Bit of a weird one but I was looking for Sony Smart Connect on my Z5 and couldn't see it in the app drawer although it is installed and not disabled. I also have Xperia Transfer Mobile installed but it's not there either. I tried reinstalling them both from the play store but they're still not visible.
On my previous phones (S5 and S4) I was able to hide the stock apps ( Like the File Explorer) from the drawer without going into private mode. I cannot seem to do that on my S6. Is there something I'm missing? I only want to hide the apps, not disable or uninstall them.
I got a Galaxy S6 Edge a couple of weeks ago. Everything was as it should be until a few days ago. The phone icon went missing and it's not listed with in the apps area/drawer. However, when I check under Application Manager, its shows three phone applications which seem to be dupes. They can't be uninstalled or disabled. I've done force close and restarted the phone but no luck. I'm using Nova Launcher. I just got the the phone set-up the way I wanted so the the thought of a factory reset makes me queasy.
I am interested in purchasing the Nexus 6 but need to know if I can arrange the apps in the app drawer alphabetically automatically and keep them sorted that way even when I install new apps.
This will be a deal breaker for me if it can't be done as I can do it on my Note 4.
I have updated my Sony Z2 from 4.4.4 to 5.0.2 and two "File Commander" are displayed when tap Applications. "Restore to factory" from phone and "Repair my phone" with PC Companion had not any effect. How could I remove the old version?
I got an apk file of the new Google Now Launcher which is an official launcher by Google and I couldn't find how to hide useless apps which cannot be uninstalled.
Is there a way to hide them? I thought I should post here if the Nexus 5 users know how to do it.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 Plus GT-I9105. It's not rooted and I never will.
I have transferred successfully all my content from iPhone 5 to my Xperia z3.
I used Sony Bridge for Mac doing that. It said, that in the end it would be a "pop up" on my phone giving me further instructions how to open the apps, messages on the phone - but It never came one.I can see that the content is over, because it now have 9GB less memory than before, but how I can come in contact with the content.
I 'm just opening a new discussion after SONY decided to buy the rest 50% of Ericsson's stocks.Last night I was furious with some news I read from SE and was also furious with something I found out when.I tried to connect to SE PC Companion. But let's take things from the beginning.
I'm a NON proud owner (no more) of a SE XPERIA X10. I bought this phone for 600 Euro, almost a year ago The support and solutions I found to my problems with this phone was absolutely NONE! Nobody cares if you have a problem with a 600 Euro piece and you have almost no support from SE. We spent 8 months trying to persuade SE to release 2.3.3 for X10 only to find out that half of the things were removed from the phone and that most of the things you can do with PC Companion Wirelessly with all the other phones, you CANNOT do them with X10!!! Not to mention the speed of the phone.
I've been really happy with the S6 and was able to customize most things that were bothering me, except this .In the app drawer, is there a way to change the way the navigation between pages work and make it like it was on the S5.On the S5, you could go to a specific page in one click on the bottom "bar", and you could hold you finger on it and slide to scroll quickly through pages.On the S6, none of those work, clicking a specific page in that bottom bar just goes to the next (or previous) page.Now that Xposed works, is there something that can fix this?
I was able to do this in the Galaxy S4, but now it's gone. Since I did a restore of my previous phone's backup, all apps installed in a random order - and that's how my app list is now sorted.
How can I sort that alphabetically? I can live with manual sort (I've seen people speaking of the "A-Z" button in the app drawer, but I don't have it), automatic would be better.
I noticed that sometimes (actually, somewhat frequently) the animation to open the app drawer is a little choppy and laggy. And then the actual app drawer (swiping left and right) also has slightly choppy animation as it moves from each page of apps.
This goes away if you press home, and then return back to the app drawer.
My friend's 2014 Moto X PE, Android 5.1, running on Cricket has a vertically scrolling app drawer as opposed to the horizontal version. He says this changed last night, but he never installed an OS update. As a matter of fact, he still has not installed the Stagefright update. I have the same phone running on T-Mo and have not seen that change.
I have s6 Edge. I cannot create folders in application menu. I know you are suppose to press 'EDIT' and then drag application to drop onto another one. For me selected application just goes back to its original location.
With the recent purchase of my S6 edge I'm new to android and have some quick questions.
First, is there any way to sort the app drawer alphabetically? When I click on edit the only option I get is to disable or uninstall apps.
Secondly, I recently read a tip somewhere that said to reboot into safe mode and then restart to normal. This would improve battery life. Not sure if this is the cause but I did see an improvement after that. Anyway, I also noticed that apps in the app drawer are now scattered across 6 screens with some containing only 1 or 2 icons.
What changed overnight for my phone. My app drawer now scrolls down instead of flipping through pages. And at the top of the page seems to be a "most used" section.
I still don't have the G4 but I was badly surprised that increasing fonts size in settings won't affect the homepage and drawer fonts! Can you "force" them to increase size due to a font size resizer app??
The app drawer icon in dock can't be move and I want to be able to move it away from the dock. Is there any way on how to be able to move it. I am using Stock TW Launcher. My S6 (G920F) is rooted. Not want to use USING 3rd party launchers. I want TOUCHWIZ. I JUST WANT TO MOVE THE APP DRAWER ICON FROM THE DOCK.
Switched to a Turbo from an htc one (m7) and it had all the google services and verizon software in folders on the app drawer by default, was wondering how to create them in the app drawer on the turbo to mimic that.
I just got a S6 Edge. In the app drawer there are four folders (Google, Verizon, Samsung, Tools and Amazon) with apps in them. I would like to delete one of those folders and put the apps individually into the app drawer. It won't let me do this. I can move apps from the app drawer to the home pages but not the other way around. Is there a way to do this?
is it possible to create folders in the app drawer of Launcher pro? Also, is it possible to create folders within folders (on homescreen or app drawer)
Wanted to create some folders in my App Drawer, I already have a couple, and it has stopped working. I go to App Drawer and tap Edit, but dragging an app over another does not give me a folder, it does nothing. Also, I cannot remove apps fom existing folders I created over the weekend. How to correct this?
when i doublepress the home button and the multitasking drawer opens up, it appears to be empty. i can tell this is a problem because when i use sbsettings and check the running processes, i see many apps are still running. at the very least i should see ipod controls in the drawer.this wasnt always the case, i know that right when i finished jailbreaking (before i synced all my apps over itunes) i did see ipod controls and sms in the drawer (those were the only 2 apps i tried before doing that initial sync). i then synced over any apps i had but failed to install anything that was from installous (depending on appsync). that was expected. i think (not sure really) that when the official apps loaded i was still able to have apps appear in the multitasking drawer. i think installed aptbackup from cydia and tried to restore all. i manually chose installous and appsync 4.0 from cydia because i noticed that they didnt install after the restore all. i then synced again with itunes. now i got all my installous apps back on the phone. this is when i checked the multitasking drawer again and i didnt have any icons! so i am going to assume its one of the cydia packages thats giving me this issue. i was hoping someone here might have a clue as to which package might cause this. i got a list of all my packages i am sharing below: code: apr-lib apt apt7 apt7-key apt7-lib apt7-ssl backgrounder base bash berkeleydb bigboss bzip2 com.bigboss.aptbackup com.chrissoftware.whatsnext com.ericasadun.utilities com.hackulo.us.installous com.hackulo.us.sourcegui com.planet-iphones.drakefindyourlove com.saurik.privacy com.seankovacs.gvmobile com.theme.lush com.xsellize.updatr com.zdziarski.nesapp coreutils coreutils-bin curl cydia cydia-sources darwintools diffutils diskdev-cmds dpkg essential eu.heinelt.ifile expat file-cmds file2mail findutils firmware firmware-sbin gawk gnupg grep gsc.accelerometer gsc.accessibility gsc.all-features gsc.app-store gsc.application-installation gsc.armv6 gsc.armv7 gsc.auto-focus-camera gsc.bluetooth gsc.cellular-data gsc.contains-cellular-radio gsc.encode-aac gsc.encrypted-data-partition gsc.fcc-logos-via-software gsc.gas-gauge-battery gsc.gps gsc.h264-encoder gsc.hiccough-interval gsc.homescreen-wallpaper gsc.hw-encode-snapshots gsc.international-settings gsc.io-surface-backed-images gsc.launch-applications-while-animating gsc.load-thumbnails-while-scrolling gsc.location-services gsc.magnetometer gsc.microphone gsc.mms gsc.multitasking gsc.music-store gsc.nike-ipod gsc.not-green-tea gsc.opengles-1 gsc.opengles-2 gsc.peer-peer gsc.proximity-sensor gsc.ringer-switch gsc.sms gsc.stand-alone-contacts gsc.still-camera gsc.telephony gsc.telephony-maximum-generation gsc.tv-out-crossfade gsc.unified-ipod gsc.video-camera gsc.voice-control gsc.voip gsc.volume-buttons gsc.wifi gsc.Internet gsc.Internet-plugin gzip ispazio.net jp.ashikase.kirikae libactivator libffi libhide libxml2 libxml2-lib lzma mobilesubstrate mobileterminal modmyifone ncurses net.scott-wallace.iphone.appbackup network-cmds odcctools openssh openssl p7zip pam pam-modules pcre pincrush preferenceloader profile.d pyobjc python readline saurik sbsettings sbsettingstoggles sed setuptools shell-cmds sqlite3 sqlite3-lib system-cmds tar uicaboodle.py uikittools ultrasn0w unrar unzip us.hackulo.appsync31 us.hackulo.appsync40 us.hackulo.security uuid winterboard yellowsn0w.com zip zodttd edit: i just noticed that the package for appsync31 looks like its still installed which is probably a bad thing. when i go through cydia it is not installed, this is the output of dpkg so i trust that this is accurate. any idea of how to remove that package without cydia?
edit 2: now i'm not really sure what is going on with that package, i am trying to use dpkg to remove it but this is what i get when i try to find out the status of that package
I got my 5.1 update weeks ago maybe a month I don't remember, but just this morning I go into my app drawer and i find it scroll vertically. I didn't update last night, left my phone plugged in and in all night. How our why did this change take place?
Is it possible without root to get rid of these from the notification drawer? I thought initially that s finder was handy but have never used it and what quick connect is (when i click on it all it does is turn bluetooth on??) which is stupid because the bluetooth toggle is directly above it!
