Google Play Books & Movies - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Seems the disabling Books and Movies in stock phone doesn't stick for me. Anyone else see this?

Yea, I have this issue. Also for some reason, one of my folder rearranges itself after reboot.

Yea I've had the same problem. Some people are able to freeze it but I've tried on my last s3 and this replacement one. It'll freeze then as soon as I restart there defrosted. Its weird.
Tap'n

Same problem here, I even tried disabling them on another non rooted phone.
I can't imagine any problems from uninstalling them, but I just got used to freezing them on reboot or just leaving them alone.

Glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

Odd Phone Quirk (MP3 Files)

So, as long as I've had my GS4G, the phone has had this odd little behavior. After a day or so, the phone "forgets" that it can play mp3 files. I've seen this on both the stock ROM and Black Ice, since I've installed both on my phone. The problem goes away if I shutdown/boot up the phone, or just restart, but I'm wondering if I'm the only one that's experiencing this or if anyone else is as well.
Of course, if anyone's been able to fix this issue, that's just a bonus.
My friend had that problem on his captivate...was able to fix by uninstalling twitter(no idea why they're related)

Native android apps

Can I remove the browser, email and messaging apps? I currently have them frozen in TB with no negative outcome. I simply don't use them, ever.

Short answer, yes.
Long answer, yes but it's probably not a good idea to do so.

A lot of things rely on then to function. Freezing isn't the same; I freeze Wifi Calling with no issues but when I try to uninstall it I get constant force closes every second until I do a battery pull, and that's on a bit of propriety software! I sincerely doubt letting Messaging or the like exist is hurting you enough to warrant risking potently annoying problems

I just hate having things installed I don't use, like rom manager and dev tools. Never use either.

Those apps are tied to android system dunno why it wont give fc on freeze since its almost the same as uninstalling them. But ya if you did delete those you would get tons of fc on startup and be forced to do a battery pull and reflash rom or backup.

Because you also need to delete the corresponding .so file in the lib folder.

If you are on a stock rom and delete system apps you can never install any future OTA updates. The updates check all system files first and make sure they are unchanged. If you freeze apps you just defrost them before installing an OTA. If you deleted them then no chance of OTA update, period. If you are not on a stock rom then it doesn't matter. You might wind up with a continuous force close issue that requires reflashing the rom.

I just froze them instead. Maybe before I flash my next rom I'll give it a go.

I got rid of stock browser and tmobile stuff off of my phone and didn't receive FC's.
The downside ro this is if you remove the browser or anything when you do a hard reset it won't be there so you have to rely on a back up and be careful what you unistall.
I learned that the hard way when i first started with android. I unistalled swype since i use SwiftKey but did a hard reset to clear everything out and well i couldn't log in to my google account at the beginning because there was no virtual keyboard to use.

Xda app keeps disappearing

My xda premium app keeps disappearing for some reason maybe its AT&T uninstalling it. Is anyone else having the same issue? I'm currently on non rooted stock rom.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk
Lol no att is not uninstalling it. By ut keeps disapearing what exactly do u mean you know there is more then 1 home screen right? Is it possible it on one of your other home screens? Did u open the app drawer and scroll through your apps and not see it as well?
I've had this happen myself the past few days ever since I started messing around with some roms. For me, I'd go to click on the app shortcut and it would say it doesn't exist. I'd have to go back into Market and reinstall. Very odd issue and its happened around 3 times.
The last time it happened was when I went back to stock like I am now. I am still rooted though.

Nope. Just had this issue pop up again after I did a nand restore from stock. I couldn't access the app, it no longer showed anywhere on the phone (/system/app, Applications, etc.) and yet the Market showed it was installed. I ended up having to install the free app and then uninstall that to then reinstall the premium one.
Not had an issue like this with any other app.

Dam! I should've waited until this morning to see all these posts. I went ahead last night and flashed back to stock! Still didn't work!
The problem was not with our tablets or the app. It was an issue on Google's end. It has been fixed and is confirmed to be working on all devices again.
Thank God of Titanium Backup!!! Saved my ass.

4.2.2 and Netflix

I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with stock ROM. I got the 4.2.2 update via OTA a couple of weeks ago. I did a factory reset and since then, Netflix has been laggy and buffering like crazy. Anyone have any idea as to what to do? Is it me? Netflix?
Thanks in advance.

Sorry i haven't seen any issues with my 4.2.2 OTA update on the Tab 2 10.1 GT-P5113 with NetFlix. Maybe something different but i would highly doubt much difference between the ROMs.

I am guessing there isn't any difference between 7.0 and 10.1. I have asked in other forums and no one seems to have an answer. There was one other person with a Tab 2 7.0 with issues with NetFlix and Hulu Plus. Seems to be hit and miss.

I was told that my slower internet connection has a lot to do with it. Since it is in HD all the time, and doesn't change with your connection, it causes it to stutter.

I have had the same problem. I am not so sure it is the internet connection. I get 20Mb speedtest results when I am experiencing this.

I did a factory reset and still had issues so I did a second factory reset and made sure that google didn't install any apps that were on my account (went into play store and stopped the automatic installs after I added my account). Seems to be working now, so I guess there was a badly behaving app that I had installed. I am not sure what it was, I have reinstalled most of what I had on there before, it is still working.
I am going to have to try that. Thanks a lot.

I did this yesterday after my Tab was running like complete crap. It worked. No stutter or anything after the second reset. I just kept some apps off that I didn't really need off of it. Is yours still running ok after these few days? Thanks for your input.
