I create account months ago in order to use Nova launcher, but recently i notice that I got delays with updates so i check my region account or in the phone.
I can't find the region in settings only in the vivo account page i now I see says india, but also I can't change it from there either.
Already enter the account from the browser and also see an option to change that?
Is there a way to change that in the phone or in the vivo account? Maybe because I am in India updates doesn't arrive fast
Indian accounts restrict features. Create a new account from V-Appstore. Use phone verification. That should get you a Chinese account and enable all features.

Which restrictions for example?
Not sure. I'm not Indian and I've always had a Chinese account. It's a good while back but there were some posts where people couldn't figure out why certain options weren't present on their Chinese vivo device which turned out to be because they were logged in to an Indian account.

How did you create a Chinese account without having a Chinese phone number for SMS verification? Please share! Thank you!
@tastyounguy just use your local number

Country of residence?
How can you select china in there? Everything is in Chinese
@Kenshin1870 afaik the country is automatically assigned with no way to change it. You might need a VPN to create a Chinese account in India. Also those are Chinese provinces, not countries.

I did not select 'Location' because indeed everything is in Chinese. I was talking about 'Country of registration' which is the bottom field. This last field has the value 'China' for me, but I live in the Netherlands. I cannot recall if I used a VPN or not...

I created an Android application that periodically emails your phones location to you.
It is completely private- no third party services involved. The phone uses your own Gmail account to send the mail to yourself.

Phone Finder, it's on the market.
Anyone having issues with the Android market switching default accounts for the market to the first one in alphabetical order? I have three accounts on my N1, let's call them john, mary and pete. When I first logged in to the phone (after a clean install), I used pete to sign in on the first screen. I then added the mary and john accounts. Now, more recently, when I open the market, it defaults to john, and not pete. I know others are have the issue in other devices (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283644)
Anyone know of a fix?
Mine has been having similar issues, but on mine, it isn't being done alphabetically. In fact, the email address is located in the middle of my accounts, and the name of the account the furthest from the beginning of the alphabet.
No clue on how to fix it

Yeah I have been having the same issues. I now have two applications tied to my secondary account and it is very annoying. :/
Seems to keep switching to the most recently added account...
Having the same issues, it also asks me to install an app I already have under my main account. This is stupid
It's a bug in the new market. My LG G2X is doing that also. Only happens when I click on updates found in the notification bar. Very annoying.
Hmm, mine stays on the first-added Google account even after later adding two more Google accounts to the phone. You guys running stock ROMs? I'm on CM7...

That is impressive fanz... Not sure I want to know how you are managing that
Mine has been hit and miss. It started auto-updating apps for my secondary account (which I never had tied to the market) one day, and now I can't get those apps to update under my main account. I am about to completely remove that secondary account, because it is really annoying.

F*ing Swype.
Not sure if this solved the problem but it hasn't done it since I did this.
-Use Titanium backup and wipe Market data.
-Settinngs> Account & sync> delete the account you DON'T want market to use. (if more than one delete them all) leave only the account you want to use for Market.
-Now open Market and accept the terms
-back to Account & sync and add back the google account(s) you deleted.
-Remember now in Market NEVER to select any Google account you don't want it to use. Because once you click on another account you'll be ask to accept the terms.
If you choose yes you just authorized another market account, if you choose no market will close but next time you open market you'll get the box asking to accept t&c of the other google account

I have tried this or some variation and it kind of works, but market still notifies you to update apps from other accounts! When you click the notification you get the agreement box and you can't exit!
So i was using Pure Nexus rom 7.0 for my nexus 6. And i was using 2 step verification with sms option.
But because i was logging in a lot out of my PC and didn't receive the sms codes sometimes, i decided to try Google Authenticator app. Biggest nightmare of my life.
I disabled the sms option to try make the app the default way for using 2 step verification.
Then a Pure Nexus Nougat 7.1.1 rom came out and i wiped everything, without making a nandroid backup (yes i know, so stupid of me).
When i wanted to logged in to my account it asked for a code from Google Authenticator app which is not installed in my phone so i had no way to log in.
I had to ask from help from Google which is apparently has the worst costumer services i have ever seen. I filled the account recovery form which asks me when i created my google account(like i would ever remember) and then i ask me to provide all the details i can.
This week my 5th request to recovery for the account was rejected. Sadly, i get an auto email from google telling me that they couldn't verify i'm the rightful owner. They asked me for more details, but wont tell what details that could be. i have no idea what can i do to prove then im the owner.
What a disappointment from google that i cant even attach photos to the request and that all they do is to tell me to provide more details with an auto message, with no guidance.
Oh, and btw i posted in the google nexus forum and was told the exact same thing as the auto -reply email.
Anyone here had he's account recovered and can tell what detail to provide?

Yep. I used it more times than I want to count, in trying to resolve OK Google issues on Pure Nexus.
You can still choose to obtain SMS with verification code which will be automagically pasted in appropriate field.
Just look around your UI before lashing out.
i have one Nexus 6 with NBD91P build which is locked with google account (FRP),

Yeah. Get ahold of the account owner. There are some tut around on how to get past it, You will need an otg flash drive to do it. I know it works as I had to do it to a few devices this weekend and it worked on all of them without fail. Completely bypassed all security.

As i mentonied i canceled the sms option because i wanted the app authenticator to be the default option
i cant access 2 step verifcation setting because i cant it asks me to relog again to the account and asking the code from the app, so im stuck.

There should be a link that says something like "Having trouble?" below the field where you would enter the authenticator code. Tap that and you will get a list of options, one of which is to verify via text message.
Getting such a text does not change defaults.

Just to cover one more possibility that you haven't mentioned, did you not print the 10 authentication codes that you can use for exactly your situation?
Failing that, maybe zelendel can give you some advice on the procedure he mentioned above?
Edit: on rereading the thread, maybe I'm getting confused because mirosaw2 has posted a question which seems to be related to his device, not his account, and therefore (if I'm correct) should not have been posted in this thread because it's a different question and zelendel's answer doesn't apply to the OP's problem.

There are two different discussions going on. However, you are correct in that he should have the emergency codes. If he doesn't, he should be able to get them easily enough.

well it looks like you'll just have to contact google and let them help you.
@Strephon Alkhalikoi
"he should be able to get them easily enough"
But if he hasn't got access to his account, and Google are playing hardball, how can he get the codes now?
By signing in on his PC. Unless he didn't click the box near where it says "Don't ask again on this computer" on the Google sign-in screen, he won't need an authentication code to access his account. Other devices and services requiring access to Google still need to go through the authenticator.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the problem. I understand that the OP doesn't have access to his Google account at all, therefore he can't validate his phone, but also can't sign into Google on his PC. Maybe he can clarify that for me?

He set up the Google Authenticator on his N6 because of his frequently accessing his Google account on the PC. Apparently he disabled SMS retrieval in his account, and then wiped his device. Now when he tries to activate the account on the N6 he can't because the account requires an authentication token. Google cannot verify that he is who he says he is and thus will not give him a code.
Unless he set up his PC to automatically authenticate his account upon login, he won't be able to authenticate his account. That means he's locked out of everything and will have to make a new account. He'll also have to find a way to bypass FRP on the N6, as he'll get locked out trying to activate.
Hi guys! Each time I open Hicare it tells me that the service is available in my country/region. It states that I need to log in with an account for this region.
The thing is that I am already logged in. I'm not able to change to a different account.

I create a vivo account from my computer them i put it on my x90 pro plus, to use nova launcher, all was fine, i dig in on store (themes, always on screen) etc. And i had to install some apps to gain coins and them change those coins for themes, or somethin else.
Today, suddenly i try the same tactics, but it says something like this "you can'y use this child account on this feature" them i went to accoun info in the phone and i see, name, date of birth, gender is empty, try to fill up that info, and it says "sorry, this feature is "sorry this feature isn't available right now" so i went with my pc to the vivo account to change that and the menu it doesn't show those options like the phone shows.
Any ideas?

Yeah, the only fully-functional Vivo account is a Chinese one. That's also the only one that you can request accout deletion from for example. The only way to make it outside China that we've found so far is to go through V-Market app and register new account through there. The important thing is to register with phone+password (account with password). It will ask for your phone number, but will still allow you to choose your region - and you need to choose China there.
wait what? You need a Vivo account to install Nova? What else do you need this account for?

changing system launcher permanently requires account password, yeah. Or it will go back to default every time you hit Home
Unlocking Developer options will ask for password if I remember it right. Cloud features like 'Find phone" or sms/call history backup obviously need an account. I think that's about it
ok - well, as long as it's in English, should be fine to create an account if it's a one-off thing.

create a email account (it will be India region) if you just need to unlock few features and be done with it. No need to give them a phone number that way and if you don't need cloud functions you won't see any difference.

I created the account from the phone itself, when it asked for a phone number, I entered my Czech number and I received the sms verification and that was it.
Btw if you use phone make sure to remove Vivo account from the phone before you change that number should you do so. Otherwise you maybe unable to remove that account and e.g. should you tben on top forget your account password that could brick your phone (not possible to hard reset without Vivo account password)...
Really bad idea therefore to create that account with disposable or virtual number/email...
