Not certain how it happened. When I go to my settings, it now says Samsung account with a blank, no photo, profile. How do I change it back to my Google acct. I'm peeved, it's my phone, my money paid for it. I give nobody except myself authority to make (egotistical) changes to my account.
Thank you

No, in "settings section", it was always my Google Gmail photo. Now it is an empty circle for a profile and says Samsung not Google

I've been at this all day because it messed up my settings including tap to pay. I do NOT want to use Samsung wallet if that's the solution because nobody accepts Samsung wallet and if they do, I don't care. I WANT MY GOOGLE

It is a big problem when I can't use Tap & Pay. You'd certainly be angry too. Actually, my original complaint is listed on a different thread (Issue w/Tap & Pay). I couldn't use Google Tap and Pay.
While investgating the issue with both Google and Samsung techs, discovered everything else on my phone was changed.

Actually, purchased phone new from Verizon corporate store in September. I've been on vacation since September until the end of last week. I never used the tap and pay since I purchased the phone. I used tap and pay all the time on my old Samsung phone. *Note: didn't attempt to use Tap & Pay on this new phone until I returned from a relocation "vacation".

PS - Samsung wallet is accepted almost everywhere that takes electronic payments. I have come across only one place that did not accept it, and I just switched to Google wallet when that happened.

I've never had this issue before. I've had Samsung phones at least 8 years or more. I only got this new phone because Samsung update ruined my battery on my old phone. ALL Samsung users were complaining about it. As a matter of fact, last evening read on YouTube a Samsung users complaining about the bugs ruining his new phone.
Let me repeatedly, I NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE BEFORE!!!!@
I only purchase Samsung because as an American I want to know where phones are manufactured. I've been asking that question at least 20 years now prior purchasing a phone. Must be an Allied Country.

I uninstalled it because I am under a ton of stress, have a deadline to meet today and this is now going on two straight days of my time.

I just removed all Sansung apps w/1or2 exceptions. Still the settings page has that dumb no photo profile circle under which it says "Sansung account". No help! BTW: I had OWNED my phone and why do I keep getting emails to agree to Sansung terms?
Next, when I am in the city, going to Corporate Verizon store to have this mess cleaned up. Sansung now sending me msgs "pay for tech". Why? To fix the mess your tech said "yes, that's what we want", everything on your phone using Sansung as preferred.

Don't want what you're (plural) suggesting. #BigDifference
Or did you forget, quote, unquote "yes, that's what we (samsung) want" - Samsung tech.

No. Apple, Inc. recently began manufacturing their Pro Series in India. Apple had been searching to move their manufacturing out of China for awhile now. Negotiations with different countries finally resolved. India is a USA allied country, now a member of BRIC. One can look at the sealed box and see the country of origin.
