I Am about to receive my transformer, and inevitably my wife will want to use it too
Is there an effective way to have two gmail accounts set up on a Honeycomb tablet so you can switch users easily? I understand that both email accounts can be set up in the Gmail app, but I am more interested in all of the other GIntegration on the tablet (apps from market, calendaring, logins to other apps/accounts we both have eg twitter).
You can use both google accounts in just about everything (incl. the Market), but it doesn't have any way to handle separate users in other apps.
I have bought a Transformer that I am going to give to my wife when I have goten the sleeve.
I have tryed to optimise it and during that prosess I have purchased some applications, when I was going to buy the apps I added my own Google account (due to the fact that I thought card information got stoored along with the Google account on Android Market)
But now when I see under "My Apps" some are stored under my acount and some are stored under her account.
When I give the TF to her I will remove my account form the unit, what will then happen to the apps that are listed under my account in "My Apps"?
Thinking, will they be uninstalled, will they be transfered to her account so that she get notifications regarding updates and so on?
To keep it abit more clean I like to separate questions into different posts (Mod can merge posts if this is not accepted)
I got both my wife's and mie google account added to the TF (for the time being (see post #3)
Google Maps is a standard app that comes with the TF, on her account (in My Apps on the TF) it shows as "Installed", in my account (My Apps on the TF) it shows as "Not installed"
When trying to install it it jumps to the top of the list under "Downloading..." for a brief second before it jumpes down again under "Not installed"
Thumb Keyboard is allso listed under "Not installed" in on my account (My Apps on the TF), this one is not showing up in her "My Apps" and the same thing happens if I try to install this one as happens with the app above.
Another thing that is wierd is that some of the apps have disapared from the "My Apps" on the Transformer, but they do show on our accounts when logged inn on Android Market on the web.
On the Transformer this is showing under our "My Apps":
Wife
Installed
Flash Player 10.3
c:geo ~ geocaching for Android

Google Maps
My account on the TF

Flash Player 10.3

I've done this on my xoom at work (So I could get my spectral souls and thumb keyboard on it). When you remove the account, the apps are NOT uninstalled its only you can't upgrade them anymore. They do not show up in the "My Apps" section, so to update you either have to re-add an account that has it purchased or purchase it with the account on the device.
Thanks for Your answer.
I will just have to check if an update is needed every now and then.
If I understand You correctly then if an app is not in the "My Apps" section (assuming we are talking about the section on Transformer itselfe) then we will not get an notification that there are new updates for that app.
Why have several of the apps I have installed disapared from the "My Apps" section? As one can see from the listing in my post above when I go tot he website version of Android Market more apps are showing there
Allso I have NVIDIA Tegra Zone installed but that dont show in "My Apps" or in the web version of the market. But I find it if I go to "Apps" in the top right and then go to [My apps] (Not to be mistaken for the "My Apps" that is located in the top right screen of Android Market when accessing it via the TF)
It happened on me. I waited 1 hour after I upload my music, but there is no sync or download to my Xoom yet.
It turns out to be my Music app is not somehow updated correctly. I went to the market, which says I already have the latest Music app. But there is no option in Settings in Music at all. Until....
I cleared data in "Manage Applications" and Uninstall Updates for Music app. Then go to Market to install the update again.
Now you will see an option called "Settings" in the dropdown list at top right hand corner. Key in your google account then all sync will follow:

Thank you that worked for me
Hi guys,
what is the exact version of your Google Music App when you upgraded to HC 3.2?
I have downloaded the Google Music App with cloud sync in order to get access to my google music account (I live outside US).
I am wondering if the update to HC 3.2, updated also my Google Music app and kept the access to the google music cloud sync.
Thanks!
The update didnt impact my google music, Im still on the version from the market.
Could you please tell me the exact version?
version 3.0.2.341
Thanks!!!! That solves my problem!
Hi,
If I have downloaded some paid apps for the app store. Can I redownload them as many times i want or do I have to pay every single time?
Google keeps track of your purchased apps.so yes as long as they are current and supported by your os. Also a purchase number is in your Google checkout linked to market
so i will not be charged twice? can anyone else confirm that plz.
Only pay once...Never again.
you shouldn't have to pay as long as you are logging in to the same account they were purchased to or for. That is the way I understood from data viz.
If you setup your device with the same Google account you can download your purchased apps.
it is true. If you log in with the same google account they will show in the market under my apps where you can just install them again for free. Even on different devices, i can install apps on my phone i purchased for my tablet.
Is there a way to get an apk from thr market that supposedly doesn't work for your device? Market will not let me download the onstar app, but downloaded it on my phone, then tried to backup app & transfer to tab, but it wouldn't back up. Did the same thing with MyGMC app & that worked fine (Also runs with no issues on my tab)
Has anybody been able to get Google Play Music All Access running on the MOTOACTV? I've manually installed the latest .apk for Play Music, but when I got to Settings > Select Google Account, no accounts are listed.
Ideally, I'd like to connect to All Access while I'm on WiFi and select a few playlists for 'make available offline' so I can listen while outside running. I already do this with Spotify, but I'd like to be able to use Google.
Thanks.

Which Rom are you using? How'd you install it? Are you signed in to Google Play?
Glad you asked, ClearD. Why, I'm using the best ROM available: ClearDroid ACTV 1.1.9 T5. :good:
I installed Google Play Music by using the Play store on the device itself (and using the market search app included on the ROM).
The Google Play store shows it's associated with my account, and I have what I believe to be the latest version of Google Play Services.
Version info for each if it helps:
Play Store: 3.9.16
Google Play Services: 3.1.59
Play Music: 5.1.1106
When I open Play Music, it asks for me to select an account, but none are listed.
Thanks.
I wonder if an older version might work? I seem to remember someone using an older one a while back...

Hi all,
I have actually had Google Play music indeed work! The default DPI setting is too large to show your account listed, so I changed the build.prop to 90 and used a rotation control app to show more of the application. In the settings, chose account, you then can see a add new account and also a space where your account would be listed. After a little wild clicking in the area, you should be set up to go.
An alternative I first played with was during the initial setup of the motoactv on a new rom, side loading the play music apk and adding your existing Google account through the app before any others.
*an issue* what I've seen is that the first play of any library song works great, even over Bluetooth tethering of the phone. However, something is amiss with caching. the second time listening to the same song, the motoactv will say it plays but no sound will play. Deleting the cache will make the song work again? I've tried both installing on SD and internal with no difference...

Thanks, barczakmark, that worked for me! As for the multiple plays of the same song caching problem, I don't seem to be having that issue.

Hello, didi you manage to get google music login working ?
I get the same "unable to connect to the server to add the account" error.
No, I never figured it out.
I never got it working and never got a reply on here that helped so I ended up reverting to the original set up.
Actually the original set up makes the device more functional for me. I use mine for exercising and running and having to navigate solely by that small touchscreen is near impossible.
