Did you check in system/app? If it's not there it is probably named something different. You can use Titanium Backup to find PEN.UP then press on it and it will tell you the actual name and where to find it.

I do not know the actual app name. I have not used titanium backup so I did not know its capabilities.
I think TB found it.

But I don't think it's on my list of apps and I never installed it. I don't see it as in the list of built in apps as well.

Thank you. I found that htcgreader app but I don't want to delete it for now since I think I know what app was triggering it. it was the stock News app. so for now I am using a different News app from Market place.

I'm afraid it will not install if you`re running a custom rom, since it`s an Acer`s stock rom system app...
so no other way?
Only chposing a rom that already have clearfi?
If yes; tx for ur help

I am not sure, I can be wrong, but I suppose so...
Not sure if it could be solved editing the build.prop file...
I'm on Thor and it shows up in the market..

Most problems on custom rom is that if they delete the clearfi app they also delete the permission.
System/etc/permission, there should be a clearfi. XML file.
If that file is missing clearfi won't work, solution is restoring that file and then putting the clearfi app in system/app and reboot.
Can some one upload his please? Becuase i was removing some bloatware and i accidentaly lost it.
Thanks !

I'm not sure but trying to reveal...
- Its package name is com.sec.android.band
- According to its file name and package name, its job is related to band (baseband).
- Its apk file does exist in the /system/app folder, but it has NOT been installed.

I think the answer should be Yes Once an app has not been installed, it can not be used.
But that is what I have tested on my Galaxy Note 3. On your S5 it may be different. You can check by yourself:
- Install Shortcut Master app.
- Open app > Menu > Search... > enter 'band' and tap Search button to see it it yields any result.
- If you see some thing like 'com.sec.android.band' so it has been installed. Otherwise it has not been installed.
You can also tap on its apk to install it.
Great information. Good to know for future removals. I've already removed it

Hello
I want to uninstall and remove and spotify app which came pre-installed with the phone. I am using S8 on Rogers network in Canada. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Have you tried disabling the apps you don't need? If you haven't, then long press on the shortcut and pick "app info". There you will find disable button(if not grayed out). That is the easiest way off turning off the app which won't show in your apps anymore, but it won't uninstall it.

Thanks for the tip.
However, I have my own apk and wouldn't install saying the system already have file with same name. I can disable but it will not solve my problem. Any work around or ways to remove the preinstalled spotify files?

I have not tried it personally, but check this tread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 There could also be other methods/apps that would help.
Try clearing app data than uninstall updates, this can be found in settings/apps.

Unfortunately, there is no app data visible/available for spotify so, cannot delete anything. Also how can you uninstall updates?

Go to apps then click Spotify then click storage then clear data and cache.
If you want to remove the pre installed version you need to be rooted to remove system apps.
The all you have will be the same as the one pre installed. You can always download an updated version.

Still, it doesn't work. I have my own spotify apk which conflicts with the pre-installed one because of same name.

Not if its a hacked version of Spotify.
I see no reason why someone would disable the included Spotify app to load "their own version"
The included app can be updated right from the google play store, so there is no reason someone should be uninstalling it to install a .apk version.
I am on a Rogers S8, so I know this is true.

Not without root. But like I said your version will be the same as the one installed.

Change your csc to xac https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71525525&postcount=1413 this will wipe your phone but get rid of all rogers bloat.

Thanks for the link to the forum post.
But the problem is - after doing this, the phone restarts and erase everything again and installs all the carrier apps. Is there anyway this can be stopped?
Thanks a lot.
Pull your sim card out and change it to xac.

Will it be different or remain the same when I put the sim back in? My experience is the sim erases everything and install all the carrier apps again.

Check out this XDA article. It details instructions to remove apps/packages without root, using ADB. Be super careful doing this or using a package disabler app Like BK Package Disabler or Adhell (which is free)...if you disable the wrong system package you may end up disabling important functions/features.
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
What you can do is only disable it. That's what I'm doing with texture also and zone. Don't flash XAC if you are still a Rogers user you will loose wificall and Volte.
Only time you can remove it completely is to root. (Not available)
Or flash the XAC but modify the feature file in XAC to add the lines to enable wifi call and Volte. And again not possible cause there is no root yet.
So it takes you back to the 1rst and only option and don't try any even when they claim it uninstall without root(it does not work with Samsung phones )
Just disable it "I think you know how hold the app icon and you see a popup to disable"
If you rebooted the phone , app will not show to show it back enable it again .
When any app is disabled you can't download the app it will tell you it's available unless if it's a higher version.
So if for some reason you want to have a clone " exemple disable original Spotify to download a cracked ) use apk unpacker and change the signature name on the cracked apk.

I'm using apk editor Pro.
Here is a screen cap for the original and the modified that I did . And the both on the home page.
So package name change it.
Change the version as well
