So for some reason I get a server error when I buy apps now. My main Gmail on my phone is my schools email an which all my already purchased apps are tied too. I believe its because I can't use my school email anymore with Google checkout. Is my only option to create a new gmail an start over? I can log into android market on the computer with my school Gmail, an install apps. But if I try to buy one it just sits there loading.
So basically I can only have Google checkout with my alternate gmail but that's not my primary gmail. Any suggestions?

have you tried logging into the market directly on your computer and not your phone?
Yeah I can log into the market on my computer. What do you mean and not on my phone?

meaning can you select an app on your pc and get to the market from it (as opposed to doing it on your phone).
dunno, try clearing cache, data, etc on the phone and restart the market.
appbrain has an app on the market as well that lets you access your market account. appbrain is just a thin wrapper on top of the normal market (so it's not a separate one). Maybe that would work.
Yeah I can install free apps fine. But apps that cost, ill select my app an then it just goes to a loading screen an sits there. I tried deleting data from market an no go. I think it doesn't work because my my main gmail account on my phone is in compatible with Google checkout. I wish I.could go back to where I can manually enter my credit card info when purchasing apps from my phone.

I know there's an option in google business/education accounts just from using them that allows you to convert it to a normal google account. I can't remember if it's an admin or user setting offhand though. I think it's under https://www.google.com/accounts/b/1/ManageAccount
Is it something under personal settings?

If the link didn't work, then it must be am admin option only. I have admin access to the account/domain I checked. I can take a screen shot when I get home later.
The link you provided worked, I just don't know where to go from there.
Try turning in multiple sign in, I think that forces it to be a normal google account.
No go, unless there's something else should be doing. All I did was turn it on an check the boxes. I turned it on for my .edu account(primary) an also for my gmail(secondary) .

Hmm. I am out of options right now. I would contact google and see what they can do about not being able to access your applications if you are unable to that you paid for and/or porting them to another account.
Okay, I may just contact the couple devs for the paid apps that I really use an see if they can refund me when I bring them over to my other account. Thanks for the help and ideas.

Finally google has kicked in, now it doesnt allow people without gmail email address to access the market place. Probably this is due to updates that it brought arround to provide paid apps.
Why should one need to be google binded to use free andorid apps available on market place? For me as of now I cannot access the market place. It says i need to have gmail account. Where as I am using google hosted domain app services and using primary email as [email protected]
Any work arround?
Use gmail as secondary account....
Its googles market and google makes the terms. If you cant accept them, dont use it then. there is plenty of other ways to get apps

All Google apps accounts are being "upgraded" so that you can use them for things like Reader, Blogger, Youtube and of course Market.
If you are the apps administrator then you will have been sent am email by Google offering you the option of an early upgrade unless you have opted out of mailings!
If not, then sit tight and it will be with you soon. Failing that, just set up a secondary Google account for Market.
I am applied for transition, i hope this solves the issue.
Hey guys.
So something iv'e noticed on my photon. I have two gmail accounts connected to my phone (one primary and one that just syncs mail)
Whenever the market tells me i have updates, i click the notification and the market opens with my second account active and just shows google apps under "installed apps" with no updates.
to fix this i have to click menu > accounts and change to my primary gmail address then all is good, it shows all my apps and any updates i need.
this happen to anyone else?
Yep. That is a feature, if you have one address for work let's say, and one for personal use. Your boss needs you to have certain apps linked to your work account, (free and purchased), but tells you not to link them to your personal account, (because the company credit card can only be linked to your work account for purchasing apps.) It is a feature. Don't fret.

I don't think u understand the OP's question or maybe it's the way it was typed.
I have this same issue, not a feature but a bug.
It switched from ur primary account to the secondary account without ever notifying the user. U have to manually switch it back whenever you launch the market which is very annoying. Anyone figured out how to make it stop doing that?

Thanks for clearifying that. I now understand that this is a bug. Sorry for the confusion.
have been trying all day today to write my contacts to the phone, but it seems that this becomes impossible once one makes the mistake of adding a google, hotmail or any other account to the phone...
am I write in thinking that if I want to write my contacts to the phone I will not be able to check my google and hotmail email accounts on the phone?
it really sucks, my desire S did not have this bug
and system update not possible without Motorola ID/account whatever it wants...
WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's wrong with keeping your contacts on your Google account?

hi, this is a bit off topic, but I can explain:
I would like to keep my contacts (and info related to them) on devices owned by me.
I DO NOT like how I am "pushed" to use google (or any other account) for keeping my contacts on.
I like to have a choice, at the moment I choose off-line storage on my PC and my phone.
Can it be done like in good old days?
You can just put the contacts on your phone under your Google account and just turn off the sync for the contacts. It will still be on a Google account but it will offline. That's the only option I can think of.

+, you can then delete those contacts from your Google account afterwards if you don't want to store them online after getting them onto the phone.

thank you guys - that seems to be a solution.
Just to make sure I understand correctly:
1. link my phone to my gmail
2. go to settings->accounts->gmail and untick sync contacts, sync email, sync calendar
is this correct?
will it work?
I am factory resetting my phone for a third time already so apologies for asking SO many questions, but I want to make it write this time
Yeah just sign into your account and it will ask you what you want to sync. Just keep anything unchecked for what you don't want to sync.

Is there any way I can use my normal email acct to sign in(Yahoo)? I want to access my favorite videos from my phone but it can only use a google acct. Should I just re make my favorites under my gmail?

I tried pressing Menu button, signing out, then signing in using Add Account, but I could not use my Yahoo account either. Posting in here to see if you someone does eventually figure it out. But for now, I do not think there is a way

If you were using Yahoo email id to sign into YouTube, it means this Yahoo email is attached with Google Account.
1. Add a Google from Account and Sync. Login with Yahoo one.
2. Clear Data of YouTube app from Settings.
3. Launch YouTube app and try sign in. It'll present a list of Google Accounts. Choose Yahoo one. Done!
I have two Google accounts that I use on my phone. One is just used for purchases and the other is for a personal email. So my issue is I bought this app to unlock the full version under one account, the one I use for my purchases, but to do this I had to remove my personal email account. After adding that account back, the app tries to use the Google play account I just use for email and says that I need to purchase the app to unlock the full version. Anybody have any idea how to fix this without permanently removing one account?

Why not just remove the email account from the phone and use the paid account for your phone, launch the Gmail app and then add the email account. That will pretty much do what you're wanting.

After readding the account it asks me to repurchase my iap. Somehow it defaults back to the other account as the default and since I purchased it on the other account it doesn't verify that I've bought it.
So far I've viewed a few threads with similar issues, but no solutions. I've found one, but it requires root. Remove the account, buy the app, make a tib, add the account, and then restore the tib
I don't use the Gmail app anyways, but I have had some past purchases on my other account that always end up having the apps trial period expire and say I don't own the app.

It sounds like you need to delete both accounts, along with the purchased apps and then only add the account you buy apps pin back to the phone and reinstall your apps. You should probably clear all Play Store and Google Services Framework data.
Then if you want the email back add it in only the Gmail app.

Yeah, but like I said I keep having issues with power amp when I do it that way since I bought that a long time ago on my old DROID on that account. It keeps defaulting back to trial. I think this case is unique since it was an iap. Every time I add that account back it gets reattached since I initially downloaded off the dummy account. When I couldn't get the account to change for the purchase, I deleted my dummy Gmail account and bought it. I guess I could just cough up money and buy power amp again lol.

Well the way I understand is you are adding them both to the phone instead of just adding one to the phone and then going in Gmail and adding the email account there.
If I am wrong maybe you need to contact Google and explain the issue and see if they have a fix.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
Yeah, but what I'm saying is I need both added otherwise power amp always results back to the trial app stating they can't verify my license. Anyways, the tib method worked for me.
