I have the option of returning my hero due to a 'dead' pixel. What happens to my apps? When I setup the new phone with my google account, will it know what apps I've downloaded? Not worried about 90% of them, I can just make a list and download them again, but I put CoPilot on earlier in the week thinking they wouldn't agree to replace the phone. Don't want to lose that, a £25 app!
yes, it will know.
Your apps are linked to your account, NOT to the phone.
This has been discussed before and you will be fine.
You may have to contact Co-pilot to tell them you have replaced the phone, so ask for an email from whoever is replacing it just to back that fact up.
but no, you'll be fine.

Co-Pilot you need to deactivate it from your phone before you send it off, then you can re-activate it.
Am I right in thinking the market place only remembers your paid apps? I signed into a second phone and thats all it remembered, all the free apps i previously downloaded I had to do again.
it remembers the paid apps across phones, but not the free apps.
free apps are linked to your account, but only seem to re-appear on the same phone. they also disappear if not re-installed when market is force stopped or has it's cache cleared.
Thanks for the replies, you were right.
I sent my phone back to mobiles.co.uk on friday, this morning I collected it's replacement from the post office. I emailed copilot last thursday explaining the issue, I didn't receive a response but copilot stopped working on friday morning.
I am in the process of setting up the new phone now, I've added my google account, when I went to market and my downloads, copilot is there, its currently downloading again. Very slick.
I made a list of all my other apps, I will now add them back on and I should be back to where I was last thursday. Excellent, no dead pixels either, bonus.
you also can use ATRO File Manager with the build-in app-manger (or download the app-manager itself) to backup evervy app (the .apk files) to your SD Card. If you reset your device, or change it, you can afterwards just reinstall all the apps fromt the sd-card!

So I successfully rooted my phone, removed abunch of bloatware, like verizonbackup, friendstream, tweeter, flickr, and a few others. but now my gmail wont sync automatically, i have to manually refresh my inbox, it doesnt seem to be "pushing" new messages to me and its getting very annoying. Is anyone else having this problem?
I think we will start seeing more and more of these issues as people root the phone and/or remove apps that they think are "bloatware".
Did you try removing and re-adding your gmail account?
I just completed rooting my phone this morning, but only removed City ID. My gmail is working normally, including giving me new mail notifications as soon as emails come in. Maybe you deleted something you shouldn't have deleted.
As an aside, why did people hate City ID so much? I deleted it because everyone else was, and because I wasn't using it, but not really sure what it does.

If you removed the verizon backup assistant you have to do a factory reset, meaning wipe all your data, this could be your issue. I seen somewhere else saying you have to do a factory reset once you remove that.

It nags every 15 days and wants $2.99 a month fee. It is useless since all it does it tell you what the city and state is associated with the caller's area code and exchange. Most everyone knows the local area code and exchanges. if it was a one time $2.99 maybe, but $2.99 a month they are crazy.

I agree. That would be irritating as hell. I have only had my phone for 3 or 4 days, so I hadn't seen any nag screens yet. Now hopefully I won't!

Oh, you will I think the cost is outrageous too, especially since all the program is doing is checking the XXX-YYY-0000 against a data base, where X is state and Y is town.
As for the OP, just go into Applications menu and clear your Gmail and Gmail Storage cache. We used to have a similar problem way back in the dark ages of 2008 G1, when rooted owners would immediately uninstall the Fave 5 application Tmo so kindly put on there, which would immediately erase all Cloud contacts AND break sync
I performed a factory reset after removing everything I didnt want, but I think I read in another post that it might have something to do with friendstream.apk, does anyone happen to have this and can host it somewhere? I'll try removing and readding the email account.

Same here.....looking for the friendstream.apk. On a side note, don't install the friendstream.apk for the evo, as it put me in a nasty reboot loop.
I too am having this issue, but it is only happening to one of my two gmail accounts, one pushes fine but the secondary account I have to manually refresh to get my email. I haven't removed any bloatware from my phone.
Count me in... Neither HTC Mail nor gmail are auto syncing on their own. If I turn OFF then back ON the auto sync (via the power widget) they sync, but any futher emails are not working.
This is on the leaked 2.2 for me
Hello guys
I've been trying few builds of android and install apps from the market.
When switching to a new build, I link my phone with a googlemail account so all the contacts are restored.
Unfortunately also ALL the apps are sync, downloded and installed aswell from the market, without asking me anything. I do not want this to happen.
This happen everytime, no matter whichever build I was using.
Searched first in google, then in xda but didn't find anything. Does it happen only to me? xD
has anyone got a solution?
thx
I don't know how to get rid of this problem, but it's normal, so you're not the only one. The apps you have downloaded in the market are safed in your google account, because some people have purchased apps and don't want to buy them again..
ok
fair enough then.. cheers
Hmm.. Maybe there is a solution. I never tried, but it may work.
After setting up your phone (the first thing you have to do when you boot a new build) go at first to settings > Accounts & synchronization. Sorry dunno how it's spelled in Englisch, using my phone in German There go to your Google Account and remove the ticks at contacts, mail and calendar. Then go to your market and accept the license agreement.
It could be that the market now doesn't install your apps because you don't sync your google account anymore. But if you're using this account for mail and so on this is no option, will see if I find another possibility.
Edit: Found another solution that worked for other users. In a German forum they told you have to skip the setup at the beginning, go directly to settings > SD-Card & Telephone Memory (something like that) and do a factory reset. Then boot again and the market won't install anything. If this doesn't work try to set up your phone at the beginning and do a factory reset then.
That's all I've found. Now I'm out. Tell me if it worked
Cheers

I realised that it only installs the programs that you had installed in the last build.
Therefore all the apps I removed won't sync..
I probably had a bug in my last build that blocked google to complete sync.. damn xD
However my internet is not that fast as I live in the middle of farms & field, so I'm gonna download all the .apk from internet; then I will put them in the folder Android Apps and the new build just install them on the first boot.
But thanks for your research, I may use it later on.. you never know.
Cheers

turn off Google backup, in settings as well as when FIRST setting up Android after hitting the Android on the first screen. One of the few first things is Google Backup, for apps and bookmarks. Disable this.
does anyone have problems uploading to skydrive.i keep getting an error we cant upload pictures right now.try again later.some people have done a hard reset and said it worked but i dont want to lose my apps that i purchased.i wish their was a program to backup up everything including text and other stuff like i was able to do on my rhodium.
Mine does it too. I haven't tried anything to fix it except re-sync my MS Live account, which did not work. When it happens to me I just email myself the pictures.
You are right it is kind of annoying and I can't explain what is going on.
hard resetting your phone will not get rid of your paid apps.... all you do when you reset the phone back up is set the phone up with your windows live account again and go redownload them. It will say "buy" click it and it will say you've already paid for it.
on a side note. My wife and BOTH have the focus and we use our family account as the primary windows live account on the phone. She bought a whole bunch of apps and I had to hard reset my phone... when I did it went ahead and installed all the apps she had purchased onto my phone.... I dont know if it would work with stuff she has downloaded after I initially set up the phone again that second time. I dont want to be dinged buying an app I wouldn't use anyway but, it was pretty surprising to see her paid apps on my phone working fully.
Hey guys...
I finally stopped being lazy and got myself a replacement DVP...
So now my question is since I've gotten everything in order on my old phone...how do I transfer all my contacts and apps to the new phone? Does Zune do it for me or do I have to go download every app again?

APPS: http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/marketplace and log in. It will give you an option to resend the apps to your phone (settings will be lost).
Contacts: If they were stored on Facebook, twitter, and hotmail/live then all you need to do is add those accounts back and then relink them if you have duplicates.
Alright looks like thats all finished up, but do i have to go through and reinstall each individual app?

If you have 10 apps you click 10 links...
Yeah the online market is pretty awesome now. note that the list of previously installed apps doesn't keep track of uninstalled ones though so don't go clicking crazy
My parents, away on holiday, just had the holiday rental place turned over and their stuff stolen including the Nexus 10.
Is there Anything I should do? I don't think it had any bank details etc on it but does have parents email set up (so that needs a new password)
And has my gmail account linked to it, so that needs a new password.
Is there anything else?
If it matters, it's on stock ROM, I'd unlocked it to get stick mount working and titanium backup, think I left the bootloader unlocked.
Thanks

Change all relevant account details immediately. You'd be surprised what someone could get out of a login, especially if you were using a browser that caches/syncs password information (like Chrome). If you do use Chrome, you may want to clear all saved Chrome Sync data-- it's a pain, yes, but that's what you sign up for if you're going to use a syncing service.
In all likelyhood, your device is just going to get wiped and sold (sorry, but it's probably true unless they get confounded by a custom recovery [if you're using one]). Before you reset the password though, you may as well try to push one of the after-event anti-theft apps out on the market (like Android Lost or Plan B) to your tablet in case the thief is stupid enough to leave the tablet on or connect it to Wi-Fi. You never know!
You also may as well try to get your S/N and forward that to local authorities. You may get lucky.
Cheers.
I bought it for them as a present at Christmas so I guess my Google account may have the s/n. I also set it up for them so although mum created her own gmail account I think the tablet is still linked to mine. How do I push a theft app to it and NOT my nexus 4 or my old Desire (now my mum's mobile)?

Go to the Play Store online, search the names of the apps I mentioned, and hit the INSTALL button. It'll bring up a window showing compatible devices; choose the relevant one and away you go. Keep in mind that these are by far and away not bulletproof solutions, and it's more of a "why not" thing than something to rely on.

Thanks. From my phone I can install them on it (my phone), but can't seem to push the app to another device.
Oh well. This is what insurance is for.

The insurance is going to be a lot more reliable than these apps. But yes, you can do it from your phone-- but you won't be able to do it in the Play Store app. You need to do it from the browser version (just navigate to play.google.com, and if it redirects you to the app, go to Settings > App > Play Store > Clear defaults and try again).
Excellent! Prey is now pushing....if it connects that is. So....do I wipe or do I go for location and a photo? Wipe I think!

You may as well go for the location first and send the wipe immediately after. If the app is any good it should handle the requests sequentially.
