Hi, My HTC magic automatically downloaded the 1.6 software upgrade and kept asking me to install it. I kept clicking "install later" because it would be harder to root my phone if the 1.6 upgrade is installed.
It hasn't asked me to install for a few days now and I would like to know if there is a way to delete the download. I've downloaded Linda Manager but I don't know what the file would be in order to delete it or where to find it.
Is there a way to stop the phone from automatically downloading software upgrades?
Also, if the phone was to be turned off, will it automatically install the 1.6 upgrade? I want to add a better microSDHC in the phone but I don't want to turn the phone off in case it will install the upgrade.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have seen that the new release of microsoft marketplace allows install onto the SD card (finally!) The next obvious question is how do i get this onto my leo? I have looked on the version i have installed but cant find an update option anywhere.
Thanks
when you sign in it usually asks to check for newer versions
it should update automatically when you start it up, the option to choose where it installs is in the settings, at the top it should allow you to select the default install location
for me, it wasn't auto updating, so I uninstalled marketplace from programs, then clicked the shortcut in Start Menu and it downloaded the new version.
Thanks, i had to remove and then use the shortcut to reinstall.
Hi all any help appreciated
I have an HTC HD2, I am currently running the CleanEX rom on WM 6.5 and 2.9 radio.
I have no major problems except
I cannot remove any applications that market place says I have purchased, even if these are free.
I cannot remove them from the app list. I cannot reinstall them, I cannot remove the program from my application list, either from pc or phone. Whatever I do they are still there.
i think this is something to do with Market place as it still lists the apps as purchased and ready to install.
Any ideas how i can remove them. Happy to ignore most but ironically i want one back on and I cannot install it over the current screwed up install.
thanks
In the same boat.
I have one app I want to delete and did but it still shows up in the list even after running uninstall.
I would like to re-install but cant.
Right ive just installed Darkstones Psfreedom build and all works fine with that.
so im going througt the whole procedure of putting things back on my phone(app's ect...) so i noticed that i was missing a few things, went on the market place to download them and no matter what i select it comes up with "Download unsuccessful"?
Any ideas?
Personally I use android commander when ever I need to install an app that wont install or uninstall.
Tried to use root explorer, but after reboot the file appeared again in system apps..
Tried to use terminal emulator that comes with CM 6.1, but got error message "cannot remove , because the folder is not empty" - something like that...
The apps I want to remove are: Maps, Navigation,E-mail,Voice Search,Talk and some others....
By the way, what I shouldn't delete? I mean the apps that can make problems with the system....
Appreciate any suggestions.
Most of those are Google apps so I wouldn't remove them in case you start getting non stop force close errors. If you wanted to remove the files, you would need to have AUFS. Search for it.
Sent from my S-OFF Bell Canada HTC Legend.
hey man,
listen maybe you know what can be a problem with bluetooth in cm 6.1.
can't to connect to pc to send and receive files....
Also can't send files via bt to other phones....
Using windows 7 32 bit.
?
Maybe there is some radio update I should flash?
I'm not really sure but are you using a bluetooth file transfer app?
I only use bluetooth on rare occasions to transfer apps to my Archos...

Right now, I think that when pairing the devices it said that it gonna find and downlaod drivers for this bluetooth device(htc legend), but it didn't - i thing that it's a problem....
But I ca't also send files to other phones....it's strange...

If U can't remove the apps from /system/app then you probably do not have S-OFF - what does recovery screen say? ..
I have the same issue here on my Legend since it is running hboot 1.01.. darn!
But anyway, you can use android kitchen to mod a ROM .. works nice Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633246
Why don't you use an easier method of getting rid of unwanted applications? You can use Titanium Backup, it has a nice exploit discovered by Paul O'Brien from Modaco (more details about it HERE, but if you have CM 6.1 already you are rooted and need only Titanium Back that is already included in CM 6.1 ROM as far as I remember). You just have to go to the apps list, long press on it and from the popup select last option to remove the application.
For BT transfers, look in the Market after an application called Bluetooth File Transfer.

I recently updated my Iconia a500 to the lastest update(unrooted). Since then the honeycomb market first appears when i open it, however if I try to install an app it stays at waiting to install...if I go to my apps from the app it opens it in the pre honeycomb version which is presumably the phone version. After that the honeycomb version is nowhere to be found untill I reinstall it. What might be the solution to this?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Has your tablet always been stock and unrooted..
Did you install the new market on the tablet before acer updated your tablet to the new market.if So where did you d/load it from.. There is a market .apk on the internet that has something wrong with it that causes this.. It installs on your tablet. Not replacing the original Market app. This was asked alot back when the new market first came out.
you can go to where the aps are system/apps and see if there is more then one market app. delete them both .
i went into settings then privacy .untick the backup account and automatic restore data this stops google from restoring data files for both market apps .then find a Legit verson of the android market apk..
Do a search on google for this issue to get step by step instructions. I am writing this out of my memory and it could be a bit off.

Thanks for your reply, my tablet has always been stock and unrooted, and for as long as I can remember has had the honeycomb market interface. Under manage applications there are two instances of the android market, the honeycomb one which can be uninstalled (uninstalls itself when I open the older version also) and the older version which doesn't have the option to be removed only remove updates.
im guessing the one that you can remove is a app that you installed..
I suggest you backup your files. to sd card..
Go to
settings
Privacy ..
and at the bottom you will see factory reset.. this will reset the tablet to total stock and remove the apps that did not come factory installed..
this should fix this issue.. for some reason a update did not remove the old market app or you installed it not knowing or forgot you did so...
Thanks for your help was hoping there was some other solution....I'm considering rooting it and installing a custom rom like what i did with my HTC sensation... once again thanks!!!
unfortunatley this need ROOT privilages.
Download "Market 3.4.4.apk" install with any File explorer app.
It's tuff to make the Market find outdated apps sometimes!
Doubtful : maybe there is a way to have a "market 3.4.4" made into a .zip file, rename to "update.zip" and boot into your stock recovery and it will add in ROM.
