Help Google sends new device notification...

[The_Chief]

... every time I reboot my phone!

I can't reboot or power on my phone without Google sending me notifications, for all three Google accounts, asking me if I just signed in with a new device. I have no idea if this is a Google issue or a Note 8 issue.

Anyone else experiencing this, or know a fix?

Clean cache? google play services cache?

i have 3 different gmail accounts on the phone plus they are also reflected on the android smart wear watch. all play nicely.

maybe just a cache issue bro. obviously it just started, so let's retrace our steps...

I have multiple Google accounts set up on my note 8 and, as a matter of course, reboot every few days. Never get this. I know this is of zero value, but it does let you know that its not a normal issue.

I get this on mine too but not every time. I haven't figured out yet what triggers it. I get it on my tablets sometimes too. Annoying but I just swipe it away and move on.

Marctronixx gets the gold star! I went to All Apps and cleared the caches on everything "Google" that I thought would be related to the different accounts. Rebooted and all is well!

 

[marctronixx]

You’re a gold star to us Chief...

Cool to hear all is well....

 

[The_Chief]

How mighty Rob of you...

Whoops - I'm taking back the gold star.

I powered down my Note 8 because I'm having a devil of a time with Bluetooth connectivity. As soon as I powered it up, 'Did you just sign in?' and I tap the notification and it goes to...

An empty web page.

Well...
Cache.
Uhm...
k.

 

[marctronixx]

Sounds like you are having some issues onboard your device.

Clearing cache helped but something on board is tripping that link.

Perhaps clear your history/cache on the browsers?

Do a app cache clear?

Do you have a smart watch connected?

 

[The_Chief]

Hmmm... I have a Huawei watch, I guess I'll try wiping all the caches on everything...

 

[marctronixx]

ahhhhhhh grashoppa!!!!

android wear can cause this glitch too! i have a moto 360 and one time i had a similiar issue with the 360 on my asus zenfone. clearing google play services (After a cursory interwebs search) fixed that nag screen.

 

[The_Chief]

On the phone or the watch or both?

 

[marctronixx]

for me in my instance, I factory reset the watch, clear google services, then cleared phone cache in the bootup menu. worked perfectly.

Quite frankly this sounds like smart watches should be avoided. Well those ones that have too much Google or Baidu, like the Huawei Watch.

 

[kokiangel]

Nah, sounds like a piece of cake. You just had to ask marctronixx what to do...

 

[The_Chief]

I'd rather reset the watch 10 times than reset my phone once... thanks, I'll give that a try
