So I have a few throwaway Gmail accounts and can't remember which one I used to sign up for Amazon Marketplace on my Android device. From within the app it will only tell me my name, not the email address that was used.
I can back the marketplace up with TB and restore after a full wipe and the credentials are also restored so I was wondering if anyone is aware of any way I can use sqlite to recover the user name or email address.
I can see the locker DB contents but it doesn't seem apparent where the credentials are stored, at least not to me.
Any help out there?
That's a lot of effort. Go to the Amazon.com web-page. Go to 'Sign In'. Then press on 'Forgot my password'. Keep entering your email addresses until it accepts one of them - bingo
Good plan except the computer that had my throw away Gmail addresses cached died and I have no other record of them. If I can't find the email address I'm stuffed. If I can then I will be sweet because I used the same password on all my throw away email accounts.
See my dilemma?

I'd suggest contacting Amazon and explaining your problem to them. With enough of your other personal details they should be able to supply to email address you used simply enough.

I work for Sprint and a customer came in with a unique problem. He is using the stock rom, didn't have any backup whatsoever for his contacts whatsoever. The gmail that was attached to his account was inadvertently removed (gmail store data cleared, google apps etc.) I was wondering if there is any way to figure out what the gmail username was, or if the contacts are saved in cache/cookies anywhere else on the phone or SD card. He lost around 10 years worth of contacts so we are trying to recover those for him. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. He claims that one of the reps from another Sprint store set up his phone for him, but we have no way to confirm whether it was someone else or him who set up the account.
Have him call one of his contacts that he has emailed and ask them for the email address he sent to from. At least that will get you the username.

My house mate has an un-rooted HTC Sensation. Recently when going to Gmail on her PC browser she got some kind of message about her account had been accessed from another country and she needed to verify via call or text.
She verified via text and I think changed her password.
Now, Gmail doesn't notify her of new mails, she has to go in and refresh. Also, trying to open Talk means a black screen appears and within a split second it closes, no errors.
I've tried clearing data on all Google apps. I would remove the account and re-add it, but it says I can't as apps are tied to the account.
Any ideas what has happened and how it can be fixed?
Give the Accounts help page a try.

Thanks, but I can't really select any of those. Logging in is fine.
(How do I correct my spelling error in the thread title! lol )
You might be better off using her PC in that case.
I selected option 2 from the original link (I think someone else is using my account) and it lead to this:-
If you still have access to the email address you use to sign in, visit our password assistance page to reset your password and to prevent anyone else from accessing your account again in the future.
Note that resetting your password requires your account recovery options. If your options aren't suitable to reset your password, click the link to the account recovery form (learn more) which will appear at the bottom of the recovery options page.

and then to this
Account recovery form
If you find yourself locked out of your account and none of your other recovery options work, your last option is to visit our password assistance page, and click the link underneath the recovery options to verify your identity. This will take you to our account recovery form.
Take time to fill out each section of the form to the best of your ability. It was designed to ensure that no one can gain access to your account except you.
For example, if you use Gmail, you can provide the verification code you received when you first created your account. The verification code is a unique set of letters and numbers that identifies you as the creator and owner of your Gmail address. Since Google doesn't collect a lot of information about you when you sign up for an account, we will also ask you questions like when you created your account, what Google services you use, and who you email frequently (if you use Gmail).
If you fill out the recovery form and aren't successful on the first try, you can try again. Make sure to wait until you receive our reply before you submit another report. Important: Try to provide as much information as possible on each attempt. Each submission is evaluated independently.
If you're unable to recover access to your account using the recovery form, you can create a new account. Gmail usernames cannot be recreated, so if you were using Gmail, please pick a new username.

What I'm saying is, none of them apply. She's reset/changed her password now and can use her account no problem. The issue is app/phone related.
I have started a new thread in the mobile section of the Google help forum though, thanks.
Right I'm with you. Confusion rules!
is there a way to change your email address?
i made this gmail a long time ago, i dont like the name i have.. i want to change it as im more grown up now. but ive paid for apps, and have my google+, and contacts, and youtube account all connected to my email address.. so is there a way to transfer it to a new account?
ill give Thanks to anyone who can help
You can't change the name of an existing account. What you can do is create a new account and link them together. Here's a link for more detailed instructions.

is there any way to transfer my paid apps from one email address to another?
Unfortunately, none that I'm aware of, with that accounts system however you can keep buying things from your old address while all emails are conducted through the linked one.
We recently changed email providers and I am trying to update the new server info on my Galaxy Note 2. Not a rooted phone and am using the stock email app with existing email accounts (4 accounts) already setup on the phone. The user names and passwords are not changing, so I am entering only the new incoming and outgoing server info. for each account. After entering the new server info and teh account tries to setup, I get a message "incorrect username or password," which hasn't changed. I think what is happening is the user name in the field is only part of the email addess. The user name field is grayed out so I cannot edit it. All of the other fields can be edited. I contacted Samsung mobile tech support, but they said it is an Android app so they can't do anything. How can I change the user name without deleting the account and adding it again? Thank you.
I think it would have been actually quicker to delete the account & add it as you want it than it was to come & ask this question.
Its very quick to add an account.
Particularly if you let it set up in auto mode.
Why are you so against doing it that way.

I dislike deleting the accounts, because I will have 4 of them to setup again. Yeah, it's quick to setup an account, but there are a lot of setting features to tweak for each one. I would like to avoid having to tweak everything. I used to use K9 email, which does allow access to edit the username, but the Note 2's username field doesn't which is odd. K9 started to give me polling issues which drained the battery really fst so I had to stop using it. Also, K9 doesn't setup exchange accounts, and I need that for my work email. That's why I am using the stock app. Was hoping someone would know a workaround.
Yes I know what you mean with all the tweaking.
So much easier if you have two phones/devices with all your personal setup so you can reference quickly from one to other.
Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?

There is no need to use software or any kind of "hack" to recover the password if your are signed into the device with that account, as you claim you are.
If you're signed into the phone with the same Google account, use the "forgot password" feature, it will send an email to your gmail account, then just open the gmail app on the device and then find the email they send to change the password. If you are signed into the device with that account then you have access to the gmail app and the email for that account so this method should be sufficient.

Hello mate, thanks for you reply.
Yes, I'm logged into my main phone with the account that I'm trying to recover. If I do the "forgot password" feature from the browser or from the phone directly it will ask me the same things like it already did. I can complete all steps apart the mail one since the recovery mail is expired (my bad that I didn't change it).
For that I'm looking for some software/tricky way.
Regards.
