Root Google Account

I have a Motorola Triumph. This question is in regards to my google account. When I first bought my triumph phone, I used (what I thought was a temp name for my google account). I have another google account that Ive created, but how can I transfer all my info, apps, phone contacts, etc. to my new google account without losing everything. Thanks for your help.
 
I don't know that you can do that. There may be a way that involves contacting google to get it straightened out but I am not sure where you would do that (market? Gmail? Some other part?) and what you would need to do to prove you are the owner of both.
You can link multiple accounts on your phone though.
Contacts can be backed up to your sd card.
 
It will be easier on a computer.

Go to Gmail with the contacts you want>Contacts>Export as .csv and save.

Open Gmail you want to have those contacts>Import>and voila.

Then you just change the google account you're using in the phone and you should sync right up without affecting your phone apps, etc.
 
If anything you could just set up the phone to sync both accounts.
I've done that with an Intercept and a Triumph. Works just fine, and doesn't require moving things over. However if you're set on moving everything (apps, etc.) you'd probably have to do what agentc13 said and contact Google.

I agree, I have two accounts on my phone and three on my wife's. It is pretty easy to do it that way.
