This issue has not been resolved. My Gmail address is not receiving the automated emailed activation link. Also I used an alternate (not gmail) address with no success. As of today I have tried dozens of reboots, resets, unplugs, replug, and nothing has worked.
This all started this morning when no apps would connect (hours of attempts & reboot, etc & confirming wifi, internet all at excellent connection & speed) so I reckoned a Factory Reset was in order.
The above is the current result.
