The widget for the Google Play Library (magazine, book, etc.) doesn't display anything. Where is it drawing the info from? Do I have to login separately for it to work?
Are you login to your Google account on your device?

Yes, I'm logged into my main Gmail account, receiving mail and can connect to the Play Store no problem. The other Play widgets work find, however the Library one that shows your magazines, books, etc is completely blank.
Or maybe a widget that allows your Google Play Magazines to be displayed like a magazine rack

I use my sky.com email address to setup my Android devices and for Google online services.
My problem is that Google Play, Music and Wallet are not synced between my phone and when I access online using my desktop.
Anyone out there that uses a sky email address and has a working sync with online services? Anyone with the same problem as me?
Google services only with with associated Gmail accounts.

Sky email uses the Google system, so my Sky credentials work for email and calendar; but not wallet, music and Play store.

Hi Stu,
I am having the same problem. I have spoken with google and they have confirmed that Sky have to activated a number of google services on my account e.g. google books. I am in the process of sending emails back and forward with Sky in the attempt for them to solve the issue. Google gave me the instruction they need to follow, but Sky have yet to accept it is their issue!
I'll post back here if i get it sorted.
CB.
Sorry after re-reading your issue, it may be different to my problem.
CB, what's your current situation now that the sky.com accounts have completely dropped off from Google services?
I'm currently discussing with Google to cover me for re-purchasing all my paid apps using a newly created gmail account.

You can have multiple Google accounts active so just add your old account to your phone. If you don't want contacts, calendar etc, just turn off all the syncs for the old account.

Yeah, because all the apps would be installed on the old account so just add it and untick all of the other sync options.

I'm not using Gmail anymore, and I'm wondering what happens if I just delete my Google account in Settings/Account. Would I still be able to use the Playstore, for example, so I could just download the Google apps I want?
Welcome
This has been my experience - without a google account, none of the apps that require Google Play Services will function correctly or may fail to sync. Play store, play music, hangouts, keep, gmail, calendar, contacts, wallet, drive etc. The phone should function fine otherwise. Some people prefer to use their phone without a google account and are willing to give up the convenience of their services.

i have been thinking about this too, with kitkat it was easy to disable location service which helps with battery life, and now it seems like google is accessing my info more often, . the only google service i use it its maps,contacts and calendar but from that thread above you there is a homebrew alternative.
just use k9mail for gmails.
Cutting the Google Cord?

Doesn't that defeat the purpose? Are there any good alternatives for email service? Not a fan of Yahoo, Live/Hotmail, AOL, what else is there?
So as the title says, I cannot connect to any of the Google apps such as YouTube, Google+, and the Play store. These were all working just a couple days ago, and I would appreciate any troubleshooting tips. Some of the apps, like YouTube, will connect, but have limited functionality. For example, I can connect to YouTube, and I can play videos, but I cannot like, subscribe, or do anything that requires an account. Also things like Gmail and Google+ will load, but I cannot get any new posts/emails
Any suggestions on how I can fix this?

It sounds that google app data doesn't sync. Go to settings accounts your google account and make sour that app data is checked. Maybe that's your problem.

Well, I went there, and saw that the app data was already checked. There was a message at the bottom telling me that "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Any other ideas?
Have you tried forcing a sync of every single item? Removing and re-adding your google account? Those might do the trick. Also make sure your play store and play services are fully up to date.
Note that currently Google Apps / GSuite / Google for work accounts cannot use Google Assistant.
This is same issue as using those accounts with Google Assistant in Allo as well as creating Play Music family plans.
I don't know if that will be changed when/after the pixel is released, but for now if you have one of these accounts you can't even use the neatest new feature on the phone...

How so? I have a gapps account, and have had no issues using google assistant in allo.
That's funny... No one else can. There are massive threads on Google's forums about it, and it was confirmed by the product teams...

I see. Actually they can run assistant, but it has no access to personal information. I.e. "what's on my agenda today" will fail.
That's a shame. I may have to set up a regular Google account for everything that isn't email related just to get this to work properly.
Thank you for clarifying. Yes, I mean (but didn't say) that Google Assistant can't access email, calendar, etc on GSuite accounts. It still works fine for Google searches.
I should have been more clear in my wording!!
I have a regular Gmail account, too. Hadnto do that to setup a family play music account (annoying)... I'll wait and see if it is worth forwarding my email to there it not.
