Any way to uninstall Android Pay? - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a D851 on T-mobile 6.0 stock.
I don't see Android Pay in the app list and Play Store has 'install' instead of 'upgrade' button.
I want to touch-to-send, but every time I tap the phone to another phone, the Android Pay app pops up and asks me to set it up.
This is really annoying? Where is this app and why is it hidden?
Anyone else see this?
Thanks.

Have u checked it in the apps section? Disable it from there if not u need root for this install titanium backup remove bloatware from there...i also have d851 mine didnt have any andriod pay installed

That's the thing. It doesn't show up in apps list. So there is no way to start it or know it is there until you tap it against another NFC device. Doesn't matter whether it is a payment terminal, just another phone and it will pop up. Are you on Android 6.0 T-mobile stock? Try tapping it on another NFC device.
This is my wife's phone, so I don't want to root it. Any other choice? Seems weird that they would install an app that has a user interface for managing credit cards and not have it show up until tapped on another device.

Did some more experimenting and found that Android Pay is also there on a Moto X with Android 6.0 even after the Android Pay app was uninstalled, so it is built into the system. The only difference is Android Pay does not pop up on the Moto X when placed against another NFC device.
Also figured out that the Android Pay can be configured through the Google settings page when the Android Pay app is not installed.

U can try factory reseting backup ur data in pc ...then all programs will be shown in default

Did you find a solution? I have the same problem with a LG Volt. I removed Android Pay as device administrator and uninstalled it. It doesn't show up in the list of apps, yet it keep popping up whenever I try to use NFC.

Try clearing Google Play Services cache
Go to Settings:App Manager:Google Play Services
Press Clear Cache
Reset phone
That's what finally worked for me.

[Q] Update to new market

I have lookout mobile installed and it never got the chance to update before my phone automatically updated to the new market. I have to uninstall it and reinstall it but it doesnt let me uninstall because i told it to not let anyone uninstall it in case i lost my phone and someone was to prevent my from tracking it. the app does not open i cannot turn off that feature. what should i do.
I'm not familar with that feature but did you try and go online and see if you can disable it from there. Otherwise if your rooted and make frequent backups you could just restore one of those.

Well your kind of lucky right now but who knows what will happen when account activates. Dude i just backed a rom up on my gnex (didnt erase no data or nothing) and when i went into wallet as soon as i got in before even activating accnt i got the secure element error. If u get the " secure element not responding " error u need a new device to use wallet or a new motherboard. when u go into the app and hit menu on your phone then go to settings. See if u can reset there
Edit...and also resetting app data will not do anything it has to be reset from inside app
What would be proper procedure before you flash a new rom at all??
From what I understand first you remove all the cards in your Google Wallet than in Settings -> Reset wallet??
Would it be smart to clear cache (etc) through the settings -> Applications??
What I did was Delete The Google Wallet APK from /system/app folder then reinstalled it. Worked fine after that. Good Luck..

Yes but u got lucky you are playing with fire the way your supposed to do it is go into google wallet then hit menu on your phone. Go to settings then scroll down to reset google wallet. This will take down all your cards and every other piece of data in the money network. Thn after its done u will see the app is totally reset like how it looks when u first downloaded it. Now is when u can flash a new rom
I have been searching and i havent found anything
so i have the ATT s3, i rooted before and got wallet working. Even purchased many thing with it. Today I decide to unroot my phone to take in the OTA update from ATT. i did that and then i rooted again. I was trying to see if all my app works, so without thinking i open up wallet. It gave me some errors. so i went and reflash wallet to the newest file. And now the wallet icon is grayed, and it has a sd card mini logo next to it. when i click on it, it said " application not installed." I installed it many times over and still the same. i am not sure what to do.. i have been looking, seems like no one is having this problem.
please help
i got the icon back working but still say "insufficient secure element privileges for this system image (release-keys)"
any way around it?

You need to install the nfc libraries, there is a link somewhere, search for wallet threads.
OP - YMMV. You can wipe data/system/cache/dalvik and then install your rom and everything should be fine. I did the same thing before and hunted around and it seems that not resetting wallet does not lead to secure element breaking. Again YMMV.
i just fixed it. ( for the insufficient error)
so i flashed to stock, ota updated, then restore to factory.
Root the device, installed super user, updated super user
installed root manager
change you build.prop
flash newest hacked google wallet
activate google wallet account
change you build.prop back to factory.. all my cards are there except for the prepaid.
i dont if it works.. so i will update if it would.

how to remove mcafee that preload in the G3

i can stop and freez mini opera, but how to to remove mcafee from the device without root ?
Without root, you can't. The best you can do is revoke it's administration rights in menu/settings/security

Use a file explorer like root explorer, navigate to system/apps (I'm not 100 sure this is the correct folder) and just simply delete the apk. Reboot if you want and you're done. Or use an app manager like titanium backup and find the app and delete it.

mcafee support
Im new to the forum but have been following for a while. I contacted mcafee support and received an email from them asking for my email associated with the account, my imei number, the phone number associated with the account and a buddy number of which i sent the info and received a pin number from them. I then went to apps within settings, clicked on mcafee security and then clicked on manage storage. It then asked for a pin which i put in and low and behold afer about 3 minutes it now gives me the option to force stop and uninstall updates. :laugh:
Hope this is helpful to others that do not wish to root their phones.
Just freeze it in titanium along with 1000 other bloatwares that would get rid of all the lag and eat up half your battery. Seriously recommend you to root.
Root, then install an app called App Master, has the ability to remove system and user apps, I removed a tonne including hangouts, maps and all the others, macafee etc.
/system/priv-app
I think the app is named LG-Mcafee.apk or something like this (got rid of it long time ago). Delete the apk and you're done. Obviously root required as well as file manager like Root Explorer.
removed easily on G2 without root
Removed administration rights of mcafee, then restarted phone, went to apps in settings Ang uninstall it.
No root needed.
Ok...how do you remove adminsitration rights?
thanks

Thank you. What phone number /email address did you use, specifically, to contact McAfee? I have tried numerous, but can't get to the right place. Can you put a little more detail here?
The Gift from Mcafee security app
In my country, Thailand, the Mcafee in LG G3 is not just app for virus protection but it acts virus alike. Mcafee will send SMS through mobile phone network provider automatically 2-3 times everyday since first time mobile phone activated. I was shocked from billing of oversea SMS from Thailand to America sent by Mcafee almost 50 times within 2 months without any notification or acceptable reaction from me. I had to stop all SMS sending function from my phone number to anywhere both domestic and oversea. only receiving SMS allowed. This was a special thing powered by Mcafee security app in LG G3 for loss phone protection. Thanks LG.

What app is sending you these notifications? File Manager? App Manager?
Hold down on the notification until you see a bell and an i. Hit the i to get information.
There should be a box that says notifications on the app info... Uncheck that. Reboot the phone and see if it appears again (It shouldn't).

Hold down on the notification in your tray until you see a bell and an i enclosed in a circle. Hit the i to get app information.
Then uncheck the box for notifications from that app. Reboot and see if it pops up again.

If you're on Lollipop:
Hold down on the notification and get the info. Make sure it's unchecked (Could be a different app sending that one).
If it's already unchecked:
Go to your settings and find "Notification Manager". Enter this and hit "App notifications". Find the app that sent the above notification and tap on it. Now you can adjust it and set priorities and whatnot. For this, block notifications from it.
This may block notifications for system updates as well, but you can still check it manually. Plus, system updates don't happen very often so not seeing it won't really matter.
EDIT: Misunderstood what you meant... I underlined what to do in your case.
Edit 2: I'm running a custom ROM and that's how I would do it in my case. I failed to remember that the stock ROM may not have added these features, so you can also do this (for sure) but going to your settings and hitting apps, then scrolling over to all. Find the app manager (or whatever app uses the same icon as the one sending you the notifications) and click on it. Now you can uncheck the displaying of notifications from it.

Read that^^^
Also, unchecking notifications from "Google Service Framework" may remove notifications for these type of updates.
If you are rooted and already have SuperSU you can download Titanium backup and uninstall any app from your phone. BE CAREFUL BECAUSE SOME APPS ARE IMPORTANT. Also, make sure you backup the file before removing it via titanium (backup through titanium backup) in case you for some reason need it back. This may or may not remove the prompt to update the app, but way back when (if I remember correctly) it did for me.

Glad to hear it! If you ever have any more questions feel free to PM me.
Also, I would highly recommend you try out a free app called "LG Tweaks Box". It'll make your phone feel so much better and have tons of customization!
I'm not sure if this even/still applies but when I was on KitKat (LG G3 2GB) I rooted my device then used either Root Explorer or ES File Explorer File Manager and looked in the data\op folder on device and deleted anything I didn't want (mainly anything carrier related which was all of the H3G_COM folder (30 items) as it was a 3 UK handset) then reflashed firmware and wiped device and I have never had any apps forced on me since, i've even disabled auto restore of apps from Google Play on first sign in so I can be choose what I wanted installed at each reflash/wipe.
Back up the OP folder first as It is handy for later if ever needed
Again not sure if this even/still applies
Hope that helps
Thanks for the reply
But sorry to say that my Data/Op folder has no Carrier APPs
i have done a full search on phone an just cant find the junk
i still have a message saying i have 15 APPs to update even with APP update frozen with RootUninstaller

Try installing them then using titanium backup to remove them completely including all files.

lg g3 after root most apps dont work

I rooted my phone with kingo root app to root my phone. After which I got rid of bloatware apps on my phone and now pretty much all my apps have stopped working. I can't go to google play use google now synch my google account. Messaging app will load but not that messages when I click it they all say the app has stopped. I was going to install cloudyg3 but now I just want my phone back to normal. I've tried factory reset still won't fix it. I've been trying and googling for about 5 days now and can't figure it out.
