Since Google changed things you now get a default icon when you sign in. It's quite annoying when you're used to having your own customized icon. Your name also changed to whatever name is associated with your Google account.

There are options out there like signing in with Facebook. However Facebook will not allow you to have numbers in your name, so that doesn't work for me without changing my name. If someone knows a way around this, if I've just missed something, please let me know!

There's Weibo, but I can't I figure out Weibo because it's in Chinese. When I translate it to English it just doesn't work so good.

So how do you change your Google icon & name??

Changing your name and icon is relatively easy. Your name has to have a minimum amount of characters, which can be annoying (ME7 is not enough). The other annoying thing is that there are only 40 icon options and no ability to upload your own that I know of.

Here are step-by-step... steps;
 * 1) login to the game using Google
 * 2) On the main screen, click on the trophy icon (bottom right)
 * 3) click on the word "Achievements" in green at the bottom of your screen.
 * 4) on the left hand side you will see your small icon, click on it.
 * 5) on the next screen it will appear bigger, click on it again.
 * 6) at this point the icon should appear on the right hand side.
 * 7) here you can change your name.
 * 8) click on the icon again & you can scroll through the choices.
 * 9) save your changes and you're done.
