The app is prime video. I'm not even able to access the login screen, I just automatically am greeted with the "app sign in failure" message. It's the only app I've had an issue with since root. I even installed a couple banking apps to see if they behaved similarly, but there were no issues. I'm running magisk canary with magisk hide enabled. Is this possibly related to being rooted or something entirely different? Google search on this issue didn't produce anything.
Try clearing the cache and data for the app and rerun it.

ok just tried that, didn't work, thanks though.
The prime video app works fine on my pixel 4a running A10 with Magisk (but not hide)
So, try this:
1) Uninstall and reinstall the app - see if that works.
2) Install the regular amazon shopping app and see if you can sign into that - if you can, then the prime video app may just start working because I have noticed in the past that signing into one of the apps will also automatically sign you into the other.

Well this is odd, with the amazon shopping app, when I tap login, it starts forward for a sec then kicks me back every time. I did previously try reinstalling the prime video app. Very bizarre
I actually tried installing it on my 6 year old rooted with xposed note 4 and had no issues, logged in and all.
I would also try clearing the data and cache of the amazon shopping app (if you didn't just install it).
It sounds like you might have a restriction on one or both of the apps, like XprivacyLua or you may need to whitelist these apps to get them to work.

yea, I had just installed the amazon app to test. What is XprivacyLua? Sounds kinda like an xposed module. And how do I whitelist these apps?
If you don't know what Xprivacy is, then you don't have it and it can't be causing this.
Is there any Magisk or Xposed modules you have loaded that could be effecting these amazon apps?

Uhh, I doubt it. I currently have QuickSwitch, Systemless Hosts and Universal Safetynet fix installed in Magisk, that's it.

Thank you very much! I've been trying to disable, change settings, clear caches, uninstall, reinstall, hide, add exceptions etc. until I found this thread. In my case, the trick was to disable both AdGuard and AdAway, then presto, I was able to login in both Amazon Appstore and Amazon Shopping apps (and then re-enable both).
This also allowed me to login in the PayPal app, which was having the same issue of flashing the login screen for a split second before going back to the initial screen. So, triple thanks!

Google think that almost every device running android, is their device. Therefore they implemented a service within Google Play Services that will connect your device often to the Google and it will drain more battery then needed.
NOTE:
I tried a method that was shown on i think this forum or another one. I can't remember which one it was, and i cant find the thread either.
So before i am going to start this, i wanna thank the guy from the original thread for this, even if i dont know where i can find you. I am only sharing this so i take NO CREDITS.
I repeat, i am ONLY sharing this.
+ Works with:
- AOSP roms
- TW roms
- Well, basicly all android running devices :fingers-crossed:
To start with:
- Turn of location settings
- Go to settings, accounts and go to your google account.
+ go to advertisements and untick the toggle that says that Google takes care of your advertisements.
Most important:
- Download Adaway (latest) from HERE.
Thank you @mrRobinson for this awesome app!
- Open adAway and provide Adaway root access.
- Press the menu button and go to your own custom list.
- Now add a line by pressing the + button in the upper right of the screen.
- Add the following line < mtalk.google.com >
- Make sure the the checkmark is ON with the "mtalk.google.com" line.
- Now go back to the homescreen of adAway, apply the patch.
Note: According to the maker of the original thread, this seems to be the server that your device is always trying to communicate with. So by blacklisting this URL, there is no connection anymore.
Note 2: Cyanogenmod (and maybe other AOSP or GE users) are experiencing that the Blue highlighted WI-FI icon and the blue highlighted antenna icon are now GREY after applying this.
This is because you are not connected anymore to the google servers.
Note 3: Keep in mind that you can still manual synchronise your calander, contacts, Gmail, and other Google account related.

This (syncing) only applies for manual updates. Leaving the entry in Adaway will disable auto-updates. Not a viable option for me, am not going to manually refresh Google apps...

Thanks for the heads up.
Thanks for this.
I don't think Ad away works as it should though.
It says its syncing and merging with my current hosts file but after doing that my hosts file goes from 1.4mb to 700kb. So all its doing is deleting stuff. Weird

I always delete GooglePlayServices and never have any problems with apps updating.
I still get notifications in my status bar telling me when there is an app update available in the Play Store and also still get my Gmail notifications in my status bar.
Syncing works perfectly and so does Maps, Google Search, YouTube etc.
I actually can't see ANY reason to have GooglePlayServices installed.
All my Google apps still function perfectly without it.
And I no longer have RAM wasted and battery used up by this annoying app!!
My advice to everyone, delete it, it's not needed at all.

Was pretty euphoric when I read this so immediately disabled Play Services and rebooted like a happy little kid :laugh:
That level of joy didn't last long:
Maps, Calendar, Keep, Youtube, these all need G.P.S. to function properly. Maybe even more apps but this is where I stopped.
Needless to say turned it back on again. This, as well, is not a viable option for me

That's odd, I don't get Google Maps requesting Play services on my device.
I do get one of those notifications after wiping cache and dalvik cache though, I just swipe it away and carry on as normal.
After you swiped them away can you still use the apps requesting it?
For example when I first boot up YouTube after wiping cache it says it needs PlayServices to run but I just ignore and cancel it.
I have never lost any YouTube functionality at all.

This is probably a stupid question but...
I've been trying for the past 3 days to download this app from the Google play store, but it says it's incompatible with my device (Xperia SP).
I've used Market Helper and it didn't work.
I've tried editing my build.prop and it bricked my phone (lol) I recovered it but lost all my contacts
Anyway, I've resorted to sideloading it. The problem is, since I've installed it I'm getting push ad notifications and popups on my home screen, browser etc.
So, is there anything I can download to stop the adware or somehow remove the adware without uninstalling said app?
Thanks

That makes no sense.What do you mean by removing that without uninstalling ? Your statement is self contradictory.
If you are rooted you can freeze that app using Titanium Backup.
Why don't you try AdAway ?

Hi, I mean I want to keep the app but I also want to stop it from putting ads on my phone and notification bar as well.
I just downloaded AdAway and turned off notifications from that app in the settings so hopefully that will work.

You are welcome.AdWare is supposed to block and remove ads and notifications on your phone.If you are still getting ads or the app itself is putting ads and notifications then it's not serving the purpose either it's not working or malfunctioning (broken codes).
Is that an Ad-supported app ?If it is,then that's not an issue.AdAway will block those ads.
What is it? Can I disable them?

If it do not function for anything, at least not consume RAM.
Not the Webview if you use GApps such as Play Store, etc, Facebook yes if unused
Disappointed in Sony for including com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system as uninstallable components. My Z5 came with the Facebook app already installed (Customized DE firmware). I never even ran the app (I don't do facebook) - uninstalled it the second I spotted it but these two processes remain and can only be disabled, not uninstalled.
Feck off Facebook!
I deleted webview once on my old Z1, system became unresponsive.

Tks !!!
I keep a real clean phone. I don't use FB either and have it disabled. But I discovered this file or application and as fast as I would shut down and delete cache and data it would reload itself. This action alone made me suspicious of it and I wanted it off my phone or at the very least disabled. On another forum it was recommended to install "Package Disabler Pro" at a cost of $.99 and I tried it. In the notes and warnings you have to use this carefully least you make the phone unusable but I "disable" these two persistant "Facebook" files and they have not come back. My phone works fine too. Then I went after the damn Sprint/Samsung installed voicemail program that keeps wanting you to upgrade and then it had a persistant flag that kept coming up saying "We had forced upgrades too but this one is necessary". I said no to that too and with this program finally have turned it OFF.
Hope this helps.

To completely disable them ("temporary" uninstallation) use Debloater http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294
or learn how to use the
Code:
pm hide
command
As suggested, i would not disable Android Webview.
Always do a BACKUP of your personal files before disabling system apps : if you are not rooted and disable the wrong package, you'll get in bootloop and will have to reset the phone.

Hello,
My play store keep changing from do not update apps to auto update on wifi.
I have several app that i keep on old version.
How can i block playstore from changing this setting automatically
Thanks for help guys
Playstore is a bloody pain.
Set to auto update to wifi only and disable wifi.
Use ApkExport to copy your apps so you have them.
exactly a real pain... always switching the setting on after set up all stuff.
looking for a solution or a workaround to disable this or disable my apps from auto update

Disable Playstore or Google Play Services (Playstore is dependent on it).
Both constantly running in the background... needed or not.
You will need Google Play Services though for Gmail and other apps occasionally during the day.
Use a firewall to block it.
Use a package disabler.
I use both...
oh thanks will do that on play store. Any good app freezer you recommend ?
For phones other than Samsung this might work:
"Owner App" version from
Home - Package Disabler
The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.
www.packagedisabler.com
Karma Firewall from Playstore

I'm not sure what's causing that. I can package disable Playstore, firewall block it and it's settings are the same after it's enabled again.
If it's data on the phone is getting cleared on reboot that could do it... 3rd party cleaner or power management.
I don't use Playstore much and all my apps/updates are backed up for reload.
In part because you can't get older versions on Playstore (if the app doesn't disappear entirely) and because Playstore downloads are a slow, tedious pain that use up too much time when reloading.
Don't want Google's junk in my face...
I've been using a banking app for the last year downloaded from Aurora. After a routine update it will not open because of an "invalid installation source".
This happened once before but cleared up after a few uninstalls and reinstalls.
I checked my phones Safetynet status using YASNAC and it passed both the Basic Integrity and CTS Profile Match tests.
I've done the uninstalling, installing, restarting, etc, without any sucess.
Any ideas how I can get the app working again?
Isn't this banking app available on Google Play Store?

Uninstall old Aurora Store & then try installing Aurora Store from Aurora Droid or F-Droid. Aurora Store is working for me after I reflashed Android 10 Custom ROM RR yesterday evening.
FYI :
When my device was new like 5 years ago, just for once I installed banking apps directly from playstore and let it finish all the safety checks & droid guard checks it had to , after that its been 5 years now that I've ditched banking apps for net-banking & each time I login to banking apps if the need be, I can use them without a glitch (thanks to magisk hide which is now zygisk) even though I've been using 3 or 4 different Custom ROMS on the same device all these years & even now. I think what the banks check primarily is that the phone number & device ID should be the same as before when it had passed safety check, if its other than that then they get suspicious.

As per Mr.Snowden Gugle does a fabulous job of protecting its users from hackers but who saves its users from Gugle espionage & ad-mob? Thats the reason why many want de-gugled devices and open-source alternatives like Midro-G etc.

Thanks for your advice. I"ve installed the latest Aurora, 4.1.1 but the problem persists - I can install the banking app but when I open it just get a screen saying "invalid installation source".
It's an banking app for the country I live in. In the past I used Aurora Anon log in without problems to use the app. I've now also tried Insecure log in, but still get the "invalid installation source".
I have not logged in to ***gle on my phone but so far have had no problems. This is the only app that won't open, all other Aurora/Fdroid apps are OK.
The Safetynet status check using YASNAC passed both the Basic Integrity and CTS Profile Match tests.
I've uninstalled/ installed/ restarted phone, etc, witthout success.
Is there anything else I could try?

Alternatively, maybe you can try by using Opera Browser either from your device or from a PC/Laptop if banking apps is what you want. I ditched bank apps for the same very reason- dont want Pleysthore on device. I find Opera browser to be fast & secure, only caution is to turn off Opera VPN before logging into bank website because the password will be exposed to opera servers. all banks will have HTTPS Secure Login so no worries there. I find net-banking more complete than bank apps btw.
