Menu, Settings, Privacy, Clear Private Data, then make sure the "Browsing & download history," "cache," and anything else you want remove is checked. Then Clear data.
And I kinda want the last five minutes of my life back, because I had to download and install the app to see if there was anything tricky to do. And there wasn't. That was ridiculously easy and trivial.

delete the file compimeh.0409.dat
it is in \windows
How do you stop Auto Completed from remembering passwords in the future? Does deleting this file "compimeh.0409.dat" does this prevent new words from being remembered?

Clearing Google Market Info

May have been answered before but searching didn't bring anything up for me. Basically I want to clear the data backed up on my Google account regarding Android (WiFi, Market apps, Settings, etc) so I can start again.
Anyone know how to do it?
OK, managed to find somewhere that if you go into your Privacy settings and uncheck the backup option it says it'll delete everything. Is this correct?
Erm I think so eddy I used to untick it when first install and everythibk would be clear
For reference, the above doesn't work. Tried clearing the lot, wiped all data and reflashed my ROM and it still restored my apps, etc...quite annoying really. I mean, its good, but if you wanna start from a clean slate it would seem you can't!
Erm ok soz buddy

That's OK mate! I'll find a way I'm sure
Quick edit: Turning off backup DOES delete settings relating to the phone but NOT the Market. Must be a separate backup which I can't find!
EDIT: OK, sign into your Google Dashboard and you can see what's backed up and when but you CANNOT delete it. Why the hell not?!?!

Hi,
Is it one of those situations where they have you by the short and curlies,and will not let you go?
Maybe the only way is to open a new account?
I seem to remember AOL being the same...
Bloody well hope not! I've emailed Google so we'll see what comes of it but surely if you delete an app it should NOT come back the next time!
On a related note, anyone know why some apps I install are NOT listed under 'My Apps'? I'm guessing it's linked to my account somehow but, again, it's annoying!
Erm depends if they where downloaded from Google it self or if sourced from some where else they won't show up I should know
If u have titanium backup go to
Menu/more/market doctor and it will fix broken links to Google market

They're all from the Market, but I'll try the TI option, thanks
EDIT: I'm not paying for an app I'll never use, but thanks anyway. Funny how the old Market never had this issue. just the new one
Haha yes yes I agree old market was fantastic
Yes i do try before I buy if I like the app then buy

Randomly enough, it seems to have worked anyway! It said I may have to 'download any app' to get it up to scratch and, seeing as Superuser needing updating, I did it. It now shows all Market apps in My Apps!
Yh I did it I was playing around and now I have like 20 updates but can't update them.as there ermmmm not from Google

I'm just glad to have it sorted, was doing my nut in! At least now everything is cleared and setup from scratch so hopefully won't have to complain again. Still think Google should have the option

[Q] Which cleaner apps do people use?

Hello All,
I have been wondering what (if any) history eraser/cleaner apps you guys use?
I've been a long time user of "HistoryEraser" by DUMAPIC but can anyone suggest a better app I should be using?
Thanks.
manually ...
Oh - don't you find it tiresome having to clear caches and histories manually all the time?
or am I just far too anal about clearing my history?
Why clear caches? They improve performance.
No one else uses my phone so i don't have to worry about clearing history.

Yeh I should have said History only, no need to clear caches unless your running out of room.

There's more information in your cache than in your history about your browsing habits, you know.

If you select Always, it is supposed to never show you the selection box again unless you reset app preferences or perhaps download a new option. Only thing I could think to try is reset app preferences and try it again.
Any app that you previously clicked "always use this app", can be reset, and next time you click a link, it will ask you what app you want to use....can he done by going to system settings, apps, all, find the app that's currently the default, click it....and click "clear defaults".

What can the problem of this?
Thank you
Get that malware off the device.
It's a multi vector security risk.
If you must go there use browser logon only.

Well you see what it's doing.
Probably bad coding or needs updating.
Try clearing it's cache. Clear system cache if you have that option.
Clear app data or uninstall then reinstall.
One reason I never have malware issues is because no social media apps are ever installed on my devices. WhatsApp is a huge bullseye target for hackers, scammers, phlishers... and they're quit creative.
Yes I understand but even after the clear cache and reinstall the app...overnight nothing is change..
So there is nothing to do?!
