When I add a google account to a device it adds that account to all google apps (mail, maps, calendar, etc). I can turn sync off for most of the apps, but is there a way to limit which off the Google apps that account is connected to? ie, it signs in to my google account on Google Play Music so my wife can access our music (which is on my account), but my account isn't connect to her Google Maps so her location stops messing with my timeline.

Probably an odd one, but I installed the Google Talk login patch from preware but google talk still doesn't work in messenger.
Could it be because it is trying to sign in with a yahoo account (it is enabled as a google account and works elsewhere (i.e. the web/google talk/chat extension for chrome) but not on webos...
when it tries to log in it just says to check your google account
thanks!
I just flashed my Sony Ericson Xperia Play with a custom kernal and ROM. I am attempting to connect to the google play store but it wont let me use my yahoo account. When it says to enter my account it asks for a google account and my yahoo account is currently associated with google, i have been able to download apps for my phone through this account before (Before flashing the phone).
It's not the flash which has made it impossible to use my yahoo account but the fact that i need a gmail account now to download apps. In the past i have been able to use my yahoo account but i cannot get it to work.
Does anyone know how i can log into the play store with my yahoo account?
If anyone says that it is impossible to access the play store with a non gmail account or that you cant have a google account associated with a non gmail email address i will post screenshot for proof.
Kernel: LuPuS_zeus_Stock-gB+iCsv7-full
ROM: Atomic GB 7.0
Google has been removing this option from the play store.

Does anyone have a good how-to on setting up limited account sync on a secondary device?
I'd like to share my Google Music library with my wife, but she doesn't need (or want) access to my Gmail, G+, etc.
As near I can tell, providing access to Google Sync automatically provides access to ALL Google services at once. I can manually disable them, but there's nothing to prevent the services being re-enabled without re-prompting for a password.
How can I add my google account to my wife's phone so we both have access to our music? I have added my account to her phone, but we seem to have issues. Even when notifications for my account on her phone are OFF, she still seems to get things popping up from my account, such as Google+ Notifications, Hangout messages, etc. Is there any way for me to DISABLE my account on her phone for all apps except Play Music? And Maybe Google+ Photos [in a read-only mode ideally].
Thank you!
I've got my S3 I9300 International version. It's running 4.3. I have my google account synced for email and calendar. I don't want anything else synced so I go into:
Settings > Accounts > Google > My Account
In there, there are 15 things that can be synced. They are:
App Data
Calendar
Contacts
Drive
Gmail
Google Play Books
Google Play Movies & ...
Google Play Music
Google Play Newsstand
Google+
Google+ Photos
Google+ Uploads
Internet
People details
Picasa Web Albums
Every day or so I can go in there and check the sync settings and all by itself, it has enabled Google+, Google+ Photos and Internet. Can anyone tell me how to stop these options from enabling themselves? I went into Google+ and disabled a load of stuff and randomly they still keep getting enabled. Auto backup is disabled as well. It drives me mad.
