I'm no longer seeing the package tracking card when I order something off Amazon. When I asked to track my package this is what came back:

"You have info about a recent purchase in Gmail. Only you can see the results"
Any idea how I can get tracking back to Google Now?

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!
Using Samsung Mesmerize.
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)

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).
So every time I use the web to browse the App store I have the option to download apps to all of my registered devices. While I wiped my Prime before returning it to Best Buy, it still shows up on my google play account. Does anyone know how Google keeps track of the devices? Serial? Is it possible that my refurbished Prime could be sitting somewhere receiving Apps I send to it? If yes, do you know of any cool things I could send to its new owner?
only if they log in with your gmail acct.
So I installed the Google Now update a couple days ago when Android 4.2 was announced. It's suppose to be able to pick tracking numbers, flights, etc., out of your Gmail.
My question is, does it only do this for emails received after you install the update?
I ask because I had 2 packages being delivered yesterday (Thursday the 1st) and Google Now had a couple days to index my inbox but it never showed anything about tracking information and I do have emails containing the tracking information, one from UPS and one from USPS. I also have a flight in two weeks to Denver. I received the confirmation email about two weeks ago and Google Now hasn't showed that at all either.
Any suggestions?
And yes, I have all the options turned ON for those particular settings in G-Now.

I would think it would be for emails after you install. Otherwise you would have a lot of old non relevant items show up.
Did you try forwarding the email to yourself? Maybe that would pick it up.

I see what you're saying, but since it's suppose to be able to pick out dates and stuff (I think anyway), it would know what fights you have coming up and which ones are in the past.....?
Yes, I sent the email to my work address, then back to myself. Still nothing.
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.
