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] Why do my emails get deleted from my phone

I am using T Mobiles standard email app on my Sensation with a POP account. The phone is unlocked by T Mobile but never been rooted and is stock with all T Mobile updates.
I can download my emails no problem and as far as I`m aware it leaves them on the server. There are some I like to keep indefinately on the phone, for example, travel insurance details or weekend away vouchers. For some reason after a period of time, say about 3 or 4 days, these emails have vanished and are not in the deleted items folder. Where have they gone. Is there a setting somewhere that will let me keep them. I`ve searched all over the phone and I can`t find one. I`ve also searched the forum and can`t find this specific problem.
Hi there. Why don't you use the straight gmail application from the play store? I can promise nothing gets deleted. My guess is T-Mobile has a time limit or
Something to keep the emails and they delete them after. I also am T-Mobile user but I've always used gmail instead. I never lose an email. In fact some important emails I've kept for over a year now. Just download the app from the play store, set up the account, and you will have a more reliable email. Just don't use the email icon, use the gmail. Somehow it's different. It keeps all the emails until you delete them. Hope this helps. I've always used gmail and never ever had a problem like that. Best wishes to you.

Thanks for that I`ll give it a go, although I have a Gmail account but don`t use it very much. Can I add my POP accounts to the Gmail app so they all open in Gmail, if you know what I mean
****EDIT**** Managed to sort it by going to the Gmail settings on my PC and then lo and behold it was all synced to my phone, sorted

New Google Calendar help

Hello all. I want to first apologize if this isn't the proper place for this question. Please move to the proper place if that is the case.
I have a very weird issue with the new google calendar app. There are only 3 contacts that the app does not show the picture in the birthday calendar. These same 3 also can not be tapped to "wish a happy birthday".
I've tried clearing the data through Settings/apps/downloaded-calendar-clear data.
I've tried restarting the phone.
I've tried updating the contact info through both google contacts online and on the phone.
I thought maybe it was because these 3 had no last names so i added last names. Nothing
I also thought maybe because they didn't have email addresses attached to them. Added an email. Nothing.
Its so frustrating because in the calendar app that came preloaded on the phone does show these 3 contacts and their pictures, as well as everyone else's. So I'm really at a loss on what to do. Any help?

Gmail account icons

Hey everyone, I need some help. Since the Gmail app updated to the "Material Design" look, I've had an annoyance when trying to switch between my email accounts. In order to quickly switch, you can tap on the icon for the email address you wish to switch to. The problem is, two of my accounts are using the default Gmail silhouette, so I can't tell which one is which from the menu:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BwgHw8RSjQikR0pfYWUyWXhxeFE/view
For all three of my accounts, I have uploaded a profile picture via the general tab in Gmail settings in the browser. My personal Gmail shows my picture, no problem, but for some reason the other two don't come through. I'm not sure if it matters, but both are Google Apps for Work accounts . Anyone know how I can fix this?
Thanks,
shingy

Facebook and Accounts issue.

So, I bought a Sprint Note 5. First day of owning it, I rooted and flashed one of the deoxed roms listed on the site (sorry, can't recall which at the moment). Everything had been perfect with exception of one tiny thing. My contacts don't have photos assigned to them. I started to investigate my settings as to why Facebook hadn't syncd with them and noticed some users have an extra setting in their Facebook app than others. Mainly the sync contacts option. So, I went on over to my accounts tab under settings and noticed my Facebook account wasnt listed. When I clicked add account then clicked on Facebook, one of two things would happen. A. If I didn't have Facebook opened already, the screen would act as of it were about to load sobering then kick me back to the original accounts page under the note 5s system settings. Or, B. It would open my prelaunched facebook app. I think this maybe part of my problem, as it won't allow me to add my account and this sync my contacts with it. I'm not sure if this is due to removed features from the rom, a modified accounts.apk [if one exists. Was only able to locate the account and sigs for note 2] or possibly some missing services that were removed. What I was hoping for was if the accounts portion is actually an apk, if someone could attach a copy of it. Or, if someone knows why this would be happening, to fill me in. Thanks in advance.
I've had this issue too. Seems to be a feature that Facebook removed in one of the latest updates. My supervisor did not update his app in a while and he had the option in the app to sync contacts. I always update mine on all my devices and it was gone. Hopefully it is just an error and they bring back the option.
