Google Play store question - Asus Transformer TF700

Not sure exactly where to post this? In the Google Play store settings I have the auto update disabled but whenever I reboot if there is a update for a app it will automatically download and install. How do I stop this?

If you unchecked the Auto update setting how could the apps update automatically. Ok check it like this: tap the 3 dots in the right top corner and go to settings. Check if you have ticked "Auto update apps" or "Update over WfiFi only" options.
If this doesn't work then tell me. I'll suggest you something else.

There's a specific toggle for individual apps to allow them to auto-update, too. Might check that as well. If that doesn't work, try clearing the Play Store's data (wiping all preferences), open up the Play Store, and then wait a while (up to a few days, depending on what number of apps you have installed and how active their developers are ) and see what happens.

The only options I have checked are the notification of apps and games I have downloaded and the Google Admob. As for the individual apps I never check the automatic update box. I will try the other suggestions made by others here. Thanks everyone

Q? Stop Market from Auto Update Downloaded apps

I noticed this morning (tnt 3.1.2) that some of my apps (like youtube) were updated automatically and then a notice popped up. I did go into market and change "notifications" to "no" but it does not say anything about turning off auto update. Am I missing something.
Thanks
Under Market settings for Notifications, I only have the options to:
1) Notify me
2) Do not notify me
I chose Notify me. I don't get automatic downloads.
On the apps that you do not want to get auto-updates, open them in the market app and make sure that the check box is cleared for "Allow Auto Updates"

That is the ticket! You have been thanked
Thought I'd point out I had a slightly different Market settings screen ('had' is the big word, it changed to be like 'normal' now with only the notifications options in it).
Before, mine had a setting above the notifications setting about Market filtering (I didn't touch it, though, was too busy and just thought I'd see what was there since this is the new Market screen).
It's gone now and can't get it back (I don't know what settings were under it).

Same thing happened to me! The filter was there one moment, and gone the next...
Perhaps a new beta feature not yet ready to be unlocked for all?

How do you enable OK Google?

The title says it all. It is grayed out whether custom choice wake up is selected or not.
Go to the Google menu km the Settings, from there "search and now" and enable what you need.
Thanks for the advice but that option is grayed out. ""Ok Google" detction" Under "Search & Now". I will post a screenshot later on.
Try cleaning the data of the google app, then uninstall and reinstall.
As far as I know, OK Google works from the app or google launcher home screen
This is what it looks like. I tried clearing cache and data. I will now try uninstalling the updates.
Edit: I cannot uninstall or disable the Google app. What gives? I want to avoid factory reset if possible.
Look for permissions given to the google app, enable mic if disabled and try google now launcher
Thank you for the advice. I was able to get the "OK Google" command to work. The option is still grayed out in the setting, but I did it via Google Play app. It is an odd bug (if it is). Maybe it has to do with Huawei's voice command option (that wakes up the phone)?
It can, since EMUI is kinda aggressive with apps

Google Pay - Apps drawing over the screen stopping me adding a card

I'm on Havok Rom, and I've got magisk installed, and it passes all safety checks and is hidden from google pay. Google pay works fine until i go to confirm the card details, then i get a pop up saying "looks like another app is blocking access to the wallet, Turn off any apps that might be drawing over the screen and try again"
I've disabled all apps from Displaying over other apps in the settings, but this error keeps popping up.
Does anyone know solution to this?
Did you find a solution to this? I am on stock and have the same issue.
I don't get the same error message, but I can't use my credit card with Google Pay anymore... I get the error message "Couldn't finish setup to pay in stores. This phone can't be used to pay in stores. This may be because it is rooted or altered in some other way".
It is rooted. Of course it is.
I'm using a OnePlus 6 with the latest firmware. My Recovery or Kernel aren't modified. Google Pay is hidden in Magisk and passes the SafetyNet test.
What gives? Google increased it's root detection? Is it happening to someone else?
Thank you!

no solution found yet, even on a completely fresh ROM install with no apps other than Google it still gives me the same message.
I have the same problem with one banking app. Others work fine except one. Also on stock ROM

OK, I started thinking maybe this is something to do with the gesture area at the bottom of the screen, and I think I'm right as I have a solution that works (at least for me).
Go to Settings->Buttons & Gestures->Navigation Bar & Gestures
Under 'Choose Navigation Bar' select 'Back, Home, Recents'
Now go into 'Navigation Bar Customisation' and turn on 'Hide the navigation bar' - this will add an icon on the left of the nav bar allowing you to pin or unpin (autohide) it.
Now go back into the Google Pay app and start setting up your card. When you get to the point where the 'Continue' button is missing pin or unpin the navigation bar, depending on what state its in currently. The 'Continue' button will appear.
Doesn't work for me unfortunately, continue button has always been there but I can't click it in the confirming card details section due to the app drawing over the screen notification, and unfortunately removing the nav bar didn't change anything.

Had a similar issue. The only way I got it to work is go to settings: Apps -> Google Play Services ->Permissions -> Disable phone/telephone. Try again.
For me BLue light filter app was blocking the wallet to pay after recent update on wallet. By turning off filter app, wallet worked.
This is not working for me as well. Any possible fix? The fixes mentioned in the comments do not work for me. I have disabled drawing over apps for all apps
Possible solution
Make sure you arent using an app to dull your screen resolution. Turn it off in settings.
I don't know if this will work or not but I would suggest going through all of your apps yes I know it's probably a lot. Turning off the permission to draw over other apps one by one. Reboot your device and check to see if it's working

Try turning off smart pixels or any such thing
Try turning off battery saver. It worked for me.
Got the resolution
Just turn off the smart pixel if it's enabled
I found the solution guys. App notifications are the culprits here. You have to clear the notifications by dragging down the notification bar from top. It resolved the issue for me. Please try and comment.
The Problem I have also face, but I have resolved the issue by uninstalling the blue lite app, the screen will impact on the google pay and Irctc app
Sorry for posting in the wrong section. I am using Oneplus 5 with the crdroid pie based rom. For me the issue was fixed by turning off the smart pixels option in crdroid settings.
Developer options
The only thing that helped me was disabling developer options. I think Google Pay assumes that since the developer options are enable the device isn't safe.
Hope it helps.
(I have an ASUS Zenfone 4)
I had the same issue on android. Turned out it was the facebook messenger app. Force close it in app settings and should work

No push notifications on lot of apps?

Hello
I bought Mate 30 pro 5G LIO N29 three weeks ago and I been having really annoying issues with push notifications from lot of list of apps, its actually weird that there's just Whatsapp and other Huawei apps have push notifications working but not for so many others.
I sideloaded apps and they all up to date, I made sure the app have all permission needed, app launch is set to manual and everything is active there, in Battery optimization I set "Not allowed" for these apps, I enabled "Stay active when device sleeps"... I dont know what else I can do there....
so apps list is what I can actually remember now: Skype, Discord, LINE chat, SofaScore, LiveScore, Amazon Shopping, Reddit, Twitch, and few more....
So while I have these apps running, I can get notification while using them, but the moment I go to home screen or just lock the phone, its absolutely dead. and nothing work at all, except Huawei apps and whatsapp, I even restored my phone factory settings couple of times and installed only Skype just for testing but still no push notifications there
Phone is is updated to this day, Android 10 December 1, 2019, EMUI 10.0.0.192 patch02
if someone please could help me figure this out.... I would really really appreciate it <3
I read that you have sideloaded apps.
One question: Have you sideloaded GMS?
Quite a fine bit of apps, depends on GMS for push notification.
After sideloading GMS, allow all permission for google play services and set "not allowed" in battery optimization. Other apps you can leave them as "allowed".

Man, I would never ever thought these apps would need GMS in order for them to have push notifications working, I just sideloaded GMS and everything working fine! didn't even need to do any of battery optimization or app launch stuffs at all, Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :good:
It would really suck if you cant sideload GMS on this phone, apparently too many apps depend on that.
I have side loaded Google services, stopped battery optimisation for apps and manual launch as well. But still not getting notified from alot of apps. ?

Notification fix from 4pda forum
To the necessary application: a) give — all rights, and b) allow, for it — all notifications, in “Settings”; 2) Put the necessary application, under the “lock”, in the background (in “Running applications”, pull the shortcut of the Required applications down and let go);
3) Launch of the Required application — disable automatic control, launch only in manual mode (for it, activate all three “check-boxes”: 1) Autostart, 2) Indirect launch, 3) Work in the background), in: " Manager ">" Launch applications ";
4) "Settings"> "Applications"> submenu "More"> "Show system"> "Google Service Framework"> "Rights"> "Other rights" and activate the items: "View instant messages" and "Add instant messages";
5) "Settings"> "Battery"> "Other battery settings" - turn on WI-FI and data transfer when the screen is off and in sleep mode (for work, in the background);
6) "Settings"> "Applications"> "Required application"> "Traffic statistics"> Turn on "Ignore data traffic" (bottom);
7) "Settings"> "Wireless networks"> "Traffic statistics"> "Smart traffic saving" - disable;
8) For the desired application, allow to ignore battery optimization (in the "Special Access");
9) Power saving mode ("Settings"> "Battery") - disable;
10 "Settings"> "System"> "For Developers" -include: "Permanent data transfer";
11) Make sure that the desired application is not in the list of "inactive applications" ("Settings"> "System"> "For Developers"> "Inactive Applications"). Change its state (on-active), if necessary.
Looks like it's working method...

Did you ever find a solution for this?
There was no solution for this miserable problem, Many apps including WhatsApp just goes to sleep after a while.
I almost risked something extremely crucial as I didn't get a WhatsApp message delivered to me on time. Gave up on the phone the next minute and switched back to a less-complicated phone.
Freeze Google framework and use alternative app store and you will get notifications back.

Question Smartthings app.

Hi. I've recently just got the Flip3 a few days ago and have noticed that Smartthings has been permanently running in the background since setting the phone up. The confusing thing is that according to the Galaxy Store and Play Store the app isn't installed. I can't even see it in the apps list. Any ideas on where it may be hiding and how to kill it? Thanks
@The-Observer77
Go to Settings > Apps. When you see "My Apps", tap on the three bar icon just to the right.
Once the drop down appears, toggle to where "System" apps are included.
Then, either scroll down to see the Smart Things app (or use the search bar). It's a system app that's not going to appear in your app drawer.
However, there is a user-interface app that can be installed from the Galaxy App Store or the Google Play Store.
@KOLIOSIS
Hi. I've looked where you said and the only options I see when I tap the 3 dots are the following:
Permission manager, Special access and Reset app preferences.

Look down just a bit further, where you see your listed apps....... It will literally say "Your Apps"....... Tap to the right of that & you'll see the toggle I'm talking about..
@KOLIOSIS
Call it a momentary lapse in concentration. Found it right where you mention. Hopefully clearing the cache and data will stop it using so much battery. Thanks.

No problem, it's definitely in a weird place......
IIRC, this placement of the toggle for system apps was originally right where you were looking until Samsung's flavor of Android 11 rolled out.
Seems illogical to me as well, as if Samsung doesn't want anyone to have easy access to system app info.
I'm guessing the only way you're going to be able to stop the app from using battery is to use a package disabler app, or, disable it w/an ADB command.
@KOLIOSIS
Clearing the cache and data on SmartThings seems to have worked. Battery life has vastly improved now.
