I've been doing some searching on the subject but all I find is old threads/info or discussions that don't apply to me, so anyway, hopefully someone can help me.
I can't find any paid apps when i search on the Market, however if I follow a direct link or look for them under additional apps for a certain dev/publisher then they show up... Regardless when i click on the price to buy it I get an error that says "The item you were attempting to purchase could not be found. ". If it were a location issue I think I'd get a different error no?
I've had my TF since the summer and I honestly can't remember if I've ever bought any apps directly on it... I've installed plenty of free apps and stuff from Amazon's App store, plus a few apps that I originally bought on my phone (all previously purchased apps still show up under My Apps)... But it's quite possible I never bought any apps on the tablet. Basically i've no idea if this a new or recent problem.
However I can buy apps on my Sprint phone just fine even while on the same account and Wifi connection. I'm in Puerto Rico, which can sometimes find itself in limbo when it comes to things like this but the fact that the market works fine on the phone also makes me think it shouldn't be a location issue. My TF is stock, not rooted, and has the latest updates.
Oh and I have already tried force stopping the market, clearing data/cache for it, restarting the tablet, and removing / re-adding my Google account on the tablet. On the web version of the market it just says any paid app is incompatible with the TF.
Don't know if anyone has noticed but the play store has been updated, not the app but the website version.
The reason i mention it is because if you go to the play store and click the "My Android Apps" tab it shows you all the apps you have installed and used to have installed(Which is nothing new), but the feature i have noticed which may come in handy for many is you can now update your apps from this tab when there is an update available, the reason this would come in handy for me is like many ppl i have modified my DPI and as most know doing so make some apps incompatible for your phone and unable to update from the play store app.
Well not any more as you can now update them from the play store even those ones that show up in your app store as not being compatible but you already have them installed.
Sorry if this is been covered before or is old news i done a quick search and had a quick look but never found anything..
I got a notification of new app updates today, and when I clicked on it I saw SnapChat and Pokemon Go in the list. I've been using Market Fixer to keep them out of the update list, because the newest version of PG isn't compatible with root and the newer versions of SnapChat aren't compatible with SnapPrefs.
So I went to Market Fixer, and it's been really easy to knock them off the list because they both fit on the screen at the same time...except now they suddenly didn't. In between there were a couple of apps I didn't recognise - SapaMonitor, Samsung Push Service, Samsung Print Service Plugin, and Samsung Mirror Link. One or two of them may have been there previously, but certainly not all of them.
The available updates were Android System WebView, Beaming Service for Samsung, Samsung Gear, and Samsung Print Service Plugin.
What are these apps and where did they come from?
Hey everyone...
I recently purchased a Galaxy S8+ (SM-G955U1) and I'm having some problems with it.
The Samsung native apps like Messages, Phone, Contacts, etc don't get updated, but in their "about" section which shows the version, says this app is up to date. I even tried going to Galaxy Apps and tried updating from there, but there is no update available. My phone itself is apparently up to date as well, but I'm not sure.
This is the software version installed:
G955U1UEU1AQH3
I went to apk websites and saw that almost all the samsung native apps on my phone are at least a couple versions out of date, and it's really bothering and annoying. To a point that my samsung messages app, doesn't even have "delivery report" option for sms. It's just not there...
2 of my family members have also Galaxy S8 pluses, and their phones function well, and everything is up to date!
So, how can I fix this problem on my phone without modding it or anything because I want my phone to remain mod free!
I will appreciate your help VERY VERY much!
Go to Galaxy apps, upper right for menu, my apps, updates

Well, that's one of the first things I did, but it didn't work. It says all apps are up to date...

What website you are using I'd like to see if my apps are updated.
load new versions from apkmirror.com, then for being able to install them without getting the "package exists" error you have to change the secure startup (off if on and vice versa), then you are able to update these system apps!

Still having issues after toggling the secure startup feature. Anyone have any other idea? Right now I still get the "package exists" error. I even try going up only one version at a time.
Same problem have updates 4 my apps but @ galaxy app store I have no updates... lol wtf?

I figured it out. I was being too impatient before. Go to apkmirror or similar sites and download the apks to the phone. Once downloaded, you need to toggle secure startup (if it is on the turn it off, but if off then you will need to turn it on). After you do that, immediately restart your phone. Once booted, head directly to the download folder and install all of the apks. Do not launch any of the apps to verify until you finish loading all of the apks or you will have to repeat the process. Once you are done, you can launch which ever app to verify. I had an issue with the apps crashing at first so I rebooted and all issues went away for now at least.
Good luck. You can also set apkmirror to notify you when a new version comes out if you so choose to go that route.
I think I may have gone too far with debloating through ADB. I did most of the work months ago with excellent results. But lastnight out of curiosity, whilst going through apps and storage, I saw that I had missed several samsung apps, and wanted to free up some space so I pulled up ADB, and removed anything pertaining to:
Samsung Upday, push service, Samsung Pass, pay, and samsung cloud. Also any package that had knox in the name.
Since doing this, Gapps no longer works. I can still open up the play store, but if I click to install an app, it does not respond. There's also no longer a tab to show my installed apps, apps won't update etc.
Does anyone know which samsung package I deleted is critical for playstore to function? Thanks.
