I got an email from a user 10 days ago - they upgraded to my paid app and tried to uninstall the free app through Market. It disappeared from their list of downloads, but was still on the phone. Apparently it was also causing his phone to crash. Awesome. When I instructed him to try to uninstall via the phone system settings, that worked just fine for him. Unfortunately many users believe the Market to be the sole app manager and think it's the only way to uninstall apps. So when things go wrong they of course they blame you. I got lucky and got an email, but getting blamed for Market issues is a sad reality. Like when they're stuck on "downloading" or "authorizing purchase" and think it's a problem with your app. It's bad enough the Market is a bad as it is and there's no support for it - to get blamed for their problems and having to support the issues yourself on top of that is just adding insult to injury. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- TreKing <http://sites.google.com/site/rezmobileapps/treking> - Chicago transit tracking app for Android-powered devices -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
