Welcome to Android Central! Do you have two-step authentication turned on for your Google account? If so, turn it off temporarily and then try to log in on the phone.

Also, did you recently change your Google password? If so, you may have to wait 72 hours until you can log in on the phone. https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/6172890?hl=en

I did change my password only because u thought that was why it was doing it but that's not it because after I put password in I get an email from google sayin that I logged in on the android but as soon as I put in the password the phone says checking info then goes right bAck to enter gmail screen

By reboot do you mean factory reset? If so attempt another as there's may have been a glitch with your first attempt and a new attempt should capture that issue. Also be sure you are getting data, over WiFi or thru network. Also and I know this is really basic, thank you for understanding I'm trying to cover all bases, but be sure your information is being entered correctly. Address and password. I can't tell you how many times I've left out a character or fat fingered one. If you don't have success reply for more help.

Also, please clarify if you have 2-step authentication turned on or off.

After reading seems I am not the only one experiencing this. Metropcs was no help. I am simply changing devices. I have changed devices many times, and never have I encountered this this overkill, exhausting
Problem troubleshooting my Google account. What if I didn't have a Google account ? THEN WHAT? PLEASE HELP ME BY PASS GOOGLE ACCOUNT FOR THIS PHONE. THANK YOU

No. I have a Google account that I have NOT changed my password on, and it still is not letting me bypass this annoying step into using my phone . ..

[VidJunky]

Well as you almost forgot that you had a Google account please verify that you are entering the information correctly by logging in online from another device. This will do two things, it will verify you do actually remember your account information and that the account is still active. Read Google's TOS, if accounts are inactive long enough they turn them off, even if the owner doesn't unsubscribe. If you find that you're not able to login from another device and resetting the password doesn't work, you should be able to figure out what to do from there.

I do have a Google account, that I CAN get into. I was speaking hypothetically...

So you elaborated on how I "didnt know" if I had a Google or not...which I DO, AND CAN GET IN TO.
NOW THEN, THE PROBLEM STILL IS THIS...I CAN NOT BY PASS THE GOOGLE ACCOUNT PHASE TO GET TO MY PHONE..AND USE MY PHONE OR ANYTHING FOR THAT MATTER. ON THIS DEVICE. ALCATEL FIERCE XL.

[AlphaTango414]

You must log into the Google account associated with the device. This is a security feature. You can not bypass this.

Not sure why you're yelling at people trying to help you but for all I care you just Google the answer. This is an old thread and the OP got what they needed so bug off. Oh and Google will let you have an account using an email from another client, aol, Yahoo... But unfortunately they won't let you use their services without an account, so people without one SIGN-UP FOR ONE.

[1Shourtney]

Someone please help me.. My little cousin put my sim card in backwards, I set up my brand new phone I bought from Wal-Mart and had it working fine with apps that use wifi but it wasn't sending text messages or anything that used my phone service. When I took my battery out and realized my sim card was in backwards I switch it around, put it in properly and then turned my phone on but it factory resest itself and now I can't sign into my google account and I tried using my same password but it didn't work so I changed my password and tried again but that still didn't work, it gave me a notice that said "Please sign in usuing one of the owner's accounts for this device" and now my brand new cell phone is stuck on the set up screen and I just got it yesterday, I've wasted since 9am trying to figure this out and nothing google and youtube has suggested that should work, hasn't worked for my phone and I even tried downloading Sidesync and that pop up window that's supposed to show up giving you the chrome broswer option doesn't show up

[LauraB_97]

I am having a similar issue with my Alcatel one touch A520L, I enter my correct credentials and try to sign it but after a few minutes it just says "Can't access to Google, try again later!" I have a stable Wifi connection but this has been going on for a few hours now. I'd very much appreciate any help.

Welcome to Android Central! It's odd that the phone would do a factory reset after reinserting the SIM card the correct way. But in any case, you'll have to wait 72 hours before you can try logging in again, since you changed your Google password. If you still have problems in 72 hours, then make sure your 2 step authentication is turned off (temporarily) while you log in.

Welcome to Android Central! Where are you entering your credentials? Is this during the Setup Wizard, after powering on the phone for the very first time? Or have you been using the phone for a while, and suddenly it won't recognize your unlock password/PIN?

How to turn off step two authentication temporarily??

I am having a very similar problem wiyh my Alcatel One touch. I had just purchased the phone and had set it up completely. I had watched a youtube video. I thought it would help my experience if I put an SD card in it. Iinserted a used SD card an d the phone gave me a message that the card was damaged. I thought I was formatting the SD card but ended up restting the phone. Upon the phone restarting it the first message was the phone had been reset and to enter the gmail account previously synced to the phone. I enter my gmail account. Then move forward to themessage to enter my password which I do then press the forward key and then there is is a spinning circle in the middle of the screen. Ihave repeated this process many times. I have the correct information but cannot get past this point. The SD card is out. I do not have a second part of protection on my gmail account. Alcatel does not have an answer and says the phone is faulty however I see a few people here with the same problem. I have logged in and out of gmail with other devices and have not changed my password anytime in the recent past. I have been as detailed as i can, looking for a solution..thanks

[B. Diddy]

Welcome to Android Central! Can you clarify -- did you actually turn off 2-step authentication for your Google account temporarily while trying to log back into the phone? And did you get the phone brand new, or was it a used device?

[Mungo77]

B Diddy with all due respect, the turning off two step verify isnt working. Reset doesnt work either. Im stuck almost two months with issue.

Mine was new, luckily I have another phone, I tried admin reset through google acct too, looked like was going to work. It looks like after soo many attempts a disable code is sent to phone, then you get the network unavail issue.

[B. Diddy]

Sorry, I'm not sure if I can help remotely, since the problem you're describing seems to have taken a number of twists and turns.

[HelpPleaseImStuck]

I have an Alcatel one touch. I have factory reset it multiple times and it says, "sign in on an account that has been previously synced on this device." I do not know the previous owner, I got the phone from my dad's friend. I asked him and he had no idea. I just need to bypass the account sign in. Also, I've tried using my account info an it won't work. I've double checked to see if everything was typed correctly and my account is active. I use it everyday. If you can help, I would appreciate it. Thank you
