I'm trying to change the google account linked with my android phone but at the same time, keep all of the applications that I have gotten. I also do not want to have a factory reset and I have only bought one application. Or, if it would be easier, could I just keep the android market linked to my old google account and make everything else linked to my new one?

Hello,
My girlfriend's Desire S got the upgrade to Google Play market but it doesn't work anymore. I also tried to remove the upgrade but the issue is still present.
This is strange because I have the Desire S too, with the same ROM and configuration, but I didn't have such problem with the market that has been flawlessly upgraded.
The problem is that when I launch Google Play, or the Market 3.4.4 after the downgrade, it asks for a new Gmail account.
Something like: "To continue you have to add an account to the device. Add one now?" (Yes or No).
Of course if I say No, the Market quits.
If I answer Yes, it prompts for a new Google Account setup (note that the google account is already set up). Then I tap on Access (I already have an account and I don't want to create a new one) and once I try to login with my account it says that the account is already present on the device.
At this point I don't know what to do.
Already tried to reboot the phone and to clear data into Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->Market. But still no success.
What to do?
I've also cleaned the dalvik cache but nothing.
EDIT: Sorry, but I found out that my girlfriend made a wrong PDroid configuration, disabling all permissions to the Marked. I reinstalled the 3.4.7 Google Play version and now all works good.
I hope this could help someone else.
Hello, i have 3 gmail accounts in my phone, one for contact, other for work, and another one is personal, i like have separetes purpose account, but sometime i have internet problems and i need direct download apk and install it without use playstore and sometime i forgot change account and they appear in wrong account, so i want know it it is a way that android ask me in which account it will be installed, and another question about account, i sometimes install diferents app only for test it and choice one, but all them are attached to a account so i should go to my playstore and manually tell playstore that forget it. Is there a way that install a app unlinked to any account?, Thz
I just set my Mother-in-law up with a new Nexus 5 updated to Lollipop. She had an existing gmail account that we used to sign in at the phone setup. However, when opening the Play Store, I notice that none of the preinstalled apps (Gmail, Calendar, etc) show up in My Apps. However, searching for these apps in the Play Store show they're installed and give the option to Update them. Do I really need to do this one by one for each app for an account that has never used Android? After updating an app, then it shows up in my apps, but it seems like a giant waste of time to have to sync them with my account.
That really doesn't seem right.. I'd try a simple factory reset first and see if it works then.
Actually confirmed this with another account too (never had signed into Android before). Guess maybe the easier thing to do might be do it through the web link to Play store.
For clarification: I've already found the appropriate forum but I just joined so I need a higher post count. It pointed me here; albeit, I'll take help from anywhere. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/t/lg-g-padx)
My device is using Android 6.0.1. I can log into Google accounts just fine on the main account on the device, but when I log into the restricted one Drive tells me that there are no existing accounts. From there, I went to the Google accounts application, and the appropriate account is there for me to log into, but when I press it, it disappears. Don't know if that is an active bug, or a dumb way of Android Marshmallow telling me I can't do that. Is there a way I can accomplish logging into Google accounts on my local restricted account, or do I need alternative methods, such as, a specific mod/OS? Mind that this is a brand new device.

This is a very old problem, and Google isn't fixing it for reasons best known to them.
I have multiple Google accounts in my device, each for a specific purpose. I buy apps using one account, while I use another account for backups, adding devices like earphones, speakers, etc.
The problems experienced are as follows:
1. Some of the apps where I have in-app purchases fail to verify the account. For some apps, uninstalling and reinstalling using the right account on Google Play Store resolves this problem, while for others, the solution is to remove the other accounts one by one, until the app successfully verifies the account used to make the in-app purchases.
2. I bought a new pair of earphones that support Fast Pair. When trying to set it up, it was not showing the account that I wanted to add the device to. The only way was to remove the accounts from the device one by one until the account I wanted to use showed up on the Fast Pair screen.
3. Purchases on Google Play Store: Same problem when Google Play Store shows the wrong account for making a purchase. Only way is to remove other accounts one by one until the one you want is selected.
Google isn't offering a way to simply change the account that the user wants to use for any of the above scenarios.
As far as I have seen, the account used during 1st setup (which is usually used for Backup and Restore) is given priority or used as a Default account. And Google doesn't offer a way to simply change the account when a particular scenario demands it.
Is there a solution to this problem.
Thanks.
If your phone's Android supports multi-user-accounts then create per each user a related account

That's far from a solution. And my phone doesn't have the multi user feature either.
Does it mean one can't use multiple Google accounts on a device and get things to work as desired?
