Two Google apps -- Play Books and Play Movies & TV -- keeping returning from the land of the frozen. I go back into TB Pro and refreeze, and within a couple of days at most they are back. All the other Google apps I've frozen remain so. Is there something else on the list I also need to freeze?
When I disable them in app manager they come back after a reboot as well. I think its tied to the play store or something that keeps activating them.

I checked on Play and on app manager for auto update option and don't see one. Odd that only these two are persistent despite freezing. I have the feeling there's another item on TB that needs freezing as well to fix this.
I got sick of this and since I do not want nor need them, I just deleted them

Ah, the more brutal approach. If that worked, and you have no regrets or issues as a result, that seems my only course of action as well.
Why you bother to freeze them or delete? It's part of former Google Market. Do.'t see benefit from deleting it. Can you share your thoughts?

Basically, I have four pages of icons under apps, and many of them are for services I have no interest in and will never use. I'm not trying to save space...I think there's 11 GB free, but I find the clutter off-putting.
Not sure I understand the part about Google Market. Play is just the same thing renamed, isn't it? Plus new look and feel.
Anyway, just de-cluttering the UI.
Yup it comes back now.. Use menu - > hide applications or you can stick them all in one folder and hide just that folder

I like the new feature of ICS that allows you to disable apps. I used it immediately to remove the VZW bloatware that was pre installed (back up assistant).
But I may of taken it a step too far. I disabled the default calculator app ( just happen to like realcalc better). When I did that it screwed up my calendar. All of my events were MIA. Luckily I caught it before I did anything else and couldn't pinpoint the problem. - undisabled the calculator and every thing went back to normal.
So, like it says in the warning use caution when disabling system apps. And hopefully my little boo boo helps some one else out.
Anyone else disable a app and notice any strange or unexpected results???

If i want to re-enable it, what should i do?

I disabled Books, Vz backup, and phone (I'm using another dialer). So far no issues.
I also used autostarts to keep a few other apps from starting automatically all the time.

Ph didn't notice it was on bottom thank you very much.

Is anyone else having this issue in google play.
You scroll down as you look at apps.
You select one to look at it then go back to the app list.
Once back to the list you are started back at the top.
Pretty annoying if you are pretty far down.
Anyone know of a fix

I have actually contacted Google about this. It happens when viewing the "My Apps" and is especially annoying in the "All" tab. It also happens in the "Top New Free" apps section. Google emailed me back and said they can't promise anything, but my concern had been forwarded to their developers. I really hope they fix this.
Good deal. Yeah it's not a huge deal but gets annoying when you are searching for apps and have to scroll through a couple hundred apps to get back to where you left off. Seems like it would be an easy fix for Google I wonder why they don't fix it.

It would be great if they fix it soon... and also give us the possibility to clean the chronology of the google play, i've an endless list of apps it's pretty useless...

Yes, now that you mention it the app history of every app you downloaded in the last 5 years is worse. I download and try a ton of free apps as well as paid. Most free apps are deleted within the day, so I have a gazillion apps in the my apps list

I agree these issues are annoying. I'll sign any petition!
Furthermore, they need to bring back a way of filtering purchased apps. All of our purchased apps should be in one convenient place.

Theres legacy play store by Paul O'brien on MoDaCo.
An update to the Playstore is being rolled out to address some of these issues. You can now remove apps from the all apps list and it appears to keep your place when you scroll.

This new Play Store is sweet! You can delete historical apps and it remembers your position when navigating backward!
I downloaded from the article link, cleared market data, pushed to system (rooted), and rebooted. Works great.

U just select what u want to delete in the check boxes and then click start and it uninstalls them takes about 30secs tto check em off and a few mins tto run if its alot of apps. I usually debloat one at a time in tibu tho so I can backup the few I may want later before deleting, or sometimes ill just backup all the system apps in batch then do a batch uninstall

Lmao u guys crack me up . I remove some stuff from aosp/cm based roms that I don't use but mostly just stuff that actively runs in the background like tvout or other things that like to autostart. I only do it cuz if i don't use it I don't see a point in wasting ram/CPU and battery on it just chilling in the background for no good reason. But that list is mostly stuff alot of ppl use, or is required for full functionality

You can delete them from the zip with 7zip or a comparable program before installing, but like everyone is saying, there's not much benefit

Wonder when they changed it whenever I removed talk back in the day it would always break my Google accounts. Google must have done some changes in one of the more recent updates to talk which allows the accounts and sync to work without it.

On my evo everytime I would remove it I would get Google account sign in errors and the market would force close. I bet they changed it sometime around when market became play store, or maybe HTC set it up as a dependency in the framework. I don't remember if I ever tried removing it on CM but tried a few times on sense roms only to have to restore a namdroid >_<

be careful getting apps from sites especially if it is something that is free that otherwise costs money on the market the new thing is to embed malware in to a legit package [it runs what it should like the game it says it is] it just happens to have malware embedded with the game.
This would make sense as it would want to try to stop you from installing AV software and it may not be able to stop the market [they have been adding AV stuff and other security slowly] so it stops you where it can.
Now not to say some other issue happened that caused this but it is VERY odd that right after you install an app you are supposed to pay for, but got for free and all of a sudden your device just doesn't allow software installs.

The thing is though it won't install ANYTHING I get outside of the Play Store. If I wanted GameGuardian, it wouldn't let me install it even though I had it before with the same ROM and everything. The only fix I found was to completely reinstall the ROM, and I don't want to reinstall all the apps again.
Do you have any apps running in the background? I remember on my amaze having screen filter on didnt let me click install either.

The other day I woke up to my phone having a Samsung notification saying Fitness With Gear successfully updated. I've never had that app to begin with so how can it get updated?! Anyways I ignored it since the Samsung app store didn't give me an option to uninstall it and just let it be. Well just now I noticed my lookout was being weird scanning new stuff I never heard of and found it installed 4 more apps called Gear Fit Manager, Gear Fit Installer, Samsung Billing and WeatherProvider. Any clues guys?

I always catch my lookout going off scanning it saying it's safe.

Yes almost everyone who has opened the Samsung app store has got pushed the gear manager and most those apps. They don't even know it. It's not in app drawer. Go to settings -application manager- all apps and you will see the apps

I didn't open the Samsung app store but I did have it set up to auto update my apps when on Wi-Fi. Didn't think they will have the nerve to push stuff that's not installed as an update. Also you can find two of them on your app drawer. Fitness With Gear and Gear Fit Manager.

The same thing is happening to my Galaxy S4. I tried uninstalling the GearFitInstaller, but it just keeps reinstalling. Now I've turned off "Auto update apps" in the Samsung Apps store. Hopefully that will get rid of this nuisance.

That's exactly what you have to do as well as the following: Go into your phone settings-applications and find the apps you want gone. First you must uninstall the updates for the app then clear cache/data... then uninstall the app. Reapeat this for any app you don't want. And then make sure you go into Samsung Apps and set it to NOT automatically install updates. Done.
