Somehow, over the past year or so, I managed to get a few apps associated with my school gmail account and now to update those apps I must go in and manually switch market accounts. Is there a way to merge these apps into my main account?
You could try uninstalling the apps, unsyncing with the school gmail, downloading the apps with your normal gmail, then resyncing with your school gmail. That may work
If you're rooted and have titanium backup you might be able to run the market doctor and have all links fixed to your active account. I think you're out of luck if it is paid apps though.

Hi All-
I've run into an issue with the Market that I haven't been able to find in the various market oriented threads here.
I rooted yesterday using auto-neuter 12.25 & everything worked great. I can youtube, I have my google apps email account syncing, I can download free apps from the market, etc. Angry birds is a real treat on the Nook color!
My problem is with trying to purchase paid apps from the market. Like many report successfully doing here, I want to get Titanium Backup pro & use it to backup the nook to a dropbox account. When I try to purchase from the android market, I am told to enter/create a gmail account vs using the existing gmail apps account. I have tried re-entering the google apps account data, but I seem to end up in and endless loop where it asked for the credentials, I supply them, it accepts them, and then brings me back to asking for credentials.
Does anyone have any insight into this problem??
It is my understanding you should use an actual gmail.com account for the primary account on android devices. This is probably the source of your issue.
My Hero has been rooted since August, for the first couple of months after I rooted it I was flashing a new ROM everyday, just to find one I really liked.
Well for the last few months I've been using ASOP 9.7 and this theme, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=833504 I've tried to flash newer versions of ASOP a few times but none of them worked for me without a ton of FC's so I finally just gave up and have been happy with the theme and 9.7 but now I want to try something new, namely one of these, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731659
My question is, I want to be able to sync all my contact with my Google account and my Gmail but I DO NOT want all my apps restored, I'd like to start over fresh in the apps department. It seems like with every 2.2 ROM I've tried it automatically restores my apps but I don't want it to, how can I keep this from happening?
Your Gmail and google contacts (not phone contacts) are always synced online. Your other email (non-gmail) is not synced, unless you are using IMAP. So, once you change the ROM and login into your google account, everything's (gmail/google contacts) restored.

I'm not worried about GMail and Contacts, those restore and I want them too, I just want to know if there is a way to keep all the apps from restoring.
Go to Settings, Privacy, uncheck Back up my data.
Another option. After you flash a new rom, and you are going thru setup, on the screen where you initially sign in to google, hit menu, disable restore.

Evening all,
*sigh - i wish google would update their gtalk so that it had multiple logins like gmail app* Currently using Beejive but would like to use the built in gtalk app.
Ive researched around and looks like the only course of action is to system wipe my sgs so that i can login into gtalk using a different gmail account (corporate gmail (setup after i bought the phone)
I installed JVO last night and have root and CWM installed. Also titanium.
Last night flashed gtalk v1.3 but still no multiple login. Apparently the option is out on tablet firmware.
All contacts are saved on gmail account (personal gmail) ready to restore at 1st boot. But not sure i can restore them from a secondary account?!
What is the best course of action so that i dont loose everything/something/?
Thanks for any advice.
All fixed.
Root access to /data/system/
and renamed accounts.db to accounts.db.bk
Reboot sgs and market, gtalk and gmail asks for login, used coporate account and still got all personal numbers on phone as no need for factory reset. And of course all apps are still avaliable.
A very happy boy!
And with no root....?
Any way of doing this without root? Perhaps using adb?
Jrhoop I've been searching online for a solution for 3 days... your a lifesaver!
I'm used to using ROMs that don't support backup assistant on my phone so I'm not sure about this.
I would like my Market account to be my Gmail account, not my backup assistant or whatever.
When i first started the phone, I skipped all backup assistant things and added my Gmail. But when i go to Accounts, it still locked with backup assistant.
I need it to be my Gmail account to get all my paid apps.
Do you mean when you go into menu>settings>accounts, you still see the backup assistant account with a lock on it? b/c in the stock ROM, you can't get rid of the account. you can not set it up and it won't do anything, but it's like the stupid VZW bookmarks in the browser or the VZW contacts on your contact list - you can't get rid of them, but you can ignore them.
You should still be able to set up your gmail account; as far as I know, the android market requires a google account. It won't use any other accounts, e.g. facebook, backup assist, etc. Happy to help more if that doesn't answer your question.

Well I know for a fact that the market isnt reading from my google account because it still says I have to pay for the apps i've already paid for.
I would get another ROM but BigDX's theme is only for stock
I'm too lazy to add the PNGs to the new ROM myself...lol
Umm.. You have to use a Google account for the market. Backup assistant is only related to your account info with verizon (ie. your phone #). If your market isn't showing your apps you are logged in with the wrong google account, OR, the apps you had downloaded are not the same apps capable of working on your new device. For example, there are games like Fruit Ninja that have a TegraHD only version that will only show up on Tegra phones, 2 different apps entirely that effectively are the same.
Thanks, i fixed it. I had to delete the account that didnt have my apps on it, clear market then reload it so it only had 1 google account to choose from (i have 2 on my device), the re-add the gogle account that didnt have apps.

In the future, while in the market, you should be able to go to menu>accounts and select the correct account, without deleting/re-adding your accounts.
Glad I could help!
I'd like to change the e-mail address I use to log into the market/play store. I created the account a long time ago, and have since began using a different gmail account as my primary email, so I'd like to be able to change it if possible. The thing is, I want to keep the contacts and purchased apps currently synced with my old account under the new address. Does anyone know if I can do this?
hmmmmmmmmmmmm
You can have more than one account and set up what you want to sync with each account so I'd just use both. I have several accounts. I sync mail on all and only sync contacts, calendar etc with one.
Not sure you will be able to do it any other way. But maybe someone else can help.

I think isn't possible to port market link from one account to another; maybe to only solution is to make a titanium backup of your data and try to restore after changing the account.
If you have TB pro you can try also to restore missing links of the paid apps you have.
If it don't work you don't lost anything 'cause you are working on an new "empty" account.
So :
- Make a TB backup of all your data and apps
- Remove your Google account
- Add your new account
- Restore data and apps
It should work.
Yeah there are ways around the fact, TB and syncing different accounts. Just wondering if there was an easier solution than I know
I'll just sync a couple accounts and make do.
