The client won’t uninstall from my 2.3.4 HTC phone . . . from PlayStore, the tapping Uninstall causes it to just run forever. Others have made a similar comment. Tried multiple times, rebooted, etc.
Are there any circumventions for this?
I think the client is draining my battery. We are just testing MDM, and I’ll try it on other devices instead.
Android doesn’t allow users to uninstall applications that have Device Administrators unless the user disables the device administrators first.
To uninstall the Mobile Client you can:
Open Settings -> Location and Security -> Device Administrators
Disable the IBM Mobile Client device administrator
then
Open Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications
Select the IBM Mobile Client and click on Uninstall
The next version of the IBM Mobile Client (to be released within a couple of days) has a “Uninstall Mobile Client” shortcut in the user interface to facilitate the uninstallation task.
