Anyone know how to shut this off? I have about 40 apps that are repeatedly trying to reinstall themselves daily. I obviously don't want them to andnindont prompt them to. So annoying. Can I shut this off somehow?

Are you using another app store, like app brain or the Amazon app store?
Nope. Only the android market. I tried clearing the cache and turning off the auto update. The only thing I haven't tried (yet) is a factory reset. I haven't figured out what is triggering it yet either.

If you are talking about apps automatically updating, then go to the Market/Menu/Settings and uncheck Auto-Update. And while there, if you don't want to be notified when an app has an update, uncheck the notification check box too.

But be aware that apps are usually only updated to correct issues or to add/improve features.

Good luck.

You won't lose anything, just delete the data and reboot (you're deleting locally, not from the servers). Account will reset it's self. You may still get the auto download, but once you uninstall they should stay uninstalled...

Hit the settings button in the pull down. Select Apps, use the All tab and the clear data button will be under the apps I mentioned...
