[Q] How to switch from "A" google account to "B" google account in market

[Q] How to switch from "A" google account to "B" google account in market
hi guys
i want to switch google account for market, because a got chceckout in the second account and i want to buy some things,
is there any way without factory reset?
i dont know maybe some special app?
thanks

I had the exact same problem and couldn't find any way other than factor resetting the phone

Have you tried clearing all Google account data, and clearing the Market data? Might that help?

yes i tried, it erased all my installed apps list from market but no query about login ... always i was logged in with my "old" account

You could try this :
1.Go to "Settings" - > "Applications" - > "Manage applications" -> "Downloaded" - > try to find out "Market" app and open it - > press "Force stop" , "Clear data" , "Clear cache" , "Uninstall updates"
2.Go to "settings" - > "Accounts & Sync" - >press "Add Account" - > click on "Google" - > press "Next" - > press either "Create Account" or "Sign in" (If you have already made your new google account) - > Log with your new account
3.Open Market app , it would automatically install the latest update and I guess it would ask you to log with your google account , then you might be able to log in with your desired one .
If that doesn't work , you could try this :
1. Go to application list - > start an app called "setup" - > On the botton of your screen would appear 7 empty dots , by each pressing of the button "Next" one of the points would become green in color -> Go to the 6th section , which is called "Set up account" -> Press "Other mail accounts " - > Fill in your new google acount -> Then you might be able to log in with it in Android Market

[Q] incompatible with your phone.. marketplace apps

hi all
Since this morning i have noticed that all of a sudden quite a lot of apps are no longer able to be downloaded from the marketplace... it just says for apps like Facebook and Google Maps, "This app is incompatible with your 3 Samsung GT-I9100."
Is this a carrier issue? or an Android Marketplace issue?
It's the same whichever ROM i am using at the moment... it was fine yesterday but since then... a no-go.
I have tried using market enabler... nothing...
Downloading from Laptop (via Marketplace in browser) .... same problem...
Any ideas?

I'm getting this with some apps to.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App

responses from Android Marketplace Helpdesk
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in to me today. I apologize if you're having some download issues with Android Market today. I don't know of any specific issues that may be causing the problems you may be having. Let's do the following troubleshooting steps to fix it:
- Cancel and restart the download(s)
- Reboot your device
- Sign in and out of Google Talk repeatedly to restore connection to our servers:
1. Go to your device’s app launcher, and press the Talk app
2. If you’re already signed into Talk, press Menu, and then touch Sign out
3. Launch Talk again to sign in (if you are unable to sign in, please let me know)
- Clear your Market cache and data (Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All tab > Market > Clear cache and Clear data)
- Ensure there is at least 20MB of free space on your device
- Try your download(s) using both WiFi and network (3G/4G) connections
- Try to initiate your download from the Web (market.android.com) instead of the device
- Confirm that there is strong connectivity on your device, and contact your mobile service provider if you aren't connected
- Uninstall Market updates by visiting:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications> All tab > Market > Uninstall updates
If none of these steps resolve the issue, please let me know, and I will continue to investigate the problem - any other detail you can provide about the issue and how/when it occurs will be extremely helpful.
Best regards,
Jim

I can download some apps fine... But all of a sudden a vast number are suddenly not compatible with my device... I.e. Facebook and google maps. It also states it is incompatible when attempting to download from my desktop.
These apps were compatible yesterday but now they are not.
Nothing has changed on my device
Can you help?
Thanks

Hello again,
Thanks for writing back. I don't see any reason why those apps would now be showing up as incompatible on your Galaxy. Is this a new Galaxy device for you? I see it being registered with your account today for the first time, but no previous entries for a Galaxy S II device on your [email protected] account. The last device on your account I see before the Galaxy is an HTC HD2.
You mentioned you performed a factory data reset before this issue starting occurring. It's possible something didn't go quite right with that. I recommend you perform a factory reset one more time on your device if possible. Please note that this will reset your device to its original state. While your media content (photos, music, etc.) will not be deleted from the SD card, applications and their related data will be uninstalled.
Before the factory reset, make sure that your contacts are synced to your Google account by logging into Gmail from a computer and verifying if your contacts appear there. If your contacts are not synced, then I recommend updating your sync settings at Settings > Accounts and Sync and choosing either AutoSync or touching the account you would like to sync and choosing "Sync Contacts."
Along with syncing contacts, please back up any important application data and/or settings by navigating to Settings > Privacy and selecting "Back up my data'"and "Automatic restore."
To perform a factory reset:
1) Go to Home > Menu > Settings > Privacy (or Phone storage; depends on the device)
2) Press "Factory data reset"
3) Press "Reset phone" (or "Reset tablet")
After you perform the factory reset, make sure you sign into your device with the same primary Google Account you were using before. If this doesn't resolve the issue, please let me know so I can continue to investigate. Have a great day!
Regards,
Jim

I have used the market yesterday fine with my galaxy s 2 have had for a few months.. I will try again though

Hi, did you ever fix this? My phone is in the same state. No Facebook, no Google maps, and most other apps wont install - "This app is incompatible with your 3 Samsung GT-I9100."

I had the same problem, but my problem was due to changed DPI settings in my SGS2.
I had it on 222 and 225 but Market did not work, put back 240 on DPI and it works.
Market doesn't like multi DPI it seems :-(

Thank you - that's exactly what it was. When I set it back to 240 I had 34 market updates available. Probably is why a change of DPI is not practical on the SGS2.
Thank you again

Use old market and everything works fine

Every time I change the DPI using root explorer It gets back to original 230
any idea??
I need to change it coz half of my apps aren't working because of this issue I believe
n I tried the umount SD thing it didn't work for me
My rom is the Resurrection Remix ics Rom v9.1 Ultimate XXLB 4.0.3 Full-Wipe
n I tell ya it's coooooooooooool except for this bug

Isnt the default dpi 240??
Anyways... I didnt use the root explorer method... I just use this...
ROM Toolbox Lite from Google Play
Performance>build.prop Tweaks> LCD Density
Apparently, the above mentioned solution didnt help me either... I would just change back to default dpi... Wait a while... Update my apps... Then change it back... Troublesome... But its worth it i guess... FYI, im on foxhound ROM and i set my dpi at 182...

Just delete all four Google Apps and reinstall them.

Remove Google Play Store No root needed
Edit "Remove Google Play Store Account"
I was able to do this without root. Settings>Apps&Games>Manage All Applications>Google Play Store> then clear cache and clear data.
Account is gone

I just want to log out of a gmail account on Amazon 8 HD Fire.

Goober, download an SQLite editor, there are a ton in the play store. Edit the accounts.db mentioned above. Open the accounts table and delete the record for the account you want to remove. Reboot.
If you had that account selected in any apps, those apps might act weird. If that happens, just clear data for that app. (Ex: clash of clans wouldn't let me select a different account; it was stuck on the deleted account).

I was facing the same issue, too.
There was an old Google account lingering on my Fire (5th gen.) that had been deleted with Google long ago, and which couldn't be removed from the Fire. As it is currently running on FireOS 5.6.0.1 there was no way of deleting the accounts.db as suggested earlier here in the thread due to the lack of root access.
The only thing that helped was deleting the apps
Google Account Manager
Google Services Framework
Google Play Services
Google Play Store
and reinstall them with these package versions:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...unt-manager-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-framework-5-1-1743759-android-apk-download/
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...s-10-2-98-230-146496160-android-apk-download/
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...25-l-all-0-pr-145823605-android-apk-download/
That resolved my problem.
After reinstalling everything the obsolete account is not suggested as Google account anymore.
Cheers,
Sascha

No it doesn't.

Anyone figure out how to do this? I've tried everything. The only thing I could not do was delete /data/system/users/0/accounts.db ... I have root using SuperSU but apps will not see the 'users' folder and I can see it with ADB but it says I dont have perms.

The super-secret users & accounts menu seems to be at:
1. Open Youtube app
2. Click upper-right corner icon for your Google-connected Youtube account.
3. Click switch account
4. Click manage accounts
5. A screen should pop up named "Users & accounts". Click your Google acct.
6. Click the "remove account" button.
Other things I tried:
* One can force logout any device online at myaccount.google.com in your web browser. This did the trick for logging out on my Fire, but I subsequently got endless login shoutboxes saying I need to log back in.
* I tried clearing cache and deleting user data on all user apps and restarting, but this didn't work at all.
I'm on FireOS 6.3.1.4 and confirmed with Youtube version 14.42.54 and 15.06.52

Would you mind adding some Screenshots (possibly edited with 'Mark-Up'), it is pretty hard to follow your directions OR its just different on my Fire Tab 7 (Gen 7). I can sign out via Google Account device Manager from another device, however theres a persistent notification then, saying "Account Action required" which sucks a lot, it sticks in the notification shade for ages!!!

(5) next line is an option called "Add account", then (6) a menu to automatically sync data, and lastly (7) "add users from lock screen."
6. Upon clicking any acccount, I receive a simple screen with (1) the account name, (2) another "account sync" menu item, and (3) a "remove account" button.

How to make google apps work again after 028s update (no root required/no twrp requir

Hi there,
I saw that a lots of people are having google rh-01 error after they did the ota update so i'm going to show you guys how to make it work again. This tutorial can also help for other problems related to google apps crashing for leeco mobile. Also this tutorial fix the problem of not being able to use the 3 home buttons under your screen since sometimes they got glitched because of play service crashes.
First of all you need to go in
System settings>App management > clear the cache for all the google app we going to delete by going in storage and delete all the google apps, such as :
Google play store
Google play service
Google account manager
Google service framework
And any other app that is crashing because of the 028s update, you can reinstall all of them through the play store after it is working again.
After having it done please reboot your phone and go in the Lestore app which is in chineese but dont worry i will try to show u in picture what to do.
1- Start Lestore app and follow everything i have said in the uploaded pictures of this post or if you have trouble you can do what this guy is doing, it's the same :
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8VU270w99bA
[1bis - between the 3th and 4th picture you can add your google account by going in
System setting > Account > press Add account and press google.].
2- Now you should have everything working again, only one last thing remain , be sure that when you go in :
System setting > App management > Google play service > Permissions > Make sure everything is activated.
System setting> App management > Google play store > Permissions > Make sure everything is activated.
I hope this is going to help you if you guys have any further questions let me know.

Can you tell us how to delete or freeze chinese practices in 28S ROM?
What are the Chinese practices we need to be free?

What are the practices you talking about ?
If you are talking about the ads added in phone manager with the new release you can disable them by going in
System settings > Press on " Dual sim & mobile network" > press "data management" > press "connection control" > now disable wifi and mobile data for the phone manager app.
Or simply choose to download an app like adguard or adaway or any other similar app to block ads.

LeStore does not connect.
I was able to connect using a china VPN.

[how to] Fix the google contacts sync issue on CN ROM

This guide is to meant to attempt to save valuable time and frustration from anyone who needs google's contact sync.
Please keep all discussions polite.
So I need google apps on a daily basis and i tried to set up google on the chinese ROM .
And of course there is no Google contacts app so you need to put it in yourself.
I have looked at several guides and threads from XDA and MIUI Forum but they didn't seem to touch the critical steps for getting the contacts to sync with google.
After 2 days of trying...literally.., i figured out how to set the contact sync up reliably, not "reboot it and it will work after the reboot" sorta result.
If the following steps don't work for you, please let me know...I have tried this on 2 MIX 3's and they all worked after first attempt.
1, Enable google play services in Settings app -> system apps -> google play services
2, Download the Google play store from Apk Mirror:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...8-23-all-0-pr-224256688-android-apk-download/
and the google contacts sync adapter:
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl.../google-contacts-sync-9-android-apk-download/
And install them.
3, Open google play store, log in, and install Google contacts from the play store.
4, Give permissions to google contacts and contact sync adapter
*** Above steps are common to the threads i have read, and below are the key points ***
5, Enable on developer options by goto Settings->my phone(or something like that) -> full specs and tap MIUI version 7 times.
6, Go to settings -> additional settings -> developer options , scroll to the very bottom (last item) and disable "MIUI optimizations". Will explain why in later steps.
7, Download an "app permission setting" app such as (but not limited to) this one:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fdd2hdd.AppPermissionInfo
8, Open the permission settings app and find Google contacts and Google contact sync adapter apps and grant all their required permission.
Once you are here you should notice that, the permission GUI opened from this permission app is different. The GUI here is more AOSP style, or vanilla android style, and this is what we need. The permission GUI from MIUI layer doesn't allow you to set this up.
******* End of the key steps************
9, Now if you go to settings->accounts->Google, you should see "contacts" in the sync options and it should work. If not, well, reboot lol, i think it should appear.
If this works for you, a "Thanks" button press is very much appreciated.

Chinese ROM doesn't have it installed so no need to uninstall it. Just run Google installer v3, set contacts permission and it works fine.

If I remember it does. That however may be the dev rom as I only set up the stock room once while I set up the dev rom multiple times. Dev rom install of contacts sync will fail.

Install Google installer v3 APK, let it install and go to contacts permission in settings and tick them all, job done - this has helped. Thank you!

not sure what the problem is, followed this guide to a T and still can't get contacts to show up in my google account to sync it. everything else like Gmail works no problem. i have every permission checked. i've uninstalled and reinstalled. i have the AOSP like sliders to turn things on after going to developer settings.
for some reason instead of contacts i get a people details sync but nothing for contacts will show up. so frustrating.
ok i wiped data and started from scratch and unfortunately same results. ****ing hell this never happened with original mi mix. i guess i'm stuck waiting for the 72 hours to be able to unlock unless anyone has other ideas.
EDIT - ------ FINALLY I got this working. the key is you have to downgrade the calendar sync app to 8.1 - it would not work with 9.0 for me for some reason. once i did this and followed the rest of your instructions it finally worked for me

Worked excellent in Mi 11 Pro! at 2022, I only wonder about what I'm losing by disbling the optimizations, but at the beginning it seems not a big deal... thanks!
