[Q] App icons and Home screen downloads. - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All, I'm a newbie to my device and busy getting to know it and in general find it very easy.
However i have done something, as when i now download apps from playstore they are not appearing in the app page with an icon although they are downloaded. Also when i download the app it states that a shortcut has been created to my homepage (which is not full) but is not there.
The same is happening when i want to make shortcuts to my homepage for web pages.
Can any one help wit a fix.

I would just make sure youve synced everything with google and then do a factory reset through the settings menu pal.

Checked all my google settings and they all seem okay, don't want to be as drastic as a reset as i can still find them by going to files. But will still keep trying to resolve it.

[Q] Launcher pro bricked my phone

Hi,
I have the Htc Desire android 2.1 with launcher pro. I loved it until recently it is showing that Launcher Pro has expired & it won't allow me to do anything. I restarted the phone, took out the battery but nothing seems to work. I am basically locked out because I trusted this product. Please help me out here, I would appreciate it. Again, htc Desire 2.1,launcher pro free version saying expired & opening up the browser only. I can't do anything else & I can't reboot as I would lose my contacts & data.
I tried looking at the solutions provided over the internet but nothing suits my situation. A lot of those solutions work for android 2.2 but I have 2.1 which I cannot update right now. Please help me people.
Thanks in advance. My phone is bricked until one of you guys can tell me a solution.
First of all that is not a brick. Second can you get in to settings? If yes, got to application management go to launcherpro and clear the defaults hit the home button and select the Sense launcher or download 'ClearDefaultHome' and clear the defaults. If that does not work you can do a factory reset but you will lose all your data.
And last where did you get that version of launcher pro? From the market?
Same problem here - but for the HTC Wildfire...
I'm having exactly the same problem - My version of Launcher pro was downloaded from the Android Market and has worked fine until this morning when it expired.
My phone will not let me access my home screen or any of my applications. When I press 'Home' it just takes me to my browser which contains an error message stating 'You do not have permission to access /index.php on this server. Additionall, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request'.
As I cannot access my home screen, I am unable to access my settings in order to manage my applications and uninstall Launcher Pro... Starting to panic now!
Any suggestions would be appreciated!!!
Thanks x
Not bricked.
Erm, your phone is not bricked.
Well the way i see it,
1) you could email the maker of launcher pro and explain your situation, though I think its more of a user error
2) Do what TheGhost1233 said, try to go into your settings, and select clear default on launcher pro app. Use htc sense again.
3) factory reset everything and set up everything once again
4) root and flash a new rom (Its more fun )
edit* For people who can't access their settings, try downloading another app that allows you to change settings.
If a factory reset is a to big of a step you could also try to remover launcherpro (in recovery) via ADB.
Thanks for your replies! As ghost1233 and friedkimchi suggest, I am unable to go into my settings or do absolute anything with the phone. I have the exact same problem as described by the other person in this thread of not being able to anything but just go to the browser which I cannot use because wifi is not enabled and cannot be because I can't access anything.
I bought the launcher pro from the android market and it was a free version which I have been using for months now. I seriously want to avoid the factory reset thing until I can because I do not want to lose the data. If I have to then I will but just trying to see if I can avoid it somehow. Nothing seems to be working now.
Yes The Ghost1233, factory reset is a big step because I would lose all my data and contacts. But then, what is ADB and I thought recovery meant factory reset.

Thanks, this seems helpful and points us in the direction where everyone is suggesting us to go to i.e. install ADB and uninstall Launcher pro in recovery mode. There is this video provided in this link which tells how to do that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A1SOSXwkc_8
Is this what you guys think is the last resort we have here for this problem and if I install ADB, would that be make my phone rooted?
Thanks for all your help and replies!
No it won't root your phone but you will run in to the problem that your phone probably does not have USB debugging enabled.
But i suggest you follow the linked thread (the launcherpro forums) for further help.
I do not obviously want to run into any kind of problems. What do you suggest then. This is not something that I am choosing, I did not find any other options. Please suggest what would be my options given my situation. I am not a nerd so I do not know if I will be able to do all this installation thing properly or not. This was kind of a relief that this would not root my phone. I don't know why I am afraid of it but I really like the handset and I don't want it to be screwed because of anything.
Thanks
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol

it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

Yes, that's right. It was a free version that I have downloaded from the android market.
idk if some of you are still having the same problem but if you are, i got this from another forum and it seemed to work for them:
Hold down the 'home' key in order to start your native task manager.
You should see the Settings icon, probably in the bottom right, of your tasks.
If you don't see Settings, double-tap your Home key in order to open Voice Dialing. When it opens, say 'Open Settings.'
Once you're in Settings, go to Applications, and remove LauncherPro.
Hope this helps.

if that doesn't work you, and could open the browser type this in:

ps. my cousin had this problem and search for a solution and found it, just thought i would share since. xda always helps me out
Hey, I tried doing all this except for the download thing but it does not work. I cannot download anything because wifi is disabled and there is no way I can enable it. If I could have had a back up of my data I would have probably tried the hard reset.
I really appreciate all you folks to try and help me out. I am still trying.

I told you that when I pressed on the Search icon in the setting it makes restart too.
I think the best thing to do is to delete the search application, HOW?
Maybe the firmware is corrupted.
Try backing up you're files and flash the firmware again.
Or try Factory Reset.

No since that apps is a inbuilt app you cannot delete it that way.
The only options are,
1) To uncheck the selected categories in Search.
2) To Factory Reset you're device(like reinstalling the whole os)
3) Flash the firmware again using Multiloader.

I just restarted the device...
give a look here and give a look to the other screenshot i posted before
screenshot 1: two gmail icons
screenshot 2: 2 videoplayer icons
no reason for this
OH!!! now i remember the biggest change i did lately...
a couple of days ago...i installed a .apk file to open flash animated web sites...then i had to install Firefox, because ive read that it is the only one browser that can browse flash sites...after installing that small file...i downloaded it somewhere on a forum of developers...not here...i dont remember where...but i was happy because it worked...i can now see flash sites on firefox...
could be an issue with the sidebar??? mmmmmm
But...i repeat...I HAVE NEVER EVER seen the edit button since the first day i had the baby....
This is strange indeed. Your warranty should covers software issues right? If so, you can take it to them and tell them the problem.
But first you should do a Factory Reset of the phone and see if it solves it (warning: this will delete your data).
You could also flash a new stock rom that has the sidebar working properly over your existing rom.

Backup your stuff, reinstall firmware (Kies or Odin).
Setup scripts might have failed on first startup.
Yes, factory reset restores your phone to its original state, so it deletes everything. However, things like contacts, messages, settings, call logs can be backed up easily though through Google and Samsung servers. Also make sure to backup your music, videos, pictures and other media files stored in your internal memory to your PC, as they will be deleted as well. So basically you can restore these things easily, the only thing that you have to restore manually are your apps.
(if you're rooted you can backup your apps and their data using Titanium backup and similar apps, but since you're not rooted you have to download and install them again if you decide to reset).
Who's your provider? My phone is branded by T-Mobile. It seems that the branded models of the n7105 all have this issue. Mine is 3 days out of the box and I'm having the same problem. No edit button and some apps doubled.
I've read similar issues in other forums - all with the 7105 Models

Please, give just a few words about reinstalling the firmware...
I just have to connect the phone with a PC with Kies...and then i have to choose 'firmware upgrade'?
Or i should do the hard reset from the phone menu then connect with pc and kies and proceed with the upgrade??

Thx Moh...now i Have the complete view of my phone's future
as i wrote...the hard reset will do again the start up of the firmware automatically? or i have to connect with Kies later?
The factory reset should restore your phone as you first bought. (remember the first day you opened the phone, when it asked you to enter your google account, samsung account, dropbox account etc etc) that's what a factory reset does, it restores the phone to "factory" state-- hence the name. You don't have to connect to kies later.
If after factory reset you still have the problem, then that means that they gave you a buggy software, and you can tell them that.
To be honest? If I were in your position I would probably root my phone, find appropriate firmware in www.sammobile.com, and flash that in my phone through Odin. However, I didn't recommend this route to you as you seem to be inexperienced in doing this kind of stuff and it may void your warranty (or worse, brick your phone) if you don't know what you're doing. That's why I suggested factory reset, which can be done from the phone itself, it is perfectly safe to do, and doesn't require any experience to perform.

What app is sending you these notifications? File Manager? App Manager?
Hold down on the notification until you see a bell and an i. Hit the i to get information.
There should be a box that says notifications on the app info... Uncheck that. Reboot the phone and see if it appears again (It shouldn't).

If you're on Lollipop:
Hold down on the notification and get the info. Make sure it's unchecked (Could be a different app sending that one).
If it's already unchecked:
Go to your settings and find "Notification Manager". Enter this and hit "App notifications". Find the app that sent the above notification and tap on it. Now you can adjust it and set priorities and whatnot. For this, block notifications from it.
This may block notifications for system updates as well, but you can still check it manually. Plus, system updates don't happen very often so not seeing it won't really matter.
EDIT: Misunderstood what you meant... I underlined what to do in your case.
Edit 2: I'm running a custom ROM and that's how I would do it in my case. I failed to remember that the stock ROM may not have added these features, so you can also do this (for sure) but going to your settings and hitting apps, then scrolling over to all. Find the app manager (or whatever app uses the same icon as the one sending you the notifications) and click on it. Now you can uncheck the displaying of notifications from it.

Read that^^^
Also, unchecking notifications from "Google Service Framework" may remove notifications for these type of updates.
If you are rooted and already have SuperSU you can download Titanium backup and uninstall any app from your phone. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME APPS ARE IMPORTANT. Also, make sure you backup the file before removing it via titanium (backup through titanium backup) in case you for some reason need it back. This may or may not remove the prompt to update the app, but way back when (if I remember correctly) it did for me.

Glad to hear it! If you ever have any more questions feel free to PM me.
Also, I would highly recommend you try out a free app called "LG Tweaks Box". It'll make your phone feel so much better and have tons of customization!
I'm not sure if this even/still applies but when I was on KitKat (LG G3 2GB) I rooted my device then used either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer File Manager and looked in the data\op folder on device and deleted anything I didn't want (mainly anything carrier related which was all of the H3G_COM folder (30 items) as it was a 3 UK handset) then reflashed firmware and wiped device and I have never had any apps forced on me since, i've even disabled auto restore of apps from Google Play on first sign in so I can be choose what I wanted installed at each reflash/wipe.
Back up the OP folder first as It is handy for later if ever needed
Again not sure if this even/still applies
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply
But sorry to say that my Data/Op folder has no Carrier APPs
i have done a full search on phone an just cant find the junk
i still have a message saying i have 15 APPs to update even with APP update frozen with RootUninstaller

Try installing them then using titanium backup to remove them completely including all files.
Sent from XDA app via my LG G3 D851.

Edge takes 1.6GB of space

Edge takes up too much space. "Clear browsing data" does nothing and I cannot uninstall it so every time there is an update I have to uninstall every app on the phone to be able to install the update. Only solution is to do a reset of a phone, I did it once and now it seems like I'll have to do it again if I don't find workaround.
It seems like "Clear browsing data" is not doing the proper job and it can't delete some cached data or something like that. Is there way to delete those files manually somehow ?

I can't post ss because I'm new to the forum, I need 10 posts to post outside links and I cannot attach it either but there is not much to see, when I go to advanced options I get "App add-ons & downloadable content" and it's empty..."There are no add-ons currently installed for this app".
Here?

Hmm, I don't even have that "Storage usage and app reset", I only see "App add-ons & downloadable content"

Choise what to clear.

Edge takes up too much space. "Clear browsing data" does nothing and I cannot uninstall it so every time there is an update I have to uninstall every app on the phone to be able to install the update. Only solution is to do a reset of a phone, I did it once and now it seems like I'll have to do it again if I don't find workaround.
It seems like "Clear browsing data" is not doing the proper job and it can't delete some cached data or something like that. Is there way to delete those files manually somehow ?

Go to "Clear Browsing Data" and select all the choices that are available there and press "Clear"
If this didn't help, I recommend you to hard reset your phone, if you'll, don't forget to backup your data before.

Why don't you try to uninstall it with interop tools and then download and install again?

How ? I don't see the option to uninstall apps from interop tools...
Ok I found it but it cannot be uninstalled unfortunately.

You can uninstall oem apps with interop, there's another way to do it "manually", you have to enter your phone with full system access and delete the app, there are a few guides in this forum on how to do that. What build of w10 are you in? if you are in RS2 there's a new option for that, you can reset the app and clear the data with the reset button.

When I try to uninstall it from interop it starts "Fetching information for packages" and when it finishes literally nothing happens Edge is still there.
Im on 10.0.14393.1066, I don't have that feature, someone already proposed that.
