Chrome on Android changes my settings - what to do? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, I would like to know if its some option to get back the previous settings in Chrome on Android - on Lenovo TB3 730x (not rooted)?
I wasnt log in to my google account in Chrome browser on my tablet but I was log in to my several google accounts in Gmail, so every user names with its password were remembered by the browser and when I wanted to change my google account to look to gmail or another website, where I was logged by google account I didnt need to fill the password. But then I found I could sync tablet through my main google account and after this sync all my others google usernames and password were deleted - every previous autofill forms are clear. And its not even in my google account (nothing in password.google.com) sync as long as I wasnt log in before the sync.
Is there some option I can get my browser to that previous memory?
Is that somewhere in the caches or saved in internal storage?
Is it possible to find it so browser will reremember that again?
If yes how can I do it?
I am quite technical type, but not IT expert or developer .
Thank you in advance for Your recommendations and tips.
Tom

Nobody knows or have experience with that?

[Q] archos not getting google push updates

I have a Nexus One and an A70s.
The A70 doesn't appear to be getting any push updates e.g. email, I have to manually sync/refresh such apps. Ditto with stuff like chrome to phone only works to my N1 and the A70 appears purely 'passive'.
Anyone know if this is an A70 specific issue or a general 'multiple android devices against same gmail account' issue?
cheers
i use my google account on 2 android dev. at same time. no problem.
also i use internet mail with google at the same time. so 3 logins at the same time are no problem.
the archos 101 has an option for background data. look at settings Account and sync. ( i have german soft on my dev. so similar to it) there u should have your google account. tab on it and u may have yur email kalendar and contacts.
there u can aktivate automatic sync. at the previous screen u can also enable sync for google account and all sub posotions.
I hope this was clearly enough.

[Q] Google Web Login Required

I searched around and have not found anyone posting with the same issue but I cannot figure it out.
In the notifications section at the top of my touchpad there is constantly a message from google.
It has the g icon and it says "Google Web login required."
I tried signing in to every google option I could find and even went on to my gmail account through the browser and nothing I do removes this message....
Anyone have any suggestions?
try removing your google account from account settings and readding it.
I've had the same issue and you need to unlock your google account using the captcha. Just google "google captcha" and unlock the account.
you don't have two step authentication enabled on your google account do you?
have the same issue and did the whole unlock thing and still have the issue. And no I do not have 2 step verification nor do I want it. If that is going to be a requirement to use an email client then screw gmail I will go back to just using yahoo which is my main email. What is with google and making things anti user, they have to make everything so convoluted. All yahoo does is similar to what my bank does when I add a new billpay, just sends a confirmation email with a link to disable it if you did not add it. Got that when I added my yahoo email to my touchpad, and it is working fine. But no google has to have their 2 step verification, sorry I do not want that hassle, even if it is just once a month, its complete overkill.
anyway, I just set it to update manual only so I don't get that annoying message every 2 minutes if I keep getting it will just delete the account, still working fine on my android phone.

Problem with Android Market after Factory Reset.

Hey all, I have stock,non-rooted,locked, OTA'd rezound.
I've tried everything in the general forums for this problem, so now I'll come here and ask to see if anyone has any other possible solutions.
I've done multiple factory resets today, and tried several different methods of re-adding my google account (which is a google apps for your domain account) so it's not @gmail.com but @mydomain.com
Everything works great, sync, gmail app, gtalk, youtube.. you name it. Great. Even the market place, for downloading 'free' apps.
As soon as I try and download an app I have to pay for I get a little window that pops up that says "Google sign-in You entered the wrong password or your account has changed. Please re-enter your password. Username [email protected]" and then just fails to accept my actual password. (i've tried changing my password a few times too!)
Here's everything I've tried:
1. Clearing the Market App Data and Cache.
2. FactoryReset: try and use the old market app before it gets updated.
3. Youtube account issue: disabled the youtube service on my google app domain, and factory reset- and tried again... no dice.
4. Tried putting on a real @gmail.com domain, and that works just fine. try and switch to @mydomain and it fails again.
I've done a factory-reset before every different style of attempt. I'm guessing something else is going on :-\
When I logon to the market through the web, I can purchase apps and they install without a problem! So it's something to do with the market app.
Anyway, just looking for any other ideas I may have overlooked. You're a pretty thorough community so I think I can trust you all would have something for me to try!
Before my factory-reset, everything worked fine with my google apps domain account.
TL;DR: My google apps domain account I normally use won't let me purchase apps on the marketplace anymore, it says the password has changed but all other google services work just fine!
I remember reading something way back when I first got the phone in late November about people having issues with the Market app. I never had an issue so I didn't pay much attention to it but you should be able to find a thread about it from back then.
Something about using a different apk? Or maybe deleting the app and redownloading it?
Sorry I don't have the actual answer but I thought I could at least point you in the right direction until someone else does.
EDIT: This may not be the same issue but one of the solutions that suggests to clear cache may help you. Can't hurt to try it out.

Are you using Google Two-Step login verification?
Did you accidentally leave yourself logged in to another computer, like at work, where somebody else might have gained access to your account?

Great questions:
No I've turned 2-step verification off.... what if I turn it on, and try and get a different password out of it? I'll give it a go.
Account is definitely not compromised. good to go here.
Break Through Achieved...
My Google Wallet account has been suspended, because when I changed my password I used the google domains administrator panel, and not my google account 'change password'. this made google think the administrator changed the password because the account was compromised.
google wallet has a lengthy but acceptable process for regaining access to your account.
I'll go update all the general forums with this if it works... thanks for all your patience.
Also, google.com/wallet shows a good explination of why all other apps work fine, and not purchases...
Google Wallet Account Reinstatement
Your Google Wallet account is currently suspended. The account was suspended as a precautionary measure to protect your payment information because Google detected that an administrator at your organization initiated a password reset for your email address. However, this suspension only affects your access to Google Wallet, and you should still have access to your other Google Apps services such as Gmail, Calendar, and Sites.
If you would like to reinstate Google Wallet on your Google Apps account, please contact us. You will be required to verify your identity to reinstate your Wallet account.
You may also wish to sign up for a new Google Wallet account using a personal e-mail address, rather than your Google Apps account. Creating a new Wallet account using a personal email address will reduce future suspensions of your Google Wallet account for password changes. If you don't have an alternative email address, you can create a new email address with Gmail for free.

I'm having the same problem (using google apps account, admin reset password, no purchasing market apps etc etc)
When I log in to google wallet, I see the message you posted above, with a link to click to contact google. However, this link just redirects endlessly to the same message.
Can you remember how you managed to get in contact with google to have the suspension lifted?
Thanks
Sul
Here's the link to the account reinstatement application form:

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. I just emailed Google wallet help support telling them the problem and by the next day I got a reply saying something like "we can now confirm that your Google wallet is now working and able to make purchases" Sure enough they fixed it and haven't had a problem since.

Where did you even email them? It's like an endless loop on their help center where you can't get to an actual contact form, just has to match one of their issues. I swear while I like a lot of google services, their support leaves very little to be desired.

[A] Disable Google Contacts Sync & Force Store Locally in ICS

Reclaim your Contacts !
Actually turned out simpler to do than i initially thought it would be.
Enables "Keep Locally" ( keep_local ) option for adding new contacts instead of forced google account.
Prevents google from deleting all you contacts when you remove your account
Disables google contact sync
The offending package comes with gapps if you got google that way.
GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk you will find it in /system/app/ (need root file explorer to see it though)
You can make this fix in 3 ways, the first may not need root but i cant test as my phone is rooted.
In Settings>App find it in the list of all installed apps, click it, click disable. (please someone tell me if they can do this without root)
Use a root file explorer such as "Root Browser", navigate to /system/app/ backup the app .apk to your sdcard for example, then delete it.
You can also try clicking the app .apk in "Root Browser" and choose uninstall, but i could get this to work.
Thats it ! , no need to reboot. Enjoy
(to test it worked, just navigate to Settings>Accounts>(your google account) and you will see there is no longer the option to sync contacts)
:highfive:

What would be the thing to replace this with? It's important to have something as convenient as what we're replacing. You can export you contacts to a single .vcf file. This can then be bluetoothed over to your desktop, uploaded to a server or transferred by USB or sdcard but what we really want is something as convenient as Google Contacts which syncronises to a place/server that you control automatically and easily.
Not sure if there's an alternative app out there though for this?
There's Go Contacts, ContactMoney and alternative dialers but I don't think these have alternative sync methods.
I think I'd prefer something from the fDroid/homebrew/commandline way. Perhaps a SyncML solution, or just something that automates the process of exporting contacts, encrypting them with a basic password and uploading to dropbox or an email address.
i was thinking the same thing, like ftp/sftp backup. it could be done pretty easily but i may not be the person to do it , i havent looked around though and suspect there may already be something already that could do this...
btw, yes i love f-droid too and recommend everyone to install its repo browser app and check out whats on offer.

In f-droid you find funambol (syncML), LDAP Sync and aCal (CardDAV).
I don't use any of them (to lazy to set up a server) but with some effort you should be able to make contact-sync work for you.

I purged GoogelContactsSync and GoogleCalendarSync from my device.
For syncing I use SyncMate(free), which I found pretty convenient.
hotmail/corporate sync
This worked fabulously till i decide to use a Hotmail account (with the stock email app), from that moment on the problem reappeared, just instead of trying to store the contacts in gmail, it now tries to store in Hotmail/corporate account!!!!
Has Google hired all the stupid developers that Microsoft fired??? Microsoft is becoming famous for it ability to consider their clients stupid and the attitude: when-know-what-you-want-better-than-you, now Google seems to be going with the same mentality!
Any idea how to stop this on the hotmail account?
p.s. my only workaround was to use the Hotmail app instead of the stock email app, unfortunately the Hotmail app (Microsoft, remember?) thinks i will never need to see any email older than 30 days?!?!?! WTF???

I use MyPhoneExplorer - it syncs my local contacts to my Thunderbird and vice versa. It syncs calendar events too ... so eventually I've got a copy and it's all local. One thing it doesn't do is contacts photos, so I also use SuperBackup to make a copy on my SD card (this way I can get the pictures up quickly).
When contacts are in Thunderbird (I've created there an address book just for syncing the phone) I can re-arrange, edit, etc. and when syncing back the pictures are retained ... Then I do SuperBackup to have a copy of new phone book with pictures.
Regards,...

This little app will do the trick:
play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fjsoft.mylocalaccount
After you install it, go to Accounts and create one "MyLocalAccount". After that, all you have to do is to transfer your contacts from the Google account into the "Local contacts" account just created. You can do this with the built-in Export/Import contacts tool.
f . . k the google, they work for attack to our privacy only :\
Hi, i want to reverse this topic
sync google accounts
It's been a while since I've been through this, but unfortunately I have a similar problem. My problem is "Google account" in accounts and sync. But I can only select google photos when I click on the sync mark. No selection box for contacts. How can I fix that?
The device has clone s3 and ics 4.0.4 on it. The gapps packages available for this release also do not work. It does not synchronize people in any case. I cleaned the data from the applications, I deleted Accounts.db and reinstalled it.
Finally, I found the following lines for Accounts.xml and added it, but still there is no positive situation. What else can I do? Thank you.
Syncable = "true"> <authority id = "3" account = ".." type = "com.google" authority = "com.android.contacts"

How to Sync Android Browser with Chrome?

I have motorola defy running CM10, and I can sync chrome bookmarks using chrome for android. But the app is a bit laggy on defy, so I am using stock android browser and here is a method to sync bookmark between chrome browsers and android browser:
When you go to Android browser it only shows your local bookmarks. Whenever you try to go to settings -> accounts and sync it says that there is a problem in Sync Browser, yet it doesn’t say what exactly the problem is. If you have faced this problem here is the solution you were continuously looking for.
How to Fix Sync Browser Problem in Android?
I identify this problem as a bug when interfacing different Google products. The root cause of problem is Google desktop browser supports encryption for all data types while Android browser supports only for passwords. If you have already encrypted entire data only thing you can do is clear all the data and start it again with only password encryption. Here is how to do it and sync Chrome bookmarks with Android browser.
Go to Google Dashboard confirming your password.
Scroll down to section chrome sync and click on Stop sync and delete data from Google.
This will delete entire synced browser data in Google account and it might take few minutes.
Now open Google chrome, go to Settings.
There you can find sign in section. Click sign in to chrome. Here you will have to generate Application specific password if you have enabled Two Step verification.
Then it will take you to Confirm sync settings window.
Click advance and make sure you have selected encrypt passwords only. If you encrypt all synced data android browser won’t be able to work with them.
Click OK to proceed with syncing.
In your android Smartphone go to Settings -> Apps -> All -> browser and Clear data.
Now go to Settings -> Accounts & sync. You will be able to see Sync browser is working fine now.
Open the browser and go to Bookmarks. Now you can see all the Bookmarks that you have in desktop browser in your Android Smartphone browser as well.

I had this issue before, i did what you said, it worked. Now just few days ago, as i wiped chrome sync/restarted it, the stock browser sync started to fail again.
Problem is i DID NOT select ENCRYPT ALL, only passwords, yet it definitly refuse to sync, no matter how many time i delete/restart sync on chrome, wipe data on android..
I know it's an old post,but... Thank you! This thing bothered me for last week.I didn't do anything,just changed rom from cm10.1 to paranoid and this sh.t happened.

This sync browser solution it's only for Android 4.0 and 4.1 not for gingerbread.
You need to use an special .apk that is men't to do just that. I thinkbit called ChromeBookmarSync.apk or something like that. Just google "AOSP browser without root" and you will fibd it. I can't give you any links becouse im on mobile, but you will find it.
