Afternoon Guys,
I've recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 to replace my old Nexus 5. The lollipop update for the Nexus 5 crippled my phone and I needed a new one. Now moving on...once I've gone through the setup and downloaded all my apps. I then began to add my email accounts. After I added my Microsoft Exchange email for my company, the device then encrypts itselfs and I reboot the phone. After that process is done all the apps I previously downloaded are now disable. But here's the kicker i cannot see the disable apps in the application manager under the Disabled Apps Tab. I can see the apps that i manually disabled. The reason why I can see them is that when i go back to re-download them from the app store they appear as disable there. THere is an enable button but whenever I push to enabled button the app will stay as disabled. The only way that I got around this was to uninstall the app and then install it again. Now I don't want to constantly re-enable all my apps again. So guys I wanted to know a few things:
1. Has anyone else ran into this issue ?
2. Is there an app manager within the play store that displays all apps. disable and enabled ? I've haven't found anything yet.
3. This same issue happens when I go into ultra power saving mode.
P.S.
My phone is not rooted and I am familiar with the process. But I would rather leave my phone as is. Your feedback is much appreciated !
Here is an example of what I'm talking about.
Hey everyone. Just signed up so hopefully this is the right sub-forum for this question.
Amazing forum by the way. I've been visiting here frequently since getting my Z3 Compact and you guys have been a massive help so far. You've really helped to improve the functionality of my device and streamline the software so thank you. Now on to the question I want to ask. I recently installed Wondershare Mobile Go. The application was a huge help in removing certain apps (basically all the bloatware that Sony's stock Android firmware comes with). In addition to that I used the disable trick to disable most of the apps thus hiding them from the app drawer. As a result my phone is almost complete in terms of getting it to the point where I want it (only the apps I want to use; everything else rendered either disabled, hidden or uninstalled).
I recently however hit a roadblock. The apps I'm having trouble with are predominantly What's New, Google Settings and also an app called Downloads. I can't seem to uninstall or disable those apps. They're the only three remaining that I want removed or hidden from the app drawer. Now I've already researched this on the XDA forums and have already tried the ADB trick. I tried that last night and it made no difference. I used the Hide command (as I'm running Android 5.0.2) and it had no effect. I must have rebooted my phone four or five times running the commands each time and What's New just would not shift. I know the fastest and easiest way around this is to just root my phone and manually uninstall the software but I only just got my Z3 Compact and I really don't want to void the warranty.
Is there an easy mechanism in which to hide, disable or uninstall the three aforementioned apps? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi guys,
I have some experience with rioting Samsung devices and othet devices as well, however recently sported on the page claiming the one click root for Note 5.
Currently I own this device and wanted to uninstall lots of bloatware pre-installed in Note 5, therefore decided to root my device.
I need advice from you whether this one click root will work or is it just a virus or something like that?
Unfortunately I am unable to poste the link, bu if you google it, it will appear ons top
There is no "one click root" for any of the newer Samsung flagship devices. Also, uninstalling bloatware won't get you anything more than just disabling it.
I have used Disabler pro, which does not require rooting, but after disabling software, they still run in the background and use RAM.
That is why I need to uninstall them.
Is there any efficcient way to root Note 5, Without installing Custom kernel??
something is wrong if a disabled app can still be ran. usually, you can't even open a disabled app, your self.

Samsung not allowing logging into Samsung account on rooted phones
The exact same thing is happening to me after the last firmware update. On the old firmware, it was possible to log into one's SAMSUNG account to re-download previously purchased items from the Galaxy Store. Since the July 1st, 2019 security patch, SPAMDUNG have elevated their harassment of rooted customers to a new level:
Every time one tries to enter the user credentials (e-mail address and password for the Samsung account), the phone goes to the Legal Information page with the terms and conditions. After accepting them, a field at the bottom pops up, asking whether one would like to use biometrics for identification. No matter whether one chooses «not now» or «register», a black square appears between the two possible answers to the biometrics question, informing the user that «processing failed». Sometimes, the following error message is shown in the white field at the bottom of the screen ...
Account
Unknown error
(DataNull0/A300103)... before being taken back to the account settings with the field for the Samsung account's e-mail address and password. From there, one could play the scenario over and over again ad infinitum, but without any hope of ever getting out of this «login loop».
To make matters worse, as soon as one enters one's e-mail address in an attempt to log in, the Samsung Experience Service sends the following notification in 15 min. to 1 hour intervals, and they cannot be turned off in the configuration settings:
Samsung account
To continue using services securely, sign in again.When trying to «Continue with Google»:
To continue, sign in to your Samsung account again.The suggestions that one can find on the Internet to at least get rid of the nerve-killing notification messages are:
Settings | Developer Options | Running Services
Samsung Experience | Notification Listener | Settings | Notification Access
Samsung Experience => turn this off!!
Settings | Apps | ⁞ (upper right corner) | Show System Apps | Samsung Account => turn off Notific., uninstall updates
Navigate to http://findMyMobile.Samsung.com. Login, accept the terms & conditions, reboot the phone, voilà.
None of them work.
To disable SPAMDUNG Galaxy Apps notifications:
Open the Samsung folder and the Galaxy Apps therein.
Tap the ⁞ menu (three vertical dots to access more options) in the upper right corner.
Tap «Settings», then «Notifications» and slide the button to «off».
Samsung's notifications should now no longer bother you, but that does not solve the underlying problem.
This leads to the questions:
How to overcome the impertinence that SPAMDUNG harass their customers with and log into one's SPAMDUNG account on a rooted phone?
Alternatively, how to back up the purchased fonts, themes, etc., that were acquired from the Galaxy Store from an unrooted phone to an external SD card or Windows PC, in order to re-install them to the rooted phone later?
Thank you for any pointers to solutions that allow to update rooted phones every month, in a manner that preserves the software one has paid for as well as the configuration settings, apps, their data and so on.

Thank you for your post. I've been evaluating if I want a Samsung Account. I am not rooted, but I am using the US UNLOCKED U1 firmware. I have it locked on Oreo so my line-of-business software can work, and blocked the play store security policy malware and auto-updates from there so I can use my phone productive. There are few carrots for me to want a Samsung account:
1. Samsung Pay
2. A few nice apps.
However, if sign up for a Samsung account, will I be required to update to their latest crippling firmware/malware, and the latest play store security policy malware? I can't afford to be forced into cow Pie and the latest play store security policy malware.
Thanks!

I salute you for being still on Oreo as me yes, you can download updates and everything from play store and also from Galaxy store without needing any firmware update or going to Pie Oreo forever!

1. Do you use Samsung Pay?
2. I do manual updates of specific apps from the play store because call recording apps that uses the call logs to document call recordings using the phone number and contact name no longer work thus destroying its functionality. They not only destroy their ability going forward, they also destroy the history. This was caused by the play store updates, which they force on developers. Thus, you must download previous versions from apkpure.com etc., or have a backup copy, which is what I have. The other side I need to protect myself from is their "Security Policy Updates"/play store malware, that freezes app my older call recording apps. Thus, play store automatic updates and their "Security Policy Upates" make the play store less honorable that those who write ransomware because at least with them you can pay to get your data back while you cannot do with the play store.
3. You can record calls on Pie, but with any version of Pie, the call recording quality is terrible while the same phone flashed to Oreo is crystal clear.
4. Android 10/Q/Quicksand or whatever update stops call recording altogether so now the only ones with recordings of your phone calls, call logs, texts, and contact lists, are your phone manufacturer, wireless carrier, Google, the NSA, and anyone who will pay a nickle to have access to them, as long as they aren't the same people who participated in the conversations. Another "feature" of the Android 10/Q/Quicksand update is it kills Android Beam for exchanging data. However, in exchange for killing these capabilities they give you "long-awaited system-wide dark mode", which you could make happen on even Note 3s and 4s until they took it away, to where you needed 3rd party app, and now you don't need a 3rd party app because they are giving it back as a new feature.
5. A Note 9 frozen to Oreo with blocked "Security Policy Updates" is worth far more than a Note 10+ and beyond will ever be. You want to do frequent backups with matching pre-2019 APK and Windows versions of backup software such as SmartSwitch, and another backup software in case you want to switch to another brand phone later. That way if they slip in some of their ransomware 2.0 or other malware, you can re-flash and restore your phone to full functionality.
The way someone can determine if they have a diseased version of Oreo is to download the call recording app, "Automatic Call Recorder" by Appliqato from APKPure that is version v5.43.11 or older. If Oreo allows you to install it, make a call to and from your phone from a contact in your contacts list. If the app doesn't freeze, go into the call recorder and check your recordings. If you do not see the name of the person you called or who called you, then you have the disease and need to re-flash Oreo. See Restore Call Recording to your Note 9 SM-N960U and SM-N960U1 to stay safe from malware authored authored by the carrier and play store. Simply because they are incorporated or are a government-run clandestine operation doesn't make them honorable. The same can be said for Mafia's businesses and the government of Democratic People's Republic of Korea, which is neither democratic nor belongs to the people. In the US, the Edward Snowden revelations, FISA court violations, and deep-state investigations, leaks, social media "oppsies" prove that you need to do your own due-diligence because with regard to security because you are the product being bought and sold like a pack of cigarettes to fund Google, Android, IOS, apps, agendas, etc.
From what I know once you have rooted your Samsung device. You will not be able to connect to any Samsung services via that device.

So you're saying that it is possible to use and login to samsung account on a rooted device ??? My backups are there and I can't restore my phone because of that. Is there a way to do it. ???
Just try deleting all the cache and data on all the Samsung apps I used *link2sd* then rebooted worked for me ?*
hello with the new way of these phones andriod and others plus spyware .im wondering how do i know what apps samsung etc are spying on my phone maybe uploading my numbers and other infor without me knowing any of you guys got any idea whats the best way to stop it. tbh i hate even google assist even turning on by itself even when i diable it
Hello, first of all, please write in easily readable sentences, that way more people are going to help you.
Second, it is important to be and stay suspicious of the software you use, especially with android. But you shouldn't be worried too much as most of the data that is sent from your phone isn't sent with "evil intentions" or anything like that, it is often rather aggressive diagnostics.
Warning! The following paragraphs are filled with very radical means of removing suspected spyware! Almost all of these require root and knowledge in modding your Android! Beware!
As to how you can spot "spyware" or suspected spyware, there isn't one easy way.
First of all, you could use a custom ROM, so that your system is more open source and there isn't any suspected spyware (or any "ware" at all) from Samsung.
To go one step further, you could try to live without Google services:
Use a different search engine, for example DuckDuckGo or any other really
Use Firefox or any non-Chromium browser
Instead of using opengapps to install Google Play Services (when you install a custom ROM) you could use the replacement project "microG" (microg.org).
Get as many apps as you can from Open source app stores (F-Droid)
Don't use the official Play Store unless you really have to - it is a power hungry data collecting app (that can theoretically install any app without asking, just like the Google Play Services or any other /system/priv-app app with proper permissions) - Alternative for installing Play Store apps: Aurora Store
Replace Google Maps with OpenStreetMap (OSMand)
Use a anonymous YouTube client, for example NewPipe
etc.
These are of course only suggestions, I don't recommend doing them all at once, but if you really don't want any unnecessary data sent from your phone, these are the first steps.
For actually seeing which apps send what data you could either analyze the app bytecode with App Warden or look at all detailed permissions with AppOpsX.
Methods to neutralize spyware are rejecting the permission for the app to use internet access or even run in the background, disabling the suspected app or removing it with system app removers.
Be very careful with actually disabling or removing system apps! Many system apps are needed for the system to work and one can easily misjudge an app by its description and diagnostics! Before disabling an app you should research whether anyone else knows anything about the app and only remove it if you are really sure about it. You have been warned.
