Google + re-enabling?

**shantheman#AC** · 06-13-2012, 01:19 AM

So...after 4.04 update...google plus re-enbles after I've disabled it. Google books does this too. Anyone else see this? I'm stock and not rooted.

Yep, I noted this in one of the update threads - Google+ and other Google related apps always re-enable after a full shutdown for me, have to go back in and re-disable every time.

So why am I not finding the "disable" button in the apps view in the settings menu? I remember it being in there somewhere when I first got the Nexus but now I can't find it. WTH?

Edit: I had to "Uninstall Updates" to Google+ first, then the Disable button reappeared. But still...WTH?

I'm noticing the same thing, the disable button, is missing on all my app screens. I fired up my Asus prime and the disable button is missing there too. I still have programs set to be disabled but I don't know how to disable new programs going forward. Wondering whats going on?

*EDIT* oops. I take it back. There is a disable button on pre-loaded apps. just for the record, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Google plus!

After each reboot (due to battery swaps, usually), the disabled Google+ STILL re-enables itself. Even after backing out the updates that hid the Disable button, the app keeps enabling after reboots. As long as I don't let the app update, I can at least disable it...but will have to repeat that after the next battery swap.

Bump: anyone ever figure out a work-around for this?

Back out the most recent update. Then the disable trick works.

Huh. That wasn't working for me before, but then I read your post about not letting it update. I found it in the market and unchecked "automatically update," then I disabled it. I've rebooted a couple of times to see what would happen, but its still disabled as of now. Knock on wood... thanks!
