issues with your Google account (used for Playstore, Gmail, etc.)
A Google account serves as foundation for the authentication and authorization to different services, including the services provided by Google, but not limited to (e.g. your Google account can also be used as authentication for the StackExchange sites).
I had my email signed in on the Gmail app on my boyfriend's phone who is now on the other side of the country. I've asked him a couple times to disconnect it but recently checked out Google Play and there's a bunch of new apps connected to my…
Over the past week, whenever I try to open the Play Store/Market app on my phone, the app thinks for a while and then displays this error message:
Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account.
But I am indeed signed into…
I'm trying to download an App on the Play Store, specifically the Vue Cinema app, but this app is only (presumably) available in the UK.
I have just relocated to the UK, so how do I set my location to be the UK?
I have updated my google+ settings to…
It is nothing new that one can use multiple Android devices with a single Google account. Switching on a new device for the first time asks whether one wants to store one's data with Google, which then would always sync "some stuff" to the Google…
If my phone was ever lost or stolen, my only real concern is data and apps associated with my Google account, such as my Gmail, the ability to purchase apps from the Market, and maybe Picasa albums.
Is there a way to block access to these Google…
Surprisingly I haven't found a satisfactory answer for this in a FAQ somewhere or anything.
I have a Motorola Droid (with froyo, if it matters)
I am thinking about getting a Samsung Galaxy Tab.
Pretty simple question:

I won a Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge, signed into it with my Google account, played around with it, wiped it, and sold it.
Now the person can't get past setup because it's saying he must log in with an account previously synced to the phone.
Is there…
I have looked around and found no information on how Android manages to store passwords on the device. Especially Gmail passwords. I'm looking to learn how Android encrypts and stores passwords ? What key does it use and where is this key stored,…
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 with Android upgraded to 5.0.1. There is a GMail account added that I've linked in order to install a specific application (Google Domain Policy) and now I want to remove that account in order to pass the phone to my…
So far I've never purchased anything from the Market but just installed free apps. Now, I'd like to purchase an app and I want to make sure the Market is using the correct Google account, since I have two (one personal @gmail.com and one from a…
When I got my phone, I imported my old contacts by writing a small program that uses the contacts API. That worked great, and all my contacts were stored locally on the phone (sync with Google is turned off). Now I need to add a new contact manually…
I use two Google accounts and add them to . Let's say acc1 and acc2. When I try to buy an app in the Market, it chooses acc1's Checkout account, and I don't see an option to change to acc2. Can I use acc2 to pay this? And I still want acc1 as the…
I have an android tablet. I would like to sign in into the play store in order to get other apps, but I do not want to sign in gmail/contacts/calenders/g+ etc. This device will be shared among multiple people and I want to keep my information…
Why does the Google Authenticator app have "obsolete" in its title on Play Store?
Does it work? Can I still use it for two-factor authentication? Is there a preferred method?
I believe this started after I installed the Google+ app, but there is a constant notification that looks like a warning sign, and it displays this:
