I wake up and have 3 emails. All 3 concerning google wallet (dont have or use) pretty much letting me know someone tried making a $10 purchase through google voice which I don't or never used. All this happened today and my Android device has been dead since yesterday. I'm not rooted and don't have shady software. Google has suspended my Google Wallet saying my account has been compromised, but I never downloaded google wallet or used it. Glad my credit card on file is expired.

So I am wondering how my new GT will work with my one google account and my Evo.
For example, when I fist started up the GT it asked if I wanted to sync my google account, which I did. I then noticed that it put a bunch of my existing apps from my Evo onto my GT. So I now assume that any app that I have purchased on Evo in my Google account can be installed on my GT & Evo, is this correct?
Are there any disadvantages to using the same google/gmail account on both my GT and Evo? I would hope that using one account on both devices would mesh well and not cause any issues.
I was then also wondering if I should setup a new google/gmail account and leave my gmail account off just in case I let my wife/daughter use the GT. At first I liked the idea of using one account on both but now maybe not, but then I would have to buy all new apps again?
Guess I am just looking for some opinions/ideas on a good way to use both my Evo and GT together.
Thanks
Using one google account between both of your devices won't cause any problem whatsoever. I've been using the same google account on my phone and my tab (first 7" and now 10.1") for about 6 months without issue.
The Android Market (and Amazon App Store) track by both account and by device. I've managed my Evo and two Tabs under the same Gmail account without any issues.
Its the best way to do it. I have a personal email address "****@zakeen.com" that I send through gmail account and I use the gmail program on all my devices.
I was at the airport waiting for someone to come out and I had my phone there, I was writing an email to someone and the person I was waiting for came out, I just turned my phone off. It saves it automatically in the draft folder and later arriving at the hotel I turned my Tablet on and the email I half wrote was on the top of the Gmail account and I just had to finish the last sentence and send it. Did not have to go back to the same device.
Also I think for the future it will be better, like renting movies and that. I dont know much about it but I am sure it will be linked to account then rather device. So you have access to all your things related to your account for easy syncing.
Its all in the cloud. You could have your singular google account synced across as many devices as you'd like I think. If you go to market.android.com you can choose which device you install apps on.
Thanks for the responses everyone, it def seems best to just use one google account. Unless of course you don't want your significant other to see your emails and gtalk messages. Not that I have anything to hide!
Oh yeah, what about GTalk? Will IMs go to both the phone and GT or is that only one login at a time?
You could definitely have IMs go to both devices simultaneously if you're logged in on both.
Hey all, I have stock,non-rooted,locked, OTA'd rezound.
I've tried everything in the general forums for this problem, so now I'll come here and ask to see if anyone has any other possible solutions.
I've done multiple factory resets today, and tried several different methods of re-adding my google account (which is a google apps for your domain account) so it's not @gmail.com but @mydomain.com
Everything works great, sync, gmail app, gtalk, youtube.. you name it. Great. Even the market place, for downloading 'free' apps.
As soon as I try and download an app I have to pay for I get a little window that pops up that says "Google sign-in You entered the wrong password or your account has changed. Please re-enter your password. Username [email protected]" and then just fails to accept my actual password. (i've tried changing my password a few times too!)
Here's everything I've tried:
1. Clearing the Market App Data and Cache.
2. FactoryReset: try and use the old market app before it gets updated.
3. Youtube account issue: disabled the youtube service on my google app domain, and factory reset- and tried again... no dice.
4. Tried putting on a real @gmail.com domain, and that works just fine. try and switch to @mydomain and it fails again.
I've done a factory-reset before every different style of attempt. I'm guessing something else is going on :-\
When I logon to the market through the web, I can purchase apps and they install without a problem! So it's something to do with the market app.
Anyway, just looking for any other ideas I may have overlooked. You're a pretty thorough community so I think I can trust you all would have something for me to try!
Before my factory-reset, everything worked fine with my google apps domain account.
TL;DR: My google apps domain account I normally use won't let me purchase apps on the marketplace anymore, it says the password has changed but all other google services work just fine!
I remember reading something way back when I first got the phone in late November about people having issues with the Market app. I never had an issue so I didn't pay much attention to it but you should be able to find a thread about it from back then.
Something about using a different apk? Or maybe deleting the app and redownloading it?
Sorry I don't have the actual answer but I thought I could at least point you in the right direction until someone else does.
EDIT: This may not be the same issue but one of the solutions that suggests to clear cache may help you. Can't hurt to try it out.

Are you using Google Two-Step login verification?
Did you accidentally leave yourself logged in to another computer, like at work, where somebody else might have gained access to your account?

Great questions:
No I've turned 2-step verification off.... what if I turn it on, and try and get a different password out of it? I'll give it a go.
Account is definitely not compromised. good to go here.
Break Through Achieved...
My Google Wallet account has been suspended, because when I changed my password I used the google domains administrator panel, and not my google account 'change password'. this made google think the administrator changed the password because the account was compromised.
google wallet has a lengthy but acceptable process for regaining access to your account.
I'll go update all the general forums with this if it works... thanks for all your patience.
Also, google.com/wallet shows a good explination of why all other apps work fine, and not purchases...
Google Wallet Account Reinstatement
Your Google Wallet account is currently suspended. The account was suspended as a precautionary measure to protect your payment information because Google detected that an administrator at your organization initiated a password reset for your email address. However, this suspension only affects your access to Google Wallet, and you should still have access to your other Google Apps services such as Gmail, Calendar, and Sites.
If you would like to reinstate Google Wallet on your Google Apps account, please contact us. You will be required to verify your identity to reinstate your Wallet account.
You may also wish to sign up for a new Google Wallet account using a personal e-mail address, rather than your Google Apps account. Creating a new Wallet account using a personal email address will reduce future suspensions of your Google Wallet account for password changes. If you don't have an alternative email address, you can create a new email address with Gmail for free.

I'm having the same problem (using google apps account, admin reset password, no purchasing market apps etc etc)
When I log in to google wallet, I see the message you posted above, with a link to click to contact google. However, this link just redirects endlessly to the same message.
Can you remember how you managed to get in contact with google to have the suspension lifted?
Thanks
Sul
Here's the link to the account reinstatement application form:

I had the same issue a few weeks ago. I just emailed Google wallet help support telling them the problem and by the next day I got a reply saying something like "we can now confirm that your Google wallet is now working and able to make purchases" Sure enough they fixed it and haven't had a problem since.

Where did you even email them? It's like an endless loop on their help center where you can't get to an actual contact form, just has to match one of their issues. I swear while I like a lot of google services, their support leaves very little to be desired.
Im sorry if i write a lil to wrong thread, but anyway,
i wanna cancel my google play developer account in reason because i can't get payments from them. theres no way to set up merchant account properly with my country bank.
I asked google to close my account and refund, however... i have uploaded one TEST app. witch is nothing. but google wont allow me to delete that app. and thats why they wont refund.
they respond:
"We would like to offer a solution, however. If you are able to find another Android developer to buy or otherwise receive your apps, we will be happy to transfer the apps to the another Developer Console account. Once your Developer Console account no longer has any apps associated with it, we can close the account and issue you a refund"
so, is there someone here who would gladly help and allow google to transfer one test app from my account to his acc? so my acc would have ZERO apps instead of this one test app now. and then i could get my refund :fingers-crossed:
Hello

Issue: Google Account Contacts Sync not working correctly resulting in some contacts missing. The phone shows the same number of Google Contacts as the website shows for Google Contacts, but the phone does not have them all, including our son's contact which is what made this issue obvious.
Stats: Two bran new stock LG V30 phones T-Mobile version purchased from a physical T-Mobile store and running Android 8.0 via LG Bridge software for the update.
Steps taken already:
NOTE: I have never had a phone do this with the Google Contacts before, and I've had many.
NOTE: The issues was present both before and after the Android 8.0 update and before and after any apps installed [I only install from the Play Store no side loads either].
Four times removed the Google Account and rebooted and added account back in, with no resolve.
Three times a factory reset, with no resolve.
Once replaced with another new phone from the T-Mobile store, with no resolve.
Spoke with T-Mobile tech support engineering, of course they've never heard of the issue before, and suggested the steps I've already taken. No resolve.
Emailed LG with no response after four business days. No resolve.
I've tested the Google Contacts on other phones with no issues with the Google Contacts, ZTE ZMax Pro Z981, Samsung Galaxy S5, BLU Bold Studio 6 lte, etc. and all Google Contacts worked fine on all of them.
Added later. Ooops I should have also mentioned that when I force the Sync of the Google Account it often does not do anything, even if I have tested by making changes to a contact or added one.
This is crazy. What to do?

Just spoke with Sandrina from T-Mobile and she helped figure out the problem. The Battery Saver on the LG V30 blocks Google Contacts from being able to Sync, even if you manually go in and try to force Sync. That surprised us both that it would even prevent a forced Sync. But sure enough, turning off the Battery Saver allowed Sync to happen. Thank You Sandrina from T-Mobile.
