Best app for controlling unwanted tasks? - Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's a good app for disabling other apps that automatically start in the background? Some apps are so irritating they keep coming back, after i kill the task.

Try Gemini App Manager from the market. Keep in mind that not every app can be disabled.

Have you successfully side loaded any apps, is it enabled on your device?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
You will need to enable non market apps

You have to enable sideloading. Search for it on youtube. There are a couple videos on how to do it. Or follow the above link. Att keeps us away from bring able to set the option to side load.

Yeah I know. You have to enable sideloading, or you can only use the apps from the market.

I just downloaded it the other day. Make sure you content filtering isn't hiding it.
I rebooted and checked my market settings, I'm not seeing it? I guess if ya still have the app -don't uninstall.

just download the market enabler from the marken then apply in settings t mobile usa and thats all everything will appear in market
Thx for the helpful suggestions. Market enabler requires root, and thats beyond my mental capacities....I barely got this typed up. Lol

Task manager?

What task manager are you guys using... Since Motorola did not put one on here like the original atrix
Sent from my MB886 using xda app-developers app
I don't use one. If there is an open app I just swipe it closed using the bottom right soft key, seems to kill the app.
On ICS it didn't seem to kill it, now it does, but I could be wrong.

Actually swiping from the "recent apps" does not kill the app. HUGE "wives tail"

Android kills apps automatically when needed. So why use a task manager?

Not reciveing sms notifications aswell as others!

As the title states I'm not reciveing sms notifications aswell as some other apps like xda and such. I restarted my gear and phone still nothing tried unchecking it and checking it from the gear manager app and Nada any help will be appreciated gear isn't rooted
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Not sure why but today I spotted getting text notifications. Previously all was fine so not sure why. Hopefully some clever soul will help us both.

Try getting the latest updates for both the gear and manager (via SamsungApps). Worst case scenario if you already have the latest, is reseting the watch and clearing the application data for Gear manager from Settings/General/Application Manager

gear needs to have lock screen enabled on your phone cant be set to none. At least swipe in order for notifications to be pushed, had the same problem fixed mine
Seems to only work with the stock messaging app too. I was using handcent and was wondering why I couldn't get the notifications well I turned off all the notifications on that app and when my phone was in screen lock then I would get them. Email needs to be set auto get mail what ever interval you want not manually. And again in lock screen seems to work for me anyway.

That doesn't help I wiped the data under app managers, gear manager and reseted my gear from the gear itself then gear manager app still nothing I have swipe enabled no 3rd party messaging apps. Again I'm not rooted.

Deleting watchfaces

Outside of doing a factory reset, is there a way to delete items on the smartphone?
Sent from my Next7P12-8G using xda app-developers app
You delete watch faces through the pebble phone app. At the top of the app you touch and select watch apps. Then delete by pressing the little X.

I wanna delete the default ones or is there any way that you can disable the switch between faces every time you hit the up and down buttons???

No, we still don't have a way of removing default watchfaces. You can install Glance (or similar) and those buttons will be usable for other cool functions!

You can't delete the default watch faces, but you can install custom firmware to get rid of them. Go to www.pebblebits.com and you can choose what you want to remove. I got rid of everything but Notifications and Settings.
