Got a new Fire HD 10 recently, got all the Google APKs installed, play store running, every app except Chrome is accessing my Google account. When I try to log in to Chrome, I get the "Account already exists on this device" error. I've tried clearing cache and data for all Google Apps, uninstalling / reinstalling chrome. Any ideas to get sync working in Chrome?

Try to factory reset, bypass Amazon registration and re-install all Google API Service APK.
NOTE: If your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account. You need to deregister and factory reset again to use Google account.
Do not register your Fire tablet with Amazon account.

Can you install Google Contacts Sync.
You Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account that causing an issues?
Same issue
Having the same issue, got the tablet today and installed google play and am getting the account has been added message.
For users having account already on this device just wait a few hours and keep trying. This is what seems to be happening for most, including myself.

This isn’t working for me. I installed all last night. I left the device on overnight. Alexa auto updated through Google Play Store, but I still get “the account already exists on your device” when trying to log into Chrome.
I have not registered with Amazon on the device and all system updates have been blocked (no OTA). I also debloated with Amazon Toolbox.
Anyone else figure out the why and how for the can’t log into Chrome issue here?
Thx!
I had the problem,the thing that seemed too work for me is sign in to your Google account on the built in Email client,then you can sign in to Chrome.

Try to disable any Amazon's bloatware like Amazon Appstore, Silk Browser, Amazon's Email app, DCP Platform Contracts app from ADB or Fire toolbox from @Datastream33. IMPORTANT: You need to install any web browser from Google Llay like Firefox or Google Chrome before doing this to disable Silk Browser.
Have you tried messing with Chrome's permissions?
I've had issues in the past until I manually went into the settings, and enabled google account + some other permissions for Chrome, and then restarted. Sometimes it just takes time for whatever reason.
For anyone having this issue, try to upgrade your "google play services" and reboot. You may be prompted to the upgrade page when you open "play games" app (other side loaded google apps might also do the trick).
Adding my Gmail account to the built in Email app fixed my problem too. Whoop! Thank you.
F***ing Amazon and Google ought to just figure out that most people use both of their services and allow Play Store and Chrome to reside side by side with Silk and Alexa (which I don't want to use, just like I don't use Microsoft Cortana, or Siri on my iPad).
In case someone else encounters this: it was the permissions for me. Enabled contact permissions for chrome and it worked.
Let's revive this thread... I recently purchased an HD10. I added the Google Play store, downloaded several apps not currently available in the Amazon app store, so it is definitely working.
For some reason chrome just won't run... it won't even give me the option to open it once it installs.
Any ideas what to do?

This is what happens when you get apps from a pirate store. Why did you download it from there in the first place? It already comes installed on your device.
I second Heisenberg's concern about getting apps from a pirate store, and doing system apps is just silly.
You need to fully reset your device and start again. Either use factory reset or flash a factory image via fastboot. Heisenberg has a full guide to all guides. Do that and stop using pirate sites!
Hi guys, I've been playing with Lucky Patcher lately, to be exact, I wanted to remove Google Ads. Unlucky enough, it won't let me connect to Google Play anymore. I tried forcing stop on Google Play Store and wiping cache, factory reset many times but nothing works. Please help!
EDIT: I can't even add any google account because it says: "There was a problem communicating with Google servers. Try again later"
Use AdAway instead. Root necessary.
Hello
My Axon 7 arrived from China today, but it has big issue. I can't log in to google account, it stucks at "checking data" window. Can't use playstore, gmail, install apps... Internet connection is ok, checked everything except rooting. Maybe someone could help here?

Not sure but does the Chinese version even come with google apps? I thought google apps are blocked in China and don't come pre-installed.

yes there are google play, gmail...
OK, this is getting old now... After installing google play services, gmail and play store you need to go to mi-assisstant. Open the autorun section and tick all the above. You should be able to then log into your google account BUT it may take 1/2 hour to an hour before you can use properly. You will be prompted to update google play services when you try to start gmail. Until google recognises and registers your phone this will get an error when trying to update. try it about 30 minutes after you try to do it the 1st time and it should update as well as all the apps you installed. Contacts WILL NOT update...

Google contacts are not shown
Yesterday i noticed that for some reason my Google account got unlinked from my Google Play Apps, so i couldn't use any of the Google related stuff. When i tried to re-link/login i got the message "There was a Problem communicating with the Google Servers - Try again later"
So i started scouring the Internet for fixes, of which there are a few but rarely are they applicable to FireOS and they basicly all boil down to "reboot, wipe cache, delete data, reinstall" and so on. Evantually i ended up doing a Factory reset but that made it only worse since now all my Apps are gone except for the ones from the Amazon Store which got saved in the recovery. I reinstalled the Google Play APKs and got again that same error message so i tried creating a new account which went kinda okay until it came to the final login, again that error, however once i closed the Google settings a pop-up offered me to login via Browser and that worked for whatever reason, so at least i got access to the Google Play Store again, but with no access to my App Library. Even more curious, occasionally Google picks up on my Login attempts and i get e-mails with "security warnings" about a new device. Using other devices i can login to Google just fine btw.
Currently i have 3 Theories as to what happened:
1. It just happened randomly, as it appearantly sometimes happens with Android if the Internet is to be believed.
2. A sneaky Update changed something and now the Google Login Auth on my Fire clashes with whatever updated, i assume that based on what is currently happening with the Amazon Netflix App and Google Play.
3. A few days ago i installed WhatsApp (sadly a necessity since it stopped supporting Windows Phone and there are People i need to communicate with via WA) and since Google Play stopped working "shortly" after i'm inclined to assume a correlation. Ironically WhatsApp doesn't work anymore after the reset, it now got connection problems too.
At this point i've pretty much tried all fixes, applicable to FireOS, i could find short of rooting the Fire and modifying the "hosts" file, though i looked at the File, using a root explorer, and it already contains what the Fix said it should contain, so i'm not sure if that would actually help.
I hope someone here has some more ideas on what i could try to get it working again, though i'm already getting used to the idea of having to Flash it in order to get Google Play working again. (kinda a feeling of excited dread and second-guessing the idea, so i'd prefer methods that aren't quite as invasive right now.)

Your Fire tablet have registered with Amazon account that causing all Google services. Try to deregister it and reset to .
Useful methods to install Google apps using Fire toolbox:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hd8-hd10/development/official-amazon-fire-toolbox-v1-0-t3889604
Can you protect your Google account by adding phone number in Google account settings.
So i did another Factory Reset, i couldn't get around not login into my Amazon account but this time i skipped restoring the Back-up and it worked, I was able to login into my google account, though that might be because i did it via the GPlay Store which kinda looked like a Browser login, rather than via GPlay Services but it is solved regardless, at least for now. I'm going to keep an eye on it for a few days, but i hope the Problem is solved for good.
Hi Guys
I got a Fire HD 10 (9th Gen) running the latest Fire OS 7.3.x Tablet for my daughter homeschooling and I would like to control the access to apps and activity via Google account instead of Amazon's.
I am able to install Google Account Manager, Google Framework Services, Google Play Service and Google Play Store. Now when I launch Google Play Store it asks me to log in, I used my daughter's account and it moves forward to ask for Parent to help set up the device, I then used my login as a parent and at this stage, Google Account ask for some activity monitoring etc and then get busy checking for updates. Within a minute it fails to state 'Something went wrong and I have to restart the whole process again.
Edit: If I just use my (adult) account to log in, everything works fine and I am able to setup the tablet. The problem is I do not want to login with mine but my daughter's.
Is there any fix for this?
exact same problem, a few days ago. With a Fire HD 8. I also need to set it up for a child!
Hey, did either of you by chance find a solution? I just ran into this same problem. Google Play Store lets me sign in with my account, but I'm trying to setup my kid's account on this Fire Tablet. Any advice? Thanks!!
Same. My daughter's Fire 10 HD (Fire OS 7.3.2.2) throws the ever-so-informative "Something went wrong" with her account.
I had this same issue. Once I switched it to signing in with my own Google account, it worked fine. Must be an issue with child Google accounts.
Hello, has anyone found the solution. I don't understand why it hangs. Is there a file to delete, permission to check? Thank you for your answers.
