I just bought a Moto Droid Turbo, I had to test the device so I signed in into play store with a random ID (which I created during the process when we open play store in mobile).
After all the testing I decided to Hard reset the mobile. After resetting, it is asking me to sign in from the ID which was previously synced on this device.
The problem is that I have forgot the email address, though I remember the password.
I tried searching on internet on how to bypass this, couple of videos on youtube tells to hold "world" button on the screen where is ask for email address, but that is not working on my mobile.
Is there any way I can see the email address which I used with this mobile.
Also I didn't link my phone number neither added any alternate ID.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks

Have had the Optimus 4X HD for a while, and are quite satisfied with it.
There is one issue, I haven't managed to solve.
When i create a Exchange account (Activesync) a Phone Administrator is also created, which blocks access to wifi, bluetooth, SD card and a whole list of other things, which more or less makes the phone useless as a business phone, for my part.
(Normaly a few things needs to be added in a Phone Administrator, byt I have newer seen such a list in any of my previous Android phones
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get around this problem?
I've tested against both a Kerio mailserver and a MS Exchange server, but the same Phone Administrator is created. (It's like 3 screens long)
I'm using IMAP and other calender and contacts sync, as a workaround, but it's quite a hassle to not be able to sync everything directly in the Exchange account.
I can and have used ex. Roadsync, but since I have 2 servers i connect to, it's not the best solution.
I've asked LG, but no solution has come up yet.
Pls. help
It's a bug. And a very annoying one at that.

I've got the same problem, but phone is a Canadian version (LG-P880G).
Delete the Exchange account and reset it again , just try to do it and tell us the result ..
After writing the email and password , click on next without any editing
Best regards,
Tried what you said and extra stuff, but it always took me to the add administrator screen.
1. Enter just email and password and keep pressing next
2. Enter email, password, and username
3. Enter all correct information and server
I also tried to call and email LG and their response was shocking! "We don't have that phone on our list of supported phones, we cannot help you"
Ahmmmmm .. ok, you have to install hotmail app from Google play..
Best regards,

It works now even though there is an Administrator. I went to the Wind store and they changed my sim card because it was really old.
I did a hard reset on my phone and added my exchange accounts. The administrators were added but they did not disable anything.

If you look up accounts in your setting I believe you can add another email to your phone.
Not sure if you can change it totally without loosing info.
If you're just worried about the email address, I think you can change the address associated with a given Microsoft account. You can also just stop synching email on the current account and add the other account as a normal email account (as opposed to the phone's primary Microsoft account), if you *really* only care about email.
Otherwise, though, I'm not sure if you have any good options. On WP7, your purchases and such were attached to your Zune Tag / Xbox Live Gamertag (same thing) and you could move those between accounts, then hard-reset the phone and set it up with the "new" account to have access to all your old games. It *probably* works the same for WP8, but I can't promise that.
This kind of DRM bull**** is one of the reasons I don't "buy" apps if I can help it. If you actually owned a copy of the app, you could just re-install it on your own device after changing the primary ID no problem... Same goes for Steam and such, of course.

When i bought Lumia 520,i wanted to sign in with my e-mail address hotmail.com. I received error,tried with a new alias(same error), so i had to make new e-mail address(outlook.com)..Few days ago, i reseted my phone to factory settings, then i tried for curiosity if my first e-mail work and worked .Now i want to move apps/games to old e-mail address hotmail.com (or merge e-mail addresses).but i can't..I know that in wp7 you could change in registry something( i read somewhere )...
I can change gamertag for free(first time),but e-mail address no.I've been talked with support but they didn't helped me. They gived me a free t-shirt for xbox avatar.....I think there is no other option..just buy again apps/games in old e-mail address.

I believe that if you go to live.com and log in, there is an option under accounts to link different addresses to your account, as well as set the primary. As I remember, would be able to use any/all of those to log in. I had this issue before when I set up a new email. Only problem I had after that was my phones address and the primary weren't the same and FB chat through the native messenger app would not work. I reset the primary and no issues after that. Try it and let us know.

I said that you can add other addresses that will link to whatever you use for your Live.com account.
Hello,
I am hoping someone can help me out. I have my work email setup on my phone using their webmail address. If I use the standard address, i am required to have Maas360 installed, which is not an option with me being rooted. Anyways, if I have the email program I use, which is either Nine or Mail Wise, setup for ActiveSync, my business server will catch it and block me. So, I have to setup the email app to scan for new emails every X minutes.
The problem I am running into, is I did not know that I had to have ActiveSync turned off, so now my device is banned when using Nine mail. So, I tried the same with Mail Wise, and got banned again. Now, on my third app, AquaMail, I have realized the problem, and its working great. However, I would prefer to use Nine mail. When trying to go back into Nine and recreate my account, i get an error that my device is blocked. I get the same error on Mail Wise. Both list a different Device ID. NineXXXXXXX and MailWiseXXXXXXXX. Is there a way to change this ID? I tried creating a new ID in Titanium Backup and that didn't change the IDs in the mail apps.
Thanks to anyone who can help!
Got my K20 Pro this evening and was quite pleased with the device. However, when i tried to install my corporate email (using intelligent hub and mdm app), the process errors out when setting gmail (corporate) as a device admin. I see quite a few posts on the Mi forums calling this issue but looks like no fix has been provided yet.
Any help/pointers?
Advance thanks

Could you provide more details please? How did you go about doing this?
I downloaded Google Apps Device Policy from playstore. Once that's downloaded, opened it. I used my company email address and username and sign in and followed the prompts to setup my other apps which are linked to company.
I realize this isnt place for topics such as this but I have to try because googling does not help.
So what happened is that i forgot password for my main gmail acc, and i went to forgot my password thinking it would only send verification code to my phone and thats it, but then it asked for the last password i remember then enter another email address and they sent another code to that email and at last it said we will send you an email to the other email address you wrote in, and they did but they said there is not enough information to recover my main gmail acc. If there is any solution to bypass this and somehow recover my main gmail, please help me, everything (photos, emails, play services....) is on that acc. Thank you in advance
I had such problem before, I was told to wait 3 days, I sent them an email with the case id that they provided me, and mentioned all subscriptions done in that account, shared libraries and with which account these libraries were shared. I sent them last the 4 digits of the credit card which was connected to the account. Eventually they sent me a link to sign in my account and change the password.

Thank you very much, I will wait for this next email from google, because i filled out another recovery form, and if the answer is negative again, I will try adding as much information that they will find useful, I hope it pays out in the end.
