So I recently got Samsung GS5 SM-G900H and was using orbot in it. The popup was telling about the com.sec.msc.nts.android.proxy app conflicts with orbot. I almost pulled my hairs searching for that app, and even tried taking help of Internet, to know it's there or not. But the good thing is that the conflict app doesn't exists in s5, but the orbot app still gives the popup and even other websites tell to disable that non-existent app while using orbot on S5.
It's only with the same variant or all models don't have it?
Please politely fix my mistakes if I'm wrong.

Hi there,
I have a question about the Samsung Galaxy S5 which I wonder if anyone else has noticed...
Basically I got a message from Samsung Apps store telling me that I have updates available for some preinstalled/built-in apps. These are:
* S Note
* Optical Reader
* S Translator
* Scrapbook
However here is the interesting part. These applications are not installed on my phone! At least they don't seem like they are. For instance, they are not under the Apps menu and they don't show under Application Manager -> All.
Moreover, if I update Scrapbook then (and only then) the app is shown under the Application Manager. What is even more interesting is that if I click on the application under Application Manager, it then gives me the option to uninstall the application, instead of the option to uninstall updates which is what I really get with built-in apps such as Gmail, S Health, etc.
So if I uninstall Scrapbook after I installed it (agian, the available option is to uninstall the entire app - ot the updates as if it was a built-in app), the app disappears from my phone (as expected), and then it shows back as an available update for a preinstalled/built-in app! How weird is that?!
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Try opening Samsung Apps, then select the option Purchased under Settings. There under Updates I can see the apps available for updates with in fact does not exist in my Android phone. I wonder if anyone else can replicate this issue?
I thought those were all installed previously, maybe I don't remember but it's not such an bad thing. They want you to try their apps to get their experience. It's understandable considering they include their own app store and some apps preinstalled.

I have the same issue. I put it down to Samsung poor wording. It's a little annoying but I can live with it.

Actually they are NOT all installed previously, and the issue is that Samsung Store keeps bugging me to update them when in fact I don't want to install them. So this is not understandable at all...
Same for me, today I disabled auto updates amd notifications in the Samsung app

Hah. in fact it just added two more apps under the "updates" tab. Samsung AllShare Cast Dongle S/W Update and NNL Fingerprint Passport.
VERY ANNOYING But I did what you suggested and disabled the auto updates.
I keep getting this happen to me too.

i wonder if it is because the apks are installed, but not activated at a system level....
i bet you the "bloat" is built into the stock ROM somehow....maybe that's why it is recognizing it as "update" rather than "install"
I find this annoying as well. My phone belongs to the company so I don't want to root it until there's a workaround for knox so I disabled or stopped a lot of Samsung apps. I'm still getting updates for them. I went on their support website and complained. I got a response. (A lame response, but at least a response.) I also complained to the Samsung app store. Complaining here is guaranteed to not make any difference. Complaining to Samsung might eventually make a difference if enough people do it.
I just disabled the Samsung store app since I could care less about Samsung's crummy store and their apps.
Same here - I went through and "updated" all of them before realising that they weren't even installed so I uninstalled them. Some of the apps were ones that were installed as standard on the S4 - so I'm guessing that they're apps that Samsung recommend you install.
Either way, it means that any *real* updates for apps that are only in the Samsung store rather than in Play won't happen now as I've disabled Samsung updates. Well done Samsung.
Hi all,
Back in the day when I still used my Galaxy S2 I had an app that managed permissions by giving me a pop-up whenever an app needed e.g. internet access or location information. I then had the option to allow or deny the request and to remember my choice if I wanted that.
Now that I rooted my Note 3 with towelroot I want to use this app again but I have no idea what it was called. Any of you have an idea? Also, other interesting root Alps aways welcome.
Cheers,
Muscleduck
I'm not sure this is in the right forum, but here goes, anyways.
I can't install Iheartradio and keep it installed!
I have my Verizon S5, and have Samsung Gear app installed, too, since I have my Gear 2 Neo smartwatch.
I can install Iheartradio, and open it. Once it opens, it immediately closes, and I get a message from the Samsung Gear app, saying "Failed to install the app." I check "Unknown Sources" in the Gear app settings, but I still get this.
I even restored to factory settings, and, before Samsung Gear was installed, installed Iheartradio successfully. Once the Gear app installed, iheartradio disappeared, and things were back to normal.

I'm having the same issue. Installed while the battery was dead on my G2neo and it iheart worked. When i charged and booted the watch, later i noticed it uninstalled. Tried reinstalling and i get the same message. It must have something to do with the watch. I wish i could tell iheart to ignore the gear app and watchwhen installing. Mine is a att s5 paired with a gear 2 neo.
Same problem here, but with Note3.
Any luck solving it yet?
This thread is a little old but just wanted to let everyone know we'll have this issue corrected in our next update.

Thanks for that update. I am now having that issue myself. Any idea on when your next update will be releasing?
Can't give a specific date as that can be subject to change, but it is fixed in our latest internal build so it should be in your hands soon.
ive recently got an S7 edge and im in the process of setting it up as i like it... ive had a galaxy alpha for 2 years and ive got the samsung weather app widget installed. the new samsung weather app doesnt appear to have the animated background like the old one. its just transparant and frankly boring lol.
i tried to install the old app on the s7 (its called AccuweatherPhone2014_s_lmr_HD its the same as the S5 weather app too) but of course that would be too easy. it fails and says "the package conflicts with an existing package by the same name".. i cant uninstall the new version and i cant seem to disable it either.
is there a way to install the old app? i figured that changing the packageID might do it. i tried APKeditor pro and also apk cloner. neither seemed to work. but im no expert with APKs.
any suggestions as to what i can do?
You can try to install the package disabler or the package disabler pro version for samsung devices, and then try to unable the package of the new version of accuwither app and then try to install the old one.
If that's not working you can root your phone and then you will be able to do with it almost anything u want.
Or u can flash a custom ROM and download the app you want

didnt want to root the phone as i use the sky app at lot and that doesnt work with rooted phones as far as i know.
in the end i tried a few other weather apps.. one was called weather live and that was really good. i liked it enough that i ended up upgrading quite soon after (for a whole 50p lol) and its just as good, maybe slightly better than the other one.. it even displays information in the AOD which the other app didnt do.
For quite some time now I'm searching for a solution for the following issue, for which so far anything I tried didn't solve it. Hoping someone here has a suggestion on how to resolve it.
Several times per day an unknown app sends an url to open in the Samsung Browser. Each time it's a different website, so blocking the site or domain doesn't work.
I cleaned cache/date, blocked background data for apps, reset everything, used dozens of malware/android security apps - none of these apps found anything suspicious - running AdGuard, tried all Samsung Browser Ad blocker, uninstalled app by app to find the causing one, but nothing solved the issue so far.
What are your thoughts?
Thank you.

Look for an app named "Mobile Installer" or "Mobile Services Manager". They install apps in the background and cause system wide 'pop-up' ads. You can use PD MDM to disable it if you cant through settings.

I looked in PD MDM for such an app but don't have one with or similar to the names you mentioned.
I noticed that the package on your screenshot is a Sprint related app. I'm sorry I didn't mention before, but I have an unlocked device on T-Mobile, without any carrier specific apps.

The unlocked firmware wouldn't have either app anyway. That does make me wonder what's causing the issues. The apps i mentioned are installed by carriers on most android devices. They make money from the ads and when someone opens an app it auto installed. I first discovered it on my S5 with stock firmware. At that time data plans were still limited and it would be downloading 100+mb apps on data even with background data disabled.
