[Q] Random App Looking to update itself (МТС Мобильная Почта)
right so im updating my apps and notice one called МТС Мобильная Почта
now i don't remember installing this so have a look at the comments nobody's very happy about having this on their phone and are having trouble finding it to uninstall it.
the market link is strange doesn't work on a browser where im not logged into google just comes up 404 but on chrome shows description but if i hit the view other apps by the same dev it doesn't show up either
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.seven.Z7 (bear in mind that it may not work)
some screenshots from the phone and desktop are below
does anyone know what it is and what it does and how to get rid of it?

Just have a look in /system/app. I think you can still view this folder even if you're not rooted. (but to move anything OUT of it, you WILL need root)
If the folder contains "SevenEngine.apk", (which is the .apk for Social Hub) then even if it "wasn't pre-installed", then it's there.
That file, once moved out, will remove the "Play Store" entry entirely.
Worked for me. I had it frozen with Titanium Backup before, but this stupid MTC app showed up today. I'm guessing Google updated something on their end to make market links more persistent.
Once I moved SevenEngine.apk out of /system/app, the Russian MTC market entry saying it had an update disappeared.
Of course, if you actually use Social Hub, then this is probably not ideal for you.
EDIT to add: see this post on another thread about this problem. May work for those not rooted. At least, until Market gets re-updated to the current version of "Play Store".

This does indeed work, deleted SevenEngine.apk & now it is no longer asking for an update.

I am on a non-rooted SGS2 and have cleared the MTC Russian update from appearing. All I did was clear the cache for the Play Store via Settings>Applications>Manage applications>Google Play Store>Clear cache.
