Hello there,
I bought a used Zuk Z1 and I am faced with this message "Sign in with a Google account that was previously synced on this device"
Of course I cannot get the previous owners email, and when I try with my email, it just rejects the input.
I have wiped and reset the phone but to no avail.
Have followed two youtube guides on solving the gmail account issue, but both failed to allow me access to the phone.
Downloaded all the tools I could find, but I cannot control the phone from my PC, as I cannot access the settings in order to allow the USB debugging option. However my PC sees the sd card of the phone
Excluding the fact that the phone seems to react normal, I cannot use it as it remains in the 3rd screen where it asks for the gmail account that has benn previously synced with...
Any ideas are more than welcome.
Thanks

I just got my Galaxy Vibrant S (GT-i9000m). I noticed when I create events on Google Calendar on the web, it gets push down onto my phone. However, when I delete that same event on my phone (via the Calendar app), it does not get push up onto the Google Calendar.
Does any of you guys encountered such problems ?
My phone is running stocked ROM from Bell.
Anyone with such issues ?
Yup
That+.
Not only can I go from phone to Google but I have TONS of stuff in my Google calendars yet my phone shows only from July 12 on. If I go to Google and make an entry for say July 4, it shows up immediately in the phone. Delete it in the phone and nothing happens on the online calendar.
Why is nothing prior to 7/12 showing up?????????
no problem, my stuffs syncs back and forth properly.
make sure in settings > sync account
you have properly configure the gmail account and have the GREEN sync button on, some times it turns off if it failed too many times to connect
I bought from someone and I wanted lg sync my account with the services from the market that is google and gmail. To do this you first need to perform a factory reset, and since then there is a problem that neither can I create a new account or link your account (I'll add that previously normally added to your account-but that there was no default in the grocery store.) All the time that pops up, or unstable connection or to connect to the wi-fi. I have conducted several times to restore and nothing Uploader 2 different firmware and whenever I did hardreset and nothing. Connect by wi-fi and have nothing. Does anyone know if there is a patch, or have some walkthroughs how to solve this problem?
Help!
I set up remote tracking on my GS2 yesterday, it seemed ok until i got this notification saying i had to 'Activate Device Administrator' for email. I figured this was a result of setting up the remote tracking as it listed a lot of similar functions on the screen (wipe phone, locate phone etc). So I clicked activate and ever since my Gmail doesnt sync, mail, contacts or calendar.
Ive tried deactivating it, but it just sends a notification saying i have to activate it. Ive toggled it a few times and tried syncing but no joy. Ive also noticed that a Samsung Account is now listed under 'Accounts and Sync', i think this is related as it accepts the same username and password i entered for the remote stuff. I tried deleting this but it says you can only delete it with a factory reset which id rather avoid if possible (im not convinced it would solve the syncing anyway..?)
Any help or ideas would be much appreciated.

Hi all,
First of all: I've searched for a while on google and all I found is relative to GDR1, not GDR2 (aka Amber).
After the Amber update I can't retrieve my messages from gmail. The account is setup correctly, the contacts and calendars sync with no issues but not the mail. Sometimes it stays "Syncing..." forever, sometimes I get an error message that says it's impossible to sync and sometimes it says it synced but no message is fetched (and I know there's new messages because I see them in webmail).
Does any one have this issues? Is there any way to get back my mail synced on my phone?
Have you tried removing and reconnecting the account? Does it still sync calendar and contacts, or does none of that work?
Hi,
Yes, I tried to remove the account and add it again. Tried to add the google account as a Microsoft Outlook and the error persists. I see on the web that uninstall skype should address this problem but didn't work too.
The contacts and calendars are all syncing well.
Just the e-mail doesn't work.
I'm a bit frustrated with this. The amber takes a few improvements to WP8, but my e-mail is very important to me.
Thank you for your kind reply!
The simplest next step is to try a hard reset - this will almost certainly fix things, but at the cost of all your data on the phone which isn't backed up. Best case, you have to wait a while while your apps re-download and so on, worst case, you discover there were files stored in some app that you really need and now can't access again.
I'll let you know if anything else I can think of seems plausible. One possibility is to reboot the phone between each change (for example, remove the account, reboot, add it again, possibly reboot again). That's probably not going to do it, though. Sorry I can't help more. I sounds like you've already done the research on this (thank you for doing that, by the way).
Thanks, man!
I feared it was necessary to do a hard reset, but facing the situation I believe it worse a try.
Just one more question: I should do it in the settings/aout/restore or by the combinations of keys at start up?
Should I allow phone to restore my settings at the first boot after reset?
Thank you very much again!
Ok, just did the hard reset by pressing the key combination on startup. My phone was back to the factory settings and after the initial set up was done the first thing I did was add my Google account.
Unfortunately (and it's very frustrating) the phone can't fetch my messages again, but I noted that if I perform a sync on another folder (or label) the messages are fetched correctly, what means that this problem is Inbox relative only.
It's a very cool way to start the weekend! :silly:
Update: I set up my google account as a MS Exchange account and it worked! All my e-mail (with instant notifications), contacts and calendars (after some time all my calendars was fetched) is now working. At least until google definitively shutdown the google sync service.

yes.... for Google sync setup google account via Advanced (not google account)... details in my signature
I did a factory reset yet a certain app still recognizes me, so can't be the device ID it sees. My other guess is the IMEI that's saved in the phone, even though it has no sim card anymore, but I don't know how/where to change that. Any other IDs that apps can use to recognize a phone? I'm running Oreo 8.1.

Its happens via Google sync.
Many of us consider setting restoration to be a good thing. But, If you do not not want sync, do a full clean wipe, including format storage ( Note: When formatting storage you must immediately reboot to Recovery and click boxes if present to permanently install Twrp)
After install, you could choose to not backup from cloud and then afterwards, then go to accounts and uncheck whatever, you do not want syncing.
Another option is to flash your Rom and choose to not flash Gapps at all.
You can install apps anonymously using Yalp store via XDA labs.
You can also use Micro G : Here is a page that has links to Micro G and various other excellent apps.: https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-5t/themes/list-favorite-applications-oneplus-5t-t3739134
Actually, not saying that ur wrong because I'm sure it happens, but I found out that it was Facebook. Not really sure how embedded that can get into your phone. Before the factory reset, I had 2 Google accounts on the phone, my main one and an old backup on. I only put my main account on that phone for 1 game so I could play on either phone. But it was never my Google account it uses to save on their cloud, it's Facebook; for logging in you get bonus coin gifts from your friends, but I guess it uses that for game syncing. Because after the reset, I only added my backup Google account to that phone, yet after downloading the game again, it immediately started me off on my game that is normally on this phone, even though I wasn't logged in Facebook yet and it told me to login to get coin gifts. So I logged in with my Facebook that I never use that has the same email as my bbackup Google account, and that's when it restarted a new game for me.
