Mistyped Email Address When Setting Up Tablet

[Rockman]

In November I got a 7.0 Galaxy Tab 3 from Sprint for 49 dollars. When I set up my emai/google account I mistyped the email address. I wanted it to be Guitarship2@gmail.com as my S4 is Guitarship1@gmail.com. What I typed was Guitsrship2@gmail.com What is the easiest what to fix this. Will I have to delete the account and completely wipe the tablet? I could delete the email account but it would still have my google play account tied to the misspelled email address I typed when I set the tablet up, correct?

Solution???

I'm slightly confused as to why you wouldn't use the same Google account on both devices...

Yeah, you can have both accounts on both devices so you can use purchases made on either account on both phone and tab.

If you don't want to receive mail on the incorrect account, just turn off all syncing options.

Palm, didn't know that I could. I guess when using google play store you can select what device you want to install your apps on. Didn't know that then.. So how can I fix this, reset completely?

Can't you just add your old account to the tablet and remove/ignore the new (wrong) one?

What version of Android are you on? As of 4.1, you can remove the Google Account from your device without need for reformat.

4.2.2 NB8 build..

You can just add the account you meant to use and when you open Play it will ask which account you wana use.
As the others have said, it's best to use the same account on all your devices then you only have to pay for an app, book, movie once and use it on all your devices :thumbup:
