I have some trust issues xd like why would it be collecting my third app account login data?
because you can link third party accounts to your huawei account and import data. like facebook or google contacts, calendar etc.

That example is used for connected apps, but in those cases, third-party app doesn't have access to login data, but only make use of Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc APIs.
Login data is another matter imo.

I am in the process of setting up and exploring my new Note. It appears that a lot of this involves a Google account. I have an old Google account, but it does not use a gmail email.
Will I have to setup a separate account with Gmail to access the extras?

I think you can just use your Google account. It should still give you access to the market.
But to be safe.... I'd make a Gmail account. Great way to manage your contacts, calenders, etc

So, I'm a bit confused with the plethora of options built into this phone. In order to set up Google Play, I had to enter a gmail account. That partially populated email on the phone. But there's also a separate GMAIL program. I can't remember which was necessary before contacts and calendar stuff started to appear.
Am I better off sticking with the phone's email program for gmail, or using the Gmail program from within the google apps folder? What are the plusses/minuses?
Also, is it possible to import contact photos from twitter for name matches or by linking profile to contact name?
Thanks!
GMail app is better for GMail as it allows specific GMail features like the stars, etc
Maybe the e-mail app supports that, but I am only using the E-Mail app for exchange
I would say go for the GMail app!
Use gmail app.
Hi,
I have a personal Google account which I sign into my Nexus 5 with and that all works fine.
I also have a work Google Apps account which I would like to log into Hangouts with but do not want to add it like a normal account (i.e. Settings > Add Account etc).
The reason is that if I sign in to my work account it requires that I download a device policy which then restricts how I use my phone (i.e. does not allow lock widgets, rooting etc).
I have found workarounds for email and calendar where I have third-party apps that let me sign in from a web-based google login page and then grant access.
So I am after, either, a way to log into Hangouts app without adding a base account, or a third party app maybe that would allow me to log in like the email / calendar clients I have.
Any suggestions for this would be appreciated.
Hi guys,
I have my personal Google Account, but at work we have a shared Google Account, what I need to sync from that work account is Calendar.
I mean I want to add that google account but not as full sync (i.e. Settings > Add Account>Google etc). I just want to add the Google Calendar, using a third party calendar app that lets me sign with google and sync only with Google Calendar. is that possible?

Look for a calendar app that has CalDAV support. Search for CalDAV in the play store.
Hi. I am new here.
I have problem with sync contacts from Facebook on my smartfon with Android 4.4.4 (Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE). It was working about 1 or 2 weeks ago, now doesn't work. Android doesn't download even 1 contacts from Facebook to his address book.
I logged out from Facebook application, deleted account Facebook from account in address book. Then added Facebook account again, logged in in Facebook application. Switch on sync all contacts and setup contacts to show for google account and Facebook account. Sync was completed and nothing was downloaded.
I don't know how can I fix this up.
PS: Facebook application was reinstalled, doesn't help..
PS2: application such sync.me doesn't download any FB contacts , too.
Seems like it probably has something to do with their new API. Check out the info for another FB contact sync type app here:

Yes it is the api. After the change and the current tos from Facebook Google removed androids native sync options for Facebook.

You just need a 3rd party app to do it. Facebook is not really a big thing with alot of people I know so I really dont use it much and stopped syncing stuff from it when the TOS changed a while ago.
Test a few out in the play store. One of them is bound to work.
