I'm looking at my network connections and noticed Samsung Push Services is constantly connected to Amazon Ireland. I don't have any Amazon apps on my phone. Any ideas why? Is it safe to disable push service?
Amazon offer cloud services so probably its a server. Regardless Amazon app or not.
Samsung push is shealth and everything. Nothing Samsung will sync if you disable
Just get rid of it. That's one of the first things to go for me

What adding new Google Apps account, I getting the message that this account require Google Apps Device Policy to be installed.
I have installed the Google Apps Device Policy. But when I getting to Account selection screen, pressing OK do nothing. It’s not go to next step of setting up the policy and cannot log in.
Anyone solved this issue?

I got google apps account (not premium, standard only) and it works flawlessly. Could you make second check to make sure that you have mobile access enabled?
I thought I would be the only professional user
I'm searching the hole internet for 3 days now to find people with this problem.
I experience exactly the same issue.
It took me about 10 factory resets to find out that it is an sgs2 issue.
Shame on Samsung.
This Phone is useless for professional users with Google Apps account.
To all who need the Google Apps Device Policy-App:
Please contact the Samsung support at least 10 times a day.
Until they understand that this is a killer-bug

This issue affects only business accounts.
After unlocking and rooting my Motorola 3G Xoom I have been unable to log into Amazon Apps Store.
As the other posts suggested I deleted my devices on Amazon, uninstalled and reinstalled the app store, even set up a new Amazon account, but still cannot sign in.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Is there a system file that i can edit?
So after I rooted, I'd like to know what apps are safe to freeze/uninstall? I did the ones that I have memorized and the obvious from my SGS2, but it appears there have been some new ones added to the SGS3.
So far I have removed:
AllShare Controller
AllShare Play
AllShare Service
AT&T Hotspot
AT&T Messages
AT&T Navigator
ChatON
myAT&T
S Suggest
YPmobile
I have all of them are backed up in Titanium back up. So far I haven't missed any of these apps nor have I run in to any problems as a result of removing them.
Those were the stuff I removed already, except for S Suggest. Just now removed that. Thanks. Any idea what TetheringProvision is?
I believe it's part of the AT&T tethering suite of apps. It should be safe to remove so you can install a tethering app of your choice instead. I'd make a back up of it, just in case.

MyAtt and Hotspot are actually good apps. One of them lets you pay your bills or check your account status and the other one kicks in at shopping centers where att has a mobile hot spot, so you could use wifi instead of your phone data.
I signed out of a Google Account after adding another one, and it kept all my paid apps etc. Is there some downfall to this, or is this an easy way to share my apps with my family? Thanks!

I have 4 Google accounts on mine I generally only use 1 for purchasing apps but occasionally accidentally use a different one. You don't 'lose' apps by changing account.
Once you've downloaded an app, it is possible to take the APK and install it on another device. Some apps phone home though and may call you out on this approach!
All apps you get from the play store are linked to the account and devices you were signed into when you got them. Many paid apps check for the linked account when they run out update to prevent you sharing them.
If you have the same account on multiple devices you can share, I do between my phone and my tablet, but my wife for example has her own accounts and own paid apps.
I don't want someone else with my Gmail account on their device. Mine is setup with 2 factor authentication anyway which requires a code which is sent via SMS to me to compete for extra security.
If you use your pc and log into the play store on the web you can see what apps are associated with that account and which devices they were loaded on.

Hi there,
from the moment I got my Priv about for months ago, I deactivated all of the BB apps and Bloatware (like Yahoo Finances) because I just don't need them. Sadly, you can't just uninstall them, so deactivating is the only way.
Just recently I discovered that despite being deactivated, BB Hub still had some permissions (maybe this was changed by the last OS update?) so I revoked them. Now BB Hub (which shouldn't be doing anything since it's deactivated) constantly sits in the notification bar and asks for permissions. I can't even edit or add new contacts without the BB Hub popping up on fullscreen and asking me to grant it permissions. But I don't want to.
Not only is the BB Hub superflous for me - I use Contacts+, don't use the FB app (only in the browser), have only one email-adress (and if I had more, I would integrate them into my gmail inbox) and I surely don't want to have those annoying Whatsapp messages in the same place where my SMS, calls and emails etc are.
I also don't trust BB and don't want to give them access to my contacts, calendar, messages or location. Why does the Hub need location data anyway? And why is the BB Hub so invasive that it even controls the standard Android contacts app?
This is so annoying! I just wish I could root my phone and install CM or any other AOSP-based ROM. But I can't. So the next best thing would be to get rid or at least truly deactivate apps like BB Hub. Does anyone know a way to achieve this?
Would it maybe be possible to get temp-root access and just delete the BB Hub file from the system folder?
Any help would be much appreciated, so thanks in advance!
EDIT: Okay never mind, I've found the culprit! Blackberry Services was active and had permissions. I deactivated it (again) and revoked the permissions and now the annoying pop-up is gone! The OTA update reactivated the BB Services (just as it had reactivated all other pre-installed apps). Guess I overlooked it after the last update.
Maybe some admin can just delete this thread. Or leave it there for others in the future who might encounter the same problem. Whatever's best.
Does your PRIV becomes smoother and less lag after deactivate all of them ? And will they reactivated back after a reboot ? Because my thoughts on Disabling apps, it will run as usual after a reboot.
