Uninstalling an App...

[flying dog]

Ok, I shall ask on the HTC forum too, but I am "stuck" with an app.

 

HTC Desire.

 

It shows up on othe app list when I press the ^ key (bottom left of the phone)

 

But when I go to UNINSTALL, it isn't listed.

 

How do I remove it?

 

It is called "owner".

 

I may even annoy the person who wrote it too.

Hi FD

 

Don't know the app or how to fix, but a couple of things that may help.

 

Are you trying to uninstall in market program or settings menu. I think Settings menu may have more success than Market?

 

Maybe restart your phone and try again?

You can also install apps from Settings-->Applications-->Manage Applications.

 

There are some that cannot be removed.

Alas it doesn't show up in the "Settings/manage applications list.

 

ONLY when I am on the home screen and press the ^ button (bottom left of screen)

 

:(

Maybe It's there under a different name

Well, when I look at the app list (again: the ^ button on the main screen) it shows as OWNER.

 

Un-intall and settings/application manager don't show it.

 

Got me beet'.

There's no application of that name on my Desire, so it isn't a "standard inclusion".

 

Only option I can think of under these circumstances, is a "Factory Reset", but make sure all your data is backed up and safe elsewhere first, cause it is going to be painful. That should take you back to a clean phone, as you purchased it.

Yes it is/was a downloaded app.

 

The idea behind it is if the phone is "lost" someone can pick it up, see a picture of me and contact details.

 

Alas it is buggy and I want to un-install it.
