I am a single mom with some limited but good know-how of how an Аndroid phone works. Мy device is most certainly compromised, and I do not really have the budget to hire a cybersecurity expert or to purchase another one thousand dollar phone.... Verizon Wireless will not help. I've also been unable to reach anyone at Google developers. However, I am somehow married to an unknown Linux machine that used to come up as a Google Coral device. I also have active audio mirroring and I.MS logging occurring as well. I have done some digging and found that when I speak into my microphone, this person is doing something called silent listening. Furthermore, I see a lot of Samsung Knox activity. However, when I called Samsung Knox, they do not show any of my devices as enrolled. Furthermore, every single account in my life has had full account. Take Uber or my social media accounts. Write down to my bank accounts. Every single one of my Google accounts seems to be compromised no matter how many times I change my password or two-factor authentication. Yes, I have tried a factory reset. I have not tried to flash my device or game root access. I don't believe I have the necessary experience.

I have a Note 3 N9005, Lollipop installed on it. My phone just restarted in my pocket, by my clothes "pressing" the power and home buttons (why does that restart the phone?). After it restarted, various apps started crashing (contacts storage, settings, internet, android.process.media, Gallery, Key chain) and my installed apps disappeared, so when I want to start them, it says the app is not installed. Tried starting the Play Store, but it instantly closes and does nothing. Neither my other Google apps (calendar, keep). So I tried to log out of my Google account, but I can't find it on my list. Account list is empty, and when I tap add account can't find Google. Here is what I tried: - soft restart - battery remove - clearing Google Play cache - removing Google Play updates - clearing every Google app's cache What's happening to the phone? I don't want a factory reset, but it seems there's no other way.

Can I create a WhatsApp account using my old phone number, which I don't have with me currently? I lost my phone and cannot renew my SIM card due to some difficulties, and many of my contacts have my number, which I don't have access to.

I have two Google accounts on my phone. My personal one and a corporate one. Currently, from any machine logged in either accounts, I can find my device. Although there's nothing nefarious about my whereabouts, I do not wish the admin of my corporate account to know where my phone spends its evening. Is there a way to disable "Find my device" for just one account? I see the "Device Finders" -> "[On/Off]" switch. However that seems to control both accounts at once.

In my Accounts and Backup, under Manage Accounts, I have my relative's email added. - If I remove their Google account from my phone, will they know? - Do they get notified if you look through their email or do anything in their account?

I have a Samsung Galaxy A35 5G phone with Xfinity Mobile. Why does my phone show a 2nd Facebook account in my Settings-Accounts? I have the normal one, and then the 2nd one shows a bunch of numbers only. I delete it and will check back later, and most of the time it's showing again.

I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S2. A mate recently used my mobile Facebook app to log into his account. Now, I always get his email as the default when I go to log in to the Facebook on Android app. Although not a big issue, it is very frustrating. - I have deleted data and cache from App Settings, no go. - I have removed the account from the Account settings, no go. - I have set up another Gmail account for the Play Store and downloaded it through there. Still no change. - When I press down on the email address whilst on the login page, there is no option to remove the address. Please help as this is so frustrating.

Recently the Radio France Android app started to force users to create an account to subscribe to podcasts and to hear podcasts when offline. The user account is not technically necessary. Is there a way around this forced account creation?

I wondering if there's a browser that I can use Google websites in, such that Google will think I am logged in from a plain Linux device (f.e. like a Linux laptop). Or perhaps there is a way to spoof it in Android such that Google will not see me as logged into an Android device. The reason I want this is because whenever I log into a Google **website** in an Android browser (without logging into Google at the Android OS level, i.e. without a Google account in the Android OS), Google adds this device to my Security Settings, and forces me to use push-based 2-step verification as described here (with video): https://security.stackexchange.com/questions/280192/which-android-browser-can-i-use-so-that-google-will-not-force-push-mfa and this Google Issue report: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/389946229 As you can see from those links, the unwanted push-based 2-step verification locks me out from accessing passwords (and any other settings) on all other devices because my Android device will never receive a push notification prompt. (It is literally impossible to receive a prompt if I did not log into a Google account at the Android OS level!) A workaround to this problem would be to prevent Google from knowing that I've logged into a website (which is not the Android OS) on an Android phone. Is there a way to do this? The goal: in My Google account's *Security Settings*, I do not want to see this Android device appear in the devices to which I am signed in when I log into a Google *website* on the device.

My mum is 82 and only has a simple mobile phone (pre-smart phones) in the UK. She uses a laptop. I want to set up a WhatsApp account for her on the lap top, linked to her phone number. This way she can view 1000s of videos of her 2 year old grandson in Australia. Is there a way to do this?

So I just bought a new phone last week and I'm in the process of downloading all my apps and setting it up. I was trying to log into the Slack app when this pop-up appeared with a list of all the emails that I've ever used. Half of them were old email accounts that I haven't used in a while and they ranged from Gmail to Yahoo to Outlook and even my old college email address showed up. Where are these emails stored and how can I remove them from my device? I've wrecked my brain and could not figure this out. Any help would be appreciated!

I am wondering if it is possible to use the *exact same* Samsung Account on multiple Samsung devices? I have a specific Samsung account (Gmail account) I want to use on my Samsung devices (I have 4 Samsung devices), but when I try to add the Gmail address I want to use for my Samsung account on my Samsung Galaxy A52 5G smartphone, it gives me an error that states the Samsung account is being used on another device. I do know I am using the same Samsung account on my Samsung Galaxy Tablet and my Samsung Galaxy A52 5G right now, but it is *not* the account I wanted to use. Why would it give me this error message? Can anyone please help me with this? Is there perhaps an app or something out there that can help me with this? Please explain in a detailed manner so I can understand it, I am not a professional user of mobile devices. The easiest route is perfectly fine with me.

When I go to add a new Google Workspace account (not created by me) in Android, I get a view showing toggles for "Calendar" and "Google Calendar". I use Google Calendar but I can't tell what "Calendar" refers to. I'm on a Pixel 8 and have not installed any other calendar apps. When I search app drawer, Google Play Store installed apps, and Settings > Apps, only Google Calendar shows. Note that I found a similar question here - https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/232202/what-is-the-difference-between-calendar-and-google-calendar-in-account-sync-sett - but it's for an outdated device, has no answer, and the device there ships with its own non-Google Calendar app (which of course a Pixel would not).

There's a popular 3rd-party mail provider and for some time they don't provide OAuth2 auth scheme and resort to regular password. This mail provider was known to authors of Gmail when OAuth2 was still working and for that reason when you try to setup a new email account in the gmail app it redirects to the non-existent OAuth2 web page (even in flight mode). I thought I found a good workaround: at the beginning enter the wrong domain name and later change it to the correct one. It did help me start receiving emails, but when I try to send some it fails. Presumably I get the "non-local sender" error from the SMTP server (GMail app doesn't display the error details). In the composition dialog there's the dropdown at the top where you select the sender account and there the domain is still wrong. I was unable to find where the account could be renamed. In GMail app itself in "Settings" -> (account name) there's the "Account name" text input, but changing the value there has no effect on email composition: in the dropdown the domain name is still wrong and the emails sending still fails. I think GMail is just designed to use the account name from "accounts on device". From GMail app settings you can navigate to "accounts on device" and there there's no UI to rename the account. Only to delete or to disable sync. Since account renaming isn't possible with built-in UI I want to find an app to do that or help with setting the correct account name from the start, but skipping OAuth2.

Long story short, my wife has many accounts (against my advisement), and one of them is sending Find Device push notifications that aren't being pinged by either of us. I advised her to check all her GMail accounts for security notices, but she doesn't wish to do so (no idea why). Just to humor her, I'm thinking of taking a look for her but other than sifting through logcat, is there any other method to enumerate/filter this information, whether programmatically or otherwise? She has a OnePlus 10 [TMO][Stock][A13]

I'm seeking a solution for the distribution of my Android-based devices (tablets) to end-users. I have a tablet with a custom Android 11 OS, and I've developed an application that is publicly available on the Google Play store. In the future, I plan to sell these tablets to my customers. The challenge I'm facing is that I'd like to avoid a situation in which **they** need to create individual Google accounts (some of them might not have their own Google account or might not be technically capable of creating one). I haven't found a feasible solution to this issue yet. I considered using something like 'zero-touch enrollment,' but if I understand it correctly, it's more geared towards IT administration, and I would need to have an authorized manufacturer that supports this feature. Another solution I'm contemplating (not sure if it exists, though) is customizing the OS in a way that it automatically starts my application on startup. However, I'm uncertain if I would need my own CDN for software updates, etc. I'm not sure if such a thing is even possible. Do you have any ideas?

I have two Google accounts on my phone; one for work and the other is my main personal account. I want to disable _all notifications_ from my work account; that includes email _and calendar_ and anything else. I've read [this post](https://android.stackexchange.com/questions/39343/how-do-i-disable-notifications-for-a-second-gmail-account) , by which I can disable _email_ notifications, but all my _calendar notification_ still show up. My question is, is it possible to disable _all notifications_, including email _and calendar_, from my work account on my phone? By the way I'm on Android 14 and Pixel 8.

On my Phone (NordPlus 2, Android 12), I have setup an exchange Account which should sync Calendar and Contacts (not mail!) with a 3rd Party Exchange Server. Some time ago, I changed the password for this Account and recently I discovered that the sync is not working anymore (as expected after the password change). I would like to activate it again, but I can't find an option to do so. Settings -> Users and Accounts -> only shows 3 checkboxes for Mail, Contacts and Calendar and that's it. The Menu there only gives the option to sync now or remove the account. I do not want to delete and recreate the account, as I would probably loose all events and contacts on the phone associated with this account. What can I do to solve this?

Is there a way to use the same LINE account on an **additional** Android cellphone?

Modern Android devices (Android 13) show the username in the About screen: But with no obvious way of changing it. This name is also shown in the "Accounts and Passwords" screen as a heading for the accounts tied to the user but again, with no obvious way of changing the value. How is this field changed?
