Samsung browser problem - Galaxy Tab S2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone
I ve installed manually Samsung browser version 5.0 over my old version but it doesn't run correctly with errors, unexpected closes etc.. Now I want to go back to the right version but I cannot either uninstall it or install the previous one over the new one as it's a system app. I'm not rooted.. Is there a way I can do it or any 5 version that works correctly to anyone to install it?

I don't think version 5 worked for me either.
If you installed it then it should have installed as a user app. You should be able to uninstall it via app manager using the 'uninstall updates' button and revert to the default (system) version.
Have you tried clearing cache and data for the browser app first?
You can always install the play store version.

[Q] Installation of Youtube unsuccessful

Hello All,
I used to be on RoDrIgUeZsTyLe MUIU rom and bunch of other custom roms. Every rom has its ones pros and cons but were not very stable. So, I thought I will go back to stock. So, I flash stock rom and stock recovery and received OTA update and installed the updates. Now my phone is on the below version.
Android Version 2.2.1
Build Number - FRG83D
Market Version - 2.12
Baseband Version - 32.26.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
I was able to successfully download and install many apps but whenever I try to download YouTube I always get "Installation of Youtube unsuccessfull" message. Also, I researched and saw that some people in Europe on Vodafone rom are having this issue. How do I know if my android version is totally stock?
Do you guys have any ideas on how I can successfully install this app without having to root my phone again? I would like to stay stock and unrooted if possible.
Thanks.
use titanium or manually uninstall the current youtube app, reboot then try to install again. Its because its a system app currently. youll probably have to do the same for car home, street view and a few others
I am un rooted, so I won't be able to use titanium. how do I uninstall manually though? I didn't have any issues installing other apps like street view etc.
Make sure the app is installed on your phone, and unmount the SD before updating...

I tried un mounting SD card and installing and still that didn't work. Thanks for trying to help though.
Try uninstalling the old version of YouTube first.

....if you do not have root access how were you flashing an miui rom?
I was getting the exact same thing as you were, all you need to do is remove the old youtube app
good luck
Thanks for the responses. Like I said in my post I was rooted before but un rooted and went to complete stock 2.2.1. I know uninstalling youtube would resolve this issue but I am trying to find a way to uninstall the app without being rooted.

Play Store V3.7.13

Any one in here having issues with this version? This one is making me nuts!
It downloads but does not install apps, it stays stuck at downloading, I have done all possible way to fix but no success. i have cleared chache, uninstall update blah, even went to the extreme of wiping my whole phone starting from scratch thinking it was my damn phone still it does not work.
Anyone having same issues? or know a work around?
When I install old version it updates automatically to the new one....
Yeah i'm having the exact same problem.
Using the official XXKPU firmware btw.
try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1744264
anyway, i have the same problem
I started having the same problem today.
Go to Applications and choose Google Play Store. Clear the App data and uninstall updates (since it's a system app)
Then start the app, let it update and it's working again! (at least that's what did it for me)
I have ics and i have no problems, maybe we must to install ics

yep tried it, works for a while but it still updates automatically
I am thinking already this update should not have been made available for GB.......I might think it's only for ICS devices
Same here.
Solution:
I uninstalled updates (went back to version 3.5.19) and freezed market updater with titanium backup. And it works. :good:

i am also using ics and experincing same problem it could be something to do with google servers becz sometimes i am able to install the apps other times i have to it just keeps on waiting for download
Google or say Goofle messed up big time....they replied back to me saying my phone was rooted!! I mean wtf!!!? they think every android users are noobies and have to buy their arguments.
Freezing market updater with TB works up to now.
Hmmm...looks like freezing and even uninstalling market updater still doesn't stop it from updating.
When't back to market 2.2.7.
Get it from here
Install as normal apk, convert it to system app

I have installed this one: Vending-3.5.19.noupdate.norestrictions-aligned.apk

[SOLVED] [Q] How to downgrade Google Play Services?

My phone is running Google Play services ver 7.xx.
There are some compatibility problems of it with CM12 official. So I need to downgrade it to ver 6.xx.
How can it be done?
Normal apk installation fails.
Installed via adb, adb says success and Google Play services starts FCing. However, on restarting phone and checking Google Play services app info, it is still at ver 7.xx only.
So how to downgrade?
Edit - Uninstalled using Titanium Backup. Install apk via adb. Restart. Done.
Disabling it under Apps and then apply your APK doesn't work?
Good luck on that. I had an LG phone that was incompatible with a newer version. I could install the older version, but no matter what I did, as soon as I connected to the internet for any reason, it would update to the new incompatible version in the background.

Unable to install Samsung System Newer version apps from ApkMirror

Hey guys,
i have Samsung Galaxy Note 8 SM-N950F (INS) (Non-Rooted)
i have seen newer Updates of Samsung system apps like touchwiz, phone, soundalive, gallery, and many more newer version apps in ApkMirror.com but when i download the newer version and try to install. it fails to install. it tells "app did not install"
1) tried the secure setup On and Off and it did not work for me in installing apk (failed)
2) tried OEM unlock and tried Adb debugger enabled and tried installing from Adb terminal pc (failed)
3) tried in safe mode also (failed)
4) tried uninstalling updates and installing newer direct downloaded from apk mirror (failed)
i simply could not install any newer version apps also in this note 8 could some one please find a solution for this as even these Samsung galaxy store and play store has too old versions of apk which i felt the rom is quite slow. if Apkmirror tells "there is no mod done to the apk and signatures are pure Samsung". then why the note 8 is not installing it.
Please dont tell me to root and do the copy paste and permission work (this process i know and i dont want to root my device at any cost)
Please someone find the solution for this problem without Root option its a really need to solve this problem for most of them (including me)
I FOUND TEMP SOLUTION FOR IT

Just wait till an official update comes along! It doesn't take long!

Settings>Lock Screen and Security>Unknown sources turned on? You shouldn't need any of the other things you've tried to sideload an app.
Also interested in this, there is a few updates on Apkmirror that I would love to update to, but I get the error "App not installed"
I usually only get that error if a previous version is installed. Have to uninstall the previous version then install the version you want. Updating an app by trying to install tge newer one often does not work unless updating from the Google or Samsung store.
Just wait for the official update. The one from apk mirror should be extracted from S8 android Oreo beta, hence apps not installed on note 8 (Nougat)
I was just hoping to get feature updates a bit earlier, since my carrier is horrible with updates. No worries though, thanks for the info.

Have you tried to install via adb?
Try going to settings, apps, click on the app you're trying to update, click upper right 3 dots, uninstall updates, then try to installing the new .apk.
This is the same problem as I described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3701934
ADB will not work!
Installing after removing earlier updates won't!
This has nothing to do with the APK source! (and @Bandito: not all apks there are from oreo, lol. they are pure minority...)
Our Problem is a Samsung-wanted security mechanism to prevent manual updates for some Samsung apps, mainly system apps!
On S8 it worked to change device secure startup from one setting to the other, reboot, and then as long as you do not reboot again, you could update these apps with the apks from apk-mirror!
for note8 no such workaround is known, at least not for what I know...

Interesting.. Because I thought it was my "newness" to using apk updater.. I'm glad it's not just me, as I thought that was very odd also.. And like the rest of you all, I see tons of updated app on there that won't install..

I have exactly the same problem here. APK of any Samsung system app refuses to install. However, Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Themes are able to be updated using latest .apk files from www.apkmirror.com, so give it a try! Installing via ADB returns this error:
HTML:
Failed to install app.apk: Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_BY_BUILDTYPE_BY_SECURITY_POLICY]
Searching this error on Google returns no useful results, so this definitely needs more attention. I also do not understand why the "About" section of each Samsung system app claims that "The latest version is already installed" when there is obviously a newer version available.

Hi all,
I had a similar problem. I was wanted to install a newer version of memo app on j510f with android 7.1.1 because after flashing new xsg rom it's missed its bidirectional writing ability (on android 6.0.1 it was starting from left side while typing english and was starting from right side while typing persian or arabic, automatically).
well, my solution:
first, i did what amit.a said in this link:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74589925&postcount=11
I'm not spamming keep reading
after installing it i used app2sd app to convert it to system app. then i restarted the device and finish!
after restarting, if app icon changed to android logo, reinstall it using amit.a's method.
i even installed samsung note with this way, but totally it didn't work on my device and stopped working
at the end, i really appreciate if someone send me the original memo app from j510f with android 6.0.1. hope it work on android 7 as was working on android 6.
Any more progress with this?
