Hey Paralight,
I'm looking to achieve the same thing. How did you get on after? Did you have any success?

Hi,
when clicking on the (street) address of a contact in the HTC Desire HD contact app, I'm not offered a choice anymore. The default action now is to open the address in the HTC locations application. I used to get a choice between HTC locations, Google Maps, and other navigation programs. I do not want to use HTC locations.
I can't find a way to get the choice back again. I downloaded DefaultApp Reset by T.Fujii from the market and it offered to delete the default actions of HTC Sense and the Browser. I did that, without success. Looking in other threads the advice was to use ClearDefault from the market. I couldn't find that one, but I guess DefaulApp Reset does the same.
I can go to settings > applications > manage applications, and delete default actions of programs. In fact, the DefaultApp Reset just takes you there too. None of the applications I associate with my problem have the possibility to hit "clear default actions", they're all greyed out. I have looked into the following applications:
Contacts
Contact widget
Friend stream and - widget
HTC Hub
HTC Likes
HTC location service
HTC Sense
HTC Sync
Settings
Settings wizard
Location
Locations
Locations launcher
Locations widget
Maps
Settings widget
Street View
Maybe the names are a bit wrong, I'm not using english on my device.
After clearing HTC Sense and Browser with the app, no more new applications show up anymore that can be undone from default actions.
What can I do?

I never had the choice. It always went to Google maps, but now goes to HTC Locations. This came up on another thread - it could have been over on Androidfourms - and there is nothing to change to fix it on a stock phone (that anyone has found - maybe if it's rooted). All I want is to be able to see the full postal address in writing and then, *if* I wanted, to then see it on a 'map'.
After checking a few apps out I went and installed Youlu and it does exactly what I want. Shows the address then launches Google maps if you tap it. It'd be good to be able to change the application that is launched but you can't have everything ....
Dave
Hmm, that would suck. I'm pretty sure I had the choice once....
I figured it out, all of a sudden. When you are in the contact list, you can click on the picture of a contact in stead of on the name. Then you get a small widget that has a Map option to the utmost right. That one opens a window where I can chose between Google Maps and Waze, where I was looking for.
That doesn't solve your problem but does solve mine. Happy again!

You're right. Sort of .... On mine (latest OTA update - the one that was pulled) I get that widget but choosing the map option gets me Google maps. No choices. very strange that touching the address gets you Locations but the map option on the contact picture is Google ..... Me thinks HTC's software engineers need some better QA testing!
Dave
Well the choice I get is between Maps and Waze. So, if you don't use Waze - which you should by the way - that might be the reason you don't have a choice.
Or, it could be that you have ticked the always use this action box. You might be able to undo that, using the method I described in my topic start. BTW, it seems that deleting to many apps' default actions broke up all Auto Sync on my device. Got it up and running now after some fiddling around.
Easy check: download Waze from the market and see if you get a choice.
I'm wondering what the requirements for an app are to show up in the choice list.
wanted to post the same...
... question...
my dhd stock newest OTA update also doesnt ask which maps application should be startet.
it just opens "locations" instead of asking.
thanks for the workaround over the contact list, works fine ;=) but isn't a solution...
best regards,
mike
Any update for this problem ?
searching as you are
sorry, just a few days ago i searched google again.
no solution found :=)
if you find one, please share it
Hey everyone,
As the title states is there a way to remove the AT&T apps from a WP7 yet?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
(Yes, I tried using the search function, no I couldn't find anything relevant sorry if it's been posted before)
any apps that are on the phone which are not there from microsoft can be uninstalled. in the app list, press and hold on any app you do not wish to keep, and there is an uninstall option.
it's just that simple
Hello all,
On the Desire HD, pressing the search button on the home screens launches HTC's Search Anywhere. Is it possible to change this so that it launches the Google Search application?
Thanks,

Just the same question I had. Also wondering if I remove the search anywhere apk from system/app if this would allow me to redesignate the button.
Edit: Removing the search anywhere apk just made it such that the search softkey does nothing now. Ugh.
Wish you could change this. So annoying. Did anyone ever manage to find a way?
Try button remapper, it's on xda.

Woohoo! Thanks to the 2.3 OTA, Google Search has become the default!

Title says it all! Some 'friends' installed some inappropriate apps on my phone and while I uninstalled them, they still remain under My Apps - All.
Any ideas? I'm worried that since this is stored on google's side this will be marring my account forever and I would prefer it not to. Searches have led me nowhere.

Deleting apps from My Apps/My Orders
At this time, there is no way to delete records of old apps either on the Google Play website (play.google.com) or from the My Apps section of the Google Play Store app.
We know that some users are looking for a way to delete old apps from Google Play, and we'll certainly take this into account as we work to improve the Google Play experience in the future.

In Short, you're stuck with it, short of making a new google account and re-buying everything there.
PS: That was item #2 in a google search for : google play remove app from my apps
Haha okay thanks. It's all about how you word your searches, I guess. My searches were closer to the thread title.

Note that I've seen.

SOLUTION: remove old uninstalled apps from your Play list
Even though on Google support page the answer is that it still cannot be done I have just done it on my phone.
The Play version that I have is 3.9.16, for Jelly Bean and I'm running CM10 on SGS3.
You need to go to the Play-> all apps and the uninstalled ones have a mark on the right. now you hold the app for a while and it becomes 'marked'.
Marking additional apps is done by short press. when you've all the ones you want to remove from the list in top right corner there's 'remove' button. Press out and voila, your Play list is cleaned up.
Here's a link to download

Hi guys, I'm having an issue when selecting the "search" shortcut on my ring pad, the phone shuts to sleep as if I locked the device (the other shortcut on the ring pad works fine)
I might have deleted something I wasn't supposed to when I was manually de-bloating apps. I still have the google now app, voice search, and google + all installed and working fine so I'm not so sure if this search function is from Google or an LG Search app that I may have deleted.
Can anyone confirm please, and if you have the apk's I would appreciate a copy please
Thanks in advance!

FYI its best to just freeze apps rather than delete them when you debloat, it has the same effect but is far easier to restore things when you realise something has gone wrong (plus you can quickly see what apps you have removed).

Thanks for your advice mate, in case you srill have access to your stock ring pad, can you at least confirm if that search shortcut is from Google or LG so I can find what I need. Thanks!

I found this thread during a google search of the same problem I found out that freezing or uninstalling voice mate removes the left most icon on the ring pad, hopefully this'll help OP
