    MacDroid app won't update and when I try to uninstall it tells me to turn off MacDroid as a device administrator. When I go to turn off in device admin of the security setting the settings stop. ????

    Is there some setting within the app itself?

    Maybe try an app that can kill or force stop it, then try deleting. I use Task Manager by Bytehamster. Run it and see if Macdroid shows. If so, Press/HOLD on it (don't just tap it), then hitting Settings, then Force Stop. It might still stall.

    Good luck.

    Or try one of the reboot methods and see if after it first boots whether you can get to it

    From BB blog: How to reset PRIV by BlackBerry | Inside BlackBerry Help Blog

    Three restart/reboot methods

    The first method, which should be used 99.9% of the time when you want to reboot your device, is using the Reboot option that appears after pressing the Power key.

    Press and hold the Power key for 3 seconds
    Select Reboot from the menu that is presented

    The second reset method should be used if pressing the Power key does not produce the menu with Power Off and Restart. For example, if an app or game you are using won’t close, use this option to restart your device.

    Press and hold the Power key for 12 seconds

    Third method: Should your device fail to respond, the final reset method is to press and hold the Power key for 32 seconds which is equivalent to removing the battery. This should result in your device booting up successfully.

    If it fails to start, however, verify you are not pressing any other keys such as Volume Up, Mute, or Volume Down while performing any of the reset methods listed above. If you use a case for your device you may want to remove it as it might be pressing a button inadvertently.

    And just for an extra measure, if needed:

    Safe Mode:

    The next step is placing your device into safe mode.

    When used, Safe Mode will disable any third party apps or games you have installed. As a result of this, should your device not exhibit the issue while in Safe Mode it’s safe to assume the issue is specific to an app or game you have installed.

    Press and hold the power key
    Tap and hold Power off (that is Press/Hold the Power Off prompt line) when it appears
    When prompted, tap OK to reboot to Safe Mode

    To get out of Safe Mode, press and hold the power key followed by tapping Reboot.

    After testing, should your device not exhibit any issues, the next step is to remove recently installed applications one by one until the issue is resolved.

    Thanks... Task Manager did not show MacDroid, I tried the rebooting and safe mode no luck and then looked within the app settings like you said and when I activated the app it gave me the option to delete. All gone!

    Device admin still does not work, but that's OK. When you choose to un-check, for example Greenify, the app stops working and closes.
