Hi
I have a question with Google Play accounts.
I have a phone with three Google accounts. In this phone all applications have been installed with a Google account that I now want to delete.
If I delete the account with which I installed the applications (in the phone there are still two accounts) the applications are still updated normally?
Especially the applications that I bought with the account I want to delete.
Thanks and best regards
P.D .: Sorry for my bad English.

If you want to be able to update the apps via Google PlayStore, you still need to be signed into the device with a Google account, you can't use PlayStore without an account.
If you want to update the apps without using a Google account, you can update the apps by manually downloading the updated apps from somewhere other than Google PlayStore and then manually install them on the device.

Yes, in the device there are still two google accounts.
But the applications that I have paid with the account I want to delete are still being updated?

Once you delete the account you delete all record that you bought the app and will most likely fail the Google server check as it won't be able to match the email account used to get the app.
You are stuck with the email.

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.

You can use multiply accounts with all apps usable. Open Market go to Settings/Accounts. Make sure you have the account you would like to use set up in Sync Settings

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.
Hello,
as the title suggests I'm after a way to have my new Google account on Play utilize installed.apps.info from an older account. Essentially I'm consolidating all of my Google accounts into one for use on my android machine, and unfortunately I've been installing apps via an account that will be merged and deactivated.
I tried using titanium backup to backup/restore all apps and system data after switching to my sole primary account, and confirming the reinstallation of all apps, but Google Play still shows a blank list of installed apps.
Is this possible at all?
Thanks

Not possible
Does Play cache the downloaded packages somewhere so that I may recycle those from the old account for use with the new by recreating the cache path for use with the new?

Everything is stored by the Google acct. Once u sign in to another Google acct u can still use the apps don't u won't be able to download the paid apps again unless u on the old acct u purchased it from.
Okay. Thanks any way.

one way is to get the Google Play apk and put this in the SD card, then, installed it into your Android Device.
I am also in the hunt for more Android apk too. If you know where to find these apk, please share with us?

You don't need to have the gmail app to setup a google account...
Just go to settings>accounts & sync, and then add google account...

You can use alternative site to download apps, here are some (1mobile market, Aptoide, Slideme Market) you don't have to root your phone to use.
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.

I have this same problem and have not figured out a solution for it. If you've figured out how to fix this, posting the solution would be awesome.

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

I was wondering what this phone came installed with. I haven't bought one yet, but I'm really considering it.
Does this device come installed with Google Play or Google Play Services? Would I be able to install it if I tried (because I'm not against that)? Or can I just install a ROM and get all that with it?
Thanks.
It depends actually on the region the phone was made for. If you buy a Chinese version of the phone, you wont have Google apps installed and you would be able to manually install them ( google contacts sync and play store are the most important ones). Yet, if you bought an international version of the phone, then Google apps will be pre installed by default

I've bought an L02 version of ebay, installed playstore manually, but I can't sync my contacts. Everything else it's no problem, but not the contacts! I've done a bunch of searching with no conclusion. Any ideas?
Your problem is that you are missing the Google contacts sync app. Find it in a google apps package or download it from Huawei app center

And still, I can't add my google contacts. Everytime I try to add an account, the google accounts is not an option, only Cloud, Weibo and facebook show up.
