Why is this so HARD or am I stupid???

Alright so i been going nuts trying to figure out why when i sign in a new device it gets full access to all my google account information. I have a few android phone in the the house all using different google address so its fine. But recently purchased a new tablet and both me and my brother signed in which is fine. Installed all the apps that were purchased from the Play Store and this is were the problem is.
When you sign in once the tablet now has access to everything related to that google account and no verification is asked or prompts to login. I don't want my brother reading my emails and he is the same it makes no sense why you enter it once and the device has access to everything. I would like to control what features of my google account a device has access too.
I just want to be able to install purchased apps on the tablet and nothing more, is this possible?

Hahahah. Jebise. Haha. Bravo on the nik.
AFAIK, no is the answer to ur question. Google is said to be working on multiple user accounts. Maybe an app is out on play store that locks ur email app but i havent heard of it.
PS. Pusti brata neka cita email naucice nesto novo. Heheh.

Thanks, it was unintentional way back when i was thinking of an internet alias. It was suppose to be Jebus (Homer say this in one of the episodes) but young foolish me decided to spell it Jebise and it just kinda got stuck and like you once in a while i get these messages. I know what it means now but anyways back to OP.
That is really dump. This is why we never shared accounts, I don't want to purchase the same apps again. I guess Apple has it right with the AppStore because it prompts for a password to install apps and there is no link to email.

Look in settings in the app store I think there is a setting where it will ask you if u want to ask for password before installing any apps. My phone is off so i cant confirm but I believe i did see it almost 100 %.

It's for a PIN but that still does not solve the issue for gmail. I guess we can just uninstall the app.

Sign in, install your apps the remove the account.
Solved.

THIS! and/or titanium backup...

yes but thats kind of annoying.

or you can just go to the google settings in each tab and tell it not to sync email and calander or just disable google sync for all app all together.

yeah but if you go into the app, you can still manually see emails and such even if sync is disabled. it seems I have to remove my account or use TB which is a pain with multiple devices and that not even including updates.
After some thinking I think I will just have to create a new google account just for purchasing apps and nothing else. Sad google has no real control on this.

not if new apps are purchased or updates.
I think the far easier option is to create a generic email with just a CC used to purchase apps.

Google now package card issues

Has anyone seen a Google now package card for shipped packages? I've gotten at least six emails from different sites in the past week or two and I haven't seen a single card informing me that a package has shipped. I've seen one on my girlfriends GS3 out of here four orders that have shipped. I'm wondering if the business needs to have some sort of presence known with google or something. I opened an issue for it if anyone wants to comment or star the issue.
Google now cards do not show for shipment/shipping/tracking information
Maybe it would be best to just list the business(es) that you have or haven't received an email from.

That is actually the only one I've seen and that was on my gf's GS3, other than that we've seen none.

They're coming to your Gmail, right? I know you probably know that they can only scan GMail, but it doesn't hurt to check.
EDIT: Read your posting on Google, looks like you've got it covered.

Got one for my Etsy order and one for my Amazon. Working fine here.

I'm having the exact same problem. I've had a good half dozen ship notices hit my Gmail in a little over a week, including an Amazon shipment today. Not a single package card. In fact, I haven't gotten any Gmail related cards at all.

Well looks like it doesn't actually matter from which companies the emails are from then since some users have reported cards and no cards with Amazon shipments.
Do you guys have gmail setup to automatically sync or do you manually sync it? I manually sync to save battery life. I'd think it wouldn't be based on our phones though and would be based off of mail.google.com

i auto sync.

Same here. Several packages in the past few days and no Google Now cards.

Yall do have that card turned on in settings right?
Works for me, I just wish it had real time tracking info such as a delivery date & "delivered" confirmations. I received something yesterday it is still showing the card for. It wouldn't be hard for them to fix it so it works right, I mean this is a good start, but it's practically useless considering I have the same info in gmail. The idea of Gnow is to present info we need without searching, the way the package cards are set up now does not meat that criteria, it just copy/pastes whats in your gmail. I still have to search the tracking manually.

Not working here either on any of my devices - GS3 with CM10, Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus.
Not sure what could be the issue. I did star your issue though

Yes, it's turned on. I have pretty much all cards turned on, and only see most just occasionally, other than the directions/navigation card for places I've searched. To date I've NEVER gotten a single Gmail related card to come up. And my Gmail is auto-sync.
For reference, stock, unlocked, rooted 4.1.1 (toro).
Google Search 2.1.12.516912
Gmail 4.1.2

Strange. My auto-sync is also on (usually), I do sometimes toggle it off when I'm going out and want to conserve battery life. I am on CM10 but that shouldn't matter. Only other thing I can think of is my amazon purchase emails come in as "important", not "stared" but "important". Not sure why that would matter but who knows..

Same issue as OP, wondering if there is a fix. Since the last update the only "new" feature I have seen in Google now was a new story I guess I was interested in about the Nexus 4. Once it disappeared it has been a little like a grave yard in there......

My theory is that some people might be using a modified gmail apk, for example the inverted one, etc, That might make them not get that card. I use the inverted apk n I never got a package card.
THIS. IS. NEXUS.

"Theory" is the key word. I have the stock app and have yet to see a package card from any place I have ordered since the updated Google Now was released. From the sounds of things, we're all in the same boat.

Same here

same problem MIUI wasabi rom

I have the same problem, I have seen one package card and received over 12 shipment confirmations over the past weekend. The 1 card I saw was last Monday.
Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) - stock
One caveat that I discovered. For the 1 card I received if I go into gmail on Chrome it shows the "package info - tracking number" side bar (right side). For all other confirmation emails with tracking numbers that side bar is not showing up. This side bar is essentially the information in the Google Now package card.
I am thinking these problems are directly related. So if I can figure out why the package info side bar isn't showing up then I can fix the Google Now problem as well. All confirmations came through Amazon including the first that works correctly and displayed a Google Now package card.

All of mine have shown tracking in the right hand pane in web-based Gmail and I have never seen package card. As an update, I have now tried on my just received Nexus 10 (4.2), and still no package cards. Same with my wife's Nexus 7 (4.1 and 4.2).

How to get 50 G dropbox with Note II?

I read somewhere that with Note II you get 50 G Dropbox. I have a Dropbox account previously with 2.75 G. When I signed in with Note II it doesn't seem to automatically increase to 50 G. I wonder how to get the increase?

Does not work with att and verizon

I had the same problem but I just got an email stating that my dropbox account has been upgraded to 50GB. Only thing I did differently is open the dropbox app directly and boom I got the email.

Sorry, im not totally sure what I did. I got the email when I opened the dropbox app directly. I did not get the email during the intial setup of the phone.

I don't remember exactly how I did it but I have 50gb. There is a separate Dropbox app that it uses to know it's a 50gb

I just singed in to my account from the email i received. I already had 25gb +2 gb bonus. Once I signed in i now have 77+ gb of space. Didn't do anything special. Just logged in. Though the extra 50gb is only for 2 years. Not sure what will happen to my files if I manage to fill that space up.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987023
Download that rom & either install it or pull the dropbox app from it. Login into your account & a few mins later, you should receive an email from Dropbox saying that your account has been updated for 50GB or something like that. Took about 5-10 min or less upon signing in.

Ok so what email... who what when where did the email come from??

If your phone did not come with dropbox preinstalled, you wont get the space. ie att did not agree with dropbox therefore no app was preinstalled.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium

The only way to get this to work is to install the T-Mobile ported rom and log into dropbox. After you login and sync with device, you will receive
a email.
ATT did not contract with dropbox so no other way around this, only like stated from above post, you go into the rom and just pull that file.

would this work if u already did it with sgs3?

For everyone trying to get the free 50gb Root and install the multipane window thing, It will take less than 10 minutes to do everything. Highly worth it

Oh that kinda sucks
Thanks for all the inputs!
Sent from Note II

I got it to work. I registered when I first got the phone with stock everything on it. Then you have to log into their website and do something like 5/9 tasks they have given you to unlock 50GB.

so im on ATT and didnt get this wonderful storage, so i did ask suggested and grabbed that rom and pulled out the dropbox apk. sideloaded it onto the phone and logged in, nothing happen no email, or notification of this extra storage wonder what i might have done wrong

I wish people would read. Verizon and AT&T opted out of this promotion. You cannot get the Dropbox space from a phone (unmodified) from either of these carriers.
Sent from the world's largest smartphone: Galaxy Note II.

oh i read mr high and mighty...also read that people said to EITHER A) load that rom or B) pull the apk out of the rom and load it to the phone. I realize and understand that AT&T opted out of this deal but people keep saying it worked for them and not a single person has said they got it from being on a different carrier or from just using the rom or even just the apk from said rom. so maybe you should just calm the **** down and not respond if you have nothing to add that helps anyone, you seem to just troll this so you can ***** and complain instead of help

Create an account and login dropbox on your phone. Then you get an email with a link on how to get 50 gig. I think its dropbox.com/gs. There are 7 steps they lay for you to get 50 gigs. You only need to do 5 of the 7.
Example.
Create a shared folder in drop box and share it with someone.
Install drop box on your main PC
Install drop box on another PC
Email your friends asking them to join.
Login to dropbox on your mobile phone and upload a picture.
They show you each and update the page once you accomplish each one. It takes about 20 minutes.
The bummer I found out later. It's not a lifetime storage like when box.com ran their promotion. It's only good for 24 months.

I am a noob. My phone was stolen and my photos are very important.

Not 100% sure how to regain your data if you don't have a google account linked to it anymore. If you did just going to play.google.com and having it send an app like GotYa. But if the person that took your phone did a full wipe on it recovering anything remotely sounds like more of a challenge than an easy task.
With the phone back in hand you _might_ be able to use some regular PC data recovery tools to pull data off the SD card even if its been deleted prior.
Not sure if Anyone will be helpful in tracking things down, Most of the time the phone company just wants to drop the connection on the stolen phone and move forward from there.
Hopefully someone else will have better information than I can provide though. I've only dealt with Lost phones, never actually had one stolen.

Google +?
Did you have either Google + or Dropbox on the phone? Both backup photos if you enabled them during setup.

I can't download from Google Play store. It says I never accessed from my phone. None of my google accounts worked.
Found my photos but I can not get closer that 323 yards to get my phone. And the police aren't interested because the only crime was the theft from my car. If it were my cold dead body they would look.
Can any of the IMEI or other information help me get closer? How? Force a download? Drag and drop into the apps I have on my google accounts?
Please help!

Always...ALWAYS link your data with your google account....unless you work for the CIA, FBI, a terrorist organization, or NSA. You can sync your contacts, photos, apps and app settings, you name it. There is no need to walk into a sprint store anymore to "transfer your contacts." I dont know why they even still offer that service when you can just simply sync everything now.

transfer paid apps to new account

so i got an email from google today saying that someone tried to log in to my account from china. Obviously it couldnt be me, so i reported it and immediately changed my password and enabled two step verification. But still, i would rather stay on the safe side and use a completely new account. Normally i would do just that without a seconds though, but i have paid for apps with this account. so i was wondering if it would be possible to transfer those apps to a new account.

You need to email each developer for the paid apps. They will have you verify some things and get you the app on your new account.
