Re: What apps are unnecessary for Android Phones?

Just thought I would throw this out and see what the feelings are on this issue. I know there is a lot debate on Task Killers, but what other apps out there are really not longer needed with the newer OS systems.

Just as with Task Killers, you will find a similar debate about third-party battery savers, such as Juice Defender etc.  I put both firmly in the uneccessary-to-harmful camp, but many others disagree.  Vendor provided software, such as Moto's Smart Actions can handle many of the tasks that used to be done by other apps.

    What apps are avaible for itouch generation 1 in the app store? Is there a list?

  • Parental Controls - How do I find what apps are starting for an account?

    I turned on Parental Controls for my kids and when they log into their accounts they get a series of dialogs saying "You don't have permission to run <APP>, with Done, Always Allow and Allow Once buttons. Things like GoogleUpdater. None of these apps are in their startup list in System Preferences. How can I find what apps are set to startup for each account?
    - Thanks

    Here's a tip from another user that may help you:
    "I was running into the same problem trying to find apps for my daughters Iphone 3g running 4.2.1.  What I did was go to the Itunes store through Itunes on my PC, and then went to the bottom of the main page and clicked "Browse." On the browse page I selected, App Store, Games (category), Kids (subcategory), and then a list of apps appears below. 
    I sorted by date (oldest to newest) by right-clicking next to "price" and choosing "release date" on the menu that pops up. The date created field will then be showing, which you can click on to sort newest to oldest or oldest to newest.  I downloaded a bunch of free apps starting from the oldest (by name - you don't have much else to go on).  Of the 30 or so I added to my Itunes, about 27 of them were compatible with 4.2.1. 
    This is defintely not a perfect way of finding apps, but after spending a lot of time searching for a better way this was the best I could come up with."

  • How can I see what computers are authorized for my phone?

    I'm using an iPhone 4 on iOS 7.1.  I have a new computer and need to de-authorize one of my old ones to add the new one.  I can't see a list of all the authrozied computers.  My only choice seems to be 'de-authorize all', which I really don't want to have to do.
    Does anyone know how to diplay the coputers that are authorized?

  • I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID

    I have my boyfriend's apple ID and password, how do I check what apps he has on his phone? ( not all the apps that he had downloaded, but the ones that are actually on his phone). And How can I remotely download apps to his phone if I have his ID and PW?
    Thank you so much

    If you want seperate accounts for managing apps and purchasing content, basically yes, you need two account and would need to repurchase. However, if you just want seperate ID for iMessgae, icloud and such, you can do that and still continue sharing the same Id for apps and itunes.

  • How can I find out what apps are on my step daughters phone without the phone?

    How can I find out what apps are on my step daughters phone without the phone? She is on my phone plan but does not live with me and I am concerned about the apps she may be using.

        baniville108,
    Thank you for reaching out to us. We certainly know the importance of being able to know what options are available with your device. With apps on devices, thoses are specific to the phone itself, so there is no open forum to view what apps are downloaded. The only option would be to physically review from the phone, or if you have the same Apple ID you can log into it and view from there. Please let us know if you need anymore assistance.
    Thank you,

    Welcome to Adobe Forum,
    Creative cloud do not need a serial number. it will be using your Adobe ID on which you have purchased the creative cloud membership.
    So you need to login with your Adobe ID and password to activate the cloud membership.
    Log out & log back in of the CC Desktop App.
    In case it is not signing in successfully please try the following:
    I don't know which operating system you are working on so i am giving you some steps windows and MAC OS:
       Windows:
       In windows 7 navigate to following location:
         /windows/system32/drivers/etc
       1. look out for "Hosts" file
       2. Open it with notepad
       3. Check if you have any entry for Adobe
       4. Remove the entries and try again launching any product from CC
       Mac:
       1. Please click on "Go" and navigate to /private/etc
       2. Open "hosts" file and check out for any entries for Adobe.com
       3. Remove the entries and save the file
       4.  try again launching any product from CC

  • Adobe Viewer for Android Phone

    Hi guys,
    The Adobe Content Viewer from Google Play (May 1, 2013) is both compatible and works fine on my Nexus 4 phone. We understand that adding the Android phone compatibility might cause poor app rating as the buttons/controls will be hard to tap on the smaller screens. But publisher could add these limitations to the app description. So my question is if support for Android phones could be added to the custom viewer as an optional feature checkbox, please.
    Thank you,
    Gennady

    Hi Gennady,
    You won't see support for Android phones until we have our new, native Android, viewer available later this year.

  • Colorblind users can't tell what apps are running

    There needs to be a setting under Dock Preferences to CHANGE THE COLOR of the dot under running applications in the Dock.
    I know the dot is there because I asked where the arrows went in the Apple Store and they told me it was there. After straining and squinting, I can almost see it. This is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
    With my color blind situation, I can no longer tell what apps are running or not. I have to press command-option-escape for force quit just to see what is running.
    Either bring back the Tiger black arrow, or allow a preference so that color blind users can tell what is going on.

    You bring up an excellent point but no one at Apple who can make the change is likely reading Discussions. Put in a request for the Dock improvement at Apple OS X Feedback where it will be put in Apple's system for user requests.

  • Is Adobe DPS available for Android phone?

    hi~
    is Adobe DPS available for Android phone?
    The app is not founded in googleplay..

    I encountered the same issue. You (in theory) would simply update the APK file. Find the AndroidManifest.xml
    right around line 42
    <supports-screens android:smallScreens="false" android:normalScreens="false" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
    change to
    <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
    recompile, package, deploy.
    NOTE: I have not been able to get this to actually work LIVE in the play store where I have had some success with actually putting it on my device. I can get the app store to say that it is compatabile on small/medium/large/xlarge screens, teasing me with joy prior to the error I get when I attempt to install that the item is "not properly signed". This could be something with the META_INF xml file, the version of JDK and apktools or jarsign I am using, I certainly dont know... yet, but after about 10+ hours I am fairly certain of one thing: Adobe does not want it working on small/medium screens.
    (perhaps for good reason...)
    If I do come up with a solution I will post. As perhaps a feature request, would be great to have the following in the App builder:
    1- Advanced tab
    A: allows us to manually enter the
    android:versionCode="00000"
    android:versionName="0.0.0.0.0"
    B: allows us to change
      <supports-screens android:smallScreens="true" android:normalScreens="true" android:largeScreens="true" android:xlargeScreens="true" />
    values.

  • Isn't there an app that can track what apps are using up your resources?

    There really ought to be!  My battery time stinks, I have to recharge my phone all the time, it's I took it off the charger at 8:15 and it's down to 84% and I barely used my phone today.  I've tried every suggestion I found on here and it hasn't helped.  The one thing that COULD help is if there was some kind of task manager like in windows that showed you what apps are using which resources so at least I could tell if there's something running that is constantly using up all the resources and milking my battery.  This is really frustrating.  I just checked and my battery is now at 83% and it's been locked this whole time.  I'm sorry but that is not normal.

    another symptom--after doing nothing but some light texting, she sent 30 mb of data in an hour.  That strikes me as being way out of line.

  • What updates are available for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)?

    What updates are available for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (9L30)?

    Before embarking on a major OS upgrade, it would be wise, advisable and very prudent if you backup your current system to an external connected and Mac formatted Flash drive OR externally connected USB, Thunderbolt or FireWire 800, Mac formatted hard drive. Then, use either OS X Time Machine app to backup your entire system to the external drive OR purchase, install and use a data cloning app, like CarbonCopyCloner or SuperDuper, to make an exact and bootable copy (clone) of your entire Mac's internal hard drive. This step is really needed in case something goes wrong with the install of the new OS or you simply do not like the new OS, you have a very easy way/procedure to return your Mac to its former working state.
    Then, determine if your Mac meets ALL minimum system install requirements.
    Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard system requirements
    Purchased Installer disc here. 
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To install Snow Leopard for the first time, you must have a Mac with:
    An Intel processor
    An internal or external DVD drive, or DVD or CD Sharing
    At least 1 GB of RAM (additional RAM is recommended)
    A built-in display or a display connected to an Apple-supplied video card supported by your computer
    At least 5 GB of disk space available, or 7 GB of disk space if you install the developer tools
    Installing and updating OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard to OS X 10.6.8 gives your Mac access to the Mac App Store where you can decide which version of OS X to upgrade to, again, if you desire.
    OS X Lion system requirements
    Purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    To use Lion, make sure your computer has the following:
    An Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    Mac OS X v10.6.6 or later to install via the Mac App Store (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7 GB of available disk space
    2 GB of RAM
    To install OS X  10.8 Mountain Lion or OS X 10.10 Yosemite.you need one of these Macs:
    OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion purchased emailed download code here.
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/D6377Z/A/os-x-mountain-lion
    iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
    MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
    MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
    MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    Your Mac also needs:
    OS X Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard v10.6.8 already installed
    2 GB or more of memory (I strongly advise, at least, 4 GBs of RAM or more)
    8 GB or more of available space.
    Your year and model Mac can take a total of 6 GBs of RAM, max..
    I strongly suggest you install the max. RAM your Mac can take.
    Correct, compatible and reliable Mac RAM can ONLY be purchased from online RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
    OWC is the only source for the  6 GB RAM kit.
    Next,
    If you run any older Mac software from the earlier PowerPC Macs, then none of this software will work with the newer OS X versions (10.7 and onward). OS X Snow Leopard had a magical and invisible PowerPC emulation application, called Rosetta, that worked seamlessly in the background that still allowed older PowerPC coded software to still operate in a Intel CPU Mac.
    The use of Rosetta ended with OS X Snow Leopard as the Rosetta application was licensed to Apple, from a software company called Transitive, which got bought out, I believe, by IBM and Appe  could no longer secure their rights to continue to use Rosetta in later versions of OS X.
    So, you would need to check to see if you have software on your Mac that maybe older than, say, 2006 or older.
    Also, check for app compatibilty  here.
    http://roaringapps.com/
    If you have any commercial antivirus installed and/or hard drive cleaning apps installed on your Mac, like MacKeeper, CleanMyMac, TuneUpMyMac, MacCleanse, etc. now would be a good time to completely uninstall this apps by doing a Google search to learn how to properly uninstall these types of apps.
    These types of apps will only cause your Mac issues later after the install of the new OS X version and you will have to completely uninstall these types of apps later.
    Once you have determined all of this, you should be able to find the latest versions of OS X by clicking on the Mac App Store icon in the OS X Dock and then login to the Mac App Store using your Apple ID and password and using the appropriate download codes need
    You can then begin the download and installation process of installing your desired versions of OS X  from the Mac App Store.
