I've tried disabling and I've tried freezing with TBu, but within a day or so they appear back in my drawer along with a notification that there are updates available in the Play Store for them. How can I safely rid my phone of these pests without flashing a debloated ROM?

I'm using the latest GB release from jcase and it seems everyone is using TiBU to restore their apps, but I'd like to have Google automatically restore them from the market. Anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks.
Well the procedure would be to go to the Market on your phone, and look at My Apps. I believe if it recognizes the updated phone as the same phone, all your downloaded apps will show and/or start updating. If they don't show up in My Apps, you can always sign on the web market. The downloaded apps will be listed there under your account, and you can push them manually... not automatic, but only a few clicks to get them all back.
I went to settings/ applications/ market/ force close and data. Everything restored.

Depends on how you have your phone setup...
I think its if Settings -> Privacy -> back up my settings... and the other one there are checked, that the apps will auto come back down if you wipe or flash your phone and reset it up with the same ID. (Not always the best option to have enabled when you are wiping your phone because an APP is causing a problem.)
Another alternative... Appbrain Market... if you install it and sync it, it keeps track of your apps. You can use it to remember and trigger installs of all your Market apps. You can also view/edit/copy your lists from your PC.
If you use the Amazon App Store to purchase/install apps, it keeps track of your purchases and Free installs. But remember that those are NOT seen as purchased via Android Market, so you'd need to use Amazon App Store to install those "paid for" apps first, otherwise if you try to install via Android market (like when using Appbrain) you'll be purchasing them again.
I end up using a combo of Appbrain and Amazon's app store.. So after wipe and add my accounts, I install Amazon's app store, and install any purchased(or free app per day) apps from there. Then I install Appbrain to install any Free/Purchased apps from Google Android Market.
I wipe my rom often, on each install i notice google market trying to download apps i used to have. Its NEVER all of them, its only a few here and there but sometimes it downloads NOTHING. Is there a way to find your app list that market sync's with so that it automatically syncs them every time? Is there a way to edit the list? because sometimes i find that it downloads older apps i removed a while back.
Any help would be appreciated...
I've wondered the same thing. When I used to be stock rooted on Froyo, I would notice my phone would always download all the apps from the market automatically, maybe save for the last couple of apps I downloaded before trying a new rom. But while I use Titanium Backup most of the time, it seems my phone no longer downloads them from the Market on its own. The last time it tried, it downloaded all the apps I have from about 3 months ago. So where am I missing the little option to make sure it always tries to download my most recent apps? I assumed they had always been backing themselves up automatically, but I guess not.
You can use SQLite editor to tinker with the market database. Don't know if that will help. Each installed app is listed in it and whether or not auto update is enabled for that app.

IS that a phone app or something i can do on the computer?
It's Google backup that downloads all your apps back from market, if you are not in 4g or WiFi your phone is screwed for an hour or so of battery drain.

Menu, setting, privacy. Is this checked? This being checked allows google to have those backup and you see this option shortly after the sign in. Mine its not checked because I don't use that feature but this started with Froyo.

a few days ago I was using Titanium Backup to unlink my apps from the android market that I had gotten from other markets so that the market would stop trying to install updates for those apps and when I did this I looked at MY APPS in the market it is now only showing a 2 boxes. 1 reads browse apps and the other browse games. It also says apps and games owned by this account will appear here. Iv'e tried using the market Dr. on TB but it won't fix it. I also tried to force close the market and wiping the data and uninstalling any market updates. I'm hoping I don't have to reset the phone completely. I've also tried fixing the permissions and rebooting into recovery. Any help would be much appreciated. Samsung Galaxy s 4g
I had this issue once before. I fixed it by logging on to market.android.com and when I did I noticed that my apps were missing from there to. I then logged off of the website and then back on and like magic all of my apps were back. I wont garuntee this as a fix but it did work for me

im having the EXACT same problem... and i even tried a full wipe and fresh install of my rom, and all 200+ apps fresh from market to restore ANY broken market links. still no dice. im on sprints epic 4g touch, found this post on google looking for info lol
i use rom toolbox pro.. no problems here
I used Titanium Backup to uninstall something called the "Market Feedback Agent". I then wiped my cache and dalvik cache and rebooted my phone. My apps showed up in the market after I did this.

EDIT
Just download this App Market Fixer by Kstudio from Android Market.
Use it to scan for offending Apps, Note that it requires active data connection. What it basically does is compare your Apps database with the online Android Market Database and then single out the offending Apps. Presently, the only solution it offers is to uninstall the Apps from your Phone which for me is unacceptable because most of them are Samsung Core System Apps like Videos, Galllery etc, you don't wanna lose your System Apps.
When the scan finish just take note of the offending Apps, it would help to write them down. Do not use their Fix tool because it will delete the Apps from your Phone or if you use REMOVE MARKET LINKS ONLY those Apps will give you FORCE CLOSE afterwards. The best option is go to Titanium Backup --> Batch --> Detach User & System Apps from Market --> Deselect all --> NOW SELECT ONLY THE OFFENDING APPS --> Run the Batch Operation --> Reboot.
After this go back to Android Market and all your Apps will be there. If It didn't work the first time, redo the whole process, maybe you missed one App.
This has 99.9% success and I believe it will work for you.
ADDITION
For those of us that Schedule Backups with TB, you have to do some tweaks to your Preferences if not; after such backups, the whole problem will come back again. This is all you have to do:
Go to Preferences --> Deselect MARKET LINK (When backing up an app, save its Market Link. Requires SQlite).
Be aware that this might happen again if you upgrade ROM or restore whole system with TB Backup, but with such Tool at hand, all it takes is less 3 minutes to fix.
Hope this is helpful
Thank you! I'll not sure exactly what I did that fixed it, but somewhere between using Market Fixer and uninstall/re-installing some apps it working again.
Note to self: stop playing with Market Doctor in TB for no good reason.
Hi
Excuse me for being somehow off topic, I'd want the opposite.
I have a few apps (Youtube & windows theme for Go launcher for example) that I hate their updates and I'd like them to not appear on market update list.
If someond knows how to do this, please PM or send a link.
I searched and couldn't find anything. 10x.

In Titanium Backup - Market Doctor will break market links.
Any free solution?

The most recent Youtube update messed things up again, the Watch Later list is now in reverse order showing oldest added video on top and when you remove a video from the very bottom it'll jump back up to the top so you'll have to scroll all the way down again.
I want to set it up so that it won't remind me that there's an update for youtube. Don't confuse this with auto updating as that's turned off. I just don't want it to show up in Google Play with an update.

do you have root?
if you have root, you can use titanium backup. it has a feature that can break play store links to any app, so you can make it that youtube will never see a play store update.

Do you know if that TiBu feature will allow me to turn on auto update and still keep the "detached" apps from being updated? The only reason I turned off auto update was for three apps that I just detached using TiBu.

yea, if you disconnect the apps from the market, youll never get a notification for that app to get updated, nor will it update itself. the market wont know that you have it installed and that it needs an update.
Is anyone else having apps crash and go to recent then won't function? I have factory reset and wiped all cache and still happened. Is this a lollipop issue??
Uninstall android system webview.
Really I will try this to see
Your the best should I disable it? Thank u sooooo much for this!!! I cant say thanks enough. I can't uninstall but should I disable
I used titanium backup to freeze it.
Uninstall the recent update, the older version works fine. Disable auto updates in your play store settings. This will (until Google fixes it) get rid of your lockups
