Application manager
In Application manager, you can view the details of
installed applications or remove them from your device.
You can also specify installation settings.
You cannot install applications in Application manager.
See "Installing applications and software," p. 103.
When you open Application manager, the Installed
software page lists all of the software packages that have
been installed, with their name, version number, type,
and size.
To view the details of an installed software package,
select Data management > Application manager, and
select the Installed software page. Select an application
or a component from the list, and press Details.
To uninstall applications or components, select Data
management > Application manager. Select the
software from the list, press Remove, and confirm the
removal. Note that some software packages update
existing software, and after the installation you may only
be able to remove the whole software package, not the
update.
Note that if you remove software, you can only reinstall
it by using the original software package file, or by
restoring a full backup that contains the removed
software package. If you remove a software package, you
may no longer be able to open files created with that
software. If another software package depends on the
software package that you removed, the other software
package may stop working. Refer to the documentation
of the installed software package for details.
To view the installation log, select Data management >
Application manager, and select the Install log page. A list
shows what software has been installed and removed,
and the date of installation or removal. If you encounter
problems with the device after installing a software
package, you can use this list to find out which software
package may be the cause of the problem. The
information in this list may also help to pinpoint problems
that are caused by software packages that are
incompatible with each other.
To save the contents of the installation log, select Data
management > Application manager, and select the
Install log page. Press Copy, and open the application
where you want to paste the contents.
Modifying installation settings
To modify installation settings, select Data
management > Application manager, and select the
Preferences page. You can select options related to
software installation.
• Delete source file after installation — If you select
Yes, the software package installation file is deleted
from the device after installation. If you download
software packages using the Web browser, this may
help to reduce the amount of storage space required.
If you want to store the software package file for
possible reinstallation, do not select this option, or
make sure that you have a copy of the software
package file stored on a compatible PC or on a CD-ROM.
• Preferred language — If the software package
contains several language versions of the software,
select the language version that you want to install.
