There is an app on the play store calledPlan B. Its for after you lose your device, as long as it is powered on it will install and email you the location. I would think it works on tablets as well as phones. Never tried with a tablet.

Two frozen Google apps return

Two Google apps -- Play Books and Play Movies & TV -- keeping returning from the land of the frozen. I go back into TB Pro and refreeze, and within a couple of days at most they are back. All the other Google apps I've frozen remain so. Is there something else on the list I also need to freeze?
When I disable them in app manager they come back after a reboot as well. I think its tied to the play store or something that keeps activating them.

I checked on Play and on app manager for auto update option and don't see one. Odd that only these two are persistent despite freezing. I have the feeling there's another item on TB that needs freezing as well to fix this.
I got sick of this and since I do not want nor need them, I just deleted them

Ah, the more brutal approach. If that worked, and you have no regrets or issues as a result, that seems my only course of action as well.
Why you bother to freeze them or delete? It's part of former Google Market. Do.'t see benefit from deleting it. Can you share your thoughts?

Basically, I have four pages of icons under apps, and many of them are for services I have no interest in and will never use. I'm not trying to save space...I think there's 11 GB free, but I find the clutter off-putting.
Not sure I understand the part about Google Market. Play is just the same thing renamed, isn't it? Plus new look and feel.
Anyway, just de-cluttering the UI.
Yup it comes back now.. Use menu - > hide applications or you can stick them all in one folder and hide just that folder

Good grief...how did I not know about this. Hiding did the trick.

Does anyone have the apk for N.O.V.A. 2 HD that comes pre-installed on the Touchwiz ROMs?
I currently do not have this phone activated with Sprint and it will not download on Wi-Fi for some reason. I only have the shortcut link that tells you that it requires additional files. I do not need the SD files since I already have them.
If anyone can pm me a link it would be appreciated.

did u try play store? if not then maybe google it.. shouldnt be hard to find.. i for one paid for the latest nova

I checked the Play store and it needs to be purchased.
But when I still had Sprint service the app came with the phone. Upon first boot it installed a shortcut that once opened downloaded the application over 3G. Why should I pay for the app if it comes preloaded?
I've checked Google and the only ones I find will start the game where it loads the first cinematic then crashes. Skipping the cinematic will give a black screen then the app stops responding.

it was a demo
Well in that case I guess I don't want it if it was only a demo...
I never played it with my last E4GT... downloaded the files then bricked before trying it.

Google play service

Wth is this and why does it automatically install in my phone?
After a quick search:
Google Play services - Google services for Android apps
Google Play services lets Android apps from the Google Play Store integrate with Google+ and Google Accounts. To work correctly, some apps may require Google Play services to be present and up to date.
Google Play services is usually updated automatically on Android devices. You can also install or update it manually from the Google Play Store.

Galaxy Nexus wont instantly download

Hey guys. So, I normally use the PC play store website to download apps because its more comfortable. Usually when I clicked to download an app on the website it would automatically start the download on my Gnex, but now it only starts if I open the market app on my cellphone. What can I do to bring the instant transfer back? I'm running stock 4.2.1 non root

Is your Google account syncing properly and is sync turned on? Its probably an issue with the sync. Check under accounts.

No video sharing on Group Play 4.3 updated?

So I updated my mother's Note 2 with 4.3. The phone is stock and everything, my problem is and made real angry is that I wanted to show off some of the new feature that it has. So went to group play app to do the video sharing, but when I see, there isn't any video sharing to my surprise!!! What happen? I saw all those demo showing off the video sharing option with a Note 3 and a Note 2!
I was testing that out (half heartedly) with my girls GN3 and my newly OTA'd GN2 and couldn't get them to detect with the scan... just off work so I'll try a few more things and see if I can get anywhere
Edit:
So far no dice... double checked device status and Knox counter... everything is good. I did turn on my phone afterwards and noticed several app updates (most were for newer 4.3 apps) but not for group play or Samsung link...
As of right now I wasn't able to get my girls GN3 and my GN2 to recognize each other through any of the apps when referring to videos... (we also have a Samsung TV but no dongle yet)... was able to get music to play on both devices though...
Some things that I've noticed:
1. Her group play app is about half the size of mine (even though she has the GN3 and I'm on the GN2)
2. Her Group Play app is actually an older version than mine
3. Her Group Play app has an option of video sharing where mine doesnt... I only have music/documents/etc... but no video tab to share
Really the whole thing makes no sense lol... but ill continue looking around for answers... pretty stumped at this point as, like I said, they sync for music, just not videos
Something tells me the solution could be as simple as a setting, as boring as waiting for the app to update, or as complex as requiring a dev to manipulate resolution errors/compatibility issues etc and creating a work around... really no idea at this point

That app before downloading, request an insane amount of permissions that are irrelevant (in my opinion) to what it should be doing... is there a webpage, youtube video or anything else online available to show me what the app does?

I ripped this off my friends Note 3 and video share instantly appeared. Not sure if it does anything else but it solved my problem.

Post some screen shots of the app running... I mean even if I install it, how does the app work? Will it allow me to connect to the note 3? Ultimately I dont know why the new update doesnt have these options built in? Dont really care for 3rd party apps either

This apk doesnt run as such and wont appear in your app drawer. It seems to act as more of a plugin for group play.
Seems silly to me to. I dont see why it cant be part of the app.
Did you bother to try this in the end?
If you dont trust my file you can always download a stock N3 firmware and rip the apk from that yourself

Hey, thanks. Tried it but It won't install... pretty sure that it's because of non root stock. The question remains if a rooted phone would this work?

My phone is rooted. You could try placing it in system/apps and changing permissions to rw-r-r

The app is visible in the app drawer. The rom maker took out this app which needs to go in system app and change permission. https://www.dropbox.com/s/5jjiqqiw4rhmkmk/SecVideoList.apk

The app you have added is not the one required to make group play video sharing work. That one is part of the stock video player app.

I know. You were saying it doesn't appear in the app drawer. So you need this for it to appear. I like having the app in the app drawer instead going to the gallery which takes more time.

As far as i can tell it does not effect the streaming to tv function as this worked for me both with and without the share video apk.
Hi, do you guys have any idea about this? I'm trying to make the bluetooth shortcut to work but it says this app is not installed. I didn't have this problem on 4.1.2 version.now I'm on 4.3 not rooted. Thank you.

Okay after playing around and trying to figure out how to do this I find out how. You need a smart TV that's connected to your home network. That can recognize media files from your phone. Like a media server. I have a Sony TV so I went to settings turned on near by devices and allowed my TV to look in my phone. Then go to wherever on your TV to find the media connection and browse from your TV.
