Help How do I get Market to reinstall my apps......

[google123]

This afternoon I factory reset my phone in hopes of getting the new Droid Pro update to install. It installed just fine afterwards. Nice.

Now, when I restarted the phone and logged back in to my account, all my apps started downloading from the market. Also nice.

However, I decided to cancel most of them except for just a couple that I needed to access right away. Now I can't get those previously installed apps to install without having to look for and reinstall each one individually. Only thing I can think of would be to factory restore again and see if afterwards my apps start to download on their own again.........Any ideas anyone????

Well, you kind of threw a wrench into the works when you canceled installation of the apps following the reset. Market is touchy enough as it is without doing that.

We see reports going both ways on re-acquiring apps after either doing a reset or getting a new device, changing gmail accounts, etc: some are successful and many are not.

If it were my device, I'd redo the factory data reset and hope that Market plays nice. I have doubts, though. Please post back your results.

Yeah, I kinda figured that. I have a ROM backup of when I had ALL my apps on the phone. SO.....I restored that and got all my apps back...only I lost the new update. So I tried the update again,......wouldn't go. So I reset my phone again, ran the update, worked and then I just started installing apps again. I also a have a Titanium backup of all my apps so I guess I'll just restore them that way. Oh, well, lesson learned.

BTW, I haven't really noticed any difference with the new update in place. I know some folks are getting a BIG difference in sound quality with it, but my phone's voice quality has been stellar since the day I bought it. I'm not sure why I tried so hard to get this damn update working considering my phone was not "broke." Oh, well, glad its on there now anyways, you never know.

att sent me a new captivate, and now im wondering how you got the market to automatically start downloading your old apps again. i didn't use any backup app to back up my old phone.
