[Q] Help: App Download That Wont Go Away ?

Ok. I downloaded a free App Locker from the market. I believe it was S.A. App Locker. But then I got a diff App Locker cause i wanted to lock a few personal files. So i go to delete it from the apps menue. I noticed it wasnt there. Had no clue where it was at. But then i found it in my DL File Manager i believe. It was like hide for sum reason. So i deleted it. But its still present lockin my text and personal files. So its like a double lock on the same things i want to lock. I took the App Lock off that i want to currently use and the other Lock App is still locking the files. So im wondering is there some where else that i can look to delete this file or will i have to do another full wipe to get rid of it ?

no one has any info..?

Did you try contacting the developer of the app?

You might also want to clear defaults amd settings throuh the app manager.

Notification Issues

Messages notifications work fine.
Third party apps however fail to notify me if I have a message/update in the app.
I may just need to fix the push settings but not really sure how. I just switched from a 4s

Which app are you using? Be sure to enable notifications in the app settings and disable the default notification in the stock messaging app.

It's not just one app, any third party app, whether it be a game letting me know it's my turn, or facebook it doesn't let me know when I have notifications until I go into the app.
But thanks, I'll mess with the settings

I don't have those issues.
The Facebook think I believe is by design. I only get notified if I'm tagged in a photo or something. I don't get pop ups every time someone "likes" my status, which I think is for the better. This is the same way on my Desire as well.

app hiding behind a fake app

I know of a few apps that do this for example an app called hide it pro. I hides behind an app called audio manager and in order to get to it you have to do a long press on the title and enter a pass word to open the app. the app doesnt show in your app tray or anything and the audio manager actually can control your volume and everything.
well I was about to take a pic with my girls phone and noticed a random app called magnifier. when you open it it just goes to a crappy camera app with no special features. the app doesnt show in the app drawer nor does it show in google play ass downloaded. I even checked in the app manager and still nothing. anybody know anything about this or heard about this? i even googled it and there is no such app with that same icon picture.

Sorry if I sound silly, but have you even tried asking your girls? Cause they should know...

[Q] Remove Email App Icon in Android 5.0?

Just wondering if it's possible to remove the Email app in 5.0?
I think it's stupid that all the Email app does is tell you to use the GMail app for all accounts. I got and understood that the first time i launched Email, and now I'd like to remove the app (or at very least the Icon) if possible.
Thanks!

Disable the app
Edit: From the app drawer drag up to app info and then choose disable.

Thanks for this! I am having the issue now where my exchange emails don't give me a notifications. I have changed it where it should be showing but they don't. Also my messages are not being pushed automatically either. Any help?

Thanks!

[Q] Defaults?

I have the Verizon S7 and noticed when selecting default apps for browser, pics, video there seems to be no option for "Always" and "Just once". It's a small thing, but always like the popup with options. Any other carrier have this issue?
Don't like to go into Apps>Default app to reset things every time. Anyone know if there is a way to work around this?

Tmob is the same way. It sucks.

yeah, the wife use Zedge to change her txting notification and then realized all her notifications got changed. But when she went back to change her main notification sound the phone went straight to Zedge and didn't list the stock sounds.

Hey, after some digging I found some other Note users had this problem and use the app called "Better Open With" from the play store. Set that app as the default and it'll be a popup with choices again. Samsung tried to make this phone like Apple, we had freedom of choice dammit!

Great find! That app is the answer.

Noticed this also. Soooooo annoying. Thanks for the band-aid app suggestion above until they fix this.

Unfortunately "Better Open With" only partially solves the problem. It has a limited set of intents it listens too an misses many others. For instance if you attempt to send an email from a non-email application "Better Open With" does not show up in the list and you get the default behavior. I reached out to the author of "Better Open With" to see if he wants to open source the application so I can help to extend it. If he does not I'll have to come up with my own solution.

is Better open w/? the only solution for defaults? i've downloaded/installed it, but it never pops up.
How do we " Set that app as the default and it'll be a popup with choices again. "
Thanks

Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Set as default - Locate the application currently set as the default for whatever you are trying to open and choose the "Clear Defaults" button. Now when you attempt to open the file you'll see the chooser again and can select Better Open With.

Just got an ota software update for my international g930f. Browsed around phone settings and found that the app default options r now there. I cleared all app defaults and now when I click for an external link, I get the just once or always option now.
