Hi,
I'm trying to see if "My Downloads" in the Market get reset when cache is cleared. I will try and do this by downloading some large apps.
Can anybody list some of the largest apps? It's pretty hopeless looking at them one by one!
Cheers

My downloads
I don't think it will be resetted. One week ago I resettd my G1 to factory settings. When I enteres my Gmail adress to register the phone again, evrything went back. It is saved "in the cloud", it seems.
"My downloads" is a pain in the ... with all the apps you ever installed, even if you uninstalled them afterwards. And: there is no difference between installed apps that can be updated and uninstalled apps. I get crazy with 5 sorts of torch apps, I had installed. I decided to keep only one and when I browse the market to see, which updates are available, I don't remember, which one is still installed an which are uninstalled. Both say "free", when the is an update for the installed one.
It would be nice to be able to sort the apps not only after their name but after their status "installed", "updated" and "uninstalled".
That is my interpretation of the problem too. I have factory reset and it has not removed them. Beyond this some people *still* think they making the cache get so low it resets itself will do it though... I cannot see *how* if it is stored server side (Sufficiently that a "Factory" reset does not remove it [Hell, I should hope after a "Factory" reset there is NO personal info on the device... Certainly wasn't when I got mine new!)... None the less if people think it may work I've nothing to loose.
Shame is I've got all the apps above and (In any other situation good news) other apps are so small it'll take forever to install a sufficient number.
It seems in doing this I've probably made the matter worse as now my "My Downloads" list is huge :/
Any ideas how to clear the list OR very large apps appreciated.
Cheers.

don't think so. All the information is tied to your google-account.
I guess if you register your account on another new device, you would have all the information on the new device. That'S the philosophy of android... have everything in the cloud... contacts, mails, calendar, app list.
On one hand it's good if you loose the device or have to factory reset. I still remember the time I was on Nokia and I had to restore my data after every change of phone or even Software update. On the other hand it's kind of critical in sense of misuse of personal data and ... the my downloads problem.
Admin: maybe the thread should be moved to this one???

Please no not merge. I am the OP of both - The other is mainly about market issues. This is simply about large file size apps so that I can mess around and see if they do help with the issue in the other thread.
Both serve a different purpose even if there is overlap.
Meanwhile, I know for sure that the device doesn't carry the "My Downloads" over to another device - I had two faulty G1s before (1x screen issue and 1x charging issue). Both times I installed things and each device was not aware of what the other had. All, though, were aware of what they had installed on that device, even through a factory reset. I think maybe it is in the cloud but against some kind of device_id+gmail_account key? Not sure...
I have a problem with the Acer "apps" on my a500.
when I launch the eReading, Games, Social and Multimedia shortcuts I get a force close on the process "ApinAp (process android com.acer.app)" I have tried to clear data in "ApinAp" but it did not help... it worked when I bought my A500 a week ago.
but I don't know when it stopped working.
if anyone have a solution or a good idea to try please don't hesitate to answer ;-)
Reset it. There's probably a bad app having it's way with your tablet and causing the instability. If it continues to happen on stock, send it back.
Start installing your apps back one by one with time in between to test. Eventually you'll be able to track down the one app you shouldn't be using.
I have the same problem. After rooting, I restored *a lot* of the backups from my 2.2 phone. I uninstalled some because they didn't play nice with honeycomb, but I still haven't been able to find the culprit. Also, restoring the backup from their original, pristine condition did not help. I would really appreciate it if anyone knows which app(s) is/are responsible for this.

Ideally, you should post all the apps you've installed so anyone coming across this thread can scan what you have and have the chance to see an app that is knowingly bad.
You should always restore to a factory state to make sure it *is* a bad app though. That's the only way to verify if it's Honeycomb or a tablet hardware issue as being the cause rather than a rogue application.
Also, don't install *questionable* apps from *shady* sources. Eventually, this kind of thing will happen.
Well, I have installed lots of free apps, so it would take a while to post them all here. I have removed a few but it didn't help. It could be anything, of course, but I suspect it must be one that has root access. When I tried freezing a few likely culprits, it didn't change anything though.
Do you by any chance use morelocale 2?
I had some force closes and it was because my tablet was using a language that it didn't like (together with my Contacts) so I had to change some settings (use different locale or delete any custom characters from my contact list) and it worked.
I have the same problem. I restored apps from the android market because I couldn't figure out how to make market enabler work in the beginning. Ever since all the native apps are force-closing.

I have removed morelocale2 and the problem persists. However, Even after removing it, the added localisations seem to persist (for example, market is still translated to greek). Does anybody know of a method to completely remove its effects?
Removing locale won't disable it's effects. You can set it and them remove it and the settings will remain as you've set it.
You should reinstall it and then set it back to default settings and see if that helps you problem. My problem was an unsupported language that I've set in it and that caused crashes.
I redownloaded it and reset the settings to English (US). When I did that, the apinap force close message reappeared, so there must be some connection. Then, to make sure, I rebooted and tried the apps. Even though the new/old localisation was working as expected, the acer apps still force close, giving the same error as before.
Odd. Did you enter the info (in morelocale) manually or did you use the two selection buttons and pick the language from there?
I just picked it from the selection list.
Then it's not the same as my problem. But I still suspect that it has something to do with locale.
Do you have any custom characters under your contacts. Because that can cause problems (I've stumbled upon it when I was looking if anyone is experiencing the same crashes as I was).
If you do have them (any greek lethers and such) then try disabling google sync and wiping contacts and see if that helps. If it does than it's your contacts (some people reported that some unsupported characters and multiple notes could cause crashes on tablets).
If it still crashes then just enable sync again and restore the contacts.
I don't know what else you could do if you still experience crashes after that except a hard reset to check if that helps.
Thanks mate, I tried this too. In fact, I also removed everything with any Greek character at all. No luck at all, so I will give it a rest. I will just keep the apps in case they are needed for the 3.1 update.
I never used titanium backup, but if anyone is restoring a full backup set from this application and any honeycomb only settings gets deleted or written over by 2.2 information, you will probably have a crash..
just like flash 10.3 has 2 different libraries loaded, one for 2.2 and one for 3.0 , but only installed one of them, your device with flash will FC, when flash suddenly uses 2.2 libraries.. so not all backups and apps can be easily restored..
you will need to test the apps backed up, and avoid restoring any system settings.
Hi folks,
Dont know what is happening here, but for whatever reason I cannot install any apps from AppBrain or Market.
This problem also exists or is consistent with no matter which ROM that I use, meaning if I use JoeStones, CM7, whatever.
Saying this, I what I can do is download .APK files or apps on my own webspace fine enough. Which then show up in downloads and install fine so just not sure why it is that I cannot install from Market or Appbrain.
The message I get from Market is when clicking install is: Starting Download
And that is it, nothing else happens and it seems to sit on that for endlessly so then cancel it and try to figure out why it wont download so I can install, hence which brings me to here making this post.
Any ideas or possible solutions?
(I have also used the reset factory after doing previous installs with no effect)
Folks, I finally found the answer to my problem to the questions I asked.
For the sake of others whom come across the same problem ever, in this instance it may have something to do with what Modem/Router/Firewall you are using.
The case for me I am using a Billion modem router with firewall set to high and discovered I need to allow TCP port 5228 allow outbound traffic to the exceptions or rules.
This then allows google talk to start straight up and downloads just flew down over my WLAN where I use my phone.
Sorry for all the previous questions or posts, but I never knew that Market downloading was on a Port related task basis.
Good luck to others whom also come across this issue.
Cheers
Same Problme for me..I am using GPRS only how to solve my Problem...
Hi there,
my problem is that I can't download some apps from market. These apps are large (like Angry Birds or similar, bigger that 15 mb). When I try to download a notification appears, which tells me, that it's starting download and then it disappears. And with smaller apps like translator or astrid task list I don't have any problems.
It started about 1-2 weeks ago.
The problem isn't in my network connection - I disabled firewall (droidwall), checked if app will be downloaded on gprs/edge, 3g and multiple wi-fi's (included hotspot made by my friend from his htc, which downloads apps).
I looked over the web to find the solution and here's the list of what I've tried:
1. Log in to gtalk while downloading.
2. Delete market cache.
3. Delete market data.
4. Delete download manager cache&data.
5. Unmount SD card while download is starting (and mount it back).
6. Uninstall market updates.
7. Make '.cache' folder on sd card.
And it didn't work. I didn't try to use factory reset, but I believe you'll find the solution (btw what does factory reset delete?).
Please help me, because I simply don't know what to do next.
Ah, and last thing: I use Android 2.3.5, swiftdroid 2.0 rc4 (based on cyanogen mod 7.1.0 RC1).
Which is the best rom that supports all the things????with out market android sucks
When attempting to update installed apps or install new apps, Play Storee app just gets stuck at the animated download bar. It doesn't actually download anything. No progress is indicated. No data size xxMB/xxMB is displayed. It just sits there with that stupid animated download bar.
I have tried the following, to no avail:
-Rebooted
-Cleared cache thru Recovery Console
-Cleared cache and data for Play Store and Download Manager apps
-Cleared all apps' cache thru Titanium Backup
-Removed and re-added my Google account
Does anybody have any other ideas? I've been trying to avoid a factory reset, as I hate having to redo my apps and homescreens.
FYI - This is an 1838-25U 32GB w/0089US
TIA
Same here?!?!?
Any ideas??
I had the same issue.
I downloaded SD Maid , ran all the "cleanup" utilities available in the free version and it got better
I have this problem too. How do we get sd maid from the app store if we can't download apps?

After updating to ICS, normal Play Store functionality has returned.
how do i update to ICS?
mmmm Ice cream....
Just the standard "check for updates" in the settings/about menu.
If you're rooted, you'll wanna first temporarily unroot using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, and restore root after update.
I flash from 86 to 89.. the market was stuck downloading.
I re-flashed the gapps to a slightly older version of the market. Once booted back into Android, this forced the PlayStore update from google and corrected the stuck download error.
okay thank you i upgraded and it works fine now.
:good::good::good:*RELIEF* :good::good::good:
I was really surprised to come back to the Thinkpad xda forum for this issue after hunting all around the nets for a solution. I wasn't looking for TPT. Hmmmm.
I didn't get stuck until after my ICS upgrade. I've even tried v3.7.11 & 13 of Play, and still no go.
Here's a list of suggestions I've tried and none worked for me:
Rebooting, pretty much between/in the middle of the following (of course)
Clearing Play cache & data
Clearing Download manager cache & data
Launching Market 1.1.0 (that flopped entirely)
Unfreezing Market and Market Updater in Titanium Backup
Three newest versions of Play
Double checking that I can download other stuff from other sources
Enabling (& disabling & re-enabling) background data
Enabling (& disabling & re-enabling) USB Debugging
Downloading apps via wifi on my phones to make sure it wasn't my router, login or somesuch
(Re)Signing in to GTalk
Disabling Avast Firewall
Enabling & disabling Unkown Sources
Clearing out some fairly useless, space-hogging games
And Mercury isn't even retrograde yet.
About 15 minutes ago I contacted Google Play support.
**********************
Addendum: OK, it's 24 hours or so, and I haven't heard from Google. Last night I, too, bit the bullet, by doing a factory reset. I noticed that the Play store version (which I had uninstalled prior to the reset) was 3.7.13 after the reset (with the perfunctory online updating the tablet does). It worked, anyway.
It almost seemed to me like the download process couldn't access something it needed, like a symlink or something was missing and there wasn't any error handling for it, it just kept looking.
It startled me how useless the gadget seemed (I know it wasn't) without being to get my favorite app's crucial updates, most of which require root access for one reason or another. Tech head games. I was definitely more frustrated than the situation warranted.
I started to have this issue on Thursday evening when trying to update all my apps before I even considered the upgrade to ICS. I wanted to get everything straight, test it out and then decide if I wanted to upgrade or wait to see the reports. But, once I tried to update about 12 apps, I got the dreaded "Downloading" issue. I tried all the suggestions listed and even downloaded the version of Play for Jelly Bean, but stopped short of using it. Google support was very nice and tried everything for me at 10:30 P.M. In the end, I just bit the bullet and upgraded to ICS and that solved the trouble. The odd thing for me was we tried to remove Play through the normal channels so I would revert back to Market and then upgrade again. That hosed things nicely. I had market on the device, it was running, but no icon would display. In all, this forced me to upgraded to ICS sooner than I wanted, but as it all worked out well I am not complaining.
Still, it would be nice to know how wide-spread this issue might be and what caused it. I want to think the download of the ICS upgrade was the cause, but I don't have any proof.
Same Result I have Tried Different Devices on MTNL Network
I am using these devices for several months. and all things are fine until this august.
I have tested different devives Like galaxy r, galaxy s2 and galaxy y. All are getting stuck on downloading sometimes. during this i can do surfing, browse other apps and games in play store etc etc. But the downloading still stuck at downloading.
When I tried different internet like mobile 2g and 3g and other network except MTNL. The results are good.
I Think Play Store is blocking my ip address.
If any one has solution please help or someone tell google about this please...
Thank you..
I had the issue.
What solved it for me was running a program called SD Maid.
I ran the one test specific to my SD Card's files, and it worked fine for me after that.
This was on HoneyComb.

I tried to install Google Play Store 4.2.3 It worked.. I tried all the ways listed above.. But not a single one worked
can someone please help me ,i did not not update my phone i got it back from RMA and it would not complete the setup process .
i entered my google account and it kept on freezing and would not set up
failed first 3 times then on the 4th try it it almost set up , i got the new device sign in notification on my other device
but google play store would not sign in or download apps it hung there for hours
when i rebooted the phone it said system update in progress ,the phone was already on 7.1.2
i think huawei puts their own versions on when you send it in,does not seem like a good idea to overwrite to the normal OTA version but nobody seems to know if it is safe or not but i would rather not do it if possible
i held down power and vol down and get to the boot menu but i have no idea what to do or if it is possible to stop the update

First off, boot to recovery mode and do a factory reset. If you don't know how, there are plenty of YouTube videos out there. Secondly you MUST to be able to log into your Google account. You said "it would not log in". Not sure what that really means, but after the factory reset make sure you have SOLID and known working Wi-Fi connection and try the setup again. Once you have logged in to your Google account, it should offer to restore your apps/settings from the last time your old phone was working correctly. If this doesn't work then download the latest full image from Google and install with flash-all.bat using the instructions on the download page.

When you first boot to 7.1.2, it is normal get a popup screen that says it is finalizing updates or completing system updates (something like that) then the popup goes away. Huawei does not have, or install their "own version" of Android on devices. Your problem now seems limited to the Play Store not restoring your apps? Assuming you are logged into the same Google account, you should still be able to see your apps under the "Library" tab in PS. If they are listed there but not under the "Installed" tab then you have a sync problem with the PS. Try force closing the PS, and then clear data and reboot. You can also check the sync status under Settings>>Accounts>>Google>>App Data. If things look normal there (synced recently), then under the 3 dot menu, REMOVE your account and reboot the phone. Add the account back and re-sync.

ok that is just what they told me the last time i RMA and they updated it to 7.1.1
but the phone does not auto restore my apps it only installs the stock apps and under installed it just shows stock apps
under library ti says not installed on this device and then it lists all the apps i have on all my devices logged into that account but they are not categorized by device they are just all lumped in together
instead of being under headings of the device names
i can force close the play store but i can no longer find the clear cache or clear data option anymore ,all it has now is uninstall updates
where my phone booted and froze during restore and then factory data reset was performed again do you think it overwrote the last cloud backup where it had all my apps with the phone status after the factory data reset
where it was blank except for the stock apps, and would there be a way to restore from an earlier backup

They are all lumped together, because apps are by account, not by device.... so it appears they are still there. Under Settings>>Apps>>Google Play Store you will find "Force Stop" button and right below it "Storage". In Storage is where you Clear Data. No, you didn't overwrite or corrupt anything in the cloud. If it was there (your Apps and Settings) it is still there. You can see for yourself on your Drive Account. Log in, open the Backups folder and you will see a time stamp on your Apps and Settings as well as how many Apps are backed up. If these the ones you want and recent, then eventually your phone will sync and d/l them. If clearing PS data/reboot and removing your account/reboot/reinstate does not work you may need to do a fresh install. Especially since a factory reset did not work...... Not the factory reset in Android.... the wipe/factory reset in recovery mode. By fresh install I mean fully wipe the phone partitions and flash a full Google image using flash-all.bat. You have not mentioned Wi-Fi at all, so I'm assuming you have a bad ass Wi-Fi connection and it is working perfectly during the INITIAL SETUP and that is not a factor.

i have no idea what you just said ,no idea how to do any of that ,this is a stock phone , there is no TWRP
how do you wipe and install and flash full google image
wifi is not an issue
yes i am aware apps are linked to the account but this is still retarded , it should put the apps under heading of which devices they were installed on when logged into that account ,now i got apps for 5 phones ago different carrier apps samsung app and all kinds of other **** ****ting up the list
if google had any god damn common sense they would at least include an option to list by device ,show you which apps you installed on which devices when you were signed into the account this is a really piss poor way of doing things , but then again so is everything google developers do
what makes it even worse is that there are apps in there that were not even installed by the account
but that were previously installed on other devices before you sign in like carrier apps and system apps and manufacturer apps all the preinstalled crapware so if you even sing in on a samsung device even for a minute it all gets sync to the list and there is not way to sort it, you can not filter by device

i see a list of my devices and it says 6p , and all it says is last backup has the date i got the phone back and do the factory data reset again ,when i click on it it say 16 apps , but stock apps alone are 32 apps
when i do a factory data reset on the phone i see my device and when i click on it it has the same backup date but
it says 32 apps, when i click it on the phone i see a list of the apps but they are just all the stock apps, when i click the backup in google drive it does not show me a list of apps it just says 16 apps which makes no god damn sense at all
the number of apps do not even match in dive and on the phone, one says 32 the other says 16
i can't even get a list what the 16 apps are in drive, on the phone i get a list but it is just stock apps none of the apps i downloaded on the phone from the play store show up
this is ridiculously piss poor there should be a way to list all the backups in chronological that i can select from , select which one i want to restore from , it only lists the last sync which was after a factory data reset so there are no apps why is google so god damn fuking retarded? looks like it just constantly overwrites your backups and only has the last one it made,so if it fails to backup and you do a factory date reset you are screwed because the last backup will be of a black factory reset device and there is no way to go back and select other backups

In the time it took to write this long Google rant, you could have downloaded ALL the apps you had on the first phone and be half way through setting them up. I have to say Google backup and restore works pretty well for stock apps and data, and for the additional 20 odd non-market apps I use Titanium Backup. From a fully wiped phone anyone can install the OS and all their personal apps including all shortcuts and widgets in about 45 minutes, so I don't know what you are on about for two days now. If app data is that important to you, then invest in Titanium Backup or Flashfire and rely on yourself for backups.

i can't use titanium backup because this is a stock device with major battery issues that has already been sent for warranty 3 times and been given back to me in the same condition with the same issues,early shut down and ridiculous battery drain
i can't root the device because it will void my apparently utterly useless warranty and i'm not sure i want to even do anything to this device now because it has so many issues with boot loops and early shut downs which i am already having since i got it so why would i want to complicate things and take more risks with it by adding root or custom roms when the damn thing don't even work to begin with, nobody can give a definite answer as to why these issues happen so i would rather wait till someone gets to the bottom of it which will probably be never
backup and restore should be simple and straight forward and reliable
it should show you a list of apps in both drive and on the device that you can restore from
not just list one latest one , this is not rocket science it should be part of the most basic functionality of the OS
and it is a mess there is really no excuse for this at all
i bought this thinking i could root flash custom roms and xposed but now i am scared to even power it on
i been waiting for 10 months now to get a device i know is not already fukt and can get over 1.5 hours SOT ,so i could start from a device i know had no known issues ,during this time N gets released and all these issues crop up and huawei and google refuse to
do anything for 10 months except waste my time making me send my phone 3 times only to return it without doing anything to it
and every time i send it in ,3 times now i have this issue and now they send me another label to send it back but will not guarantee i will be sent a replacement i do not have time to be setting up the hone every single week again and again every time i RMA it
this whole thing is ridiculous this post was least of the wasting of my time i can assure you of that
yeah i could have tried to do it manually but i do not remember what every app and setting had was from a phone i have not used in 2 weeks
Well hopefully the 3rd time is a charm and they actually replaced your battery, which likely is the only thing wrong with the phone. Based on the two main reasons you cited for RMA (early shutdown and poor battery life) you should focus on checking the current battery you have and compare the current capacity your battery has against a new 3,450 mAh battery. If your battery is <85% estimated capacity then the battery is degraded and needs to be replaced. It may be worth your time (and sanity) to just buy a battery and have it replaced at a local repair shop. The battery itself sells for under $20. In a perfect world Google should apologize to you and send you a totally new phone, but after 3 RMA attempts that is not going to happen. In reading the many 6P battery threads here on XDA you will find replacement batteries have completely solved the issues 99% of the time. 4.5-5 hours SOT is pretty standard on a 6P with a healthy battery. As for rooting? Well it is undisputed that even on a stock ROM, a custom kernel like EX Kernel or Franco's even on default settings will provide a significant improvement in battery life, with the added bonus of being able to install root apps like Titanium backup. My advice would be to check the battery and if it tests bad, provide this data to Huawei/Google. If they don't explicitly offer to change the battery, then hang up and just order one yourself and have it installed locally.

probably will be expensive to get installed $20 is cheap but it will probably cost $200 to put in, i hear this device is not easy to open at all
it probably was the battery it had severe battery drain before when i sent it in on MM, but now it has early shut down on top of it since they updated it to 7.1.1 and now to 7.1.2
they made it worse plus it has a big chip on the back bezel and a little chip
