owners email adres

wallie2 — Mon, 17 Nov 2014 20:37:32 GMT

I do have a problem with my email adres as main user on the tablet.

When I first activated the Z2 I have activated it with my Google account.

I am using Gmail for my email.

Later I have added an second email IMAP adres on the standard email app.

Now I have noticed that this second email adres is used for the main user of the tablet.

Is it possible to change the email adres of the main user back to my Google mail adres?

If possible not to use the factory reset.

Hi Wallie2,

Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.

This does seem strange, as the first Gmail account you add to the device does not change to another, adding an account to the Default Email application does not add this email to anything other then the Email app.

What application did you add the Gmail account to first?

Hi Jake,

I don't understand what you mean by "What application did you add the Gmail account to first?"

Did you add the Gmail account to the handset through Settings

Menu > Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google > Etc

Or did you Add the Gmail account to the Gmail Application or did you start Google Play Store and add the Gmail account there?

Yes I did use Google to handset through the settings.

I have added the second mailaccount (default mailapp. on the Z2) 2 days later. And it is this second maillaccount (my work mailaccount) witch is shown as primairy user.

What is also strange. I have addit a picture to my Google account, witch is stil shown together with my work mailaccount at the users setting page.

But do you now if it's possible to change this?

Haven't you created your "user" in Contacts? Maybe it was merged with your private and company address. Thus single photo and different e-mail on the welcome page?

Thanks Sergio,

You were right, the two have merged in my contacts.

Problem solved, thanks thinking with me.
