I am about to activate a Droid for my wife, and I would to set her up with her own Google account for email, contacts and such, but be able to download apps using my Google Checkout account and be able to install my purchased apps. Is there a way to do this? I know this is available in the iOS world. I was hoping the same thing would be available in the Android world.

I'm setting up a tablet (Asus MemoPad FDH10, Android 4.2.2) for my mother, and I would love to be able to install the apps I've already bought, but without giving her access to my emails, photos and other data linked with my Google account.
One way is to add my Play Store Account, download the apps and then remove it, but some apps request licence and I fear that there should be some problems with it. Is there any work around?
I have a task here: Share 200 contacts between 200 android phones as easy as possible.Is this possible without having a google account? I have found some apps with backup and import options, but then I would need to add a Google account.I will configure one phone with all contacts, and preferably send some kind of file to all of the other users.
Phone: Samsung galaxy xcover.
Users: Elderly people
Create 1 google account, add contacs, tell all users to sign up with the same account. 200 phones running the same google account.
I'm looking for a solution to connect one android phone to another over bluetooth to share voice and maybe data service. What I want to do is use my old Dell Streak as a GPS/media player in my car without having service to it. I would like it to connect to my current phone so I can make call through it, like a headunit with hands free bluetooth calling. I'm not so much worried about data, though it would be a plus but I don't think Android supports connecting to ad-hoc networks. I can't seem to find any app that supports this, and I'm not seeing anywhere on the Android system where this is possible. I haven't owned a car stereo that supports bluetooth calling so I'm not sure what to look for.

I have 2 phones and I don't want to pay twice for an application on the market. Is there a way to share an application I have downloaded and payed for, once, onto the other phone?
My Google account on my Note 2 is registered under my gmail address for work. Every app I have ever purchased is under my work account. If I were to lose my job, I cannot use that email address anymore, thus losing everything I have purchased. Should I start a new gmail account and start buying apps through it? Can I just add a new email to my phone, or do I need to wipe the data? Can I have two emails where I can access apps through one, but not the other?
View 1 Replies View RelatedJust got the OTA overnight. Installed it this morning and activated the phone with my standard gmail account. I went to install my apps and my purchased apps aren't listed in My Downloads.According to the help for Market I should perform a factory reset. Dutifully reset the phone, signed in and still no apps.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMaybe either through API level, or by querying market info. I want to check on GB before I upgrade to ICS, which apps will not work. Don't know if relevant but it is for SGS II.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI currently have the droid and have had to do a factory reset several times for trying out different programs and unfortunately been stuck on a force closure loop. When I did the factory reset google had all of my purchased apps saved, I had to re-download them all of course. I'm pretty sure that it would transfer over to a new phone but that is only an assumption, I was hoping one of you guys with waaaaaaay more tech and computer smarts would be able to confirm this for me.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI purchased apps, via Google Play, and now can't download them. Not just to my Xoom, but also my SGS2. I've tried all download fix options on the Google site, even talked to a tech (who asked I do them again, and then respond via email).
Another option would be to do a factory wipe/reset. Since I'm playing around with ICS, I decided to revert back to factory on the Xoom and try again. Still no luck. Just stays at "Starting download". No percentage. No little "downloading..." message under it. Can't even cancel it from downloading.
And I've tried the following options:
Cleared the cache and/or data
Uninstalled updates
Logged in and out of the "Talk" app several times
Rebooted
Tried requesting from the store web page on my desktop
Tried over different wifi networks
Tried over Verizon
Tried over AT&T
Tried with ICS 4.0.3
Tried with Gingerbread 2.3.6
Tried with Honeycomb 3.2.6
Tried with a factor reset/wiped Xoom (using .img files directly from the Motorola web site)
I have plenty of free space available
I know if this doesn't get resolved, both of my android devices will have become useless to me.
yesterday I reflashed a tablet with a clean install of cm7, factory reset clear cache etc. Latest Gapps.
I set up the main account with a gmail account I made for my kids because the device is mainly used by them. I added my own google account so it can be used with the play store to redownload all the apps I have purchased for them. I have set the play store to use my google account.
But all the apps I have previously paid for have their price listed beside them in the store, rather than saying "purchased". If I try to buy them again it gives me message saying there was an error with the transaction.I have set up a device with 2 accounts like this before and it worked ok.
My Gmail account was really messed up, so I deleted it and started from scratch, completely forgetting that all of my contacts, apps, etc were all part of that. I am fine with retrieving my contacts, my main fear is having to repurchase applications. Is there anyway I can retrieve my purchased apps on a new account without having to re-buy them?
View 4 Replies View RelatedSo my droid took a "swim" and I will be receiving an Incredible from Asurion in the next couple days. My question is, will the apps that I have purchased for my droid transfer to my Inc? Clearly I don't want to have to pay for them again but if I have to I will.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there an app that I can use to share a number of apps I installed on a webpage including QR-codes, GPlay-links, short descriptions etc.? The apps I know of mostly share text only and/or links but none I found allow me to generate a webpage (or use a site for this) which has all the info in a neat, organized way so that my friends can read the descriptions and decide which apps to download from there.App Brain's API has an app widget that would be somewhat fitting but
1) there is no app to automatically create those based on a list of apps on your phone and
2) it requires people to use App Brain, which some people don't like.Basically, I'd like to have it created automatically and look like the ones used by Android Police (but with links to Play-Store only and no need for ratings)

View 12 Replies View RelatedSo I searched for this but the answers don't make sense. I purchased some apps for the Inc like Doodle jumper and now in 2 weeks I am getting a new phone because mine reboots all the time, So my question is, How do I easily re-install the apps I purchased? The answers keep saying once you log into your google account the phone will know but it doesn't, I tried it on my buddies Inc just to test and it still makes me put in CC info to get D.J. on that phone so i am worried I will have to re purchase any apps when the new one arrives. I tried to backup the apps but I cannot find the purchased ones in the private area unless it is rooted (according to forums)

View 5 Replies View Related1. You need a device running Android 4.2 (no root needed).
2. Create a new user as usual (follow the Android tutorial).
2.5. Verify everything is ok for this user.
3. Once done, go into this new user settings (don't switch back to your main/admin account).
4. Add a new account, this time use the Google account on which you paid for your apps.
5. During the add account tutorial, make sure you unselect ALL syncing stuff. Very important!
6. Go to settings / applications and deactivate all the apps you don't want the new user to access (ex: gmail, calendar, etc...).
7. Launch the Google Play Store and select your main account, make sure you protect application purchase by a PIN.
8. Installed a paid apps under this account.
9. Enjoy!
WARNING 1: I had an issue with Google+ when I deactivated it, it removed the updated version (so when I switched back to my main account, I needed to update the app through Play Store). May happen to other apps.
WARNING 2: I don't know if it's related or not, but in the process, I needed to reboot my Nexus 7, it was slow and unresponsive (a process or app was sucking a lot of CPU cycle). But, it did not happened again.
TIP: Use email app instead of gmail to sync the other user mails.
CAVEAT: Experienced users or clever children may find how to reactivate the apps you locked, so you may want tu use an app locker instead of the "deactivate method".
It's not perfect but it works, it's enough for me. My daughters will enjoy their games and I know they will not mess the system. Tested on my Nexus 7 but I'm pretty sure it will work on all Android 4.2 devices.
I currently have the motorola droid with Verizon, and will be moving out of the country soonish. I have decided I want to buy an unlocked milestone because where I'm going they use GSM. My question is this: are my purchases in the android store somehow linked to my phone, or linked to my phone number, or linked to my google account? When I switch android phones, will I be able to download my purchased apps on the new phone?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI have a question about the way the Android market handles purchased apps.I've seen in other posts where if you upgrade to a new phone, your purchased apps will follow you.But how about if you use more than one Android device? For instance, later this year I may get an Android tablet. Presumably the apps I purchased on my Droid will downloadable on the tablet. But will they remain downloadable on my Droid? And if I purchase an app on the tablet, will it also be downloadable on my Droid?It seems to me that if the apps are associated with your account, then you should be able to download them on multiple devices.I was just wondering if anyone has actually tried and confirmed this.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm new to the whole rooting scene but everything seemed to go flawlessly following the 1.5 to latest root directions, but after rooting my purchased apps are no longer shoing in the downloads section of the marketplace. . I ran a search for the app and the pro version (Tapatalk) isn't even showing anymore, just the free version. Just out of curiosity I followed the directions to revert back to 1.5 stock and upgraded back to the OTA 2.1 and the app shows up again. Anyone had this issue before or know of a fix fo rit?
