Hey guys
I have an old phone (LG Optimus 2X - p999) that I wanted to give away to a friend.
I had installed the Magicjack app when I was using the phone, and now my friend is having problems loging in.
When my friend attempts to login, he gets this error "Your device is not on this account."
The username and password are entered correctly and he's able to login when he's using his tablet.
I was wondering if anyone came across this issue before?
Info:
Phone: LG P999 with Android 2.3 Gingerbread
Magicjack account: free
Bump
It looks like no one had this problem before, eh?
Am I the only one who had this problem?
Or maybe my post was not clear?
It is possible that the license for the MJ app on that phone has expired. You might try to remove and reinstall to update the license. Or you can go to your MJ account to see if you can reactivate that license. Just a thought.

I don't have the account info and password to login to magickjack, and I don't use it anymore.
I've tried to remove the app and all it's data files and re-installed.
I've also tried flashing a different ROM to my old phone and still no go.
My friend wants to use it, but he's not able to login with his account when using my old phone.
Are there any alternatives to Magicjack on the Google play store that don't require you to buy credits?
Yeah, MJ has to be active for the app to work.
You might take a look at testPlus. I think you can subscribe for a year for $20 or watch some videos for credit.
Hope that helps.

What is this, I've received a text and a call with a code and have no idea if it's for the Google Search thing or not??

On your google account, there's a second layer of security. Anytime you log into your account from a device or computer other than the one recognized by google, you'll have to enter this code which is sent to the phone number listed on your google account. You can disable this by logging into your account and going to security.
I had it on my account, but I've gone through several ROMs the past couple of days and got tired of having to go through the process everytime I flashed a new ROM.
However - this is assuming you are logging into your Google account when you get these texts/calls. If not, then it could be some spammy thing or perhaps someone else is trying to log into your account from another device/computer,

I only use it on my phone, never used it on my PC nor logged in on my PC either so it must be a scam

Could be a scam, sure. But even if you've only used it on your phone, Google will then send the code anytime [you or someone] tries to log in with a device ID not recognized by Google. When you first logged in on your phone, do you remember selecting an option for the second layer of security? Here's a link to info on it if you want to see what it is.
As you said, it may well be junk - but it won't hurt to keep an eye on your account just to be safe.

Hello, I used the Android Device Manager website to try to locate a friends lost phone. He logged into his account on my phone. He found his phone, but now, our accounts are linked or connected somehow. For example, my google (chrome) searches are showing up on his phone.
How can I disconnect them? Thanks in advance.

i wish i could help you, but i looked into my account and i can see the connected devices, but it gives no option that i can find to remove them.
i would bet that either your phone is listed in his account or his in yours. either way im betting this is where it would need to be deleted to disconnect them.
you and he should look into your accounts to see who is causing the issue (whoevers phone is on the others account), then call google and explain the situation to see if they can remove it for you.
googles phone number can be found on their support page. a search for google support should bring it right up.
Hello!
So today in classone of my classmates found out how to download and install any apps on my and my friends Nexus 5 without we knowing it or allowing it.
The only information I gatherd from interrogating him are listed here:
I did "95%" of the work myself by logging in with my google account on my phone
it is done via PC
it has something to do with google play account and connecting to google gmail
EDIT:
it can be done for every phone but he choose this one
it was all on one site, no download
if anyone know how to do it or how to stop someone from doing this please replay ASAP.
Thanks!
To put it simply,
Your classmate likely knows your google account (gmail) password.
By knowing this they can easily log into the play store using your account from a PC and push (install) any app to any device on your account.
Change your password ASAP !

That is no magic trick and certainly no hack or bug.
Your Phone is linked to your Google account, so when you are logged in with your Google account on a PC then you will be able to install Apps from the playstore to any phone that is linked to the same Google account.
Don't let other people play around with your Google account!!!!
And if you're not sure if your classmate saw your password then change it ASAP and to be sure enable 2 step authentication in your Google account.

The only problem is that my phone still appears on the account and when its clicked to install, i get an error on my phone (503)
Ok so recently i have been refunding purchases from a game that i am playing. After a while google decided to block all my purchases from a specific gmail account. The problem now , it seems that google has blocked my device as a whole instead of only blocking my account from making a purchase. How did i come up with that? Simple i logged in my brothers google account in my blocked device and I still cant make a purchase. While that account using his phone could make a purchase. And even with a fresh account on my blocked device still cant make any purchase.
I tried to submit documents to confirm my account but they were firm with the decision to close the payment function of my account.
I have tried changing my device id, imei, mac address, android id, s/n using exposed but none of this seems to work. Any one has an idea how to by pass this ban?

Look inside here:
How to recover your Google Account or Gmail - Google Account Help
If you forgot your password or username, or you can’t get verification codes, follow these steps to recover your Google Account. That way, you can use services like Gmail, Photos, and Google Play.
support.google.com
You should have a phone number and another email account associated with your Google account. You risk completely and permanently losing access otherwise.
These accounts seldom get hacked if you have a very strong password that you change periodically, but it's not 100% hack proof.
Experience has taught me never to use verification Qs, the devil is in the details.
One missed letter in any of the brain picking Q responses can bone you hard.
Lol, do you really want Google to know your mother's maiden name? NO.
I lost a Gmail account over a decade ago due to hackers along with thousands of other Gmail users. It can happen... cover your assets
