    Apps started auto-updating since March update

    Been having this same problem. Disabling auto updates is the only thing that has worked, but it makes many paid apps not work. I've had it automatically update apps and the apps stop working. I uninstall the new version and reinstall the old. Then it works for 15 minutes until auto update does...

    Auto updates

    I have a Galaxy S9+ and apps will update at any time, even though "Auto Update" is turned off, "download on WiFi only" is set and WiFi is off. I have to use a third party disabler to disable the play store. It is the only workable solution. Many paid apps won't run because they can't check the...

    Why does the Google Instant Play app automatically update even if you don't want to.

    I have auto update turned off in the play store, but it updates any app it wants at any time it wants. I use a third party ago to disable the play store to stop it. When the Play Store is disabled, some paid apps won't run because they can't confirm the license. I enable it, start the app I...

    How do you manually disable a third-party (non-system) app in One UI on the Note9?

    I use an app called Package Disabled Pro. That's how I disable anything I don't want running.

    Can't disable auto update, when put on "never install updates automatic" it turns back on later

    Re: Can't disable auto update, when put on "never install updates automatic" it turns back on later I just went into my setting and completely disabled Google Play Store. Hopefully this will be a temporary solution so I can find the ad problem.

    Can't disable auto update, when put on "never install updates automatic" it turns back on later

    Re: Can't disable auto update, when put on "never install updates automatic" it turns back on later I am extremely frustrated. Samsung Galaxy S9+, auto update is turned off. There is no option in each app to turn auto updates 'off' just options to turn them 'on'. These stupid updates...

    Trouble with screen mirroring (Samsung TV )

    I found the solution, at least for my S5. From the latest update of the Chromecast app (now called the GoogleCast app), I selected the tab in the upper left menu and selected screen cast from there. It works perfectly from here. I hope this helps everyone.

    Trouble with screen mirroring (Samsung TV )

    I am running Lollipop on my GS5 (Verizon) and have loaded the patch app which won't patch because it says the patch isn't needed. If I run YouTube or any other app I can cast to my smart TV our to one of our three Chromecasts. However, when I try to select screen mirroring I get the message that...

    Spoken with sprint and Samsung for days about ICS update

    Had the same issue with Verizon and I called the FCC and filled a complaint. The FCC got on their case and got me out of my contract, without me paying anything. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

    USB OTG Host Adapter

    The latest in the saga: Numerous people have told me to wait for ICS to come out, as USB host mode is built in. Well I now have ICS and so far have been unable to use the adapters. If anyone knows any more about it I would love the intel. Greg Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2

    when do we get ics?

    I'd rather wait a little longer for a working OS. It seems like every time there's an upgrade, they upgrade the bugs too. It would be great to get it right before sending it out. Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk

    USB OTG Host Adapter

    Has anyone had any luck using the USB OTG (On The Go) Host adapter? Basically it's a short cable/adapter that connects to the Micro USB connector on the E4GT to a jump/flash drive. I bought two on Amazon (one for me and one for my son in college) and when I went to use them I got no response...
