Hi galaxy lovers,

I bought this phone used, and there's already a default gmail account which is used to enter Android Market, when i try to open the market, it asks for a password of previously used account. So that's fine, I've read many posts etc.. the only solution except editing some system files seems to be hard reset the phone. I'm fine with it, but the phone won't reset under any means.. i've tried regulat reset button in privacy settings, tried entering combination digits into call mode.. no luck the phone reboots and everythings remains the same. I've tried combination of buttons when booting the device - up volume + home + power, no any menus appear. Then I've tried stopping applications, clearing cache.. in the end i've installed all applications possible, and still no luck.. So now I'm thinking I should bring it to the authorized service center of samsung.. Maybe you've come across something like this? Thanks. On my former samsung omnia, it took me a minute to reset the phone, just press reset button.. Any ideas? Thanks!
PS my phone came with UK warranty, documents etc.. I don't know the former owner, so can't ask him for gmail password, but anyways it should not be the solution!

Have you tried in accounts and sync
  • stop sync of other gmail
  • add your gmail account and tell it to sync
  • restart the phone
  • try market
If that works try removing the other account.

The 3 button reset is kind of tricky. If you truly don't have the ability (and it may not due to a bad 2nd bootloader) see if this helps

The sync stuff did not help.. And I'm not keen into experimenting with the second option, furthermore I couldn't connect the phone through Kies, some drivers missing.. Anyway, thanks, will try to take it to samsung service.
