    J5 - unable to reset phone, not access to Google account

    Call Samsung or Google or something, I don't even know.. My friend didn't activate the account himself. Someone at the store probably helped him set it up to be able to use the app store, but he's got no idea what address the phone is synced with. I.e. I don't have access to the account the...

    Hi! 1: No, all kinds of apps are being updated; Insta, Snap, Chrome etc etc. 2: I installed Google Now; didn't help. It looks different, but I still get the message. 3: Ok, so Samsung are treating us like children. Good to know. But hey, in the US they would probably be sued if they didn't...
