[Q] How do you disable auto login in the browser?

While trying out the HTC One S browser I noticed that it used my stored Google and Facebook account credentials to log on to the relevant (Google/Facebook) pages automatically, without asking. Is there a setting to prevent this from happening, or at least ask me before doing it?
There was such an option in the browser settings of the Sandvold ICS ROM I used on my Desire, but I can't seem to find the option in the same place on the One S.

It's probably under accounts & sync or there may be an option in your browser. Try going to menu > settings > applications > browser > clear data. Then start a new session and see if it prompts again...

This is not very intuitive, but here is how you delete an account:
1.) Go to settings
2.) Scroll down to accounts and look for an account labeled "IMAP" or "POP3" (depending on how you set it up).
3.) Select the IMAP/POP3 account
4.) Select the account you want to delete.
5.) Press the settings menu in the upper right and select "Remove account"
Hope that helps!

thanks chicken, i figured it eventually as well.
its indeed not very intuitive.

Hard to say with that few information.
You can try to clear app data and cache of Play store in Settings > Application manager > All ... (or where ever it's on your device).
Then start Play store app again.
If you are on original/stock firmware, you can also wipe data/do a factory reset. But keep in mind that you have a backup of everything important before wiping.
If that does not help, please contact Google (or your mobile carrier, or the hardware manufacturer) service directly, and ask for help.
Maybe it's an issue with your Google account(s).
For further information, check your device specific forum or ask in the General discussion > Questions and Answers forum.

How do I delete all device contacts only?

Mom gave me her S7. Synced with Google, all my contacts are in. Now I realize there are still 2000 of HER contacts in the DEVICE storage. Some are automatically linked to MY google contacts.
How can I delete all the device contacts? If I set it to view device contacts only, select all, and delete, it says "all contacts will be deleted from linked accounts" ... doesn't this mean it will also delete the linked Google contacts?

That always trips me up too. What I actually do is make a backup of my Google account contacts. Save them safely somewhere on a computer. Then blow away all the phone contacts. If the Google contacts online are messed up I re-import the saved contacts online, then re-sync with phone. My way may be overkill, but it works for me lol. There may be an easier way.

I think I found an easier way.
1. Go to Settings > Applications > Application Manager
2. Tap More > Show System Apps
3. Scroll down to "Contacts Storage" (NOT "Contacts"), tap it
4. Tap "Storage", Tap "Clear Data"
That will delete all contacts, including Google, but then within minutes Google contacts will get restored via Sync.

Export your contacts from contacts.google.com before deleting anything, I deleted my phone contacts and lost them from gmail too (Luckily made a backup first) - but when you select contacts to be deleted it should only delete the ones you have selected, no others
Personally I would have factory reset the phone when your mom gave you it, before adding your own account
So export from gmail
Delete from phone
If all is well that's all you need to do, if it deletes them all you have your backup to import again

To some extent，Whatever data can be easily deleted from the phone, it's easy to recover on the phone, isn't it ?
As you said , how to delete contacts from Android phone , what is more that how do your make sure these deleted data can not be recovered back any more ?

[Completed] Contact Data getting deleted

I purchased a Moto G4 mobile phone from Amazon about 2 months ago. At the time of purchase, I already had Airtel connection. In addition, I also got R Jio connection, which I am using for Whatsup & Browsing.
I have been noticing that on day to day basis, one or the other contact details is getting automatically deleted. I imported all details from Gmail a/c. Later someone suggested that the deletion is happening because of sync with Gmail. Hence, I delinked it. Even then, this problem continues.
Just at the time of requirement, when I want to call a person Or send an SMS Or whatsup, I notice there are no details. It is becoming difficult.
I have written to Google also and no response.
Awaiting an earliest solution.
Thanks,

Hi there and welcome to assist,
Try this...
1. Make a full backup of your contacts. To backup your contacts use any third party app from the PlayStore. I recommend using [SMS Backup & Restore] by Ritesh Sahu.
2. Make sure you have only one main Google account syncing. If you have any other Gmail account go to settings > Accounts > click on the other accounts and remove it for now.
3. Go to settings > backup and reset > uncheck Backup my data (this will erase all of ur backups on Google servers).
4. Restart your phone and restore you contacts using SMS Backup & Restore.
5. Go to settings again > Accounts > Google > here you should see your Gmail account. On top right corner click on the three dots > Sync now. Wait until it finish syncing.
6. You can now re-enable Backup my data. Settings > Backup & Reset > Check Backup my data.
7. Re add your other Gmail accounts.
If this method didn't work try to disable the Google Contacts Sync service with Startup Manager .
You'll have to create an account to post in the main forums if you have any other questions.
