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

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.
Howdy peeps.
Bought the in-app upgrade to GO Weather EX, making it the 'premium' version.
(Most will consider it over-priced, but contrary to Play Store reviews found it a great app)
Bought it under my primary Google account. Added my secondary accounts (for GMail and Google+).
Occasionally, I'll find the widget crashed or simply want to click through for more info, and find its 'premium' state has disappeared. If I opt to purchase again, it's aimed at one of my secondary accounts. If I delete the secondary account and go back in to the app, 'premium' state STILL isn't there, but opting to buy again it recognises my primary account and re-instates the paid mode.
Happens on all my devices
GOWEX doesn't exist in the other accounts
Doesn't happen with any other application
Contacted the developers: yet to receive a response
Lodged a query with Google
Anybody have suggestions (besides changing weather apps)? Similar experiences?
Pain in the rear to have to delete my secondary account every few hours. Unfortunate circumstance, but really like the 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.
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!
Basically...
When I made my first Google Account 7 years ago.. I didn't exactly think about making a serious username. Lets do some math here.. I'm currently 18, so 7 years ago would make me 11 when I came up with my google gmail username..
Yea..
Problem is, I've stuck with it, still to this day, because there's so many contacts, purchases, music, data, storage, etc.. bundled into my account. 7 years of everything and anything google attached to a Gmail address that isn't formal enough for what I would like.
Since google does not currently offer simple Gmail address changes, the only solution for me would be to create an entirely new google account. (correct?) But I'll have to move everything over, atleast as best I can.. can't really move purchases over I don't think.
Anyways.. I'm looking for opinions on the best way to go about this. Has anyone done something like this before? Say anything! Thanks
It's called Google Takeout.
