Delete the Google back-up??

Can't seem to find an answer to this. I had to get a replacement DHD (1st one had a very loose camera) and really wanted to have a fresh start with the new phone - no apps, etc. Since I had the backup thing checked on the 1st phone, the 2nd phone reloaded all the apps from the 1st phone. I've tried the various resets (with backup turned off), but nothing gets me back to a blank, clean phone.
Keep in mind that I'm not talking about the Contacts or Gmail being pulled in (that's fine) - I just don't want the apps & settings from the 1st phone. Uninstalling the apps doesn't quite get me to a clean install. Anyone know of a way to delete/turn off that backup that's sitting in the Google cloud?

What are you running? 2.1 or 2.2

The stock 2.2 rom from DHD

I've had the same problem, and as far I know there is no way to do it. There is a simple workaround, but you will have to disable backup all together:
1. Reset your device,
2. When first time setup will come on, set up your DHD BUT dont enter Gmail settings (for now).
3. Once done go into 'Settings', then 'Privacy' and UNCHECK box next to 'Back up my settings' and 'Automatic restore'.
4. Once done, set up your Gmail account (either manually or starting 'Setup' from All apps).
This seems to be the only way for now, and to be honest I'm quite shocked there is no easy way to manage backups from a pc/phone.
PS: I hope there is a better way - if somebody know one, then please share it with us.

You could also just sign in with a new google account.

You could, but most of us would like to keep the "old" one (for obvious reasons).

There are 2 ways to do it. The reason why it reload all the apps is becoz Ur gmail ID stores Ur download list for the market.
1. When u hard rest don't sign in to gmail. Let the setup finish. Once that's done open market place, it will ask u to sign in. As soon as u complete the sign in go to downloads. There u will c ur apps installed list, which will start to download automaticly. Click on each one and cancel the installation. There, ur list is clean now. U don't really need to do a hard rest after this but should do just Incase.
2. Goto market then to downloads and uninstall every thing and hard rest and ur back to a clean phone.
as I had the same issue, The first method worked for me.

Same thing has been bugging me as well!!
i've posted a question on googles help forum,
See if that get any suggestions...

any real answer to this yet or is there some type of pc/phone management for this??

It should ask for restoring from Google account while setting up the phone.
Just after the location server setting, I think.
Then just uncheck it.

Messed up gallery between all roms

I've been messing with my Captivate a lot for the past few weeks, rooted and flashed once I got sick of waiting for an update. I've tried most of the major roms out there and am having a great time learning about it all.
I have a problem and would appreciate some advice on the simplest way to solve it. Whenever I try to enter the image gallery, I get a black screen for a few seconds, then it vibrates a few times and kicks back to the home screen and gives me a failure notification. It does this regardless of what rom I'm running so I'm assuming it has something to do with the file structure on the card? If I data reset, will this fix it?
I looked around but didn't see an apparent answer for this specific issue. Thanks

Try this, download sgs tools from market. Goto uodate stock apps select gallery

Hmmm, I downloaded it and it doesn't seem to do that much. I don't see any options like that for sure. What is that program supposed to do?

After I posted I realized the app I referenced is not on the market.
Have you tried deleting app data
settings, applications, manage, all, gallery, delete data

This is the app I was talking about
Sent from my SGH-I897 using XDA App

wow, thanks! That did it. I just upgraded the stock app and it's fine now. This app looks really useful, what are some of its other uses?

Secret codes gets you into a bunch of useful things
like lbs test mode for gps
the updated gallery you installed is also supposed to help battery somehow.
I do not use it all too much though, but I keep it around

Before you search for a new camera app have you cleared out your camera cache and tried the camera again?
Do the following:
Phone menu button > Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All
Scroll to Camera (or whatever the name of the camera app you're using) and click on it
Click on the "Clear cache" button and since you said you haven't done much with it, if you want, click on the "Clear data" though clearing data shouldn't be necessary at this point.

Its tha stock camera app that option was not there
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

You mean it was greyed out? All apps will have the same options so it'll be there, just probably not available which is also rather odd, imo. When you look at it in the "All" list, what number do you see under the Camera listing? While you're at it, what number do you see under "Camera Firmware"?

I cant get to it. I tryed the firm ware up grade and it wouldent do cause it force closes. Idk what to do wish i could find the stock files for it and copy over them and see if that would work...

How to install apps through web marketplace

So I am basically trying to do this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_typayezjM&list=PL58F8FA906F76CAE9&index=5&feature=plpp_video
that is..install apps directly through web marketpalce but the app never instantly starts downloading on my phone instead it says me to check instructions via email. Can anyone tell me whats wrong ?

it worked one time for me when i had location service and find my phone on. I think they both need to be on for this to work,,,cos I usually keep both of them off...only when needed. So try that...may be it shall work..and if you are on a slow data connection like I am..switch to wifi and then try !

Yeah it worked!
but I don't see any use of this....even a free app I just download the xap and deploy it

Google Play Store problem?

I have a Sprint HTC One, I'm running it rooted and with a custom rom. It used to work fine until about 5-6 days ago my Google Play Store App would not display any apps at all. I would go in and everything would be blank. I've Factory reset phone, wiped phone, I've tried 3 different ROMS and am having the same problem with all 3 (Rage, DigitalKarmaZen, and Stock+Goodies) With Rage I would get just a blank store, Zen and Stock the store immediately closes. I'm sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find a fix. I'm really hoping I can find a fix so I can get the store working again. My phone is S-ON for what that's worth, I don't quite know the difference or if it matters

I'm using TWRP I go into Wipe and go to Advanced and check everything except the last option which says something about USB which I wasn't sure what that was. So I think I'm wiping it properly. I'm not 100% on that though

Thanks for trying
I've done pretty much all the common sense things I can think of. So hopefully someone knows something to help me get it back! Sucks not being able to get apps easily

Hmm. While this isn't the source of your problem, why would you do that? A wipe of cache, dalvik and /system is all you need, I believe.
The basic wipe in TWRP is enough, and all I ever used as a flashaholic.

I tried that at first without the advanced wipe but it didn't work so I figured I'd just try to wipe everything and see if it helped lol

OK. So lemme get this straight. You downloaded a (sense) ROM. You did a full wipe. You flashed it. You booted. You set everything up the way HTC/Google told you to. Then, Play Store wouldn't work?

Correct. It was not instant though. Google Play had been working for a couple weeks and then recently it stopped working.

Looks like the Play Store has me marked as a different country or something?
I did a wipe and reinstalled Rage (The only one I could get to show Google Play store at all), opening up Play Store still no apps showing, but I can search for apps as long as I type exactly what it's called (IE: I can search for facebook but I have to type "Face" and click on the facebook icon once it pops up, otherwise it doesn't allow me to search for apps. And when I click on the app it says "This item isn't available in your country"
I'll try to do some research with this new info but if anyone has any idea on it, some advise would be greatly appreciated
Also I created a brand new GMail account thinking it might have been something to do with my GMail account I was using or something.

That's what I wanted to say, but I thought it so unlikely.
Go to wallet.google.com and check your stuff. Also check in accounts.google.com.
