[Q] SEARCHED - Just installed Cognition - market won't download a thing

Google talk won't sign in at all. Gmail account added just fine. Market APPEARS to be fine but after clicking download, it just never starts and eventually gives a DOWNLOAD UNSUCCESSFUL notification.
Any thoughts? This is my gf's phone and she's getting peeved.
First, this should be in q&a
To answer ur question, try going to settings-applications-manage... find market and clear data
Try the same for gtalk

Tried that, no dice. What DID end up working was a factory reset through the menus, then adding the gmail account by opening the market as opposed to MENU/SETTINGS/ACCOUNTS & SYNC.
For whatever reason this solved the problem. Shrug.

What SMS apps do you use? If you are using Handcent, for example, and you have not disabled the stock messaging app's notification, that might be it.
if you post a screenshot i might be able to tell you
I using Handcent but I do have my stock messaging disables... the icon looks like a postcard :s

Rooting and removing apps

Hey!
I'm new at this, and I just got my LGO2X today. The question I have is this:
Can I, without problems, remove following apps:
- Facebook, Twitter and MySpace for LG?
- Preinstalled apps?
- Car Home?
- RemoteCall?
- SIM Toolkit?
Yeah... but i would recommend just freezing them.
And freezing them means what? And how do I do that?

you may want to check the other threads ... its all there. The app you search is the SNS.apk
Is it possible to freeze or disable so that the icon for alarm/clock and call log disappears but can be used?
I think it's stupid to have those icons that can be launch via the app "Clock" and "Phone" instead.

If you use LauncherPro then you can go to Preferences > General Settings > Hidden Apps
By that you still have the app's installed but they won't take up space in the drawer.

sns.apk = facebook,twitter and the social widget thingy.

"WeChat" pre-installed on my HTC One. Not able to delete it? How?

Hey guys. Wechat is pre-installed on my phone and im not able to delete it? How is this possible? I have attached two screen shots, please check them out.
Thanks!
hi, seems to be a system application, so it can't be simply deleted.
you need to get root, then you can download the app "titanium backup". with this app and root access you can delete every app you want to..

Hey, thanks for the reply. But is wechat supposed to be a system application?
honestly i've never seen it before, but the preinstalled apps depend also from your region and your provider.. maybe you have a branding too..

I purchased it unlocked, we don't have any branding here in India. And even I have never seen such apps, pre-installed. It seems to be something fishy. Also it has permission's to almost everything.
WeChat is the most used chat application in China. All my chinese friends are using it, so it shoudn't be that harmful.

likely nothing fishy going on other than htc getting paid to have it loaded at factory for your region. it's like some of the appls i can't uninstall for t-mobile usa without root so i do is disable them under the apps list whenever possible.
I held down the WeChat icon in App Drawer and dragged to Uninstall which comes at top. Voila!! It was gone. Try this way. Worked for me.

Text Messaging Problem.

I originally had a Galaxy S3 rooted and backed up all my text messages around 30k i was using GOsms pro at the time. Then when i got the my new S5 and recovered all my messages but the stock msging app constantly lags and freezes out but Gosms works with no problems. I've tried to delete all my text msgs cause i thought maybe that is whats lagging me up but every program i use constantly locks up. Does anyone know how i can fix this and delete all my tx msgs?
Thanks
64 views and no feedback. Must not be a problem then
I had a problem with the default one lagging too... just switched to go

Reason i want stock text messenger as well is so i can use it in "Ultra Power Saving Mode" are there any other ones that would work in that mode?
Looks like just stock type apps. I use handscent but didnt see the ability to add it.
Edit...

Thanks anyway.
Do you know how I can delete all my text messages through file explorer?
Sms backup and restore app can delete all txts. Do a backup then delete all. Then restore to a certain date. No root needed. Works on my device.
