App wont fully uninstall - Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all,
I have tried searching my issue on the forums and googled it to no avail.
I have an app that I regularly uninstall/reinstall to get a fresh install of the game. For some reason on android it refuses to let go of the data when I uninstall it. I uninstall and reinstall and I'm taken back into the same thing as tho I had never uninstalled. I've tried titanium backup doing a data wipe of the app and uninstalling it, I've tried System Safe App remover and I've tried SD maid and none of them are able to get rid of this data and give me a fresh install. Google searches return no answers. I should also mention that there is no auto backup or auto sync enabled on my tablet both at system level and at app level. Any insight?

[Q] Downloaded apps don't show up in market

Ive searched for thjis bug before, but all the supplied solutions aren't effective. I've tried repairing permissions, clearing cache, reflashing gapps, uninstalling and reinstalling, and nothing has worked. This bug arised right after I tried adding a youtube/google account so I can watch my subscribed channels, but I can't seem to get that to work, as when ever I add my youtube username to the accounts, it adds a @gmail.com to it.... /shrug. I don't want to resort to reflashing my phone, as I don't want to lose all my settings and tweaks. If anyone has any advice or solutions, they would be greatly appreciated.
Here's a screenshot of the "my apps" page on the market.

[Bump]
So I tried installing a Miui rom, and the apps showed up in the market once i restored them from Titanium Backup. I didn't want to commit to the Miui rom, so I reverted back form my backup. Well today I tried installing a Andromadus ICS rom, but I'm still getting the same error. I'd really like some advice or help with this, because I'm really anal about having the most up-to-date apps.
Are these apps that you have restored using TB?
I have seen this on my own device, Setting/Applications/Manage applications go to the market app and clear data/cache seems to fix it.

yea, and some I've also installed from the market, clearing the market cache doesnt do anything.

"Error Processing Purchase" message

I keep getting that damn error whenever I try to download an app from the play store, even when it's free. I fixed it once before by clearing the cache, data, and uninstalling updates of the market but I don't wanna have to do this Everytime I download an app. Anyone have a fix?

Log into your google account and check your wallet. There may be an issue with your payment method. If everything is fine, try deleting the app and then reinstalling the market. You can google "android market apk" to find it, or Google "google play apk". Download and install.
If that still doesn't solve, it could also just be the Google servers having an issue.

might be a ROM issue
I have the same "error processing issue" problem. I often have to clear my market cache/data, which works sometimes. So I called google market play to see if there were any issues in my account, and the rep said there was none. His theory was that there might be some issues with the custom ROM (ARHD) I installed, since I only started having problems after I installed it. Anyway, I think the only solution for now is the clear cache data approach, or better yet, hope that our ROM builders are able to address the issue.
As an aside, my ARHD is working perfectly, except for this market issue (cum hoc, ergo propter hoc?)
I also have a custom rom installed and had this same issue, I resolved it by uninstalling updates for the google play store app, and then it worked...at least for now.
I recently started messing with various roms and themes when this issue popped up for me. I searched the web and tried the various methods (removing gmail account, not updating, etc) with little luck. After hours of frustration, I finally found out what was causing the issue.
I was using Titanium Backup to back up all my files and restore them as I was flashing between the various roms, that was the trouble maker.
When you back up your files before a flash, make sure you do not back up the google/play store. So, if you are having problems, try to go trough these steps and it should fix it.
Back up all your files (minus play store) in Titanium Backup.
Reboot phone into clockwork.
Reset Factory Data x3
Wipe Cache x3
Install your rom from zip
Once your phone is booted up again, do not enable Wifi (for now)
Do not add a Google Account
Go to the market and download Titanium (will prompt to add Google account, do so)
Exit the Market
Go back to the market (it should now have auto updated to play store)
Try to download another app, any app, it should work
You can now use Titanium to restore all your apps and data, but make sure that you do not restore anything with the market/play store in it.
I did this yesterday, restored all my games, contacts, text messages, etc and it has worked fine for me ever since.
I am running slickMOD Supreme with the Darkside Kernel.
Hope this helped at least a few of you as I know how big of a headache this was for me.
All is good now. However, it does still happen with a couple apps, free or paid. I can't remember which ones but it gives the processing purchase error. Very rare albeit still present.

Aloha;
Sounds like an ID mismatch here. Happens whenever you do a factory reset or change ROMs. I'm guessing that the ID is a hash of the phone and the ROM, maybe. Anyway, the device ID is what ties the phone to your Google account and apps use this to determine whether you paid for the installed app or run as a freeware version.
Titanium now offers the choice of reverting the id back to the old one or ignore the change. I prefer NOT to change the ID back as I've ran into more id mismatch problems down the road than just keeping the new ID. I too use Titanium to backup my apps and data, and use it to quickly restore my apps and data to a new installation on my phone (whether it be a factory reset or a new ROM, or even a reinstallation of the current ROM). Whenever I have a misbehaving app that reverts back to the freeware version or complains about licensing problems, I then uninstall the app and then reinstall the app directly from the Play Market. That has always fixed the problem for ME. Your Mileage May Vary, which mean while it works for me, it MAY not work for you. Keep that in mind before you start biatchin that it doesn't work.
Oh, yeah, also try rebooting after the reinstallation. If nothing else, Dalvik and Cache!

I've run into this a few times after doing a restore from a backup or swapping ROMs. Best way I can fix it is go to Google Services Framework, stop it, clear the data. Next go to Google Play, stop it. Uninstall any updates, then clear the data. Reboot phone. Go to Google Play again, accept terms, and now it should work. Just some advice.

Unable to install apps (play store error -24)

Whenever I attempt to install one of my paid apps on my new GSM Nexus (Torque Pro) I get the error in the subject line - Unknown -24. I'm able to install it on any of my other devices and I'm running out of ideas. Any suggestions?
Is it compatible with the gnex?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Yep, it's up and running on my VZW one right now. I did use app2zip to restore my apps on the new Nexus, but many of my paid apps didn't restore. This seems to be the only one which refuses to install, though... I've tried clearing the cache and everything.
Bump. I'm baffled, over here
FIXED. Never using App2Zip again.
For anyone using google in the future -
Remove /data/data/org.prowl.torque from your phone. App2Zip seems to restore the data folder for certain apps even if you tell it to not restore data...

RE-EDIT: after multiple full wipes, rom flashings and reboots, at last I could reinstall my purchased apps!

How Do You Restore Apps After Fresh Wipe? (AppBrain Isn't Working)

Hey guys,
So I just freshly wiped to update to Sourcery's latest beta 2.3.6. I'm liking it a lot so far, but AppBrain isn't working for me. The app works, but Fast Web Installer says it cannot connect to the network. check your internet connection. Even though I am connected via wifi. I tried both wifi and 3g, same message. I tried uninstalling, reinstalling (FWI & AB). Tried restoring app data from tibu. Tried restoring app + data (nothing to lose). No luck.
I'm wondering if Google ever fixed the app restore feature in the market. I remember it used to install every damn app that I have ever installed and there was no way to stop it! I don't want all the apps I have installed in the past, just the most recent ones I had installed.
Can someone shed some light on either helping me fix AB + FWI, market restore, or another way?

I believe if during the original setup you wait until the network is completely connected and you've selected "restore from my Google account" it should restore on it's on right after setup. Just my experience.

I always do for user apps or google apps that are from the same version of googleapps zip. Usually I flash, boot, nandroid, then restore apps and data. I've never had major system instability problems, but occassionally an app freezes quite a bit (e.g. beyond pod). If that happens I just go into the settings and clear out the data for the app.

Ah, okay. I used to do this. I screwed up when I upgraded from ICS to JB and restored. Apparently, a big no no. I think I restored system data as well. Is there an option to just restore App & Data only? Excluding system*

I believe it's the option to "restore all apps with data"
instead of doing "restore missing apps + all system data"

Default app settings problem

I am having a problem getting the default app settings to stick. I have Chrome browser set as my default browser. Everytime I click on a link in a email or in a web page I have to select which browser I want to use. I click on Chrome and select always, then I get the popup notification that I need to go to the default settings and clear. I have done this so many times I can't count them any more. I have tried using the Default App Manager from Google play store but still have to select which browser I want to use each time. I am runing IronRom 2.3.5.
I have exactly the same problem with all apps. Driving me crazy
Maybe we will get lucky and someone will eventually reply with a fix or at least an explanation as to what is causing this.

Is there a chance you are rooted and removed or froze (Titanium Backup) apps to reduce bloat ware? I ask as I lost proper app association functionality after doing what I described. I refreshed my firmware and regained normal association functionality. Unfortunitely I never identified which specific app I needed to leave alone and never had the patience to do a trial and error test so cannot help further.

Press power,volume up, home button together, when it starts unpress power, then delete all cache and data, then reboot. On start you have options to re- install, check new user

The first time I used ODIN to re-flash the stock firmware (5.0.2). That wiped all my user data, but the second time I copied the firmware tar file to the Tab S then used Flashfire to only flash the boot, system and recovery images thus preserving user data. Flashfire will automatically reinstall SuperSU to retaining root. I added the clearing of cache to the Flashfire flash process queue just to be thorough.
If you de-bloated by freezing apps with Titanium Backup then first unfreeze everything, reboot and check if app associations work again. Could save you a lot of time because re-flashing would not be required.
If you de-bloated by removing system apps they will need to be removed again but if you used Titanium Backup to freeze apps they will still be frozen and you will likely still have the issue with app association. I used to remove system apps but I switched to TiBu freeze specifically because when I upgrade firmware (e.g. BOE2 to BOE3) my de-bloat selections are retained. Just more convenient. There maybe slicker ways to get app associations working again but I never found an alternative.
Hope that helps.
