Google play settings - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

Ok so this might be to dumb to alot but I can not seem to find the settings or more specifically the "my apps" int eh google play store app. The only option I really have is the magnifying glass for the search feature. If i clear the data and cache then when i upgrade again it shows me them but obv I don't want to have to do that everytime. Anyone else know how to find the my apps in the app?

For me, My Apps only shows up when on the Play Store home page or when viewing the Apps section of the store. It shows up in the menu next to the magnifying glass. If I'm viewing music or books, then it shows "My Music" or "My Books" instead.

Mine doesn't even do that...Also besides first finding the picture and then clicking share and selecting the gmail app...Does anyone know if there is a way to add an attachment to your email from inside the gmail app? I've tried to longpress to see if maybe that would bring up some options but it does nothing. Kinda frustrating all in all.

That's really weird about your Play Store "My Apps" not showing up. As for Gmail, when you're composing the email, tap the menu in the upper right then select "Attach File".

I don't even have a menu button at the top right

You have to be "composing" an email first. Then you will see 3 little dots at top left of screen

I've lost the cover-art flo menu...

Hi all,
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here but I was flicking through some of the sample tracks that came with my Hero and then I clicked on one to make it play. Now I cannot get back to the screen where you can flick left and right through the cover-art of the tracks; I can only see the lists of albums/artists etc, not the iphone like cover-flo...
Help!
S.
There is a button in the bottom right corner while the track is playing and the music app is open to switch between cover flow and list view.
Thanks but that doesn't help. I can get the view up so that an album is displayed on the screen, but it says 1 of 1 and I cannot scroll left or rigt to other albums no matter what I do.
How frustrating, I don't get what's happened here? What could have changed?
Lol, can someone please assist, I just know the solution is right under my nose...
Not sure its the same problem but I couldnt search by cover flow either so I tried a few things
I rarely browse by artist and pick the first artist - I have found that this option gave me back the cover flow to scroll across all the albums for all artists
Strangely, album browse only gives the list view as do all the others - hope this helps a little

Go to the music app, use the bottom left button to go to music selection. Select the albums tab (second tab). Menu -> Play all. It will enqueue all your albums and you can now flick through them in a coverflow style in the main music app.
Awesome! Thanks for that. I appreciate I may seem a little stupid for not realising that's what I had to do, but come on - hardly intuitive now is it?
I agree, had the same problem for a while.

How to restore icons in the app drawer?

I'm running touchwiz, and deleted the web icon from the app drawer. I have a web icon on my homescreen, but how the heck do I get it back into the app drawer.
How can I restore deleted icons in the app drawer?
Hey,
You can't delete the icon from the app draw without uninstalling the app. Since the icon is on your desktop then you have not deleted it.
TW allows you to organize/customize the app draw but there will always be the default setting with all apps. I have not used TW in a long time but, open the app draw and hit the menu button. If I remember correctly you will have options for custom app draw but there will also be the default, which will have all of your apps.

You actually can delete them, I know because I did LOL
You can delete it, by going to your app drawer, then hitting menu, then custamizable grid, then edit the grid, then pull the icon out of the app drawer and put it in your dock, now its not longer in your app drawer. Now put the icon from the dock into the trash, and now its gone!
I have a backup icon on my homescreen, but now, I can't seem to reverse the process and get the icon back into the app drawer
I guess the problem is, technically the icon is still somewhere is on my phone, just not in my app drawer! I want it back into the app drawer.
Sorry, maybe I was not clear. When I say app draw I'm talking about the default app draw. This display is not"customizable" therefore you cannot delete the icons unless you delete the app. You must be using a customizable grid.
You get the icon back by either using the default grid, or editing the customizable grid. Sound like you have the basics of the latter, just play around with. GL

Yes, I'm using the stock samsung touchwiz customizable app drawer. Trust me you can remove the icon from the app drawer, it lets you. The problem is, putting back in.
Yeah, SykesAT, you're incorrect. Give this a shot:
Tap "Applications"
Press "Menu"
Tap "View Type"
Tap ""Customizable Grid"
Press "Menu"
Tap "Edit"
Tap "-" (minus sign) on the apps that allow it.
Sadly, Sammy, I don't know how to get them back. Uninstall/reinstall an option?

The minus sign is uninstall, and it only allow unisntall not system apps. Web browser is a sys app and you shouldn't be able to delete it. Are you sure is not in the dock not the desk?
When you place an item in the dock, it desapears from the drawer...
You can always do a factory reset...... Not fun but it is something.....
Ok so messed around with it some more, and I thought I had trashed the icon from the dock. It appears it didn't go from dock to trash, it went from dock to app drawer, but out of alphabetical order so I wasn't seeing it.
So here is the new issue:
Techinically, I guess I want 2 copies of the icon, meaning.
I custamize my grid, I take the web icon OUT of the app drawer and put it into my dock. Meaning now the web icon is in my dock, and there is no longer a web icon in my app drawer.
However, I would like a copy, meaning I want the web icon in both my dock and app drawer. Anyway to make multiple copies of the icon? I know you can make multiple copies of icons on your homescreens, but seems like touchwiz doesn't give me the option. Either only lets me put it either in the dock or the app drawer, but not both places at the same time
I used desktop visualizer to create a second copy. Why not use a secondary web app like dolphin hd or opera? Just a thought....

[Q] Youtube icon shows up twice in app drawer

I'm sure it wasn't like that yesterday, but now for some reason I have 2 identical official Youtube icons in my app drawer.
One of them, when clicked, launches the application.
The second one, when clicked, says 'the application is not installed.'
If I 'long press' either of these icons, then I get all the red crosses appear to delete apps, but NOT over either of these 2 Youtube icons.
Does anyone know how I can remove the errant chap?
Many thanks!
I'm having the EXACT same problem! What's this about? I just updated YouTube this morning so that might be related.
uninstall through "manage applications" or titanium backup. i think thats what i did

Simple way to share a picture?

Okay, this may be a dumb question, but it's been bugging me for a while:
Say I download a picture in the browser and want to text it to somebody. What I would like to do is swipe down the notification bar, tap the download to view the picture, then send to messages or whatever from there. But Sense doesn't give you the share option. The only thing you can do is "view details."
Even in Reddit News, an app with this kind of built-in -- you can download a pic, then you get a nice preview in the notification pull down, but when you hit "share," it just takes you to the dumb viewer screen that allows nothing but "view details."
Is there a way, or an app, that can replace this default image viewer with something useful?

when you have the gallery open up and it's showing you the picture. click the middle of the screen. this will bring up the menus. the button on the bottom left is share, where you have about 5 options of how to share depending on bluetooth, nfc, and social apps/cloud services installed.
No, I know how to share from the gallery, my point was wanting to share from the notification area without having to open another app to do so.
Ever look at a picture from a file browser? You just get the picture, no options to do anything with it.
Anyways, I installed QuickPic and it manages to do what I was looking for just fine!

Liked pages not showing in Facebook

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
In the Facebook app for Android and on the mobile website, my liked pages aren't show correctly. I think it only shows likes from a huge while back, as any pages I've recently liked just don't show up. The weird part is that my newesty liked pages shows up on the button for likes on my profile, but once you click it, it's nowhere to be found. Another werid thing is that after pressing that, it says that I have "Other Likes: 11", but once I click that, it only shows 9.
Here is what I want you to try:
Go to the facebook app, slide out the menu and click your own name to go to your profile.
Slide to the side in the area where you have About, Photos, Friends and Places and slide until you see the Likes button.
Check the pictures on that button and see if you can find them in after clicking the button
See if the number of Other Likes match with the amount it shows.
I'm wondering if its just a bug for everyone or if I'm the only one having the problem. Maybe there is even another way to get to your liked pages??
No one facing this problem?
