Apps uninstalling themselves? - Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Apps uninstall themselves? I just went to play angry birds, and the launcher icon was broken. This has happened with other apps for some reason, so I went to add it from my app drawer but it wasn't there... I went to android market and i had to reinstall. It didn't even say I had it downloaded. Anyone know the deal with this?
Also, on an unrelated (maybe) side note, today my phone randomly shut off in the middle of a phone call. Why would it do that?

[Q] How to reset market?

So I put all my apps to auto update, a feature of the new Market. Bummer is my wifi cut off apparently in the middle of an installation or something because one app is stuck on "Installing" and never installs. It's always stuck in this state and because of that I can't uninstall/reinstall it. I manually uninstalled it thinking it may fix market but it didn't and now I can't find it anywhere except on the market.
I know if I reflash my whole ROM, the market will be fixed but I'd rather NOT have to do that cause it simply is too much work. Is there any simpler way to reset the market?
You can go to menu settings, applications, manage appications, menu show all and reset the cache/data of the market app.
Thx. I actually figured it out by uninstalling the updates to it and then reinstalling it. Worked perfect

[Q] sudden missing apps from new market

I just noticed yesterday that the list of apps that show in new market is suddenly shorter. I'm running brilliant corners. It was fine a couple days ago. Anyone else having this?
That happens to me every once in a while. I usually Force Stop Google Services Framework then clear its data. Then, I do the same to the Google Market application. Then I reboot. I usually wait a few minutes before launching the Market app. It usually does the trick.

Play market?

Has anyone got this play market instead of the android market? Is it a new update?

Yea I got it. I had to clear cache in android market, and then it auto updated, and now called Google play store. Looks same... Just says Google play on top instead of market. On pc Google play is black and white themed

I too got the Google Play store update. It seems there are some speed improvements, but other than that nothing else seems different. Also, I noticed when using the default blur home launcher that the market shortcut that appears at the top of the app drawer is broken. It no longer registers the market being installed. Wondering if this is a coding issue due to the name change.
same thing

Apps randomly uninstalling ?

Anyone seeing apps randomly uninstalling? I've noticed it in the past few weeks since I did a reset. The shortcut icon will just be the green Android one, and it says the app has been uninstalled. The App Store says it's still installed though, so I have to uninstall manually, then reinstall. Anyone know what's going on??

yes i have the same issue with NBA game time app...i reinstalled about couple times, and it just got uninstalled on its own...but just that one app, never had any problems with any others
Some of my apps randomly disappear and then they come back.
Was the apps in question ever moved to the sdcard?
Wait....I sent this with Tapatalk?
Not for me. All my apps are on my phone itself.
It's been doing that to me too. Usually when im in gprs-land when i can't download it again. Very annoying.
Mine did it to, but only when I had an excessive amount of apps installed

The same happened to my six or seven apps. All of them were installed inside the phone itself and never moved to the ext_sd_card.
However I noticed, this has been happening to the apps what were installed manually from .apk, in other words not through the Android Market..
Again for the past five days what I am running pretty much debloated ICS - nothing like this happens to my operational environment...

TuneIn troubles...

Anyone else run into this? TuneIn was preinstalled but not in my app drawer. If I searched for it the Play Store, it showed that it was already installed and I could click the launch button from there, and the program launched.
I looked it up in the application manager and uninstalled it figuring a fresh install might work. Still didn't show up in the app drawer. Now, the Play Store shows no buttons at all (no install/launch/uninstall/etc) if I pull up TuneIn. If I use the web store to push it to my phone, the install fails, stating that it is already installed.
Thoughts?

Had that happen on my OG Evolution with TuneIn. I think I had to use Root Explorer to remove the app and a library file associated with the app but it was a while ago. Definitely the same issue though.
Did you transfer your SD card over and maybe you had the app on the card or in an sd-ext dalvik cache? Seems weird THAT app was preinstalled seeing as Sprint has its own bloatware for internet radio.

Tunein is definitely preinstalled. On the way home from Best Buy last night, I was playing around with car mode and it is the default tile for Internet Radio.
Also, same issue here with it not being in my app drawer. Only hint of tunein being installed outside of car mode is having the widget.
Weird. Maybe it is a similar but unrelated issue to what I had back then. Drove me nuts that I couldn't get it reinstalled for months though which is why I remember.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. It does show up in the car dock app for me, searches work but streaming doesn't start since its uninstalled.
neither TuneIn Radio nor Polaris Office show up on my app drawer
Tunein didn't show up for me until I installed a diffrent launcher.
Alright... I fixed my problem and as a plus now it shows up in the app drawer. Went to my OG EVO, found the apk, threw it in Dropbox and installed it on my new EVO from there. All is well. Hopefully this helps someone else.
another issue that I hope gets a solution is how to replace the normal TuneIn with TuneIn Pro, for example when in car mode, instead of having two different versions installed

I have the exact issue and did the same thing as you in uninstalling TuneIn and now I cannot open or installed the app. So after reading this thread, I went to the Car app to access TuneIn but it won't stream anything. Then I went into the app settings and disabled the car app and tried to download TuneIn with the same results of it saying it is already installed. Now the Car app has disappeared and I can't find it on the phone in order to enable it. Uggg. I went to the HTC Hub to try and find the car app but can't find it there. Unfortunately, I traded in my OG EVO so cannot try to use the drop box as you did. Man now I'm totally screwed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Tunein for some reason does Not show in the app drawer. But if you add the widget you can access the sign in page after opening the app through it. I also would love to replace it with pro, haven't figured that out yet.

Looks like the phone doesn't want you to install this. Odd. Will be fixed in viperROM
I dont know if you guys are aware but Tune In is located in your app drawer under the red "Music" icon
I ended up doing a Factory Data Reset even though I had spent all day setting up and learning the phone. I just couldn't figure out how to get the Car widget enabled or fix the Tune In Radio issue. FDR fixed both issues and resetting up the phone didn't take very long the second time. I also added a TIR widget to one of my screens so I don't have to access the Car widget to use it. All is well but wish I knew TIR was included on the phone.

yup!
what he said!
Tune in is there, but its part of HTC's music app. Polaris is there too, just try to open a document and it will be opened with polaris.

I though I was going crazy! I had the same thing happen - I ended up just buying Pro version for $.99 and it shows up.

Did the exact same thing but got credited for it a minute after I downloaded it. The second it downloaded I woke up and said "why am I buying something without even looking at XDA?" Uninstalled, got refund, got on here and got it fixed. I know it's only a buck, but hey these days every buck counts.

At the risk of appearing horribly dense (it wouldn't be the first time) I'm still not seeing it. I've opened the Music icon (a red music note) and all I get is a My Phone button and a SoundHound button and the music play controls.
BTW - I purchased (and returned, after finding it didn't work with the Car app) the Pro version. Left a 'love' note with Tunein support, never heard back from them.
Thanks in advance. If all else fails I guess I can wait around until they push an update.

In the HTC Music app, tap on the menu button on the upper-right, and you can add an app to the list.
