I have the Galaxy Nexus and have both my old Android account and a new one so that some apps were purchased with one and others with the other account.
OK, I just picked up the 7.7 tab from Verizon and obviously it doesn't have ICS so some things are different. One of those thing is that I don't see how to set up two market accounts so I can get the apps I've downloaded with both accounts.
So, anyone know how to setup two market accounts with Honeycomb?

I think its not possible with HC

Try clearing data from the Market app in Settings and then signing in with your other account.

I've rooted my Fire and installed the Android Market without a problem. When I
first opened the market I logged in with my Google account to make sure everything
worked. Since I got this device for my dad, I'd rather he log in with his own Google
account. I've cleared the app data, and even deleted and re-installed. I can't get
the option to log in with a different google account and it stays with mine. Is there
a solution to this? Has anyone else experienced this?
Without access to the Account and Sync menu, I believe you'll need to uninstall and do a fresh reinstall of the market
I've uninstalled the market and re-installed with the apk. Or is there a more precise uninstall I should be doing?
In the Android development subforum here the long how to install market thread has reference to getting gmail to sync and those posts reference another thread with a link to a Sync Settings app. That will allow you to add another gmail account or delete one in addition to setting up sync items and auto sync. If I knew the post I'd gladly supply it but all I remember is where I found reference to the app.
Then just add your dad's email then subtract yours. Then to market and your set.
Added: found reference in a thread in this subforum on syncing contacts: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19461785&postcount=2

Worked great. I installed "Quick Sync Settings" from the market. Thank you for providing that link.
I just hit "menu" and added an account from the Market. Or maybe GMail. It was pretty simple, really.
The menu from the market app wash giving me the option. Not until I added another gmail account through the sync settings it did.
Hi I have a similar question but just about the amazon app store. I have been using a separate email account to buy apps than the one to buy all my kindles and books. Is there any work around to have both amazon.com accounts logged in or to keep the apps and books installed while I am on my other account or the other?
I have rooted the tablet and have my google market running fine so I might just have to stick to that.
Thank you
Can't you install Anycut from the android market, open it, create new activity, select accounts and sync or whatever the activity is called, and then go from there?
Additionally can you open the Gmail app, menu, accounts, add account...from here, go to the android market and then you should have 2 different gmail accounts to choose between?

Thanks for that. I tried it and it crashes the system. I actually have two account from google on my market, but my main problem is accessing the apps that are registered to my gmail account. Mainly because my kindle account is a separate email and every time you deregister the Kindle it deletes your books or installs the apps.

Thanks for your help
Anyone figure out how to remove the main gmail account without having to do a factory reset? I made the mistake of putting in an email address I didn't want to have added. I've already tried adding a second GMail account and removing the primary and got the prompt to factory reset.

Yeah I was able to remove gmail accounts using anycut. I am just stuck with the amazon drm sadly
Recently updated to 4.2 (yay!), and like it so far. I'd like to set up an account for my granddaughter (yup, I'm old). I've got the account set up (no Google Play account made), but when I went to add applications (that I've paid for under my account) the apps aren't on the device.
Any clue how I can use my account (and apps) on her login? As always, all help is greatly appreciated.
I guess we can can it work in progress Multi-User. There is no way to share paid apps between accounts for piracy reasons. Until they find a walk-around and possibly limit number of users who can be assigned or some sort of "special" offer for multiple-users you will have to re-buy apps.
One way to do it is to login with your account on the guest user, download the apps you want and then remove your account. The apps should still be available to the guest user, unless an app does a market check to see if it's bought by the guest.
This is in theory, I haven't tried it yet.

I've just installed Android 4.2 in my Nexus 7 - and really enjoying the fast user-switching with the builin support for several users.
Though, I can't figure out how account syncronisation is working on the additional accounts.
When I first started the tablet, and associated the "main" account, I got an option to keep the account in sync using my google account.
But, when I created two other users on the tables (which both have google accounts too), I did not get the option to keep the account in sync... And, I now have to manually install all my apps again.
Is there a way around this ?
Were those accounts previously active on a N7?

One of the accounts had been active on it yes. Though, I choose to factory reset and use another account - so I could share it with the wife.
But, with 4.2 we both have an account on there - which is perfect... Except for the fact, that during setup, one cannot choose to restore the account settings from the google-account (Only got that option with the initial main account setup)
Is that really not possible?
bump.... com-on... someone must be using multi-user here ?
So, I originally got this root working under my regular, personal gmail account. Then I picked up a couple more nooks for a project I'm working on and realized, since I'm going to be handing these out to people to use, that having my personal gmail account on there wasn't the best approach.
New gmail account, and presto, I use that when setting up the new nooks. I added the new gmail to the original device too. So far so good. Now, how do I remove the original gmail account? Various googling has brought up a variety of ways to do this with a regular device, but those settings/options don't exist here.
Is there an app that will do this?
Also, since I'm only setting these up to run one particular app, that I load via ADB, it doesn't matter to me whether or not I retain Play market access.
Thanks
Anders
This would be very useful to know. I want to setup a new Nook for a friend and avoid going through the entire preparation and use my IMG to restore and then change gmail.

Recently I bought a Nexus 7. I made my account primary, made a dummy account for my kid and my wife added herself as a user.
I was checking since settings and updates on my kids account and found to my surprise he could access my wife Gmail. More digging and I found all her Google services were cross linked to the kids.
Does anyone know why?
Also, how do I stop this?
Thanks.

Maybe I need to clarify my problem.
Primary User - Me. No one can access anything of mine.
Secondary User - Wife
Secondary User - Kid
Kid opens Gmail, sees his own account and can change to my Wife's Gmail account as well.
This shouldn't be possible. Any thoughts?
That's odd. I just tried with some dummy accounts and old gmail accounts and I was unable to replicate your issue. One thing I'll suggest is go into your kid's account and check under Settings>Accounts>Google and if your wife's email shows up there, remove it. That's the only thing I can think of right now.

Thanks for the reply. I did that and it worked. My wife's account is still there as a "user" as it should, but now the Kid can't see her Google stuff. It was so weird.

Glad that worked. One of you must have accidentally added her account when the tablet was logged into your kid's account. :good:
