It pops up every time I restart the phone
How do we make it stop?
So annoying!

i accidentally let it install but after it installed the bloat I was able to uninstall all the apps without even being rooted. it doesn't store them as system apps. only one it wouldnt let me uninstall was sprint zone which may have already been on the phone to begin with

ah i gotcha...i use Apex launcher so all it was for me was clearing home default and re-selecting Apex...can you long press the popup in your notification bar->app info-> then disable notifications/ force stop? if not and you are rooted maybe you could freeze it in titanium backup.

I tried to freeze wi-fi calling in Titanium Backup. But after that I still see this app when I check it in setting-->application-->managing-->running. And just as before, you cannot kill it from running application. Is this normal?
I used bloat freezer to freeze it and my battery life has been 10000000xs better ever since.

not normal. i froze it on mine, and my husband froze it on his, both using titanium and i havent seen it running since. perhaps you need a reboot? the app isnt in your drawer anymore, is it?

I just took couple of screen shots. This is my first time to link files from dropbox. Hopefully it will work.
here it shows the wi-fi calling has been frozen
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.23.55.png
and here is shows the wi-fi calling is stll in running app list
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/27291692/g2x/2011-04-28 09.22.59.png
I cannot see the wi-fi calling app in the application screen. --if that's what you mean in my "drawer"(?)
When you say reboot, do you mean press hold the power button to turn the phone and and back on again? I think I did that last night but apparently it didn't resolve the problem.
p.s. the same thing happens to one of "my account" app as well (the one cannot be killed by manage application in setting)
same case as OP. Froze wifi calling and MyAccount with TitaniumBackup, but both apps still run. (yes they disappeared from the menu, but they are still constantly running)

You should have to reset it... cause i had the same problem i froze My Device and it sent me into this weird force close loop but after i reset the phone it didn't show up in the processes again.

factor reset? again? well, if that's the only easy option...
btw, I think someone mentioned there is thread that gives a complete of bloatware that could be frozen. But maybe I not good enough at searching, can anyone point it out? Thanks.

No no no i mean like battery pull or turn the power off and on not Factory Reset! and ALL bloatware can be frozen and/or removed if you want! But the only reason you get this weird force close loop is cause you freeze/remove the program, but the process is still running leading to the phone not knowing what to do. Than after you reset it(Not Factory Reset) it wont start up because you have removed the app.

I do not have any FC problem. My problem is simply that, when I freeze the bloats with titanium backup, these bloats would be removed from the app drawer BUT still be running in the background. (this scenario applies to WIFI calling and Myaccount)
I have restarted the phone, factory reset, and tried this on 2 phones already. So I really doubt that would fix the problem.
1 question: what do you freeze them with? Maybe bloat freezer can do a better job than titanium?
just kidding! I went to the menu you are referring to and saw the apps under running processes for me too! This scares me, however since the program is present but frozen, aka can't be actively run, I am ambivalent as to whether it has an adverse effect on battery life. (maybe since it's frozen it is present on the list but won't drain battery?) Also, maybe it's presence there insures that it won't get in the way of an otA

Maybe you should try bloat freezer and reply back.

Or you can use AntTek App Manager(It is free and does the same thing that Bloat Freezer does)

I been using root explorer to move apk's outta of the folder and store them on my external sd and save them on my desktop.
I used bloat freezer and it worked like a charm.

so just to double check-- these apps dont show up in your running processes anymore?

please confirm that they don't run anymore
I completely uninstalled it from my phone. If it 'breaks' OTA updates, I'm sure there will be a ROM dump within hours anyway on here, if I'm not running CM7 by then that is.
yea the thing is that, I sometimes want to unfreeze Myaccount or WIFI calling to actually use them. Uninstalling/reinstalling is quite tedious every time
I am removing things like Kindle, Google TV, etc.....When I open the Playstore it all pushes back down. Any way to stop this?

Try disabling or freezing them instead. We only have limited root access, and I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure we don't have root access to where the system apps "live". I disabled some, and froze others (by that I mean disabled through Android-Settings-App Manager, or froze through TiBu), and they're still frozen after a reboot.
Yeah right now root can only write to system/xbin I believe so freezing and disabling is gonna be your only option for right now. Any appearance of deleting apps will revert if you refresh the app or reboot the phone, is what I've read.
Freeze works fine. I de-bloated my M8 and it seems to stick after reboot.
And can I disable/remove it without removing features?

Love the clip. It's an update service for the factory Samsung apps that aren't available in the play store (S Voice, S Calender, S memo, messaging, any of the Samsung apps). Prior to this there wasn't a reliable way of updating those apps without having Samsung Apps installed (Even now its not reliable). Now with this "Push" service updated Samsung will be able to push OTA updates to those apps if needed. Disabling/uninstall is the way to go since no real purpose (unless you use samsung play store and want push notifications). Other than that, its a wakelock for our device.

How do you guys get that nonsense to go away completely? I have uninstalled it 3 times and after every reboot it comes back. I disabled automatic updating, but I can't figure out how to remove it altogether. It shows up in the store as an update, so it isn't really gone. I looked in root/system/apps but didn't see it.

TiBu.... wipe data for SPS and then uninstall!
My phone is not rooted. Its only a week old so I'd like to avoid rooting for a while due to warranty.
I want to remove a few apps that came pre-installed on my phone like "Hangouts" but every time that I remove them, they reinstall automatically a while later.
How do I permanently uninstall the apps so that they remain uninstalled?

Uninstall them, disable them, and turn off automatic updating for that app in the play store beforehand.
Is the information here safe to be used for removing bloatware on my 8T?

This isn't really removing, more hiding from the main user those apps, thus making them not start. But the apks are still here, and after a reset the apps will be there again.
This is totally safe tho, and it's a great way to get rid of them if you don't reset every 2 days, so feel free to try
i just tried using titanium backup paid version to freeze some apps. it still works. you won't see the apps in the drawer until you defrost them again.
issuing those adb commands will modify system settings, so it might be a pita to get updates after you do that. you'll have to remember which apps you deleted and reinstall them again. i could be wrong and this might be a non-issue, i just remember earlier days and modifying system data and then having to make sure all the stock apps were still there to take an ota.
ADB will not stop OTA's from taking place unless you uninstall/disable something relevant to the app that is needed to search/find/download/install the said OTA. After the OTA is applied the apps you uninstalled/disabled (whichever worked) will not come back. As mentioned, using ADB itself without root does not really uninstall them like you think it does. They're still there. So although an OTA will not show them to still be there, a factory reset will bring them back. So the only real way to completely uninstall bloat is to have root. But even then a factory reset will bring them back because they are built in to the native OS.

Disabling the app is just as good as removing it completely. There isn't really any reason to delete the apps like this (if no uninstall option exists) because once they're disabled they will not run.
I know people have a fascination with deleting system apps, but it's not like you can free up space this way.
Factory reset should bring them back. But this is safer for the integrity of the firmware.
Freezing system apps that do not have the disable option (with TB) is always preferred over deleting them, in my opinion.
Ultimately, you can always save yourself by using the MSM tool to restore.
