It means that I logging in with my gmail? Yes I logged on my gmail when I opened the browser. And I sync my mail to my phone so I can opened my mail on my phone cause I need it for my job. May I prevent those apps from downloading with logging out my gmail on my browser? Or I need to unsync my gmail to my phone too? I'll appreciate your help.

Hi all.
I've recently bought my very first smartphone which is running Android 2.1. I'm absolutely loving it so far but I have a couple of questions regarding security.
Soon after setting up Android I configured the Google Mail app to sync with my Google Mail account, which is my primary email address.
I've noticed that whenever I open the Google Mail app it displays thousands of my emails, some of which contain very personal and sensitive information. My concern is that if somebody was to steal my phone and get passed the pretty basic key lock, they will have access to all of my emails over the past few years!
I've been told that it's not possible to password protect it or log out of the account; is that true?
I've tried to remove my Google Mail account from the app but it gives me the message:
This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy.

Surely I don't have to do a factory reset just to remove my Google Mail account?
Any help would be appreciated.

I've done that already but as soon as I reopen the Google Mail app all of my messages reappear.
I've now archived all of my emails in Gmail and removed them from my inbox so they have now stopped showing in the Google Mail app but any new messages will appear.
I just don't understand why it's not possible to remove my account from the application.

I only want to remove it from the Google Mail application on Android so that if my phone was stolen or got into the wrong hands they don't have access to thousands of personal and sensitive emails.
Hello all,
Recently i changed my username from the phone cuz i had an acoount for phone, other for mail,other for google drive and i dont liked the username from phone to keep it. So i created a new account to merge all in one single account ( mail, drive, plystore...etc). after that i seen all my apps what are installed on the phone are not seen by google play store. if i go to my apps in playstore there i see only apss what are installed after chaning the google account on the phone. Actually i dont want to reinstall all my apps from the phone but i want the playstore to see them and update them. There its a way to make the playstore to see my applications after changing the username without reinstalling them? thanks you !!
What are the possible replacements for google services?
Aptoide/Yalp store as replacement for play store?
If it works, I guess installing youtube, maps, etc. from either store should work? Or not?
Or we can find alternative apps thatbwork like youtube, gmaps, etc. anyway
How about retrieving contacts saved in google account? Can i retrieve them using browser logged in my google account? How to import into phone?
Users of Apps/games that require google login like pubg should use alternative logins now. Will it work?
What are the all the requirements for degooglefied phone like nubia x?
Hi,
I'm using one phone like that, until some solution for the google services is found.
It's a bit uncomfortable, but it's working. In anther one post I have uploaded a picture how it looks like.
Here is the answers of your questions:

YouTube app generally working, but closes when cant find the google services. Anyway I'm watching the videos from the browser.
Maps - you can install Chrome and then pin it to the home screen. Works like charm.
You can install Mesanger, WatsApp, Viber, Skype - they work.

With PUBG I had some issues installing it because except the apk has obb, may be I'll try later when I have some time. Fortnite is working like charm. Even with the back screen two additional buttons is like a cheat.
Things which I could not solve until now:
- Outlook cant import o365 mail hosted by GoDaddy.
- It seems that, a lot of applications rely on google services for the push notifications. If the app (let say Viber) is not running, you may not have popup notification on the lock screen. (If anyone knows how to solve that I'll be happy)
So, that's all. At the end you can live with the phone. I'm happy with it.
I hope that answers your question. If you have other questions - let me know

How about updating/syncing contacts? I mean after retrieving them and i added a new contact entry. How do i update/sync that contact into google?
And for photos? Do i have to manually backup to pc or cloud since there's no google photos and no google drive?
Any other concerns i might have forgotten?
Edit:
Link to this thread you mentioned?
I used aptoide - the only google apps that seems to work is Google Chrome Browser and gmaps. youtube did not work through aptoide as didn't all the other google apps i tried. I placed a youtube home page using the chrome broswer on the desktop. Whatsapp apk i downloaded from their official website and installed working fine. When I downloaded whatsapp through aptoide and the chinese market app it won't work and keeps saying date and time is not right even though it is - maybe because its not chinese date and time?
For Contacts i opened my pc with chrome broswer and downloaded the contacts VCARD which you can do and placed in root folder of Nubia X - picked all my contacts up - I'm not sure how to sync though to google accounts as you cant add a google account through the phone unless you root as per other posts.
Pretty silly how they just didn't let you install gapps without root - i buy a lot of chinese phones and its the standard now even if google isnt preinstalled - its been a long time since I've seen a phone that doesn't let you install gapps yourself if you want too even though they dont support it. I'm finding it hard to use the phone and it will probably end up in a drawer for a few months until the international rom is released with google. Its annoying, even switching the phone off the voice assistant starts in Chinese and i want to get rid of this.
I've deleted practically all the bloatware, yet can't get music player to detect music i placed in the music folder.
Should have done my reading before hand but oh well... I got it for less than £495 from geekbuying 128gb version but should have waited out for the international rom version
Most of my good apps I downloaded through the Amazon App Store which is also working so I have 3 markets on my phone at the moment.
Hello,
Model: rk3368
MCU: MTCE_CHS_V3.15_1
I have a problem with accessing contacts and calendar from Google account. Most Google applications work correctly but Google Contacts says that I should log into my Google account (I am already logged in) but when I do the in app procedure it says that I am already logged in.
This problem shows up also in Waze app that has trouble accessing contacts. It seems like the problem is related to Android system because the same Waze version has no trouble with accessing the contacts on regular Android phone.
I'm running stock firmware. Maybe I should upgrade to Malaysk's version? Do you think it would help?
PS: I ran into this problem because I was trying to find an alternative to Google Maps because Google Maps widget with saved route was not working on this firmware (Google Maps was starting but into the main view instead of starting the route from the widget). Maybe someone could test on Malaysk's version that Google Maps widgets work correctly, please?
I'm here to tell you that I have the exact same problem with Google Contacts -- it is unable to display any of the contacts in my Google account (blank screen), and when I click on the profile button, it guides me through logging into my Google account, only to then tell me I am already logged into the same account.
I have a MTCE_HT_V2.84_1 unit here (Eonon GA9153A).

@cannondale0815 Would you be kind enough to check if you also are unable to search for your contacts in Waze? I clicked to allow contacts access in Waze when it asks but when I enter a name it shows nothing. The same when I search for contacts in the share ride view. I'm asking because I'm debugging this issue with Waze support for several months now.
I tried it yesterday but despite me authorizing Waze to access my contacts, nothing shows up. So I suppose it's the same issue you are seeing.

Hello all,
Looking for some help with my contacts app not syncing and only allowing me to save contacts to my device. When I try to sign into my Google account in the app it just tells me I am already signed in even tho it won't show my profile or any contacts. I have tried clearing the app storage for contacts and reinstalling my Google account but that did not work. I also factory reset the phone and for a while the contacts app worked but then it broke again. I am not exactly sure when it broke but my phone is magisk rooted and I suspect maybe it was after I installed the UNSF module and cleared storage from Google play and Google services and rebooted? Have been searching around for a fix but haven't been able to come up with one yet so appreciate any suggestions.

Do you have less than 10% of free storage by any chance?
