multiple Nooks using one gmail account?

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?
Rodney

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.

[Q] Droid 3 Gmail Phone loading 29k emails

My new droid 3 is bringing in ALL of my gmail. This phone was just turned on a few hours ago and it has brought in the history of my gmail account, 29, 311 emails.
I see no way to "delete all"
I would like to know if I can delete all of them for I surely do not need many years of email on my new phone.
Is there a way to pick and choose who I want emails to come from to load on phone?
My gmail has been set up for years to come into my computers Windows Mail.
I understand on Gmail site as well as my computers windows mail that I can make folders for mail to dump into.
But even it would have placed all this mail into folders I would still have to clean
them out.
I only wanted it to bring in the mail from today....forward

Log into gmail via the web, hit the top checkmark box (not in your email, but above it in the toolbar looking thing). A bar directly below will pop up saying all 50 mails have been selected; next to that there is a link that will select every email/conversation, click it; now you can hit the toolbar archive/delete/move and everything will go with it.
Cheers,

If I was to do this while logged into gmail.com then it would delete my gmail history. I am not wanting to delete from the server itself, just off my phone. So point being I got the phone yesterday and it brought in the email from many years. Silly!
How can I get all this email off my phone is the question and just have current stuff coming in?

I was under the impression that the Gmail app only synced the last 4 days by default. You can change the sync settings by going into the settings menu and selecting your gmail account and then go to sync inboxes and labels.
Seriously though, 29k emails in your inbox!?! Hate to say it but you really should use some labels and clean out that inbox.

29k emails sitting on a server is nothing. It has a search area. why would I bother with that ..they are just sitting there, and I don't read online. I understand they were supposed to sync last 4 days. that is the point. Why do I have so many, and how do I repair this as sync is not working, nor was it with my first droid.
Also it brought in contacts etc that I deleted 2 years ago, after I got rid of first droid! How did it remember that. argh

How do you respond to calendar invites?

I know I have to be missing something b/c this doesn't make any sense at all. Basically to ask this simply, when I get a calendar invite in Gmail (doesn't matter if it's a Google Calendar invite or from Outlook), it comes with a .ics attachment that my phone can't open. How do you guys respond yes, no, or maybe when you receive calendar invites?! Thanks.

Really? I'm the only htc one owner that receives calendar invites?

In the Gmail app the calendar invite has yes, no, maybe links, just click one.
In email app (Outlook account) there is an invite tab on the message with selections.

When you click on the yes, no, or maybe it opens a web browser. That's not the type of solution I'm looking for.

how to read gmail messages on your gear?

I believe you can add your gmail account to the stock email app so gmail will show up on the watch but do incoming gmail have the push feature in the stock app?
Thanks

What is the name of the stock email app, trying to get step by step instructions to this.

The stock app auto-configures Gmail as "push." I'm guessing it's IMAP behind the scenes and it only applies to e-mail, not tasks or the calendar.

Try this, it is working for me for Hotmail.com and Gmail.com accounts.
1- Went to Stock email app(looks like a white envelope with @ symbol in middle.
2- Created hotmail.com account(dont go through manual process of setting account) and selected "push" for sending emails to Note/Gear. Put your email address and password, follow the steps and you are done.
3- Create gmail.com account and do the same as step #2.
4- Go in your Note to Settings-General-Accounts. Select the Google account and hit enter, Uncheck box by Sync Gmail.
This is how I have it set up and Hotmail as well as gmail emails are coming into the Note and Gear.
Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I am getting proper notifications for Gmail account by pushing the mails to the stock Email app also.
It's working very nicely.

If you set up Gmail in the stock email app, can you still use the Gmail app to read and rely on the phone?
I like the Gmail app as it is seamless between phone and laptop in terms of marking as read, sorting into folders etc.

Yes you can still use the gmail app on the phone just fine.

my email notification is not working as well. tried wit imap and pop but it's not showing

guys anyone here with a working email notification?

You need to enable the pop3 support in the Gmail settings page first before adding the Gmail account to the stock Email app.

Can't get this working either, no notifications from stock email app with my 2 gmail accounts. Notifications are set for stock email and accounts seem to be pulling mail down so not sure why my gear isn't telling me I have mail

You need to use stock email app and when you get to a screen about server, there is a drp down option and select push. You need to also go in your ear app and in setting, there is a section for choosing which apps to send to Gear. Select stock email app, send yourself a test email and should work.

That's exactly what I did, no notifications though

See post above me. Make sure you DO NOT choose MANUAL in the stock email app when setting the gmail account choose the option to the right of that for the system to do it all for you. In the next page I believe is where the drop down option at the top is to select PUSH.
If you like, send me a pm with your phone number and I can call you when you want. I think that will be easier than trying to go back and forth with emails.

Yes, in the PC browser, go to your Gmail page and then to Settings.
There you will see tab menus on the top. Choose Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab.
Then, you will see the option to enable POP.
After that, you can just add an account in the stock email app to deliver Gmails with the option of "push" delivery automatically.

Weird as I did not have to touch my MAC to get the emails from Gmail to work with my Gear. All I did was set up the account in the stock email app, select the auto set up, select PUSH in the next setting screen and voila, emails coming to the Gear. I did have to go into the Gear app setting and check the email app to send notifications to the Gear.
All is well in my world and hope we can help one another get their emails and texts going.
Want to remind everyone that only the stock text and email apps are allowed to send info to the gear. If you are using something else, you may get the notification but, nothing else. You will then have to go into the phone to view the text or email.

Hy
I've had the same issue, no notification at all, i've tried everything, but now solved it.
Everytime i've sent e "test-mail", my phone (galaxy note 2) was not in sleeping mode. As i gave up trying, suddenly my Gear was pushing a new mail that came in.
So for me, it only works when the phone is not awake (what makes sense in my opinion). Hope that helps someone others problem too.
Good luck.

That makes sense to me. I don't want the notifications to clog up my watch if I am already looking at the phone.
That only wastes the battery life of the watch. Smart!

Note 8 Findmyphone

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 i did not add those by going into setting/accounts. I added my work from gmail or google drive apps only. They automatically start showing into settings/accounts!

As i already told you. I didnt add my work account from setting/accounts, instead i added it straight from gmail app.
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?
Sensing a bit of attitude from you so good luck to you. Hopefully someone else will be happy to help you.

No worries.
No idea on the google drive issue. I've never used it so not sure.
