Short story: I need to know if there is a way to find the transaction id number from the apps that i've purchased in play store. I do have root.
Long Story: I setup my Google login using the main email i was using at that time. That email address happened to be provided to me by my ISP. Last month i switched my ISP to another ISP and lost access to the original email address that i set up with my Google account since that service was cancelled effectively today. Today i also logged into Google and clicked the "change" link next to my primary email address under accounts. I was sent a verification email to the "new" email address that i put in. I followed the instruction in the email which had me click a link verifying my "new" address. I now have no apps nor contacts linked to my Google login when i login. I can no longer use my previous login either. I've contacted GooglePlay help and have started a complaint. They say there is no record of my original email address or my purchases (100's of $$$). For a company to forfeit all my purchases because i changed my email and furthermore never warn me is ridiculous.
This should be a lesson that you should use gmail instead of An isp's email.
Please press Thanks.THANK YOU

yea exactly I've never once used an isp provided email address cause its just a bad idea. Lesson learned the hard way I guess

I understand that it was a bad idea but the option to switch emails associated with the account is still there. Soo even if it wasn't an isp email it still would have done the same thing because it was the action of updating the email not the actuals isps fault.
Salt has been poured into the wounds already. Does anybody have any constructive advise on how to get or if there actually is any transaction record for paid apps stored on my phone?

On my Incredible, I started a gmail account and now I receive gmail on my phone.
Now I want to use gmail on my desktop PC but I don't remember how I started it on my phone i.e. I can't remember my username, password or the email address I used to start gmail.
How how can I recall these facts to add my gmail account to my desktop?
Thanks

Just go to settings>accounts & sync, you'll be able to see your username under gmail, then you can just go to the gmail site and recover your password.

Thank you for the reply. I did what you said and the user name was my gmail address, and they asked for things I couldn't supply, like, who I sent gmail to, when did I open the account, etc.
Apparently I don't really have an account - just an email address. Does that make sense?

If your phone is receiving email you have a GMail account. If you don't recall what information you put in when you originally started the account there's probably not much more that can be done.
Did you find this phone or something?

VERY FUNNY.
I have always had a lot of respect for this forum, but it is open to everybody and everything.
I started up my Gmail and got rebuffed when I tried to buy an apk and it required me to check-out at the Google store. I was told I didn't have a Google account so I wasn't able to buy the apk, but I am still able to send and receive Gmail. Now I want to be able to receive Gmail on my desktop, but I don't have the information to be able to complete that so that's why I asked for help.
Thanks.

You can send and recieve mail because you have a gmail account. You can't buy anything at the store because you don't have a matching account in Google Checkout which you would have had to set up separately.
Based on the information you're providing - which I'll agree with the others comes off as either sketchy or aternatively completely computer clueless that's my best guess.
I rooted a guy that I work with phone and he didn't know his gmail password. He didn't use gmail, just set up the account to use the market and backup contacts.....bit he also was able to figure out when he opened the account because it was the same day he bought the phone.

Thanks for the comments.
I just got off Google's site and I went through the steps to recover my username and recover my password and even though the recovery site accepts my username and my gmail address, it sends me a message that it's database has no reference to a password for either one.
I tried a site that was supposed to be the tech site to help me and after I asked my question, they asked me how much would I be willing to pay for the answer and suggested 37 dollars.
Well, I guess you know, I went no further.
My problem is, why does google recognize my gmail address, but has no reference to a password I would have to have to start the gmail account? ? ?
I know it's my fault I don't remember what I did to create the account, but why is there no record???
Google can't, or won't let me back in without some things I don't recall, but they seem to have no mechanism to let me correct my situation without just cancelling the account and creating a new one.
Thanks again for the dialog.

Kinda smells like fresh troll doesn't it?
So, I know someone that just bought an Epic, used to have a Hero. He didn't know his gmail address when he went in to buy the Epic yesterday, and so the guy at the Sprint store set him up with a new gmail address. Now of course he can't access any of his sync backups or purchased apps. I told him I thought there was a way to figure out the gmail acct attached to the phone, but I wasn't sure how, so I thought I'd ask you guys.
I tried looking in getprop with connectbot, but that only shows the @sprintpcs email address. I can't think of another way off the top of my head that it would work. Apparently the gmail address is no longer listed in a conspicuous location on the phone, such as under settings/accounts and sync/manage accounts. Wouldn't this be able to be discovered on the phone through some method? Maybe the dialer codes, such as ##3282# (though I know that one wouldn't do the job)?

You mean in the gmail app? As far as I'm aware it's not listed in there currently, but I will double-check with him again. He said the Sprint guy looked for the gmail address on the phone and couldn't find it, but I suppose that doesn't really mean much, since Sprint sales tech knowledge tends to be a hit and miss luck of the draw kind of thing. I was hoping there was another way I could find it buried in code or whatnot.
Maybe there's a data file for the Market that I could open in xml and spot the associated gmail address?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
Hmmm.
If I go to Menu -> Settings -> Accounts and sync I see my account listed under "Manage accounts".
I believe there should be something similar on the Hero. I just checked a Droid 2 and I had to look under "Accounts" instead of "Accounts and sync".
If what you are saying is that your friend can't remember the gmail address that he had on his Hero...Try going to the gmail login page on a computer..click the "can't access my account link". The next page it takes you to will have a "Forgot my Username" link.... Have your friend try putting in his primary email account that he may have associated it with when creating the first gmail account. They will then email all gmail usernames associated with that email address.
Put the hero on WiFi and have him email his new address from it.
Recover your gmail account via your phone number.
Send an email from your phone?
Sorry. I forgot getting an email address from your phone was rocket science.

I am using a unique mail address to register at xda-developers - now i am receiving spam-/phishing-mails (Diablo III account phishing e.g.) to this email address. How can that be. I never used this unique mail address anywhere else. Do you have a leak in your database oder do you sell account data?
XDA never sells account data, but could be a database issue.

I also just received one today; I have never received one in the past, so I am rather upset that my xda-developers-only email address has been somehow leaked. I noticed that privacy settings on this account were at their most permissive, so I tightened them all up, though I don't think that allowed people to see the email address I provided here.
I have changed both my email address and password here just in case.
As a side note, I use Tapatalk to read/post on this forum sometimes; could that be a possible vector?
I would highly suggest that the management of this site and board make a serious investigation into the leaking of our email addresses.

We have investigated this and haven't been able to identify any leaks of information, and we do not sell any member data. If this concerns you we recommend changing your XDA Email address as well as updating your password (it is a good idea to do this at a regular interval anyway).
Closing this thread as there is already a lengthy thread regarding this topic and it seems to be the exact same spam email.
Can't live a day without email, and since yesterday I can't create any email account with the Samsung stock email app through Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. It keeps saying "Setup couldn't finish: Unable to connect to server". I have tried YMail, GMail, none works! I guess I am not the only one and it's a MS server problem?

Kindly check and confirm.

Ok, what specific email service are you trying to setup (GMail, YMail, etc.).
What is the name of the server that you are trying to connect to? For example, the ActiveSync server for GMail is m.google.com.
Lets start with that and see where we go from there.

GMail. That's how it worked since the day I got the phone, but now it isn't working. It's obviously a different Note 2 (the old one was having a problem, so service center provided me a new one), but that shouldn't be any reason.
I just type my username, then password, select Manual setup, tap on MS Exchange ActiveSync, then I tap on next and that error pops up! The server address is m.google.com like you said. But I've tried with different address like m.gmail.com, no luck!
Now I had a Nandroid backup from my old Note 2, which I was restoring some minutes back with Nandroid Manager, and when I restored the email and Exchange service the old email data is back, as Exchange ActiveSync.
This is the most weird thing I've seen since a long time!

Tried that mate. No better.
Now could any one of you test it for me? I'm strongly recommending to NOT delete the account you're already having with ActiveSync, just try with another account and see, please? I've GMail and YMail accounts, so can't say about any other account.
Thanks in advance.

Yep read at least 6-7 articles about it. What a stupidity by Google! http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/14/...-sync-exchange-support-for-gmail-calendar-and
Anyway, that was it for me, created a Hotmail account and a Live account as well (love the name, Live, lol) and Exchange ActiveSync created the account easy.
Now I guess there is no way I can have all my messages transferred to the Hotmail account from the Gmail account right, and have the new emails in Hotmail instead of Gmail? I have to manually edit the email id everywhere from Gmail to Hotmail or is there any trick?
Yes, This is good way and I am also doing same since long. I have yahoo account and forwarding Gmail to yahoo always.
I don't think you need to change ID everywhere, just use both ID atleast for now, may be there will be some solution for Gmail comes.

Hello,
It appears that I created my account either with an email address I didn't actually have or that I no longer have access to. I just got my new phone a few days ago and tried to log into my account but couldn't figure out my password and all of the email addresses I could think of didn't work for the password reset. I remembered that I was likely logged into the XDA app on my old phone (where I'm writing this message from) and would like some help in fully recovering my account. Thanks.
