Hi, hoping there's some kind of solution for this...
Basically, I have an old gmail address that I want to get rid of(or stop using at least) and make a new one, because it's full of so much crap. However, I have many purchased apps from the Play Store, and was wondering if there is any way of linking that data to a new gmail address? Or does the Google Market even have anything to do with the gmail address you use? Any help is appreciated.
Gmail Id u use to download apps from play store has those apps backed up. Meaning, if u get a new phone or factory reset the phone, once u sign in with that Gmail account, all those apps will automatically start to download (even the ones u have paid for) , so u don't have to scratch the head and think which are all the apps u had on d phone!

Hy,
I can buy apps from Android Market on a PC and push it to my phone but I cannot directly pay on my SGS2.
I have already try several times and try to clear datas of Market app.
History :
I use a google app account (ie a google account but not finishing by gmail.com)
First setting with an operator stock ROM
Then flash to XXKG1 and set the phone with my email
Connect my google app account on checkout
Now I cannot buy on my phone but I can on PC and that can cause problem when I try to purchase some tegra games.
Warning it may be due to the fact that I use a google app.
Do anyone knows a workaround solution to transfer app from a google account to another? To add false devises on the web android market?
Thanks for help.and warning to user of google app acvounts.
After moving from XXKG1 to WWKH3 with full wipe, market is OK
After going on on restauring my datas, Android market still does not allow me to buy apps.
I have made a factory reset and installed step by step. The problem was on restaurong the accouts with Titanium backup. It seems it generate some problems with Android market at least for me!
Hi experts!
I used to have two Google accounts, one private and one for work. Unfortunately, I have been fired a month ago and I have no more access to the latter. I believe it is still active but they changed the password and I just can't login.
The problem is that all the apps registered in my Google Play under this account are not available for uninstall or update. Each time I try, I get the message "Authentication is required. You need to sign into your Google Account."
The apps work well on the Android phone but I can't manage them. Moreover, I can't reinstall apps that I uninstalled using the disabled account. All the apps that have been installed with my private account are managed just fine.
I am using a Samsung S2 (GT-I9100) with Android 2.3.3. Google Play Store v 3.7.15.
Any clue how I can get the control back on those apps?
Thanks in advance!

This might be a dumb suggestion but if you know the username but not password then why not try the "forgot password" system most sites have.
Never needed to with play but they must on the website version have a way to recover or reset password.
Although if work paid for those apps they could in theory seek compensation if you try re accessing them.

Thanks for your suggestion. It's not dumb but since my former work Gmail account is managed by the administrator, it would be too easy if I could just reset the password myself. Anyway, my intention is not to hack the account but rather get back access to my apps.
BTW, these are not work related apps, just that when I installed them from the phone somehow, Android chose that account by default (I don't even know how). I am now stuck with no possibility to manage them.
I wonder if by deleting this account on the phone, the apps will stay installed or will be uninstalled as well.

my suggestions does not belong to hacking and software and so on but in your situation i would think about which apps u installed/owned by the corporation id on google play
cus if there are any apps wich needed any additional privat information or even have to deal wich such privacy things u might go to the administrator and say him well after the laws in this state ure not allowed to keep this information and he might will give u acces again.
its like getting a notebook by from your work and getting some private stuff on it like photos from your children..afterwards u loose ure job and they retake the notebook.
they have to give u the possibility to change or delete this information.
thats what i would do
why can't you download those same apps on your device with your private gmail account? just delete your corporate acct after you register your private acct. i' ve done multiple accts so many times.

I was just wondering if the apps will be uninstalled automatically if I delete the corporate account or if they will be stuck with the then unexisting account (on my device) with no possibility to update or uninstall them.
Any clue?
Hi, no response in Q&A so thought I'd ask here too... hoping there's some kind of solution for this...

I've got a new phone, and both it and my old one show up on Google Play, with the tabs showing the respective apps installed.
The old one is rooted, and I want to let my son use it on his own GMail ID. I've no problem resetting it or loading a completely new ROM.
Is there a proper procedure for dissociating it from my GMail ID and adding it to his. I have a suspicion that if I just change the associated email address in the Google Play settings on the phone, it will still appear on my list of devices.
If his gmail account isn't connected to yours then a factory reset and then add his account and then it should disappear. This means all paid apps would have to be bought again. Idk if google saves the device in your list but you wont have access to it.

Thanks for that - I was wondering how to make sure its tab disappears from my google account - it sounds like it's not possible...
Hello all,
Recently i changed my username from the phone cuz i had an acoount for phone, other for mail,other for google drive and i dont liked the username from phone to keep it. So i created a new account to merge all in one single account ( mail, drive, plystore...etc). after that i seen all my apps what are installed on the phone are not seen by google play store. if i go to my apps in playstore there i see only apss what are installed after chaning the google account on the phone. Actually i dont want to reinstall all my apps from the phone but i want the playstore to see them and update them. There its a way to make the playstore to see my applications after changing the username without reinstalling them? thanks you !!
