons Fire 7.
I downloaded Sandbox color by number on the adult account now i need to make it able so my son can get to it.
But when i go to edit his account it wont let me add that to his account.
Any idea how to add Google Play apps to the Amazon profile.
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
