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.

Google account sync settings?

Rooted fire with Google apps installed. Ive accidentally gotten to the sync settings page when in a Google app but cant figure out how to get back. Specifically, I want to turn off syncing of picassa web albums in my gallery and gmail contacts. SUGGESTIONS? That wasn't supposed to be in caps. The keyboard blows.

This does not appear to work for me since the upgrade to Google Play Store, so here's another way I found: Gmail -> Accounts -> Menu -> Account settings
Accts & Sync
You should be able to change all the settings from Accounts & Sync under the general settings.

Changed main account and installed apps

I was using my google account as the main account on my tab. My wife has since taken it over.
The apps I installed are still on the tab. But they obviously don't show up under her account and as such can't be updated. How can I link these apps to her account?
Open market.
Click function menu.
Click accounts.
Choose under which account u want ur apps to be tagged.
Bingo.

Hi,
I think that most apps using a google account can switch account, just like the market does.

When you say you tried selecting the right account, do you mean on the phone or via PC? I'd try it on your PC if you haven't already.
Yea on the phone....
The installation is not importend in this...I mean just why does this happen??is this normal or some kind of bug....even when i delete all history of previous apps on that account it still shows that account when I want to install the app with my primary account.
can anyone help??

[Q] unwanted conversion of phone contacts to google contacts after reboot

Hi,
I just got a nexus 4 with android 4.2.2. When creating a contact with Go contact, I can chose between phone contact and google contact. When I then create a phone contact this automatically changes into a google contact after I reboot the phone. Why is this and how can I switch this automatic conversion off?
When you first logged into you're Google account when you first got your n4, you left the box ticked that says backup phone content with Google account.
AFAIK the only way to get back to that option is to factory reset

It's a LOT easier to leave it as a Google contact as they'll be automatically restored should you ever change Android phone. You won't have to re-add them
Thanks for your reply. I actually did not leave the box ticked. I also have Backup my data unchecked in settings-->Backup&reset. I also switched off all syncing. Do you have any other suggestion? With andriod 2.2 I did not have that problem. Phone contacts always stayed phone contacts.

Why are you so worried about it syncing to google when you are using Go contacts?
I just want to use google for email not all the other stuff.

Then use a diff email app instead of the gmail one. That way you can have your email and not use the Google contacts.

Thanks for the tip. I now removed the google account from the phone and that works well.

[Q] Google Play Library

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
