Tap and hold the icon, like you are going to move it. Then hit the little x on it. That will uninstall.

well, Hello there, just wanted to say something interesting, once you’ve installed an application from the apple store, how do you uninstall it, I downloaded missing calculator, did not like it much, had been wanted to uninstall it ever since, and there is no uninstallation botton or anything to click, help.

I don’t have my phone jail broken but my phone sometimes freezes and restarts by it self. This also happens when I am downloading an application from the App Store. There is just a wheel spinning and nothing happens. Hope apple fixes this bug.

Ok, I realized a few things:

- The less application space you got free (in my case 67MB from 500MB) the more time it needs for the Installtion. App Store and Cydia, both the same.

- Make sure you delete big applications if you do not need them. Biggst ones I installed: Zexas Holdem (171MB!), Brain Challenge (99MB), Cro-Mag (84MB), Vay (55MB).

- Mae sure you do not have “crippled” installs: I did a backup via ssh (rsync –exclude private/var/mobile/Media/ -av root@(IP-address):/ ~/iPhone/Backup/ –delete) and found two folders with Texas Holdem, one was 171 MB, the other one was 41MB. Seems I reset the phone once while installing from App Store and not being patient enough to wait. Make sure this does not happen to you! Always wait until the phone “recovers”, it will!!

- After deleting the crippled install the next installations were much faster.

- By the way, check your Backup directory (/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup/) for a valdi backup. I suggest you delete all backups (iTunes Preferences pane) and let a full backup run at night. Phone on Airplane mode for no interruption. I realized a few days ago my backup was not valid. Well, no notification from iTunes about that until I had a restore

I am glad to hear that I am not the only one. I purchased many apps from the store. I don’t know exactly how many but as long as I install many apps, my phone crashes on download or update. Trying to recover from the crsh with a hard reset puts my phone in a unrecoverable state displaying the apple logo. I never waited long enough to see if it actually booted back up but I think I waited about 20-30 minutes. I had to restore my phone again and gain when this happened, and it happened many times. I now have a limited amount of apps installed.

To stop it, all u need to do is wait after installing something for a few minutes(if u have the patience) without touching anything, and cydia will close on it’s own without freezing. And u won’t have to restore again
