The apps are linked to your gmail account... even if you change your phone, you can still download those apps..

thanks.
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.
is it possable to copy paid apps to my other phone without paying again for the same app?
thanks
Paid apps should be saved with your Gmail account. You can log on to your Gmail account on both phones at the same time. When you go to the market, push menu, then click on my apps. it should be saved there. If you are trying to pirate apps, you should look elsewhere.
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!
hello!
I have added new google account, removed old google account with which phone was first started&configured since it was new.
Now I have questions:
1. When thief stole my phone and do factory reset from recovery, which account will be needed to sign in (FRP)?
2. I have no apps in play store library, apps which was buyed on old google account are still usable. Is there any way to get all my installed apps into play store library (on new google acc.)
3. I feel that part of my phone still use old google acc. and another part use new account. Am I right?
4. Are any special samsung things to change here? I am asking because samsung have heavily modified android compared to stock.
Thanks for replies.

1) You can test FRP yourself,I think you know this already,The account that the phone was logged into when 1st setting up the phone is the one you'll need to sign-in on a reset.
2) App purchases are not transferable,but,this may help: https://support.google.com/googleplay/answer/7007852?hl=en
3) No way of knowing,a very generic non-specific question. G-Mail has the ability to use several G-mail accounts,guessing you can sign-in to other apps w/various Google accounts,I don't have the need other that the G-Mail app.
4) Use your phone for a while & see what you like & don't like,then use the search function in the Note 9 section for related topics.
The one area I would suggest Googling (& look here & XDA as well) is Note 9 S-Pen Tips & Tricks,or,something to that effect.

Not sure why you want to change everything over to a new account, cause it's a pain in the ass. But here you go:
1. If someone performs an unauthorized factory reset, such as from Recovery or by flashing a firmware through ODIN, it will require the last Google account logged into the phone. Once you remove the first one from your phone, it's no longer on your phone. Whatever Google account you added afterwards or left on it will be the account that looks the device. It's easy to test. Go to accounts and try to remove the current account. You'll get a warning that device protection features will no longer work.
2. As far as using apps paid for from your old Google account. As far as I know, there's no way to transfer them over to a new account. Maybe if you call Google they can do that. Your other option is to log into your old account and set up a family plan and attach your new account. Just make sure you add all your apps on the old account to the family plan.
3. Once you removed your old account under settings, no part of your phone is still using it. It logs you out of that account. What you'll want to do is make sure all your contacts are synced with the new account so you don't lose them.
4. Samsung soes modify Android, but as far as doing anything special for Samsung things you shouldn't have to. Samsung typically keeps Samsung account stuff separate from Google account stuff. Now with Pie, you'll be able to log into your Samsung account using your Google account so you may want to associate your new Google account with your current Samsung account. That's probably done in your Samsung account profile settings, though I'm not really sure.
it's because I have a lot of VPN's and app data configured, it will take days to set all things again. or is there any way to backup all data and then restore it after resetting phone with new google account set?
so far as I know, some data is stored in secured partition where I don't have access, not even google
