Answer 1

If scope must be applied in some cases, then you can set a timeout so that the $apply is deferred until the next tick

setTimeout(function(){ scope.$apply(); });

or wrap your code in a $timeout(function(){ .. }); because it will automatically $apply the scope at the end of execution. If you need your function to behave synchronously, I'd do the first.
