    Are you saying that you’ve asked us for help over this before? We receive many questions and unless whoever tried to help sees this and remembers your original question thread, we can hardly proceed further. It’s best to register as a member so that you can respond to help offered in your original thread, rather than than keep posting new threads as a guest.

    So far as I can make out: You bought a new phone; set it up successfully; factory reset it for some reason; and now cannot set it up again because your account details are not recognised. Correct in every detail? If not, we need to know.

    No reply after 13h, so presumably correct in every detail. In that case, what you describe makes no sense.

    Oftentimes our advice is repetitive because members keep asking the same questions over and over again, many times within the same thread, without giving clear details.

    It sounds like the problem isn't with Alcatel themselves, but rather that the phone belonged to someone else at some point, and after doing a factory reset, it's asking for that person's Google account information, not yours. So I'm guessing you didn't buy this phone brand new, but rather as a used phone (or possibly a poorly refurbished phone) from a private seller or some reseller. Your beef is with them.

    By the way, this is an independent community forum, without any direct affiliation with Alcatel, Google or any other company. So don't tell us to stop making phones, because we never did.
