I have been desperately attempting to keep Google Maps from writing down every place I go!
I have checked all the "don't share my location" type boxes. This is deeper than that.
Check these screen shots.

Can anyone recommend a way to STOP google maps from running, unless I specifically open the app myself?

You can freeze the application and unlock it when you need
im in the same boat. if rooted use gemini app manager to stop it from autostarting.

Download an app killer loads of free ones on the market
Should close the app permanently unless you specifically open it
Then to close it just open the app killer thing again and close down google maps using that
Freezing would be a better option, killing it doesn't deny it from restarting later.
After you've disabled in autostart, it wont autostart anymore.. unless there's an app starting it...
have you check htc setting? there is one option that you can view your phone online...

What are your thoughts? Has your market updated yet?
It look nice, but it has hidden one important feature from me: The ability to set whether apps auto-update or not!! Anyone know a way around this?
not yet.....
i keep checking it every 20 mins....

Is this 2.2.6 or 2.2.7?
Sent from my Overclocked, FroYo'ed-up 2.2.1 EVO 4G
Not sure. The application manager says it's version 2002207. So... 2.2.7?
I didn't receive it, but after clearing the app cache I got it directly

Press on "My apps" and then the app you want to change settings for. Then deselect "Allow automatic updating" in the beginning of the white area.
I meant how to stop the market from auto-updating.
Edit: When I first got that update, the option to stop individual apps from auto-updating was missing. In a recent update it has returned, however.
But I still want the market to stop updating silently in the background. I'd rather it let me know than "SURPRISE! The market has updated against your will! So much for an open platform!"
So just yesterday I decided to put a pin on my lockscreen, and today I decided that its a bit too annoying for me to keep, so I tried removing it. However, it then gave me this:

I've looked around for solutions, and most seem to point to corporate accounts linked to their phone. Unfortunately, that doesn't apply to me as I'm just a university student. I did try rebooting my phone, and removing my uni email in case that had anything to do with it, but it didn't change anything. I'm on KE7, vodafone uk and my phone is rooted.
Anyone else have this problem?

Check your Settings->Location & Security->Select Device Administrators and uncheck any administrators.

Hello,
I am facing the same problem, i just flashed to a custom ROM 2.2.1 and now i can only access my email when i disable swipe.
The solution to remove the admin allows me to enable it again; however it disallows access to my email!!!
Is there anyway to keep it how it was before? Swipe + email at the same time?
Thanks,
Achraf
Just to share my expierence. After upgrading to latest FB app last night, tried to start app, but it said something like "on some android phones you must reboot in order to get all the icons". I rebooted and .... puffffff. Suddenly I got a millions of "Touch wizz unexpectedly stoped", but also for all many other apps. I couldt reach software menu for turn off the phone, so i must hold turn off button for about 10 secconds, in order to turn it off. After I left the phone off for whole night, somehow it worked and i could uninstall FB app, but only through market, not through settings-> applications->organize applications. I would like to know if someone else had same problems.
Simple solution don't use tw use apex launcher miles better anyway plus no fc on new fb update

Can only second the benefits of apex launcher...
Sent from my GT-I9100 running ics resurrection v1.4 using xda app
I downloaded the new facebook app also, but haven't had any FC's since. The only change that I've noticed is that it adds 2 separate apps to the app drawer (camera, messenger). I'm unable to access the front camera on my phone using facebook's app though.

Im looking for an app or the way to manager account apps. I have a lot of apps that were downloaded and installed but currently not used or even not welcomed. I can remotely delete them from the account by pressing DELETE button in MY APPS in Google Store, like on screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
But this way is a pain in the ass and Im looking for more easier way to delete unneeded apps. There is no way to do this via google store web page on PC
I'm affraid this ain't possible.
I also have been checking the Play Store website, but even there you can't remove them from the list.
On the other hand, why is it irritating you? You can easily see which apps you have installed in Settings > Apps
It is irritating cause I cant delete them. I just want to get rid of them from my account history.
I know I can manage apps for example from Titanium Backup but only those installed

There's a big request going on since a long time. And it seems Google doesn't really care yet...
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I see. April 2012. Google doesnt even care. But I thought about some independent app which could exist.
thanks for information
I have found the way to remove it fast. Its kinda stupid but who though about such thing?
Long press on one app, then multiselect other apps. Like selecting few elements then DELETE button
I got rid off 2000 unused apps
Hi
Im trying to use samsung smart switch to pass all the info to my new device, but when I opne smart switch and try to give the app the permisions it shows me "Security policy restrics use of smart switch".
This phone was bought directly to the carrier for personal use. Not a second hand phone.
After searching on web i found the app on the device administrator apps, but I cant disable it.
I cant find this app on internet.
Is there a legal way to disable this app?
Thanks.

I foud the app on the system app but the option of uninstalling or force stop is disabled.
Enable USB debbuguing:
Login to your Samsung Account on that device
Create aliancex account and install app on your device
Android Alliance - User Control Panel - Register
alliancex.org
Disable those security app:
Here is example:
Try this way: go to SETTINGS->Location and Security-> Device Administrator and deselect the admin which you want to uninstall. Now uninstall the application. If it still says you need to deactivate the application before uninstalling, you may need to Force Stop the application before uninstalling.
