Hello everybody,
I am trying to figure out how to create a new GMail address to link all my stuff to, and I am having issues. My current google account is [email protected], and I do not want to use that address anymore as it seems childish to me. The problem is, I have purchased many apps using this google account, and I do not want to pay for all of these apps again. Basically, I just want a new address that I can send and receive emails from without losing apps. I don't really care what the login is. Can anybody help?
Well you can log into your phone with that account, and use the 2nd in gmail because that has the multiple accounts option.
Okay, that is good, I didn't think of that. I'll try it out. Thanks
So.. I used my windows live account for my phone... and for some reason it detected it as if I lived in the USA... So now I can't add my bank card to my account and I can't buy applications.
I created a new account to set my country to Mexico (I already did this in zune.net). The problem now is that I would like to change the main account from my phone so I can buy applications without having to reset my phone.
I have an LG Quantum, so I can access the registry editor using the MFG app.
Anyone knows how to do this?

Thanks a lot man! =)
What is the difference between the email and the user?
Do you know if it is possible to change to use a messenger account for messaging that is different from the main account?
lol ... after actually trying this out... it didn't work and it screwed my accounts xD
it is good I remembered the original value for those fields so maybe I can fix it =)
The fields seem to have an id instead of the email of the account... maybe this would work if I could get the id from my other account :O
Hey, tenhotshot, first, when you do copy/paste, you must provide link to the original post, i.e. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240
Second, when you trying to answer on question what you have no idea what is the question for, please do not answer. I already told in my post - it's about changing email assigned to the primary Live acount, not a whole account...

Check my thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240 , I just added some important info (and of course tested on my handset - I'm able to use Marketplace, Games and Hotmail with new id!
P.S. Probably we need to add this hack to FAQ...

Awesome! I'm guessing I have to add the new account to the accounts list first?
And also... Do I have to do those 3 changes, or just the last one?
So.... it didn't work for me... again xD
Now I can't config contacts nor accounts... and I can't access my email...
It really sucks how microsoft restricts your account to only one country... u__u
I'll probably get a cheap used phone to try this kind of things first hehehe =P
Hmm, it's really strange, because I just did it and everything works fine. What phone do you have and how do you change the registry (registry editor, provisioning)?
Also, as I mentioned before, I changed the LiveID user name i.e. email account name, not a whole account (may be it's a reason?). Sorry, I don't know the difference and how it affects on WP7 settings.
First, I've changed email at the first two registry entries and was able to get new email (my old email associated with Live account, was blocked by damn stupid Verizon - after 10 years - still can't believe). Yesterday I found what Marketplace and game hub stop working, and asking for password with old email (LiveID?). So, I found the third entry and now all Live-services working fine, including Zune. It's 100% true.

I'm using an LG quantum and I edit the registry through the MFG application (it has a registry editor)
I actually wanted to be able to change my main account because for some reason the account I normally use for messenger is identified as being from the USA, so I can't use it to buy. So I created another account and set it to Mexico (my country) , so now I can buy apps from the market place...
The problem is now I have to re add all my friends to my new messenger account... x___x
So if I could change accounts, I could switch my account whenever I needed to buy something and then change it back to be able to send messages.
=)
For now I think I'll just start adding my contacts to the new account.
Hey guys, so this is a really random question, but here it goes.
A few weeks ago I was flashing some Android ROM and long story short (I can't remember the details, that's the problem), I was on a thread here that guided me to a page in Google's Account Security (it was a legit .Google.com URL, I double checked before clicking it) that allowed me to temporarily disable my Google 2-step Authentication for a few mins. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? I have been all over The Googles and cannot find ANY mention of temporarily disabling or pausing the 2-step. But I KNOW I did it! What the heck!! I feel like I'm going crazy (which I cannot completely rule out). Does anyone know what I'm referring to? THANK YOU!!!!
Hey, just in case anyone stops by this thread, I finally found what I was looking for!!

Allow a new application to access your account
As a security precaution, Google may prevent an application from accessing your account if it's the first time we've seen this application sign in to your account, or if it's attempting to sign in from a new location.
If you want to allow an application to access your account:
1. Click the Continue button below
2. Sign in using the application you want to authorize access to your account within the next ten minutes. Google will remember the application after it signs in, and will allow it to access your account in the future as long as it uses the correct password.

Hello!
I borrowed my android tablet to my gf. I need to get her facebook password.
Is it possible?
When she will give it back to me, she will log out of the facebook app of course.
Also im logged in to google with my account, so I can install apps.
I don't know if this is the right place to post, I thought it was sort of hacking ..
THanks
No, and yes, this is hacking...so thread closed...sorry.
Hi guys! I'm new in this forum (at least new on posting). I had an issue with a device and I think maybe you can help me.
My girlfriend's device (Moto G XT1040) was working really laggy and slow after updating to 5.1, so I decided to do a factory reset. Before that, I made a backup of all the photos and contacts on the cloud, so I can recover them later. I've made the reset, started the device fresh, set up the Google Account, but none of the contacts and photos were there, not even the apps she bought on Google Play (in fact, there wasn't any downloaded app related to the account).
The thing is that I can't remember which account was set BEFORE the reset, but considering that my gf has only one G. Account (for real, she doesn't even use Gmail, she uses Outlook), is kind of strange that it isn't the same account she used previously. And as far as I know, there's no way to backup photos on "Photos" app witouth a Google Account, right? So those images went somewhere when I did the backup...
First, is there any way to find which Account was set up in the device before the reset? (I tried looking at the browser history, youtube history, even location log, but nothing comes up). Second, if the account was the same, what happened?
Thanks in advance for your help, and sorry for my rusty english!
Would it be possible you set her phone up on your account? You can check https://security.google.com/settings/security/activity?pli=1 on you google and her account and see whether the device pops up. Searching in the other direction, I would know.
Yep. She had another account that even she didn't knew... Sorry to waste your time guys. And thanks a lot for your help!
