G+_Timothy Hamlett Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 So say I have an app that doesn't want to uninstall because it's a device administrator and it locks up the phone when you take away the admin privileges. How should I take care of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ben Reese Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Oh, you said it lockes up when you do that... Hmmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Paul Miller Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Most of those that I've seen have to be uninstalled from within the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Ben Reese Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Paul may be right with this. Seems odd that your phone would lock up when you remove the permissions from the security menu. Can you clear the app data then remove the security admin access? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_Jacob Alvarez Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm thinking you might have to do a hard reset from recovery and start from scratch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Timothy Hamlett Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'll do that, I just wanted to see if there was some other option. Thanks Jacob Alvarez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Reese Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Covenant Eyes might have a website you'd have to visit to release the administration lock. Clearing the app data might work too, but Android might prevent that... IDK. If you have Root it would be pretty easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
