How to get rid of Account Action Required?

[mcr1000]

Hello, I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 phone. Ever since I deleted my other Gmail account on my phone there is a popup in my notification bar and I can't clear it. When i tap on it checks my info and its shown "Please Sign In....A change in your account requires that you sign in again." Then i tap the next button and it says Add My Account and shows the gmail account that I deleted. I really want to get rid of the popup please help me!

The same thing is happening to me on my Motorola Droid Turbo. Until I learn a solution, I'm going to try to recreate the account.

I restored the account. Now the message has gone away. Once this issue has been resolved and I have a way to delete the account from the phone, I'll delete it again.

I have had the same problem for months. I finally figured out how to fix it after trying everything everyone else suggested. I went into my picture gallery and removed the email address that the account action required' was asking for. It worked like a charm. I think the problem was, even though I had deleted the POP account, it was still trying to sync my photos. Who knows why. My notification that wouldn't go away was my email from a job that didn't end well. So every time I looked at my phone, I was reminded of it! Ouch! I hope this fix works for you! Good luck!

Turn your phone completely off, that is OFF, not Restart. After the phone has shut down completely, turn it on again. The system reboots and the pesky Account Action Required sign with an exclamation mark inside a triangle disappears.
Sorry folks, it did not work. The sign returned.

I did what you suggested and when I went to see my gallery with all the emails I have, that email account that was requesting the account action required the sync was already disabled. I guess I have to wait until I get a new phone or if I get a new phone will that same account action required popup appear again?

How did you get the option to delete it from your gallery? I can't figure it

Not exactly deleting it but just unsyncing the account. So you go into your gallery then press the thing next to the home button on the left then tap on settings and you'll see all the accounts you have and you can tap on each one of them and it'll show you a bunch of things to sync. Although when I unsynced everything the account I wanted to delete didn't go away so i'm not sure why.

Hey guys! I just had the same issue but if you go into settings -> accounts (could be under manage accounts) -> and click into the Google icon, it'll show which emails are synced and you could unsynced them from there... it deleted the notification for me

Hope this helps!

I had the same problem I use my personal gmail account to login and sync data on my android device, I also have my professional/corporate/ work account as a secondary email. The problem was with my corporate account as there were admin settings from the company in terms of data privacy hence i got the constant notification "account action required". I tried everything but what worked for me was- i removed the account and added it again, google will ask you a list of permissions- just accept all (you don't have a choice) and now the notification is gone- Happy days. Hope this helps

Hi I had the same problem but worked it out. Go to Settings and choose accounts, then when it go through to your accounts choose google. It will then show you the accounts you have, click on the one you want to delete and then click on the menu button on the bottom left and a window pops up and asks to Sync now or remove account. Choose remove account, it deletes it and the notification disappears, Yeah!!! Hope this helps.
