I just got the XPE 2015 today and can't get these two app to work. Clash of Clan is just stuck at a blank dark screen. I already install the app/ reboot the phone several time.
Hitman Sniper isn't working either. The app launches but get stuck at 100% installation. I am serious thinking about returning if I can't these super popular game to work on a brand new phone.
Clash works great on my Moto xpe ... Not sure what might cause that... Are you dl on Wi-Fi or mobile network? Sometimes mobile causes errors

It's a simple game that works on $50 phone. I don't see why the hell XPE is giving me so much trouble. I did root it but I don't see how that has anything to do with it.
Works fine here since day 1.

Found the root cause but I can't fix it. I convert facebook to system app by mistake, STUPID of me but it happened. I try to uninstall it using system app remover apps but that only removed the APK file but the phone still thinks it's still installed. I go to Play Store, I don't see any option to uninstall, just disable. Not sure what to do next now.

I am new to Android, still got my iphone 3GS as a backup. One reason for switching was to be able to watch flash video, the problem I have is because apps and services never seem to close, no matter what I try, video too slow to play with everything else running.
Is it possible to stop services on the Galaxy Note so they don't restart automatically, unless I want them to? I have tried several killer apps, but does not really do it. Why is not possible to only run one app and service at a time or why I want?
Help!!!

There are some apps and services which restart upon closing manually. The only way to have them remain closed is by freezing them or uninstalling them. You have to first root your phone and then install Titanium Backup. In there you will have to either uninstall the apps/services or freeze them. It also works on stock apps which came pre-installed on the phone. Just be careful not to uninstall any apps which are part of the O/S.
you need to root your phone, and rum a root level app manager.
This method worked on my Galaxy Note:

once you rooted, install titanium backup. To back up all you apps. If you are willing to pay, this app will let you freeze apps not to run in the background as well.
Or install gemini apps manager, it allows you to change the autostart, block, and uninstall any apps you want.
Just becareful not to block or uninstall importNt system apps.They are addictive because you feel powerful and in control.
Hi there.
I have a Xperia Play with .042 firmware (stock ROM), and only rooted (locked bootloader).
My phone works well, but sometimes feels a bit laggy. I've noticed in the Running Apps list that a lot of times Google Maps turns on even if I didnt open it, and it causes me a lot of that lag, so I have to close it and then the Xplay works well again.
So, my question is, can I uninstall Google Maps and then reinstall it from the Play Store as a non-system app? This should stop thet the app opens itself on its own...
What problems can cause uninstalling Google Maps?
I don't think making it a non system app will stop it from running in the back. I just uninstalled it altogether

It's just Google spying on you. No need to worry.
If you are not sure just freeze it with titanium backup or system tuner pro or something. Nothing will happen if you uninstall it tho.

Use an app called Autostarts to control which apps start automatically and when. No need to uninstall or freeze anything. Its like msconfig/startup manager for android. Its a root app so it gets the job done properly, meaning it stops apps from starting in the first place, not one of those useless apps which kills them after they start.

Good idea. I've frozen it and for now my Xplay goes perfect.

I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Upgraded to 4.4 with a clean wipe. I uninstalled some of the Google apps I never use such as currents ect. After awhile some apps start to force close such as settings. After I reboot or wipe cache or both the apps then reinstall themselves. Strange. I have never had a problem like this in any other version of android. Anyone else?

yea, i found out two weeks ago that you cant uninstall system apps in kitkat without getting a fc in settings. my way around it, i disabled 19 of the apps found in /system/app/ instead of deleting them. it seems to work just as well. pick any of the apps, select to view its info, tben press disable in the app info screen. itll remove that app from the app drawer as well.
Thanks Simms. Your one helpful dude! I always felt better totally getting ride of them to open up more space but it is what it is.

its what i do too, and always done. i have found that you can delete a few apps in /system/app/, like plus one, but they cant be considered system apps. its one of the first things i noticed about kitkat, that settings fc after removing system apps.

This is wrong on so many levels. After years rooting and running custom roms, I'm suddenly stuck with a load of bloatware if I upgrade to 4.4. I only use the account manager and Play Store and don't want any other Google apks, and would like to do without even those two, in fact I have no Google account 99% of the time and both are disabled unless I have to update something.
Hope there's a way out of this...

About a month ago I randomly got a Final Fantasy app and a flashlight app installed. The only apps I installed that weren't from the play store were Amazon underground, the official pornhub app (for kicks), and a PSX emulator from a 3rd party website (would cost money in Play Store). That PSX emulator is what I suspect. I didn't like the UI and uninstalled it a week ago, yet today I see the same Final Fantasy and flashlight app installed again. I fear some type of trojan adware is stuck on my phone. How would I see what is installing these apps?
edit: it also installed a Solitaire app I forgot to mention
Try malwarebytes in the play store. Their PC version is solid. I have kaspersky for my android devices and it is very good. Gotta pay though! Third party sites won't work ; )
Ive heard of this before... I can't remember the name of the app doing it but some service providers include this somewhat hidden app that installs apps like this. The other case even included Final Fantasy. Look in the Apps settings panel (include system apps) and look for anything sketchy. I wish I could remember the name of it!

People make fun of antivirus apps. Saying they don't work and blah blah blah. I side load apps alot and I mean alot of apps. I use an antivirus for the anti theft and malware and I suggest you get avg ASAP if you plan on side loading apps. But that's in my opinion.
BTW can you share the pornhub app, I would like it for research purposes ?
You have Verizon to thank for this.
The app is called DT Ignite. Its crapware that installs apps when your phone sets up or randomly. Its a system app so make sure its the first thing you freeze.
I did notice that when I set up my phone recently when it updated it changed the name to "Mobile Services Manager" or something similar.

Thanks! I bought my phone off eBay unlocked from U.S. Cellular to use on Verizon, and I didn't think that'd be the culprit given the network change. I've disabled the app now.

Ugh, same thing just happened to me. "Mobile Services Manager" was the culprit
A TitaniumBackup freeze on that trojan VZW app should do the trick and prevent further assaults.

They throw it on a LOT of variants, it was on my us996.
I have a 6t tmobile version that I updated to the international version and I have an app that won't load. When I click on it I acts like is going to open and then closes instantly. Is supper quick that you don't really see it. Help. The app is the YouVersion bible app. The thing is that the app was working fine before the update to international version. And the only older versions work.
Every time I update I have a few apps that do this. I have to open the play store and let Android system WebView update to cure this problem. Have you checked for updates yet?

Oh, I get it. Did you disable it? That is very weird. That was needed and it being outdated was the exact cause of my problems when I had similar issues that you describe.
I remove many things from OOS, but I've noticed there a few things I have to make sure are up and running before I remove otherwise I have issues.
What I would do is try and re-enable that and update it. See if that fixes it. If it does great. Try and disable it again after that if you want. However I think you may need it. Otherwise if you are rooted, back up that app with TitaniumBackup, and probably it's data in Android / Data folders and try a fresh install (This should be a last resort)? <-- That is unless it's an app that doesn't really have data that matters. If it's something that can be freshly installed without worry go ahead.

I figure out how to enable it, but it did not help. The app keeps opening and closing instantly
try this
force stop the app, its probably running in the background
wipe the cache and data in the app(settings/apps and notifications/
then un install the app
now reboot, and let the phone settle in a minute
go to app store and try to download/ install again
thats what I would try.

I did that however it does the same thing am just going to wait for an update.
email the developer and let him know about your issue..
Thanks for all the help. I finally got it to work. What I ended up doing was reseting the phone. I guess the last time when I used the oneplus backup app it cause a problem. Or a least that is what I think. I used the Google backup instead.
I found the answer
Hi i hope it can help for myself i finally got the ultimate tricks to prevent any background app to be killed especially the bible using text to speech output you only need to move your app to system ?
