Preinstalled apps location

I cannot seem to find some apps within /system/app. For instance, in the application manager there is "T-Mobile My Account" but I cannot find the apk with root explorer. Is there a new method they used to install apps as to not be easily removed? Does anyone know the apk name or location?

Did you check in /data/app? Tmo My Account is in Google Play so maybe its preinstalled as a removable app?

Just use titanium backup to freeze or uninstall them. And, yes I'd say they're hidden.

Yeah, Titanium. But I realized I believe its in /system/priv-app..

Thanks that was the location.
Another issue, whenever the play store is installing or uninstalling an app, the spen double tap to open s memo does not work. I have to have about 15 seconds after google play has finished installing and app before s memo is launched. Anyone know why this is?

Hmm, that might be a new one lol, but I just tried it, letting the store update some apps, and for me the double tap does open memo, but it is delayed by several seconds. Not sure why but maybe it has something to do with the system being mounted or busy or something?

Your issues with Play store, reminds me of 2 x similar incidents, i had with my old Note devices.
Think it was Note 3 and my Note 4. Not sure.
Unfortunately It was a few years back!
eg.
When i tried to download, an apps update etc and
app size was eg 2mb or 5 mb.. etc I struggled to download.Very frustrating!
Eventually after a week or 2, maybe 3.
i was able to pinpoint
the the "suspect"
(Unfortunately i cannot remember clearly ,
but it was either, that i had sideloaded
wrong updated version of Play services apk
(Cleaning Play services cache did not help.)
or it was an Xposed /Xposed model.
(So phone was also rooted)
Anyway ,
i then decided to factory reset and Playstore
was working fine again.
Bottom line is
you can either look for the "suspect"?
causing this.
( I know there was a few threads about similar issues with Playstore, on XDA... way back then ! )
or save yourself from the frustration it's causing?
and try a "clean" Factory reset.!
Good luck

Have you tried cleaing the cache data in the internal storage? That usually helps with this sorta issue.

Tried that not working in either what you said

Is it on wifi or data?
Reset router modem.
Do other apps lag like YouTube or Netflix.
Download speed bad in your area.
Uninstall GP updates and try to reinstall them or apk from web.
Is updating apps through wifi only ?
Clear out all pending updates and restart device.
Do you have another device or friends to see if it's the same problem on theirs too for your region.
Try a different proxy.
Just throwing some ideas around!!

Go into your Google settings and see if you have it to update using wifi only I personally always turn auto updates off.. I had this problem with my Note 8 when I 1st got it. How I fixed it was I went into settings and went to apps and cleared the cache and data on Google play services and playstore and foreclosed them and then went to accounts and removed my Google account and restarted my phone.. when my phone rebooted I went to the playstore and had to login fresh again and that fixed the problem.

I fixed it by factory resetting phone. Thankfully I backed it all up

"Download Manager" is missing? #IssueWithAndroidPie #MotoOnePower

I'm not able to find any "Download Manager" app after the Android 9 Pie. The problem I face is whenever I download something like an image or something using a browser (other than chrome) it does not show the status of the download at all. I also checked whether it disabled or not but No, it's not there either. Please help.

I have a similar problem though.
Whenever I try to download anything using stock download manager, the progress doesn't show up in the notification bar. Even in the Play Store when I try to download anything, no notification is shown.
It downloads in the background only.
HELP PLEASE.
Facing this issue after upgrading to Android Pie.

First of all that isn't a critical issue.
Clear play store and google play services data and reboot. It's related with play services. Eventually it will be enabled suddenly without notifying. ?

For one, you could just install the APK of the older version of Aod. Then you can wipe data and cache of the system Aod. Then install the AOD apk and then use it. As the apk wont be updated. Make sure to reset the aod application by removing all updates.

Did you disable galaxy apps as well?

You can't just download the app and install it .it says app not installed everyone I try to install the v3.2 apk or any version apk for the always on display
So that idea don't work can you tell me what else I need to disable in the bk package app to stop this updating on it's own?

You can't just install the apk .it says app not installed

Go into Galaxy Store, turn off Auto Update apps and then Disable Galaxy Store. Try that.

Play Store downloads/updates stuck at 99%

I'm using a Note9 that's only a month old. The last 2 days, any app updates or new apps I'm trying to download get stuck at 99% (sometimes 100%). Things I've tried so far:
* Resetting the Play Store to default and deleting data/cache
* Wiping the cache of the whole phone
* Disabling the Google app (per suggestions I found elsewhere)
* Uninstalling Nova Launcher (per suggestions)
* Wiping the cache/data of the Download Manager
It's driving me up the wall. No idea what to try. Any advice?

This is the same issues I've been having, especially since updating to Android Pie. Only small fix I found was just closing all apps and run Device Care on a download, then it worked. I don't know if this is an actual fix though.

Are you using any package blockers or anything disabled via adb? If yes one app too many was blocked

I am not.

I've ran into this problem but only when having a unstable Wi-Fi connection. Specifically a bad power supply on the router.
And a lot of business wifi like in hospitals and stuff they have blocking software to keep the employees from watching movies and game of thrones and things like!

So, no one has found a solution to the stuck-at-99% download problem for Google Play Store?

Delete Cache/Data for which apps exactly? Only Google or Google Play Store too?:good:

Only Google.

I'm experiencing this problem as well (Samsung Galaxy Note 10+). This started happening 2 days ago.
Also, another strange thing is happening: The Blue light filter, and Digital Wellbeing grayscale filter, are not starting/stopping at the correct times, they are delayed (sometimes by hours).
The worst part is, my previous phone (Galaxy Note 8) had the exact same issue(s). I endured it for a long time. I was excited to ditch the Note 8 for a phone that worked... Oh well
I generated a debug log, and I'm combing through it now. I don't understand everything I'm looking at.
Here are some attempted fixes, that did _not_ fix the issue on the Note 8:
* Clearing the Google Play store and services caches.
* Removing my Google account, then signing back in.
* Factory reset, then reinstalling everything from scratch. (The issue started happening again, within 1 day.)

Thanks for your response. I just tried this, disabled the Google Play app, then restarted the device. I re-enabled Google Play, unfortunately the issue is not fixed. I'm looking at my 13 pending updates, the first one (Nova Launcher) is stuck at 100%, and is not moving/updating at all.

Thank you very much!
I double-checked that apps were unable to update (Netflix was stuck at "77%"). I disabled the Google app, and restarted the phone. I left Google disabled.
... Netflix took longer to update (it stalled at "77%" again), but it did finish successfully. Now the other apps are downloading and installing! Nice. Hopefully this is a permanent (or at least reproducible) solution to the issue.
Do you know *why* the Google app would be interfering with app updates? I'm genuinely curious.

Did you find out what was causing this issue? I have had to disable my "google" app to allow updates. Are you using a s8 ? We should compare apps to see if something we have in common is causing this issue.

google was at fault. disable or uninstall it..( not google playstore, but plain old google(the search assistant))

Yes i disabled it, but that must be related to another issue. my girlfriend has the same s8 and no issues. Must be related to multiple google accounts or something that differs from my phone to hers.

Perhaps fully off-topic or just the solution, did you disable or remove Chrome? I know my Note 9 shows similar behaviour when I debloat and remove Chrome. Once I updated the WebView app all runs fine. So I always update WebView before anything else. But then again I only notice this behaviour once I remove or disable Chrome browser.
