Hey just a heads up.. did anyone look to see that they got the Google Play Services automatically download and run on their phones.. Also check out what this app has access to. pretty much has total control of your phone. And the best part if you force stop or uninstall, it just shows up again, TIBU can not even freeze it, even thou it shows it has frozen the app, it is still running, if you force stop it , it just starts right back up again.
Nevermind all of the google crap uses the same authorizations.
mods please delete
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.
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!
after trying lollipop for a few weeks i came to the conclusion i was better with kitkat so i went back.
the update to 5.0.1 is always there so i google how to hide it, installed disable service from googleplay and in google services framework i disabled systemupdateservice.
i still have the notification to update, what shall i do?
regards
Using only Disable Service will cause a wakelock. Download Autostarts and disable anything that has "systemupdateservice" in the name. Use the search function. Also, if the update is already downloaded then delete it from /cache. The notification should clear when you reboot.

That just shuts off the notification, the update is still there. If that works for you though, there's nothing wrong with it.

Happy New Year everyone!
So I have a P40 pro with GMS installed since ver.121 but currently on EMUI 11 (.151).
After the EMUI11 the phone started acting a bit weird, so I suppose that something is not right with GMS.
Currently having gsf frozen and I am getting notifications normally ( I only unfreeze every now and then to update apps in playstore), but my BIG problem now is that google maps has stopped working as it should; whenever I input an address and press Start to commence navigation, it goes to the navigation screen and immediately goes back to route overview. This only happens in Gmaps, Waze works normally, however I am using google maps every day so i need that fixed. Tried to wipe cache but no dice.
If GSF is not frozen, whenever I try to open Gmaps it goes to its homescreen for a split second and then crashes.
My main question is, is there any way to try and "fix" GMS by doing only some of the steps in current methods, without having to start from scratch and factory reset my phone? I really cannot go this path again and considering that the above problem aside, it looks like the phone is still usable (google account in place), so are there any safe steps to follow without messing up GMS more than what it is? Could I follow let's say the last 2-3 steps of the guides out there, i.e. clearing cache and uninstalling/installing play services and gsf (without downgrading)??
Is downgrade a must only to enter your google account, or also for doing all the steps?
TIA,
Thanos

im on emui 11, i already had googlifyer installed pre the upgrade and that worked for me to fix the play protect messages - but he also mentions the google maps crash issue.
It does not let me install the play services apks of the link. Although I have play services uninstalled from the phone, i am getting "installation failed" and reason for failure "you already have a newer version of this app", but I dont have the app installed at the moment.
OK, so that's weird. I noticed that when I was getting the notifications suddenly I could see two play services apks the second one having the second SIM icon on the corner. So I uninstalled this one as well and it let me install the apk. Everything went OK, maps and playstore work BUT I keep getting the play not certified error in notifications bar for the second SIM play services, so for now I just silenced the notification.
Any way how to solve this? Never noticed before that I could get playstore error with a sim no.2 icon and the most weird thing is that now there is only one play services app in apps list, but sporadically I was seeing a second one, hence why it was not letting me install an older version, because even tho I uninstalled the normal one, a second one (same ver) was also somewhere hidden.

That could mean you have microg on or fake store services?

If you get the playstore error you have to repeat the fix process on the maps link, I had to do it a few times to fix it.
The other thing which fixes it is icebox freezing gsf but then maps doesn't work so good as it does access location well.
It seems a choice between notifications and no maps or maps and no notifications...
Uninstall and install Maps few times ... if Maps (last version) continues with errors, try version 10.49.3.

Is that for the crashing issue or the location issue?
When I had any problems with Maps (on P40 pro or Mate40 pro), crash or location, I used 10.49.3.
Later I tried the latest version a few times, until it worked (on both phones).

Initially I installed Gms with the method available back in September, no micro G involved. After that, I was just freezing gsf with multitool 8 via PC whenever I wanted to unfreeze them to update apps in playstore (I cannot stand aurora store, way too slow and too many clicks, I preferred to unfreeze gsf, reboot, update all apps and freeze with multitool).
Maps with frozen gsf were working just fine on me, even without Google location accuracy the GPS fix was immediate.

As described earlier, I was getting the play certified error by a play services app having a SIM 2 icon, similar to the bottom whatsapp app attached, however after I silenced the notification I only see one play services app in my app list and if I go to notifications settings the play services availability notifications are on, so it is like there is a duplicable play services app hidden somehow.
OK, there we go again.. A few minutes ago play services was updating in notification bar and after that I got attached notification for playstore with sim 2 blue icon (again.. ). When I clicked on the notification it got me to a playstore with sim 2 icon, but when I go to home screen and then go to app list there is no such thing as a sim 2 playstore.
Any ideas? What is going on, I have no idea..

Nope, right now gsf is not frozen, I was just keeping it this way to test the errors and functionality before freezing it
What's with the sim icons in Google apps though? Never seen them before until now
I haven't found a way to remove the play protect errors without freezing gsf unfortunately, I'm sure it can be done but it caused me loads of hassle and I ran through the process a ton of times but only a few times did I manged to have it working with no play errors. I think you have to strip it back clean everything out and start fresh but uninstall icebox too... My config is now with gsf frozen and bar the app store everything is working...

I don't have icebox installed. The method I am using to freeze gsf is multitool 8 in Windows.
FOR the time being there are no play protect errors, but will see till tmrw..
