I just got my note yesterday and its great, I first installed Amazon appstore (I just googled it and downloaded it) it installed fine but tells me my email or password is incorrect. I know my email is right and I changed my password like 3 times using the "forgot password" tab. Each time I received a "password changed " popup....but I still can't log in, and I can't get back my free apps of the day. Any ideas?

First try logging into your account via a PC\Mac to be sure of your user name and password. (Not trying to say you don't know what they are but this way it removes any question.) Go to phone and in Manage Apps clear the cache for Amazon Appstore. Try to log in now that you are sure of your credentials.
Also delete any registered devices you have in your Amazon devices your not using.

dont know if this will help at all but i have two diff emails i guess set up two diff accounts , any how i have to go back and forth betwean the two accounts some times one will let me buy apps some times the other will let me buy apps
when you in the adroid market , go to setting and it say manage accounts . then if you have two diff accounts switch between them and see if that helps ,,
i may be way off or may not even know what im talking about but i try
good luck
I just don't get it. I've tried all 3 of my emails address, 2 of which are yahoo accounts. The only one that worked was my second yahoo account but its not fully set up...if I try and download today's free app it brings me to a page to finish registration (credit card info etc) the email address It should be allows me to log into the regular Amazon website (even from phones browser) but it doesnt work for Amazon appstore. I've cleared data, deleted and reinstalled, reset password several time...i just had a thought as I was typing this, since the note didn't come with a sdcard I used one of my 2 16 GB cards one is from my infuse (the last phone I used with Amazon) and an other 16 from a different phone. I know that the one that's in my note isn't the one from my last phone (with working Amazon) I wonder if I swap cards if it'll work?

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?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA App
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.

I got a 10.1 tab last night and it's great. I have one issue maybe you can help me with regarding the market and apps. My wife and I both have android phones and we are sharing the tablet. When I set it up and put in our email addys I went into the market and it was downloading all of the app we have on our phones. Cool feature if I'm replacing my phone, but not for a shared device that I don't need to be identical to our phones. Is there a way to not make it do this? The thought I have is to create a dummy account for both of us but then it seems like it will be weird to use gmail app and stuff like that.
Thanks!
wait what?
Are both you using the same Google Account?
No shared accounts. I put in both of our gmails under, settings then accounts. Now we can switch between the 2 accounts in the gmail app but I hate that the market downloaded each of our phone apps.
It's because there is a setting when you first ran the market or setup your gmail on the tablet. It's the option where you allow Google to download previously purchased apps off the market and because your phone uses the same account, Google assumes you want the same apps, if the app is compatible with tablet. Remember purchase can be paid or free apps. It won't sync again like that after the first time unless you decide to reformat and you don't uncheck that box again.
Hi, we'll this blows. The other day I noticed my main yahoo email got a spam from MY Gmail that was created when I got the phone.
I tried to post on the contact google group "gmail" and it said I couldn't post (I was logged in with my gmail).
Now today I pick up my phone and it says I've entered a wrong password for my gmail when I turn on wifi (I've never had to sign in since I've got the phone cause it stays signed in -cept when I changed a rom sometimes) So it's notified in task bar and a screen pop up for signing in.
So I enter my password (and try some others; no good. Can't open market either, and my wifi is grayed out (usually turns blue when it's fully connected)
I'd submit a screen shot but the forum says I have incorrect JPEG file extension and failed to connect to the forum. Total fails this morning. Whoop De do
Only thing I've used the gmail for recently was tapjoy ads for in game stuff... Bout the same time I got the spam email.
EDIT I just changed my password through gmail, and the problem persists. I can't access google voice either. Rebooted the phone too. I also installed entropy_dd 03072012 last night on unnamed 2.2.1 with uckh7

Well I would say try to see if you can reset your password again, and set up 2 step verification because it sounds like the tapjoy ads is malware and got your password via the ads. I had my gmail hacked almost 7 months ago and I had set up 2 step verification and have not had any issues yet *just a pita trying to remember the 2 step passwords*.
HTH,
Charlie
I already had 2 step verification - I clicked it and it said to enter my phone number for sms and a secondary email for password retrieval. Both were already filled/submitted
Edit I tried to sign in with the new password and it wouldn't let me. So I tried to change it a second time and it told me I had to wait 3-5 days.
Why is google being so ***
I can't even contact them

Some how I got to change my password a third time and logging in finally worked. Apparently my email was hijacked even though I had the 2 step verification. My Gmail sent some sort of spam (dunno what it is) to everyone on my contacts list.
It all sent Apr 30th. What can I do to stop this? I believe this was caused by a tapjoy ad as its the only thing I've input my gmail into since I don't use it besides google products like Voice and Market/play store

Lesson? Don't give important information to 3rd party software unless you are 100% sure about them.

Hey jerk, my gmail was auto input into a tapjoy ad, not my personal info. No lesson learned, cause I've never heard of a tapjoy ad doing this before. I thought they were legit- unless it was SwiftKey beta 3 logging my info. Those are the only 2 things that've seen my gmail address. NOT even my password (since it's-was- always logged in)

Dude. Calm down. I never said anything negative about u. Just good practice to only give trusted apps your info. And obviously use common sense in which appz u install.

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.

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.
I just recently upgraded my phone to cm12 lollipop and after reinstalling all my apps, I discovered that Go SMS Pro had lost the premium features that I purchased last year. While waiting for a response from their support, I figured out the issue - I have 2 google accounts on my phone, and while I did connect it to the correct account when it asked which account to use, it still was associating to the wrong one. You can see which account its associating with (if you don't have premium features) when you go to re-purchase the premium features. Before paying, it'll confirm payment option and lists the email address for the google account you will be paying from. Once you see it, you can back out without paying...
To fix it, I had to remove the incorrect google account from my phone in Settings -> Accounts -> Google and then make Go SMS recheck for premium features purchase. A reboot might do this, but I didn't do that so I don't know. Uninstalling/reinstalling Go SMS might do it as well, but again I didn't do that so I don't know. What I did was opened Go SMS and then went to Settings ->Ad Block. Then selected the exact same package I already purchased and then clicked the pruchase button. This forced Go SMS to check the only remaining google account on my phone for purchase options, which is when it saw that it was already purchased and simply activated my premium features. It never asked for payment method or confirmation, and a charge never hit my account (besides the original one from a year ago). After the premium features were activated I added the other google account back on. In the future, I'll probably wait for go sms to be installed and used before putting the second account on my phone.
Hopefully this will help someone else out, since it seems from a google search that people aren't getting support from the Go SMS dev team on losing their premium features.
