Hi everyone,
New to the forum... My Hero's on it's way so I've been reading about rooting, etc, on this great forum I found . Never had an HTC before so not sure I really know what rooting is, but I'll soon give it a go and bust the phone or end up being able to do bluetooth file transfer!
Now to my question! I have my email all through my own domain, but run by/hosted by Google using google apps.
So I use a Googlemail webmail interface to collect my emails, but access it through mail.mydomain.com and get emails to [email protected] . My calendar works similarly.
Will this work with all the built in functionality of the Hero that ties in to Gmail accounts? Do I need to do a hack to do this, or will it work out of the box?
Thanks,
James
I use apps for domains too. Works perfectly except for buying software from the Market - had to open another account for that annoyingly.
Well, I've just recieved my Hero, and under my Google account, I entered my Google apps details, eg,
[email protected] and my relevant password. No luck It didn't recognise it. Off to do a bit of googling on the subject now, but any help on how to get it to sync with a Google Apps for Domains account greatly appreciated...
I can definitely guarantee you that it works. I use my domain with Google Apps for Domains, and the only thing that didn't work was paid apps on the market - even then, it knew that this was because I had an apps account and it asked me for a "normal" gmail account and would allow me to buy apps.
I suggest a full reset may be in order.
Regards,
Dave
Cheers
I just tried a hard reset and this time it worked when I entered the details as I booted up
Not sure if it's relevant but this is the "brown" HTV Hero from www.mobiles.co.uk
Loving the phone so far, really pleased it works with domains as that would have been a deal breaker!
Did I understand right, that the Hero asked for a normal gMail-Account in addition to the gApps-Account, if you want to buy software from the marketplace?
Or do I have to completely change to a normal gMail-Account if I want to buy something?
I'd like to keep my gApps-Account and have no problem to open an additinal gMail-Acc just for Marketplace.

Yes, this is correct. You still sign into the market using your gApps-Account, but you can't link a credit card to that account in the Market. In this case, all it does is asks you to authenticate yourself with a regular gMail account when checking out - all your apps are still linked in the Market to your regular gApps account.

Hi, no response in Q&A so thought I'd ask here too... 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.
In exploring my Google Dashboard, I realized that I have apps that I accidentally bought under my work Google account. If I ever leave this job, I want to retain updates on these apps. Does anybody know whether it's possible to transfer these to my personal account, which is where I typically buy my apps?
So I need serious help/explanation to this issue I have come across. I had created a new Google account due to my old one being hacked into.
What I realized is that all my apps would be gone if I removed my old email from the phone. So realizing that I am rooted with titanium backup, I did a backup of all my apps on TB....reset my phone to factory settings...put my new Google account in and ran a restore of all my apps that were associated with my old Google account. Worked like a charm, until it came to my purchased apps.
Whenever I have an update for a purchased app I get the 403 error code. So I tried to uninstall the app and see if it would make me re-buy it under my new Google account...nope. It says "purchased" and when I hit install I get the same 403 error code.
Now I know the obvious way around this is to keep my old Google account on the phone but I really don't want to do that. Is there a way I can somehow unlink the purchased apps so I can just rebuy them?
Need your help and thanks in advance!

Good morning everyone!
I'm setting up a tablet (Asus MemoPad FDH10, Android 4.2.2) for my mother, and I would love to be able to install the apps I've already bought, but without giving her access to my emails, photos and other data linked with my Google account.
One way is to add my Play Store Account, download the apps and then remove it, but some apps request licence and I fear that there should be some problems with it.
Is there any work around?
No one? If nobody answers I will simply assume there is no solution...
