Nope, you'll have to contact the mothership.

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.
Recently I bought a Nexus 7. I made my account primary, made a dummy account for my kid and my wife added herself as a user.
I was checking since settings and updates on my kids account and found to my surprise he could access my wife Gmail. More digging and I found all her Google services were cross linked to the kids.
Does anyone know why?
Also, how do I stop this?
Thanks.

Maybe I need to clarify my problem.
Primary User - Me. No one can access anything of mine.
Secondary User - Wife
Secondary User - Kid
Kid opens Gmail, sees his own account and can change to my Wife's Gmail account as well.
This shouldn't be possible. Any thoughts?
That's odd. I just tried with some dummy accounts and old gmail accounts and I was unable to replicate your issue. One thing I'll suggest is go into your kid's account and check under Settings>Accounts>Google and if your wife's email shows up there, remove it. That's the only thing I can think of right now.

Thanks for the reply. I did that and it worked. My wife's account is still there as a "user" as it should, but now the Kid can't see her Google stuff. It was so weird.

Glad that worked. One of you must have accidentally added her account when the tablet was logged into your kid's account. :good:
Im receiving my Pixel today . However someone else with a Google account used thier info to order the phone and financed it . I read on Reddit that someone else was having a problem erasing everything and putting his Google acct on it .Read that a factory reset won't solve it either. Is this true ? Thank you

It should not have a google account attached to it at arrival. You will go through the set up process as normal and add your Google account that way.
Awesome thank you

As long as the device hasn't been used with another google account and then sold you'll be fine if it's new in box. If it's been activated/used the original user will need to sign into the device and remove their account info.

That is likely an instance where somebody bought a used phone from another person (not a new one from Google), and the seller didn't remove their account before performing a factory reset. So, that person ran into "factory reset protection" (aka FRP). That is by design, to prevent a thief from using your phone by just factory resetting it.
https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6172890?hl=en
A new device should not have another user's account info in it, so FRP won't come into play.
I just got mine in today. I have mine as US carrier unlocked. So far it only came with Google apps only. Everything else is downloaded via Google Play. I don't know what differences there are to the Verizon version. I can tell you think, there are a ton of amazing features that I have seen so far. The camera is one. I wish I could test out the VR capabilites, but I will use the cardboard for now.

Are the last four digits of the IMEI 4642?
Yesterday I changed my google password.
Today I decided to reset my phone (Nexus 6P - Stock), but when I try to log in it's giving me this error:
The device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google Account that was previously synced on this device.
- I am using the same sign in and same google account.
- I read that after a 72 hour wait, the device will eventually log in with my account. Is this correct?
- Is there any other althernative? I would like to use the device now.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Are you the first owner of the phone? Did you try the new or old password? That's odd that it's not letting you in if you were the only Gmail account ever synced with it.

yes & yes, still no way around it
Hey, so I tried searching on here as well as on Google, but to no avail. I just bought an Axon 7 from Swappa and in trying to sign into my account it says I can't because I've recently changed passwords. I haven't changed the password on this account for at least six months. I tried another Google account that's had the same password for years and it gave me the same error. Any ideas? It's the U.S. variant if that makes any difference. I may just go ahead and go through all the steps to install custom recovery and unlock the bootloader and see if that fixes it, but I thought I'd check here first. Any help is much appreciated.
Edit: Ok I didn't notice before but it's actually giving me asking for a Google account that was previously synced with the phone, so now I'm searching Google for how to get around this. For reference, here's the wording:
This device was reset. To continue, sign in with a Google account that was previously synced on this device.
I'll post here if I can find the solution.
You're SOL, bro. The same thing happened to me when i sold my Nexus 6. The only way around this is to get the previous owner to give you their login credentials. What should have happened is for the previous owner to factory reset, sign in to his/her Google account and then sell it. I know, it's BS, but it is for security reasons.

Ahh, well that sucks. Thanks for the reply though. I'll reach out to the seller and see if they're willing to give me their info.
