[Help] Can't add google account in nexus one

Just received a nexus one. I didn't add google account when nexus one was started for the first time. It can connect internet correctly and access google reader and gmail.
But I can't add google account in nexus one later so can't download software from market. I tried a couple of times, it still failed.
The error message is "this could be a temporary problem o your phone may not be provisioned with data services".
Has anyone seen the similar issues? Any one can help on this? Thanks in advance!

Menu > Settings > Accounts & Sync > add Account.

Thanks! This is exactly what I did. But Adding google account failed.
The error message is "this could be a temporary problem o your phone may not be provisioned with data services".
------------------------------------------------------------
After factory reset, it can work now(adding google account right after reset).
Is this a defect or bug in Anroid 2.1 or Nexus one. The user should be able to add google account later.

I did not add a Google account at first because I did not have myAPN set up. I was able to add it later though. So I do not think it is a problem with the phone or android 2.1. Atleast not all of them.

Yes, a few guys in google help forum reported the same issue. Not sure it's Nexus one's issue or 2.1's.

Try a factory reset, shouldn't be too much of a hassle since you haven't set it up too much, right?

Log in via the mobile network first, not WiFi... that's a typical error message if you try and create an account via WiFi before doing so via the mobile network.
If you've already tried this... sorry, I can't offer anything more.

New Google maps (v7.0.2) contacts search not working

Hi all,
I have a slight issue with the new google maps. Basically I have a gmail account which is linked to my domain (google apps). Now when I go into the "people" app, I can see my contacts have their address in their details. But when I open up the new google maps and search my contacts, it does not show my contacts address in the search bar.
Secondly (i think this is related to the same issue), if i try to use Google now "Navigate Home" command, it does not recognise my home address. It asked me to put in my home address and when I do that and click save I get an error that the address could not be saved.
Any idea what is going on with my phone? I have tried resetting the phone but it didnt help.
Thanks

2 things may be going on here. For it to work your contacts have to be associated with the same account as you're signed into maps with.
Second, I remember reading somewhere that it currently does not work with contacts associated with a business account.

I am logged into my account in the maps too. I guess youre right about the business account. Has google mentioned anywhere that when they will support it?

Google rarely says "when" LOL. Here is where I spied that disclaimer...
https://support.google.com/gmm/answer/3131570?p=maps_android_contacts&hl=en&rd=1
While I don't have a business account, I have seen a number of complaints about this or that not working right with Google app accounts, and it seems that some of these have been going on for years... so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Sad times!
Thanks for the help though!

I can concur that if you have a google apps for business account it's not pulling in your contact details.
Why would they remove this???? it was working before the update.
I've been using Google Maps/Navigation to get to and from clients and now because I have a google apps for business account where all my contact details are saved.
Crazy!!

Growing pains. Google releases a lot that is unfinished. This is just another brick in the wall.
I don't think this was removed in the strictest sense of the word. I believe the old behavior looked in the local contacts data as i was previously syncing over iCloud, and it worked. After the update i had to change my syncing to Google Contacts online to get contacts from a maps based search.
Guessing this new behavior is more efficient as now both the places and contacts search are online.

Google maps seems to be working (i can look up my contacts addresses) in android 4.3 even though on the link you gave me it still says that google apps business accounts wont have this functionality. One thing which is annoying me now is that since I updated my phone to android 4.3, if i say "Navigate home" to google now, it doesnt work at all (before it used to ask me to tell where is home). it just shows me random results relating home (not mine) on google.

I remember reading that in another thread, or was that you?

In 4.3, I am still seeing no lookup of local contacts unless they belong to the same account that maps is logged in to.

Thats strange.. Did you guys do a fresh install? I did that. Maybe thats what made the difference. Every time there is an update i format everything and do a fresh install. Its just a habit

Yup just did a hard reset and re install of all apps and still no go.
If I do a search for one of my contacts they don't come up at all, just businesses or locations with a similar name (now just got to go into all my apps now and put in all the logins and passwords ......doh!!!)

I wasn't able to search for my contacts either. I had my web history turned off. When I turned web history on, they showed up on both the web based version of Google Maps, and the Android version of Google Maps. (I don't understand why this should be required.)
I have not tried this using a google apps account.
Hope that helps.

[Q] Android Device Manager

I left my Nexus 7 in the airport. Once I discovered I left it I changed my Google password.
I have been checking the Android Device Manager daily to see if it registers on the service. It has not. Today when I checked ADM it is not listed as an option to search for anymore.
I went to Google Play and it is still listed there as one of my devices.
Does this mean that someone has logged on to a different google account with it. Is there someway I can still track it?
Thanks for any info.
Jason

More info from Google on ADM. Once someone logs out of a Google account on your device it is not able to be found again within Google's systems. This is complete BS but it's their position.
"Thank you for contacting Google Play Support.
Unfortunately the only way to see the device ID is to look in our systems by using a Google account. If we do not have the Google account unfortunately we cannot see that the device has been used or who has it. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
If there is any further questions or issues that I can help with feel free to respond to this e-mail or contacting us at support.google.com"

I think so.... You can manage your accounts in the Settings... Think that someone has turned off WiFi or (if you have) 3G and then deleted your account and registered with his or completely wiped your N7. Tracking could be difficult if no software is installed like AVG Anit Virus that had a tracking option. But if he has wiped your N7 to factory reset I don't see a chance to get it back....

[Q] Remove Google account after root?

Hello!
Is it possible to remove the Google account after rooting? I'm giving the reader as a gift so I'd like to use my account to set up and provide them with it to log into afterwards.
Failing this (I may just be able to use their account if I really have to) - Is it possible to have *no* account associated with the NST? Or, at the very least, remove automatic sync/notifications - The owner most certainly will not want/need to be alerted to their emails on the reader!
Thank you!

Sorry not something I have tried. I thought BnN account email should be same as google account to play nice so I setup everything for my relatives using their account details (I know what they are as I setup both for them anyway).
I do have this link bookmarked in my Nook dir for future investigation which might interest you as similar topics.

Thanks for the reply- Anybody else know if it's possible to remove the Google account association once the device is set up? Thank you.

Essential Phone lock-out after factory reset

Hello,
For context: My friend bought an essential phone a while back that her and her sister used for a while until supposedly an update released requiring them to sign into their google account. None of their credentials seemed to work and so they gave up on the phone all together and got new devices. My ancient LG G4 needs to be replaced and she offered me the phone if I could figure out how to get around the lock-out. At first I thought it'd be as simple as performing a factory reset or rooting the phone, etc.
Well, it turns out that they had already tried that. The lock-out persists even after a full factory reset was performed. I double-checked all of their credentials with them to make sure none of them worked. Nothing. Since I am locked out and the phone has been reset, installing rooting programs is much more difficult and I really don't know what options I have left. My only hunch at the moment is that there might be some way to use the shell on the fast loader to interface with the phone, but I doubt I'd have many permissions. I've scoured lots of forums and videos looking for new approaches, but many of them assume I have access to the phone and can install apps, etc. Does anyone have advice? Let me know if you need more info. Thank you!

Are you getting a message like "This Device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device"
If so, that is Factory Reset Protection (FRP). If the password on the Google account used on that phone was changed, it makes it even harder to solve.
I don't know if FRP can be bypassed on a PH-1. You could try searching for it.

Yes, that is exactly the message I received. At least now I know what that security measure is called. That might help me on my search. Thanks!

I was able to bypass FRP on a used Essential Phone I got from eBay, which was running PPR1.180610.091 (August 2018 Pie release, the first one ever). Most instructions seem to involve using TalkBack or GBoard input settings to navigate to the online Help & Support activity, then searching for a help page that has a YouTube video to launch Chrome from there and download a replacement Google Account Manager and another app to force browser sign-in for Google accounts.
Hopefully, those hints will be enough to help figure out which instructions you find online are legitimate.

Good to know that can work on Essential Pie, I thought it was a fake video the 1St time I saw someone doing that on some other phone!

I appreciate your advice, but I've seen that one before and it no longer works with my release. The video never loads in, can't actually be clicked on to open. I'd need a more modern approach unfortunately.
