If I uninstall the amazon app, the apps don't work anymore. Can a new user login with a different amazon account and use those apps?
Giving my phone to someone else, but don't want my amazon account on the phone.
The apps are tied to your account just like the Android market.
Amazon runs a service in the background that authenticates apps against it. If you uninstall the Amazon app the service goes with it and the apps can't authenticate. Though there may be a way to install the app store, then cut off it's access to the net so the phone only locally authenticates, your credentials are still in the phone and the new user may reinstate the App Stores connection, which would be bad. In addition I could imagine this being a pain in the butt to figure out how to do.

I want to root my phone but I want to back up my apps before I do so, mainly just xda premium because that's the only app I paid for. How do I do this if I'm not rooted?

Do a backup from your settings menu in phone. When you get a new phone just put in your gmail info on setup and it will automatically download most of your apps from the market. The last part is that any app you pay for stays with your gmail account. When you get a new phone and set up your gmail info go into market and you will see it say purchased. The catch is that you have to use that gmail account from here on out. If its not the main account on the phone neither of the previous suggestions will work.

oh ok sweet, i already had my gmail account set up so i guess i'm good
So when I went to the market to put xda premium back on my phone it's saying I have to buy it again. The market shows that I'm logged into my gmail account as well.

Astro, free in the Market. Once installed, Menu, Tools, Applications manager/Backup. Ir will create a folder called Backup and a subfolder inside it, called Apps.

If you are logged into the same Google account the purchase was made on, you can re-download any purchased app at any time without paying again.

Just remembered I bought it through Amazon so I got it that way.
Now another question. I had backup assistant with verizon and when I started my phone the first time I got it it loaded that up and put in all my contacts. How do I get it to do that now that I'm running gummyCHARGED
Okay maybe a stupid question
I'm a developer.. but this is my first Android phone... so forgive me if this is a stupid question.
If I buy an App on GmailAccount#1. Can I back it up and then restore it if my phone is synced to GmailAccount#2?
Reason I ask, and maybe this is the way it is suppose to be, but coming from an iPhone I am use to sharing apps with my wife's phone.
I researched a bit and it seems like the only way to do that is if you decided to setup a third gmail account, and make it the primary for both, and then sync our personals after that.
Is there an easier way to share apps within the household? Or is it suppose to be more of a 1 app per device vs 1app per household?
If I can't do both, I'll probably buy fewer apps, especially the more expensive ones. I could justify it more when at least I could get 2 (actually 3 cause I have an iPad too) installs out of it.
Apps are matched to the purchasing account and only the purchasing account.
I believe that's intentional, as it's a bit unfair to app developers for the OS provider to decide their apps can all be shared.
HOWEVER: if you put the Amazon Appstore on both phones and sign in to the same Amazon account, the Google account the phone's set up on is irrelevant. Most really good apps are on the Amazon Appstore now (and in general, the quality of apps is higher and they're certainly safer since Amazon approves every single app).
Hello,
I recently borrowed tablet that I needed to create app for some company, that was the chief's son tablet. I did the job, gived it back and was sure that i logged out from my google account. But right now on my google account in "my apps" I see thousand of free apps and I am scared that this kid will start buying paid games on my credit card. I contacted chief via e-mail, but till now there is no answer. Cannot contact him personally because right now I am not in the city.
So is there any way to exclude one of devices from my google account via web browser on my computer?
Can't you just change your Google password instead?
Well, I didn't thought about this, actually I can do it if there is no other way. I do not know how complicated it will be, because I have this two-step verification login etc.
I don't believe there is any other way of simply deleting a device from your Google account.
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.... My wife decided to purchase me a brand shiney new Droid 2 as a surprise. The rep @ Verizon typed my email incorrectly, creating a new Google Account for me. Instead of "draexo" the rep typed "draxeo". I did not notice for some time and was purchasing apps under the miss-spelled user name. Forward many years and I still have two Google Accounts. Every ROM I flash, I put in both accounts so that my paid apps would not have to be purchased again. Most of the paid apps under the miss-spelled name are no longer around, however a few key apps are (ROM Manager, SET CPU, TiBu). I would like to finally retire this miss-spelled Google Account. I figured out that to re-purchase the apps would be under 20$ so I am all set to do that. Is there a way, however, to sort out which of my APPS were purchased under which account and which FREE apps were downloaded under which account. I was thinking TiBu would sort by account, but it does not appear to have a filter for Google Account. Any ideas or suggestions I can try?
Thanks
Hey,
I am using Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T on Nc6 (4.4.2) cfauto rooted/twrp....
Is there an app to break or disallow apps from using single sign on?
My desire arises from having one account (an old one) on Amazon Appstore that I have purchased lots of paid apps on, but somewhere along the line I created another Amazon account and bought Prime, so the suite of Amazon apps with their sso functionality now requires me to basically sign in and out of everything all the time (especially when I want to use an app that's associated with the old Amazon account)
If I use an app from old account while signed into one of Amazon suite with new account (Amazon.com app, kindle reader, etc...) it says I don't own app prompting me to sign into old account all over.
Major pain in the arse!
*And yes I have called Amazon to see if they'd combine the accounts. I don't know why they can't. It seems like merging two accounts would be common sense functionality.
So.... Can anyone help? Do we have any developers who have worked on this? If not, is breaking sso even possible? How?
Thanks in advance!
After update to Lolipop my market shows only Free apps and says not available in your country VPN doesn't help
Did you use multiple Google accounts earlier? At least I have old apps purchased using my old Google account so I need to add that account to Nexus and use that in store to install paid apps.
No I have been using this account all the time, the thing is I have mad lot's of purchases with this account but I don't know what can be wrong, My Country was not even listed in Google Play supported country list but I still was able to buy apps, I can see paid apps from browser but until the moment I log in, I even checked my old gMail account I signed in and was able to see PAID apps but once I refreshed the page only free were left (( That's why I hate google ....

Are you sure you are looking in the correct spot? You can see any previous installed apps if you go into My Apps, then into All. You can even install all of them at once if you push longer on one app, then on all the apps you want to install. I don't have that Tab anymore, it's something related to the last version of Play Store.
Well I can install apps I've purchased before they are visible in MyApps TAB but not in General to Buy them Looks like Country restriction is working again somehow
