So I have one and I bought one for my brother and sister, and I've set them up with my gmail account. Everything works great, rooted it and all done.
So my question is, how can I prevent them from accessing my gmail account and prevent them from making purchases on the Market.
FYI, this gmail account is also synced to my phone which it automatically defaults to my Tmobile account for payment.
**UPDATE**
Figured out the market payment thing, just go to checkout.google.com and deleted my payment methods. Haven't figured the gmail thing out though yet.

Why don't you have them use their own gmail accounts now?
Aye, not sure why not just use their gmail accounts, if they don't have one, it's easy enough to create one surely?
they are actually under the age of 10, so my parents don't want them to have email access yet.
I found a way to do it by blocking Gmail completely using App Protector, which requires a password to access apps that you have blocked on your system.
This will work for now.
In the opposite direction, is it possible to have two separate gmail accounts on the same device?

Can you elaborate on how one might set that up?

In the settings of the application you can put in multiple email accounts.
Poke around the options section, it should be readily apparent.
multiple accounts I believe was supported in 2.1+ but I may be wrong.
I have like 3-4 gmail accounts for my own on my phone.
Reason why my bro/sis are getting nooks is to encourage them in reading.
It's a really useful device for kids, reading, music, internet, games and etc.

Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Google
I would recommend that you set up email accounts for each of them, but don't set up the email on their nooks, just on yours. That way, you can purchase age appropriate books for each, but only you are on the email.

No, the phone and gmail app are tied to one account. However, you could always access additional gmail accounts through the phones web browser.
To sign in to another gmail account; you would have to wipe your phone to factory defaults and when prompted, enter the new gmail address.
You cannot have two Gmail accounts on the phone, mainly because it'll cause conflicts with the Market application and also when syncing.

I stand corrected. Thanks guys.
I tried the method of settings- applications - clear the date from all google related apps - this but it doesn't work.
Changed also the gmail password so the SGS can't log in... Doesn't work.
Whatever I do - I get a red triangle in the top left corner asking for my google password.
Any ideas?
Frankyl - its disappointing that a user needs to go into so much trouble to change an email...
just go into Seetings > Accounts & Sync
then you can Add new accounts or Edit exisiting accounts

If you are trying to edit the main account that you signed in with first.. Basically NO! Tried it myself as I couldn't choose which google chat account it signed with as I have 2. Had to factory reset and enter the 2 accounts in the right order first being the one that had all my calendar detail and my google chat account that had all my contacts in.
that doesn't sounds quite right, i'm able to delete/edit/add any account listed in the Accounts & Sync page in settings

When you click edit it only lets you change the sync options for that account... but say like me you have 2 gmail accounts and you link them both the first one will sync your calendar the second account will then not give you the option to sync the calendar... also only then lets you sign into things like market place and google chat with the first account ... with no available option to switch accounts... I spoke to samsung and they said the same you must delete the head account (very first account used to access market place or activate anything on the handset). and to do anything other than adjust the sync settings you must factory reset it even tells you that if you try to delete the account!! try it!!
i'm sync-ing calendar with 2 Gmail account 1 for work 1 for personal
each of them have its own sets of contacts and calendars, they each one show up in different colour.
on the personal gmail account i event sync the picasa web album
then on top of that i also sync my yahoo account calendar and contacts, as well as my MSN
but MSN can only sync contacts no calendar option for in hotmail/live accounts
my twitter account can only sync contacts as well
but facebook account can sync both calendar and contacts
and emails also sync across gmails/yahoo/msn accounts
as well as the IM for gtalk/yahoo/msn
Are you using something other than the stock android calendar because with mine whatever gmail account I signed in first with I had option for sync on the calendar but the second only contacts and gmail.... but with regards to mine, I also had to do it as all my card details were linked to the second account and I didn't want them linked to the other! therefor I had to for the purposes of buying paid apps, by accessing the market place with the other account..... and there is no way of switching accounts for that!
i'm using the Samsung Apps (email, calendar, IM) that came with the phone
it's quite good, better than i expected
in the calendar each of my accounts have its own colour, so i know which Calendar entry comes from which Sync Account
this is like sooooooooo much better than what i used to have in Palm, Blackberry or Windows Mobile, those 3 are horrible, it was very difficult to have personal + work account in the same phone
but with Android, it's like a dream come true, everything is detailed to its own account, but all visible in 1 calendar
maybe you guys need to upgrade to the latest

Yeah as I said even if people dont beleive me... other than being able to edit the sync settings of the head account... There is no way of physically changing what the head account is or change the address of the head account. Yes you can add others but they will never become the head account. As I said had to reset mine to change it too.

This is my experience also. The first entered Gmail account is the only fully functional one the others have limited sync. Many hours and concluded reset is the only fix. Now I will have to repurchase some apps because the Market only talks to the first email account!!!! At least apple allows these basic changes. People have been complaining about this for ages when will google listen? I brought an Android device over Apple iPhone because I hated the lock in Apple does and needing iTunes for everything but find the Android is worse for useability. The only gain over iPhone so far is the Samsung has a bigger display and easier to type or swype. Maybe I am missing something and Android is better but not convinced at all at the moment. Unfortunatly you only find out after owning a device for a few weeks the limitations.

No I think they want to sign out/sign in on the device.
i.e. if we give our nooks to someone to borrow, don't want them going through our email, just sign out of it, not uninstall gmail.
You probably have to remove the account or you could disable sync if you just don't want to receive mail.

Yeah as far as I can tell, the only way is to remove the account.
Disabling sync wouldn't really work since someone could just go back into settings and re-enable sync.
What I did was to go into settings -> applications ->manage applications, under the All tab go to gmail application and clear data and cache.
Every time you want to access your mail, you'll have to sync/refresh your account.
Anyone having issues with the Android market switching default accounts for the market to the first one in alphabetical order? I have three accounts on my N1, let's call them john, mary and pete. When I first logged in to the phone (after a clean install), I used pete to sign in on the first screen. I then added the mary and john accounts. Now, more recently, when I open the market, it defaults to john, and not pete. I know others are have the issue in other devices (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1283644)
Anyone know of a fix?
Mine has been having similar issues, but on mine, it isn't being done alphabetically. In fact, the email address is located in the middle of my accounts, and the name of the account the furthest from the beginning of the alphabet.
No clue on how to fix it

Yeah I have been having the same issues. I now have two applications tied to my secondary account and it is very annoying. :/
Seems to keep switching to the most recently added account...
Having the same issues, it also asks me to install an app I already have under my main account. This is stupid
It's a bug in the new market. My LG G2X is doing that also. Only happens when I click on updates found in the notification bar. Very annoying.
Hmm, mine stays on the first-added Google account even after later adding two more Google accounts to the phone. You guys running stock ROMs? I'm on CM7...

That is impressive fanz... Not sure I want to know how you are managing that
Mine has been hit and miss. It started auto-updating apps for my secondary account (which I never had tied to the market) one day, and now I can't get those apps to update under my main account. I am about to completely remove that secondary account, because it is really annoying.

F*ing Swype.
Not sure if this solved the problem but it hasn't done it since I did this.
-Use Titanium backup and wipe Market data.
-Settinngs> Account & sync> delete the account you DON'T want market to use. (if more than one delete them all) leave only the account you want to use for Market.
-Now open Market and accept the terms
-back to Account & sync and add back the google account(s) you deleted.
-Remember now in Market NEVER to select any Google account you don't want it to use. Because once you click on another account you'll be ask to accept the terms.
If you choose yes you just authorized another market account, if you choose no market will close but next time you open market you'll get the box asking to accept t&c of the other google account

I have tried this or some variation and it kind of works, but market still notifies you to update apps from other accounts! When you click the notification you get the agreement box and you can't exit!
Hello people,
I have multiple google email accounts signed in from my device. 1 of them is personal (which is also the account I signed in to my android phone) and rest of them are work email accounts (which are shared among my colleagues). Now, all of them are signed in my phone. I have recently discovered that find my phone service can be used from any of those accounts. Which in my case is absolutely unwanted because that means my colleagues can search my location anytime they want. I want findmyphone service to accessible from only one account that i chose from. I would choose my personal account to have access to findmyphone service as this would protect my privacy. Kindly assist on how to do it.
Thanks in advance
Guys this is a serious issue, and im sure there will be a lot of people leaking there location unknowingly to their colleagues or people they share common email accounts with! Kindly come up to resolve this.
If your work google accounts can access your find phone features then you have it set up wrong. Go to Setting/Accounts. You do not want your work accounts logged in there as they are logged into your phone. Delete them from Accounts. Instead you should be setting up the work accounts through your Gmail or Email apps as IMAP or POP accounts depending on which you prefer.

But as soon as i add any google account from any respective app, (gmail or google drive) the same account starts showing up in settings/accounts!
Please let me know if im not clear!
Yeah I got that. As I suggested, log out of those accounts & set them up as either IMAP or POP email accounts. You can do this either through accounts or the email app. Is that not clear?
