I noticed that some apps work when you try to minimize them with popup and some don't get "Cannot open this application in pop-up" wonder if that's a Samsung or app issue.
Yeah its weird..guessing a Samsung thing.

Hi,
I have a doubt in "Force stop"ing applications.
I have some applications that run in background after closing it. For example Facebook, YouTube, etc.,
If I use any task manager to kill the app, it automatically opens again in seconds.
But I came to know from one of xda member, if we "Force stop" the application using settings -> app manager, it will not be started until we launch the application again. My expected option.
Now my question:
Is there any app available in market that force closes (not kill) selected apps?
Note: Please don't bring up the story that "android by itself have task killer and manage itself". I want to know a functionality similar to force stop available in app manager.
Thanks in advance,
Senthur

give it a try...
also you can find the old version on market (the market version makes my sgs restart).
i installed a calc.apk manually via adb push. i see the app in my app list on the watch, however when i restart the app is gone. i also have nova launcher installed, and can see the calc app is actually still installed, it's just not showing anymore on the touchwiz launcher. is there something i can uncheck, or check from my phone that is screwing it up from a sync or something?
** i actually tested turning off the bluetooth on my phone so it wouldn't pair with watch. and i rebooted phone after re-pushing the calc file. the file stays in my app list. so somewhere something is unsyncing information from phone to watch when it pairs. i just dont know where to look.

***further testing - i installed gear manager v1.6.132701 - phone said i had to update to use samsung gear manager. i did. as long as i dont show the device *paired in samsung manager, all side loaded apps seem to work fine. if i pair it in manager, poof the app disappears until i disable pair and restart watch.
Known issue (feature?) of later versions of gear manager. Sideloaded apps will disappear from touchwiz launcher (you need to downgrade gm or install another launcher)

I dont want to use the standard messaging app as the "standard messaging app" and would rather use evolve, but the gear keeps making me select the stock one to get notifs on the watch. any advice on how to get around this?
resolved
no love??
just an fyi, ive used lucky patcher to enable "pebble notifications" option in evolve, still no joy
situation resolved. Just had to go into the gear manager and uncheck the "messages" app and check "evolvesms" simple fix, just irritating that it took me so long to figure it out
Hi,
There are no errors. This is not about apps crashing, nor messages with "OK" & "Report". The apps just disappear off the screen. They just close, instantly.
I know that in MM, Uninstalling the Updates to the "WebView" app seems to fix the problem, but I don't see anything like that when viewing "All Apps".
Does anybody know how to fix this problem, PLEASE??? It is VERY annoying!!! I do not want to go up to MM. I tried it and don't want it.
Thank You!!!

I wanted to know if you guys know any apks for malware or antivirus. I have been getting a lot of pop ups. I installed kapersky and malware bytes but they both do anything.
pop ups when browsing and or apps? Most likely you'll need ad blocking software and or browser extension.

It seems to be ad pop ups. I would be using an app such as whatsapp or watching a video through my gallery and the add just pops up out nowhere. it has never done that before.
If you get apps from places that are not "trusted sources" many of them have these pop up ads.
Go through and we which apps have Device Admin, Accessibility, and Draw Over Other Apps permissions
Are you using stock Gallery or another app?

Personally, I do not use any antivirus on my phone. I tried some of them before but finally gave up due to the large consumption to the phone memory which results into a slowdown of system and a faster drain of power. Plus, the major drawbacks of these free AV, like Avira, Kapersky, Bitdefender and more in Top 5 Free Antivirus in 2018, are the ads and popups bundled with them. They keep sending annoying ads and pop-ups during running, and even worse, sometimes they downloaded and installed things automatically.
Thus, if you download apps from playstore, surf the safe websites and connect to a clean outside device, do not bother to install a AV on your phone.

It's one of your apps... You'll have to go through the ones you installed recently and uninstall the culprit.

so l read this thread awhile back and thought nothing of it ............ until now!
I have "developed" the same Issue! and yes Its definitely an app that has access to "appear on top" and its under Apps> special Access> apps that can appear on top! Now for me to identify the culprit......? only issue though is if you have this issue your most likely the kind of user who experiments and installs several apps at once.... so here goes my trial by elimination process?
Hi had this problem.
I deleted the free APK that I had installed but I was still getting pop ups.
You need to go to settings / apps and right at the end of the list there was a app with no name or app logo.
Deleted it, problem solved.
I tried virus scan apps and nothing found it.
Hope this helps

Thanks for the advice! I deleted all the apps I installed in the past week and still no success until your post! Issue was starting to really bug me cos I kinda hate the idea that I dont have control over a device I paid for....lol
For anyone in the same position, see attached images if it helps and yes I installed a dodgy APK editor which i deleted but didn't notice this culprit App in the app list!

Yeah that's exactly what I saw on my list.
No AV will block an ad. They block known, to them, malware apks. Use something like Addons Detector from G Play store and/or Nice catch from S Galaxy store to list all the apks that have ads modules and then remove those you installed last or don't recognise or need.
Run Malwarebytes.
