Two droids. One google account. Profit!

If you have two phones and set them up with the one google account can you get already paid for apps on the both of them?

Actually now that i type that it sounds immoral :rolleyes:

Yes but that second phone will also have your e-mail,calendar and contacts which is a bit silly after all

Have a LG gt540 and am getting a new phone at Christmas. Will all my paid for apps still be downloadable on my new phone ? Don't really want to buy them again.

Yeah i had thought of after, half the usefulness of android is the syncing with google so phone no. 2 needs its own google account.

I was just thinking about it for when the wife has her android and if there was any paid apps i have i could download them to hers under my account. Maybe i could do that then change to her google account

Meh, i don't think i have anything she would need except maybe swiftkey but i don't begrudge paying the few quid if i have to

Yep once you log into your google account theyll be ready and waiting

Yeah, I had some installed on two phones, but under the same account.

Apps are cheap, but not as cheap as some people.

Just so you know you can't do this. If you download apps under one google account you can't change the google account associated with the phone without wiping it and thus losing all the apps

Chet T16

Yeah, thats what i was thinking from reading the link above

Titanium Backup might help...

...restore the original account?

I was thinking just use it to "restore" the paid apps to the new phone, its worth a try
