Every app is auto starting after it is installed - Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Kind of annoying... is there a setting to stop this? Or I may have got some malware?

I've never heard of this. After installing an app in the Play Store, it just opens by itself?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean either, but I find it an enlightening process to use something like Autostarts every now and then to keep an eye on new apps and widgets to see when they're triggering themselves.

Well, basically it's every app, no matter l install from play store or I side load an apk. It wasn't like this initially, but I cannot figure out what triggered this.

Not specific to N4. Happens on my Galaxy S too, on the stock app. I don't remember it ever happening on Handcent. Maybe try that?
Yay! It worked

This is Google's way to stop any rogue app from spamming your contacts with SMS.
Have to root to get rid of it.

I don't own any rogue app. Pure stock and verify app on and the unknown source all is unchecked. Its only when I'm sending out message he gives me that error on multiply occasion.

But if you did have a rogue app spamming your contacts, this feature would stop it.

go to settings, app and then go to messaging in there, there is a option of send premium sms

Persistent notifications?

Is there anyway to get persistent notifications? I am using jellybro and my wife is still stock. Neither ROM seems to support the feature.
I want my phone to beep every few minutes to remind me of missed calls and text messages.

Is this the sort of thing you were looking for?

Exactly! You are the man! Don't understand why such a basic feature was removed from android. Doesn't seem like I should need an app for this. Thanks a million!

Google play store access

Hi. Every time I try to access the Google play store via chrome to check the availability of devices it kicks me through to the store apply on my phone. No device buying there! Any idea how to stop this please?

you might try seeing if it's set as a “default" in your app settongs

Ah thanks that did it. New to Android. Just cleared defaults. Thanks again
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
FYI you might still not be able to buy from the phone. I tried doing that and I got stuck at the buy button. I would tap on it but nothing would happen.
Ok thanks Ryan

Can't install latest Facebook

I keep getting this error when trying to install latest Facebook. I have 1.8gigs free

Boot into recovery, and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Didn't work

Does it still do it when you try to install something else?
You could be like me and not have Facebook anymore

It is your nexus saying screw Facebook...if I was a nexus 4 I wouldn't want Facebook on me either.

I am with djwyman. Don't install FB app on your phone please. It is a piece of ****e software. Instead use your browser, chrome or Firefox. Works rather well.

OP, I do not know the source of that error, but from the screenshot it looks like you are using a custom rom. Try deleting some cwm backups. If that fails, do a factory reset and start over.

Adding ALL Apps to Multi-Window

Hi, I see there are a couple tutorials for the Note 2 regarding expanding the choice of apps to Multi-Window. Just wondering if anyone has tried it yet on the S4? I'm certain that this will be part of future ROM's and it looks it's mainly a process of modifying apk's which is above my skill level, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance!
I tried the Galaxy Note 2 method with no luck I am going to try some build prop tweaks tonight and I will report back.

An app called multi window manager on the play store that does that very nicely ... I used to use it on my note 10.1

I also can't wait to root to customize which app icons appear in the shortcut bar in the task bar with headphones plugged in.

One thing that's pretty interesting/entertaining is that since I downloaded this app, my status bar goes away anytime I use the XDA Premium app, but it doesn't do this on any other app, lol!
