Hello,
I'm always skeptical of folks asking for methods to bypass a locked tablet's lockscreen, so let me state that this post won't be one of those.
My 4-yo. locked my TF201 today by entering the incorrect pattern several times, and when I tried to unlock the tablet by signing in with my Google account, the screen appears to turns off and it is rebooted. It only reboots when I enter the correct password. After searching transformerforums and here, I've concluded that this isn't the intended behaviour. Resetting to factory will be a nuisance but not really a big deal, but I would like to know if this problem has been encountered by anyone else and what I can do to avoid it next time.
The tablet is running Virutous Prime ROM with an unlocked bootloader.
The tablet is using a Google account that was created with an external email address (if this is not familiar, you can read about it by searching for "expand2web create-google-account-without-gmail"). I can log in to my Google account and external email account using a browser.
I didn't set the tablet to use the Google account when I first booted it; I set up the Google account about a week later.
The tablet doesn't synchronise anything with the Google account - contacts, calendar, etc.
The tablet is connected to my wireless network because it's been receiving emails while it is currently locked.
Does anyone have an idea what might be causing the problem? I suspect it's the Google account not being a "GMail" account, but I can't test that hypothesis.
I've got a new phone, and both it and my old one show up on Google Play, with the tabs showing the respective apps installed.
The old one is rooted, and I want to let my son use it on his own GMail ID. I've no problem resetting it or loading a completely new ROM.
Is there a proper procedure for dissociating it from my GMail ID and adding it to his. I have a suspicion that if I just change the associated email address in the Google Play settings on the phone, it will still appear on my list of devices.
If his gmail account isn't connected to yours then a factory reset and then add his account and then it should disappear. This means all paid apps would have to be bought again. Idk if google saves the device in your list but you wont have access to it.

Thanks for that - I was wondering how to make sure its tab disappears from my google account - it sounds like it's not possible...
So I'm having issues with google now and reminders.
Be it manually entering or by voice, it shows the reminder saving, but then never appear in my upcoming reminders list.
And obviously, no reminder is played when the time or location comes.
I'm running stock note 2 rooted.
I tried updating to the 4.4 google search along with the launcher, but that didnt fix the issue. So I revert back.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Well, I decided to upgrade (complete wipe) and using a new rom.
Reminders still do not work.
They do work in google Keep ... which is only a work around. However, I found out something interesting.
#1 - I'm not the only one having this problem. And it seems to be random, across multiple devices, including iOS.
#2 - I tried logging into google now with my other google account and it worked!
So something is up between the google account and Now's sync... I can only assume.
Does anyone know of a setting withing gmail or your google account that can cause problems? I tried comparing my two accounts, but couldnt figure it out
Sounds like a Google issue for sure. I'd report it to them.
Experiencing the same problem

I am having PRECISELY the same issue. It started at random, but now my Google account will not display notifications for reminders. One day they were all working perfectly. The next day, they all just stopped cold turkey.
I used my backup Gmail account, and BAM they worked! Just for that account however. After I switched back to my primary Gmail account, they still would not work. I tried so many roms and methods, but I can only conclude that it must be a google account problem. I have been all over Google Dashboard and through every single setting.
I am running the Galaxy Note 3 on T-mobile (hltetmo) with JediElite 4.4.2. Has anyone experienced the same issue?
Thank guys!
UPDATE:
After starting to look again (and actually coming across my own question on google lol) I got it working!
It must have been an update that changed or even added the option.
Just for the hell of it, i was going through the "customize" options and found "Continue to get reminders"
IT was set to "no"
As soon as it turned to yes, all of my test reminders showed up.
recap:
open Google Now > select the "magic wand" on the bottom right > Select Everything Else > set "Continue to get reminders" to yes
Hi all, my MXQ-4K device has stopped being signed into my google account.
When I attempt to re-add the account it gets into a loop of going between add account and selecting Google.
I have reset the device to factory settings about 4 times and I am still getting this issue. Does anyone know of a workaround for this?
Months ago, Google rolled out assistant integration with Messages. For some reason, I never got this feature. If I switch to a different Google account, the Assistant suggestions toggle suddenly appears in Messages. If I switch back to my personal Google account, it disappears again. This remains true regardless of which device I'm on. I've tried reinstalling messages and I've done a factory reset since then.
All this seems to point to something with my Google account being the issue. Like I never got the server side switch to enable this feature. Does anyone else have this issue or know of a way I might be able to force enable GA in Messages?
