Right i have Touch HD and i installed 2 programs (Icontact and Dead Rising game) but i didnt really like them so i uninstalled them - but when looking in "My Programs" i still have Dead Rising showing up in "Games (1)" and i also have the name of a contact of my phone there as well thats connected to Icontacts as when i try opening it it says something about Icontacts and i have tried everything but nothing i can do will remove them - is Hard Reset my only option left? or is there anything i can do? i have searched the phone for "Read Rising" and that didnt find anything neither did searching for the contact its as if they arent there - except i can see them and its getting really annoying
thanx
i had problems with some things not uninstalling properly as well but i found that if i uninstalled through activsync it worked better
Related
it just started doing this out of nowhere, but i cant even open up my contacts or even click on programs without it saying "no program memory available. tap start, settings, stystem tab, memory, stop programs that did not stop automatically. i tried a hard resest and it worked fine till it reset, then started doing it again. is there anything i can do?
ok, now it seems i can only open media player, but if i click on something such as programs, internet explorer, anything like that it just does nothing. if i hit contacts button it just makes the error beep, and if i hit calander it says the no memory error. could this be a corrupt rom?
I have seen another SX66 do this, I have no idea what the cause of this behavior is, but a rom update couldn't hurt. Good luck!
Does anyone know how to uninstall this? When i try to do it on the phone or over Activesync I get a warning message that it could not remove all of the program and ultimately the entire program is still installed. It takes up too much room for what it does (and I think there's a battery issue with it as well) Thanks

Try using the Uninstall application of this program: http://www.dinarsoft.com/memmaid/ Once the program is uninstalled, just delete the remaining folders and then run the Quick Clean and that should remove all remnants of the Uninstalled program.
Thanks. It helped to remove mobitv and xmradio which were entirely useless to me and took up a lot of room. However, when I tried to uninstall memmaid it left a few bits behind - there are folders remaining in the program directory... in fact the MobiTv icon still exists in my program directory leading me to beleive that it's just deleting a folder and not removing the program from my reigstry, etc. It's a start though. Thanks again
Re: uninstall
This may be a silly question, but was VC cooked into the rom originally or did you install it yourself? If it was cooked in you will not be able to remove it. (As is true for any cooked in application.)
Best wishes,

Quick question; when using MemMaid, did you use the Quick Clean with all items checked? by default not all are checked.
Dead shortcuts
Dead Registry
Bad uninstall (files)
Bad Uninstall (Registry)
These are just a few items I would make sure are checked..
Thanks for the help guys. It was not part of a cooked rom and after checking the boxes on memmaid and rebooting a few times VC is gone (and 5 megs are free). After uninstalling memmaid (it's 900k - I can't keep that around ) it just left an empty folder called "Handyswitch actions" that I'm just going to manually delete. Thanks for the help. I was this close to deciding between keeping Skyfire and outlook

Sorry, during install of MemMaid you could of unchecked the handyswitcher and whatever extras you didn't need and they wouldn't have installed. Glad to see you has some success though.

You can't install MS VC to storage card and have it work correctly unfortunatly.
I've had same issue whilst installing MSVC to storage card and had tp install it to phone. I also had same problem trying to uninstall it. Luckily I wanted to upgrad my ROM which solved the problem
As I've been using my phone I learned there's a new glitch - if I use autocomplete to fill in text or complete an email address, etc it crashes my phone (I think pasting text does too). This didn't happen a day ago so I think there's a connection to the uninstallation of VC. I've reset it 5 times and it's always the same result. The screen becomes nonresponsive, switching to landscape mode takes about 45 seconds and doesn't solve anything and both the onscreen keyboard (Happy Tapping) and the hard keyboard fail to function. If I wait it out I can get the start menu to drop down and get to the Today screen but navigation is still brutally slow there and the email sits. I Use o2plus and it shows apps are running but doesn't state them (it's pOutlook that is frozen). Any ideas? I wish PPC had 'last good state' like Windows... thanks again
I have VC on my memory card and have no problem... Dont know why you have though.

More specifically when installing to SC anything bluetooth related doesn't work.

Installed VC today, no prob's worked great. Then I uninstalled it. Also, no prob's. Autocomplete and everything else works as per norm
Anyone ever have this problem and if so how do you fix?
I have had this happen to me and did research. It was said that if you have over 50 programs or more installed it will show up blank. In my instance of this it was not the case but still showed nothing in the remove programs. The remedy was said to uninstall programs thru active sync first. Didn't exactly work for me. I was flippin frustrated but what I did was uninstall mostly everything. (remember what you had) I then did a few soft resets after every one. Eventually it just showed up. Ironically I remember the last two I uninstalled were vtap the program and wmwifrouter an old version. That's all I can say. It's trial and error but good luck. Better than a hard reset.
Thanks, i monkeyed around with it alot after your post and i think your dead on with the 50 programs theory. Sucks wanted to load it up!
Can anybody please help me?
All my market downloads stall at "Starting download..."
Rom: Stock WWE
Kernel: richardtrips OCUV v14
/Erik97
EDIT: I solved it with a factory reset.
Is your card setup OK in your Google account?
yes, but im not buying any apps.
i cant even download free apps.
I'm having the same/similar problem with newly purchased apps... it seems I have to keep aborting downloading and retry a few time before it works... free apps or previously paid ones are fine.
mine doesnt even download free apps!
It happens to me when phone memory drops below 15 MB, check your memory...
Nah, happens to me sometimes, even though I'm using APPS2SD+, so no memory problems. Switching WiFi on and off and restarting the download seems to sort it out eventually, but I'm not sure it does anything that just waiting wouldn't do. Very annoying anyways.
signing into Google Talk (Talk) solves the problem

Yeah, I used to have the same problem on my Hero, and what StrongOneX says is true....though hardly a solution, more a workaround I'd say.
Just wondered of you'd changed your google email to gmail recently? i did, and google talk and hence market stopped working. Its a bug google knows about, and has not managed to solve for about 3 weeks now! If this is the case, then change it back to googlemail via settings and under accounts tab.
thank you everybody, I solved i with a factory reset.
This has been happening to me as well today, I can't download anything, even if I use wi-fi.
Is there someone else out there with the same problem? (I don't really wanna do a factory reset...)
had similar probs after reverting from froyo rom to mcr 3.1, tried activating gtalk, reboots, on/off wifi, changing gmail accts etc, eventually had to do a factory reset
For me, it turned out that having the "low memory space" warning blocked any download from the Market.
I had to uninstall a couple of apps to resolve this. Very annoying.
my phone doesn't sign in Gtalk neither
it steel hangs on starting download mood! also my modem shows some data transfer
someone help
So only option is factory reset for this?
I get download failed notification....
(3g or wifi no difference)
PLEASE EDIT FIRST POST! This does **NOT** require factory reset: MISLEADING "solved"

THIS is the correct answer: You don't have to do any factory reset. It's a very simple -- ANNOYING YES -- but consistent easy to remedy issue.
Invariably, you will be getting a warning in notification bar about "Empty Space getting low" .... Well, unlike most warnings that you can ignore until it maybe says "NO MORE SPACE", pretty much from the moment you get that notification, the phone blocks you from further Marketplace downloads as a self-protection mechanism. Annoyingly, it doesn't TELL you that more specifically... You just see the list of apps that you thought were downloading in the background instead just stuck in a queue, as though simply trying to connect to the server to start the download. When in fact they are stalled due to LOW SPACE...
Android should solve this by a better form of NOTIFICATION -- at the point where you click "download" or OK, whatever the final screen-action is after you approve the access the app will have to your phone.
THE REMEDY IS SIMPLE, but annoying: and you can do it many ways:
(1) Easiest way is to click on the "LOW SPACE" notification item itself (after pulling down the notification bar) ... That takes you directly to Android's native Apps Removal Tool -- where the best thing to do is first: Sort by FILE SIZE. Then you will have to sacrifice something you probably don't use anyway, or if you do it's rarely -- like a 2nd music/radio player, or YELP type app, or a second Keyboard app or browser... dump it... try to dump about 5 MB
OR
(2) Use your favorite Apps Removal Tool ... The only thing I would say is, I have found that various Apps Removal Tools don't always gain access to things like FONT PACKS you've installed or weather widget icon-packs that you could dump -- whereas the native tool does.
NOTE: Plan on waiting 30 seconds or so afterwards. It isn't instantaneous like when you clear a PRINT QUEUE on your printer by killing a bunch of files -- and then suddenly the printing resumes. For whatever reason it takes a moment or two -- but from the moment that Notification Icon for "low empty space" disappears from the bar, your downloads in queue will RESUME DOWNLOADING in an instant.
---
And now, I am guessing this will all become a MOOT POINT with apps2SD and Froyo! -- but, I still don't have froyo -- and prob some of you others don't either...
Even with Froyo part of the app stays on the phone after transferring it to SD and that's if you're lucky enough to have apps that support the move to SD option.

Unfortunately I have to retype this on my computer since midway through the keyboard stopped working.
I tried looking for any solutions online but got nothing.
Basically the keyboard functions, it registers what I press and gives predictions/corrections however the cursor stays in the same spot in the text box and none of the text can be entered. I don't get the "blah blah not working" window or any error window. I just can't enter text.
I tried going into app manager > All > samsung keyboard and clearning data but no use.
Oddly enough this rarely happens but when it does, it has happened on forums.
Second issue, this one is more concerning.
Today I noticed my samsung calender widget to be completed filled with reppetitive messages. It's the same message about a channel repeated for every single day, with one entry for all the years starting from the 15th for some reason.
It had a couple of entries filled within the task.
Again, I tried going into app man. > all > delete data
but got nothing
on Sam. Calender there is an option to delete repeitive entries that worked but now I'm concerned.
I know that it came from the only television app I had called TV Live (since the text was in russian and it's the only russian app I have) but I don't know how concerned I should be. I tried going through all the big antivirus apps like avast, kapersky, and 2 others but they came up empty.
Any percautions? Advice? Comments?
Anything will be helpful, and I appreciate any constructive comments.
notes: My N2 is the AT&T version, rooted, stock with Xposed framework on it but uninstalled temporarily even though Xprivacy is still working keeping track of all installed apps.
