I wanna add my email account to the Android market app to my little brothers phone, he has a galaxy note 2 aswell, so he can use the apps i use, is there a way possible of doing this without him getting all my emails and contacts?
Is there a way i can transfer all my google purchases to another email account?

It can be done, I shared some of my apps with my mom. I don't think it's right or fair to share paid apps because it's stealing and dishonest. Only you paid to use the app. XDA is not the place to ask how to cheat developers or steal from them and to do so will likely result in getting yourself banned.
It's actually easier to use S Beam to share apps between devices that have this feature. A lot of my co workers have SGIII and one has Note2 and we use S Beam to share photos, videos, and apps all the time.

Not looking to cheat out devs, if that was the case, id just side load the apps, can easily find em online and skip the license checking aswell. My little brother is in 8th grade, not really working or anything. And i buy apps that he uses alone aswell.
And the reason to switch the purchases to another account was so i can keep my personal emails contacts and calendars separate from google app side of things.
Thanks for the input thou

Just add your account to play store on his phone, just don't sync anything else. I did it on my mom's note2.

Hey.
I have just got this awesome phone.
But I can't find a way to sync my facebook contracts with google contracts. Is there anybody who can tell me how to do that.?

You can't. The app doesn't support it. The only contact sync that works is Google+ out of the box.
Okay thanks for the answer. Hope that they will change that soon

That's all up to Facebook. Hopefully they add it back in. The API is available for them to do so in a new version of the app. Google isn't restricting them or anything.
Friendcaster app can sync with the people app in ICS.. But the photo are not high definition!
Nexus devices have always had this feature excluded.

No they have not. I can sync just fine on my Nexus One. Also, it's not that the feature was excluded. Facebook used to have a backdoor API that allowed them to sync in Android that other developers couldn't use. Google removed it in the newer versions of Android. This means that for it to keep working, Facebook would have to update their app to use the public API for contact syncing (that's been there the whole time) and allow the user more control of their own info. They have not done so.
It's Facebook's app that's the problem here. It's nothing specific to the Nexus devices in general. You just notice it more in Nexus devices because they don't have manufacturer created Facebook apps (i.e. HTC's custom made FB app that syncs properly).
Hi All,
how to get the Gmail application asking for a password rather than going straight to my inbox / conversations... ?
Thanks in advance,
Wolf
Sign out? Or get an app that can password protect other apps
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
I can't find any " Sign out " while i am in the Gmail app !
That will be a nice option though ...
I don't think it's possible to sign out of your Google account on your phone. There are probably some third party applications that can hide or protect Gmail.
Alternatively, you could create a second Gmail account and unsync your primary... just a thought I haven't needed to hide an account so I'm not sure what Gmail will do I. That scenario.
Good luck

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Hi All,
what app do you recommend to password protect other apps ?
Thanks
I used to use the one in zd box. And btw, if you force close the app that is password protecting another app it will stop protecting it. So don't find this out the hard way if you're hiding stuff from your wife or gf or whatever lol

I dont wanna try it but if i format system from CWM do i lose contacts/joined ?
You will lose your contacts (and all other data) if you format system. If they are backed up by google though, all you have to do is sync contacts when you sign in on your google account and they will come back.
Is a pain if u also have them saved to sim. Cuz it will double up contacts. Its tedious to do but worth every bit of the time invested in order to get a clean flash. It just how I do it. Just my opinion
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
I save all my contacts to my Google account. None of them are on my phone or sim card so there's no chance of losing my contacts. I can even see/edit them on google.com/contacts

Reason I do it both ways is in the event I was hacked on my goggle. It happens just like any site. Everything is vulnerable to attacks so I rather not take no chances. Just being safe I guess.

If you have the same contacts on both sim and google, you can "display" only one or the other in the contacts app so it doesn't show double.

I guess is just the way I synch it. I open all my emails and such all of them. Just like having all my contacts handy. Is just personal preference.

It has a fuzziness setting that it worked pretty good for me. Also the option to create HTCData links in your google account as a backup for restore

I'm having an issue where once contacts are joint, I lose the google name and it defaults to their facebook name.
This is really annoying for people who don't use their real names on facebook...
Is there something I'm missing where I can default it to the google contact name?

Why does it matter to you??
Anyways op, if I wanted to hide contacts. I'd probably save the contacts to the sim card or to a second gmail account and in the contacts app I would hit menu>Contacts to display and just select to display my main gmail account contacts and not the ones in the sim or secondary Gmail
Sent from Flip's S3
What exactly is your purpose in hiding the contacts? Is it because you are sneaking around on a loved one? Or is it for guilty pleasures like dominos pizza hotline? Maybe even you setup your voicemail as a contact so you can easilly dial it.
An all around solution would be to use a "vault" application. Vault hide is pretty good.
I think it is because a lot of contacts from his Gmail account or fb is showing up so he's trying to hide them?. Or he's a slut. Probably the latter

If you just want to hide some contacts in order not to have them in your list, I'd suggest the configuration of the preinstalled contacts App. But if there are contacts, you want to keep "secret" give "Hide it" a try. It pretends to be an Audiomanager, but you can access a hidden vault by typing in a code. In this vault you can store pics, Videos, texts, contact, etc

ALL - wow, so judgmental...
OP - I hide contacts frequently because I sync my office/exchange contacts but don't care to see them on my personal phone on the weekends...
solution: stock contacts app allows for viewing certain groups - if you really need contacts 'invisible' under passcode on your phone, there are third party apps to do that, or set them on your sim with a sim lock password or on you samsung account online or elsewhere...

I currently live at school so I would like it to use that 9 time out of ten but I don't want to use that as home because I guess I'm just sentimental.
