I have downloaded many utility applications on my Samsung Galaxy S4 but I'm having hard time uninstalling those apps. When I go to the settings tab and head to the uninstalling sector, I can see the force stop and uninstall buttons to be grayed out. This means that I cannot stop or install the app. What's the fix?
