I searched about this but I can not find a solution I want to disable all automatic app updates I only found answer do disable automating updates one by one in the Market app but I want to disable them all for I do not waste traffic when I am on 3G data with Wi-Fi I am OK. Does deactivating auto app sync in background under sync and account config do the trick? Even if it does I prefer the option disable all that I think the Market app once add because I need that some apps communicate with the net.
Thanks in advance
Poke around in settings, I know I have automatic updates disabled but I can' t seem to find the settings. In order for me to update, I have to go in to "My Apps" and manually update them.
This isn't the perfect solution to your quandary, but I don't think there is one...
In the Market app, go to Settings, and under Notifications change it from "Notify me" to "Do not notify me".
This will at least keep Market from checking for updates in the background (if I'm not mistaken), and your apps won't be automatically updated unless you open the Market app (again, if I'm not mistaken).
I seen that option but though that was just for notification purposes but In the computing world intuition is not always respected so I belive that will do the trick.
I will try it and post results
i am puzzled by this, but unless you have some sort of ungodly amount of apps installed you can go through the 'my apps' section and uncheck the update automatically check box and since it is off by default you will never have to do it again
Care to explain a little better are you referring disable automating updates one by one in the Market app as I said in my original post?
Thanks
You could also try Droid Wall and try to disable the Market from using 3G Data, and only use your home internet data or whatever.
In Titanium Backup, you can do this. Hardware menu button>more>market auto updates. This option may only be available in the paid version, I dunno. But Titanium is an awesome app and well worth the money.
I think this is what you're looking for...

Thanks I will try the suggestions my Nexus One is not rooted because I thought that rooting involved format my N1 and reinstall all my data and apps because i confused Andoid roms with root I am going to root using the voiding guarante method

I tried that but in the first day of August in less then a hour I used all my traffic in my 100mb data plan and I was just reading sites with no heavy java or images, called the phone company and they confirmed that was traffic.
"In the Market app, go to Settings, and under Notifications change it from "Notify me" to "Do not notify me" actually I think this only worsened the issue because when i lost all my allowance I did not see any notification of updates happening if I would be notified i would try to cancel the updates as i already did a few times although this option works randomly.
This issue is pertinent and lots of people are experiencing the same

I think I am not rooting anymore because I ordered an Xperia Play and I will sell the Nexus One if everything runs well with the Play
Need some help. I've installed a speedometer app (switch that lights up the console in my truck went bad) and am having trouble getting rid of the icons in the app drawer. So far I've tried to reinstall the app and uninstall it with no luck. It doesn't show up in titanium after uninstalling the app. I can't find an apk after uninstalling the app. Any help?
What app? Can you back into the play store and install it that way?

Sorry. Forgot details. Locked bootloader, rooted running gpe ROM thru safestrap. Digihud speedometer is the app spedo app
I could upgrade nova launcher or use another launcher to hide the problem. And I would go insane knowing I didn't fix it.

Interesting app, it looks cool but it really f'd up my device. I could uninstall it with tibu but it left something behind. Do you have a nandroid you can restore? Do a wipe before restoring the nandroid. That was the only way I got my device back to normal

Hi, developer here
Hi guys, ok this is something I've not seen whilst testing it on the few physical devices I have and in the emulator. I'm not sure what's happening here but obviously I'm keen to help if I can.
The app has two main parts, the full screen display and a windowed view that is shown in front of other apps, the latter runs as a service. Both parts have settings in the manifest to enable them to be launched from icons and two icons are created when the app is installed. Whenever I've uninstalled the app both icons have been removed from the app drawer. My devices are mostly but not all rooted.
Feedback has been mixed about whether two icons are needed; some people don't want the window icon and ask how it can be removed, others like it so they can call it with other apps like AutomateIt. Because the majority of feedback was against it I've removed it from the paid version of the app...but now there are requests to have it again. Hopefully my solution will be to be able to install a shortcut if required.
Sorry, back to your problem! I'm surprised TIBU doesn't remove it if I'm honest, although the Android uninstall should remove it all. There's nothing unusual or malicious in the code (i'm really not that clever!) to prevent it uninstalling.
If a link to a particular version of the .apk helps let me know and I'll post it if I can.
I'll do some more testing and see what I can find and post anything useful here.
Sorry for the hassle.

Would a catlog help in troubleshooting the issue. As JD said it is an interesting app. The HUD display works great (very clever idea there), but I want to be able to remove that icon. I like to keep my app drawer paired down to as few apps as possible and that one icon sticks out to me.

Hello scholar buddies,
Yes google is eating through sewage. The Android System Webview app keeps running even when I have disabled it. It shows in the disabled apps' list, it shows disabled, but the force stop button is active time to time when I check. Yes it still runs back secretly even when disabled. This is a new sewage trick by google. Obviously for phone home stealing. How hungry one can be?
Non rooted xperia. Android 5.1.
What should I do? Any solutions?
Thanks.
Either root and delete it, or stop using that distinct browser.
Also, its not for any kind of theft. It allows your browser to display web functions which would not normally be shown due to programming limitations.

Hello buddy,
Havent rooted the phone yet, because I am waiting for a final update that will feel wholesome. Then I will root.
I have dissabled the Chrome and stock web browser, along with the Android System Webview. Isnt it suppose to keep itself dead when you have disabled it? But it wakes inside the Coffin, isnt it suspected to be definately programmed for some hidden purpose?
How did you disable apps without root?
What does 'pm list packages -d' show?

You can still disable apps through settings even without root, right? I have that option on my Nexus 6 before I rooted.

Possibly; but l guess it's ROM dependant a: if there is a disable button in app settings and b: what said button actually does.
Checking the disabled apps with the pm command listed should at least show if it's been disable via the package manager.

Yes, almost half of the system apps have 'disable' option activated without root. When apps are disabled they are totally non existant. Other apps depending upon them, either crash, or ask to install the particular needed app. No other(non-douchebag) app will pull out any disabled app. After the number one douchebag app 'Google Play services', 'Android System WebView' seems to be the douchescum sidekick.
I disabled many. All the apps obay the disabledness, except Android System WebView. It shows disabled, but poops out from time to time. After a while or the other when I check the app info, there you see the 'force stop' button is active again.

It still could be that the app isn't fully disabled; perhaps the 'disable' just turns of as much services/activities as possible.
Have you checked the pm command? (You can run that in terminal without root...)
U really need to have some clear idea about webview.

DON'T TOUCH IT! DONT DISABLE IT !
Let me explain why?
The WebView is the system organ that manages the application that run internet (except chrome or Firefox )it allows the app to connect with Internet.
So find the application that is culprit try : Gsam

Terminal emulator and enter pm list packages -d to see what package manager sees as being disabled.

Its a Myth.
I already DISABLED it. And all the apps run and connect fine without it.
the purpose of the app is to render webpages for apps that don't have a built-in browser. An example would be google login page, which is web based (likely for security reasons) for when you want to allow an app access to your google account. It doesn't even have its own internet permission. Nor does it have any other hidden abilities. Think of it as an HTML Viewer for modern internet implementations. Definitely not a phone home app and definitely not as douchebaggey as the rest of googles apps. here is screenshots of the apps components http://imgur.com/a/CzW8r

Thank you for the report )
Good wishes for you.
But there is still the question-
Why does it run anyway, even if disabled? Why this bullysh act? If I am disabling important service (according to google bots ) , then stay disabled and give me errors in the system. Why run back?
I know I am going to nail it with root, but still raising the question.
Sounds an awful lot like you are being unreasonably paranoid in a slightly uneducated fashion frankly. I have it disabled on my non-rooted phone and it would take more than a Force Stop button being non-grayed out to worry me. Rather than jumping to conclusions and displaying hysteria symptoms why don't you actually confirm that is or is not running in the running processes.
Logic. It works.

Anyone else having problems with this after upgrading to Nougat? It was working fine before I upgraded, now it says it can't activate because I don't have a license. Except that I paid for it months ago. The developer seems to be absent, not responding to emails or feedback on the Play Store.

The developer needs to implement a license to be able to use
Knox abilities, if you understand what I mean..
generall all apps in main list of Setting > Apps are safe to disable
but in menu there is option for System Apps. don't disable them.

There are 2 different licenses that the developer can use, not you.
https://seap.samsung.com/program-overview
But I now think that it's not a licensing problem, but an update problem. Android N uses a new version of Knox, if that isn't implemented in the app, it won't work.
What's new https://seap.samsung.com/sdk/knox-standard-android
The dev finally replied, and said I need to upgrade to version 7.3 (from 7.0). But that's a completely new app in the Play Store, and Google wants to charge me for it. Hardly seems fair to pay a second time for the app I already paid for once. We'll see what the dev says, but this isn't the first time he's played games with changing the name of the app and putting it in the store as a new program, instead of an upgrade.

I am also using package disabler pro on S7 with N. I got the latest version from the store and it seems to do the job. But what I read from your post, they can just do this magic when they use Knox? Is this correct? Why is this? When you first start the app, you have to agree to KLMS which is part of knox.... Now I see in my running processes that I have Knox running in the background? I am not really sure if I like this. I bought this app to get rid of Samsung things like Knox?!??!
I contacted the developer but he refuses to give me a clear and satisfying answer.

Those apps use the Knox SDK(see Settings->Software Info for the sdk version) . This gives the developer the possibility to use some abilities that normally only system apps have, eg. Disable apps.
What apps need to run in the background to make that possible? I don't know.
Why would you want to get rid of Knox?

This explains a lot!
I wanted to get rid of Knox because I don't need it. Afaik, Knox is a security solution (developed by NSA) designed to create a secure area/container for data etc. It's is not my company phone and that's why I don't need it and want get rid of it.
I looks like I cannot have both, disable knox and the rest of the bloat..
Thank you very much.

Hey Devs,
This is probably a very difficult thing to do in an Android device.
Is there any possible way to hide apps system-wide, like no other application should be able to search the app that's hidden?
My main purpose is to hide an app from the whole phone itself, so that even if somebody tries to search in the settings app, no traces should be found.
Please don't ask me to uninstall the app lol.:silly:
Also, my device is ROOTED :laugh::fingers-crossed:
