Good day,
I have two devices, a Nokia 5 and an iPhone 6 plus, both devices are fine when it comes to general use. But when it comes to accounts, it seems that iPhones don't easily let people delete signed in accounts on their device, usually they ask for a password before you can sign it out
However on my Nokia, sadly anyone can delete it, and if lost or stolen they can just factory wipe the phone, and frp doesn't seem to be present on my device
But regardless on that situation, i just want my account to be more secured that not anyone can just easily remove it.
So is there a way to prevent my google account from being removed? Just like the iPhone, it asks for a password before you can sign it out?

So I am wondering how my new GT will work with my one google account and my Evo.
For example, when I fist started up the GT it asked if I wanted to sync my google account, which I did. I then noticed that it put a bunch of my existing apps from my Evo onto my GT. So I now assume that any app that I have purchased on Evo in my Google account can be installed on my GT & Evo, is this correct?
Are there any disadvantages to using the same google/gmail account on both my GT and Evo? I would hope that using one account on both devices would mesh well and not cause any issues.
I was then also wondering if I should setup a new google/gmail account and leave my gmail account off just in case I let my wife/daughter use the GT. At first I liked the idea of using one account on both but now maybe not, but then I would have to buy all new apps again?
Guess I am just looking for some opinions/ideas on a good way to use both my Evo and GT together.
Thanks
Using one google account between both of your devices won't cause any problem whatsoever. I've been using the same google account on my phone and my tab (first 7" and now 10.1") for about 6 months without issue.
The Android Market (and Amazon App Store) track by both account and by device. I've managed my Evo and two Tabs under the same Gmail account without any issues.
Its the best way to do it. I have a personal email address "****@zakeen.com" that I send through gmail account and I use the gmail program on all my devices.
I was at the airport waiting for someone to come out and I had my phone there, I was writing an email to someone and the person I was waiting for came out, I just turned my phone off. It saves it automatically in the draft folder and later arriving at the hotel I turned my Tablet on and the email I half wrote was on the top of the Gmail account and I just had to finish the last sentence and send it. Did not have to go back to the same device.
Also I think for the future it will be better, like renting movies and that. I dont know much about it but I am sure it will be linked to account then rather device. So you have access to all your things related to your account for easy syncing.
Its all in the cloud. You could have your singular google account synced across as many devices as you'd like I think. If you go to market.android.com you can choose which device you install apps on.
Thanks for the responses everyone, it def seems best to just use one google account. Unless of course you don't want your significant other to see your emails and gtalk messages. Not that I have anything to hide!
Oh yeah, what about GTalk? Will IMs go to both the phone and GT or is that only one login at a time?
You could definitely have IMs go to both devices simultaneously if you're logged in on both.
Hi,
I have Android 2.3 on my phone, like most here. But I'm not familiar with the inner workings of Android.
When I started it up, I created a dummy account. It's the one used for Android Market, so Google uses that account to track installed programs and purchased programs. When I did that, it looks like the whole OS got associated with that account - the first time I used that gmail program, it also logged into that dummy account.
I do have a personal gmail account that I want my emails, but I also don't want all my google searches and location tracked to my personal account. Not doing anything illegal, just don't want the big brother looking over me.
How can I make the gmail app use a separate account than the one associated with the OS?
It may make you feel more comfortable, but I promise you Google already knows more about you than you want them too. regardless of how many accounts you associate or don't associate with your phone. All of this info ends up on big Gs servers one way or another. They keep your phones unique ID and the email addresses associated with it - so all they need to do is query your ID and find both of your gmail addresses and call them both "you".
But to your point. You can add both accounts to the phone, but the "First" account will always be treated as the primary account--Getting all of your search history and what not.
In Gmail you can tap the email address in the top right hand corner to switch inboxes/account being viewed.
Hello,
I am sure there are numerous applications for GPS tracking and remote controlling/wiping all the data and settings pattern/numeric access codes for your mobiles.
Problem is that executing these safety measures are somehow dependent on certain other factors and can have successful or unsuccessful consequences.
I am thinking of anything more basic and hassle free way of ensuring that even in worst condition I can have certain peace of mind that my critical gmail account data would not be accessed for unauthorized use. For example when it was unlocked for use and meanwhile it was lost or snatched how can I be sure that my google account information specifically gmail/maps are safe. I know I can change the password by reaching to a nearby PC, but that is not always a possibility.
I have got my Samsung Galaxy S2 for more than a month and just figuring out a safe way before putting it in active use.
An idea which I am thinking of is to have another Gmail account specifically for use with Android Phone, and import/export the actual "Contacts" only to this new email account. Since contacts are the most frequently used item, they would be in sync with the new email account, any delta changes would have to be replicated to your original gmail account as well.
I dont use Picasa, so it is of no importance to me to sync the pictures with picasa account.
For access to my actual gmail and other emails (like work email) I can use an add on email android applications like K9-Mail to configure the gmail as IMAP. To get access to this email program I can install any application which can password protect the access to applications and can reactivate the password after any time of inactivity. I dont know whether in such case would I get popup in the notification bar for new emails or not.
The only two most used applications now left are
- Maps and Latitude
- Google Plus
Now both of them need to be used with my actual gmail account, since all contacts and connection are related to my actual identity on google.
So i need to know that is it possible to use one gmail (fake/secondary) account on android phone just for syncing contacts and use another actual (primary/original) account for logging in the official google maps and google plus applications. I know even in this case the password needs to be changed in case of a mishap, however I can be a bit satisfied that all critical data in the email storage is safe.
I just need your opinions and suggestion on the mentioned procedure, or is there any other good and recommended practice for getting multiple accounts configured on Android Phone and selectively use the google accounts for different applications.
Thanks for your inputs.
Hmm...seems like everyone is so sure of the safety of their handset, no one even gives a s*** to think about the worst-case scenario of losing a device.
Cheers...hope everyone retains the droid for life..

Edit: oops, i was supposed to post this on the Q&A.... Sorry, my bad
I have a S7. It used to power up fine and go to the main screen. Now it boots up like it is brand new. It wants to connect to the internet and asks for a gmail account. I don't have that gmail account for this phone. It was given to me. How can I bypass this to just use the phones apps and wifi to the internet? No paid service.
Thanks
Joe
When in doubt. Youtube it.
Well I still have questions. Do I have to do a restore defaults? Or clear data? I want to keep whats on the phone.

You disable FRP by doing
Go to Settings.
Choose Cloud and Accounts - on some devices, this may be just Accounts and then you’ll skip the next step.
Tap Accounts.
Find and tap your Google account.
Tap Remove Account.
The only problem is I can't get into the phone. It powers up and there is a start button. Then the internet, then sign in to the google account assigned to the phone. I need to get around that.

If you have USB debugging enabled on your phone, then to remove FRP lock you can try out Windows app called GSM Flasher ADB FRP Bypass Tool .
Ok I am in. There are so many different ways it's not funny. I do have another question. The phone comes up with the old number that was put in the phone. Can it be removed? Also can activation incomplete be removed as well?
