Is it possible to disable Bixby on GW4, i.e. To stop it listening in the background all the time?
Thanks.

I have a crazy question. This is for a very unique use case (long story).
And here's the crazy part -- it needs to work for Android 4.2.2.
I'm trying to figure out how to uninstall apps programmatically without the user having to confirm each uninstall.
The idea is that the user would select from a list of apps they want to uninstall, then click a button when they're ready and all of those apps would uninstall without bothering the user with a confirmation dialog for each app.
Is this possible? I trying to do this in Xamarin, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Wondering why you try to reinvent the wheel, why not simply - for example - use this?
Easy Uninstaller App Uninstall - Apps on Google Play

Thanks,
It's a lot to explain. For one thing, the app needs other features.
It's for a unique use case since these are single-purpose devices.
Am seeing this tab in settings, what apk do I need to debloat to remove this? I've been through my apps list but dont see anything obvious, thanks
I don't have that option. Do you see it Samsung members app?
See grab, no its towards the bottom in Settings menu.
don't have that setting but going via help file it offers to install it via Smart Tutor for Samsung Galaxy app
Thanks, just want to get rid of that tab, any idea how?
do you have that app? uninstall it if yes
Have uninstalled smart tutor but the Remote Support tab remains in settings list. Guess there's no way to get rid of it?
restart the phone?
Still there after restart, was hoping there was an app I could disable etc to remove the heading from settings menu, guess not.
I would be glad to remove it as well, I suddenly got it appearing after the last update on my A52 5G.
Any new idea how to get away with this option in Settings?
A bit late to this post, but the solution is to install the Samsung Tips app which removes the "manual" and "remote support" options inside the Settings app and replaces it with a single "Tips" entry: https://galaxystore.samsung.com/pre...session_id=W_03bb1f02be95e1f7c89bf2450f16277d
You can remove both by having Tips installed and disabling it (not removing it) via "pm disable com.samsung.android.app.tips"

This doesn't work on the S21 latest software, CVDC. It will disable Tips, but the Remote Support option will no longer be removed.

On my S22+, I already have the latest version installed by default and tried to disable it via PDP app, but it tells me that some critical app can't be disabled.
It's a system app which isn't directly labeled remote support. You will have to use an application inspector to view all system apps then have to narrow down which app it is. I had to do this to remove the Samsung Account in settings, bixby vision, bixby page, software update installer & more.
Make sure you make an apk backup of the system app before you uninstall it incase you mess up your phone or make a setting inacessible that you needed. You can restore the apps by reinstalling them from the apk you backed up with a tap or use adb to install the app.
If you happen to find out which package name it is please reply with the name as I am trying to figure out which one it is on my phone as well. I imagine its one of the ones that begin with com.samsung.android good luck on the hunt & don't forget to let everyone know once you find out.
Hi,
my question is if it’s possible to disable some Samsung apps, like Samsung messages, from the setting menu.
Thanks!

I don't believe so but using adb it's really easy to disable apps not just delete them

Not from what I've seen. But you can reorder them to have what you don't want to see at the bottom
Yes, you can disable them via ADB. There is a thread on here somewhere talking about how to do so. I did mine as soon as I got it.

Watch4 ADB Commands - Disable/Enable/Uninstall/Restore system app, Install/pull Apps
Hello Everyone, I hope you all are good, So I see some on you wondering about how to uninstall, reinstall, install, pull, enable and disable apps for the watch, so I decided to make this thread to address these different scenarios, this is based...

Hello friends... I want to delete the basic Samsung applications from the watch such as weather, reminders and many more through the command prompt .. I only want the list of commands
Look here
Be aware that without root you cannot remove them. All you can do is disable them. If you want an easier route, try ADB AppControl. It is Windows based and will allow you to connect to the watch via WiFi and disable any app you want on the watch.

What does mean ADB AppControl? Do you mean the Command Prompt app on Windows?
No, it is a Windows app that allows you to add, remove or hide apps on your watch of phone. It also allows you to do a lot of other functions without having root. You can check it out here:

Thank you my friend..This is great..All the applications have appeared, but I am afraid that deleting some of them may cause a malfunction in the watch..I want to delete applications related to body sensors and sports. I do not use the watch for these things. I use the watch only to know the time..but a watch4 battery only for 4 days only..while the Watch3 was for 14 days..why?

Because wearos eats battery. I do have to ask, if you only need a watch for the time, why did you buy a smartwatch and not a regular one?

wearos watch I can add important applications also create custom watch faces on my own desire
You can disable the apps a few at a time to make sure you have no issues. Once you have the ones disabled that you want disabled, the battery life should get better. Also, Android in general will get better after the first week of use.
I'm looking to transformmy gw4 to close to pixel watch style and want to get rid of any samsung ux apps.
So i would like uninstall/disable any samsung ux apps and services that eat battery for no reason and not break any services (steps, heartrate etc.
Not uninstall but preferably disable (correct me if i'm wrong, but after uninstalling system apps using adb can these be installed again if i want to go back to stock by factory reset?)

No it's absolutely safe to uninstall bloatware as factory image can't be modified without root.
Calling pm uninstall --user 0 [package] should uninstall for current user eg. on a different partition which was setup during device initial setup.
Also it's safe to execute pm delete-dexopt [package] it order to remove files after the app optimization process on first start.
Next week I'll try to create a list of app safe to uninstall.
P.S. Oh, meanwhile could you try to take a look at the installed system apps list
pm list packages -s
@ArletPDR you can try this method though it's from 2021.

I've got a list of system apps installed after the last update. Though it still needs to be verified which app is safe to uninstall

Sounds good to me, its a shame that I can't remove samsung health for all the health tracking functions of the watch to still work properly, it's a huge battery hog and I'd rather use google fit or better yet, and open source tracker, but I guess that's on me for buying a samsung watch, can't wait for it to be rooted

This list still works, it has been updated due to an issue with gps not working when uninstalling sth related to Bixby. I've used this list just two weeks ago and no issue. Even uninstalled more aps then listed. So just give it a try.

I did, and I had no issues with gps, just didn't remove watch faces because I don't think those affect performance at all
