Hidden disabled Apps??

Zero3hero — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 20:53:35 GMT

Hello,

Recently I downloaded ccleaner and in the app manager it shows all apps installed and then it shows disabled apps. I have never disabled any apps but for some reason it is showing 4 apps as being disabled, but when I look in the built in app manager on my phone it shows no disabled apps. What is going on?

@Zero3hero

Hard to tell because you are using a third party app, cleaner apps could cause problems, if you are losing app settings/data uninstall it and report back, also posting screenshots and which app you are using it will be easier to help you.

Hello @uliwooly

I have not used the ccleaner app yet, I was only exploring it's features and that is when I noticed this.

Why do these apps not show up in the built in app manager? Makes no sense.

@Zero3hero

I have to wait for a moderator to approve the screenshot or you could upload it to box or dropbox and post the link here

@Zero3hero

That's quite interesting, I'll escalate this, which app are you using to find that info?

@Zero3hero What if you expand each app? There is a small arrow pointing downwards, can you post a screenshot with that too?

I am not sure, but some of them might be blocked by the system itself (looking at that startup flag service).

@uliwooly

Ccleaner. And like I said before these apps do not show up in the built in app manager. I have never disabled any apps prior to this.

Sorry I wasn't sure how to add both in one link.

@Zero3hero No worries, you could have inserted them normally as I can approve them.

Read more here about startup flag service:

Do you have a prototype?

@alexdon

I'm not sure what you mean about prototype? I purchased my phone through my carrier Rogers.

@alexdon

I have also never ever seen that power off screen before since owning my Z3 D6603. I am really confused about this.

Re: Hidden disabled Apps??

_alexdon_ — Fri, 25 Mar 2016 22:59:57 GMT

What power off screen?

We will try to find out more on this by next week.

Sorry @alexdon

I meant the issue people were having regarding the "com.sonyericsson.startupflagservice" and their home screen showing a black background with "power off" soft button that wasn't working.

I never had any issues regarding that thread or anything related to startupflagservice. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for looking into my issue though, I appreciate that. I just have one question though... You asked me if I have a prototype, what did you mean by that? I'm not sure what prototype is and why I would have one.

A prototype is a device that's not meant for general use and might not have all the functions that a retail device has:

@alexdon

Thanks for replying. When you first mentioned it was there something that led you to think that my device may be a prototype? Because now I'm concerned about this. I bought my phone brand new from Rogers it's locked to their network and other than having the random rebooting issue every now and then my phone seems to do everything it was meant to do. ... At least I think it does, but I have not been able to find anything on the net related to my issue so I'm not sure. My imei info is correct with the package it came in, but I guess that wouldn't matter.
