Guys, I'm sure there used to be an option in eclair to clear browser download history. I can only see cancel all downloads in froyo?
Apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere, I did try searching first :-/
I don't know if this is the only way, but it's all I'm seeing at the moment. Open settings, applications, manage applications, all, download manager, clear data.

Thanks for the reply,tried it & unfortunately no joy; download history still there
In browser, click menu> more> settings> clear cache, date, cookies, passwords, etc, is about halfway down (you have to scroll).
I would also close the browsers windows (in browser, click menu> windows, then x each of the windows)
For downloads, click menu> more> downloads, then longpress each file...

Thanks, for some reason I thought that I'd delete files by doing it that way. Will try

It would be great to have a tool that deletes just the cache of the browser and not everything like cache cookies and browsing history.
There is....
Open the browser, press Menu, then tap on More, go all the way down to Settings, and then choose Clear Cache.
You'll see there's also a Clear History, and Clear all cookie data that are separate.
use better cut lets try to find make your own shortcuts

Is there a link to bettercut shortcuts or such now that would be helpful..............

i give this a +1
OK, I was trying to access videos on SyFy and came across tip to set UAString to "Desktop". I did that, but now when I start the browser I get an error that says "The application Browser (process com.android.browser) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. ........"
Unfortunately the error comes up before the browser opens, so I can't change settings back. Any ideas? A search both XDA and net didn't come up with anything.
Moved to Q&A.
I do not gave a direct answer but you can download a secondary browser from the market. Try dolphin. Atleast you will a browser

Thanks. I'm using Dolphin HD, but I'd like to get phone back. As last resort, will One Click Restore restore the apps too?

Go to Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > click Menu and select Filter by All > Scroll down to Browser and click Clear Data
Keep in mind this will return all your settings to default (including uastring) and also delete all your favorites. BUT, your browser will be back working.
THANK YOU!! Worked like a charm.
Now did thst happen BECAUSE I changed the IAString, or just a tandom data corruption? Snyone know?

I searched some places on the Maps app that pop up pretty quick in search history as you search for new places. I would rather these places not be shown to the wife when she uses my phone. I cannot figure out how to clear the search history. The places do not show up in my google map history...only in the phone. Can anyone point me to where that is stored so maybe I can delete the file?
Go into recovery and clear data?

Hahahaha looking up porn shops and "massage parlors" for a happy ending? Girlfriend's address/date locations?
lol jk
try to clear google search data maybe?
I tried the google thing...I cleared everything there...but it still shows up on phone. Where do I find recovery?
Menu> Settings > Applications> Manage Applications> All> Maps> "clear cache" and "clear data"
That should do it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA Premium App
Yes I tried that as well. The first time I went there Maps was not even an option as a running program. I then installed an update and its there. But I have since cleared the cache...there is no option to clear data...only to uninstall updates...history still shows.
There must be a file this is written to that I could delete.
Titanium Backup Pro> Backup/Restore> Maps (Short tap it) > "Wipe data"
Maybe that will work for ya.
edit: Installed Google Maps from the Market, did a quick city search, it saved it to the history, then I did what i outlined above and ... Success.

I just downloaded a history eraser from the market.
Erm... Are we supposed to have Google Play yet? I mean literally everybody I know with an Android device has had their Market auto-updated to Google Play, but not on my tablet... The tablet shows up in the Google Play compatibility list too. Have any of you got the Google Play update? Have I missed something? Or has it just not shown up yet?

Have you tried clearing Market cache and data? If you have the button "Uninstall updates" then click this also. Then open Market, accept the terms and close it again. This should force it to update.

Works for me, BTA it can be restricted depending on your country. Here it goes:
Updating the Android Market Icon to Google Play
20 Mar, 2012
PLEASE NOTE: This News & Alert is specific to our mobile and tablet products with the ANDROID operating system. So the following may not be specific to your product (e.g. Series 7 SLATE PC - XE700T1A operating system is Windows 7).
Instructions for upgrading to the Google Play application (apps, games, movies and books).
1. Select (tap) the 'Android Market' icon.
2. Read the pop-up 'Terms & Conditions' menu notifying the end-user of the upgrade to 'Google Play', and select 'Accept'.
3. At this point the icon should update and say 'Play'.
4. When the 'Google Play' menu appears, select (tap) 'Continue'.
5. There will be a name change at the top of the screen, when inside the market app, but the layout will essentially be the same.
Note
Due to a small data download requirement, this change may take some time depending on the end-user's data connection.
For the fastest update we recommend using HSPA+ or WI-FI.
6. Move back to the home (main or idle) screen, and select (tap) 'Applications'.
Note
a). If the handset is rebooted then the 'Android Market' app icon will have been removed.
After this select (tap) 'Applications'.
Then replace the Android market shortcut with the 'Play Store' icon.
(This can be done by dragging the icon to the home or main screen from the applications menu).
b). If the handset device is not rebooted after updating the play application then the icon will need to be removed manually from the home screen and replaced with the new Play shop icon.
Navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Please note
On the Galaxy Nexus devices the homescreen shortcut will automatically be removed.
Therefore the end-user will need to navigate to the apps and create a new shortcut to 'Play Store' by dragging the icon to the home screen.
Important
If after the above procedure is performed, the 'Market' icon is not replaced after some time with the 'Play Shop' icon, then the end-user will need to perform all of the following steps as outlined below.
Move to 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and check that either of the icons appear in the list as shown. Then:
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear data'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' >' Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Then select (tap) 'Clear cache'.
• Select 'Applications' > 'Settings' > 'Applications' > 'Manage applications', and then select the 'Android Market' icon. Select (tap) 'Uninstall updates'.

My tab just updated yesterday to Play as well.
Do things look squeezed in to anyone else? The app tiles in the main part, and my installed apps and information columns don't take up the whole screen. The toolbar at the top and the green stripe do though, so it doesn't seem to be a malfunction.
The tight quarters make things feel squished. Plus, I find it much slower than the Market already.
buggy play store
I was forced to take the upgrade today. Now I can't scroll thru installed apps. I have to update them one at a time even if I don't want them. Am using a rooted i957. Anyone else having this problem? Solutions?

Thanks for the reply. I downloaded "cache clear" and ran it but still no scrolling. I really don't want to keep updating the bloatware but it looks like I'm being forced to. I know people are working on a rom for the i957. Hope they come up with something.
the playstore looks really nice. But i think the old market was a bit quicker.. or not?
In my default browser settings, I already checked "Enable Cookies" but when I'm trying to log in in one of social networking site, it says my "Cookies are not enabled". How can I figure this one out?
Normally cookies are enabled by default...
So maybe you could clear data and cache in Settings -> Applications.
But beware! You will lose all your history,bookmarks, AND cookies during the process.
It SHOULD work after clearing the data and cache
Try clearing cache first and test, if still no good, clear the data.

Thank you! But sadly that doesn't work. Now it shows a dialog box when I'm loggin in, which says "Data Connectivity Problem: A secure connection could not be established." I don't know where to configure that allows the browser to proceed even if it's not secured.
mmm normally it writes this when their is no internet...
Just questions:
Are you using the default browser?
On which rom are you?

Yes. I'm using the default browser. I don't know what rom I have, my android version is Froyo.
I'm actually using a promo from my network carrier which gives me a free access to one of social sites using my old phone ( Nokia C3 ). And I'm using it for years. So I copied the link from my old phone to my LG phone and now, it doesn't work for my LG. so that's my problem. That issue above occurs.
