Question S22 Ultra Beta - Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra

I opted in for the beta over the weekend and after consideration I decided not to update it since it is my daily. I unrolled from the beta, but can't seem to get the ota update to go away. Anyway how I can remove this? The update is downloaded and is asking me to install.

Try disabling these 2 apps.
That should kill. The com.ws.dm is probably the only one that needs disabled but better safe than updated

Tried that using alliance x. Gave me an error. If I can find a way to force stop then kill it I think the OTA update will disappear. I also went into apps and located the system update app and cleared data and cache.

Adb edit it. Someone said that clearing the system cache would purge the download however another member said this wasn't true.
That ws app might as well be a rootkit the way it behaves, very invasive with every permission under the sun. It's the first app I disable.

Surefire solution: backup, factory reset, restore. Problem solved.

A no go on the clear system cache. Will try and disable it through adb then re enable it.

Fixed it. Had to do it through alliance x. All I had to do was go to the app in alliance swipe over to actions then wipe app data. Thanks for the help!

Remove and re-add your Google account?

I have the same problem.
/Dons flame suit
I tried to improve on battery life by converting both Google Play services and Google Play store to user apps with the intention to Greenify them (Don't ask ... I just wanted to try something). From the moment I did that, I got the message "Unfortunately, Google Play Store has stopped". I converted it back to system apps, but this did not solve the issue. Since then I tried a lot of things:
1. Install Google Play Services 4.5.10 fresh
2. Wipe cache and dalvik cache
3. Clearing their cache individually
4. Wipe data
5. Wipe data, force stop
6. Retrieve both from a previous nandroid backup
7. Restore previous nandroid backup

I am at the point now where I can browse the play store without getting the message, but when I:
1. Try to update apps (from device)
2. Install a new app (from device)
3. Install app from Google Play Store on PC/laptop
... I get the stupid message again.
Bottom line, I messed up and would like to get full functionality back.
Please assist
EDIT:
I also downloaded and tried to install the following two APKs
com.google.android.gms-4.1.31(965943-30).apk
PrebuiltGmsCore.apk
...but it does not install
Bump
Just clean flash the rom and gapps again. Or wipe and reinstall stock. Whatever your using.

[Q] Google Play Store not auto-updating apps

I've tried a full factory resets and changed all the app settings, clearing data and cache but i cant get apps pushed to me automatically. I'm stock on 4.4.2. Anyone else experiencing this? I also tried to wipe cache in Recovery Mode but still no love.
I have the same issue after update to 4.4.2...... I did a factory reset and the apps doesn't update automatically
Did you both cleaned the Google Services Framework prior to the update to KitKat 4.4.2.?
i cleared google services framework now and then did a factory reset to 4.4.2. i originally sideloaded 4.4.1 then did the same small update to 4.4.2 through adb rather than wait for the update to be pushed so i'm wondering if that was the problem. i will get an app pushed to me if i uninstall updates to the google play store app but then it stops for some reason once it goes back to 4.5.10.
Sorry, for being not clear, but cleaning the Google Services Framework shouldn't be done.
It was more a question whether you did this before.
Anything else you did before that?
Mine only update after the phone reboots or I do it manually.

It's been like this for me too the past week or so. Came off a couple clean ROM flashes so I shouldn't have any corrupted data preventing the service from working correctly.

Oh no when I did the original sideload of 4.4.1 I didn't do anything/make any changes etc. prior to updating. I later updated the same way to 4.4.2. I never really noticed the auto updates stopped. I can get them to auto download if I uninstall updates to the Google play store app but they seem to stop again when 4.5.10 is again updated.
Wanted to double check but do you have auto-update apps checked? Do you have it auto-update on wi-fi only checked?
I've the same problem. I'm on stock ROM rooted. With multirom I flashed omnirom and carbon. Normally all of my apps and WiFi networks/ passwords are restored automatically (with my old HTC desire HD always worked). But now with Nexus 5 and android 4.4.2, nothing happened

do you have it enabled in the phone main settings, backup and reset and in the play store settings?

Complete uninstall system app or Install app with conflicting package

Hey guys, excuse my ignorance before I begin.
I am trying to install a modded Spotify apk on my Samsung GS7 Nougat [Rooted]. Spotify already comes pre-installed as a system app on my phone so installation fails due to "conflicting package".
Is there a way to complete uninstall a system app? I've tried titanium backup but it simply disables it, giving me the same installation error.
Alternatively is there a foolproof way of install the modded apk side by side with the "disabled" system app?

I'm afraid that selection literally does not exist in my options. Is it possible it disappeared after root or something? I'm running 7.0 G930W8VLU2BQG4

Yea that's possible, maybe a security thing, certain KNOX related apps won't run once you've rooted and tripped knox either
EDIT - It seems without encryption you can not use secure startup, you must have wiped and removed encryption

Or add Spotify to a debloat script and flash from TWRP

So I tried system app uninstaller earlier and it failed on all the apps, but it actually seemed to work this time. I finally managed to uninstall it and install the modded apk. Thank you very much for your help!
Great :good:

Pokemon Go no longer working after Android 8.0 Oreo OTA Firmware update

Hello,
I hope someone here is able to help me with this as I've searched Google for days now and haven't found anything that works. I have the S8+ (SM-G955W) and have been playing Pokemon Go since its release. After I received , downloaded and installed Android 8.0 update OTA however, this game no longer allows me to play it. When I open the game, I receive an error message "This device, OS, or software is not compatible with Pokemon Go". It worked perfectly before the Oreo update. This phone has never been modified in any way before; never rooted and uses stock firmware. It passes SafetyNet check with no problems.
Troubleshooting attempted:
I tried lowering my phone's resolution which allowed me to sign in successfully twice, but then the error persisted.
I uninstalled and re-installed the app countless times along with full reboots.
I attempted installing the game from the .apk file from apkmirrors however this does not fix the issue.
App is fully up to date, as is firmware.
It's strange because, as far as I can tell, many users play the game successfully on the S8+ as well as on Android 8.0. I can sign in successfully maybe once (if I'm lucky) after a fresh installation from the apk, but then after about 10 minutes, the app closes itself (App has to close error) then it gives me the Compatibility error once again following that. Please let me know what I can do, I am out of ideas.
Thank you

Hmm...well if that's what it takes, I'll do it. Could you tell me what the best method is to make a backup before I perform the factory reset? Preferably a method that backs up everything (including setting customization, all applications and their save data, etc. if possible)?
Uninstall old apps such as Xposed installer

hello
the only way I found is factory reset
if I restore smart switch backup, pokemon go fail again
just bought an S9 plus and pokemon go does not work on it. Says OS not supported.
Same here. It's start and after 30 sec kicking out... with that message using magisk
Update?
Any updates on this if the wipe actually fixes it permanently or temporarily? I have a SM-G955U1 directly from Samsung, unlocked but software built for Verizon from Samsung.
Hi vgplayer54,
I had the same problem with an Asus Zenfone2 with Android 5.0, This week I have changed my mobile phone to the new One Plus 6 and I'm still having the same issues. Did you solve the problem?
Thx
I found that the issue was app permissions were disabled for storage. Once enabled the app opens and functions correctly.
Apps -> Pokemon Go -> Permissions -> Storage ( if disabled enable)
Permissions for Camera, Contacts, Location, and Storage should all be enabled.

Reset didn't work I uninstalled the app reset the phone reinstalled the app made sure it had all of its permissions but mo it failed some error message.

Did you install it?
Make a copy via ApkExport
Scan with online Virustotal. Decide.
If you uninstall it and that doesn't work, factory reset.
i don't know if i installed it. till i know as installation was done on the date i mentioned, at that time pendamic was active. i was not working anymore on that time so as i know about that time i din't installed it but just a hours ago i notice this app in my installed app note as system apps.

It looks like a rooting app.
I'm not familiar with that device manufacturer or app. However it looks like a high risk apk to me especially if you're not rooted and can't recall downloading it. It's probably capable of causing a lot of damage.
If running on Android 9 or higher, a factory reset should purge any root kits if present. If you do a factory reset, set a new Google account password (make sure you write it down correctly) after the factory reset. Change any other critical passwords.

Do a scan with Malwarebytes afterwards.
Keep an eye on your download folder and make sure install unknown sources is always disabled unless you need to use it to sideload.
Be careful what you install...
