Weird glitch, need help! - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today, I went to the Market to update some of my apps and ROM Manager automatically started updating. Then, the Market forced closed and whenever I try to open it, it force closes again. In my notification bar it says I am downloading three things, and they are all called ROM Manager. I tried a reboot, but no fix. Then I tried killing all apps, which didn't work. Then I tried to turn data off in settings, and it did nothing. xScope automatically now force closes too.
I have CM7 nightly build #26. Any ideas?

Have you tried clearing the market cache?

Thank you, that fixed my immediate problems!
However, now when I click "My Apps" in the Market, it only shows my purchased apps, and not my free installed apps. Why is this?

Well, for starters, you just wacked your local market cache.
I believe it refreshes with time (has for me in the past). Give it a day/reboot or two and check again.

I think pronghornrunner is right. They should show eventually but it will take some time.

Aren't thanks guys. No worries then!

[Q] removing uninstalled apps from market

when i open up the 'download' page on the market. It seems to show every app i've had on my phone. Even ones that have 'failed' or have been uninstalled show up at 'free'.
Is there anyway to remove these? I've tried clearing the cache/data from the market but still nothing.

Mine usually disappear within a day...or sooner. Sometimes they are gone within minutes when I uninstall something.

Come on people, try Googling your questions before posting them here.
I did a Google search for "clear android market download history" and found this page on the second result:

Go to Settings>applications>manage applications>all then scroll to Qik, click on it and clear data and cache if possible.
There are also two Qiks available to Epic users on the Market.
cleared all the data. didnt help. uninstalled updates because it doesnt allow me to delete the app and reinstalled the updates through the program as this was the only option upon signing in. still failing

Uninstall the update first, remove the system qik.apk (many diffrent ways), use sdxappremover for this, then install one of the 2 in the market, same apps.

Another Market Issue

Setup is in my sig. Yesterday I was going to browse through apps so I open up the market and it says "No matching content in Android Market". If say I go under apps. The paid content area says the same thing, but the free shows up. Yesterday when it did this the free wouldnt show up and all I could see was the paid. After a reboot yesterday paid and free disappeared and all I could see was the VCast apps and now they are gone as well.
Have you tried force closing the market and clearing market data in Settings>Applications>Market?

Did and it did nothing.
What I had to do was shut down the service, clear the data from the market, and then clear the data and cache for the google service. Then reboot. It updated the market to the newest version with the new layout and all is well now.
I think it's a market issue cause it was happening to me yesterday, and I did all those steps.

Auto installing apps from the market.

Anyone know how to shut this off? I have about 40 apps that are repeatedly trying to reinstall themselves daily. I obviously don't want them to andnindont prompt them to. So annoying. Can I shut this off somehow?

Try going into Settings > Backup & Reset and untick automatic restore.
I have the same issue but unchecking that setting didn't work. Still installing the apps over and over again.

Are you using another app store, like app brain or the Amazon app store?

Nope. Only the android market. I tried clearing the cache and turning off the auto update. The only thing I haven't tried (yet) is a factory reset. I haven't figured out what is triggering it yet either.
Have u tried clearing data from Market and Google Framework Services?
or settings inside app market?...

If you are talking about apps automatically updating, then go to the Market/Menu/Settings and uncheck Auto-Update. And while there, if you don't want to be notified when an app has an update, uncheck the notification check box too.
But be aware that apps are usually only updated to correct issues or to add/improve features.
Good luck.

No, but if I do what other data will be deleted? Google accounts?
You won't lose anything, just delete the data and reboot (you're deleting locally, not from the servers). Account will reset it's self. You may still get the auto download, but once you uninstall they should stay uninstalled...
Hit the settings button in the pull down. Select Apps, use the All tab and the clear data button will be under the apps I mentioned...

Amazon app store app stopped working

I have the unlocked US Fire phone running OS 4.6.1. The app store app doesn't work any more. I get a page that says "Looking for something? The web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site." Tried clearing the app's cache. Is this happening to anybody else?
I had this but force quit and cache clear worked for me. Perhaps uninstall updates too and see what happens.

Thanks. Clearing data, in addition to cache, worked for me. I was scared about losing my profile and so forth, but it looks like I lost nothing.
