So I decided to make another account on my Moto G4 and when that account is being used, Android Device manager cannot locate / call the device. Once I switch users back to the main account the phone will start ringing. I also tried logging into the Google account that is connected to the 2nd user and device manager could not communicate with the device. If this cannot be fixed, are there any other apps out there that can do the same thing? Thanks

Problem
I deactivated co-pilot when I changed phone. Worked fine on the new phone for months. Suddenly it refuses and told me it was activated on another device - presumably the old phone.
I gave that phone to a friend so I can access it. Presumably I need to download copilot and deactivate on it.
However
How do I make the old phone enter the market as me? That's from the Google ID? So do I just delete his gmail account and substitute mine? Does GMail hold the ID or is it some different log in? Or do I delete the market app and reinstall? But I thought it was undeleteable?
Quick summary - need to access market on old phone using my google identity to deactivate copilot
To answer my own question if any of you suffer it
The new android market allows multiple accounts, so with luck I can get the old phone, enter my google account, download copilot, enter the key and deactivate it.
Hi,
I have wrote this post to notify everyone that how much secured our mobile phone is:
I googled for the mobile device security apps & I found many security apps, but all these apps are of no use to trace once mobile is done factory reset/flashed.
this is because maximum security apps are either depending on the Gmail account(or other accounts) or installed security apps logined/stored data in the phone to find/trace the lost device
& also these requires DATA & GPS to be enabled or at least sim to be inserted.
So, once mobile is done factory reset by pressing the hard keys combination (maximum theifs does not care of mobile data) all the gmail/facebook....etc accounts which are synced & installed security apps with the data are lost &
which makes the device untracable.
now in this case only hope will be with the IMEI tracker, which can be done by the cyber police only &
Which is the headache task for a device owner to get get help with the cyber police in tracing the mobile.
what could be the solution, after my small analysis i think the solution would be providing the high security from Google/Iphone and OS frameworks level only as mentioned below.
1. Security Level
A Google primary account & Owner phone no which is synced with device should not be erased even after factory reset.
The removing/changing of Google primary account & Owner phone should be PIN protected.
Then whatever changes like SIM change, Google primary account or Owner phone no added/changed, Factory reset done to that device(may be some more scenarios we can add)
should be notified with proper info containing the current inserted SIM info/changed primary account info to the already/previously registered Google primary account & also same notifed as SMS to already/previous registered Owner phone no.
[This activity should be done till delivery report is success.]
still analysing for more security levels
This seems to be a complicated problem so I am going to do my best to explain the issue, and how I got here.
Problem:
When I open the Android Device Manager on a web browser using my main Google account, ADM says that I have "no active devices", however I have both Nexus 6P and a Nexus 7 (2013) both running the latest Marshmallow March security update.
When I open Android Device Manager on either device, the panel that lets your select your device never finishes loading and will constantly show a loading circle.
I also have my work email (a Gmail account) on my phone, and if I sign in to Android Device Manager on my phone or the web I can locate my phone just fine, so it clearly is an issue with my Google account.
What I have tried:
Ensure location is enabled
Ensure all device administrator and Android Device Manager settings are enabled
Device is not set to "hidden" in my Google Play settings
Clear data on Google Play Services
Remove work email from phone
Factory reset
Upgrade to Android N preview
Downgrade back down to latest Marshmallow release
Another odd thing I noticed is that the new Android Beta page for enrolling in the Android N preview does not show my Nexus 6P while using my main email, however my work email does show it. I even called Google support yesterday and troubleshooted for an hour and by then end they said that they were resetting something to do with my location which should take 15-30 minutes, and they would call me back. I never got a call back, so I am avoiding calling them until I seek more help.
Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S6 (SM-G920V) running Android 6.0.1 as of yesterday. Before that it was Android 5.1.1. My device is not rooted.
When it was running 5.1.1 the My Files app was able to connect to Google Drive without any problems. After the update to 6.0.1 I would get a pop-up window directing me to Settings>Applications>Application Manager>Access Cloud where it instructed me to enable Storage and Contacts under the Permissions settings. Unfortunately, there are no permissions available to either select or deselect for this app, so there was nothing I could enable. I did try enabling those same permissions for the Google Drive app (for it they do exist and by default they are not enabled), but this did not help. I also cleared the cache for Access Cloud, but this did not help either.
Randomly, I just tried again, and Viola! - the much desired Google window opened asking me to grant access, which I did. Now it shows that My Files is connected, but there are no files available. Instead, the "Loading" wheel just keeps spinning.
What I wonder is:
1.) What changed to allow My Files to finally connect to Google Drive, and
2.) Why can't it actually load my files?
Disable Google 2-step verification
I believe I have found the answer to my question.
After logging into my Google Drive account and removing Access Cloud by way of the Options drop-down menu next to Access Cloud under Settings>Manage Apps. To be thorough I once again cleared the cache data for Access Cloud on my device by way of Application Manager. I then disabled the 2-step verification for my Google account (not something I recommend, but I was troubleshooting to see) and tried again to connect the My Files app to my Google Drive account. This time it worked and my files were visible within seconds. Unfortunately, turning 2-step verification back on seemed to prevent any files that had not already synced with my device from being available via My Files.
Hopefully this is helpful to anyone else who may find themselves struggling with the same issue.
Perhaps my best recommendation would be to use ES File Explorer Pro. It works brilliantly and allows you to connect multiple storage cloud services rather than only Google Drive.
It's the first time I am fighting with Android User Management.
I set up a new profile. Setup Manager came up, but did not offer to restore apps and settings from Google Drive like it did with initial setup for main user. Unfortunately, the new user profile can not use USB Debugging to restore apps and data via adb. The system says, USB Debugging is only allowed for main user.
Could it really be that Android User Management is that useless that for all profiles except main user all apps need to be manually installed and set up? Or is there any "trick" to manually invoke Google Drive Restore later on?
The phone is Motorola One Vision with Android 10.
