Gonna pick a AFTV up for my Dad and was wondering:
Can you log out of the Amazon account that its purchased under and sign in with a different one?
or
Is there 'Profiles' on it?
Might seem a daft question but couldn't seem to see on the videos and screenshots I've seen.
You can deregister the device on the Amazon web site. Your dad can then use it with his account.

ok. so here's the deal.
my kf1 was stolen.
i told Amazon, and they unregistered it.
however, i dont think that will do any good because it was running twa's cm10.1
is there any way i can trace it?
i didn't dissociate it with google because i dont have an account with money linked, and maybe i can catch the person this way.
any tips?
Quickly remove your credit card info from you Google via the Play Website, or Google account settings. If you have any accounts like eBay, Amazon, Chase, BoA, etc. Change all your passwords. Change your Google password. Enable 2-Step for passwords. Hope for the best. Unless you have a "Find my Droid" app on there.... your out of luck. Look into buying that new Hisense Pro from WallyMart.

How was it stolen..........just curious?
Did you have a passcode on your kindle?
OK,I bought my device in mid November for Xmas gift. Since the beginning of the year, I decided to use one of the perks. Low and behold I am charged. I try to contact the company involved and they say that they only provide a limited trial. But Samsung states the trial period is much longer. I contacted Samsung abouot my issue, and wonder what I was not sent during my registration. I own many Samsung devices and have had my account since late 2008. So I know my account registered the device and should have had some details in regards to perks. The only thing I got was a one time webpage with a Google play code for my credits, everything else was just unlinked information for all new subscribers to the perks.
Has anyone dealt with perks and have any ideas to resolve such issues? I don't want to be charged for something I am trying out.
Possible fix
Well, I finally an answer back from the second point of contact... they stated that they normally don't support tablet but offer support through phone service. Any way now I must call Samsung support to run through the issue one more time, so they can figure out what to do.
Some head way
OK, got done with my call to Samsung.
I learned not to register the device through your Samsung account devices page. I have many Samsung items through the years, as I had learned it is easy to go and register that way.
The proper link is http://www.samsung.com/us/register-for-your-galaxy-perks/#note-8 for the Note 8.0
Also for some odd reason they want a google email account, which I never had until after registering. Take note that if you have an existing Samsung account, the email address needed for registration completion is your gmail email address.
I wish web developers had a brain, this is not the first time I have seen such a broken way cross linking account information, just annoys the krappa out of me.
Now to fix the issue with Samung Link unable to fetch account authentication information with my Samsung account. Yes, I deleted and recreated the Samsung account many many times. Just another annoying issue. (
While waiting...
OK, while I had some time, I fixed my Samsung link issue... had to make it a system app. Samsung loaded PS Touch, and Samsung Link need to be kept as system apps. Though most of all the system apps can be removed and side loaded for Google Play to manage install/removal processes. I prefer it that way for reloads and memory management outside of using Titanium Backup. The less utilities to perform tasks the better. Somebody should do a right up on using built in function to perform most all needs, instead of finding more apps to do what you can do on your own and without rooting.
I doubt I'll ever fix the Video Hub issue... seems that it is getting info from Samsung servers about the device. If the device does not match the white list at the authentication server, your a no go at getting content. At one time the Note 8.0 was in the white list, now it looks like it is region select and will check firmware along with device.
I have an app to fake the ID and location, but Video Hub is not a concern just an odd app that has some interesting features that go beyond google play hardware requirements.
Woopie! )
Samsung got me my perks rewards resent to my email address. The Google account that I had to make since I did not use goodle before owning the Note 8.0.
Now I am going to redo my account on which I paid a months subscription, so I can apply my perks.
Hi I'm new to these forums and I must say I love them! There's so much useful information!
So I thought that when buying this tablet I would get a bunch of free stuff. (50 gigs of dropbox, free linkedin pro for 3 months, etc...) I can't find any information about this anymore, I'm I missing something? Does anyone have any clue how to do this? I have already registered my device with Samsung btw.
Thanks in advance,

You should receive an email detailing the offers, sent to the address from which you registered your Samsung account. BTW, some of the offers, like the NYT access, begin from the time you register the account, NOT from the time you first access the offer. So, the first time I tried to access the Times premium content, it told me something like my premium access trial had expired, and asked whether I'd like to continue with a full-price subscription?
HA! Not likely...

Yes that's what I thought. I just double checked and I did receive an email after registering, but didn't see any links to get free stuff. In comparison I still had an email from when I registered my S3 with a link to get free stuff. I'm confused about what I else I can/should try... :s

Have you registered your device via the Galaxy Perks page?
Log in to your Samsung Account via a web browser (you can use the above link). Click on your name in the upper right, and select "My Profile". Verify that your device shows up. Sometimes just logging in to your Samsung Account via a web browser seems to trigger it, so it doesn't hurt to try even if you know you already registered your device.
Have you added the Samsung Account to the Note 2014 yet? If not, launch Samsung Apps and sign in with your Samsung Account when prompted. You might need to press the menu button and then select "Sign In" if it doesn't automatically ask you.
If you have, remove the Samsung Account, launch Samsung Apps and sign in again.
If you've done all that, you SHOULD get the "<NAME>, your gift for registering..." email at the Gmail account you specified when you registered.

Hmm, one way to check is to create another dummy Amazon account, try to login and see if that will work. If that works, then something is wrong with your actual Amazon account. Call them up. You can switch back to your original account by deregister from the dummy account and put in the actual account once you confirm that it is working.
If it still won't work with the dummy Amazon account, then you can try to call Amazon up. Tell them that you got this as a gift from a friend and politely asks if they could replace it. You don't have to provide proof of purchase if it is a gift and you ask nice enough. Try it.
After successfully using the latest Toolbox on my 10+, I get prompted with a full screen Amazon sign in page. Only way to exit is to reboot my tablet. Should I just go ahead and sign in to Amazon? Is this safe?
@stcardinal,
I'm assuming your are talking about the Fire Toolbox from Datastream. If you are, I would move your question to that thread. That way you can get an answer a little quicker.
I mean in general. Don't think it's related but I get an uncloseable prompt forcing me to sign into my Amazon account. Was wondering if anyone else has seen this and whether or not they signed in
I believe I am seeing the same message as you are and I thought I couldn't get out of it without rebooting as well. But I found if you click on any of the links on that page (like the "Forgot password?" or "View Amazon's privacy notice here.") when you return there will be a Not Now button which allows you to ignore that message. I had already created a fake amazon account and was about to log in when I found that this is a work around on my devices.
