As the title states the new update is garbage. What's the point of a new ui if the app is stripped of all previous functions from the old one. Is there a way I can roll back to the old? Before the last firmware update I was able to prevent the app from auto updating. Now I'm stuck with shell of what used to be a awesome app.
I didn't think anyone used this app I just freeze done.
Doesn't it tap into the white pages app? The white pages app is free and is called Hiya.

Like whoa, looks nice. Explains why my phone was showing the GPS icon this morning even though I had no apps open, lol. Sucks though because it auto updated my Skype from VZW.
Anyone know how I can get that out of My Apps since I use the real Skype app? Its irritating to always see it needed an update even though my other Skype app is up to date.

If you're rooted you can move the Skype apk to another directory, rename it, or freeze it.
Titanium backup pro (if you are rooted, you should have this app) can freeze, remove, rename bloat.

I second Titanium Pro if rooted, super simple.
For some reason with the new market I can't buy apparently that cost $$

Anyone else notice that they can only DL or update 1 app at a time on wifi and 3g. In the past i could have multiple downloads going instead of them being queued. Strange, guess it keeps the market more stable.

Yeah, I noticed that
DROID X running liberty GB V.8
Anyone else notice that no app screenshots appear? I just get an error on the screenshots and the Retry button does nothing.
Can anyone tell me if an app gets updated will any part of the old app be left behind? Like if I install an .apk from some random website, then update it in the play store, is any part of the old app left? Or is it completely new?

Once an update is there, its the updated app. If you downloaded an apk to side load it, you may have the original apk from the download, but the app is new.

I'm curious because I installed a copy of the Aviate launcher that I got from some random webpage, then updated it in the store. I'm just concerned with the original app being altered in some way that would transmit personal information. So I have the new update, but I don't know if it can still be tainted after the update. That's what I really want to know.
Edit ( I just noticed that you're from Spring Hill. I live in Murfreesboro.)
Does aviate push out updates to thier launcher?
I don't use it so I'm not sure how it works or if it would.
But once an app updates, it updates. I just pushed an update to an app I manage, and it completely replaces everything.

I'm not sure if my issue is Nova launcher or another issue.
The calendar date on the icon is not changing automatically.
Does anybody else have this issue?
I have to long press on it every day to update the date displayed on the icon.

(I'm sorry for answering my own post. If I try to edit it says invalid id and processing for a while)
I wanted to edit the topic name to S-Planner.
I just looked in the topic "show your home screen".
I can see a lot of people have the same issue as l have.
Some people have the correct date on the S-Planner icon as I have, but a lot of people have the data 31 on it.
I need to update mine manually, but I guess that not everyone else that have the correct date do that as well, or do they?
I guess people that have the 31 date displayed on the S-Planner icon want to change it to the correct one as well.

It's not supposed to change. It is just an icon. You need the widget if you want changing dates.
Thank you for answering, but my S-Planner icon is changing so I guess I have to stick with that icon until I find an automatically updated widget that are 1x1 in size

Did S-planner came pre-installed on your Note 4? T-MOBILE US version doesn't include that, only standard Samsung Calendar.
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
Yes.
Note 1,2, 3 and 4 got it.
Now the icon is working.
I moved it up from the dock and it changed date at midnight.
Can't say I like it when it says 31.
S Planner is one of the best things with Note.
Are you saying you have to manually install it?

Hello I have a weird situation that I haven't found a fix yet. I work and travel on the road and switch between navigation apps when selecting a destination through the calendar app with my appointments etc. It sets the first navigation app I choose as the default. On every phone I have ever had I could have those apps and pick at will which one I needed on the fly without a default one.

My solution. Install

Make sure to choose that app as open with for your apps, it will pop up with a screen like older versions of android every time after.

Thanks for posting that app!! I've been looking for a way around this as well. That's one of the changes in Android that absolutely hate!

Hi guys
Just installed the MM update for my Note 4. Didn't notice any difference at first, then discovered that Allcast no longer streams to my Xbox DLNA, and also now in the gallery whenever you click on a video it gives you the choice of apps to open it with ONCE then automatically sets that as the default, so if I want to open a video in a different player I now have to go into app manager and clear the defaults. Then I can open with the app I want. But that gets set as default too so it never ends.
This is really REALLY annoying.
Please does anyone know of a fix around this?
Many thanks.

Indeed a very annoying update all around!
No fix, but an app called 'Better open with'.

+1 for this, been using it for years: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith
Basically you set it as the default app for opening a particular file type or link, and then within this app you can choose which other apps are allowed to open said files or links. You can also have a countdown to open with a default choice, giving you a few seconds to choose an alternative.
Been meaning to ask this since I upgraded to MM, always thought that this was a stupid MM feature, but now I see this is a bug right?
Thanks to that app anyway, don't like unnecessary apps, but still better than annoyance caused by waste of time.
It's not a bug, it's a further stupidity from Samsung. You can find this so called feature nobody wants on other devices as well (Note 5 and S7).
Thanks guys. Will try that app out.
This is without doubt the worst software update yet, so much to complain about!
