This app was installed all of a sudden after I rebooted my phone. It shows an update available on the Play store. Is it possible to remove it? A lot of people were complaining about it on the reviews.

I have that app but don't see it on the list.
Can't you just Un install it.
It's not on my S6.

Business Volte
It keeps prompting for an update, but unlike the other Verizon bloatware it's not showing up at all in my app list. Verizon developers must be getting creative. Any ideas for disabling this thing?

Get package disabler pro from play store and disable business Volte.
Thank you very much, @anewday. I instead downloaded the free "Disable Bloatware - Hide Apps" from InkWired, and I disabled Business VoLTE, and One Talk no longer prompted to be updated. I had never heard of "Business VoLTE" before.
How they are able to hide certain apps from appearing in the Application Manager entirely? This is really against the spirit of *nix.
Just update it then disable it.
No need to install any additional packages to disable One Talk. When you go into the application manager, click on more, click on "Show system apps". Scroll down in the list and you will see the One Talk application listed and you can disable it from there.
I got rid of it because I don't use it and it kept crashing.

Does anyone know where I can access (or see a list of) apps I've already paid for?
I've been flashing ROMs on my device heaps lately, and I've lost track of what apps I've already paid for.

Hi,
This isn't quite what I'm looking for, because this lists ALL apps.
I just want a list of apps that I've paid for that are yet to be installed.
This was available in previous Google Store apps, where if you swipe left once it gives you list of all free apps you installed, and if you swipe left once more, it gives you a list of all the apps you've paid for whether they are installed or not.
For some strange reason they got rid of this valuable function. Now I've got no idea what apps I've paid for.
Automatic transaction restore
All transactions you did through the Play Store are kept by Google and when you reinstall the app after a wipe the app should automatically reinstate your license.
You should not be able to pay twice for the same app, unless the developer uses in-app billing with multiple product codes.
I had to wipe my phone completely clean last week and it automatically reloaded all my apps, including the ones I paid for and all was fine.
I hope this was helpful.
Anyone managed to find a working safe package disabler? I feel all this bloatware is whats really killing my battery even tho I disabled &got rid of what I could. And even turned off the features I wouldn't be using that constantly drain. But I think the processes are still running for example the fingerprint process which I refuse to even use. I'd love to root but I think the tmobile s7 has been done yet.

It works without root, it just doesn't remove them and instead only disables.
The built in one (under applications, DIsable) works fine and uninstalls all the updates so you regain any memory you've lost. I've disabled several including Lookout and and T-Mobile NameID and TV.

It should be noted, that NO, THE BUILT IN ONE does not work fine, and while you mentioned the other tmobile apps, you (probably intentionally) didn't mention the terrible, disable-proof, insulting, MEMORY INTENSIVE harassment of code that is the pointless T mobile "my account" app, with its system monitoring, and permanent notifications you have to jump through hoops to disable.
The fact that I have 200 MORE Samsung apps that I'm forced to run than my vanilla android counter parts is almost as insulting as the fact that Facebook, (and messenger), whatsapp, 5 pointless t mobile apps (2 of which are trials for premium paid features) are considered equally important and can't be uninstalled.
Thats purely asinine, and the watered down built in version does nothing about the services or dependent processes (aka battery consumption and everything else)
The T mobile hidden package "com.tmobile.pr.adapt" is so invasive that it quietly asks for root, the SECOND it detects the binary and DOES SO AGAIN AND AGAIN, OVER AND OVER without us ever getting an explanation...now it even shows up in marshmallow with data usage access... the only reason we know it even exists, or wants root, is supersu pops up, as our battery bottoms out...
Now, package disabler pro is gone from the store..oh wait...is it? Or is it just gone for Samsung devices? Or maybe just T Mobile, Samsung devices? Hrrmmm
No. The built in watered down version which doesn't help us with a package like tmobile.pr.adapt or let us disable every single thing we choose to, is simply NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

My Account is not enabled on my S7 unless I start it up myself. The com.tmobile.pr.adapt is enabled but if you disable Diagnostics under App Settings in T-Mobile for me it uses very little data, 14mb in almost a month for me, and T-Mo claims that the usage is not charged to you. You are correct you cannot stop it with the default application manager, but it will not show up in the task bar unless you manually start it.
I'm not going to get into root issues, my phone is on the Jump on Demand so I'm planning to trade up every few months and yeah root is nice but for the most part unless you are a dev (I am not) you shouldn't need it. I'd love to have my copy of Root Explorer and Titanium Backup work (for restores) but can get along without it. If I really needed that stuff I wouldn't have given up my Sony Xperia Z Ultra which was running CM to go to a new unrooted platform.
Hi,
I have been using EZ package disabler since I got my S7 Edge and I am happy with it. Unfortunately, when the software update came, with too much excitement, I forgot to enable all disabled apps prior to updating the firmware. I have updated the firmware with apps disabled. What problem should I be facing? What should I do? Currently I am not experiencing any problems but I suspect that the disabled apps where not optimized. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
You can still find package disabler pro. Won't post the link because forum rules but Google is your best friend. I have it in my SD card.

How can I stop an "AT&T Software Available", don't want to lose my root access
My phone is Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and AT&T is my provider (in case that wasn't obvious)
I rooted my phone last week and completely forgot to deal with firmware updates that get pushed to my phone. If I long hold the notification it only gives options to turn off notifications and nothing about stopping them. There's nothing in my system settings to disable or turn off updates.
What can I do to make sure this update doesn't go through? How can I set it so the updates are manual?
Is there a chance I will lose root access if this update persists?
Thank you.
I used Package Disabler to stop these apps (screenshot attached) and the pop-up disappeared for good.
Keep in mind, I'm only on the PB5 update, not sure which update afterwards may have disabled it from working but i know this version worked fine. There are a few disabling apps in the play store if that one doesn't work though.
Are there any free package disabler programs? All the ones I come across require a paid license and the ones that are "free" ask for a license too.
Didn't think I should pay just to turn off an option.

That I'm not sure of. I took the plunge because it was worth holding off on updates until a good root method came out. A few bucks that's good on any phone you have is worth it in my books.

I'm using Titanium backup which allows me to uninstall any app I want. This applications that Outbreak444 listed, would it be ok to uninstall them or should I only attempt to stop.
I could uninstall them but I wanted to ask you guys before I potentially brick my phone.
P.S. I dont see Knox on my phone. I never saw it even when my phone was brand new. Should I be concerned or is this something that was removed with the S7 & S7 Edge.
Just install link2sd app , open it then search for software updates app and freeze it
NOTE: This might only apply to the Verizon version of the S9/S9+ (SM-G96xU), but for those of you who have this app, disable it.
It's labeled as "Mobile Services Manager" under Settings > Apps (it does not appear in your app drawer in your launcher).
Previously called DT Ignite (or just Ignite), it can and does install apps without your permission as instructed by your carrier. This is in addition to the apps installed on first boot by ConfigAPK (android.autoinstalls.config.samsung) and is guaranteed to just be bloat.
The package name is com.LogiaGroup.LogiaDeck and was found on my device under /system/carrier/priv-app/IgniteVerizon/IgniteVerizon.apk. Without root, you can't delete this package, but you can disable it, which will prevent it from continuing to do its dirty work.
Thx for the tip

i just removed it using adb shell and this tutorial
I found it... SM-G965U - US Cellular:
Force Stop, Storage (clear both), Disable...
mine even uninstalled an update (I didn't perform).
On AT&T, the package name is: com.dti.att
same here Globe in Philippines its just labeled as DT IGNITE, consumed too much data without us knowing its dirty work. d**n carrier

Hi there. Does anyone know what the app is called for Spectrum Mobile? As far as I know, Spectrum cell service is a relatively new thing (at least here in BFE) so I'll understand if no one is sure. Don't know if it matters or not, but they run off Verizon. Thanks in advance for any advice. I am completely new to any sort of tweaking/customization other than changing some settings here and there. (Basically just being a wimp with a leased phone.) I'm interested in learning all I can, or all I can without voiding the warranty. Lol. Thanks all and sorry if I sound clueless.
Update: still looking on my new phone for possibilities but I did just get on my S7 Edge from Verizon and found Mobile Services Manager using Package Disabler Pro. Wow! Those permissions were ridiculous.
Is it applicable in tmobile as well?
That's why I bought package disabler pro. Eliminates all vzw bloat.
Mobile services manager
I found this app also in the application list on At&t Galaxy S9+, but not in my app drawer. I uninstalled the updates for it and it went from being called mobile services manager to At&t app select. I disabled it and once I did it disappeared completely from my app list all together. It had background data enabled and everything. Sneaky At&t, try to get one iver on me.

Honestly I got tired of At&t bloatware and wifi calling notification staying on my panel. I flashed the U1 firmware to my phone last night. The AT&t firmware has a serious security issue where if I make a call and press the lock key the phone unlocks itself as soon as the call ends or if I get a call and unlock it for any reason it stays unlocked after the phone call. I use headphones at work for my calls and this leaves it unlocked in my pocket doing all kinds of things. At&t says not an issue just pull your phone out and lock it. I say Im not supposed to have my phone at all and I rely on the answer and end call button on my headphones and need it to stayocked in my pocket. I dont have this issue with the U1 firmware. And it has a data switch in the shortcut pull down menu so no background data period.
I am reading this thread after finding it by Google search.
I am trying to find the source of my battery drain on my Samsung Note 8.
While searching and deleting apps, I stumbled across this unknown thing, and here I am.
Btw...
I'm on T-Mobile.
Be aware of this new bloatware system app name! Mobile Device Manager(formerly known as DT Ignite) has now changed it's name to Verizon App Manager. Don't be fooled, disable this so-called 'system app' ASAP to prevent it from installing unwanted apps (mostly games) onto your phone while eating up your phone's resources and data!
I have already disabled auto-update from Play Store, however, one of my apps keeps updating to the new version. I prefer to keep the old version of this app but the app keeps updating on its own. How do I fix this?

Sounds like it's not updating through playstore. Maybe it's an automated app routine that calls an update request to its update server. If you have a firewall installed you can block internet access for this app for example.
I would avoid using such app, find its alternatives

:good:
It seems that the app doesn't update itself through Google Play. Check whether there is any setting option about auto-updating in the app. If not, you may try to disable its permission about internet access.
