Hi,
I play PUBG in my 5t. Don't use FB or G+ so playing as a Guest only. How to save my data, which folder to be precise, if I want to change the phone? If I login via a Google Play Games account then can I shift my data to that account? Logged in from a Google account but the whole thing started from scratch. Logged out from the id and my data was back.
Thanks

Hi All
The main account on my Desire Z is the account I use for my business, which was setup as a google apps account, it works fine for email etc but was never able to be used for Picasa or other google applications.
However, they have just recently transitioned google apps accounts and now they can access all the google applications, however to get them working on your phone, the google website says I'd need to backup my phone, remove the account, factory reset and then readd the account...
I'm not sure I like the sound of this as potentiall I could lose things if I've not backed everything up etc...
Is there anyway I can do this without having to do a full reset? So I can use the newly accessible apps likes picasa etc
Thanks
I am having the same issue - my calendar no longer sync's correctly as it's still attached to the me%[email protected] address, even though it displays the 'merged' account [email protected] Very frustrating!

If you're worried about losing things because you haven't backed everything up then back everything up, it's pretty simple.
Download Titanium Backup or My Backup Pro and back up your apps and data; after you reset your phone, restore your apps and data

I realise that but was just wondering if a reset was actually necessary or not?

I’m running a gingerbread build and I can just go to Accounts & Sync and add a new gmail account and remove the old one.
I don’t know if that’s what you mean though.
I have a primary GMAIL account that is my main one that has all my contacts etc...
When making purchases in Market Place this is the account that the transactions usually take place on.
However, I recently purchased a game on another account (somehow it was logged into one of my other GMAIL accounts) and it's annoying having to switch accounts when trying to play that game.
Because if it's not on the account it was purchased on, the game icon would show up as not being installed on the phone.
Anyone know how to transfer purchases if it's even possible?
the new version of Android Market 3.3.0.0, lets you choose which account to purchase from
Correct, which I'm using.
The purchase has already been made on my other GMAIL account as oppose to my primary GMAIL account...
I'm wondering if there is away to transfer (authentication?) my purchase over form my secondary to primary GMAIL so I don't have to always switch to the secondary to play the game.
Otherwise, I have to keep switching back and forth and it's annoying.

The simple answer is no, they limit this to prevent piracy. You could pull the game from Root/Data/App and try to install it like any other app.
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?

I have purchased many apps and games on my Google account. The games I purchase for my kids to play on their tablet.
I can add my account on the tablet and get all the games to work, the problem is that it is very easy to access the rest of my accounts (email, contacts, messaging, etc...). I know I can go into the settings and disable sync on everything but the play store, but it is very easy to go back in and re-enable them.
I worry because my kids spend most of their time with their mother (my ex-wife). I really don't want her to have access to all my accounts.
My current solution is to use an app lock app to password protected access to the settings. The problem is that all of the settings are restricted. They can't even log into a new wifi access point.
I'm wondering if there is a better way.
Can I transfer ownership of the apps to another account? Maybe I can setup a new "family" account that we can all share.
Is there a way to restrict access to only the sync settings? Or maybe require a password to login to specific accounts (e.g. No password for the play store, but a password for gmail, hangouts, etc..)
Any other ideas?
Open new Google account and transfer all data to it. Leave the old account only for the purchased apps.
You can use the app lock feature of this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.toolbox.full to lock certain apps from prying eyes. You'll also have to install the plugin. Then lock the uninstall apps section to prevent being able to uninstall things.
