I've used this app for a long time without a problem. Tonight I installed it as a system app from within the app and rebooted. Now when I open the app, I get the message I've attached in the screen shot. The heck!
I did XDA and Google searches for "Better Battery Stats Companion" but I can't find anyone even talking about this. It says it's a companion app, so where did the real app go? I know it's something stupid and simple, but I'm stumped.
Anyone know? TIA

I think I had that the first time I installed it. I might have had to install BBS again when it did that, but it's installed as a system app for me now. Did it have a recovery zip message show up when you installed it as system.

No zip file created. I might uninstall and reinstall if no one comes up with something else soon. Strange thing and even stranger that I can't find it mentioned on the developer's site or anywhere on the net.

I found the apk for it in system/priv-app directory. Does it show up in there for you?
Sent from my LGLS990 using XDA Free mobile app
I didn't see the apk in my system/app folder, but this went well in a weird way. I clicked the uninstall button that my screenshot shows. It said it failed to uninstall, but when I re-opened the app, it worked the way it should. It's working perfectly now.
I'm not gonna argue with my phone. It works, and I'm good with that. Thanks for responding when I reached out for help!

That's what I was thinking, but it takes like 20 minutes sitting at "android is optimizing" for me after clearing cache lol so I don't tend to clear the cache very often. :-/

Open titanium backup and see if there is any application related to market frozen? If you find frozen app, just defrost it. Also clear the market cache.

I had the problem for a long time. Got the new market and it would actually give me an error message, about insufficient storage.
Info in settings clearly said I had enough, but still constant fails.
Eventually installed link2sd, used it on some apps problem solved.

try this --> wipe data of Market using Titanium backup. You will need to login again in market.
Check if your Google talk is working or not. I came across the same problem and I was advised to log out of gtalk and log in again. That didn't help me. I just flashed the rom over the existing rom. You can also flash gapps if you are on custom rom

Best way is flash Gapps again. It will resolve this issue permanently.
Hey this is my first post and I'm kinda new. I don't know if this question has been asked but i haven't seen it in the two weeks I've been on. But the YouTube app does not work for me I always get an error that says the video cannot be played tap to retry. Now I've heard of this problem thing is it almost never worked (probably 80%) in the browser. Very rarely can I use YouTube at all on my phone. Can anyone tell me what the solution is?

Mine does this all the time a few tap to retry's usually does it.
If not clear the app cache and data.
Go to:
Menu
Settings
Applications
Manage applications
All
Youtube
Then open youtube and log back in. This usually fixes apps that seem to have gone nuts, good luck!
If your rooted, uninstall the apk with titanium and reinstall it.
Also check for the update on the market, that's all I usually have to do with customers' phones at the store.

Make sure that your flash player is up to date, too. Now that we have root, if your have done so, it would be easy to remove the app through Titanium Backup, as well.

Mine is jacked up too. Youtube app won't work in 3g but works fine in 4g and wifi. But if I go to the browser to youtube website, it works fine in 3g. So I believe it's the app. Youtube app on this phone is 2.1.7 on the market it's 2.1.6. I believe we just have a buggy new app that was made specifically for the 3d capabilities.
So the fix I think I found ,sorry it has been so long, is if you remove the routing using the msl rout to speed up your data then YouTube magically decides it likes you again.
boom!! from my shooter
mine does that occasionally but almost everytime i get that error 80 whatever it is and then i have to retry loading the page.
I never get an error number mine says disconnected from the server tap to retry

WTF. This application blows. I keep getting connection to server lost. Videos will only play over Wifi and not 3G or 4G. Has anyone figured this out?
I was updated to the new market yesterday and today saw that Titanium had an update. Clicking on it opens screen that only allows for the app to be opened or uninstalled. I don't see any option to update.
How do we update with the new market?

I had the same problem when my market auto upgraded. I think what happens is that the market account gets screwed up and it doesn't allow you to update some things. Its fixable - you have to reregister your phone with the market. The bad news is the only way I could figure to do this was to clean wipe and start over. I suppose you could factory reset to. I bet there's an easier route - but I haven't found it.

This worked for me! Thanks guys for the clarification on setting permissions.
I thought I had this issue fixed, but it has resurfaced. I have the market telling me there is now an update for Handcent SMS, however it doesn't give me the option to update! I can only open or uninstall.
I tried the fix starflorida posted multiple times, but it just isn't doing the trick. Does anyone have an idea what's going on? Any suggestions or feedback?
There is a new version of the market rolling out today. Try clearing data and restarting market and see if that helps?

I was hoping to avoid that, just so i don't have to re-enter all of my info. But, if I can't get it straightened out, I'll give that a go.
I now have 2 apps sitting there waiting for an update that I can't complete: Handcent & Unlock with Wifi. If I click the app individually, I only get the choices of opening or uninstalling. However, if I click the button that says "Update 2", it looks like it will work! I don't get it.
Edit: I am currently getting the "Low on Space" message from my phone (I prefer not to put my apps on the SD card, if possible). Could this be the reason why I can't update my apps?
Clearing the market data seems to have worked as a temporary fix. It is no longer showing that I need to update any of my apps. However, I did not receive the latest market version. It is still the same version I had prior to clearing data, version 3.0.27
It will, when you least expect it! You can download an apk from Android central if you don't want to wait...

I "acquired" an apk for an app and now I'd like to buy it but the market only gives me an option to update the app and when I do it tells me that I haven't bought it.
I've tried uninstaling, clearing market cache, installing through online market, delinking from market in tb but nothing works.
Any ideas on how I can make the market forget that I ever had this app?
You said you tried uninstalling; what did you uninstall? The market or the app?
I've got the same problem. Installed one of Getjar's gold apps (free apps that are paid on the market). Got fed up of it sitting there in the Android Market's updates list (it seems not all developers bother pushing updates to getjar, and you still have to manually redownload to see if there's an update) but I can't get the Market to let me buy it - it seems to have latched on to the getjar version.
When I uninstall the app, it shows up in the market as purchased, but attempting to download fails the additional checks. Since it thinks its already purchased, I can't buy it.
I tried clearing the market data and cache, but that doesn't make a difference
Try installing the app again and clearing the data for that app and then uninstall .. Also check your sd card to see if you have app data on there

Both. First it was the app and now I've update market too. It's definitely a market issue as when I check it out online it shows as "purchased".
I just found a solution - find the app on the web marketplace, and it'll let you buy it there, then the phone will happily update.

The app shows up with "purchased " next to it. I then click on that followed by Install but then a toast message appears saying that it's not been bought.
In the web market it also says purchased although that's where I'm going to dig around next.

Weird situation. Here's an idea: Re-install the apk file which you "acquired", then uninstall it through the market. See if this fixes your problem..

That's the problem - when an item needs to be updated in the market you only get options to Open and Update rather than Open and Uninstall. I could try to get the "acquired" version update and then uninstall that I suppose.

Yes you could. Also, you don't always get Open and Update. Sometimes you may see it say Update and Uninstall and if you click update and it fails (for some reason), then it changes to Open and Update.
Don't uninstall from the market use your stock app manager or titanium backup if you have it but first clear all traces of the app your trying to un install.. Cuz their may be some kind of cookie/data Installed that is telling the market you already have it

great to hear that you found a solution. I have the same problem here. Can you provide a download link to the old Market version you used?
Thanks a lot

I had the same problem and this is what I ended up doing.
Under Manage Applications/all
clear data and uninstall updates for market
clear data for download manager
Now I opened market and had the old/original market back, before it updated again I searched for the app that was bugged and it let me purchase/install it on the old market. A minute later the market was auto updated. Not sure what steps were actually needed but this is what worked for me. GL

Can you, please, share the old Market apk?
Just install the "acquired" version, then goto Market and un-install it. After that the market will show an option to purchase.
I had the same problem. I installed version2.2.6 of the market. and searched quickly for the app that said purchased before the market updated automatically. It let me purchase it. Problem Solved. I would post the link, but I don't have enough posts here.
Once in a while, an app gets corrupted such that trying to access it in the apps manager crashes the apps manager - thus, it can't be uninstalled normally.
I've noticed that sometimes when this happens, the name of the app in the apps manager changes as well (from the friendly name to the internal one - like com.developername.appname).
What's the best way to uninstall a corrupted app like this? Is there a good app to handle situations like this, or is it best to do it by hand - in which case, what's the procedure?
Is it just a matter of deleting anything that seems related in /data/app, /data/app-private, and /data/data?
What kind's of app crashes? If it is a system app then sometimes a Factory Reset could solve the problem, but not for good. Are you rooted? If you are rooted you could flash a new ROM. Sometimes stock ROM's aren't always the most stable. If you are not rooted then I would try to get root. Hope this helps
Oh, we're not talking about anything catastrophic that would require flashing a new ROM. Just regular misbehaving user-installed apps.
What's the best way to deal with those?

Guess you didn't read the first post.
The point was that these were corrupted apps, and going into them from the apps manager would crash the apps manager.
If u can see the app in app manager, then first clear the data, then uninstall it. If that does work, clear the data again, power cycle the phone, then uninstall it.

My bad, I missed that . Yes, you could delete them from /data/app/ (and check if their folder still exists in /data/data/. If so, delete that too).
Or you could use Titanium Backup
