This is what testmash is. It's not in my list at the playstore. Uninstall it. You must have picked it up somewhere. Maybe it came with your ROM

Have it in my list as well, also showing as installed. No option to uninstall and says incompatible with my device. Very odd.
I have it on my One X as well. Can't uninstall, even with a third-party uninstaller ("Easy Uninstall"). IF anyone knows how to force uninstall I'd love to know (not rooted currently).
I did have the same app on my One X as well,did a reset reinstalled apps one at a time and it was back after I updated Google Maps(second app updated). As far as uninstalling app without reset it can be achieved with a rooted device. Not sure the ins and outs but know it can be done. Hope this helps some of you.
Me too
New HTC One X - got it this afternoon from AT&T store
OTA update installed.
I'm seeing TestMashed also.
So this is something apparently installed with Google Maps?
Is it possible many people have this as well?
But because it is listed in such an obscure location most users are not noticing...

I do have some details but not much

Apple Patents dispute, Caller ID tie in, now here I read it has to do with Google Maps? (confused)
testmashed again
Thought I was done with TestMashed until I took a look in Play Store. This time I did nothing and it was back going to try to uninstall or delete now that I rooted One X,will repost with results after I'm done. Also did not update Google Maps like in previous post so completely confused now.

how do I update apps like Amazon, photobucket, etc.? I can't update them from the market since I didn't download the from there in the first place.
download it from the market. Just try it. Download it, dispite it not shown in the market as an update. Once installed the phone and your market will see it as an update.

yep
First time I logged into the market, it autoupdated all the junk. Goggles and visual voicemail won't update but that's it.
Yeah, I didn't even find "Visual Voicemail" in the marketplace anymore.
I'm pretty sure that T-Mobile might have pulled it from the market entirely.
Anyway, I can't seem to update Google Goggles either. I've tried several times, but it never seems to actually update and install the latest version.
Would it be safe to use Titanium Backup to remove that system application? Or is that not even possible, considering I've read that people have tried to remove the "bloatware" but it just seems to reappear after a reboot.
Any insights?

Damn, no more HD2 huh?
Yeah you can remove the bloatware from your device. Well, disable not remove. Read on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=809231
Ha.
No way, Jose!
I still have my HD2, it's just collecting dust on my computer desk right now.
I thought about using it as a fly swatter, but that seemed too dramatic!
KIDDING!
But yeah, that thing is legendary, so I couldn't just be rid of it.
And thanks for pointing me in the right direction man, good lookin' out!
If you don't want to disable the app which is very easy to do over terminal emulator, try freezing the app with titanium backup. That way you can see how your phone will work with it disabled. For example if you freeze/disable the stock messenger app no messaging app will work after that until you unfreeze/enable the stock one. Same thing with youtube. If you freeze the app and download the newer one off the market it wont work.
Some 3rd party app depend on the stock app to be functional. Let me know if you need help disabling an app. I'll make a video. I <3 my new camera. I traded a gun for it.
I can't seem to update Goggles...
I've disabled the application, then tried to update it from the marketplace, and still nothing manages to install.
I have successfully updated every other system application through the marketplace, with the exception of Goggles.
How can this application be updated properly?
Have you tried to enable it then update?

Yeah, of course.
But from what I've been told by a few other users... it's a bug in the ROM that doesn't allow certain handsets to update that application.
I mean, unless you have been able it?
Hi everyone,
Got a bit confused now. I've installed some apps from the market and when I go to "My apps" I see a list of installed apps.
The problem is, their status is set as their price tag, like 'free', but not as 'installed' as it should be.
Those apps are still on my phone and they do run, but in this case I don't know if there's an update are not.
Is there a way to fix this, please?
I hope someone has a clue.

Have you tried to restart your phone?
There's this app in the market that is showing up as being installed on my phone after flashing Malice. I have no idea what it is, but it's by OJSC Mobile Telesystems and it's all in Russian. It's been in the market for well over a year, but according to the feedback, nobody knows where this thing came from.
What is this thing?
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=ojsc+mobile+telesystems&c=apps
I found a link to all their apps in the Google Play store, but the one in question isn't showing up in that list.
Same for me. Just decided to show up on my list of app updates today on Market, but I have NO idea where it came from. I certainly haven't seen it or heard of it before.
From reading the comments though, it seems like it may be tied to the Samsung mail app? One person said taht they think it came with the latest Samsung app installer update. They deleted that from their systems app and this MTC thing got uninstalled.
I have no idea where this app would be on my phone if I wanted to search for it...
Same thing here. It just appears as an update from googleplay. No option to uninstall. Any idea? (SGSII with ics stock rom)
Same running BEASTMOD5 and randomly show up. Soviet just flag it and ignore it for now

Anyone else have any luck removing this?

Number five thread? There is no malware from that apparently on your phone. It is an issue with the GOOGLE PLAY STORE. just flag it so they can get rid of it

Same here, Galaxy S2 Skyrocket.
Must have attempted to install from something else (possibly the mail app, but who knows).
I declined it and it doesn't appear to be in the apps list. Flagged in the store with the thousands of others.
Same here. Samsugn Galaxy SII using stock rom. Showed up yesterday.
They are saying it got released using the same code....
It's not a virus but it's not useful anyway
Is it possible to sort the apps in your Library by purchased? I have bought loads of apps over the years and I would love to see what apps I have that I cant remember buying.
Buy when you go onto the Play Store Under My Android Apps/Other apps in my library Its just a list with zero order
How do you guys deal with this?
Thanks
Take it no one has this problem.
You might be able to on the play store website, it would be useful to do this on the app though..

Its such a pain!!! the really old app store (before play store) had it default so you can just see the apps you brought.
If you press menu and then my apps you can swipe across to see all the apps you've installed, no way to sort though.

I find this very Odd Google not put this option on both website or app They is loads of apps I bought on my last phone, that I cant remember if they were good to install again on my OneX. Having this simple option on sorting apps is very much needed.
Well, you can visit the website from your phone and hit the install button.
I have used this previously but I'm not sure if it has been updated recently. It might be worth asking Paul if you can't get it to work.

Edit... it still works. Reboot your phone if you get any issues when you first install the apk.

You not understanding what we talking about. Yes you can go to site and even install from phone, But every single app I have install be it free or payed is mixed together in one big list. So a simple sort button would be great.
Hello,
recently, i decided to root my phone so that i could get the free in app purchases. Whenever i would use Freedom V0.8.4 to do the hack, it would only work for 4 times, and by then the google play store would update. To solve this, i tried disabling the google play store, but that didn't work. So then i did some web surfing, and found that Android Market V2.3.6 doesn't automatically update, so i rejoiced for a moment, downloaded it, and installed it. then when i went to open the android market to make sure it worked, it was nowhere to be found. not in the application list in the application manager, or anywhere else. Then i remembered, before i had installed the market 2.3.6, i had left the "disabled" part checked for google play. Also, when the market had installed, typically it will give you the option of "done" or "open".The only one i could click was "done", as the "open" was not able to be clicked.
Now i am unable to do anything that would require the market. i even tried installing newer versions of the android market, and they either didn't install, or did the same thing as v2.3.6
Please help, i really dont want to do a factory reset.
thanks for any help
My info- att samsung galaxy s3 sgh- i747

Since you're using an app to get free paid apps, you're not gonna get any help.
Don't be a scumbag and support developers.
Have a good day.

Did you try replacing the play store with a a current version and then fixing permissions and not stealing from people that used a lot of their time to bring you content?
