Hi, I have a friend who decide to get this phone against my personal suggestion, now the issue is I that have no clue how to delete the cached data, I own Galaxy phones and Nexus, that I know where to go to delete the cached data, however I can't seem to find that option on HTC, nor if I boot on recovery I'll see this feature.
So the question is, How do I delete Cached Data on HTC?

Settings > Apps > Tap the app > Delete Cache / Delete Data ?
No, Nexus and Samsung phones include an option to delete the Cache Partition and Cached data, so I don't have to go 1 by 1, for what I read somewhere, the only way to remove the Cached data on HTC is by turning off the phone, removing the battery for 10 seconds, turning it on again...or this Wipe Cache...will never recommend this phone...guess I'll try this...

I wanted to try a hero rom but i didn't have a swap so i formatted my sd. i didn't like the hero rom so i restored from a nandroid. now, when i go to the marketplace it thinks that the app (ie facebook) is installed and the install options are greyed out. will i have to do a wipe or is there an easy way around this? really not that big of a deal but i dont like wiping.
try this. go into settings > applications > manage apps. scroll down and find the market, could also be called vending. then click on it, n go clear data and clear cache. it should reset ya market. then reboot and try going to ya market. it should ask you to accept the terms and conditions again as if you just wiped.
the cache clearing didn't work, i'll just wipe now. thanks though
Don't wipe yet, drop to a terminal and do this
cp /data/system/packages.xml /sdcard/packages.xmlback
rm /data/system/packages.xml
reboot
should clear it up.
PS - next time post in Q&A forum.
ok thanks daveid. im new to these forums (obviously) I already wiped, but it doesn't really matter, most of my data is in the cloud anyhow.
If I utilize the Factory Data Reset feature in Settings I assume all my data and apps are wiped clean.
My question is will I have to manually search for and re-downreload every app I have, or does my Android Market Account remember them so I will quickly be able to download them?

Get titanium backup pro and backup all your apps/apps data.
Market will on some occasions restore apps but its unreliable and also doesn't restore app data.
Does clearing the data using CLEAR DATA from one of the choices the Manage Applications then going to ALL delete the application?
Does it uninstall/delete the application completely? Or is it more like a clear browser cache type of clear?
If it does delete, is it possible for me to accidentally delete an essential android system file that I will not be able to recover? (I have no plans of modding or changing roms etc)
For example, the Camera app, if I press CLEAR DATA will it remove it permanently?
What if I accidentally delete something essential?
Thanks.
Ok so after attempting replace the AT&T contacts app I finally succeeded, but now my phone doesn't work and I recently lost text messaging.
I downloaded the apk files from this thread then placed them - Contacts.apk, ContactsProvider.apk, Phone.apk, PhoneConfig.apk and associated .odex - in my /system/app folder. I then restarted the phone several times and cleared the Dalvik cache using the SystemCleaner app.
As it stands right now, placing my SIM card in the phone and having it in anything other than airplane mode, I get the error com.android.phone stopped. I can dial a number without the SIM card in but it fails because I'm not connected to my carriers network.
Using Titanium Backup & Restore app, I notice that com.android.providers.telephony isn't installed. I also notice com.motorola.messaging isn't installed. These may suggest why things aren't working.
My phone has been rooted and has an unlocked bootloader. It has the stock ROM and I'd like to keep it if possible. I just want to fix these issues and have my phone back the way it was before all these issues started. Also I'd like to recover my previous text messages if possible.
Any help in addressing this issue would be great.
clear cache for phone and contact...use either tibu or go to apps, and clear cache and data...

Ok so I used Titanium Backup to Wipe Data for Contacts and Phone, powered off the phone, then powered it back on, then inserted my SIM. I got the same message.
If the process for clearing the cache is something else a brief explanation would be welcomed.
By the way ai6908, thanks for taking the time to respond to this thread.
it should have worked...go to CWM and wipe cache and davlik after you wipe data...did you wipe contact storage?
This is why you backup. All you needed to remove art contacts was root uninstaller

Ended up reinstalling the stock ROM and uninstalling most of the AT&T apps. I didn't bother attempting to replace the Contact app with the stock android version.
At night, the phone's screen will turn on when it receives a notification, then never turn off. It also doesn't always show the black and white "ambient display" notification screen all of the time. Texts and emails will still show the regular one that I'm used to with other phones. Is there any way to make it work properly?
Try to wipe cache only, in recovery if necessary. Worked for some.

How do I do that?
Does anyone know how to wipe the cache like the guy above suggested?

Are those instructions only for the OP3? I'm using an OP3T and they don't work for me. I don't see any option to wipe cache partition.
EDIT: I went into recovery mode and wiped the cache. I hope this works.
Go to settings then apps then find your app. Click storage and you will see the option to wipe cache.

I don't know which app could be causing this, so I just went into recovery mode and wiped the phone's entire cache that way. I'm hoping this solves it because I REALLY don't want to have to do a factory reset. I had to manually download all of my apps when I switched phones.
You can clear the systems app from apps in settings but I don't know if that will fix it. Clearing the phone from recovery shouldn't delete your apps but will Probably clear your logins and passwords for different apps

Doing a factory reset will delete everything, including apps. That's what I'm trying to avoid. Like I said, I don't know which app is the culprit here.
