What is "Get More" in "Apps with usage access" in Android 5.1.1?

After upgrading to 5.1.1 I see that Sony has added something called "Get More" in the list of "apps with usage access" (you can find this list in the Security section of the phone settings).The apps in this list can monitor how you use the phone so I am not happy about something unknown being found in this list. So far I had "devicemonitor", "Google Play services" (disabled) and "STAMINA mode". Now there is a fourth entry "Get More" and I found it was already enabled.I see that this has happened on both my phone and tablet so it is definitely something Sony did during the 5.1.1 update. What is this "Get More" and why did it get the power and permissions to intrude on my phone usage without requesting my consent? 

I quote from that thread: It's one of our preinstalled system apps so it's not a malware So nobody knows exactly what it is but I must assume it is not malware because it is from Sony???? Like this has never happened?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_rootkitOne of the programs installed even if the user refused its EULA, and it "phoned home" with reports on the user's private listening habits; Can anybody tell exactly what this "Get More" is? It is disgusting that 10 years later Sony still has not got the message that they should not install spyware on people's devices!

  • HT1311 How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID

    How can I get updates for apps with new Apple ID. I have apps that I got for free, and some that I have purchased. I had to create a new Apple ID because I don't have a credit card now.

    Apps will always be tied to the ID in which they were purchased or downloaded under. You can not change this unless you buy or download the free  app using the new ID.

  • Can not get more than one computer to access internet

    using airport and can not get more than one computer to access internet wirelessly... currently airport is in bridge mode and internet sharing is set to "off" in network preferences...
    help - what should the settings be in airport and network preferences?

    are using internet connection as dhcp?
    Yes.
    bridge mode seems to only work with pppoe connection to internet which is what my set up is
    But you've never said why you're using bridge mode (I'm not), which -- as I've explained before -- is probably the reason you can connect only 1 client at a time.
    If you'll setup the AX as a regular, main base station, connect using DHCP, and share IP addresses, you should be fine.

  • I am stuck in an App with Guided Access and have forgotten pass code? Help!

    I have forgotten pass code for Guided Access and can not get of the App? I don't know what to do next? I have tried resetting by holding Home button and on/off for 10 seconds. What now?

    Hi Suzanne
    If you continue to be unable to guess the passcode by brute force attempts, you can connect the device to a computer that has synced the device and unlock things with a sync.
    If you have never synced with iTunes then you can try this:
    1.Hold the Lock Button
    2.Slide the Slide To Power Off slider [If touch is disabled/you're unable to slide it, do a hard reset — hold the lock and home button until the Apple Logo appears]
    3.When your iDevices powers up, immediately exit the app that automatically opens.
    4.Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Guided Access
    5.Click Set Passcode
    6.Enter new password
    7.Reboot again.
    8.Wait for the app to automatically open and Triple tap the home button
    9.Enter the new password

  • What's a good video app with zoom??

    I plan on using my new iPhone 4 to shoot a lot of video of my son playing soccer and daugher with her cheerleading. What are some good apps that can zoom in and out to get some good quality video??

    You can't zoom the video. If you could, as the iPhone does not have a zoom lens, all it would do is become more blocky and would be worse quality video as a result.
    Got you. Thanks!

  • Getting more battery life with Mighty Mouse

    Hi,
    is there a way to make the Mighty Mouse read accurately the level of energy left in its batteries?? I have over 20 AA batteries of any kind (rechargeable or not, lithium or not, 1.2v or 1.5v, 2300 mah or else, etc.) and they all read "good-70%" when I test them with a simple battery tester. Still, the Mighty Mouse reads them very low, if not dead. What to do with that??
    Thanks.

    How interesting. I've been relying on the computer reading as valid. I guess I'll have to get a battery tester myself and check it. You might bring the batteries into a nearby Apple Store and show the techs there what's happening. If you do that, post again with whatever you hear. If I can get the same results, I'll bring the mouse and the batteries into an Apple Store and let them figure it out.

  • Why do I get three unwanted apps with my new update?

    I don't really appreciate having new apps just put on my phone when I do an update. Not only adding apps I didnt ask for but they can't be removed that I can see.

    Do what everyone else does,
    make a folder, move em into it.

  • How does the S_NQ_AACT table gets written when working with Usage Tracking?

    Hi,
    We want to monitor the performance of each subject area so we have implemented the Usage Tracking.
    We have followed the steps mentioned on the link http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe_bi/bi_ee_1013/usage_tracking/usage_tracking.htm
    But now the table S_NQ_ACCT is not getting written, whenever any user logs into OBIEE and runs a request his entry is not logged into that table.
    Anybody has encountered such a type of issue help would be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Apoorv

    The part of NQSConfig,ini goes like this:
    [ USAGE_TRACKING ]
    ENABLE = YES; //DEFAULT: NO
    //==============================================================================
    // Parameters used for writing data to a flat file (i.e. DIRECT_INSERT = NO).
    STORAGE_DIRECTORY = "<full directory path>";
    CHECKPOINT_INTERVAL_MINUTES = 5;
    FILE_ROLLOVER_INTERVAL_MINUTES = 30;
    CODE_PAGE = "ANSI"; // ANSI, UTF8, 1252, etc.
    //==============================================================================
    DIRECT_INSERT = YES;
    //==============================================================================
    // Parameters used for inserting data into a table (i.e. DIRECT_INSERT = YES).
    PHYSICAL_TABLE_NAME = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Catalog"."dbo"."S_NQ_ACCT" ; // "<Database>"."<Catalog>"."<Schema>"."<Table>" ; // Or "<Database>"."<Schema>"."<Table>" ;
    CONNECTION_POOL = "OBI Usage Tracking"."Usage Tracking Writer Connection Pool" ;
    BUFFER_SIZE = 10 MB ;
    BUFFER_TIME_LIMIT_SECONDS = 5 ;
    NUM_INSERT_THREADS = 5 ;
    MAX_INSERTS_PER_TRANSACTION = 1 ;
    //==============================================================================
    The User has the previleges to write to the table, I am not sure where I have gone wrong?

  • What is the best YouTube app with best quality?

    I need to know the best quality YouTube app that has good speed, picture/video, and is popular/has all the videos on the web/ YouTube .....
    - As iOS 6 ridded the YouTube app.

    On either iPad or iPhone/iPod Touch, The most direct and straightforward option is to use youtube.com from Safari. When the page loads, tap the Share button and select Add To Home Screen so you will have an icon like you did in iOS 5. When you make a video full screen, it will load the best quality it can within the constraints of your bandwidth and screen resolution (whether it's an iPad, iPad 2, or iPad (3rd generation) with Retina Display).
    On iPhone the most direct and straightforward option is the YouTube app, developed by Google and available in the iOS App Store.
    There may be third-party apps that do different things with various degrees of finesse, but try the simple approach that for your device first; you may be happy with it. And do share your findings here if you discover a good third-party app for this!

  • My question is how can i get the free apps with out a credit card being attched to my ipod touch?

    help me

    If you only want the free apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)
