Moving accounts from one device to another?



In a bit of a bad situation, and it is an oversight on my part but also from a legitimate amnesia issue so be gentle

I am moving from an S4 to a new phone but a lot of accounts (an email, twitter, instagram.. some others) are linked to a dead email (a domain I had and let drop), and I've lost the password (to both the accounts and the emails), and I'll lose them forever if I can't move them to my new one.


Horrible issue but I need to turn my old phone in to AT*T within the week so I don't have time to contact sites for support on this. If I can maintain temporary access through a move to my new phone I'll be content and finally work with contacting these sites to update the information on these.

Does Androids Tap & Go move accounts like that without requiring password re-entry? What do I do?

I do have root on my S4 if Titanium Backup is the way to go.

How to remove Google accounts?



This is a stock, unrooted Fire Phone. The only thing I did was followed the guide to install Google Play services so I can install GMail, Google Play Store, and add Google accounts. No problem.

Now the phone is going to be used by a family member, and I couldn't figure out how to remove the previous Google accounts already added to the phone.

Please tell me I'm missing something obvious.

Major Battery Drain Google Services / Google Accounts / Contacts Sync



I was using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone for 2 years and simply loved it how smooth everything worked and how long the battery lasted, keeping in mind that I am a heavy user.
After the 5.0.1 Update my phones battery performance went down the drain. I replaced the battery, uninstalled apps did everything I could actually with no success. I even bought a new Phone thinking that the phone's to blame.
Now I'm having the same issue with a Galaxy Note 5 and Android M installed:
- the phone gets always warm when using it
- significant battery drain with moderate to light usage (100% in half a day)
- Google Play Services using 50% of the battery capacity

But I finally managed to discover the culprit but don't know how to fix it...
From what I see there are problems with contacts syncing because it is syncing between 3 separate Google accounts (my personal, my business, and my employees accounts). I have them all 3 added to my phone and once I added them my battery on my new phone is constantly dying.


Does anyone have a suggestion how I could fix this problem?


I will also be adding screenshots after I am allowed :). Any suggestions are welcome, please don't say stop syncing contacts.... Because contacts are the heart of my business.
