[Q] Can't stop play apps from auto updating - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Over the last 3 days, Google play has been updating my apps even though I I have always had auto-update apps unchecked since I've gotten the phone.
How do I stop this? Is there another setting somewhere?

Did you go into settings when your in Google play and turn auto update off?

Yes. Its not checked.

Go into settings, apps, Google play and clear cache and data

Mine doesn't have a check box. You have to click the option and select do not auto update apps. Mine was set to auto update over WiFi.

Sorry not to be clear. I selected never update in the same place.
I cleared the cache and went back in and it was set to always update.
I set it back to never. may apps are now all up to date. I'll let you know what happens when one is due.

I now have some 41 updates for my apps. Any way to auto-update these all at once?

GPS won't turn off

Hey everyone,
I have the AT&T 32GB GS4. For the past few days, I have been experiencing odd battery drainages during the second half of the day. I was looking at the battery section of the settings menu, and when I turn off GPS through the notifications bar (when I'm done navigating), the GPS is showing that it is still running. It doesn't turn off until I restart the phone. Also, Google Services is taking up 40%+ of the battery and it hasn't done that ever. I've had this phone for a month.
Any ideas?

could be location service related or weather app related. freeze all apps you DL'd and check again.
That didn't work. I turned off all apps and cleared data for Maps. Also, none of my apps are allowed to use my location.

try doing a factory reset from the settings menu. Just backup everything you want to keep onto your sd card
Do you have yahoo weather installed

Random App Ate My Data!

Some random Google Services app ate all my data. However it doesn't show what app used the data. Is there a way to check?

I think he meant mobile data...
My guess would be to check if your Google account is syncing pictures
How about settings>data usage?

It happen too many times, anyway, I will write my data again!

To to settings, scroll down, under "accounts"
Select Google, tap your Google account on top to see what is being synced. You can enable/disable sync for individual items there.

Ok I disabled some syncing stuff for her. Checked Google Services and it says 196MB was used for Background... "View app settings" is greyed out though.
same issue
Hey,
I'm having the same issue, first my phone and service:
Tmobile
Nexus 4 w/ Paranoid Android 3.6 with Franco Kernel 3.4.0
LTE Enabled / LTE Tethering enabled on Firewall
Ok, so within 3 days my phone used 1.62 GB of data that the data usage area in settings attributes to Google Services. I haven't installed any new apps or made any changes.
According to Android, Google Services includes:
Google Contacts Sync
Google Account Manager
Network Location
Google Play Services
Google Services Framework
Google Bookmarks Sync
The only culprits I can think it might be are either Account Manager or Network Location. I turned off Location Access and I'm trying to limit anything syncing on my google accounts. But that hasn't changed over the whole month, I don't know why it would now. I'll keep looking and report back what I find. I downloaded android firewall and i'm downloading My data manager too, to try to obtain more metrics. any help would be appreciated.
Just today, I lost 575MB of data, again to Google Services. It was all background data. Have most of my syncing stuff disabled.
It's trying to pull the 4.3 update, and since your not on stock, it'll fail over and over. After a lot of searching, I found what seems to have fixed it. Get the app Autorun Manager, select advanced mode, go to settings and enable show system entries and enable system app disable. Then scroll down to Google Services Framework. Find and uncheck com.Google.android.gsf.update.systemupdateservices$secretcodereceiver. What a mouthful, but that should end your data drain troubles.

I have 1.15GB for removed apps WTF is that I removed my apps not through the internet. This makes no sense.

Network Location is the one. Ate around 300mb yesterday so I just completely disabled that ****. One other thing that was mentioned above was, android 4.3 update. I got a message in notifcations that 4.3 is ready to install lol.. I didn't even download it... it downloads automatically. wtf google.

Hi. I tried this. Initially it stopped. But after a few hours it started again. This time my network log app was showing upload too. And the same download manager, drm protected storage and media storage were showing data transfer. What to do? I'm on aokp milestone 2 with franco kernel milestone 3
Tried the Autorun Manager fix
Google Services used up 1.2GB mobile data on my phone in a matter of hours yesterday. I've tried the fix, hope it stops. I've disabled Mobile Data as a failsafe. I also noticed that Google Services' usage on WiFi was 7.5GB in 20 days. Is this normal?
Using the last CM10.1 nightly.

Did you check again using the same app?
I'm having the same problem! I already tried reflashing my rom, and the problem always comes back!
I tried disabling com.Google.android.gsf.update.systemupdateservices $secretcodereceiver Autorun Manager (free version) and the problem still happens.
Any solution?
EDIT:
Installing FOTAKILL, seems to have fixed it *crosses fingers*
Yes I did. It stopped for a while for me too but then started again. And same here. Transferred many GB on WiFi. Now I went back to stock, updated OTA to 4.3 and rooted again. Staying on rooted stock till the 4.3 based releases of AOKP and all come out

So, if I update to CM10.2 (4.3), it should solve this too, right?

Cleared Play Store data accidentally?

I have a silly question, I accidentally cleared Play Store data and now I don't have any apps when I press My Apps. Is there any chance to bring it back and will now my apps get updates?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You will still get updates.
To resolve this do the following:
Settings --> Choose your Google account just scroll down --> Press on your email with the green sync icon on the left of it --> press the 3 dots in the upper right and delete it. --> re-add it.
Or just google:"Delete Google account android".

deleting play store data doesnt rid it of your apps. as soon as you clear your play store data, then reopen the play store, all your installed and once installed apps will reappear. the only reason no play store apps appear would be if you got rid of your personal google account.

That is not true. When I cleared data and after that I opened Play Store there are no apps when I go to "My apps". Now I fixed that thanks to failly.

what happened to you is not the norm. ive cleared data hundreds of times, on many devices, over many years, and that has not once happened. what rom are you running by chance? do you have a good constant data signal?

Setting Force close?

Upgraded to 4.4 with a clean wipe. I uninstalled some of the Google apps I never use such as currents ect. After awhile some apps start to force close such as settings. After I reboot or wipe cache or both the apps then reinstall themselves. Strange. I have never had a problem like this in any other version of android. Anyone else?

yea, i found out two weeks ago that you cant uninstall system apps in kitkat without getting a fc in settings. my way around it, i disabled 19 of the apps found in /system/app/ instead of deleting them. it seems to work just as well. pick any of the apps, select to view its info, tben press disable in the app info screen. itll remove that app from the app drawer as well.
Thanks Simms. Your one helpful dude! I always felt better totally getting ride of them to open up more space but it is what it is.

its what i do too, and always done. i have found that you can delete a few apps in /system/app/, like plus one, but they cant be considered system apps. its one of the first things i noticed about kitkat, that settings fc after removing system apps.

This is wrong on so many levels. After years rooting and running custom roms, I'm suddenly stuck with a load of bloatware if I upgrade to 4.4. I only use the account manager and Play Store and don't want any other Google apks, and would like to do without even those two, in fact I have no Google account 99% of the time and both are disabled unless I have to update something.
Hope there's a way out of this...
