Google Play Store account issue - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

when I can go to Playstore it uses gmail account I don't want to, i don't have that account chosen, I don't have it in Sync either.
Playstore one time takes 1 account and sometimes 2nd account, totally unpredictible...
Any ideas what to do ?

Without a Gmail account you will not be able to access the Play Store.

I'm using gmail account, I have several of them setup on my phone(Galaxy S3), but the problem is that it uses randomly those accounts and won't use the one that is chosen as default.

Yes I did that, but then why when I want to install app in that window shows different gmail account ? and not the one selected in settings ?

Have you tried removing the other accounts from the Play Store completely ?

I don't see option to remove accounts from the Play Store, I know it works if I remove the from Android>Google Gmail settings, but from Play store no. I see only Add feature, but no remove.

[Q] Market wont open [says account needed]

I just changed to MiniCM7 2.1.3 rom ,
and I noticed I had no market,
fine, I just downloaded an apk file of the market but when I open it
It tells me that:
"
You must add an account to the device to continue.
Do you want to add one now?
[Yes] [No]
"
I press Yes , ready to add this mysterious account then it just exit the market and go back to the previous page without doing anything..
I also have a picture but I cant post it here cause im new in this forum
so if anyone wants me to PM him the picture just comment
I think that maybe he wants me to add my google account to the phone,
but I dont know how, or maybe I'm wrong,
Can please someone help me?
thanks in advance to everyone who can help !
Yes you need a google acount to log in to the market.

and 2 check-boxes of secure connection and accept all SSL certificates

Open The Market (Program) And Sign In on Google . ( Background Data Enable ! ) And If Yor Oprator Is Blocked , You Need Market Enabler !
Have You A G Account ???
I'm stuck with the same problem. My phone was already hooked up to my Gmail account, and I even purchased something a couple of days ago... however now when I try to open up the Market I get
"You must add an account to the device to continue.
Do you want to add one now?
[Yes] [No]"
Whichever I press the window just closes. I've tried a new Market APK as well as Market Enabler and nothing works.

[Q] Updated ROM - where are my apps?

Think it may have to do with setting up a different gmail acct than the one I use with Google Play on previous ROM. regardless, now I just have a dozen or so generic apps instead of all my previously installed ones. Help!
If you change to a diffrent Google account only sideloaded apps (apps not loaded through Google) will stay on the device. All other apps has to be re-installed through the new Google account.
At least I think that's how it is...

Yep, that's how it is. Play Store apps are linked to the account on your device. With that being said, though, you can also have two Google accounts on one device -- add another Google account in System Settings, and you'll be able to select which account is active when you're using the Play Store.
[Can't seem to add another gmail acct. under Settings...when I go under ADD Account and hit Google it takes me back to previous screen in Settings

[Q] Exchange support not showing in Gmail app

I'm coming from an HTC M8 and have been using my work exchange emails from within the Gmail app since support was added late last year. However, the gmail app on the S6 Edge does not have Exchange as an option when adding an account - just POP and IMAP.
Is there something I'm missing, or has Samsung disabled email clients other than their own from using exchange?
Have you updated all the apps in the Play Store?
I'm having the same issue on my Galaxy S6. All of my apps have been updated in the Play Store. Any ideas? I don't want to have to run two email apps to get my work email... (I really hate exchange servers)

I believe if you disable the stock email app then you will also disable the exchange function in Gmail.

I can't speak to that as I haven't disabled the stock email app, however I did find a solution to this problem as discussed in another thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/themes-apps/gmail-exchange-support-t3070884
The problem appears to be that Samsung blocks the Google Exhange APK in the Play Store. However, you can still download the APK and install it after enabling 3rd Party Software installs in security settings, then it will work. You can get Google's APK here: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ge-services-6-5-1729047-android-apk-download/

Do you like using Gmail over the built in app? I was actually pleasantly surprised by it.
I do. Option wise its good, quick, simple layout.

Google calendar and contacts not working

Hi guys!
I recently bought the mi pad 4 and so far I'm pretty happy with it. I downloaded the Google play store installer from xiaomi's webpage and so I got the play store up and running.
However the calendar and contacts app by Google don't seem to connect to my Google account. Contacts stays empty (only showing the few contacts that use telegram) and the calendar app shows a placeholder account, look at the attached image.
I would really like to also use those two apps on my tablet and would love if someone could help me.
Thanks in advance¡
Best wishes

i was facing the same problem, here was how i solved it:
Give all permission, or at lease the permission to modify your contact, to Google Account Manager, Google contact sync and the Google contact app.
Allow these app to started by other apps, in the startup settings.
Also I tried to install google contact sync version 9 but it doesn't work, i downgrade to 8 and contact appear in the google sync option.
As for the calendar issue, try login within the calendar app.
Try to install Google Calendar and Phone apps and they will ask for activating the calendar and contact sync. Of course you need to say "yes".
The above method works for me.
didn't get the prompt to grant certain permissions for those apps, but finally I've managed. Alot of permissions had to be granted manually to both contacts and calendar app and google services.
thanks for the help, guys!
work for me

thanks for thats trick. thats work for me. :good:
I was able to make Calendar work using this method but I can't fix Contacts using this method. I wonder if I use xiaomi.eu ROM, will it fix contacts and calendar problems?

is anyone having problems linking their calenders with the m20p???

i got my m20p on thanksgiving eve, been playing with it. It just came to me that my calendar from google is not showing up in the calendar app, where i had no problems with the m9, and m10p. can someone please help me with that??? i did try adding an account to the calendar app, but its saying the account is already being used.
thanks
I gave up with the stock app as it kept complaining about needing internet connectivity & other annoyances while using it, so I've downloaded Google's own Calendar app from the Play Store & removed the built in one. The only issue with this is that when pressing the Date in the notification menu, it doesn't go through to the calendar app (they've hardcoded it to launch com.android.calendar), but that's only a minor complaint really...

In the account settings of the calendar app can't you select your account (smt like [email protected]) in the Gmail account section, and deselect MyCalendar?
