Hi, I don't know if this is the right spot for this but I have been looking for days and have not found anything. So, pleas, if the information is here and I missed it let me know. Thanks
I have had my Acer A100 for over a year now. I have a lot of stuff on it that I don't want to loose.I bought it from Best buy on black Friday for $189. About a week ago I picked up my tablet and entered the screen lock and it did not work. I did this until it took me to a new screen where I am suppose to log in to my Google account to get back into my tablet. I know both my screen lock and my Google account log in info and none of it is working. To check I even logged into my Google account on my computer and everything worked just fine. I even logged into my Lockout Security app and did the GPS locator and the siren test and it all worked (this is my tablet and it is not stolen).
So my fist issue is I can't even get back to the screen lock to try and enter my screen lock code. I know that I tried five times already but I don't know what else to do because my Google account isn't working.
The only thing that I can think of is when I first setup my Google account on the tablet I was using a password that I have since change about three times. So maybe my tablet wants me to use my Old password. The problem with that is I have a lot of them and I can't be certain which one I used at the time. I have a good idea but I have already tried them too and they are not working.
I just don't know what to do, does anyone know if I am doing something wrong? Or is there a way I can get my tablet back.
Update
I have now talked with both google and acer reps multiple times and after the countless times I have been on hold I have come to the conclusion that I am getting the runaround. So, I gave up on trying to get help fixing this problem from acer or google, so now I will have to do exactly what I was afraid of, a factory rest ...
After trying to do a factory reset I get the android on his back with the ! in a red triangle over it.
Does any one know what I can do from this point? Sorry, I'm sure that it is here in one of the XDA forums, if I don't find it before some one responds can some one give me the link to it? Thanks.
Hi all,
First time post, been enjoying all the advice on how to root and all that jazz.
As the title says it; I'm having problems downloading any theme from the app store. Any theme I choose and hit "Download" on it just brings up a window for 1/2 a second that I believe says "Downloading" but never actually does anything. Another weird thing, the other 2 themes that are kind of defaulted for options that you can download both work. I'm not sure if this is a silly question, however I can't seem to figure it out as no one else seems to have this issue.
Random pieces of information:
1. Yes, my phone is rooted, however this issue was still around before I did so.
2. I have the AT&T variant Galaxy S6.
3. I've checked to see if there's any apparent apps I disabled that may cause it but the only app that seems like it may be related is "Theme Store", and that of course isn't disabled.
Thank you!
Did you disable the Samsung Account? It doesn't work without the Samsung Account apk.

Double checked, it is not disabled.
Thanks for the idea though!
Create a new Samsung account.
I had this exact same problem and was able to fix by creating a new account. My old account was one I had created when the galaxy nexus was released.

This may be a dumb question, but maybe it will avoid me a lot of wasted time, but how do I do that? And Thanks for the help!

Well, I think I figured out how to do it.
I made another account and registered my device on that Samsung account while un-activating it on my old one. However, I can't add the account on my phone, whenever I go to accounts on the settings page and choose Samsung account it does nothing, absolutely nothing. It just goes back a menu where it shows my account without allowing to input any information.

Did you ever figure out how to fix this? I wanted to download a camera mode, but realize nothing would happen when I tried to install. I went back and enabled all of my disabled apps in Titanium Backup. But unfortunately I still cannot add a Samsung account. Same thing happens when I choose Samsung from the account types, nothing happens.
I've got a girl that I work with that is having the exact same issue. She has the 128gb Verizon model and essentially nothing happens when you try to install a theme. Same thing happens with the Samsung account as well, as soon as you go into add the account and press Samsung account, it just bumps you right back out to the accounts screen. I've tried clearing data for Samsung Account, Galaxy Apps, Theme Manager, etc. Not quite sure what the issue is.
You're not alone
I'm having the same issue after attempting to install new camera modes via galaxy apps store.
support advised me to disable Samsung account and clear the cache... now i can't add it back despite it being enabled.. its just an endless loop .. add account - chooses Samsung account - flips back t previous screen

Some please help us figure this out!

Sorry for not posting any updates.
Well, this isn't probably what you want to hear, but I fixed it by doing a Factory Data Rest. I don't know if everyone else's issues are exactly what I was experiencing, but I noticed when I did this reset and had to link a Samsung Account upon first power up for the phone. I'll be honest, I don't remember doing this the first time I got the phone (This is my first Samsung Account so I wasn't aware you had to do this). Then, of course, I checked this issue and it was fixed. I know this isn't really figuring out how to fix the issue, but it worked for me.
Good luck guys!
same thing bro...

I wasted hours on multiple days speaking to every venue availing for support and none were even aware it was possible and all claimed a factory reset. On the flip side verizon offered offered a refurbished replacement, but unless this continues I'd opt for the reset which fixed my account and now it runs like a dream... a super fast octabrain dream
I was facing the same problem.
Reading through this thread I've figured out what was wrong.
I have an old Samsung Account and this account was blocked on Samsung due to inactivity and new T&Cs to agree.
I've accessed the Samsung site (https://account.samsung.com) and reactivated my account.
After that, I became able to download the themes from Themes Store.

Do a factory reset get the theme then root if it still dont work then call samsung.
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
I have a same problem. My phone not rooted. I have package disabler. I enabled all disabled packages, rebooted phone, deleted dalvik, but no succes. I can't create samsung account in phone settings >accounts and theme store do not work. I do not want factory reset, because after needs a lot of time to configure phone.
Hi guys,
Don't ask why, at the time being I tought it was a good idea to disable oem in the developer settings while having a custom rom. That having said, I needed to do a complete reset with odin and flash the stock firmware. Because I still had my google account tied to my phone, they now want that I sign in with that account. After many failed attemps I changed the passwort an finally logged in. But then it said that I should use an account which was previously used with the phone. And I am 100% sure that that is the right one, but google tells me otherwise. I read something about a 24h lock if the password is changed. Is it as simple as waiting a day?
I know it is this email, because when I logged into google in the web, it showed me that the device was recently factory reset. It also showed me my phone nummber and I could see apps which I installed on this phone. I only have on, so that must me it?
I'm really lost here. I already searched for ways to contact google, but I came up with nothing email-related to my problem and I really don't wan't to call them. IIs there a working way to bypass it? I know there were some with earlier security patches.
Also, does anybody know, where I could post this in the google forums? I looked at all of them, but none would fit into my problem. The closest I got wouuld have been google play store
Don't know if it's usefull:
Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930F) running 6.0.1 with firmware downloaded yesterday straight from Samsung
Try that:
Thanks for the help, but the problem resolved itself. After waiting for a day I was able to log in using the account I mentioned. Don't know if it was part of the protection to display that the account was not usable or not, but it hat me severely confused.
Asking for a friend - no really! His wife locked herself out of her S10e. Also forgot her google user name. Her recovery email is a yahoo email but she also set up 2 step verification so she needs to get into her phone to get the recovery email. So she can't factory reset the phone without her google account and she can't recover the google account info because of the 2 step verification on her Yahoo mail.
Verizon has been ZERO help as has Geek Squad and everyone else they have asked. They feel like the phone is now a very expensive paperweight. Does anyone know any thing they can do? She just got this phone and is pretty upset. :crying: Thanks in advance for any help!
Factory reset, or, return the device if possible. Tell them you are cancelling your cell phone service and going to the competitor.

Search on google bypass frp s10e or bypass frp via combination file
Odin ftw

You can put in Odin and install the factory software, but I don't think it will help if there is a FRP lock, because when you go to log into the phone on the factory reset startup, it will ask for your google account to proceed.
So, BTW, Odin is not the solution to FRP lock. If there is a solution, then you should not post it publicly because criminals will read this, even if it does help a couple innocents. Smart criminals will be able to find a way, but the majority of criminals will not be so smart, that's the reason they are thieves, because they are stupid morons with an 80 IQ and unable to get a real job because they are losers lowlife criminal scum. We don't want to give them a way to actually use a stolen phone..

a quick seach : https://frpbypass.net/bypass-frp-google-account-samsung-s10e-via-combination-rom/
My niece's phone is under the supervision of her mother's former boyfriend's Google Family Link account. My niece doesn't know her child's google account password, she was never given to her. Obviously, she can't ask the former boyfriend to liberate the phone, so her mother asked me if there was a way to bypass, or remove the former boyfriend's family link supervision. The phone is a Motorola G Play 2021. I thought of doing a factory reset, but the option to do a reset is disabled when I try to do it in the phone settings. I also thought of doing a factory wipe using the recovery mode options that you can access by pressing power and vol up. But I realized that it will still ask for the child or supervisor's google credentials, so the phone will become unusable. Any ideas are appreciated, and a young girl will be very happy.

You will have to go through him to get the device released. Or get a new phone.
Factory resetting the device will not remove the device from his account. The device can only be removed from his account by him.
