Sharing a Google Play account without sharing everything else

[OpenTrackRacer]

I have my Google account also setup on my wife's phone so we can share purchased apps. However, everything else is shared too. For example, even though I have sync for everything on my account turned off, my calendar still showed up on my wife's phone until I disabled it in the calendar app. Also, I can't remove my Google Talk account from her phone so my messages show up on her phone.

This is on a pair of stock Samsung Galaxy S3 phones.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you can.

A better setup would be for each of you to have seperate accounts for everything else, and then have a 3rd account that you only use to buy apps. But if you're already setup this way it might be difficult to switch.

or you can add the account update the apps and remove it. i know its a pain but there is no other way that i know off.
