So this is kinda random, but I'm sure others have run into it.

My wife and I both have Android phones (Gnex) with separate Google accounts, obviously. I have purchased apps on my account that I want to install on her phone, so I log my account into her phone and access the Play Store to install them. All is fine and dandy--works well. But then with my account on her phone, she gets my Google Talk IMs all the time. I have the account set to sync nothing. And I open Talk and manually sign out, but it keeps signing me in automatically. Is there anything to do about this? I want to basically block the account but still have access to it (I know it's crazy talk). lol. Any thoughts or imput? Thanks!

Well...it's possible to freeze google talk,if you're rooted...
But somehow I think play and talk are synced somehow ..freezing talk may create issues with talk

Buying an app from the Play Store only entitles the particular user to use that app. From Google's point of view, you cannot use apps purchased from one account on another account.
Having said that, you can use Titanium Backup to create a backup of apps on your phone & then restore those apps on your wife's mobile. However, this would require you to be rooted.

If your wife doesn't use talk, then this above is a good idea.
I've always uninstalled talk through TitaniumBackup perfectly fine so freezing should not create any issues

My wife uses Talk for her account, so I don't want to disable it entirely. And we're rooted, yes. I install the apks most of the time, but since I own them, I was trying to do the legit thing. =)
