I have a google account ***@gmail.com and this is linked to my google apps e mail ***@customdomain.com.
I don't use the google account gmail address at all, only the google apps account. Presumably, my phone (when I get it) will ask me for my google account details so which should I use?
I see from another thread that paying for apps necessitates a google account login that is linked to google checkout rather than a google apps login. I don't want to get things too complicated but at he same time I want all of my contacts to be synched with my google apps account rather than my google account.
Does this make sense and can anyone suggest what I should do?
I definitely don't want the main e mail address and contacts list to be my @gmail.com address. Thanks
Don't sweat it! It isn't a problem.
Set up your phone with your Google Apps for Domains account.
Everything will work just fine, up to the point when you want to purchase some apps from the market. It will then just ask you for another account to link to Google Checkout, purely for purchasing purposes only - all your purchased apps will still be linked to your Google Apps for Domains account.

Awesome, Thanks

I use my personal email address as my Google ID. I have absolutely need for a gmail account, but I do use contacts, bookmarks and other services.
I have tried to sync my Desire to my Google accounts, but it tells me "does not use Google Mail" and won't let me proceed until I sign up for a googlemail address.
Is there any way round this without signing up for an email address I will never use?
Google Apps?
but even a google apps domain should work absolutely fine...or at least they always used to..
of course, if you have literaly signed into igoogle with your own email address and do not actually have a googlemail account, be that normal or google apps domain, then yes, you would need to sign up for one. that's just how it works.
Thanks for the quick replies.
I do literally sign into Google with my own email address and it works fine for all of the web-based services I ever use. But if I have to, I will setup an inbox which will never be used.
Hello, yesterday I flashed a new rom on my desire, and when i tried to download some apps that i have bought before, the market shows me the payment screen again.
Do you know why is this happening and how can i fix it??
Thanks

Quite possibly.. if you keep changing it might just need a few hours to re-sync.

Here is what i have done:
I have been using my Google Apps username ([email protected]) which can be used to redirect to the Google Account that i have on the Gmail ([email protected]) for the Google services that aren't provided for hosted domains.
The previous orders have been charged on the Gmail Account ([email protected]) since there can't be a Google Checkout Account on a Google Apps domain.
Yesterday when i set up the phone i used the Gmail username, and after searching those apps it asked for payment.
So, what is wrong with all this? Since the apps are bought in the [email protected] email, what is the problem with Android Market?
I also have to say that i use market enabler since i live in a non-supported country and faked to the US carrier.
This is really troubling :S
I contacted the support of one of the apps and they advised to buy again and they will refund the previous charge.
Unfortunately this is not a good solution even though it is fair :|

If I understand you correctly, when you original purchased your apps you used your [email protected] account which is a Google Apps for Domains account.
Since the Market doesn't allow Google Checkout with Apps for Domains accounts, when you purchased it would have asked you to use an alternate [email protected] account.
Assuming this is the case, your purchases are still linked to your original [email protected] account (which is fine), but you have now logged into your phone directly with your [email protected] account. It seems that the GMail account is only required to link with Google Checkout, and your apps are not linked to this account.
If you reset your phone and log back in again as [email protected], you should be ok.
I also use an Apps for Domains account, and I can tell you that this works fine for me.

I see..
Well I had changed to the gmail login for some reasons so I suppose I have to buy the apps again :|
Thanks for the reply though
So, back when I first got my Incredible, my Google apps account didn't work with checkout, google voice etc... so to effectivly use my phone I had to also use my true gmail account.
When I look into Accounts & Sync, as I understand it, the FIRST google account listed is the first one assigned to the phone.
Mine are ordered as:
[email protected]
[email protected]
HOWEVER, my gtalk is signed into mydomain.com's account. Back when the first 2.2 leak came out, I did a wipe and fresh install of 2.2 (after dutifully performing a nandroid) and could not get GMAIL to be my first account and still use gtalk with mydomain.com.
Is there a trick to this? Some special order/way to sign into gmail first, but attach these add-on apps (i.e. voice and gtalk) to my google apps account?
TIA for any tips...
I'm "ok" right now, but there WILL be a time when I want to start fresh, and when I do that I worry I'll never get it set back up the same way I am now.
I *could* just use my apps account, except I purchased a few apps and would hate loosing them / having to re-buy them and/or asking all the developers for refunds so I could repurchase under my apps account.
For all registration purposes, purchases and other services i was always using my secondary google account (newsletters, spam..), primary is for irl people.
But using secondary account for play store could be a mess, earlier android ver. tried to associate always your primary account, in the desktop browser
play store doesn't have 'switch account' option like in gmail or youtube, so you have to log off - sign in etc, so you end up with apps installed on both your accounts.
I'm interested in what people here are using for play store? One primary account for all because it's more convenient, or something else?
I use 2 accounts, one is primary that links to all Google services. The second is just added for gmail sync only.
Hi,
I usually have 2 gmail accounts signed in for a user. One account where my all play store apps are there....and the other one mostly for mails. both are gmail accounts.
All are fine until Lollipop. Usually I sign in with my play store account then later add my other account. All of the apps tied to my main account so all my in app purchases are fine. When I go to accounts always my main account listed first then additional ones in the order I added.
After lollipop, my accounts seems getting sorted by alphabet. My main accounts starts with S (similar as username) so it listed out last in order. When I open apps most of them seems tied to first account listed where none of my in app purchases there.
As of now I left out all accounts and sign in using one account which solves the issue temporarily, but I really like to have my other accounts also signed in. (as some of play books tied to those).
I don't want to create separate user for this purpose...
Did any one else seeing this issue. Is there a solutions.
Please help.
Thank you.
