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.

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.
Suppose Person A and Person B own a Nexus 10 and have logged into their user accounts. Both A & B own two different Android Phones. Now, A purchases an app on either of his devices. Would B be able to use the paid app? On which device(s)?
No. Think of the different users as two different tablets.
If you wanted to share, you could open the play store app, go to settings, and change the Google account to the other person's. This might not always be desirable, but it works great for me. I have accounts setup for my kids, and they each share my play account but retain their own email, calendar, etc. Setting a different account in the play store app does not affect the Google account associated with the device.
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'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?
Alright, this seems really pathetic, but I've been using Swiftkey for the past few years. I decided to give the Google Keyboard a shot tonight just for the hell of it. I have a couple questions because a lot has changed since I've used it.
1: What's the difference in having the "Spell Checker" within the input setting on or off? Google Keyboard still seems to predict what you're trying to type.
2: I can't seem to enable the cloud sync for my predictions. I have a personal Google account and a business Google account syncing. My main account is the personal account, but the option to enable the cloud sync is greyed out. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
