EDIT: Mod please correct spelling in topic title. Rushing combined with no proofreading isn't good.
I searched, couldn't really find what I felt was accurate information with what little was available. I need to change Gmail cause the one associated with my DInc is years old & become cluttered with junk. I realize I can export my contacts from the original then import to the new at which point they should sync with that account.
Big question. What about apps? How can the purchase history be changed, app info backed up. Just any opinions, advice or whatever. Prefer to do it right the first time.
Basically would like to have work completely as is but with fresh address.

Since everything is associated with your Gmail account, I presume you'll have to contact Google about it. I am not sure if they've made changes to allow that or not. You also could contact the developer of the app, they may be able to help out too. It seems like it is an issue for a lot of people, so if you find an answer, please share your steps!
For apps I guess it would depend upon how you paid for them. I use Google Checkout so all my app purchases are linked to my account. The dev has to keep that information somewhere to verify that you bought it but not sure that you could get it out of them that easily a lot are just ma and pa devs and who knows what they keep around. Also not sure if Google allows you to rename your email address but it might be an option in account settings. That way you don't have to open a new account and all your Google accounts would be updated.
I went into my account but didn't see any thing in the settings which would allow you to rename the email account. Google tech support might be able to do it if you contacted them.

Hello guys i am thinking of creating an app for this platform bring the best of shopping list apps and health apps in one unified app that can all these simple works for you. Like i want the health app to fully integrated into the accounts of shopping list so that in each day you have a full report on which items where your money was spent on and i will also include both cash and bank account in case you want to beware also with how your bank account is worth. I just have one main problem the app will require the user to enter alot of items and backing up is another major problem. i need some to help me on the sync, i want the app to b able to sync may be to the users preferred email address
If you want development advice you need to ask way more specific. It sounds like you don't even know what sync is.
Or what healthcare actually means.
i have done some searching here but not across all the android phone platforms for android.
My Desire is SOOO slow, I need to do a reset. However, one thing I desperately want to do is put all the contact information I have for each contact amalgamated in to one contact on say the google contact.
At the moment I have say 9 separate contact accounts for one that are all linked together, comprising of say a google account contact, 6 for the phone and then linked to facebook which gives me the birthday and photo. I'd really like a simple way to be able to take all that and put it in to one google contact without so many! This to then be done for all my contacts.
Any way?
Not to be the bearer of bad news and with the hope of giving this post a boost to the front page for some good help, but I very much doubt an app has been created to do this. Maybe a business opportunity though for the right developer!
Fatal flaw in android imho. Been wanting to manage all my contacts in a single account since day 1 on the desire and posted several times in various forums without much in the way of a response. The current approach is complex and messy.

does the contacts function of googlemail not meets your needs guys? If not why not? I dont use facebook so dont know if it is any good in that department. TBH I cant see google supporting facebook to much as I think they are on googles hit list.
Ok, i've been looking around and have found a few, but I was wondering what everyone else is using.
I need to use my phone for business, and quite honestly, the built in contacts app is lacking a few features. The worst is lacking the ability to sort contacts by company name or last name.
If you have replaced your contacts app, please let me know which one you are using and what you think about it.
Thanks!
If you're using Froyo, you can open up contacts, menu, More, Display options, then pick Sort order (and some other configurable settings).
I've tried a couple contact managers in the past.. and none were any good. I would just search appbrain or androidzoom.com, etc.
Hope that tip helps though.

Thanks, I have played with Froyo a bit, but went back to Eclair due to some issues. I was thinking of trying the latest release, so thanks for the info.
I have searched though the app stores and have found a few, but based off of reviews and lack of updates, I didn't feel they were all that good.
I wish I had the time to learn to code, I would just make one myself...
Ok...i'm off to play with Froyo
Well, Froyo does allow sorting by last name, but it does not offer any other sorting methods
Anyone else have any experience with alternative contact managers?
i have an epic, running 2.2, and using launch pro plus they have a people widget, works pretty good
Haven't had a good business contact manager since I got rid of the Treo 755p. Maybe if enough people rag on Dataviz they will port over their contacts database called: Beyond Contacts
I'll take a look at the widget, but I'm looking more for a true contact manager.
Beyond Contacts would be a promising port if they were interested.
I am surprised with all the apps that are out there that a decent contact manager doesn't seem to exist.
Have you tried Youlu Address Book?

I've been able to group my contacts into countless categories, and even put contacts into multiple categories (friends and coworkers for example) once I logged onto my contacts list via Gmail, creating my own categories, clicking the checkbox that the person applies to and then automatically gets synced it to my phone. I have to click a few times (Phone > Contacts> Groups > Google) to get into those categories vs just going directly to my list, but its still easier and almost quicker to use then when I was using ContactsGroupU on my Moment.
I signed up with Google Docs and I am trying to get everything under one roof. However, I cannot figure out how to change the email account that is associated with my Dell Streak 7.
I added the email account but I cannot figure out how to associate this account to my tablet.
Can this be done and if so how?
I have found a lot of threads
How do I change the google account associated with the android market account on my Droid?
Change default Google account [SOLVED] - this one did not work for me
Remove/change main google account
Is it possible to change your linked gmail account or do you have to do a phone reset - I don't have "Google Apps" in the settings.
I really don't want to do a factory reset. I also found RemoveAccGoogle Desire.rar - but I don't know if this will really work.
Thanks!
This is basically what I did and it seemed to work:
This is what I did - before doing a factory reset and it has worked out well for me.
I went into the Android Market and looked at all my downloads. I then chose View source to get the page information and pasted it into Expression Web. This of course created a basic replica of the pages. Fortunately, it was only three pages.
Once this was done, I removed the SD card, just in case. I then did the factory reset and added my new account. I can now easily click on the links from the pages to install the programs.
Maybe removing the SD card did not allow the programs that were installed on there to be "re-installed", but it should not matter.
Maybe there was a different way but I could not get them to work.
Just in case here is the final pages with the Google Account change. I have not installed the new apps just yet, but maybe this will help some people:
Page 1
Page 2
Page 3
I thought google allowed linking the two accounts.
I have been googling for a while trying to find this, but I haven't found a Jelly Bean compatible solution. It seems to have existed back in Éclair or Donut, but I didn't use it if it did and I'm too lazy to go boot up an old phone to check.
What I'm trying to do is only sync certain contact groups from Gmail to my phone (running CM10). I am well aware that you can display only certain groups in the Contacts, but that still keeps them synced to the phone, so they'll show up in contact auto-complete for email, testing, search, etc.
The reason I am trying to do this is because I teach university classes (we use Google Apps for the school email), and I make separate contact groups for each class section I teach, then one for faculty and staff. I keep old groups around in case I ever need them, but I don't really want to keep them synced with my phone. I really just want to sync whichever groups I'm teaching this semester and the faculty group. I could easily remove the old groups from the My Contacts group if there's a way just to sync that, but I haven't found it if it exists.
Anyone know a way to do this? I'd be super appreciative!
