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!

(Yeah please excuse the subject typo...rage and all)
So I've just come across an interesting problem. With the Froyo update I took the opportunity to change what I'll call the root profile Gmail address from my personal to work (on Google Apps). Alls well until I go to reload my apps which won't because it's under a different Gmail address. Samsung support says "Nope" it won't combine email addresses.
My question is, will Googs allow this? I've got enough invested in apps that I do NOT want to buy them over again and quite effing honestly, SHOULDN'T HAVE TO.
Something else comes to mind (speaking in future tense now)...if I had purchased them through the Amazon Marketplace this wouldn't have been an issue?

Your purchases are registered under one gmail profile...seems pretty straightforward to me. You couldn't buy apps with one Apple ID and download them on another. Why not sign your original gmail back in and then add the other gmail?

From a developer stand point, I understand why not.
Then I could just register one address with all of my families android devices and they would all have the apps that where only paid for once.
go back to the other email address....
Yeah, just log out and log back into the old gmail account.

I think that is what google does not want to happen, the apps were paid for once from the owner of the purchase. They don't want people adding emails to a google account and giving away paid apps free just by adding emails.
Can't go back to the other address. The phone is for word so I'm using my work address going forward. Meanwhile everything purchased is back with the personal email. Any way to combine them? Quis how do you add another email to your account?

Go to gmail > accounts > add account
You can set either account as your "preferred" account, but you have to have your original gmail account as your main to link the apps you purchased.
I would have to say that i agree with google here. i know it sucks in your situation but you know how many people would take advantage of that. I could buy an app and then let my wife have it on her acct too. like 9kracing said just add both accts to your phone.
Yeah but cmon is that info and warning displayed anywhere?!? I should have the ability to *transfer/move*, not multiple times to multiple accounts but just to another email address. Both are even under the same first name! 1:1 transfer nothing more. As if to say "Hey Google, I'm over here now".
@9kracing: "Go to gmail > accounts > add account" does that work for Google Apps? I'm not seeing that option at all and I've got OPS.

You could forward all work mail to your personal account, and create a filter in gmail to give them a Lable, like "Work" and skip them showing up in your personal inbox.

I looked into this for a long time, simply put, there is no way to swap app purchases from one gmail account to another.
That's really *really* annoying. Thoughts on if using Amazon Appstore gets around this issue?
Why not log into the gmail account that has the purchases and copy them to the sdcard? Then log in as the other account and install them from the sdcard.

I'm a little confused.
When I go to Gmail and hit menu, there is an "accounts" option. Go there. Now at the bottom of the screen, I have a little button that says "add account". I only have 1 gmail so I haven't tried it, but the concept seems pretty simple to me....
Yeah that's simple enough too. Then you can have all your paid apps on your sd card

Well, the apps purchased from the Amazon Appstore is also tied to the account that purchased it, but you can always change the email associated with the account.
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:
I was able to set up Exchange account for Gmail on Nexus 6 but don't even have this option on 6P. I Googled this issue and someone said that I need Google's Exchange Service apk but it's not pre-installed on 6P (definitely was on 6). I downloaded one from mirror they provided and it seems to work now.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ge-services-6-5-1729047-android-apk-download/
I actually could swear that I added this account to my phone as soon as I got it but now this account is simply missing (like the guy said in the last post)
Anyway, why did Google remove this option? Is there some issue? Is this the only workaround or is there a better/right way to do this?
Would recommend you to try Nine Exchange on Play Store instead!
My work has all of the stupid policies enabled and Nine just works wonderful without the need to password protect my whole phone aswell as I just have to password protect the app instead. With the Nexus Imprint you can also open the app with your fingerprint
+1 for Nine. Have been using it for a few years, it's by far the best Exchange client.
I think Inbox might also be an option, but haven't tried it.
Trying to stay with Gmail as I have had no issues until Google removed this support by default for some reason. It works good now as I manually added it.
I really like to have all my emails under same app and I'm used to Gmail.
Does Nine also add events to Google Calendar and integrates this account into Do Not Disturb Automatic Rules? That's another thing I love about Google's integration of Exchange into OS.
It's just strange that Google kept saying that Android are work "friendly" now and then they remove the "native" support for Exchange.
Nine ... Best money I've ever spent on an app. Truly Enterprise level Exchange email client for Android. Their support is phenomenal too. They've personally addressed multiple bugs and enhancement requests I've submitted.

Umm, my 6P on 6.0.1 has Exchange Services already installed. Settings -> Apps -> Three dot menu - Show system. Scroll down, its there. Maybe you didn't know how to add an Exchange account to Gmail? Gmail -> Side menu -> Little down arrow next to your Gmail account -> Add account -> Exchange.
Guess I don't see why you had to download some APK for this.
+1 for Nine, been using it forever. And yes, it integrates with Google Calendar.
Another ringing endorsement for Nine here as well. Phenomenal app and you can still fingerprint unlock the phone, as it's software-level security over device-level (your choice)
And I believe the reason the 'Email' app is gone is because they want us to use Gmail.

Interesting. I definitely did NOT have Exchange Services APK (I specifically checked and I remember it on Nexus 6). And no, I did not have the Exchange option in Gmail until I side-loaded that APK.
Could someone please check if this APK is "uninstallable"? That's the only thing I can think of..... that I manually uninstalled it when I got the phone. At the moment I can only disable it but since I side-loaded it, who knows how it's supposed to be by default..... hmmm, that's actually interesting that a side-loaded app can only be disabled now LOL.
Anyway, it works and I am happy.
Thanks!
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...
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk
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.

Just tried to install Google Voice on my PH-1 with Android Pie. I got nowhere.
I am wondering if privacy setting could have anything to do with it...
If anyone can point me towards someone that has it working that may wish to provide a little tutelage I would appreciate it.
Of course I have a gmail account. But when I installed, I chose the account then I see several pages fly by and then at the bottom is has a box stating to switch accounts.
I am more than a little clueless at this time.

If it helps you at all, I signed up for my Google voice number on the website before I signed into the app on my phone. From there it didn't require any other input aside from setting ringtones. I use it at my daily contact number.
It's working fine for me. Have you used Google Voice before on another phone? The basics should be the same. Once you get assigned a number that's associated with a gmail account, you should be able to go to settings in the app on the phone and set it up. The GV number and the phone number it's forwarded to are in the first part of settings.
