Top 5 Ways to Add Google Account in Android Without Syncing
Mehvish

Did you notice that your contacts are appearing on another Android phone? That might be highly confusing at first. The answer to that question is simple. If you had logged into another Android phone using your Google account, then all contacts from that account will appear on that phone. In this post, we shall tell you how to add a Google account without syncing data.
Even when you add someone else’s account in your Android phone, their contacts will start showing up on your phone. The problem is — even though Google lets you stop syncing the contacts, the option appears after the contacts sync takes place. That makes the process useless. In short, you cannot choose what you want to sync from your Google account.
However, here we will tell you various ways to avoid syncing data on Android while adding a Google account. Before that, let’s understand the issue properly first.
What’s the Problem with Google Sync
When you add a Google account on your Android phone — be it a primary or secondary, it starts syncing everything related to that account. For instance, emails, contacts, images in Google Photos, Calendar, Drive, and more. Google doesn’t give you a choice. Now, most users use different Google accounts to keep things separate. Syncing everything to the Android phone defeats the purpose.
There could be many reasons for people to stop syncing their Google data to an Android phone. For instance, I don’t want contacts from all of my Google accounts to show up on my Android phone.
Similarly, when some people buy paid apps from their account, they want to share that with someone else, especially their kids. They do that by adding the Google account on the second device. But by doing so, all their personal data such as emails, contacts, and more show up on the kids’ device. Now that’s bad, in terms of both privacy and safety.
To avoid that, one needs to add a Google account without syncing everything. Let’s check how to do that.

1. Quickly Disable Sync
As mentioned above, Google doesn’t let you choose what you want to sync and what you don’t when you add a Google account. You can disable it after the content has synced. That’s quite stupid.
To avoid syncing things from Google such as contacts before adding a Google account, you need to disable sync quickly.
Here’s how to go about it.
Step 1: Start the process of adding a Google account from Android settings as you would normally do. However, when you reach the last step after entering your password, quickly enable Airplane mode on your phone from quick settings. I recommend that you should do it within seconds.
Step 2: Once enabled, return to the newly added Google Accounts page — Settings > Accounts.
Step 3: Tap on your Google account. Then, tap on Account sync or Sync account.
Step 4: Turn off the toggle or uncheck the box next to the items that you don’t want to sync to your phone. For instance, if you only want to sync Gmail, keep it enabled and turn off the rest.
Step 5: Then, turn off Airplane mode from quick settings. Doing that will bring back the internet services on your phone and resume sync but only for the options that you selected.
2. Disable Apps
The problem with Google data is that even if you disable the sync in the settings, as shown above, the apps still have access to your Google account. Take the case of Gmail.
If you turn off sync for Gmail, the only thing that will stop are the notifications. Meaning, you won’t be notified about new mails. But if the person opens the Gmail app, then they can still see your Google account there. And the new emails will automatically populate by opening the app.
If you don’t want the app to have access to your personal data, you can disable it. Disabling the app will stop it from showing up on your home screen or in the app drawer. Of course, that would mean parting away with other Google accounts too. If you are okay with that, you can disable it in the following way.
Step 1: Open Settings on your Android phone and go to Apps & notifications or Apps.
Step 2: Under All apps, tap on Gmail or any other app that you want to disable.

Start Integrating Google Sign-In into Your Android App
Before you can start integrating Google Sign-In in your own app, you must configure a Google API Console project and set up your Android Studio project. The steps on this page do just that. The next steps then describe how to integrate Google Sign-In into your app.
Prerequisites
Google Sign-In for Android has the following requirements:
- A compatible Android device that runs Android 4.4 or newer and includes the Google Play Store or an emulator with an AVD that runs the Google APIs platform based on Android 4.2.2 or newer and has Google Play services version 15.0.0 or newer.
- The latest version of the Android SDK, including the SDK Tools component. The SDK is available from the Android SDK Manager in Android Studio.
- A project configured to compile against Android 4.4 (KitKat) or newer.
This guide is written for users of Android Studio, which is the recommended development environment.
Add Google Play services
In your project’s top-level build.gradle file, ensure that Google’s Maven repository is included:
Then, in your app-level build.gradle file, declare Google Play services as a dependency:
Configure a Google API Console project
To configure a Google API Console project, click the button below, and specify your app’s package name when prompted. You will also need to provide the SHA-1 hash of your signing certificate. See Authenticating Your Client for information.
Get your backend server’s OAuth 2.0 client ID
If your app authenticates with a backend server or accesses Google APIs from your backend server, you must get the OAuth 2.0 client ID that was created for your server. To find the OAuth 2.0 client ID:
Pass this client ID to the requestIdToken or requestServerAuthCode method when you create the GoogleSignInOptions object.
Next steps
Now that you have configured a Google API Console project and set up your Android Studio project, you can integrate Google Sign-In into your app.

Authenticate Using Google Sign-In on Android
You can let your users authenticate with Firebase using their Google Accounts by integrating Google Sign-In into your app.
Before you begin
Using the Firebase Android BoM, declare the dependency for the Firebase Authentication Android library in your module (app-level) Gradle file (usually app/build.gradle ).
Also, as part of setting up Firebase Authentication, you need to add the Google Play services SDK to your app.
By using the Firebase Android BoM, your app will always use compatible versions of the Firebase Android libraries.
(Alternative) Declare Firebase library dependencies without using the BoM
If you choose not to use the Firebase BoM, you must specify each Firebase library version in its dependency line.
Note that if you use multiple Firebase libraries in your app, we highly recommend using the BoM to manage library versions, which ensures that all versions are compatible.

If you haven’t yet specified your app’s SHA-1 fingerprint, do so from the Settings page of the Firebase console. Refer to Authenticating Your Client for details on how to get your app’s SHA-1 fingerprint.
- In the Firebase console, open the Auth section.
- On the Sign in method tab, enable the Google sign-in method and click Save.

Взяла HTC Wildfire, всё вроде ок. НО не добавляется аккаунт google. Из- за этого не могу пользоваться телефоном в полной мере. сижу и мечтаю как года- нибудь откроется Маркет (

omikudzi,
Что значит не добавляется.
Описывайте проблему ЧЕТЧЕ:
— Что делаете?
— Что ожидаете?
— Что происходит или не происходит?
кстати, думаю у меня тоже самое
проблема вот в чем: есть гугл аккаунт, при входе в маркет с телефона он предлагает подключить аккаунт гугл, ввожу данные, затем экран показывает, мол, выполняется вход, это займет не более 5 минут. затем выскакивает сообщение «не удается установить надежное подключение к серверу для передачи данных. возможно, это временная неполадка либо ваш телефон не поддерживает передачу данных. » и так уже недели две
как бы что делать?
аппарат HTC Hero, ОС 2.1-update1, ПО 3.32.411.2
Если не ошибаюсь, в случае появления ошибки, связанной с «надёжным соединением» надо использовать режим GSM, а не WCDMA.

У меня интернет и по GSM(EDGE) и по Wi-Fi, один хрен, не работает мастер подключения аккаунта. Через проводник нормально захожу. Почему аккаунт отвалился от отправки в picasa непонятно.
Я помню, что когда принёс телефон из магазина, стал первый раз подключать аккаунт, то тоже трабл был — по wi-fi не хотел подключаться ни в какую, пришлось на GSM переключать сеть, тогда проехало. А теперь вообще никак :beee:

Произвёл некие изыскания в сети и оказалось, что проблема с подключением основного/дополнительного аккаунта гугла МАССОВАЯ! И гугл её не решил.
Проблемы есть у людей по всему миру, — с подключением основного аккаунта, дополнительного, через wi-fi и даже после сброса установок до заводских.
У некоторых байда с аккаунтом случилась после обновления системы (как и у меня).
Вот пара тем из форума:
Error adding an additional Google account
Cannot add a Google account via WiFi
В первой теме есть ссылка на программу Android — Add Account (на сайте и исходники), которая «в ручную» добавляет аккаунт.
Программа находится здесь. Ссылки: скачать программу (apk) и исходники.
Сам пока не пробовал.

Замечу только, что обновление я не устанавливал. В разделе инфо о телефоне — Версия ОС 2.1 Update 1. Номер сборки 2.03.405
о пишет ошибку Error: java.lang.SecurityException: caller uid 12345 is different than the authenticator’s uid.
что делать? (HTC legend)
Сам столкнулся на Galaxy S
Получилось только после входа через программу YouTube в аккаунт.
То есть зашел в программу YouTube там в Аккаунты, там набрал свой ЛОГИН (полностью с @gmail.com) и ПАРОЛЬ (в инструкции выше написано что без пароля)
После этого этот аккаунт появился и в общем списке в настройках «Учетные записи и синхронизация».
НО что главное заработал СТАНДАРТНЫЙ аплет по добавлению аккаунтов google (то есть через стандартное меню «Учетные записи и синхронизация» -> «Добавить аккаунт»)
Столкнулся на планшете ZT-180. (android 2.1)
