how can i add another account after i managed to install the play store and service?
i recall the first one i installed when i first opened the play store.
i can't find any place that list that account or allow me to add another.
i will also have to remove the first account later on...

I need this too. Anyone?
You can add another account from almost any Google app (Gmail, Maps, Youtube). Open the app (I used Gmail), slide out the menu from the left and tap on your email address near the top left corner. Then tap on "Add Account"
As for removing, I couldn't find any way other than uninstalling and reinstalling the Play store and all associated services (Services Framework, Play services, Account Manager)

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.
I have a primary account A that I use for everything but I have three other google accounts (used only for gmail). Whenever I click on a link to go to the play store from within an app, it'll load up my account B instead of A. I select A but then it just goes back to B later. Is there a way to hard set it to A all the time?

What is your backup account under settings > backup & reset? The same as account A?

it's Account A.
Here's the whole story. I wanted to buy a ChompSMS license but the only way to do it is through the app > menu > buy license. It then brings you to the play store under Account B. searching for the app license purchase in the play store doesn't show anything either so that's not an option.
what's weird is that i have an account C and D as well, after I deleted Account B, account A would be working to make the purchase. i thought maybe account C or D would kick in but not. Accounts B, C, and D all have the same settings, rather that they're only used for gmail syncs.
I had similar problem, i have account A for irl people gmail and google services & play store, and B&C for other registration purposes, newsletters etc.
On my previous phone i used account B for play store, so on gnex every app from previous phone was associated with account B, so i just deleted account B, downloaded all apps, and added account B again.
Ok, so for in-app billing it doesn't select the primary Google play account. Interesting. I'm not sure if that's due to the in-app billing implementation of the app itself, or due to general Android components handling in-app billing.
Some info here, but no details on how to handle multiple accounts: http://developer.android.com/guide/google/play/billing/billing_overview.html

i'm not sure it's in-app billing since when i click on "buy license" it takes me to the google play store.
Oh no that's not it. Still strange that launching the play store via an app results in selecting a different account. Is this the case with all apps that launch the play store?

Dear all,
Appreciate if someone could give me a hand here.
The Play Store of my My One X stopped working a few days ago. It just could load up and asked me to sign in with a gmail account.
After numerous sign in and failure, I removed my gmail account and add it again. Despite clearing data in the Play Store app and rebooting my phone, it just wouldn't sign in with my gmail.
Any ideas?
Titanium Backup should fix your play store issues. Download app via pc then transfer to your phone. In the menu it should give you some play store repair options.
So when I first got my HTC One M8 it prompted me to choose which google account would as my default account. Does anyone know how to change this again? I purchased an app on one account, then when I re-add my other Google account it wants me to purchase that app again.
What you can do if you have multiple accounts that you have purchased software on is merely not worry about what is default and simply add the other google account.
Then after its added open the play store app, tap the left side 3 bars to bring up the menu, where you see your current account should have an arrow pointing down to the right of it, this will let you select another account to use with the play store.
This is a stock, unrooted Fire Phone. The only thing I did was followed the guide to install Google Play services so I can install GMail, Google Play Store, and add Google accounts. No problem.
Now the phone is going to be used by a family member, and I couldn't figure out how to remove the previous Google accounts already added to the phone.
Please tell me I'm missing something obvious.

Just like with any google play install on any android phone you can't remove the main gmail account attached to google play without a reset.

Nope, not the main account. There are two additional google accounts added to the phone after the original account, and I'd like to remove those two.
