I got a Samsung galaxy grand 2 lately. Its ringer volume and ear piece ( speaker used for listening when you get calls) are not loud enough. Even speaker phone is not loud enough. I have heard that this is a common problem even among high end galaxy series including the note. Is there a way to make it louder ?

You want me to carry around a speaker along with this 5.25 inch screen device. :D. Already looks like I'm carrying around a ladies purse with this device inside the flip cover .I don't think thats a good idea

yep you can

go to settings,
under "accounts and sync"/"Accounts"
click "Add Account"
Select "Google" from the list
Select "Existing"
Enter Email Id and password
Accept terms and wait
Untick "keep me up to date with news and offers from Google play"
Skip Google Wallet registration
Now you will find a list asking you to sync appdata, calender, browser, contacts etc
untick all except "Sync Gmail"
Thats it.

IMO its not possible or wait for others
i suggest you turn on sync in main setting and cancel sync for specific account only

even i thought the same bro...one possible situation i thought was, to have a different email app for this gmail account alone and turn on sync so that only this app will sync and others wont...i hope atleast this shud be possible !

Try this...
Add gmail account like [MENTION=127004]amjath[/MENTION] posted.
Go to accounts tab on your phone.
Select Google.
Turn OFF all sync options in another account.
Turn off everything except gmail on the primary account.

To disable Facebook sync...
  1. Turn Facebook chat off.
  2. Set refresh interval NEVER.
  3. Turn off location services.
  4. Don't SYNC PHOTOS.
  5. Turn Notifiactions OFF.

Hey, but Facebook is still running in the background!
Yes, it will run for app authentication, but it will not use (almost negligible data use) your internet data :)

mqtt service is used for notification... This clearly explains that Facebook app is poorly coded.

Is it possible to have a different user name appear in the Play store comments/ratings? I do want to give good rating to some applications I like but the fact that my name will be associated with it deters me :(

Nope. You'll have to use a different Google account.
