Lost my market icon

[bparker803]

I recently updated my Droid X and when I did, my droid market icon was replaced by a different icon and when I try to access it I get a message of "application is not installed on your phone".

Any idea on how to get my droid app icon back?

There is only 2 ways I know that seem to work.

1. Reinstall app from a market backup apk (EStrong File Explorer works well) but if you dont have backup already this is not possible.

2. Hard Reset on device. Try follow this process.. http://community.vzw.com/t5/DROID-X-by-Motorola/Minimize-Droid-X-Issues-After-Froyo-Update/m-p/29658...

So from what I'm reading, I have to reset my phone and lose all the apps I have on it now?

Is this correct?

No you will not lose them, all you have to do is after reset, setup Google Mail and then open market and press left menu button and select downloads from list  and all installed pay apps will be listed, just click and reinstall..

Got it down. Thank you very much.

Unfortunately it only re-downloads ones that have been purchased.  It doesn't put free apps back on the phone.  It happened to me today too

You may want to invest in MyBackup, this can backup all apps and contacts as well as personal settings, I never restore personal settings but the apps and contacts restores without a glitch.
