Hello everybody,
I am trying to figure out how to create a new GMail address to link all my stuff to, and I am having issues. My current google account is [email protected], and I do not want to use that address anymore as it seems childish to me. The problem is, I have purchased many apps using this google account, and I do not want to pay for all of these apps again. Basically, I just want a new address that I can send and receive emails from without losing apps. I don't really care what the login is. Can anybody help?
Well you can log into your phone with that account, and use the 2nd in gmail because that has the multiple accounts option.
Okay, that is good, I didn't think of that. I'll try it out. Thanks

Hi,
I am outside the US.
But I know that there are paid apps, however we cannot see it ...... blocked ...so sad
Can anyone tell me how can I pay these apps? At least have a look......
Many thx ...
Wait for Google to turn it on in your area....
or try to find the email to the developer of the app you want, give them a shout and see if they can help. Id be glad to help ya find the emails if you want.
Well .... thx
But can anyone give me some must-buy apps. or something great, so that I can have further moves.

How about you go to the application forums.
If you're in the UK, just wait 24 hours:

GET IN !! - cheers for good news
Paid apps have arrived it seems...
Indeed they have! They're charged in dolllars though.. bit odd.
Oh FFS... great.
'Some applications can't be accessed using your account. Sign in with a googlemail.com account to use these applications'.
So I can't use my google apps account to buy things using the phone even though it works fine to buy things elsewhere, and have to create a completely different account just for the phone.. that'll screw up they synchronisation of my mail and calendar.
Or I can just not buy things. Their loss.
OK found a workaround.. it's messy, probably risky, but seems to work.
Log into your google account as normal. Create a gmail account. Now you have both a gmail account and your google apps account, with the same email addresses but different email stores, except the gmail account also has an @googlemail.com name.
In the gmail account, disable both pop and imap. This will make sure when you login with a client like firefox it picks up the apps account.
Now you need to setup a forward from gmail to google apps. You can't do this directly because gmail refuses, claiming it's forwarding to itself. To work around this, in the apps acount, create an alias to your primary email, eg. foo_alias. Now in the gmail account, tell it to forward all emails to [email protected] and delete the incoming emails.
SMTP *seems* to work automatically, going directly to the apps account, but the forward will take care of it if it doesn't.
Now you can login to the market to download paid apps, and the receipt will go to the googlemail.com account and be forwarded to your apps account.
I'm somewhat surprised this works.. Don't try if you're of a nervous disposition
so iv tried googlin this and never really got a clear answer. i could be asking the wrong question. i have a new gmail account that id like to use (just looks more professional) and id like to use it as my primary account for my i500. i know that i could just sync both and have the emails come in anyway but id like to just use it as junk mail account for facebook and those things and not have it on my phone. id like to just bring everything from one account to another..apps ,iv learned contacts, and whatever else i use on my phone.....mostly my app. thanks to any advice on this and im sorry if its poseted and im just slow today
Couple of easy ways I can think of off the top of my head to migrate contacts:
1. Export the contacts CSV from one gmail account and import to the other through the webmail interface.
2. Soocial with 2 gmail connections to replicate the contacts across.
As to the rest, I accidently the whole Android. But really I don't even... ;-) Please clarify exactly what you are looking for, and perhaps someone can give you a clear answer...
im sorry. im using and email account for my phone now. (email1) and i just made a new email id like to use it just like im using email1. so when i sign in with my new email it brings all my apps with it set cpu, root explorer, astro, ect...so i guess my real question how do i migrate apps? from one account to another
anyone at all? please if you know just point me in the right direction
I don't think that is possible cheif, but you could keep the old account as an 'App Drawer' of sorts. shut off gmail / contact sync / etc in Settings > Account Settings > Your Account. Then just leave it be.
Ok, here's some explaination for my issue, as it's not exactly a simple situation, I do apologize for the reading that's involved...
--
Recently I've added google+ to one of my google accounts. This re-enabled a previously disabled gmail account, which then proceeded to force itself as the primary login for that google account.
I already had a primary google account on my phone, which is the only account which I want to use gmail with.
When adding my account to my phone, I used the original email address (that was downgraded to secondary) as the login, but upon login, this was magically changed to be the gmail account that I did not want. After *much* searching, I found a way to delete this gmail account entirely, which seems to have worked out flawlessly as far as my online accounts work, from a browser at least. My previous login is now the primary, and my unwanted gmail account has been destroyed.
My issue now, is that this account did not get updated on my phone magically, as it did elsewhere. My phone is still showing the gmail account for that google account, rather than the email that it should be. Additionally, I still have 2 inboxes in gmail, although my secondary google account no longer has gmail associated as a product.
--
So on to my question... Is there some way which I can either edit the google account on my phone to update the login (and clear the gmail association), force the phone to refresh all of that google account data (updating the login name in the process), or perhaps even delete that secondary google account from my phone so that i could re-add it fresh?
If the answer is, that i need to wipe my phone... then that is the answer, but if that could be avoided, it would save me the pain in the butt that would cause.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Figured I'd give this just one bump just in case the right person didn't see it... I'm pretty close to just resigning myself to having to wipe my phone.
Yay for google, always knowing what's best for others...
Do you have the Google+ App on your phone. Is that maybe confusing the Google sync?
If you do perhaps try deleting the app and try syncing the original account?
do google sync again
is there a way to change your email address?
i made this gmail a long time ago, i dont like the name i have.. i want to change it as im more grown up now. but ive paid for apps, and have my google+, and contacts, and youtube account all connected to my email address.. so is there a way to transfer it to a new account?
ill give Thanks to anyone who can help
You can't change the name of an existing account. What you can do is create a new account and link them together. Here's a link for more detailed instructions.

is there any way to transfer my paid apps from one email address to another?
Unfortunately, none that I'm aware of, with that accounts system however you can keep buying things from your old address while all emails are conducted through the linked one.
Hey buddies, I'm looking for some help
Basically I changed the pass of my main Google account one week ago being sure that my browser saved it like I always do but it didn't happen.
I forgot it (prob I'm missing some words) and I can't retrieve it because Google is a ***** one, I tried many times to recover it fullfilling all the camps but I can't complete the recovery mail one since the mail that i I linked with the acc is expired somehow
So I'm looking for a way to recover the pass directly from the phone since I'm still logged in there, I tried with sniffing packets within my wifi but I got nothing and with looking for some database but nothing again
Any ideas or software that can help me out?

There is no need to use software or any kind of "hack" to recover the password if your are signed into the device with that account, as you claim you are.
If you're signed into the phone with the same Google account, use the "forgot password" feature, it will send an email to your gmail account, then just open the gmail app on the device and then find the email they send to change the password. If you are signed into the device with that account then you have access to the gmail app and the email for that account so this method should be sufficient.

Hello mate, thanks for you reply.
Yes, I'm logged into my main phone with the account that I'm trying to recover. If I do the "forgot password" feature from the browser or from the phone directly it will ask me the same things like it already did. I can complete all steps apart the mail one since the recovery mail is expired (my bad that I didn't change it).
For that I'm looking for some software/tricky way.
Regards.
