Hi everybody!
I'm having issues with battery life, I noticed that much of the battery is consumed by the android system process, and therefore of all the many samsung packages.
I would like to know if anyone has a list of packages that can be safely removed from oreo, after I will remove them with adb commands. I would like to use an app as a package disabler, but now these apps appear and disappear too often from the store and the feedback leave me a little confused.
Can anyone help me?
All the info is already on the forums (read a few threads )

Thanks bro! The only bad thing is that I had already bought the app some time ago, I dont know if it was from this developer or a similar one from another developer, unfortunately I only remember that I used it together with an additional plugin... now I dont find it in my shopping list...

If it has a price over the install button saying Buy, you did not buy it with this Google account, either find the account you purchased it through and log into Google Play with that, or buy it again

I believe you didnt understand mate...
I bought these apps twice, with the same account, my only one. And both apps I bought have disappeared from the store, like their developers. In my Gmail I still have the purchase invoices, opening the links of the developers dont appear to me anything, they disappeared and, probably, reappear with other names.
Reading on the forum it seems I'm not the only one to have noticed that these developers appear and reappear, so users have to repurchase the app every time

Well yea, if the original app is removed, then a new one appears in it's place, then it is a different app, even if it does the same thing / seems identical, maybe the dev sold it to someone else who has re-upped it under a different name, either way you'd need to buy it again

I don't think so... In the mail invoice that google send when you make a purchase there is always a contact email from the developer near his name.
The contact email that I see in my old invoice is identical to the contact email that is here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpremium
So I would say that the developer is always the same, He simply likes to reappear always with different names so as to take more money from those who are forced to buy back the app every time, it's simply a dishonest trick

I guess if you want to disable packages, it's gonna cost £2~ every time you reset your phone if it gets blacklisted, I've only reset my phone once in 12 months, £2 odd every 12 months is fine
At least there is a non root option
In the end, after 2 days, the developer replied giving me a code to redeem the app for free from the store.
Now with Package disabler pro (with that xml list) and Greenify, the battery life goes a bit better. I do about 4h of screen on (compared to before I was about 2h30m).

you've told that you having issue with app disabler? just do the adb trick to disable every app that you want

Hai..
I have a GS2, which is my first android device. Now I'm woundering, is it possible to purchase apps and pay with the phone bill?
Since I dont have a credit card
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
The last time I checked it is entirely possible. Just buy the app in the pc version of the app market and when you click purchase, I think it gives you options. At least it worked once for me, not sure if it still does.
[EDIT]
It might only be for app's specified by your carrier though, not quite sure.

In the US ( I noticed your not from the US, but I can only base my answer on the US, since I live here/there) T-Mobile US will only allow you to purchase apps that are in US currency. If an app is paid for in another currency the Carrier option won't work. Check that the app you want to purchase is in your currency and/or call your carrier to ask their policy. (FYI just because an app displays the price in your currency doesn't mean it isn't processed in a different one. Use Titanium Backup as an example, it says in the app description that it uses Swiss Francs)
I went to purchance my first app, I selected to have my phone bill charged rather than using my credit card. I received an email when I hit download, the email was basically a receipt, but right after the receipt email I received another email telling me the download was canceled and I wont b charged?? I've tried to download it a few other times and each time I hit download I get a pop up that saids "I already have a pending order for this item" what's the deal?

Why not make things a lot easier on yourself and signup for a Google Checkout account?
It's so easy to do and once you have signed up and find an app you want to buy it's approved instantly right on the spot, and the download/installation is instant too. There are many ways to setup the Google Checkout.
Here is the link: http://checkout.google.com/sell/?promo=sha2&gsessionid=Ie2PYCQ5SL0
Good luck!
Thanks for the link. Kinda funny tho, I just received a call from att (follow up call on an issue on one of my other phones) I asked her the same thing and she told me that there's a purchase blocker on my account. I don't know anything about that, she told me that she can either unblock my account for good or unlock just so I can download this app, I asked if there's a why for me to block/unblock as I see fit, she said she'll send me an email on how to monitor my account. Never had to deal with this sort of thing with my iphones, but I guess its a good thing to have.

the app store bills through the itunes account doesn't it? I guess the purchase blocking for the phone bill is to prevent freud. I've used andriod since before I knew that was an option and pay for apps with my debit card, though I may put it on my phone bill now because I hate to see my bill change and it'll keep me from making impulive buys, the few dolars seems more significant on my phone bill than out of my bank account. I have like 10 apps that are useless to me now and will never use like rom manager and set cpu.
Google is starting to p*** me off more and more lately.
I use or should I say used to use an app called #Picasafolio to manage my #Picasa photos. It's a paid app but the best at what it does and is reasonably priced.
The dev has always been really responsive and usually has a resolution to any issues the same day. I was having some problems relating to the 4.4 update and downloading folders. Emailed the dev who chased down the issue and pushed an update to the play store. Updated last night but didn't try it till this morning. Had an issue where I couldn't login so contacted the dev who responded promptly with the following email:
'This is because Google has terminated the app for apparent violations of copyright. I've appealed but this looks like the end of my business.
Thanks,
Brian'
Checked the play store and sure enough a search reveals nothing. No explanation as to why the app is no longer there, nothing.
I feel angry on behalf of Brian who is a dedicated developer for the android market, no notice, no attempt to resolve the situation, just the app removed from the play store and an email.
I'm one of the lucky ones who are aware of what's happened but what about everyone else who purchased the app? This app has been in the store for a long time so the decision to pull it now seems ridiculous.
Surely as Google Play being a middleman then they have some responsibility to the buyer. After all if I purchased something on Amazon which later didn't work etc I could contact Amazon for a resolution.
There are still plenty of apps on the Play Store which perform similar functions so why remove this one.
I've purchased plenty of apps via the playstore but from now on unless I can get them through Amazon I will have to look for alternatives. I'm not spending money on something just for Google to decide they no longer like it or it no longer fits in the terms and conditions.
Still bloody annoyed with Goggle!!!!!

Yep. I have multiple devices with PIC backup so having something like this is essential to manage the auto backup folder. Since Google has blocked the OAuth the app is now useless.
Well suck me sideways..
This explains why I can't find it in Play store from my tablet..

Anybody know how to raise a complaint with Google about this?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4
Some good news! ?
I have republished the app on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapwood.pfolio, addressing the most likely reason for the ban (app name). I have no assurance that Google won't ban this app as well, but as the rest of the app had been stable for at least a year, the app name was the likely reason.
I was able update the app on Amazon, so users there will be receiving an app update to fix the login issue once Amazon approves it.
For Google Play users that want to continue to receive updates or want to avoid the login workaround, please purchase the new app and send me the email address used to purchase the original app. I'll refund that prior order so everything comes out even in the end. I apologize for this mess.
Thanks,
Brian

Hello,
I recently received a second hand Google Pixel. It was running selfish N2G470 Sailfish 7.1.2. Upon further inspection I realized it was also OEM from Google. Once I purchased a Type-C charger to see if the phone even worked, I quickly realized it had the FRP locking activated and no way into the phone.. After days of Dead End video's, Out Dated Guides, and pointless APK files, I continued searching for a solution. A few days later, while shopping on EBay, I ran across a remote FRP service that said they would remote in using Team Viewer and have it completed within 1 hour after making initial contact with me after the purchase. I was skeptal. But the money was protected through PayPal and it was only $10.00. Soon after, I am contacted, remotely assisted, and step by step guide on the pixel itself and 15 min later, through the FRP Lock. I should have taken better instructions when he was telling me over video chat but, he left the version of platform tools on my pc, as well as his custom apk files and image's (it updated to 8.0 after frp bybass) Anyone interested in the files he left behind on my computer that he download from his server let me know. He used fastboot and adb. Let me know. If you know what your doing, it might help. I can kinda help guide you through the steps on the phone, my girl took a few notes on paper as well. I wanted to get this info out now, but I will come back soon with an updated tutorial. :good:

Where does one receive a second hand Pixel? If it was a hand-me-down couldn't you just ask the user to log in and remove their account from the device? Even if you bought it from a stranger they could have given you their Google password and then immediately changed it after you removed the account yourself. And just for curiosity, how much does a second hand Pixel cost?
it would probably help some people, yes.
If you post them, perhaps try posting them to a few different file sharing places; ie MEGA, rapidshare, etc so they can be shared for a while without being taken down.
Thanks for helping the community.
hey man, im in the same kind of situation and not sure what to do, was gonna use one these guys if i didnt get something sorted soon.
im on pixel 32gb, sailfish 7.1.2 with 5th august 2017 patch, im unable to side load or get past anything with the guides on here or online, either due to bad apks or just wrong instructions, keep hitting brick walls and the guides and videos are little to no help, if u would please share these files, it would be great help , if u cant post a link, could u pm me plz ? thanks a ton!!!

Well, the phone was givin to me by an old boss that could no longer afford to pay my hourly, under the table wage. I'm not sure where he received it from. Second hand cost? Well he owed me 75 bucks for a few hours of unloading & loading box trucks, so $75 bucks I guess...

You're joking right? An old boss.. under the table.. not sure where it came from.. 75 bucks.. come on.. this is a 700 dollar phone. Where did it really come from? You should know before you use it. Otherwise throw it out. It's not worth the bad karma. Just my opinion.

Doesn't matter if you sold the phone. Anything under the table is implied as is. No amount of money is worth your own person security. You should never under any circumstance tell anyone any of your passwords ever for any reason whatsoever
Edit: the right thing to do of course would be to remove accounts before frp or to be on-site when they set up their phone but not everyone even knows about frp and even less of the general public will know how to actually remove accounts

Under the table? What exactly does that mean? Illegal? You either delete your emails and change your pwd or pay the price. Let's not get crazy here. It's just an email password for perhaps 2 minutes to make some money that is "under the table". If you can't stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.
Under any circumstances, ever, whatsoever? Come on.. call me paranoid. Figure out how to do it safely. I'm sure we have the mental capacity to do something like that. Or refund the money.. simple.

No I'm not saying illegal I'm saying any direct transaction from one person to another like anything not done through an actual retailer. And no you really shouldn't be giving out passwords at all for any reason. Having that information for 2 minutes can create a window for someone to figure out your typical password structure or cross reference a fair bit of information that could lead to access to a lot more than what was intended. Again I'm not saying that not properly wiping the device so someone else can use it is okay, but I am saying it is not the responsibility of the seller to give you any passwords or personally identifiable information. It is also the responsibility of the buyer to know and ask about potential frp situations or at least understand the implied "as is" condition when buying really anything directly off of someone else.
You make a good point. Although I still think the seller has the responsibility to sell the device so it can be used by the buyer. That seems to be implied by selling it. Almost like I'm selling you my car but.. well sorry dude .. you can't have the keys. Not my problem but yours since the car is in your driveway.
Well selling a car is kinda different and has actual legal restrictions to prevent that such as title transfers etc
Hi,
We lost a family member to suicide recently. We have had a lot of questions and we feel there are lots of critical answers in the phone. The phone is locked via finger print and passcode. Is there any way to unlock this phone? The family is looking for some closure.

I am sorry for your loss.
In case like this I recommend google or searching XDA really well... grey topic
There are many guide on bypassing these already
I find a lot of software to do this, the problem is i am not sure which one is legit.
You can try to unlock it using the google account used with the phone! Or you can try to contact samsung via email or to go with the phone over a samsung Service Center and i think that they will help you with the problem! Hope that it helps you!

Know what, you could take a copy of the death certificate to the phone company and explain the situation. I'd bet they have a manner to get into the phone, rather easily.
