   I don't even really *understand* what sync does.   
   Why would I need the phone to sync anything?   
      
   I should note that the android account is *not* my gmail account   
   that I use daily. The android account is only a bogus abcdefg@gmail.com   
   style account, just so that I can download from Google Play.   
      
   I copy my pictures and files myself, over to my laptop, so I'm not   
   worried about that kind of data.

   I created a wholly bogus abcdefgwhatever@gmail.com account *only* so   
   that I could use Google Play to download apps.   
      
   Are you intimating that I don't even need the Google Play account to   
   download apps from Google Play?   
      
   (Yes, I know there are other repositories.)
