is there anything out there that will keep track of the free apps on my phone. I know the maket has all the paid apps stored. BUt the free apps seem to be "remember what you had and go find it again" Am I wrong? I've got a lot of very occasional use or background stuff, and I would hate to esort to pen and paper to write it all down.
The market stores both. I wiped my phone last night and when I rebooted all the apps I had downloaded previously reinstalled themselves, both paid and free.
I cant speak though if you uninstalled an app and then wanted to reinstall it, if it will stay forever in your market.
install appbrain and sync it.
I had this same problem a while. I had to tell it to sync to gmail (or Google, however It's worded) and if auto sync is turned off you have to manually tell it to sync. If i decline the backup to Google my market remembers paid apps, if i accept it and sync it at least one time, they are all in the market.

go to market.android.com in your browser
sign in with the account you use to make purchases on your phone.
top right, click 'my market account'
everything you ever downloaded is there. you can reinstall by opening the app and it will open up on your phone. hope this helps.
Installed CM7 on a mytouch 4G.
Used my google account to access the Market.
Installed a bunch of apps on it and configured them too.
Now I want to give this phone to a family member.
Can I replace my google account on this phone, without loosing all the apps and the respective configuration settings?
It's been a while since I have used CM. but I don't recall a way to replace the main Google account however you should be able to 'detach' the application from the market. Downloading Titanium Backup Root will allow you to detach the application from the android market where your account is linked to. (I suggest using the same application to do an apps backup first) Then switch the main account and attempt to reattach them. If you lose your settings or lose the apps, you have the backup to revert to.
Hope this help, and if there is an easier way out there use that, but this way is pretty straight forward (and you get a back up )
Cheers,

Cant you just go to settings, select the google account and press remove?

What?
No app will be deleted if you remove the active google account from settings.
You will most likely not be able to use google apps like gmail until you add a new account (that from your family member), but nothing gets deleted.
Non google apps will most likely work too, except you can't update from market until a google acount is added again and some paid apps employing the google licensing serve might refuse to work as there is no account attached, or the one attached, did not buy the app.
Just try it.

No, it will not let me do that. When I hit the "Remove account" button it says ...
"Do you really want to remove this account? Removing it will also delete all of its messages, contacts, and other data from the phone. Proceed?"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So I hit the next "Remove Account" button and it says ...
"This account is required by some applications. You can only remove it by resetting the phone to factory defaults (which deletes all your personal data). You do that in the Settings application, under Privacy."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only thing relevant under the Settings -> Privacy is the "Factory data reset". Which is what I want to avoid.
There are only a bunch of free apps installed on this phone. I want to keep those apps as-is and just swap the google accounts.
If you backup with titanium, assuming you are rooted, wipe data, flash ROM, then when setting up the phone just enter the new gmail and restore apps with titanium and bam. Kind of a pain, but it will get you where you need.

So if I have 2 google accounts setup under Settings -> Accounts then can I remove the first google account?
(Assuming that the second google account would then become the main google account for this phone.)

After doing a titanium backup, do you need to do the the Settings -> Privacy -> Factory data reset to reset the phone?
To answer the origninal question
In short-yes, you can change the primary google account by looking through the settings.
Without removing the first google account, I added the second google account.
But still it will not allow me to remove the first google account unless I do factory reset. Because I installed apps with the first google account.
However, it did allow me to remove the second google account right away. Because I have not done anything else after adding it.
I would Like to disable Play Store, Maps, Facebook, Hotmail, What's new and Some other 3rd party application from starting up with the phone. I would like to kepp these applications and only disable it's startup during booting. Anyone have a Solution.
I also dont want to delete or freeze them just to exclude apps from starting on boot.Help would be appreciated.
Guys Titanium Backup and ROM Toolbox are a few that does the job. Try them
Sent from my LG-P920 using xda app-developers app
Some update guys?!
Have you tried those applications? Did you solved your problems?
I tried Titanium and only did freeze app, not exclude from booting, didn't try ROM toolbox will do.
Did try to disable using System tuning pro. It disables the app completely. In a way I could stop LG's crappy App's.
I use Super Manager,it also has a function of disabling startup items.
There are many apps can do this . If you want the best app it's called "startup manager"
Or you can use "system tuner"

I use Gemini App Manager, I am unable to change all "Auto Run" options disabling any app I want from auto running for whatever reason, including but not limited to the device booting. I have changed all non essential apps to only run when I launch them. I use gemini for a lot of things, including copying apps from phone to SD and/or back to phone, uninstalling, etc. Its a great little app.
I think this seems like the right thread for me... I'm running ICS 4.0.3 on a factory rooted 7" Craig CMP741e tablet (CVS special, starter tab, AnTuTu rating about 4300). This is my first tablet, so I'm learning as I go. I want to try to speed up boot time. I'm running ES Task Manager. I've already disabled all non-system files from starting on boot, I just want to know which of these system files I can safely disable from the startup list without hurting anything:
Aldiko Premium
Calendar Storage
Contacts
Download Manager
Email
Exchange Services
GetJar
GMail
Google Contacts Sync
" " Partner Setup
" " Services Framework
Maps
Media Storage
MusicFX
YouTube
Those are all the ones that ES is suggesting I keep enabled. I don't want to actually remove any of them from my tablet, I just don't want them wasting any memory and causing lag until I actually choose to use them. It's a beginner tablet, just trying to squeeze as much performance out of it as possible.

I have two Gmail accounts on my phone: a personal one and a business one (we subscribe to Google Apps at work). I use all the goodies like calendar and talk on both accounts, so it's important to have both. I put the personal account on the phone first (haven't determined if this matters).
Regardless of which account I make active in the play store, my work account is always selected when I try to make an in app purchase (such as touch recovery from Rom manager or 'unlock full' from Plague Inc and other games).
Are others experiencing this? Anyone know a fix? I just tried on stock jellybean via the following steps:
1. Add personal account
2. Install an app with in app purchase ability
3. Add work account
4. Open play, verify personal account is selected.
5. Try to purchase something 'in app's
6. It shows my work account. Open play store, work account now selected.
I don't do in app purchases much, but they seem to be getting more common, and it's annoying to remove the work account before every purchase.

same here
same problem - please post solution!
Just ran into this problem too. My google apps account is automatically coming up for in-app upgrades, even though I don't have any play content (or credit cards or ...) associated with that account. Seems like a major flaw in google play. Can't select the other account, so I can't make any in-app purchases. Only solution (for one upgrade I had to buy) was to delete gapps account, make purchase, then re-add the other account.
Stupid. Please fix this google.
Same problem. I Can't test my own in app purchase for my own app. It keeps on selecting the first account on my phone that's also my developer account. Looks like some sort of bug.
Any progress?
Hi guys, I've noticed the same problem - did anyone get anywhere with it?
I thought it might be related to the order in which the accounts were added so I deleted both my accounts and added just the one that should be used for in app purchases. I then installed Microsoft OneNote mobile and went to its in app upgrade screen. It showed the correct account with payment details for upgrading. When I added the second google account though, the OneNote payment screen refreshed, even without me doing anything or having existed the app or even the payment screen, to show the newly added, wrong account!
So in order to make it work you'd have to remove one account, make the purchase with just one account set up, then add the second account. What a pain!

Data that was stored in the account is removed from your phone and gets back when you add it again
Still the same. Google is a horrible company when it comes to certain things. A bug like this at Apple would be squashed within a week.
Is there an official bug report somewhere for this to vote for?

Change the main account you want for in app purchases as Default by following steps below and u should do good
To change the default Google account when you are using the multiple sign-in, you need to Sign out of all accounts. Then log in to the Google account that you want to be the default first.
ive also attached an image if it helps:highfive:

We said about in-app purchase cannot select account in Payment Options. Not on the web.
Solution that worked for me!
Hey Guys,
I had the same problem as you describe, what i did to make it work and not show my work account in app purchases.
1. Delete app
2. install the app from browser where you are logged in to you private account.
3. Enjoy.
Hope with works great for you guys
Roundabout, but it works
what you have to do (seems like last guy was saying this?)
1. is uninstall the app from your phone.
2. the only way to change it is to go from your PC browser (very important!) to play.google.com and log in with the specific account you're trying to use for IAP's on your particular app.
3. you should be able to install the app, then go back to your phone and use the IAP with the correct account.
hope this helps everyone!
solution:
1) uninstall the app
2) go to play store and switch to the account you want to use to pay from
3) find the app in play store and install again
4) make your in-app purchase

This worked beautifully, thank you!
Know source of the problem, did not solve it though
Hello guys,
It's my first post here. And I hope this contributes something to solve this problem.
I think the problem lies within the 'all app' drawer of the playstore.
Simply the 'all app' drawer of the main account on which you installed the app first, will connect to the app as long as multiple accounts are available.
You can see it in the playstore in 'my apps' - > 'all apps'.
Usually all once installed apps show up there.
But if you've first installed an app connected to your 'secondary account' on some phone, then install it on a phone with another 'main account' and your 'secondary account', the app will show up only in the 'all apps' drawer of the 'secondary account'.
I hope that was understandable
One similar approach to the former workarounds.
-> You must have a backup of your accounts (titanium backup for example)
-> delete the secondary account
-> install the app (it will show up in the 'all apps' drawer)
-> restore your accounts (the app will remain in the 'all apps' drawer of the main account)
-> the app will connect to the right payment settings while in-app purchasing.
Now if there is any easier way to disable one account during the setup or to just connect the app to the right 'all apps' drawer , the problem should be fixed maybe

Hello,
I've tried to fix this problem for months - it makes using my phone as a phone very painful. I've reached out to Google via the app's feedback, have posted multiple Play Store reviews, have posted in the Google Community Support forum but no one will even acknowledge my posts. DRIVING ME INSANE.
I am trying to use the latest Google "Phone" Android dialer app (version 63.0.364655934 - though every single version has always had this same issue). The app was installed via the Play Store. All permissions have been granted. The app is set as the default dialer as well. I can open the app and dial a number, and incoming calls are working fine. The problem I'm experiencing: if I attempt to make a phone call from any other app, the Google "Phone" app is not listed as an installed dialer in the Android call/dialer intent received list of available dialer options. The default (Samsung) dialer is listed, as well as others (such as Skype for example), but not the blue Google "Phone" app. If I am texting someone in the Google "Messages" app and decide I would like to call that contact, when I touch the call icon the "Complete Using" Android dialer selection menu pops up (the one where you can choose which app you would like to use to complete the action, and whether you want to "Always" use that app or "Just Once") but the Google "Phone" app is not an available option, despite having all permissions granted and being set as the default dialer. This is extremely annoying and drives me crazy all day long and makes it very difficult to use my phone. If I ask Google Assistant to call someone, GA attempts to do so and that dialer selection menu pops up and nothing happens/GA cannot place the call because the Google Phone app is not listed as an option. I cannot make calls from the Google "Contacts" app. I cannot make calls whenever I select a phone number from a website in Google Chrome. It is extremely frustrating. I have sent feedback via the app multiple times, have written multiple reviews on the Google Play store and was told by the developer that my phone needed to have a good signal in order to be able to make calls and that I should submit feedback via the app, despite having clearly stated in my review that I had already submitted feedback multiple times. My phone has perfect signal - that has nothing to do with anything...
I believe it is the result of poor coding in the app's Android manifest / intent settings, and/or perhaps it could be that something conflicts with Samsung's proprietary Android software on my phone. My phone is one of the most common phones out there, and was one of the top selling phones last year in the United States: Samsung Galaxy A10e, on Verizon Wireless. Device software up to date, not rooted (because it's not possible for US Samsung devices to be rooted, unfortunately).
When I look at the App's enabled permissions and services, one permission seems to be disabled, and three services are listed as disabled, despite all permissions being granted in the Phone app's app/permission settings in the main Android Settings menu. Screenshots with more details attached.
Please help - thank you!

I'm on Verizon. It's so weird/dumb/annoying! I can't even ask Google Assistant to make a call, or open a contact in the Google Contacts app and then make a call, or click on a contact in the Google Messages app and tap the call icon. All I get is the pop-up menu that shows the disabled/not default Samsung dialer app (green) and Skype Lite, despite all permissions being granted and the Google Phone app being set as the default dialer app. I've tried the beta version as well and it's the same.
I'm constantly having to copy and paste or physically write down numbers because the stupid phone won't function as a phone and Google Support is non-existent and makes me want to chop my head off.

Unfortunately there's no way to uninstall any updates in the Google phone app, only uninstall the entire Google phone app altogether. Nor can I uninstall any updates for the built-in Samsung dialer app and I can't even disable the app as an app. :-(
I honestly think it's either poor coding on Google's behalf, or Samsung's locked-down / proprietary / Touchwiz crap being all finicky and annoying, or a combination of both. It's so dumb that I can't even use the Google Contacts app to dial a phone number or have Google Assistant place a phone call... with the Google dialer app... lol...
I really need to be able to make damn phone calls without having to copy and paste the number every ****inggggy time. This is absurd. Can someone please help or advise? There's no such thing as Google ****ing support. Their forums are pointless.
