Unable to remove all traces of an app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
Recently, I installed a game called Summoner's War. It asked me to create an account, which I did. I later reinstalled the app, and went to login. In the username box, it had the history of my login username, so i just thought it was stored in history somewhere. Clearing data doesn't seem to make it forget what I logged in as. I've tried to factory reset, flash another rom, format everything I could, download an apk from the site and never link my google account to device, but it still remembers what account I logged in from (Note: I flashed rom from external SD, but remove it afterwards). I have a Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T210R), and am desperate to find out how I can remove all traces of my activity. Any help? Thanks!

Well, first of all make sure you are signed in over to your Google account and head over to the
https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions?pli=1 and look for the name Summoner's War and revoke the app permission. See if that help your out !

Blah..

Yes, I logged into the website to delete my account. When I opened the game, it still popped up asking me to login (and still displays my username in the box.. like auto form fill, but I can't clear form history).

As I said, I flashed a new rom and didn't sign into google, downloaded apk from another site, and it still showed my login info. I went ahead and revoked all access, and it still shows it.
I can only conclude that either the game server remembers my device's MAC address (since I've tried proxies, tethering to my phone, using someone else's wifi..) or that it leaves a file somewhere on my phone that I can't find (even though I've reformatted everything I could find in CWM Recovery, and wiped my external SD card).

CM7 - Cant install Google Apps

I am pulling my hair out here. I followed all the steps to install CM7 including selecting Google Apps. After booting up it prompts me for my Google account info and it signs in.
Now the problems begin...
I cannot install anything from the Market. Everything comes up as download is unsuccessful.
However, if I go to the web market, I can install things from there and it works. I have cleared the market and download cache.

Tried reinstalling GAPPS? I had issues with contacts not appearing and no Google accounts listed. I couldnt even add a Google account. Everything was fixed when I booted into recovery and reapplied the GAPPS. What was weird was I could still make/receive calls and texts.
Yup, tried reinstalling Google Apps via CWM. When it reboots it asked me which apps I want to install, but wont install them.
Yes, I have network connectivity. I can install GMail from web market and get my email to work.

Not sure really. May want to post this in the ROM thread.
May have already done so, but I would wipe to factory, cache, dcache, and see if that fixes it. And I came from the Bionix FROYO build running the froyo bootloader. If thats of any help. Also, applying it in ROM Manager would not work for some reason. So I DLed the ROM and GAPPS to my SD and applied manually in recovery after wiping to factory and everything else.

NO
As for the issue, try going to accounts and sync making sure that background data is enabled and make sure you have things syncing to that account. Then remove the account reboot the phone and re-add it through the accounts and sync.
also try re downloading the package could be corrupt

If that doesn't work try wiping your phone.
Seems like this is with my account as my XOOM is doing the exact same thing.
Called Google for support, they cant figure it out either. Escalating to someone else.

Why not. The ROM thread said to not report bugs...not to ask how to fix something. The thread is full of being asking for help to fix issues.
it is not a CM7 issue at this point as it is happening with two different devices and even odin'ing back to a stock rom didn't solve it.

Help! Rooted HTC EVO 3D Issues!

So I successfully rooted my phone last night and this morning I decided to remove some bloatware. Somewhere during my exploration I deleted a file which caused all the text to on my widgets to appear bigger and in red. I did a Nand Restore and a factory reset. I'm still rooted BUT I don't have my Market Place, GMail, I can't sync GMail. I go to "Accounts and Sync" settings and there is no GMail add on...only regular mail. I downloaded through the regular phone browser the Gmail APK and Android Market APK and nothing. I click on the Market....it asks if I wanna sync an account...I say yes and it takes me back to the home screen. Gmail...same thing. Help will be greatly appreciated
EDIT (7-30-11 @ 1:10pm)- I did a Nand restore, apps and all and everything is back to normal....BUT still no Gmail or Android Market

bro, you gotta go download the gapps package.
Get the zip, flash it through recovery. Your problems will be over.
Here's the link, even.

problem accessing into market?

I have recently install a new Rom in my x8.... it seems that I can't access into the market....
It says that I have to create a new account... when I click yes... nothing come out... can anyone help me!!.. my Rom is update-FroyoBread.v023b... pls help me
You may need to ask this question in the thread for your rom.
I assume you have a Google account, correct?
Are you signed in on your phone under "accounts and sync"?
Market needs a working Google account to function. You may meed to get to a computer and verify or create a Google account.

You can try and goto Settings---Applications---Manage Applications---Show All Applications
---goto Market and then clear the cache, and the Clear Data. Then open up Market again
and then try to reconnect your device. Again, you must have your device connected to an active Gmail account in order to use the market successfully.

Your device already has this item installed

I backed up everything to the free version of 'My Backup' and transferred the files to my desktop PC. I've done a factory reset of the phone and want to restore my files. Google Play won't let me me reinstall 'My Backup', says it's installed, but since the factory reset, it's obviously not and isn't in 'manage applications'. How on earth do I reinstall 'My Backup' in order to restore the backups?
wat r u using for backup,and did u sign in while u installd new rom

I backed up my phone with this https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5yZXJ3YXJlLmFuZHJvaWQuTXlCYWNrdXAiXQ..
Then factory reset the phone. ICS was installed few days ago and is still on ICS after the factory reset, which is fine by me. After the phone had rebooted, I signed into gmail and it's restored my contacts and calendar events to my phone, so that bit is fine. At the moment, I can buy and install the paid version of 'My Backup' and that would work, but I just installed the free version last night on a 30 day free trial. I've cleared data in my 'market' app, in the hop it would clear google play and let me reinstall, but it still says installed.
Well, it seems to be sorting itself out now, but I'm a little confused what happened here. I rebooted the phone just now, and then google play changed from 'installed' to 'install'. But, underneath that it says
'you don't have any devices', even when I'm connected by USB. If I click on install, a message says “You haven’t accessed the Google Play Store app on your device with this email account." and these possible reasons:
https://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1141080
I'm signed in with my gmail account though. I don't have a google play store app on my phone, just the market app and a google app.
So anyway, the phone was asking me if I wanted to use tw launcher or launcher pro, so I selected launcher pro, my wallpaper returns and my desired dock settings. So I suppose google must have backed up more than I realised prior to the reset. And now, all my apps are there including 'My Backup', lol. But the phone isn't completely restored the way it should be. So I'm currently using 'My Backup' backup files to hopefully restore it completely and get it looking exactly the way it was.
Go into the market app on your phone and it will update to the play store on its own. Also install your app from the phone not the website since you have to use the phone before the website for the website to know about the phone.

I don't know what happened, I noticed an update to Google APP on my phone and now everytime I restart my phone It asks for me to choose my Google Backup Account and after that when I open apps like GMAIL, Google Maps, Google Play Store I need to login and setup everything again like "A first Time".
Can anyone help me please?
I already did a factory reset and the problem remains.

Check your settings for google on your device, also make sure you dis not block your account u are using for the backup account.
