[Q] Uninstalling apps via pc - General Questions and Answers

Hi,
My phone went berserk, ive got a rooted galaxy nexus, my problem seems to be an app thats updated (prolly the launcher app) and something has gone wrong. the screen flickers, there no touch responsiveness, basically the only thing i can do is power off my phone using the hardware button.. The phone does log on to the network, all the calls and notifications register, but im unable to recive calls and do anything that requires touch input.
My question is : is there a way i can uninstall aps from my phone using my pc only ? ive been using the skipsofts android toolkit for all my moding needs, but it doesnt allow uninstalling apps (im pretty sure its possible tho)
if im not able to uninstall the app that screw my phone i will need a factory reset (which is not what i would like)
pls help ?

[Q] Samsung Stratosphere Question =(

Hi im new here and have rooted my phone recently and now something has happened.
I try to open the contacts tab in my Phone app and i get a error saying
"android.process.acore stopped unexpectedly."
I have tried almost everything...
-Factory reset
-Clearing cache
-clearing data on contacts and phone
-i don't have any frozen apps since i just reset
-no Facebook or Google plus installed.
I have searched for about 3 hours on how to fix and haven't found anything that works. =(
I have no idea how i can fix this. If i have to send it to Verizon, could someone also include how i can keep them from knowing its rooted?
(PS: i rooted with heimdall just in case you needed to know)
Thanks

[Q] [HELP] Samsung Galaxy S2(GT-I9100) wont remember settings after reboot

EDIT2: It seems that it wont remember settings either. I disable WiFi, and after reboot its back on. Same with all other settings. If I uinstall an app, its back in normal function after reboot. If I install a new app, its gone after reboot. And I cant even perform a hard reset, everything back to normal after I tried it... sick stuff!!
EDIT: Actually it seems like it wont accept new installations or something. Because now it found new updates to apps I did upgrade earlier this morning already...
Its the two latest installed apps Im missing after installing them (Swiftkey X and Dolphin Browser HD). Also now Im trying to upgrade my phone to version 4 of android, but after downloading the firmvare, it need a restart and then I have the same problem as with the apps. Its like I never downloaded the firmware, tried 3 times now and all 3 times the same happens. Anyone have similar problems with their phones??
Also noticed that last the phone reset itself it yesterday at approximately 9.04 (that was when my weather app last updated). Really wonder what can cause this? No one with any similar experiences or possible solutions?

Removed keyboard and factory reset my phone, can't access it now.

Well, today the play store suddenly stopped working. It kept saying no connection. Had tried everything, and a few hours later it showed that I needed to authenticate my account or something. Still wouldn't work, so I just went for a factory reset.
Well here's the problem. I'm using Karbonn A2+, and for those who have this phone, they'll know it is PAINFULLY slow. So I removed a lot of stuff off /system earlier (android keyboard, browser, calender, camera, file manager, music, gallery etc) in hopes to increase internal memory and speed up the phone a bit.
Now, I'm only left with Messaging, Contacts, Phone, Playstore, Settings, Sim toolkit and sound recorder. No android stock keyboard.
I'd try connecting to my wifi but there is no keyboard to type my password into. File manager is gone so I can't install any apps. No google account on my phone and no keyboard so google play is useless. SuperSU is gone.
No dev has made CWM for Karbonn a2+ either.
Any help is appreciated.
Try to find a keyboard wich can be installed via cwm.
Something like that: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1175651 may be possible.
No guarantee...
Please close the topic, I turned over every internet-rock and finally found mtk drivers for this phone and a stock rom. Flashed it using SP Flash Tool, and finally all's good. =}
@SaschaBr Thanks for the reply! But I have stated in OP that cwm is not available on my device...
Ok, sorry,I didn't realy read the last lines. :silly:
Just remember: NEVER remove the android keyboard from the system. xD I did this once and had to go onto google play with a bluetooth keyboard and download a keyboard app, then move it into the system. That's now my sister's phone. It wasnt a good phone anyway xD

Massive app crashes, phone unusable

Hi,
My girlfriend has the moto g and since this morning it's unusable: every second comes a crash message that a app fc. All apps belonging to Google (YouTube, calendar...) are crashing and especially the launcher. It's just possible to go to settings via quick toggles. But I can't delete any data etc from apps. And it won't accept any changes to any settings. I can't open any app because the launcher doesn't work...
The problem: it's an unrooted, totally stock phone with just a few apps (whatsapp, chronus...) . Now I wanted to ask if anyone can help and maybe knows this problem and how to fix it. And: I can't connect it to the PC (win7). Anyone has a link and a description to install the USB drivers? I tried all the "normal" ways with Motorola device manager and manually install USB drivers. I want to backup the messages and pictures before I try a factory reset. I rebooted it in secure mode, but all the problems still exist...
I hope anyone can help... Thanks in advance!
I want the moderator to ban me.

If it always crashes how would you be able to back up SMS and picture? Try to go to the store you bought your phone or call your tech support. But if nothing happens you just need to factory reset your phone.

If it connects to the pc, you can easily make a backup of these things. The Problem is that it doesn't connect because i have problems finding the correct usb driver.

As much as we want to, but I think, there's no way to back it up. You just need to factory reset it.

Already tried a factory reset - doesn't work. Can't even boot into recovery... Now it's sent back to Motorola I would love to know what happened there on a complete stock phone with just a very few apps and just used for messaging, calls and photos. I hope Motorola says what went wrong when the phone is repaired.
Try to uninstal apps and try instal again.Maybe not completed installed before.
My girlfriends phone started doing the exact same thing this morning, what was the outcome? Did they replace the phone?
