Q- Restoring a hidden app. - Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hid an app I thought I was not going to use but now need it here is the problem.
Want to use Samsung Knox to sandbox suspicious apps.
It does NOT show up in hidden apps, or list in my app drawer.
It does show up in the ALL tab in the app manager. It is not force closed and force close is grayed out (disabled). It is not using any resources.
I did soft reset. And a hard reset did not restore settings. App did not come back. To the app. Drawer.
Not rooted running stock. 4.3 with the update MJ7

[Q] Apps after a Factory Reset

I have a Droid X. I recently did a factory reset then upgraded to Froyo. Some of my apps appear in my "app page" and others do not. They show in the market as being downloaded but I can only open them from there. I can't get the icons to show up on my phone. Any Ideas?
Did you try just uninstalling them and reinstalling them?
I did. Still not working. It's more of an annoyance than anything else. I just don't like when a $600 gadget can't do something that's so simple as replace my app icons after a reset. Plus, the apps that I have downloaded since the reset aren't being posted to my app page either.
Have you tried rebooting?

are you using launcherpro and maybe hid the icons?
I had one app that was hidden in the market the day of the upgrade. The next day it showed up in searches so I was able to download it.

[Q] installing APK

Hello,
When you download an APK, not from the playstore, but from the internet, and put it on your phone's storage and then install the app, let's say i wish to uninstall the app, does the app apear at the "downloaded" section of apps?.. or at the "all" section.
It should show up under installed. You can long press app while in app drawer and hit the red x in corner it will ask if you want to un install.

Under installed?.. if i look settings > apps > it only shows Downloaded/running/all .....
Go to play store hit menu/my apps first column is installed swipe to the right and it will show you every app you ever downloaded via the Gmail account you are logged into. Be aware that some of these app might be from a different device and might not be compatible with your current phone

GPS won't turn off

Hey everyone,
I have the AT&T 32GB GS4. For the past few days, I have been experiencing odd battery drainages during the second half of the day. I was looking at the battery section of the settings menu, and when I turn off GPS through the notifications bar (when I'm done navigating), the GPS is showing that it is still running. It doesn't turn off until I restart the phone. Also, Google Services is taking up 40%+ of the battery and it hasn't done that ever. I've had this phone for a month.
Any ideas?

could be location service related or weather app related. freeze all apps you DL'd and check again.
That didn't work. I turned off all apps and cleared data for Maps. Also, none of my apps are allowed to use my location.

try doing a factory reset from the settings menu. Just backup everything you want to keep onto your sd card
Do you have yahoo weather installed

[Q] Can't stop play apps from auto updating

Over the last 3 days, Google play has been updating my apps even though I I have always had auto-update apps unchecked since I've gotten the phone.
How do I stop this? Is there another setting somewhere?
Did you go into settings when your in Google play and turn auto update off?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Yes. Its not checked.
Go into settings, apps, Google play and clear cache and data
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda app-developers app
Mine doesn't have a check box. You have to click the option and select do not auto update apps. Mine was set to auto update over WiFi.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Sorry not to be clear. I selected never update in the same place.
I cleared the cache and went back in and it was set to always update.
I set it back to never. may apps are now all up to date. I'll let you know what happens when one is due.

Recent apps view force closes upon entering. Any fix?

Every time I enter my recent apps menu it force closes. Every. Single. Time. I have no what could be causing this, and the only way to make it NOT do that is to quickly slide the app windows down a bit upon opening the recent apps menu, but that works inconsistently.
Help?
EDIT: SOLVED! Disable the preinstalled Google app if you're having this issue. Thank me later.
