Quick question, when apps are moved to the sd card do they stay there when you hard reset? Can I load them back up from there after the reset? If so how? Or do I reload them all from the market? Can't find the answer in search. Thanks

In my experience, after doing a hard reset or wipe, I has to reinstall my apps from the market. Before I do something like that though, I usually sync my phone with my appbrain account. You could try the Titanium App as well.

Great thanks... Not rooted so no true backup for me... But thanks

No problem. I would suggest getting appbrain from the market and sync your apps before doing anything major.

Use astro file manager.

why not? navigate through the sdcard to the removed apps folder, pick the .apk you want to install and tap (don't long press) it. it should then give you the option to install. make sure you have checked the unknown sources checkbox in applications so it will let you install apks from the sdcard.
Click to install...gives me all the access warnings...finishes installing and displays an error message that says it failed ?

Gotcha...thank you..before I try I noticed something... In astro under details of sprint navigation it shows that the file size is 0...maybe the app is missing? I don't understand why it goes through the whole install if thats the case?

You can't just click on the app to install on mikfroyo. You have to push the app to the system apps folder.
Seems as if Google has taken itself off my phone because all my contacts that were saved through Google are now gone.. and my gmail is no longer working
I just did the OTA update pushed this morning, but they disappeared before it
Anyone else have this happen? Thanks guys

FWIW, I'm not having any trouble syncing with Google, but I don't have a Google+ account.
If you have already rebooted, and even done a *228 and Option 1 to confirm programming, then knipp is probably right.
Market and Google apps were messed for me a couple days after the OTA Gingerbread update. Same thing happened to a couple other people. You need to factory reset.
My Google contacts disappeared after the last OTA..and I couldn't add an account... Factory reset is only thing that worked..
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Really? Ugh.. I don't wanna factory reset haha
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
Well this blows. I havent lost any contacts but my phone seems very sluggish and some emails are not showing up. I restarted 2x and resynced my accts. Still nothing.
Will a factory reset cause me to lose all my contacts, pictures, apps, etc?!
Sent from my Transformer TF101 using Tapatalk
It won't erase your pictures or anything else on your SD card. If your contacts are synced with Google, then they'll restore after you go through the setup again. Apps may be restored through Google, (not 100% sure if the stock rom does this), but you won't have your app data such as game saves, settings, etc.
Yea factory restore is kind of a pain. But it may help in the long run. It's always good to put a new OS on a clean system. Factory restore resolved my issues.

I installed adfree. To my phone ...
Then hours later 4 new apps showed up.
There not in play store so I can uninstall them... there not in settings app to uninstall
And I even went as far as to look in root explorer... nothing there either. On the net it says there real apps but I DID NOT PUT THEM THERE! I don't know if adblock is the root cause or what to do I really don't want to do a fresh install.. but it looks like I may have to.... here a pic the apps at the top just appeared ... lookout detected nothing....
Edit: its hard to see but there all like catch a chearter... GPS a cheater... extra.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Wipe Data, Format SD Card, Reflash Rom, do not reinstall apps from Titanium Bakcup, do fresh installs.
The only way to be sure that the malware/spyware is gone.
I have been running adfree for months now and this has not happened to me. There is no way you got this from adfree. You either got it from web browsing on your phone or there is another application you installed that put them there.

That is caused by a already installed app. Uninstall the app before you started to get these ads and they will not show again

Thanks bro... u saved me
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
For a solid YouTube downloader, try Tubemate. You can't get it from the Play Store but you can get it in the Amazon Market or the app's website I believe. No adds or spam, the only problem is it can only download videos for which there are mobile versions. About one in 10 videos doesn't have a mobile version, in my experience.
So, I want to back up the contacts I had on my phone sim card before flashing rom -Aokp task 650-.
I really cant stand that it auto synched all my google contacts. In fact... I think the invention of synch should be completely eliminated it messes up everything.
So I only want to have phone contacts and nothing to do with any synch or email or anything. I think i been clear enough haha.
Also the jellybean limits my options about contacts and sim card and such.
So...what options do i have?
Thank you in advance.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
1. Get GoContacts or GoContactsEx. You can export all your contacts into an XML file. After you load your ROM, simple import the list back.
I would strongly recommend this cos of ease. Plus, you could keep multiple copies of contacts export files.
2. In TiBu, backup contacts storage, and restore later and reboot.

Go into contacts...hit menu... select contacts to display. Then select which ones you want to display i.e. phone, Google, Facebook, etc. Or create customized list. Phone is what is saved to your phone not Google. When you flash it's basically nothing but you

SIM card has limits on number of fields you can store. So if all you store is numbers, this method should work great.

Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You may need to do the same on some other Google apps such as Google services framework and maybe a couple others that work along side the play store app. Can't remember them all right off hand.
When you say you're completely stock does this also mean you are not rooted? If you are rooted you can use titanium backup to backup all Google apps and data. Then clear data one by one till you find the culprit and then restore data for everything else.
Did you try deleting your account?
