"This device is already bound" message in the CHIGEE GO App

Why the CHIGEE GO App won't add your CHIGEE Display, and what to do if it's yours, bought used or missing from My Devices.

The CHIGEE GO App shows "This device is already bound" when the CHIGEE Display you're adding is still bound to another CHIGEE GO App account. That account may be another email address of yours, an account you deleted, or the previous owner's account if you bought the CHIGEE Display used.

Important: Deleting your CHIGEE GO App account, reinstalling the CHIGEE GO App or resetting the CHIGEE Display to factory settings doesn't remove the binding. Don't do any of these to fix this message.


Check which email address you're signed in with

If you've used more than one email address with the CHIGEE GO App, the CHIGEE Display may be bound to the other one.

  1. Sign in to the CHIGEE GO App with the other email address.

  2. Tap My > My Devices.

  3. If the CHIGEE Display is listed, it's bound to that account. Keep using that account, or unbind the CHIGEE Display there and add it to the account you want. See Unbind a CHIGEE Display from your CHIGEE GO App account.


If your CHIGEE Display disappeared from My Devices

If your own CHIGEE Display is no longer listed in My Devices and the CHIGEE GO App says it's already bound, CHIGEE Support needs to unbind it for you. CHIGEE Support can find the binding by your email address or serial number, even if you deleted the account.

If the CHIGEE GO App keeps showing "Incorrect verification code" when you open it, don't sign out and don't delete your account. Contact us with the details listed below.


If you bought the CHIGEE Display used

A used CHIGEE Display stays bound to the previous owner's account until the previous owner or CHIGEE Support unbinds it. See Add a used CHIGEE Display to your CHIGEE GO App account for what to ask the seller and which documents to send.


Contact us

If your own CHIGEE Display needs to be unbound, contact us with the following:

  • Serial number (SN): on the CHIGEE Display, go to Settings > About

  • Email addresses: the one you use now and any others you've used in the CHIGEE GO App, including a deleted account

  • Proof of purchase: your order number, receipt or invoice

  • Screenshot: the message in the CHIGEE GO App

If the CHIGEE Display was a gift, ask the person who bought it for the order number or receipt. Without purchase information, CHIGEE Support can't unbind the CHIGEE Display.

You don't need to send screenshots of the My Devices page or the delete screen, because the CHIGEE Display isn't in your account. CHIGEE Support usually unbinds it within 2 business days after receiving these details. Then open the CHIGEE GO App, tap Add Device, select your model and scan the SN code.
