Beep'nGo App

Since updating my Galaxy S4 to the 4.3 OS, the app “Beaming Service for Beep’nGo” continues to appear as an update in Play Store. The problem is that the ‘parent’ app, “Beep’nGo” is NOT installed on my phone. Does anyone know how to remove it? Tx

Since I use BeepNGo, I don't want to myself, but have you tried freezing it with Titanium Backup?

Where did you find the app? I don't find it in my list of apps & it didn't appear in an ES Explorer search. Haven't tried TB.

You may have to reinstall BeepNGo first in order to properly get rid of it.
Titanium Backup is acknowledged as the best backup app out there and well worth buying the license.
It can do many things - freezing and removing apps being one thing, but you may need the full licensed version to do what you need.
You also need to be rooted.

Well, I installed the app from Play Store then uninstalled using Android Assistant. Then powered off & the Beep’nGo app was no longer there. However, the beaming app was still listed as an update in Play Store!!! I double-checked my backups via MyBackupPro & the parent app had not been backed up in the past. So, I guess I'll just have to live with the stupid beaming utility existing in Play Store forever as I'm not going to root my phone.

That's what you want to freeze/uninstall using Titanium to remove 'Beaming service for 'Beep 'n go'.

Thanks for the tip. Can't use Titanium as I'm not rooted. It has now disappeared anyway.

I have the same problem. Can't get rit of it in the google play list, so can't remove it, and it keeps trying to install with any updating. Realy awfull spam app. Hate it, but can't be removed...****ty google play!!!! Google should make it easier to remove apps from your list!!! Why don't they??

Please give the add-on (link) and the original app (link) a 1-star rating. With enough low ratings, they might reconsider forcing this down our throat. (I have an S5 by the way, same crap)

I got it removed...finaly.
I installed Titanium Backup and deleted it from the backup list. After that it had a "x" in google play and so i could then remove it. FINALY!!.
But still...removing ANYTHING should be made a lot easier by Google in the first place!

Free alternative to TiBu for freezing apps

Found it here on XDA the other day! I didn't really want to pay $7 just for one function. Give it a try, seems to work well for me so far!

Not entirely, some apps can't be disabled. A lot of system apps don't allow disabling and you need need a separate app with root access to freeze them.
Just wanted to share this with others who might have the same opinion about paying for TiBu pro just to get the "Freeze/Defrost apps" option.

If said app has option to disable in settings menu its basically the same. If said app does not allow disable through settings(most system apps do not allow this) then you must use TiBu pro or some other form of that to completely disable or "freeze" it.

Nothing really, carriers just don't want you disabling bloat apps that generate revenue so that option isn't given in the settings menu for most of them. A lot can be disabled through the settings menu but for those that can't be you need an app that can do that same function the OEM doesn't allow by default.

To the extent the app allows disabling through settings, yes, because if the app does not allow disabling by default technically its not the same effect. You need to either rename that app in /system with a .bak extension(as far as I remember that's how its done) or use a separate app to freeze(disable) it.

From what I can see the only difference is a disabled app is shown in Settings-Apps-Disabled, whereas when you "freeze" it, its as if you uninstalled it from the system.

Well if you take OTA while app is either frozen or disabled it works no problem. If you uninstall it it will fail.
Also uninstalling a system app will free up space in ram. Suggesting that is gone. Freezing/disabling will not.
Explain how these are the same.

I think you misunderstood what I meant. When I said "as if it was uninstalled from the system" I only meant that if you browsed the apps in the settings menu said app would not exist anywhere in that menu, but the actual file would still be in /system/app or /system/priv-app, that is why OTAs are not an issue as the system verification sees the files are still there.
"Freezing" will not free up any user storage space since most apps you freeze reside in /system which doesn't count as user space. but it will certainly free up RAM as the frozen application is not allowed to run.

True.
I think we're just arguing different points. I'm saying that freezing and disabling have the same EFFECT. Whereas you're saying they're different in the processes involved. Apples and oranges. We're both right. I answered OPs question simply.....you chose to elaborate.
Therefore I'll discontinue participation in this specific discussion.

Exactly haha, but it does need a little bit of elaboration if one doesn't understand the process of freezing. I'm the OP btw someone else asked the question about disable/freezing.
Anyway, for anyone looking for a free solution to TiBu pros "freeze/defrost" option see link in OP.

This I think is wrong. Every third party system app that I know of can be disabled.All of the Amazon apps can be disabled. Ingress can be disabled. IMDB can be disabled. The evil Caller Name ID can be disabled, as can NFL Mobile. VZ Navigator, I think even Gmail and Google calendar - all can be disabled. I am pretty sure that the only system apps that can't be disabled are critical apps that aren't third party bloatware. Maybe there is one or two, but surely most of them can be disabled.

Root and know

One more question.
I've rooted and disabled know, but I keep getting this message. What's this about?
Also, I get FCs on a lot of apps either after backing out, or after using them a while. I'm completely stock aside from root and adaway

In Titanium Backup look for something that says Verizon and shows that Shield. Select and uninstall. Believe mine was called that, but I don't know why yours wouldn't be the same. You can also in the interim go into your apps on your phone and find that Icon and long hold, App Info, and Turn Off until you find the App to force Uninstall on TiBu

Correct if you want to uninstall them, but you can "disable" bloat from the applications section in the settings to free up memory and to cut down on unnecessary processes without needing root.

I'm not sure how the US carriers will handle this issue, but all of my carrier-specific apps were uninstallable on my Korean Note 4. Samsung and Google services have been hit-or-miss. But then again, there was specific legislation passed here on this very subject last year.

Like that stupid flip board app.

Sprint has been pretty good about being able to straight uninstall all those useless programs they load once you activate. The rest has to be root uninstalled to remove. I've been using Samsung devices for awhile and most have to be rooted to remove their extra features.
Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk

Can't you just disable them? They'll still take up space but they won't run.

uninstalling some of the applications, especially from google or samsung could break other things seemingly unrelated, so much better way is to freeze them, but you need root. greenify has some option to stop apps from starting on boot up, not 100% sure, but I think it works even without root.

greenify is limited without root, but it is a start.

Does anyone know when the ATT note 3 was able to root?

[mod] MLT service disabling

A few weeks ago i was checking my running processes and i noticed a service called mlt was running, after a little googling i found that this appears to be a sort of lg spyware that looks for keywords been searched (suicide, types of porn etc) i found you can disable this in the hidden menu - mlt test - disable after reboot. I found that with this disabled i had more free ram and less lags, so just thought id share this info as not seen it mentioned on here, feel free to say thanks if this helps anyone ?

Vzw G3 here, unable to get into a hidden menu that has this setting. Tried both the LG and program985 menus with no luck. No apps with 'mlt' listed in TiBu. Maybe vzw excluded this apk from their ROM?
