I uninstalled an antivirus app. It left something behind that scanns my wifi then gives me an add. I know what app it was and i don't have it any more. When I factory data reset twice it goes away for a few days then comes back. Please help.
Are you restoring Google backup when you factory reset?
Old apps syncing again
I manually search and install each app. All the apps I have never did it before. The one that started it is gone.

I'm running Radioactive Froyo on a Samsung Moment. I installed and set up a whole bunch of apps before I realized I was using the wrong Google account. I need to change the primary account. The phone says I can only do this by resetting to factory defaults.
I backed up everything with Titanium, restored to factory defaults, configured with the correct account, and then restored all the apps via Titanium, but it seems like something's messed up -- the Market hangs on "Starting download..."
Is there a way to either change the account associated with the Market so it doesn't hang, or to reset the phone and reinstall those apps but not with the wrong account?
They are all free apps -- my concern is the time investment in downloading and customizing all of them.
Thanks!
I setup my new TF and was bewildered for a moment when I see extra apps installed. Turns out it was the market restoring all the apps I had loaded on my Nook onto the TF. I uninstalled all the apps and then did a factory reset.
They just got restored all over again.
I can not uninstall them from the Nook since I have already restored it back to stock in preparation of handing it off to the wife.
So how the heck do I clean up my installed list of apps from the android market? They were all free apps but I want to start with a clean slate not with Nook apps and my Touch Pro2 apps.

Maybe in Settings>Accounts&Sync? Try unchecking Auto-sync. However, I've never tried it. In my case, the free apps never automatically sync
when you do a reset on the screen after you put your google user name and password in untick the thing that says "back up my account with google" or something similar to that.
This stop google restoring your apps
You can turn it back on later in settings to back up your new settings/apps
Hope this helps

Thanks everyone for your replies. I ended up uninstalling them, turning off auto sync, (this forces it to delete all data on the Google server!) and then I waited 30 minutes before doing a hard reset.
All trash gone! yay!

Settings>>Privacy>>uncheck "automatic restore". If your doing this on a fresh setup then skip the Google login at first, unchecked this setting then open up market and login to your Google account.

Yesterday my G2x was caught in a reboot cycle and I could do nothing but use a hard reset. I did not wipe any data however. My phone booted up like the day I bought it, but none of my apps are are in the app drawer. After media scanning, gallery found all my pictures and music app found all my music. I used a file explorer and saw that all my app data is still there too. Is there any way I can make android recognize these apps? There is some personally important data in those apps. My device was almost new and unrooted, but I would be willing to root.
Factory resets wipe user data and apps. You will have to reinstall them. Once reinstalled any data they had stored on your sd card should show up. In the future it would benefit you to use a program like titamium backup to keep your apps backed up.
I hit the button and nothing.... just stays in the email. tried clearing the cache and data. uninstalled gmail and reinstalled.... and loaded a new rom version (senseless extreme... but this is something that suddenly started..... was working fine for a few weeks)
Any ideas?? sending from the computer works fine, as well as saving the draft on the phone, and receiving, and all that fun stuff.
have you tried removing the account and re-adding it?
I remember somewhere else someone suggested what you have already cleared and account data.
It worked once for me with Desire HD but I suspect its all the when it comes to software
i would assume that loading the new rom and in turn signing into my account again would be about the same thing... going to try a clean load today and see if i can narrow it down
Has anyone figured this out yet? I have been having the same problem for months. The only way I have found to fix it is to reload the ROM (or load a new one).
I have cleared data, cache etc. I have disable and re-enabled syncing. I have uninstalled and re-installed the Gmail app from the market and nothing. I rely on Gmail for work so I really need this app to work. I hate having to flash my phone each time this crops up...
Have you cleared defaults? That's what got mine going again after titanium backup didn't restore everything correctly.
Just curious...? After you flash these ROMs, are you using Titanium Backup to restore any system or account data? This I know can cause multiple issues and GMail is very dependent on Accounts.
The "I can't send anything in GMail, but I can still receive messages." issue happened to me twice with my Sensation and I was able to resolve it both times by just clearing data from the application in: Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > GMail. I know you mentioned doing this and it not helping, but I just wanted to be clear on my experience with such a problem.
Hi folks,
With the backup & restore function turned on, the Market automatically restores ALL of the applications I have ever installed using my associated Gmail account. I have been downloading applications using this account since 2010 and I have a large collection of applications, many of which I do not need, which are restored every time by the Market. What I want to know is how I can permanently uninstall or disable these apps from restoring. I want to restore only a select few of my apps, and not all. I have explored the different settings of the Market and I unfortunately could not come up with a solution to this problem. Hopefully someone here knows the answer to this problem.
may someone kindly help out.
Since I flash my phone alot, I had that happen to me. Now what I do is UNCHECK the backup and restore option in settings. If that don't work, then back up your apps, etc, and do a factory reset. Go through the welcome setup and when it comes to the part where it asks if you want to backup and restore then uncheck it.
Before you do the factory reset though, clear your market history and cache, first.
Hope this helps.
