A friend of mine told me to come to this website since it is the only one with professionals assisting people, so here I am. I was told to be exact, to provide as much information as I could so I hope you bear with me.
I just recently bought a Galaxy S3 from Amazon, Everything worked fine - and the phone is awesome. SamsungDive worked and there were no problems. Then comes the tinkering.
1. I rooted my phone, mostly for MarketEnabler. No problems, everything went successful. Files used:
- CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
- Odin3 v1.85
Then I wanted to change my country to USA, to bypass purchasing blocks, and I read on the net that you needed to delete your Samsung account (which I now see was not necessary), which I did. Then I made a new one, which also was successful.
HOWEVER
After making the new account, now my SamsungDive doesn't work. New account and email address is set up, same with account in phone, which syncs without problem, but remote control doesn't work. I made sure that the location controls within the phone are correctly set up, and the account confirms it.
Can anyone tell me why my SamsungDive stopped working after root and Samsung account deletion?
Any help would be MOST appreciated. I'm a psychologist and I need to be able to lock my phone, regarding contacts and other sensitive data if I loose it.
Please assist!
****ADDED FOR CLARIFICATION****
The nature of it not working is that I always get "REGISTER YOUR MOBILE NOW", even though I've gone through and confirmed all the steps as working as they should work.

I had a similar problem. What I did to fix it was delete my Samsung account again, then wait 24 hours to re-create it.
This seemed to fix all the issues I was having and SamsungDive worked again.

Thanks for your response.
I used this method I found with search and it worked. Meant that I had to buy Titanium Backup, but it did not matter, I was so happy to get it fixed.

Hello all,
I am sorry if I didn't do a throughout search but I needed help urgently..
and so...
I was playing with a friend's Hero's pattern lock, until it got locked till the extent whereby only inputting the gmail's account details were the only way to unlock it...
He tried to input the particulars, but they didn't work..
he was rather sure that the details were correct..
Anyone can provide any help to this?
Is there any way to "rollback" to the lock screen? I am sure my friend remembers the pattern... just that we couldn't go back ):
Or do we need some kind of internet connection to connect to verify for the account?
Anyone who have experience, I appreciate your help! (and everyone else)
Thanks!
is the phone rooted ? do you have access to the recovery menu ?
No I don't think so... my friend just recently got the phone and has done pretty much nothing other than installing apps from the app store...
He's a first time user of Android too... (so am I...)
Btw, recovery menu wise, do you mean the one whereby he holds a few of the buttons and on the device?
Yea, we managed to get there,
but didn't make any selections because there were some important messages inside the phone... and he doesn't want to hard reset his phone...
Any help? :/
Well if you are on the original stock rom that got shipped with the phone (I assume its 1.5), then I do remember a bug which didnt allow us to get through that menu. So we needed to do a hard reset.
If it has the 1. 5 Rom you can call the phone and disable the unlock pattern. You can do this by going into settings while the call is still being made.
Don't know if you're understanding this. This is the best way to explain.

I've done this a few times accidentally and the Google sign-in has always unlocked it.
Get him to log into his Gmail account on a PC to check his username and password, and then try the same details on the phone. If he's signed in with the correct user account then it should work if everything has been input correctly.
Also, when the phone tries to auto-complete his email address make sure it's correct... my phone always wanted to give me @Googlemail.com, however my email is @Gmail.com so I had to manually change it.
As for apps he has downloaded from the Market... if you do need to do a hard reset then he will be able to download everything again via the downloads tab in the Market app,
Also, any photos, mp3s etc stored on the SD will all still be there as the SD remains unaffected by a reset. The only thing he might loose is any contacts stored on the phone which are not sync'd with Google or saved on the SIM.

Can anyone get this to work? It has some good features, but my serial does nothing when input, it just stays at "sending". It looks like there is security, messaging, contacts, sim security, erase data, and some more, but I cant get past this first screen!
edit: got it, used my google account to sign in instead and it worked

Well, since ANY wifi-only device MUST be connected to the Internet for any kind of device tracker system to send/receive the requisite data, perform remote actions, etc., I'd say it could locate itself via wifi. It wouldn't be precise, but then again most devices wouldn't be very precise if they're well inside a building. Good luck trying to manage any wifi-only device that's driving down the road, unless the person in possession of it is kind enough to tether it to the their phone.
Didn't even realize Asus provided such a service.. Logged in, it showed me on the map.. Although, not in my building. Apparently I'm just sitting off in the corner of the parking lot..
But the lock, and ring worked. Of course I don't feel the need to do a remote wipe at this time.
wouldn't work for me, got sending
I have registered and also used my gmail account and neither my registration info or gmail is working.
After selecting the agreement, I keep getting page not found. Tried it on laptop and Prime
Any suggestions
Mine sticks at sending as well...
Interesting thing is that there's an about screen in the help files that's taken from a Dev/Review unit. (Or at least a unit produced way earlier than anyone else's, circa October 2011)

It will locate your prime to within a 100 mile radius !
Just tested this and it actually located my prime inside a building with gps off.
I couldn't get this to work, either.

I had already tried this. Several times
I guess one of the many many reported errors, did not indeed err; this time upon login, "TF201" was displayed in the drop-down and my Prime was registered and found. Perplexing lol, at least it's working now.
I am wondering if this is a know issue or possibly a bug with CM7. Today I was messing with settings and I turned off the syncing setting. After doing this I got a google voice error. I then turned syncing back on, but still got error. I went to the market and tried to do a update and kept getting the -101 error (which from what I could find is a know error code). To resolve it as explained in the xda forum was to remove google account and sign back into gapps. Well the only way to remove your account is to reformat and start from square one. If this is a known issue, then I guess this post will be good for newbs like me as something not to do EVER. If not maybe it is something that can be resolved by the devs so not to happen. So far this is the only issue I have found, this after setting up 5 NT's for co-workers so I have tested and messed with a lot of setting.
Update: I found that this issue was not caused by disabling syncing on device. Coincendence of time of issue. Issue is caused by basically taking a CWM backup from one NT and restoring to another NT which is essentially a clone copy. When wifi is turned on to both devices is when the error occurs and I am thinking is a naming convention issue. If a resolution is found I will update the post. Thanks go to those that helped me by making me keep testing until I actually found the root issue.

Not allowed --- "This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the setting application, under privacy."
Trust me if it were that easy I would not have posted. Thanks for the response though.
if the above mentioned doesn't work just delete accounts.db and reboot
hard reset your phone by settings , privacy options .
then reconfigure your phone .
"if the above mentioned doesn't work just delete accounts.db and reboot"
I tried to to the delete accounts.db method and as soon as I launched market it created the account and the save issue was still present. I still had to do the hard reset and reconfigure as stated below.

That is what I did do. However, the question is, is this a known isssue with all android devices if you disable sync that you have to hard reset your device and reconfigure or is it a glitch with cm7. I have never had a android device before so I can't test it to see if this is just how it is.
Thanks.
Now that I think about it more, if you were trying to delete the only (last?) account on the device it makes sense to make you reset. The first thing you must do when booting up is add an account ... if you want to delete the only account, it makes sense that the device would need to be restored to "out of the box" (so to speak) condition.
Perhaps what one could try is adding a second account, deleting the first, readding the first, and deleting the second (optional).

I did have 2 accounts and it doesn't give you an option when you reformat, it just wipes. Trust me I tried to do anything to avoid having to reset everything. What I didn't understand is after formatting why I could not restore my backup. I tried and same error. I had a backup off another NT I setup for a friend it worked fine. I really don't know I just know that at no point should anyone ever, never ever, turn sync off or you will be spending half the day setting your tablet up again.

Hmm ... why don't you post the exact steps you took. I'm willing to attempt this to see what happens, but I want to know exactly what you did.
Sort of related to this. I changed my Gmail password and now none of the Gapps work on the NT. When I open the Market it asks me to add an account but the window closes. Same thing happens in Gmail.
I installed NT HIdden Settings but I dont see the option to add or change the Google Account.
Any ideas?

Issue now has been duplicated and I know exactly what I did to cause the error. It has nothing to do with changing the sync setting on the device. It was just coincendance that it appeared at that time. I have been setting up multiple devices for friends of mine. A couple of the like how my device was setup so to save time, I loaded cm7 on their device and then using my backup made from cwm I used that to restore to their device and I had a exact clone. I deleted the acounts.db, cleared data setting on market app and rebooted and everything work, until, turning on wifi to both devices. Bam error occurs, which I assume is do to matching naming convention/mac addressing. The funny thing is whatever device is turned on first crashes and the other stays running normally. And you are right deleting accounts.db and clearing data on market worked to restore once I figured out what was happening. The other day I had left the other device wifi on the whole time so every time that I did the delete it would just fail again until I did the reformat. So after saying all this I will ask you (I sent Celtic a PM explaing issue) is there a way to give a somewhat cloned device a unique name so not to cause a conflict. I see under development that there is a device name, but I would not know how to go about changing correctly.
Thanks for the help so far. That is what I guess for trying to take shortcuts when working on so many NT at the same time. I also have a NC that I am also working on. Good experience I guess.
Hello All,
I am having issues with my email.apk, specifically there is no option to sync tasks although Samsung indicates that there should be. Samsung wants me to do a hard reset...I am thinking that I could try a working email.apk. So if someone who has access to an email.apk (stock or not), I would be ever so grateful if they could post it.
I am attempting to extract it from one of the uploaded .img files, but since I am learning the Android environment (coming from WM6) it is taking me a while to figure out how to do things...although I am learning.
I am currently using Da_G overclocked rom and have already soft bricked my phone a couple of times but have backups of everything and am getting the hang of it.
Thanks in advance!

Hey Mad383Max,
So, I still cannot enable syncing of tasks with my corp Exchange server. The mail and calendar work fine. I am slowing trying to learn how to modify apks to hopefully get this to work. Thanks for you help!
Is it an exchange account? I have set up a few for people in our company. If it is, can you list the steps you are using. We have a manager who works for us named Karen walker. That was what caught my eye on your post.
Nevermind i see now where you say it is an exchange account. No synchronize of tasks. Let me check something.

Just a quick question. Have you gone into settings/accounts &sync/(your exchange account name here) and checked to make sure that task is checked? I know it is basic but often overlooked.

I did try this and the funny thing is that I do not even have an option for Sync Tasks...only have Sync Contacts and Sync Calendar. When I called Samsung, they said I should have this option. Samsung me to do a factory reset, which I am trying to avoid, and am not sure would really solve anything for the trouble.
I have another Android phone and use Touchdown. I have no problem syncing tasks on that phone.
Thank you for trying to help!
I need your help. For days I've been trying to access my Google Account that created my dad on the z5c. Since I did not remember the pin of the screen unlock I did a hard reset flashing the latest version downloaded by xperiafirm. But when I turned on, I was asked for my Google Account again. For days now I am trying to retrieve my password, but I can not do it. I read the same discussion on a z5, but there was no solution because it was assumed to be a stolen cell phone, the same thing that Google believes for mine I suppose...
Unfortunately, I passed the account I used on my xzp and done it, after which my father created another account on the z5c, leaving it unused for a couple of months. And now that I wanted to use it as a second phone I can not access it anymore. Is there any solution that you will not continue to try to unnecessarily restore your account from the Google page? Unfortunately they do not even have a telephone help, they only have a forum support center in which I keep saying that I must insist on trying to recover password ... I hope in a solution.
I don't get it... a full flash process is supposed to erase everything, so the prompt should ask you to sign-in or create a new account. Am I missing something ?

It asks to sign in with my account witch I'have forgotten password...
okay, but according to what you wrote, it seems that you're stuck at the prompt. If you can't create a new account, you are likely trying to access to a locked phone, meaning it might be stolen actually (and of course you probably did not flash it). If it is really yours, you can recover your password. Otherwise, nothing can help.

I apologize for my clarity. I'm trying to retrieve the password through the Google passes for several days, but with no results. The phone is mine, then given to my dad when i bought xz premium, he created this new account forgot the passwords and left for 3 or 4 months unused. Now I can not retrieve that password, although I'm always connected to the same WiFi network and I do not understand why Google does not recognize me as a proprietor, I tried to contact them in the forum where they do "help" but they tell me that l The only way is to endlessly try their questions
don't apologize, you're welcome. The fact is that, if you're not able to recover the password, nothing on the world would do a miracle. I'm sorry if you have some datas that you would get back, but the only solution for you is to create a new account. Don't waste your time trying to sign in.

Ahaha thank you bro :highfive:
No, the point is that I do not care about the data because there was nothing apart from music saved by my father. Also because before I gave it I reset the phone and then he created this new account. The point is, Google does not make me create a new account, but wants that created by my father.
If someone needs them, I've resolved doing the downgrade to Android 5 lollipop ?.
