So in light of yesterday's Google wallet announcement that you can attach money to an email, I had a question about whether it's currently possible to link a bank account to Google Wallet.
They say that credit/debit card money transfers will be charged a 2.9 percent fee, but transfers directly from a bank account will be free. It also shows in the help page how to link your bank account.
The problem for me is that the method doesn't exist yet for me. When I go to my payment method page, the only option is to add another card. Does anyone else not have the ability to add a bank account, or is it just me?
I'm wondering because I just tried to verify my identity, and it didn't work. It wants me to send in pictures of photo ids and stuff now, so I thought that might have something to do with why it doesn't work for me. Maybe your identity has to be verified first. The other possibility is that maybe they just haven't rolled out the feature yet, and nobody has it yet. Thanks for any input.

I work for Sprint and a customer came in with a unique problem. He is using the stock rom, didn't have any backup whatsoever for his contacts whatsoever. The gmail that was attached to his account was inadvertently removed (gmail store data cleared, google apps etc.) I was wondering if there is any way to figure out what the gmail username was, or if the contacts are saved in cache/cookies anywhere else on the phone or SD card. He lost around 10 years worth of contacts so we are trying to recover those for him. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. He claims that one of the reps from another Sprint store set up his phone for him, but we have no way to confirm whether it was someone else or him who set up the account.
Have him call one of his contacts that he has emailed and ask them for the email address he sent to from. At least that will get you the username.

I have purchased several apps through the Market. It automatically goes to my stored credit card info through Google Shopper. A little worried about this...don't want to lose my phone and have the possibility of someone buying a bunch of apps. Any idea how to turn off the automatic purchase? I have looked through forums and the Google site, but can't find a solution. Any help would be great!

I would lock the Phone with a password or the "password gesture", so if the phone is stolen nobody can use it, after factory reset all your settings are gone (if they do this)...
After buying you can login to Google checkout. I.e login to gmail, select account at top right and then checkout. There you can add or delete cards. Delete on your case. If you want to buy more apps later you just re-add card (and delete it after buying again)

So did anyone else notice that the new Market has an account setting? Allows me to select different accounts. Does this finally mean that I can merge two accounts worth of apps? Family style?

Im not sure if you can merge 2 accounts, They have to have a way of preventing people from signing into a family members account and downloading apps that were bought thru said account. If not then it poses a serious problem for app developers and devs getting paid correctly. Unfortunately I dont have another account to test it on..

"Your application purchases are tied to your Google Account and can be installed an unlimited amount of times on any device." See:

It works for watching movies rented on another account, too:

Keep in mind you do still have to add the additional Google account(s) to the phone, meaning the device will have access to all other Google services including Gmail.
so lets say I added my gmail account to my wifes phone and downloaded all the apps I have paid for to her phone..couldnt I just delete my gmail from her phone after and her phone would still have all my apps on it?
The documentation doesn't say, but most likely yes, and it'd be real easy to test it. Just add your account, download an app, remove the account, and see what happens.
Keep in mind, though, that without the associated Google account you won't be able to update those apps -- which is an enormous downside in the long run.

I plan on just having a family account to buy apps on, and then add that to all the phones. But it use to be that it had to be the main account.. I haven't purchased any apps yet, recent iphone switcher, but now it appears to not have to be the main account... which is awesome cause google talk only worked with the main.
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.
Hi,
Have a Galaxy S4 with a standard Android 5.0 build on it. All working well.
I have a Google Play store account with a credit card assigned.
I also have another Google Play store account which I have added a $30.00 Google play store voucher to.
When I want to purchase a Google play resource, it always selects the primary Google account with the credit card assigned to it.
Is there any way to select the 'second' account with the $30.00 Google Play voucher for payment of app/purchase?
I'm thinking I could remove the Google Play account with the credit card, leaving only the second account with the voucher, but wondering if there is a cleaner way of accessing the $30.00 voucher card account., without having to delete accounts.
Thanks for any thoughts/help.

I believe you must sign out of the first from settings>accounts>Google. Then sign in with your other account.

Hmm.. that's what I was thinking too. But was hoping you could "magically" switch between accounts without having to "remove" the primary credit card account. and then add it again later. It would/could seriously trash an Android device if the primary account has purchased many apps like Titanium Backup, Droidmail, Business Calendar and etc.
If lucky, at best those apps will just not work during the switch, at worst.....
Before I really thought about this, I thought is was a good/easy way for "significant other" to buy stuff on the voucher card and not have to concern myself about using the credit card account.
I believe, without ever having done it, a primary account can have multiple payment options.
Thus the primary account could have both the credit card and the voucher.
BUT, the voucher was just for one person and not the other little monkeys that use the 'primary' account for all there 'generic/common' paid applications.

You could try to just add the other account to your device. Settings>accounts>add account>Google.
Then see if you get the option to switch between the two.
