    Hrm, seems like it's your market. What market do you have? Do you have the tiles with the Books, and Movie rentals?

    This time, do the same and just force stop it. Go into the market. Don't download it immediately, attempt to download the app later. Is this happening on all apps, or on a certain one?

    If it's a certain one, try going to
    http://market.android.com

    Sign into your Gmail, push the app to your phone, see if it downloads that way.

    I don't have the Market you described. The home page has a green area at the top with recommended apps you can swipe across and featured apps on the bottom two-thirds of the screen.

    Until I deleted the cache and data/force stopped the Market, it seemed only the U-verse app was a problem. Now, no apps will even begin to download.

    Try loading the new market manually. Don't worry, it's not hard. It's uninstallable as well, and you don't need to be rooted.

    http://www.4shared.com/file/kyNUMuu_/comandroidvending-new.html?

    Download the .APK

    Transfer to your computer via USB, or dropbox it to yourself, send yourself an email with the attachment. Etc.

    Prior to doing that though, go to Menu > Settings > Applications > and put a check next to unknown Sources

    Oh and considering your'e on Tmobile, be sure the network isn't flaking out. Put yourself on WIFI to see if it occurs.

    Out of space: Market could not be installed. Free up some space and try again.

    What folders would be culprits to hold all this stuff? I moved all apps I can to the SD card, with less than 20 MB of apps left on the phone. All media is on the SD card, too (/mnt/sdcard/DCIM/100MEDIA). It says I've used 1.1 GB, with 88 MB free.

    hrm, download Super Manager, and start exploring your "downloads" folder for a culprit.

    Also go back to Menu > Settings< Applications > Manage Applications > All> hit menu, and select sort by size.

    See if there is an app that is humongous or something? I once saw someone who had a Facebook app that was about 200mb.

    Mail = 881MB

    I don't have an option to clear cache or data, though. How do I reduce this?

    WTF! That's your culprit right there. My Mail is taking up 4.0MB on my HTC Sensation.

    You need to change your Mail settings so it doesn't store everything on your phone. I have mine set to store the past 7 days worth.

    Well, glad I could help :)
    Time to delete that mail app. Is this the stock mail app or a yahoo account or something of that sort?

    If for some reason this is a stock mail application, i have bad news....
    You're going to have to root to delete it, or do a factory reset most likely (hate to sound like a T1 VZW tech, but it's true)

    Chances are the MD5 hash sum or your latest update was screwed, you can blame T-Mobile for that.

    No sir.
    Here you go, you can thank me later

    DISCLAIMER: ROOT AT YOUR OWN RISK.

    http://revolutionary.io/

    Make sure you have the drivers installed on your computer for the HTC sensation

    http://dl4.htc.com/Driver/HTC Sensation/setup_3.0.5551.exe

    If you have HTC Sync installed on your computer, delete it prior to installing the drivers

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jv4himeZAUw

    Watch that video

    DO NOT INSTALL THE RECOVERY THAT REVOLUTIONARY.IO asks to install
    Simply type "N" and hit enter when it does

    You're going to have to flash recovery by yourself. Prior to even beginning to root, put the recovery on the ROOT OF YOUR sd card

    http://www.multiupload.com/UCJYHKQH23
    (recovery)

    This is the superuser package you will also need to flash after you flash the recovery (This also goes on the root of your SD card)
    http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=670828&d=1311991644


    It's kind of hard to explain everything on here so just follow this if you need help. I would definitely read this prior to beginning as well

    http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192300

    Once you are rooted and can confirm it by download "root checker" , message me via PM and I will assist you in removing the bloatware.

    Can't he just disconnect his email account from the stock app, and then delete everything (if it stays there)? I just use the gmail app so I haven't used it.
