For example --
I paid for and downloaded TBP (Titanium Backup Pro) from online droid market to my phone.
I was going to pay for two more installs to wife and sons phone but came across Titanium Backup Wiki's Q&A on licensing:
Q. May I use the PRO license key on several phones ?
A. Yes, as long as these phones are linked to the Google account on which you purchased the PRO license key.

Assuming "Google account" is synonymous with "gmail account", my wife, son and I have separate ones for personal contacts, emails, etc.
So won't my contacts, emails, etc. automatically synch to their phones once I link them to my Google account for TBP download and install? And if so, is their a way to prevent this?
Thanks for any guidance.
Anyone who can provide some guidance would be much appreciated.
Also, is this an appropriate question for this type of board, and have I posted in the appropriate forum?
You can add your acount to their devices and then in settings, go to accounts, and tap your email, and de-select the sync with contacts, mails, calendar, etc...
I dont know if it works, but let us now how it goes...
I agree with sotodebonk, that's probably the way to do it. Make sure you add your account first, for example on first boot or when market asks for it, then deselect all sync for your acc and then add theirs, and make sure all syncing is on for their accs

Android devices support multiple Google account. Login on their devices as well and you can download the app on their devices.
Just for the hell of it though, you should make a family Google Account for Market purchases.
I am up to purchasing the Galaxy Tab 10.1 but I see that no clear solution is available to below.
Here is my question in order to sure about what is going on:
Is there any simple way to import and/or sync outlook (mail,contacts,calendar etc) with android phone and/or tablet?
e.g:In my outlook I can export -as back up- all above (mail,contacts,calendar etc) in a pst file. Can i import same to android phone and/or tablet? without using anything like Google account, exchange server etc?
This i am telling since my mail, is a company mail account so -as I am sure you understand- i cannot have company mails out on the net.
ps:I am from Greece and i hope my writing is understandable
It's very understandable, you just need a google account only for the sake of the Market and apps and everything, but im sure you can import your contacts. I really don't know if you can use company mail as a solution for Market but all Android tab's require a gmail dummy account to track market. The stock Email client I think can import, not sure in pst file. Id love to try it but I stopped using Outlook for 2 years now and I don't have any pst file lying around
Two solutions
Hi,
There are 2 ways to solve this:
1) Define a corporate account on your android phone with your Company's exchave server settings. This will allow you to sync all your emails, contacts, calendar... The bad part of this is that if your company's exchange server has some security setup, you will be forced to setup a security code to punch in everytime you try to use your phone. For me, this is pretty annoying.
2) Second solution, there is a SW called Touch Down which you can find in Play Store. This will allow you to sync all contacts, emails... and you don't need to use the security code thingy. The only limirations, I have faced, is that all updates will need to be done through Touch Down interface with your company's Exchange server (e.g. contacts updates will not be possible from People application).
Give this SW a try... you might like it

Hey everyone,
I was just curious if you use color note?
And if you do, where does it sync with google?
My phone successfully syncs and all my notes appear, but when I go to my google account or my gmail, I can't find the notes anywhere.
I know you can back up to the SD card, but it's when I sync to google I can't find them there.
i'm wanna know too
somebody....
proprietary sync
It syncs to ColorNote's servers but only uses google to authenticate/log you in. You cannot access your notes online but they claim to be working on a desktop client.

Official information :
I signed up for online sync service with Google account (Facebook account). Are my notes be synced to Google (Facebook)?
ColorNote's online sync service is not synchronized with Google (Facebook). The Google (Facebook) account is used only for authentication when signing into ColorNote. This feature lets you avoid having to create and remember a separate ID/password just for ColorNote.
I signed up for online sync service. Can I access my notes from a PC?
Currently ColorNote online sync service supports only mobile devices. We are looking into developing a web service so that you can access notes online.
I changed devices. How can I restore the notes on the new device?
You can transfer notes saved on the previous device to the new device using SD card backup or Online sync service. In particular, online sync service is recommended. Choose one method from the following four methods depending on your situation.

And millions agree with you.
ColorNote is the Best Note taker in Android,
but even though C.Note has talked about coming up with a PC Sync since 4 years back
nothing has actually happened...
So keep hoping.
none of the above responses helps. i synchronized my colornotes online and i cant find them on my gmail (where i thought it was saved to). How practically will I get my notes back now, please i really have to get them back
Color note sync
Syncing with Google drive means that when you log into your Google account on a second !mobile device you will find color note on the second device contains all your entries.
What would like to know if Google can know the password you use as I didn't need to input it in to my second device.
I use a Nexus 7 and a Motoe. I can make an entry in either device hit sync a and it appears in the other device.
Cheers
Pain in the neck!
Was this issue ever resolved?
You'd think it wouldn't be This difficult trying to transfer my notes from my old phone (Galaxy s3) to my new one (s5)
Like the OP, I tried the sync thing with my Google acct & when I looked for it, I didn't find a thing.
I also tried:
-Bump/NFC beaming & it *did* transfer the CNote app but minus any of my actual notes.
-Evernote & all *that* did was negate my CNote app! As if I'd uninstalled it.
Closest I got was getting an SD card, backing up to that, then emailing that data to myself so I could download it to my laptop (pc) & eventually put into the CNote app on the new phone. But, of course, another dead end when I opened the file, all I saw was a bunch of insane gibberish. It apparently was in Word 97-2003 ."doc" format.
I'm thinking maybe the version of CNote I had on the old phone is different from the one on the new.
Someone here in this thread said CNote is "the Best Note taker in Android." Not sure I believe that. I *do* love its simplicity & clarity, but for the users like myself who are griping here, when it comes to doing what we need it to do- it sucks. And their customer service is basically non-existent.
I'm about ready to break down & just spend 30 minutes to an hour just emailing each one to myself.
Can someone suggest an equally simple, but FAR more flexible note taking app? Thanks!
If you copy the document (backup) you sent to your email and copy that via a USB cable into your mobile phone directory (storage/emulated/0/data/colornote) or phone/data/colornote as it is shown in windows structure. Than inside Colornote (Settings/ backup) you will be able to see this backup. Click on it and view you will see all your notes.
I don't see how you can restore it but that could be related that I don't have any changes between the current version and my backup.
Hope this helps

HEY.... For all of you who are concerned about the case: How to back up and restore data in ColorNote for Android?
The following explanation helped me:
The thing is what if you’re changing phones or transferring data from one device to another? You will definitely need to back up your phone data and that, of course, includes the data that you’ve saved using ColorNote. You need to have ColorNote app in the new device and get access to it via Online Sync, and automatically it restores all of you notes that were there in the old device.
Lost in Space
I have a question since I have no idea where my personnel information is going "SERVER" is there a way to delete your information from this so called server????
My nexus tablet was stolen and my notes are locked on my surface pro. How can I unlock them on the surface pro?
Windows 10 App for Color Note
If you have a PC with Windows 10 you can download a Color Note App for access on that computer.
Colornote Sync deletes my data
- I inadvertently deleted all my notes
- Easily restored them using my internal backup
- Problem is when I turn sync back on it deletes all my notes
- I believe it is looking to the cloud as the most current status, seeing it empty (since I deleted everything) and syncing all that emptiness to my phone, erasing my freshly restored notes.
- How can I get sync properly operational again ?
Thanx !
The fault is the mocosoft
THE QUESTION IS : WHERE ARE THE DATAAAAAAAAAAA ????????? !!!!!!!!!!!!
My answer is : colornotes is Microsoft application ( in Spanish MOCOsoft sheet industry )
AND YOUR DATA IS IN MOCOSOFT ENTERPRISE ( of corse : very very and very protected )))

i managed to sync my ColorNotes using gmail ..
apparently Google places the Notes in the [Trash] section of the Google Drive linked to your gmail =D
classic google ..
Simply install ColorNotes app on your PC. Log in using your google account. All your notes are stored there. Just did it myself and it works like charm...
Sad to say, I find iOS comfortable, and have done since the first iPhone.
I digressed with an Galaxy S3 for a couple of months, but then it was not for me.
No I´m tempted by the Sonys Xperia Z1, as it features some of the things I loved about my old Sony Ericcson K800. Dedicated camera button, superior camera, and the remote headset option, witch I loved in its time. The gourgeous IPS screen and waterproofing also is a killer, and the more simple UI compared to touchwiz is tempting.
But heres my concern:
On the iPhone, iCloud gives me wireless automatic backup of my deice. Absolutely no stress to restore it. iCloud provides automatic syncronizing of my contacts, my notes(use this one alot) and calendar between devices (mac, ipad and iphone). iCloud also gives me an option to locate my phone by gps if lost. I have a friend who left her phone on the roof of her car, and drove away. iCloud led her back to an almost unharmed phone.
Lots of things are **** about the Apple limitations, but those things mentioned above are golden for me, therefore:
Were are Android at this stage?
1 - At wireless automatic backup and restore?
2 - At wireless automatic syncing of notes, calendar and contacts?
Are there integrated solutions, or do you put together your own solution by picking from different providers?
Android users views and comments about this are much appreciated.
Google automatically backs up contacts, if you login to your google account on your device. And dropbox is very good cloud service, so add your media to there.
try the new Copy.com cloud, they offer 15GB on sign-up + a stunning 5GB for every referral, i already got like 700+ GB free cloud space, they offer apps for every platform out there.

Oh..thanks. Yes of course google does the contacts and calender. I´ve been away too long
But how about the notes? Do you Android folks have a note app you sync with your computer and other devices?
Evernote is an app for that.

Well, contacts, calendar, documents (google docs - if your wise) , pictures (google+ or FB), music (google music), wallpaper and system settings are auto backed up to gmail. Nothing to do EVER, and nothing to BUY either!
Need more? OK. Go SMS which destroys all other SMS clients anyway will backup sms to sd card, google drive, dropbox, or their own server free.
Apps -- auto synced to play store or many 3rd party apps (no root needed).
So what's missing????
No need to perform a backup or restore either! When you sign into your google account on phone setup - it just does it . Thats all.
Oh, and since you can actually look at your phones files you can just copy and paste.
Suggested apps to look into
Go SMS, Go Backup, Helium, G Drive, Google+, Astro, ES File Explorer, etc etc

Okay , why doesn't Google provide a global back up of the phone ? it's really frustrating that we have to use third party apps to back up things separately, why sin't contact and SMS back up supported and built in the android system, even media, this is really a hassle and clutters my phone every time i am migrating to a new device, i hope the day comes where back up is unified in one single option!

For SMS that is due to the different ways each OEM sets up the SMS databases. If you restore the data base from sense to a touch wiz rom you will have issues. With Apple you only have one os. With Android each device has its own distro of the os and works very differently.

This is from an article on CNET, sorry I can't post any links yet since I'm new to this forum.
"Before you begin setting up your Android device, you're going to need a Google account, be it a Google Apps or Gmail account. It's not required on an Android device, but if you're going to take advantage of all that Android has to offer, you'll want to sign up for one. You'll be asked to log in to this account during the initial setup process on your Android device. If you skipped this step and want to go back and add the account later, you can go to Settings > Accounts > Add Account > Google. This same process can be followed to add another type of account (Yahoo, Hotmail, etc.).
Contacts, Calendar and Mail
If your contacts are syncing from your iPhone to Gmail, transferring them will be a breeze. Just make sure you sign into your Android device using the same account you use on your iPhone and make sure Contact sync is enabled. For other accounts, such as Yahoo, you'll need to export your contact list from the Web site for the account. You can typically find this in settings for your account. Or, some carriers offer a free app in the App Store built specifically for transferring your contacts. Verizon and AT&T have apps that do just that.
Should you be an iCloud user, you can still use your iCloud account to sync calendars and contacts to your Android device, but you're going to have to purchase a couple of apps. I have talked about one of the apps before, called SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts; the calendar app is called SmoothSync for Cloud Calendar. These two apps will add your iCloud account to your Android device, allowing you to keep your iPad or Mac in sync with your Android device. This comes in especially useful if you're sharing an iCloud calendar with a family member and don't want to force him or her to switch to Google Calendar just because you've switched to Android.
Music
Perhaps one of the quickest steps of moving from an iPhone to Android is getting your music collection on your new device. What you'll need to do is download the Google Music app to your computer and point it at your music collection. Google will then store your music in the cloud, up to 20,000 songs for free, and let you stream it on your shiny new Android device via the Music app. Anytime you add new music to your catalog, the Music Manager app will automatically upload and sync it to your Android device for you.
If using Google Music isn't possible for you, you can drag-and-drop the music on your computer into the Music folder (create one if it's not present) on your Android device via a USB connection. Mac users will have to use the Android File Transfer app to access their device's storage.
Photos
With the introduction of iCloud and its Photo Stream service, getting photos off your iOS device is easy. Using iPhoto on a Mac, or installing the iCloud Control Panel on a Windows machine you can conveniently grab photos from your iPhone and then sync them to your Android device via USB or through your Google+ account.
For videos on your iPhone, you'll need to use iTunes, iPhoto, or a file explorer to grab the files. Using a program like iExplorer, Image Capture (found in the Utilities folder on a Mac), or the native Windows File Explorer taking the files off your device is simple.
Going forward, you can sync photos from your Android device to your computer via USB, or by installing the Dropbox app and enabling its Camera Upload feature. Rather not mess with a file explorer? The Dropbox Camera Upload feature is another method to get photos off of your iPhone and on to your computer."
Hi- Some of this information may have been posted by "Moreno2.0" but I wanted to give you some info very concisely.
1. From what I can tell, if you have already been syncing your contacts with google, you're set. If not, you may have to export your contacts and then import them into gmail (should be a relatively easy procedure.) I found the following site that may assist you with this and your music. http://goo.gl/OsGcPe
2. Google Play Music SHOULD import all your album art, etc.
3. The biggest thing about Android is the fact that if you want your phone to do something, most likely you can. You chose the #1 Android development related forum to come to, and you should definitely stay active around here (at least checking out what projects people are working on etc.) to help your experience a lot. A ton of the apps I use daily I probably wouldn't have heard about until I came here. Not everything makes Editor's Choice on Google Play.
4. I don't see how you would lose your features if you use an official update method. Most of the time you will update via OTA (over the air) and your phone will notify you that you have an update ready to install. I'm not familiar with your device's specifics, but if you check out its related forum- you may find that you can Odin (Samsung Tool) update to 4.4 or another software release in the future.
Welcome to Android, and please feel free to personally message me if you have any questions. I'm not a developer (yet, working on that), but I know quite a bit. I'm an iOS convert myself.
