[Q] Apps don't restore to phone after bootloader unlock

Apps are not restoring from market after having unlocked bootloader (and phone got cleared).
I unlocked it yesterday and on a first run apps did get updated, and in fact I got the new market as well, which I hadn't had before.
I had to re-do the whole process (lock and unlock) because it hadn't worked correctly (syntax error in updater-script).
This time apps didn't update. I checked from my laptop and my market there did show all my apps (paid and free), although the one on my phone only showed the paid one.
Tried it again today and it still hasn't updated, even though I've let it sit for a few hours. Logged into my market today from laptop again and I only see one app on my account (the only one I've paid), but it might be because it is listed in the "My Orders" tab; there doesn't seem to be a "My installed apps" anymore. The free ones aren't listed any place I can find, although if I search for them individually they are tagged as Installed.
Is "Market" temporarily broken or is there something I can do?
If you've got titanium back-up try running market doctor (settings, more). It usually works for me.
The other option is to clear the data and cache for the market app.
The market can be a bit iffy at times but.the apps usually reappear eventually.

Still not updating...
I've reset the phone completely and have got it to sync with the couple of apps I'd added during today, but can't get back to the old ones I had.
I wonder if it's had something to do with having received the new Market yesterday at some point, but now being on the old one again after the phone reset.
Is there some way I can force the OTA Market update and see if that will sync me back?

How to disable AT&T address book? rooted

Hello.
I rooted and installed official ICS android on my phone. My phone is originally Rogers, but the ICS version is AT&T. It's official but never release to public or whatever who knows.
So it came with all AT&T bloatware but I was able to disable all except one...
AT&T address book.
Everytime I open my phone contacts this stupid app opens first! It takes like 4 seconds to load then I have to hit OK before I can view my regular android contacts.
I go to apps but DISABLE is grayed out.
What can I do? I am rooted but this is grayed out? Makes no sense?
Any answer
Any thoughts? I don't even have an app that shows up in Titanium Backup (I'm rooted).
Edit....

[Q] 2.3 Phone unresponsive or crash everytime after each app update.

My phone is an old T-Mobile G2 (aka HTC Desire Z).
I know I should post this in the G2/Desire Z section but I am not sure if anyone still visit that section at all so I want to post this here instead and hope for some help.
It's a T-Mobile G2, S-off, unlocked, rooted, CWM Recovery and SU installed, and flashed with Virtuous Sense Rom which is basically a Desire-Z stock sense 2.3 rom with some stuff stripped off.
It used to have the older version of Play Store which doesn't have Play Movies but only Apps. I installed the newer Play Store after I flashed it with the Virtuous Sense Rom.
I have had this problem for a couple years already and have yet to find a solution.
Every time after I update an app, the phone will either unresponsive for about 5 mins. No button would work, it wouldn't let me do anything.
Most of the time after 5 mins the phone will be back to normal but a lot of times it just crash and won't be back to normal even after 5 mins and I have to pull the battery out and reboot the phone before I can use it or update the next app that needed to be updated.
Other time the phone is fine (well maybe except Google Play Services always cause my phone to show the "Internal Memory Full" message).
But this problem is quite annoying.
Does anyone know what is causing this and anyone know any solutions to fix this?
Thanks.

[Completed] Z740g - Phone Self Reset And Keyboard Is Gone.

When I woke up today to get ready for work, my rooted Z740g was on the beginning tutorial for setting up the phone. While I was asleep the phone reset itself and erased everything I had on the phone storage. When I tried setting up the phone to see what was going on, the default keyboard app was not there! I had to use google voice to download a keyboard app from a website other than the google play store. No one had physical access to my phone and I had no other device sign ins on my google account history. I didn't grant any strange programs super user permission except for android lost. I didn't see any logs in androidlost and it uses my google account to sign in and I wasn't seeing any strange devices on that log. Do you think that this is some strange fluke or some type of malicious attack? My internal storage was almost full and occasionally my phone would reboot on its own and had various small bugs like battery monitoring being inaccurate on occasion. I'm worried about security breaches on my phone because I have seen how easy it is for someone to access the microphone, camera and any files on the device. I removed my sim and had to change all my online passwords.
Would flashing a rom completely remove any malware that might be on the device?
edit: I just noticed that there were two versions of chrome on my phone when I was trying to figure out what happened earlier today. I did notice that chrome looked different. I see a version 39 from before the wipe occurred and now I have version 28.0.1500.94 I looked up release dates and version 28 was released in 2013 and the phone wasn't even released until sometime in 2014. What gives?

Att/Tmobile firmware update unlocked Note 10+

Short store - installed firmware and now none of the OEM apps are on the phone. No ATT logo on bootup.
So months back my wife bought me an unlocked samsung note10+ that was new. I was using it via wifi fine but finally went to use with my sim card for att and learned it didnt work to make or receive calls. After investigating I learned I needed to flash the firmware with tmobile which would work for ATT. I found a video with instructions to reset phone, install usb drivers for window, run odin, load each firmware file into the correct boxes and then hit start and it said success and restarted phone. I can now call out and receive calls on the phone however the phone didnt boot up with the ATT logo not does it have any apps at all on the screen. I lost all my stock apps like the clock, calendar and all the oem ones, whether google maps, youtube and all that jazz.
Did I do something wrong? How do I get all those back as I need maps and youtube and definitely a clock to set alarms.
My apologies if in the wrong forum.

T mobile firmware doesn't have AT&T bloatware or AT&T specific apps and features(which you did not need and are not important anyway). As long as you are connecting to your network and can use the phone without issues, you will be fine. If you want the AT&T apps(including stock clock and calendar), you can probably find them online with a Google search and install them manually. As for the AT&T boot screen, it would require rooting the device to change that to AT&T boot screen. Maps and YouTube can be installed from Google PlayStore.
I have a N975U and and N975U1. AT&T brings nothing to the table I use. Both are nearly identical, I simply package block the AT&T apps on the one.
I use Samsung calendar and clock. Clock may not install for you as I'm running on Pie. Calendar won't upload here. Not sure why. It's 25mb, it should upload...

Upload it to a hosting site then link it here, then it should work just fine.
