How do you access it?

AT&T has disabled access to it....its there on the phone (you can see it in Application Manager), but not accessible, atleast for AT&T variants...I can't tell you about the other carriers

I have the Verizon version and it's not there either.

Why dont they want us to use it?

Wish I knew the answer to that

On AT&T there is the AT&T Usage Manager app, which is the one AT&T app you can't disable, and maybe that does some of the things Smart Manager does? I haven't opened it and refuse to do so, I don't need AT&T's poorly optimized crapware eating though battery, so I'm not 100% sure if it's just data usage it monitors or it is something similes to Smart Manager.

I actually messed around with some of their bloat apps just for kicks for a second but they included some nonsense called 'Usage Manager.' This app is a half-a** attempt that shows Battery, Active Apps, Connections info and data usage.

Looks like they chose to remove that nice app samsung included in place of their in-house option. I hate AT&T.

Hate how much ever your want, no ****s given by the useless carriers and continue to crap up and do whatever the hell we want.

Its funny this Smart Manager app is total bloat, you don't want it. Its CleanMaster. I'm glad ATT actually removed it altogether.

I agree! Thankfully it's not on VZW either. Keep CleanMaster off your phone!

You can't access it on the Sprint version, but it's definitely on the device.

While not the best for AT&T users, having Usage Manager is better than not having it. At a loss for not making it available and leaving it up to the customer to decide to use it or disable it.

Clean Master was actually a pretty good app. It made my Z3 faster everytime I ran it

How is bloatware that does nothing but take up space on our phone better then an app that takes up space on our phone and actually does something?

Honestly, but did you really need it?

Clean Master has to be the most downloaded peice of garbage that is brainwashing countless users into thinking that their phone is slow or hot and you must clean all of your cashe files or your phone is going to explode!

The only thing I really used Clean Master for was the junk files. I personally get an uneasy feeling knowing there are junk files on my phone taking up valuable space. Just like on a PC, its good to clean out the temporary files in the "Temp" folder, otherwise it will slow your computer down.

Clean Master had other features that seemed to be BS, such as the cooling device feature. I thought the "Game Boost" feature worked well though.
