Hey everybody! I hope you all are enjoying your phones. I received mine yesterday.
Today I installed the google apps and then it was an option to erase the program to install these apps, but every time that a click on it the erase option appeared just for a few seconds and disappeared. Once, I tried to do it really fast to click on the bottom to dismiss the program and to the erase option at the same time. But actually, I accidentally erase the app that was above the one with google apps installation program. The app that I erased was the one that allows to disconnect you phone up to 3 hours, that I actually liked a lot. I’m really new in smart phones, and if someone could tell me where can I find erased apps or how to install it again. I will really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Thais
Hi Thais, I’m assuming you are talking about Fairphone’s own Peace of Mind app/widget. No worries!
In case you have only removed Peace of Mind from your home screen, you can easily put it back: go to All Apps (The icon with 6 tiny squares in your quick menu - see [this image][1] if you don’t know what I’m talking about), where you will find an overview of all your apps and widgets. Under widgets, you’ll find Peace of Mind - hold the icon for a while and the option to put it back on the homescreen will come up. Release the button when it is where you’d like to put it.
In case you have disabled the app, you can enable it by going to Manage apps. This option is under the Menu button when you’re on your homescreen.
If the app is somehow completely gone from your phone, the google play store has it [here][2].
I hope this helps. Enjoy your phone!
