[Q] Can't stop play apps from auto updating

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.

Where is the Google App "search for nearby device"?

I'm setting up my Nexus 6P and see this option that says I can transfer stuff from my old android to my new one but when I open Google App and go to settings I cannot find anything called "search for nearby device"...where is it? Also, is this feature in just Lollipop and higher?
I believe it is only available on Lollipop and Marshmallow, and might only be part of the initial setup of the phone. I don't know if you can invoke it manually.
It's at the bottom of Google app settings.
Edit: Correction - go to Settings>Google, and it's near the bottom.

Settings, Google, Set up nearby device
Well, if it is only in Lollipop and above that would explain why I can't find it on my Note 3 running Biggins final KitKat release then Oh well, I just backed everything up with Titanium Backup and transferred that to my Nexus 6P and retrieved my stuff from there. Thanks all!

Where is running services?

Where is this setting so I can see what apps are always running. This use to be in apps settings on my other phones but can't find it on my nexus.

You need to enable developer settings and it's near the top of there!

Can't turn off 'ok google'

This has been causing me problems for weeks now.
In the Google settings I have all voice settings turned off but the Google search bar still pops up with 'say ok google' and it still works even on other pages.
It's as though it's completely ignoring the settings and stuck on the from any page setting.
Anyone have any possible ideas for fixes?

Try to clear data of Google Now if possible.
Otherwise try to uninstall Google Now and re-install the latest version
I've tried both of those as a first step and it still happens.
Really quite annoying as I'm pretty sure it's causing considerable battery drain.
Only thing I can do for now is deny the microphone permission for google now but this also prevents android auto from using voice commands. And it still says it's activated on the search bar

Re-enable Hangouts

I disabled Hangouts some time ago and now I want to re-enable it. However I can't. When I go to Settings>Applications it isn't there no matter how I look (disabled apps, all apps etc.) When I go in the play store I see Hangouts and it has an Enable button but it does nothing. I was able to re-enable Chrome. Any ideas how I can get Hangouts back (short of a factory reset).
I have a Exynos S7E running the latest official Nougat beta.

Thanks edan. I still can't see it. Strangely I can see Android System Webview but I can't re-enable that.

why dont you try download the apk from somewhere and install it. who knows if it will enable the apps. i suggest download it from apkmirror.
Thanks for trying edan but that didn't work. Looks like I will switch to my Honor 8 and reset the S7E.
