Android market Multi accompt - General Questions and Answers

hi all,
i post it because i search a way to manage two or more Android market account
because i've bought many app in my other account but spam is to present ...
so if someone know how to switch between account
Thanks

From my understanding because of personal experience... no, there's no way to do that. The most you can do about it is email the developer of each app, explain your situation and email them the original receipt of purchase. Some devs would happily offer this service; some will just ignore the email. This has been a problem with the Market ever since it came out. There's just no way of doing this through Google.

but if i do that i'll have no update if app is update

How can I install paid app.?

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......

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.

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

New GMail Address

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

[Q] How Do I Get My Apps Back???

Hi,
When I first got my phone a month ago and not knowing what I was doing, when prompted to log into a Gmail account, I set things up with my tertiary/third-most-used account. Little did I know the consequences. When I decided I wanted to now set the phone up with my primary account, I discovered that the only way to do so was with a hard reset!
Well, after going through that process and now wanting to download and install several dozen Market apps that I previously had installed (several of which I'd paid for), I logged into Market, only to find a message saying "No downloads from Android Market."
I assume that Market doesn't recognize my new Gmail address as belonging to the same person as the one I was using previously (even after I added it). Is there a way that I can associate the two accounts for Market so that I can get my apps back?
Thanks!
This might be a dumb question and a little too late, but is there a reason you NEED the phone set up with your most used account? If I'm not mistaken, it ought to be painfully easy to set the phone up with a second google account for things like gmail and calendar and such. You might even be able to get contact sync from a second google account, with apps and such just syncing from the old account that you already used for that purpose.
I'd have at least given that a try before doing a full wipe, but you might have reasons I haven't thought of yet.
Not a dumb question at all. In fact, I'm the one feeling pretty dumb right now, for jumping the gun like I did. I did have a couple of other reasons, but I'm beginning to see that it wasn't as

...worth the cost. The other problem now is that I'm deluged by mail from my primary Gmail account. It also goes to my ISP account, where I can read it much more efficiently.
I can see another hard reset in my near future. :-(

I can tell you from experience (I've flashed a few roms...) that a hard reset isn't nearly as hard when you're syncing to the google account that has all your contacts and apps attached to it...
Silas, you lost me. What do you mean that it isn't as hard? Because you don't lose as much data? Are you talking about doing a hard reset without switching accounts like I did?
Would I be better to reset again (not a big deal at this point) and go back to the way it was, or not? Would I get my apps back (I hope)?
FWIW, I use my Gmail accounts only to collect and back up my email accounts, and for quick searches. I thought I might start using Google Calendar, though, and thought it might be better to use the one in my main Gmail account. Possibly I could sync the same calendar to both accounts,though -- could I?
And finally, is there any way at all to get my paid apps back with my current setup?
Thanks, everyone.

This might help you. Go into gmail and click the account address in the upper right corner. At the bottom is an option for adding an account. You should be able to let you apps back after adding that other account back. Hope it helps. If not, at least I tried.

Well, I thought I had replied a couple of hours ago, and here's my message, still waiting to post. Sigh....
Thank you, ZeroRilix. Unfortunately, no dice.
When I did that, there were already three accounts there. After hard resetting and setting up my primary Gmail account, I had also set up my other two Gmail account in Accounts & sync in Settings. However, when I viewed them as you suggested, it said that neither of them had been synced. So I made sure that Contacts, Calendar, and Mail were synced for all three accounts. When I went into Market and viewed My Apps, all I saw were still the few I had downloaded since the hard reset.
Thanks, though....
No prob. Everything you've already tried should've worked. I might suggest contacting Android Market and letting them know what's going on. I have included the link to the appropriate form to fill out. Sorry your still having issues, and maybe they can help you further. If you get the issue resolved, post back here so users who might run into this same issue cam fix it. Good luck!

I thought for sure I'd replied to this, but I can't see my response anywhere. Don't know why I'm having such trouble posting.
Thanks very much for this. I sent a support request yesterday and will let you know what they say. Unfortunately, it's Saturday, and I assume nobody's there to answer. Why do things always go wrong on the weekend?
Hi,
Here's my latest update. Not wanting to wait till Monday or later for a reply from Market Support, I decided to try posting my question to the Android forum at androidforums.com. I got a couple of helpful responses and I'm back in business. Here's the thread for anyone interested:

The short version is that I started over the way I had initially and all my apps downloaded automatically!
Thanks again for the help.

[Q] Google+ Account needed to Review an App in Google Play Store

Today I wanted to write a Review for a Purchased App that I found to be very nice in the Google Play Store. Unfortunately I realized I am no longer able to do so without changing my Google Account to a Google+ Account.
I tried to stay away from signing up for a Google+ Account for a while now but keep getting closer and closer to having to do so. Does anyone know of a way to Review Apps in the Store without Google+. I was very suprised to see this from Google. Not a very nice change and it will certainly keep some people from writing comments.
By the way I am not writing this to start a debate about the Pros and Cons of Google+ but to find ways to stay away from Google+ for as long as possible for whatever reason there might be. I could not find a debate about Googles Move on XDA so I am wondering if I am the last one without a Google+ Account.
I think if you have Gmail acct you also have Google+ acct. I never "signed up" for Google+ either but if you open the app you'll see your acct already using your Gmail user name. I think the message on the playstore is just a legal notice in case you want to change your user name before posting cause most people don't want their actual legal name posted (like anyone uses their real name for Gmail anyway).

You can avoid G+ for the time being, but Google has plans to bring Android, G+ and Chrome gaming together, so you're pretty much screwed in the near future, sorry.

Well it asks me to upgrade my Gmail Account to a Google+ Account all over the place. And I cant use my Account anywhere were Google mandates a Google+ Account. For now I will not accept the changes and life with the limitations.

You are most likely right and I am just hopping to be able to use my Account a little longer until I can change back to Microsoft. Not sure if that will work out for me since I am a Galaxy Note User and with that I most likely will not change until a same sized device comes out with Windows Phone 8. Which probably is not going to hapen anytime soon. Anyway long story short I guess I cant write Reviews for my purchased Apps anymore which I can life with, I rather accept that then change my Account.
Oh man. Well thanks for letting me know.
I'l been doing my damnest to avoid Google+ for years now. Seems like I'll have to stop review apps too.

Can anybody move my test app to their google developer account?

Hi there !
Yesterday i created developer account and published an app. App was approved. Now today i wanted to close the google account and get the refund so i contacted google support.
