Been trying to get the android app chrome to phone to work on my phone. it says the it does not support google apps accounts, unless they have been transitioned over to the new system. My account has been transitioned. But chrome to phone still says it's an app account.
I tried removing chrome to phone and reinstalling it - no effect.
As i test i decided to do a full factory wipe and then add my account back to the phone and install chrome to phone, and it worked! So i'm wondering if when i added my account previously (before it was transitioned) if something on the phone is still flagging it as an app account? i tried to remove the account so i could add it back in, but it wont let me saying certain apps use the account (would be nice if it said which apps) and instead says i need to a factory wipe.
I really don't wont to do a full wipe of the phone just to install this one app.
Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this without a full wipe?

I'm running Radioactive Froyo on a Samsung Moment. I installed and set up a whole bunch of apps before I realized I was using the wrong Google account. I need to change the primary account. The phone says I can only do this by resetting to factory defaults.
I backed up everything with Titanium, restored to factory defaults, configured with the correct account, and then restored all the apps via Titanium, but it seems like something's messed up -- the Market hangs on "Starting download..."
Is there a way to either change the account associated with the Market so it doesn't hang, or to reset the phone and reinstall those apps but not with the wrong account?
They are all free apps -- my concern is the time investment in downloading and customizing all of them.
Thanks!
I had a friend use my TF and he decided to use his Google account to buy an app. He tried the app then uninstall and got a refund for it. He then removed his account from my TF, but now is where the problem occurs.
His account is no longer on the TF, but my TF still shows up on his Android Market Account. He is able to push apps to the TF anytime he wants. This is kind of annoying! I was wondering if anybody knew how to make it so he can't do that anymore?
Thanks!
I would image doing a factory reset would. Alteast it those on android phone.
woudn't going to settings/applications and clearing the cache from gapps fix the problem?
I have a rooted Desire S running the VoidU S 1.1a rom (which is great by the way) but I have upgraded to a Sensation and I am giving the Desire S to my dad.
I want to get rid of all of my phone numbers that are in the standard phone app (ie when you press the phone button and the list pops up behind the dialler) but I can't seem to do it.
I started with deleting everything from the contacts app, and then cleared the cache via Application Management, then cleared the cache in CWM, still no luck. Then I did a full wipe and re-installed the rom but the numbers are still there. I have read elsewhere on this forum that you need to have the stock recovery in order to do a full factory reset, is that true?
Any ideas? How risky is it to restore the factory recovery? My dad really does not want to go through all of my phone numbers in order to make a call!!
go to
settings-->application-->manage applications-->all-->contacts storage-->clear data
also remove your gmail account to not re-sync..

I don't believe that its possible to remove your google account as this asks you to perform a full factory re-set.

if he untick contacts sync from google account and clear contacts storage?
Thanks guys, in the end I cleared the data in App Mgmt from every app to do with contacts, people, phone etc and that worked. Clearing just one app wasn't enough, I had to do all of them....
Funny thing though, now I have the numbers that I do want in both the dialler app and the people app, when a new text message comes in from someone that is in the contacts/dialler already, it only shows the number and not the name...hmmm...
I have a brand new Samsung Galaxy Note 4 Edge. As soon as I connect the device to my gmail account, I get frequent popups that 'gmail has stopped' I have not even configured email yet...lol.... What I did so far (all without success)
wiped the cache data partition, reset to factory defaults, upgraded the OS to lolipop, updated all aps that come with the phone.
Nothing has helped so far.
If I try to uninstall gmail (after all there are plenty of other email clients out there), it tells me that it will impact the functionality of my phone. I was not planing on using that app anyways. But I want my phone to function properly...
Any other ideas, what I can do?
Have you updated gmail or tried another version of gmail? You could try Google inbox & then try to uninstall gmail.
I have updated gmail with no success.
What happens if I uninstall gmail? the phone tells me I will break functionality...
I use CloudMagic as email tool. gmail is not even set up at all. I would think that process gets started even if it is not used.
I installed the official Android 6.0 factory image on my nexus 5 yesterday, letting it erase my phone (because I was having the issue where my phone only showed 12.55gb of space instead of ~26gb), and I can't get now on tap to work. I live in the US, and so my phone is using the English language. Whenever I tap and hold the home button, the little popup that introduces now on tap pops up at the bottom of the screen, but when I click on the get started button, it just closes the popup, and pretends I clicked the not now button. I've even tried going to the google now settings, and manually enabling now on tap, however, the toggle switch just instantly turns back off after I tap on it. This was one of the main reasons I wanted to upgrade to 6.0. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it? I would like to avoid wiping the phone and re flashing the image if at all possible. (I can do it if all else fails, I'm just too lazy to have to reinstall all my apps, and get the phone all setup how I like it again)
Perhaps try wiping cache and dalvik cache, as well as fully uninstalling and reinstalling the latest version of Google now.
just tried wiping the cache and reinstalling Google now. Didn't do anything. You think it would do anything if I redownloaded the factory image from google (maybe mine has borked bits), and manually flash everything but the user data part?
If you're willing, it's definitely worth a shot.
I checked the md5 on the archive I downloaded from google, and it matched, so I just manually reflashed the cache and system images... and it did nothing. I guess I may have to see if google releases an update or something that fixes it. I'm also in the process of saving up for the nexus 6p, but that'll take a while, which is why I wanted to get it working on my nexus 5 first.
Yeah so it definitely seems like an issue on their end, we just went through all the basic troubleshooting steps.
May have just found out the issue. Google hates Google apps users. Is there a way to use my regular gmail account for google now, and then use my google apps account for everything else? (email, contacts, play store, etc.)
I'm honestly not sure. You can try adding both accounts and playing around with their settings, for example i know that you can choose the account you want to use in the play store but I'm not sure about other apps like Google now, since I've never had to do this personally.
I figured it out. You can select which account you want to use for each app on your phone. So I just told my phone not to sync anything on my gmail account, and then selected it in the google now app. I hate how Google does this. First it was google+, then inbox (which I tried out, and didn't really like), now its google now on tap. So glad I am using the no longer available free version of google apps. I would never purchase google apps business, since Google has no respect for their apps account users. I hope they will eventually fix this issue, and allow now on tap to be used by gapps users.
Glad you figured it out man.
