I installed a lovely new rom (AGABEY) and went onto Play Store and noticed there was an app called MTC by OJSC Mobile Telesystems.
I understand it may be down to either Samsung or the Developer of the rom to query this but I searched and had no joy.
Has any one came across this and managed to remove it?

if you're rooted, you can freeze or uninstall it via titanium backup
That would be the app for Russia only would it ???
Been listed since GB 2.3.3 .

Me too.
This came up for me too, last night, but I'm running stock Touchwiz/gingerbread 2.3.3.
I've rooted and unlocked my phone and have Clockworkmod but that's it.
Phone is a gt-i9100m running KG2. Carrier is Virgin Canada.
I'm more concerned about why this is came up. The app of course wants every permission in the book. Has my carrier, or phone, been compromised?
I'm super paranoid about giving Superuser. The only app with an automatic Accept is Terminal Emulator. So it's not some rogue root usage causing this.
Turns out this is a bug in the market, where carrier-provided apps on your phone will confuse the market into thinking they are a different, existing Market application.
Unsure whether doing this update would replace the carrier-provided app, whichever it is, with this strange Russian one..
Google "Karoges" for more details on a similar issue, where a test app shows up in place of the stock Samsung video player.
Regardless of whether this is harmless or a potential vector for attack, it needs to be resolved on Google Play's end. I submitted a Bug feedback, please do the same if you come across this!

I noticed that test app aswell. I tried a few apps with freezing. (Rom Toolbox) but that didn't display it. I will give Titanium a go but I have a feeling it won't display the two apps (Unless you have had success then thank you!).
Only time you really notice it is when your on the new Google Play with the two options in "My Apps". "Installed" and "All".
I have not seen it since 2.3.3 but then again i have no stock rom since then .
Is it actually on your phone if so it should be locatable on a rooted phone .

I deleted the 'AP mobile' App but this is still in my apps list waiting for an update. Its strange that I couldn't see this in my installed apps list from the Google Play Store, but an update is waiting.
The only app from OJSC Mobile Telesystems in the app store is their MTS Voicemail+ app, which is russian language only. May be the default voicemail app on my phone is bugged.
Update:
It doesnt install even if you download.
This has just turned up on my GS2 (Tmobile UK) , I can't get rid of it and I'm not rooted . Would appreciate some help in getting rid of this, as I think it is a virus.
It has appeared in my updates too, seems a lot of people have it turning up in the google play store to be updated. I just flagged it also!

Russian app appeared after I installed sever gallery apps... Hope we can remove it...
Got this in my phone with XWLP2 also. Along with this I have Testfile by SFUKUDA in my installed app list.
This app appeared too in my google play store. Deleting the social hub app (there are two, the one with the little blue icon was the right one i think) with titanium backup removed this of my apps list. Hope this helps

Aye this worked for me too. Removed the samsung social hub app with titanium backup. It is indeed the one with an envelop icon with a little blue S on it
How can non-rooted users delete those 2 apps?
Is there a way to temp root my phone? So I can delete them with titanium?

Freezing the social hub (rather than removing it) seems to be good enough to persuade the unwanted app to disappear from Google Play.
I presume this is popping up because we've installed an Eastern European ROM
(Polish in my case) in our haste to get ICS?

So I use the Amazon app store and GetJar for free 'paid' apps. Some of these apps are showing up in "My Library" on my Google Android Market account. Is there a way to remove them from the Android Market account?
One recent problem is Wave Launcher which used to be free on GetJar. I don't see it listed anymore on GetJar and I can't even buy it from the Android Market since it thinks it's already purchased (but declines the 'install' saying it's not purchased). A 'delete' button like in the Amazon app store library would solve all of this...
Short of changing google accounts, I don't see any options on how to fix this. Anyone have any ideas? The problem is on my market library, not my phone (I know how to remove market links, etc.). Thanks.
I to have this problem its very annoying their has to be a way to clean it up.
I actually used the 'report' app function on the google market and got a reply back. They have "forwarded your case to a specialist to begin working to resolve your issue as soon as possible". We'll see what comes of it. Amazon's app store has a simple delete button in that library. It doesn't seem like that would be too hard to implement.
did you ever get a reply for this?
would love to be able to remove all the apps i just simply try for the sake of testing and i want them gone.....
listen to your users G!
I believe Titanium Backup can do this if you are rooted.

On the website I don't see an option, but it is possible on your phone.
I am not sure if all versions of the play store have this option (I am using Jelly Bean 4.1.2):
When I open the play store on my phone I can remove previous installed apps from the list.
Go to: Play Store > My Apps > All
There you can remove an app by tapping the Ø icon

I have this issue as well--phone app has no provision for deleting the apps, on JB ROM.
One of my friend have installed a pirated app of swiftkey...now the market have started throwing error for him for swiftkey and it had stopped giving predictions. He came to me asking for help. I told him i can only help in case he purchase it (and sale was also going on) so when he went to his market to buy it shows there already purchased (even after uninstalling from phone). I tried for him by detaching the app from the market from titanium backup but still it shows there. Cleared all cache and data for the app and market and still no avail. Is there any way to fix this or will have to go ahead and buy from another google account and have multiple accounts added in market ?
*(sorry for informal english and any grammatical errors that might have made their way in)*
Thanks much in advance!!
I have never heard of a pirated app showing as 'purchased' in the app store.
Uninstall the app.
Clear app store cache and data. Reboot.
if it shows as purchased, just reinstall. If not, buy it.
It seems like he wants the legit app and not the pirated one. If the app store shows it as purchased, and he/you, whoever, downloads it, it will be the legit app. The app store will not give you a pirated version.
I see no problem here, other than your friend pirates apps.

No it doesn't work like that. When I get free apps off amazon the market sometimes shows when they need to be updated. If you try to update them, it gives you an error saying you didn't pay for it. If you uninstall the app, it will still show up as purchased, and you won't be able to purchase it or install it.

No it shows. Normally when u install apps from Amazon or use some apk for testing then those apps too show as purchased in the market. U cant reinstall from the market and neither can purchase them. Market doesnt allow you to repurchase the purchased item(though infact it was never purchased).
I have tried detaching it from market though TiB but still this doesnt get fixed.
Not sure if reflashing the whole rom after a full wipe will help.
Anybody??

You could try buying it from the market website. Apps not installed from the market will not show under My Apps but if you search for the app on your device it will show as installed since it probably detects the app on the device itself.

No luck there too. Web market also shows that the app is purchased. Guess its synced to google market's servers and even reflashing wont work after full wipe.

That is weird that it happens that way. It has not happened to me and I use amazon market and have pushed many apps to my phone. I have not encountered this. Also, android market has never prompted me to update an app that I got from Amazon.
Not saying it does not happen, it seems obvious that it does, it just has not happened to me.
Is the app available on Amazon market? If so, can he just purchase it from there?

Was referring the Amazon apps case as stated by Waddle in the above post. And sadly Amazon not available in our country
I seem to have this issue as well. Trying to move away from amazon market and re-purchase my apps on the android market, however the amazon purchased apps are showing in my android market as purchased and I can't get rid of it.
Any other ideas on how this can be fixed?
sign in with another google id and you can buy it again.But this way has it draw backs too..
I have the same problem with swiftkey... I got it from the GetJar store a few months ago but it was an old version and i uninstalled it. now I cant buy it from the market as it is shown as purchased. and as said by abhisahara nothing seems to help.
cant anyone think of something to do?
Same thing going on here
oddly enough, I had dead space and shadowgun then i saw the 50% off and i uninstalled both from my android and then i went and purchased dead space and it worked but then went to purchase shadowgun and it shows as purchased and i cannot neither download it nor purchase it. It is becoming annoying. Any ideas?
have you tried uninstalling it from within the market app on your Android device?
My forum colleague found a way. Here is the solution - it's a croatian forum so i will write it here in english.
1. open Google play (Market) in Chrome browser (on your desktop/laptop) and find the wanted app (best would be that you backup the app via Ttitanium backup if you can, and uninstall it)
2. right click at PURCHASED, and select Inspect element
3. above the selected row you'll see data-ispurchased="true". Look at the screenshot (if the sshot doesn't work, PM me)
4. change"true" in "false" and select enter (on your keyboard)
5. now click PURCHASED that will open the popup for buy via google wallet so you can purchase the app (of course, you must have a valid credit or visa card and a registered wallet account for this to work)
it worked for me. bought two apps, cut the rope and quell reflect.
maybe it works in other browser, didn't try it.
had some problems with downloading the second app. had re-change the inspect element to true. and after the re-check the app started downloading on my phone.
thanks to my pce forum colleague Lacy for this info.
It really works, I've been looking for ages !
After a few tries and uninstalling the app from my phone, I could purchase it. No more update worries !

Hi,
Since trying out all these new ROMs out there (hats off to their wonderful work), I've noticed that the att modded roms have a market feature that's been driving me batty. I'm not saying its the at&t roms, but I've just noticed this since I started these roms.
The"my app" section used to have a list of the installed apps, and below it was a list on the apps I've purchased, which is cool.
What I've noticed recently in the"my apps" section is a page with the installed apps, then if I swipe to the right, the page shows all the purchased apps, plus all the other apps I've installed since I've started using the market (ones I've stopped using out didn't like and uninstalled). Which I'd cluttered and annoying when reloading apps.
My question is, if it is the version of the market, can I load the Rogers version of the market, out if that isn't practical, can I devourer this list somehow?
Not a huge issue, but an annoyance.
Thank you in advance.

Play needs filters!
Google needs to have a way to sort purchased apps from every other app I downloaded within the past 6 months, which is MANY. I have to scroll 3 pages then might see one purchased app, scroll two more pages to see another couple...

What that guy said.
I find it easier to manage my apps from a computer. I just log onto my google account and then send the apps to the device I want them on...
https://play.google.com/apps
market, website bug
Using PC was my bright idea, untill I figured out, that it only shows you about 10 pages of your apps, alphabeticaly, and there is no way to show next one, so my list ends on letter G.
Also using market on the device after choosing to install an app from the list, I am returned to the beginning of the [email protected]#! Major annoyance.
Also I have restored the device and then logged back in using same account, only to figure that it will not put all the apps back on...
So, if I could have a suggestion- could we have ability to have an app list to install in one click on a new device? Or at the least could we have our apps list with boxes for checkmarks, so we can check all of the nessesary apps and then install them?.... sigh
Hey guys,
I just bought my note today after wanting it for some time.
question, my Samsung apps app won't open. All it does is go directly to google play. It says the application needs an update. But when I try updating google market tells me the app isn't available for my carrier. (att).
What's going on here? I'm trying to download some note specific apps. Like zen brush with pressure sensitivity.
What are some good drawing apps. And is there any way to calibrate the pen?
Thanks everyone

Not sure about the Samsung apps. can you uninstall then re install? I heard one way that might help the pen is to change the dominant hand to ur non dominant then back to your dominant. I haven't tried it. Try Monkey Write...you can learn Chinese.

When you pull up "My Apps" in the Play store menu, does it show Samsung Apps as being installed? When you then click on it what options does it give you? Open/Uninstall? Open/Upgrade?
If there is an upgrade it should be available from there.
Many of the stock apps can be updated but require manually searching for each one, tapping on the app, then tapping the install / update button. Note that once an app is manually updated, you no longer need to search manually to update them in the future, they will show up as 'Installed' under My Apps. Alternatively, if you have Titanium Backup (requires root), you can link all the apps on your phone to the market which will allow all of these apps listed below to be listed under the 'My Apps' in the Playstore (which will allow you to tap 'Update All' button instead of manually searching one by one for each).
Stock apps that can be manually updated:
Adobe Flash Player
AT&T Navigator: GPS navigation
Featured Apps (Phone)
Gmail
Google Play Books
Google Play Music
Google Search
Kies Air
(Google) Maps
Media Hub-ATT 4G Smartphones
S Memo
Samsung Apps
Street View on Google Maps
Talkback
(Google) Voice Search
Youtube
YP Yellow Pages & Gas Prices
Try updating Samsung Apps and Featured Apps first.
Also, you might need to delete your Google account information (Accounts under Settings and long press on your account) and then re-add your account information (which can be done in the same screen OR by launching the market and you will then be prompted to re-enter your account information).
Oh, maybe also try clearing the data for the market (settings->Applications, 'All' button at the top, scroll to market and tap it, force stop, clear cache, clear data) and restart the market. The market does receive over the air updates automatically from Google and if the market on your phone isnt current, it could cause wonky issues. The way I usually force an update is to first clear the market data, launch the market and wait for it to fully load. Check the version number. If it isnt current, reboot and relaunch the market. Repeat rebooting and relaunching the market until its current (worst case scenario it took me 3-4 reboots).
Current version of the market is 3.5.16 (for the AT&T Note on STOCK firmware - it will be different depending on your phone model and Android version so if you have another phone or a different OS aside from the stock Gingerbread rom, it may not match this version number) and you can check this by opening the market, tap the menu button, hit settings, and scroll all the way to the bottom.
If all else fails, try a factory reset. Its a new phone so you shouldnt have much to backup before you do so (Settings->Privacy). This will require you to re-update the market (see above). Im almost positive any previously updated stock apps will have to be re-updated as well.
And, I should have probably asked this at the top, the Note you bought, did you buy it at the AT&T store or is it an unlocked Note you bought somewhere else?
Im running saurom and i also cant download samsung apps or note optimized apps such as zen brush or omnisketch. I have tried clearing play store data but still nothing. It keeps saying your device is not compatible
Okay well can't clear any Samsung apps data from application manager.
Google play is latest version. Samsung apps isn't under my installed apps. When I search for it I get an open or update option. When I update get the same error saying not available on your carrier.
When I open it. Get an error message saying not able to connect to market for update.
I'm attaching the screen I get in Samsung apps.
Phone isn't rooted yet. And wouldn't like to do a reset.
Does anyone have an Apk for Samsung apps or for the Samsung s pen enabled zen brush or omni sketch?

Also when i go into samsung apps and look at s pen apps such as omnisketch, zen brush, comic book.. etc and when i click install on them it takes me to the play store where it says my device is incompatible?? How do i fix this ? Any help would be appreciated.
I also have tit backup how could I use that to make Samsung apps to show up in my apps in the market

Okay guys well I have a fix.
All I had to do was uninstall the update for google play in application manager.
So then play turned back into the market. Logged into the market looked up and downloaded Samsung apps no problem then updated google play.
Seems like there's a dpi issue with google pay. That's why there's an app that changes dpi (root required) that also fixes google play issues.

That's good you got your Samsung apps working. My dpi is stock its 320. My Samsung apps started working but the apps inside dint work if you get what I'm saying. Like when I click on some apps to download them it says my device is incompatible. Has this happened to you? I think it's a dpi issue in the play store but my dpi is stock and I even un installed store data but it still doesn't work. Do you have a fix for this?

Did you try what was suggested? Open Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->'ALL' Tab at the top->Market->Uninstall Updates.
Then relaunch the market and let it update.
There are occasionally issues with the market not converting to the Play store as well, for this, you need to remove your account and re-add it (Settings->Accounts->Long Press on your account->Remove Account. After removing your account, reboot and in re-open the market and you'll be prompted for that information.

Open TB and tap the menu button, Im not 100% sure where it is but you are looking for Market Doctor (I think its under tools or more, like the lower right option in the menu that comes up). Tap that and there will be a dialog for what type of apps you want to link to the market. Tap the System+User apps option.
Yes ive done those steps. I have tried removing my account and reinstalling it as well as clearing play store data. Everything works except its the same as last time some apps dont install from samsung apps and they are the spen optimized apps, it still says device incompatible and when i just try searching in the play store they dont even show up.
Okay so I used titanium backup market doctor to link my Samsung apps to the store because it wasn't showing up before. I linked it and a notification came up successfully saying it was linked but when I looked in the play store it wasn't linked and it didn't show up. When I search for Samsung apps in play store it doesn't show up and when I google to get a link to play store it says the device is incompatible (same thing happens with apps like zen brush and omni Sketch). I also checked my dpi it is stock and hasn't changed.

I would suggest a factory reset then from within whatever current rom you are using.
Ill see if I can figure anything out.
Best drawing app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.pogi.DrawingPad&hl=en
Has pressure sensitivity.. worth the price.
Under ICS pressure does not work though, but works perfect on stock / GB roms.
I just went back to my stock rom and bam i am no longer getting the incompatible message but my samsung apps is still stuck but i will try the steps and see if it fixes it on the stock rom

I tried uninstalling updates from play market and clearing data but i still couldnt find samsung apps in the market and when i open samsung apps it just stays at the beginning page saying stay tuned we will notify you when the app becomes available

So i kept doing the wipe data uninstall google play and like on the 6th time opening the app ( i couldnt find it on the market/play store) it prompted me to do an update and it started installing and i checked automatically update. After it was done it finally worked however i still dont see it on my installed apps in the play store? Is this a problem? Should i worry that it doesnt show up?
Does anybody know what this is?i always get it when i turn the internet connection on.

that does not look good. maybe you got yourself a virus there.
you should check your installed apps for suspicious / fake ones. also have a look at the app list in titanium backup, which will also show apps, that do not show up in the app drawer.
but in general, if i were you, i would fully wipe the device, including the internal and external sd card, flash your rom again and instead of restoring apps from a backup, let them re-install from the play store (only safe ones of course).
maybe someone that can read chinese can tell you the exact contents of that notification, but i am 97% sure that it is not something good and your personal data and privacy might be at stake.
you havent at any time installed hotmail app of google play have you??
I had similar thing happen, in chinese, and after debugging the system i narrowed it down to the hotmail app, i was getting like 40 or 50 empty mssge boxes a day, once i uninstalled it, it stopped.
From the screenshot, that is advertisement in Chinese language.
I would recommended you to recall the last application that you have install to the phone, remove it and see did it help?
At the same time, both applicationa that can be found in Google Play may help to prevent similar issue happened in future. ^^

Both freeware below that you can grab from Play Store can assist to list down the installed apps by date:
AppZorter Lite for TouchWiz
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.demidoes.appzorter.lite
Easy Uninstaller

Hope this help.

Good thing you've solved the problem.
I assume you were receiving Airpush ads; and to prevent this happening in the future, and also for others who come across these, I recommend Addons Detector from the Play Market. It finds the culprit app.
