Almost every day, new update of several Samsung Default apps are arriving on apkmirror.
https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/
Is it ok to install these, i know they are verified, but seeing that latest updates are not automatically pushed to my phone or delayed, can i install these, or will it break any future automatic updates for Apps?

I think it's better to install from Samsung apps on your phone.

Yeahhhhhh, I'd stay away from the ones on apkmirror onless you NEED to be on the bleeding edge of the betas or testing, cuz they are usually optomized for diffrent devices
I install all of em. Never had a problem. BUT most of them won't install because of a package with same name error. What I do is when a few versions have gone by I'll save em and when I reset my phone (which I do once a month or so because I'm weird like that) I'll install them all right after I finish initial setup and they install fine.
apkmirror is where I got the Pixel Dialer/Contacts along with FB Messenger Lite. I don't have many if any Samsung apps left on my phone.
I trust that website, but that's just me.

So since I am new the the N1, does my pre-installed Facebook app get the update or do I need to install the store version for it to apply?

check in the downloads section of the market it should say "update available" if you don't have the latest version
I did that...I have version 1.1.3, but the market is version 1.2...yet it does not say update available, in fact Facebook does not show up in my Downloads section because it was installed on my phone when I got it a week ago.
It's there. It was just posted a bit ago.
Think you have to have installed it from the market before it'll inform you about an update.
A step in the right direction.

Definitely.
Well it is not in my Downloads and I think I know the reason. I did not download the app. The app was pre-installed and not downloaded. So if I go into the market, into Downloads, there is no Facebook. I guess I have to install it from the market to get the update.
Makes me glad Google is taking apps out of the OS in the future.

Hmm... even though it came pre-installed, it still shows up in my Downloads. Applications like Google Voice and Google Maps, which were all pre-installed when I got my phone, all shows up in my Downloads. Weird.
that is weird. None of those are in my Downloads. I only have those apps I have installed. Maybe I am doing something wrong?

So it's finally out. What do you guys think? Is this the end of Appbrain? I loved appbrain cause I can browse the apps on the website and then just click install from there and it will automatically install on the phone. Now this can do it too!
The biggest upside to this? You can install (after you pay) "in-app" purchase app from the website. e.g. you can install the NBA League Pass from the website directly. Any other features I missed?
This is from Google themselves, not me.
https://market.android.com/
Cool. I like it.
I never really got into appbrain, because it still involved that extra step of opening the application itself.. and blah.. I think, I can't even remember. It just seemed tedious at the time to go onto the computer when it was quicker on my phone.
Then when Google does it, I'm all over it. I have been installing random applications just to install them. Why is this so awesome?!
I played with it for a while now and everything seems to be working well. I guess I can save some space by uninstalling appbrain and use this instead.
sweet jesus!
I'm like'n it...good stuff!
The automatic OTA install is working to my N1 and my Galaxy Tab now, it wasn't earlier this morning.
Works well!
With this new website comes another big change that will happen in the 3rd quarter of this year: NO MORE "LITE" version apps.

That's actually a good thing. You download the "free" application, and then if you decide to unlock it you buy the key from within the app rather than a separate unlocker application, or having the market cluttered with 2 separate versions.
Sounds like a plan!
The in-app purchasing as a general concept I'm not a massive fan off as it has the potential to lead to nickle & diming, primarily for games, but if used responsibly it should be good.
Wow, about time. Glad to see it's finally here.
now all they need to do is let you backup your app data. I dont want to lose my angry birds scores everytime i switch roms and forget to back it up with titamium backup
Well, I don't suppose there's a way for Market Enabler to work on the website?
It lists paid apps from all over the world, but it knows your phone's carrier and will prevent installs if your country does not support it..
I guess it's back to Market Enabler on the phone.
Anyone else having trouble actually buying apps from the website? Installing free apps works like a charm, but trying to purchase and install paid apps doesn't work. I press continue and _nothing_ happens.
running CM7 nightlies and the OTA installs are not working...
According to the website, you need to be logged into GTalk, only my GTalk won't log in. GTalk also appears to be missing from the market, so the problem may be on their end...
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Doesn't work for me, it's been years and Android Market still doesn't support Google Apps accounts for Checkout. Although I can login, no devices are listed under "my devices" on market.android.com
I'm running CM7 Nightlies as well, I'm a few behind though, and I'm always logged into GTalk and the OTA's are not working for me either.
It's not working here on MM v.20. I've tried installing several apps but nothing happens on the phone end, the GTalk solution they give also doesn't help. Weird thing is they all show up on my app list as completed when none of them have actually installed.

I'm having the same issue. I'm running CM6.1 kangorama's version and the install says it has worked on the website, but nothing changes on the phone itself.
I'm wondering if it has to do with it being a rooted device without a stock rom?

I'm betting that someone is going to have to create a Web App Store Enabler or something along those lines for this to work on rooted phones or phones without stock ROM's.
I run Version 27 of the Facebook app. Since I got my Note 4 last week, Facebook has been updating daily and sometimes more often than once, OUTSIDE of the Play Store.
I have all auto-updates turned off, no unknown sources allowed. This seems to happen only on the pre-installed version. This never, ever happened on my S5.
Is anyone else with any carrier having this issue?

Sorry, I did a quick skim, didn't notice the "no questions here" someone can feel free to move this.
You can't uninstall it, they made it "bloatware". Clearing cache etc doesn't work. This happens daily.

No, Facebook and Instagram were pre-loaded like bloatware. Disable is all you can do. I use the app, just don't want anything above v27.

I think you are correct about those two files, because I saw those show up.
I had some crazy issues with my phone two days ago and Best Buy had to replace it. I came home, didn't log into my Google or Samsung account. While it was downloading Lollipop, my Facebook app updated. Again, outside of the Play Store and this phone had never been logged into the Play Store, I also had not logged into my Facebook app or sideload my Facebook apk.
I saw those two files listed as "downloaded" in the App Manager. I was able to uninstall updates and disable them. Then I did uninstalled updates on the Facebook app and sideload version 27. I saw those two files in downloaded apps before when I did a reset when my original phone when nuts.
Since I disabled those and they don't show up in the "turned off" apps or show up anywhere now, my Facebook hasn't updated again. I was looking today to see if I could find those two files and where I had them disabled. But, again, the only time I have seen them is when I haven't installed my app and the app has just updated by itself. I hope that has stopped it for me. I think if someone isn't rooted, the only way to deal with those two files is how I did the other night.
lol man thanks i know about them but i forgot to disable them

Yeah I could only disable with the first update. I don't even know if going and uninstalling updates to Facebook, will let you do this or if you can only catch them with the first update after a reset or out of the box. All that based on a non-rooted device.
Still no updates for me since I was able to do that the other night and it was updating several times a day. Every time I rolled it back, it would update again not much long after.
I've just upgraded my Chinese Axon 7 to MiFavore5.0. And it has some bugs associating with google apps especially google play games, it doesn't sync and it is stuck on this page(see screenshot) . Another issue is that if you go to settings/google/sign in and security it gives this error(second screenshot).Please help if you know how to fix these issues.(I have reset factory both before and after the update, and I have also enabled auto run for all google apps in MiAssitant as I always do)

No way this is gonna work. Seriously it has syncing problems with some google apps such as Chrome, Play Games and this is really a shame for ZTE for such a messed up updated the so called MiFavor 5. They'd better release another update soon and fix this.

Why do you think it is a problem of the update though?? I had trouble with GApps on B01 and B06, and I could fix them on both. They stop working all of a sudden, sometimes after a reboot one will get frozen... it's because it's a Chinese ROM.
Try reinstalling it from zero and see if the problem is still there. The way to solve it is that one.

Many people are receiving their Pixel 2 with Camera version 5.0.009 and cannot update it to the new version 5.1.014. The difference is that version 5.0.009 does not allow Portrait mode on the front camera. When you go to update in the Play Store, it doesn't show an update. All you have to do is clear the data for Google Play by following these directions.
Go to Settings> Apps &Notifications> Google Play> Storage> Clear Data
Then check your Google Play Store and It should show an update for the Camera.
This actually directed me to update well over 20 apps, and fixed me pixel launcher issues. Thanks!
Google should release some update in the Play Store servers to push the latest versions when the user manually check for updates...

Yeah pretty interesting, doing this fixed a lot of software issues I was having (in particular the pixel launcher was janky and missing some features). In my opinion this should be something everyone should do once they have their pixels set up.

Update: within a day, the update showed up along with like 12 other updates. Its like google had to process that I had a pixel before it served me the updates. I recommend waiting a day or two and then reinstalling the stock one and seeing if you can install.

Yesterday, I received my new Pixel 2... and SORPRISE! Neither me haven't the latest version (5.1). I've deleted the store's data and I haven't seen the most recent version... Why does this happen?
I only got it through the link "apkmirror.com". I'm rather disappointed with Google.
Check Permissions
Check the Play Store permissions. As soon as I accepted the Location permission, all of the missing updates, including the camera showed up.
