Multiple Users & App Settings - Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi - I tried searching for my problem on these forums and couldn't find anything so am hoping someone can help.
I bought a Nook HD+ for my mother and have set up her Google Play, Facebook, Gmail and other accounts on her own profile. I have also created a profile for me with the some of the same apps such as Facebook, gmail etc. However when I log into my account the apps still have my mother logged in.
Is there a way to keep the application data separate so when we log in we each see our own set of pre-logged in apps like Facebook. I would prefer not having to log off after every session.
Any help would be appreciated.

[Q] E-mail and the Different Methods of Access

Hi All,
First time poster here. I find these forums to be a great resource and I'm hoping someone can shed light on this seemingly basic understanding issue.
It seems to me there are four different methods of accessing e-mail (five if you count internet) on my stock Samsung Captivate. I've listed them below.
Corporate Account
Google Account
Default Android E-mail Client
Mail App
Internet
How does one go about choosing which method to use? Which ones allow push versus pull? I have multiple e-mail addresses, but not sure which method to utilize to set each one up. I am not yet interested in merging them all in one gmail account.
Is the Google Account the same as using the Gmail App?
What are the max number of Google accounts you can set up. I have two on my phone and am running into issues setting up the third.
Is yahoo capable of being setup on the Corporate account? I found settings to set up Gmail this way. Just wondering if I can do the same for yahoo.
Thanks in advance for your help!

[Q] Market won't let me purchase items

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.

ManualNooter 4.4.27 Calendar Sync Problem

I did do a search for this issue and there are other folks having this issue in the Development Forum, but I can't post on that forum.
Used ManualNooter 4.4.27 for 1.2.0 (worked great by the way! Thanks). I can not figure out how to get my google calendar to sync. I have tried the "add account" again procedure, didn't work. Won't accept a dup. account (never had that popup before).
I have tried deleting my gmail acct in the new NC stock email app. and that didn't help.
Went in to Nook Color Tools, to Manage Apps and cleared defaults and data, didn't help.
Anyone have any idea? Oh yeah when I go to gmail, accounts, account settings and click settings for gmail, under Data & synchronization, syn calendar is not listed. Thanks!
I am having the exact same problem and trying to figure out what to do. Anyone else with the same problem?
I know some other folks have posted the same problem on the developer page, but so far have not read any fixes. If you hear of anything pls let me know.

[q] contacts and facebook syncing

Hi
I have an HTC Heron with Android 2.1. I used to be able to sync and link the ocntacts on my phone with those who appear on Facebook. However, now I can't and it's very annoying. I have tried a few times to remove and reinstall the Android Facebook app but there is no syncing option within the app, although there should be.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Look in (not in the app, but) the system settings -> accounts/ synchronization (or something similar)
Already tried that with no luck.
yeah you need to add facebook, just as above post Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook
If still no joy, there is a way of doing it the phonebook/contacts. There should be a little button to the far right on the same line as the persons names is and you can sync them that way. AFIK their is no way to do multiple persons so its one at a time
fairly simple download and install facebook for android apk from google market, add a facebook account via Settings>Accounts & Sync> Add Account> Facebook, authenticate with your account details, select sync with existing contacts, download and install GO Contacts EX from google market.
This will offer to import facebook and sim accounts, click settings, and merge, select name - you can now merge all the duplicate contacts together
You can also add twitter accounts just add the twitter apk from the market , then follow the above steps
Thanks everyone for your help. I have tried removing and readding HTC Facebook Sense. No luck still. I then backed up my entire phone and did a factory reset - no change though. My Facebook widget did not return and I did still cannot get my Contacts to sync with the Facebook app downloaded from the Market, so I am in the same position as before.
All I want to do is to link some of my contacts who are on Facebook with their Facebook profile as I did before with no extra apps. Until very recently, I had the HTC Facebook widget, the Android Facebook widget and syncing contacts. Suddenly, my HTC Widget has mysteriously gone. I've written to HTC to see what they say.
had this problem recently, tried all the usual advice etc. only thing that worked was fcontactssync. you can uninstall it once you've linked everything.
hope this helps..
Thank you will try this next time. However, the day after I sent this message, weirdly my contacts all synced back again to Facebook! They hadn't done this for weeks! However, I did contact HTC and the Facebook for Android Developmer about my problem so maybe that haed something to do with this working again. Someone else I know haad the same problem which corrected on the same day as me!

[Q] Option to *NOT* Sync Gmail?

I'm running CM9 Nightly (8/8/12). I obviously need to sign into my gmail account in order to use the play store. However, I don't want to sync anything from that account. The reason is that the tablet is shared by the family and I don't want anyone to accidently send e-mail from my account. I also don't want everyone reading my e-mails. After I signed it I went to accounts & sync and turned off syncing with google. However, my e-mail is still in the gmail app. I tried clearing cache and data on the gmail app, but that didn't work either. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Is there any way to avoid this?
Should I create a new gmail account like 'ryanDONTSYNC' in order to have something to log into that doesn't have e-mail / contacts / calendar items?
Thanks,
Ryan
