[Q] Help with Google play store!

So market changed to Google play store...fine, whatever.
Problem is I have 3 Gmail accounts on my phone yet Google play store is only showing two of them...so how in the hell do I add the third one so the apps I have under that account can be updated when necessary?!?
I did a search on Google and of course I find nothing.
Thanks!
Assuming a recent build (Gingerbread, ICS...) Settings\Accounts and Sync\Add Account.
Not on gingerbread. Samsung Epic 4G with midNIGHT Rom v 5.3.
When I go into settings I don't see an option to add an account for Google Play.
Now here's the rub...the account that doesn't show up on my phone...is the account I registered under on my laptop.
I'm am totally, completely and thoroughly stumped!
Is the account still showing in settings > accounts as a Google account? If it is then I suggest you contact them directly as it's obviously an issue.
Somehow the missing account was deleted from my phone.
Added it back. All is well.
Thanks all!

If not showing up on your phone (home screen\settings\Accounts and sync), I would try re-adding the account to the phone and see what happens. If not, as Archer suggests, contacting Google would be a good idea.
Edit: You solved it while I was posting.
I can no longer get into the Android market unless I agree to accept whatever Google's legal terms are for their 'Play' and 'Books' services. But I don't intend ever to use these. Google really is getting beyond the pale, presumably introducing this change on a day when they hope that attention will be focussed on whatever Apple are up to. I shall now be looking for alternate market places. Any pointers please?

Please don't purposely go off-topic just to boost your post count. At least the other thread where you copied and pasted this post was relevant!

Have you tried getting apps from slideme.org ?
It's like Google Play but includes non-Market apps also.

[Q] 'Share Via' Menu

Hello all, long time lurker here.
I was wondering if there is any mod or app out there that lets me completely customize the Share Via menu. It's a totally handy feature other than the fact that a lot of the apps I want to use don't show up in that menu.
I've researched it and I've come to find out that; which apps show up in the share via menu are hard coded into each individual app, and in order for them to show up you would need to contact the developer to get him/her to add that feature.
Now, I'm wondering has anyone done anything to address this issue? I'm no programmer or anything, but I imagine it wouldn't be that difficult to be able to modify that menu extensively. There's and app out there call AndMade Share( https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andmadesoft.share ) that allows you to be able to edit the menu somewhat, but it doesn't allow you to add apps. I'm thinking one could possibly just completely edit the share via file, and allow a user to be able to decide which apps open in the 'Share Via' menu according to file extension.
For example, if I wanted to Share a .jpg, I could customize the Share Via menu to include, Instagram, Gallery, Picshop, Photoshop Express, Photogrid, etc. Or if I wanted to open a .MP4 I could customize the share menu to include, Video Manager, Video Trimmer, Video Player, Rock Player, etc.
I feel as though I've over explained this, but whatever. Is there anything out there like this that exsists or am I just stuck hoping and wishing?

New GPS Spoofing App /w Built in Joystick

Hey all I have created a new GPS spoofing app called "Fake GPS Controller" available on Google Play. (can't post link due to new xda account registration, you'll have to search for it)
It has a built in floating joystick which allows you to directly control where you want to move (simulates walking or running). Also, it does NOT require "Mock Locations" to be activated in developer options if you are rooted and install it as a system app to the /system/priv-app folder.
Hopefully this doesn't run afoul of the forum rules, yes I'd like to get some attention for my app, but also some feedback, and discuss improvements.
I have 100 codes available for free download, I will post some below, and can post more or do some sort of BETA if there's interest. Lastly, please if you download it and you like, please rate the app favorably. Thanks!
Oh, one more thing, the app has issues with rubber banding location on some? newer phones (I think it's an Android Marshmallow issue). From my research I don't think this problem is specific to my app, it sounds like all the spoofing apps are having this problem. I'm actively looking for solutions to this problem and would love to fix this in my app. I've read posts suggesting disabling Fused Location provider but would like to find a more simple approach if there exists one that I can incorporate directly into the app..

Is there any way to utilize multiple digital assistants on Android 11 (and above)

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if there is any way to use more than 1 digital assistant service at a time on Android, specifically Android 11 in my case but I'm sure the answer to the question has implications spanning Android versions. I searched the forum and Google with no hits at all, which was surprising. I was actually using Whoggle but it parses/delivers the same results Google would, only sans tracking and the like, so I figured inquiring with the lot of you would be my next best move.
Please accept my apologies if I overlooked an already existing thread on the subject.
Thanks in advance!
PS - while I doubt that anyone will respond by saying, "why yes, in fact there is this super secret way to activate a second digital assistant on Android, just do X, Y and Z..." I am holding out hope that there's an app or something that one could select as their digital assistant that could perhaps then select from any of the remaining digital assistant options on the device. Do you know of any such app existing out there in the wild?
Thanks again!

Location

Does anyone have a phone locator app from the play store?
Hello and good day, @MRC_MR . Welcome to XDA! I hope you'll always get the support you require.
However, prior to your next posting, if you are posting a Question Thread, please post it in the Q&A forum. If it is a question within a device forum, using the prefix "Question" is comparable if the option is available.
I've moved your thread to General Q&A.
Thanks for your cooperation!
Regards

If you are using an Android device, Google's Find My Device (although I'm pretty sure finding it on https://www.google.com/android/find doesn't require having the app) and I know friends that have Lookout that offer the same functions...
misunderstood the question -- I thought in the context of if it is lost...
Google Maps; You can either share your literal GPS location (latitude & longitude) or share location using a link for a limited or unlimited amount of time....It's what I do/use when needed....
I've heard of Life360 which is very family oriented, but everyone has to be using the app for it to work I imagine....

huh? I'm sorry, I don't understand. Are you asking "And, for example, how are you supposed to do it in [theory] if you were in a forest?"
I've never used Life360, so I can't say, but in Google Maps, you hold any non-street/road location (has to not be a street or road; learned this stupid caveat the hard way that confused me for like 20 minutes figuring out), and either click "share" button or go into the details (raise frame on the bottom), and your GPS location in latitude & longitude will show up in one of the entry details -- even "in the forest" or for any location (I imagine)...
That's how I imagine I would go about it in that circumstance....
