Uninstall Android Apps Which Says “Uninstall not Successful”

One of the problems Android users face is that they are unable to uninstall some particular apps from their devices. When you try to uninstall Android app from the Settings, it says “Uninstall not Successful” like in the Screen-shot below where I am trying to get rid of AirDroid.

Uninstall not succesful error in Android
I faced the same problem a little while ago and I almost believed that I can’t uninstall android app because of this nasty Android uninstall not successful error. I was like I have to see these unwanted apps in my drawer and they’ll consume my mobile’s memory forever. But fortunately while I was just trying to find any way to uninstall these apps, luckily I figured it out.

Why you’re unable to uninstall some apps?

The reason is that those apps are running as Device Administrator. Some apps ask for permission to run as the Administrator of your Android device when you launch them. So, there’s no way to uninstall such apps until you disable them as Administrator.

Uninstall Apps which says “Uninstall not Successful”:

It’s very easy to Uninstall Android Apps which say “Uninstall not Successful”. All you have to do is just unselect them from Device Administrators.

Step 1: Unselect the app from Device Administrators:

Go to “Settings” of your android device and the tap on “Location and Security” options from the list. There you’ll find an option “Select device administrators” under “Device administration”, open it. You’ll see a list of apps which are running as Device Administrator. Now unselect the app which you want to uninstall but unable to do so.

Uninstall not succesful error in Android

Step 2: Try Uninstalling the App:

Now use the normal method of uninstalling the app from Settings> Applications> Manage Applications. You’ll be able to uninstall the app which you un-selected in the First Step.

That’s it! It was easy. Now you don’t have to worry seeing uninstall not successful error any more. Like, you don’t have to worry about unwanted and not delete-able Picasa Photos in the Gallery of your Android device.  You can remove them easily.

Gesture Shortcut Launcher: Use Gestures To Control Your Android Devcie

Gesture Control Android

Sometimes when you have to find a particular application from the drawer of your Smartphone which is full of various different other applications and you keep messing with your Smartphone especially when you’re in hurry, it irritates a lot. Also when you have to find a particular contact from your contact list and when you have to write the whole URL of the particular site you want to visit in your browser or you have to search it on the Google, its total waste of time. So it’s better to have some shortcuts to access any particular application, website or contact directly from your main screen without going through those little but time consuming processes to access them.

Introducing “Gesture Shortcut Launcher”:

No, I am not talking about futuristic hi-fi gesture control gadgets. Gesture Shortcut Launcher is what I’m talking about. This may not be one of the best 6 Android launchers but it does have promises. This application provides you a really effective way to access many things on your Smartphone using shortcuts. It’s already clear from the name of the app that the shortcuts are the “Gesture Shortcuts”. Run applications and other device features like WiFi, Bluetooth etc. by drawing a quick gesture.

This easy-to-use gesture shortcut applications works very smooth and quick. It’s a less space consuming and no time lagging app. Other thing to talk about this application is that many other gesture applications have limited the number of gestures in free versions, so you’ll have to buy the pro version of such apps to add more gestures. Oppositely, this app has no limit to number gestures you can add. Add as many as you want.

Now as you’ve added the widget, open it and draw the gesture for the app or anything else you want to access. That’s it, now you have Gesture Shortcuts working properly on you Smartphone. Developers also mentioned in the description of this application on the Google Play Store that less you take your finger off the screen while drawing the gesture, better it works.

How To format Unformatable Virus Infected Pen Drives?

There was a time when we used to use compact disks (CDs) to transfer data from one system to another. A CD can store data up to 700MB. We still use disks for quick transfer of data but now we have another option of USB Drive or “Pen Drive” which is better and provides larger storage capacities. But sometimes these pen drives show formatting errors when we use them again and again. It happens at least once to everyone (unless you lose your USB key before) that when we try to format the pen drive, it fails. We try again and again by re-attaching the pen drive with the system but all we see is error. But you don’t need to worry anymore because in this article I’ll be showing you the simplest method to format virus infected pen drives.transcentpendrive_r

Cause:

There are two main reasons behind these formatting errors:

  • The most common error we face is that the files which are stored in the pen drive are being used by the system in which we try to format (see the image below). The reason behind such an error is virus. One should always try keep USB drive safe from virus.

  • The other reason could be that there’s some hardware damage inside the Pen Drive. Obviously there’s no way to correct an internally damaged and broken pen drive. You better buy another one.

Method to format unformatable (Virus infected) Pen Drives:

The method I’ll be showing you is really simple. We’ll use the Command Prompt and enter some commands. And we’ll be done! So let’s get started.

  • Go to Start and type cmd in the search space. Open the Command Prompt, the “cmd” file you’ll see in the search results.1
  • In the Command Prompt, type the command:
    format G:
     

    And press enter. In my case the drive letter of my Pen Drive is “G”. So instead of “G” in the above command, type the drive letter of your Pen Drive (see the image below).

  •  Now Command Prompt will ask you to type the volume label (name) of the drive. Type the name correctly and press enter. In my case it is “games”. So I’ll type:
     games
    
    3
  • At the end, Command Prompt will show you a warning that all the data of the drive you entered will be lost. Type “Y” and press enter. Now your Pen Drive is fully formatted. No data and No virus or anything.

So this was a really simple way to format virus infected unformatable Pen drives. There’s something to note that you can use this method to format any Drive on your system. Just enter the drive letter and volume label of the drive you want format and your drive will be formatted.

There’s also another way to format un-format-able or virus infected pen drives. Which is by using a third-party software. The software is “Unlocker”. This software will help you to bypass some of the restrictions on files and allow you to access those files. You can download this software from . After downloading the software, install it. Now right-click on the drive which you want to format and click on “Unlocker”. You’ll see the Unlocker Window which will show the files which are being used by the same system.

Unlocker

Click on “Unlock All”. After that, use the common procedure of formatting the drive i.e. right-click on drive and click on “Format”. The formatting will complete.

At the end I would like to advice my readers that they should take care of their pen drives. Instead of using them continuously again and again in hurry and pulling them out of the slot roughly, you should handle your pen drives with soft hands. Protective measures should be taken like safely removing the pen drive from your system before actually pulling out the pen drive out of the slot.
