What the heck is this, and how do we disable it
its listed as com.samsung.map and I don't see where its located so I can disable it, Google Maps is always running its location service so I'm not sure we need this other one.
Have any of you found and disabled this with no ill effects?
This might be only ICS related, I don't remember this on GB

I've seen it in TiBu but haven't tried to freeze it or anything.
Tibu?

TiBu = Titanium Backup
It's an app in the market that requires root but allows you to backup various aspects of your phone.

After reinstalling apps from a backup/restore app they are working properly on the phone but dont show up under "my apps" in the market. Ive experienced this before with changing roms and was always able to fix via settings, manage apps, market, clear data. Now the clear data option isnt available. Anyone else experiencing this of have any solutions
I sure have, use titanium backup and long press the app on the list off apps and chose force link to market and you will be all set!

Actually an easier fix is, in titanium backup hit menu and choose more then market doctor, let me know if it works for you!

How can one use Titanium Backup? The phone isn't rooted yet. If there is a workaround, I'd love to know!

You can't titanium backup requires root, but you wouldn't really need to backup apps unless your flashing different roms which would require root

I used my backup pro to restore apps after a new rom. Now all of the apps I got through the amazon market are showing as purchased in the google market. Is there a was to completely remove them from the google market. I tried uninstalling bus as soon as it is reinstalled the google market thinks its was installed from there and wants to give it an update, which fails. Also, a few apps i got from amazon for free I want to actually purchase to support the DEV and they already show as purchased in google and will not let me do so. Any thoughts?
*edit* ignore my sig, its old
Never used backup pro but titanium backup has the option to delete market link from specific apps.

Well if you paid for them you can just re-download them from the Amazon market instead of restoring them.

I have same issue. For some apps I uninstalled them, then reinstalled them from the amazon marketplace. It didn't work. They still show up in the android market, and it says they need updates (even though they were just reinstalled from amazon marketplace). I think what's needed is a Titanium backup option to "fix amazon market link", or some other way to accomplish that.

You need to disable and re-enable your device from the web site. It's happened to me a couple of times.

...looks like it worked. Thanks.
By deactivate do you mean set it to not show in menus? That's the only option I see

He means goto amazon app store on a pc and disable your phone from there, then reenable.

You can delete. Just be careful when doing so

I would recommend a full nandroid backup before deleting stuff, just in case.then a full titanium backup, in case you mess up with one app. Then start uninstalling. there are lists of what is safe to remove. Or you can freeze, then if everything is ok after a day or two of use, uninstall the app.

Thanks for the replies. I uninstalled a bunch of bloat ware crap. Everything is running smoothly still

if i freeze an app is that the same as deleting?? of coarse i know if u delete you get the extra space..but other than that is there a real difference?
Freezing stops it from running, it's like uninstalling without losing the files. One you confirm the file isn't necessary for anything you use, then you can uninstall.

Lately I've been having an issue where titanium backup has been freezing up. I'm on Saurom VI (Att) with transfuzion 3.2. I'll go into TiBu, start a back up or scroll through the list of apps and it will black out then ask to wait or force close. I've tried fixing permissions, reinstalling TiBu, enabling superuser and reinstalling superuser so I did a nandroid restore. Anyone else having an issue?

Seems silly to suggest but is usb debugging on
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using XDA App
Yeah, but it's not like I just enabled it. Haven't had any issues. The only thing I did today was install the transparent Google play and the transfuzion dialer update. Doesn't seem like a reason TIbu would fc. I just saw a thread regarding the issue so I'm going to read it now. Thanks for the thought/ idea.

There's a thread going on here for this already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1571281
In the international forum, they were suggesting to chat the Play store/market app data and change some settings in TiBu. However that didn't work.
I actually ended up going back to a previous day's nandroid backup and it solved the problem. I do think that it is related to the market, though.
I haven't seen a list of bloatware / AT&T apps that are safe to remove. So I thought I will ask:
- Which apps that you know are NOT SAFE to remove?
- I keep seeing in the task bar a double-arrow icon, indicating that an AT&T app is checking for software update. As a matter of fact, I did receive a message from it about a new software update. Which .apk I need to disable for this?
Again, this is only for the bloatware.
I deleted everything that had at&t in front of it. At&t messaging, my at&t, at&t navigation and the at&t update services thats the blue and red arrows you are seeing. I did this through task manager.

Thanks for the info. No problem so far with freezing these AT&T apps, including AT&T Update Services?
BTW, when you said "delete", did you mean "freezing it with Titanium Backup" or you actually REMOVE the .apk?
I froze the above apps using TB, but it is still shown in Google Play as being installed and needing update.
You can search XDA for "apps safe to remove". The SGS-II forums have a spreadsheet that works for the note.
Sent from my A200 using xda premium
With Google Play, the feature to DETACH from Market no longer works. So even if the app is frozen, it is still shown in Google Play, especially if there is an update.
This applies to ALL bloatware. After a while, you'll see tons of these in your Google Play list and you no longer can select
"Update All".
Can we SAFELY move the .Apk from /system/apps?
I deleted them. I froze them first and then deleted ecerything with at&t on it through task manager.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I delete a majority of the bloatware, especially if I know I will never use it.
How did you DELETE these built-in apps?
There is NO uninstall feature, even when accessing it from System --> Applications --> Manage Applications.

If you have root on your phone, many third party apps will allow you to delete them. A popular one around here is Titanium Backup. I highly suggest installing this and purchasing the key (although the free version will work just as well). Its a staple in apps to install for rooted phones.
I deleted them through task manager. I used the uninstall feature. Try it.

Just a helpfull hint for safety.
Personaly I would use titanium backup (in batch) to freeze apps you may want to uninstall.. leave them frozen for a few days to ensure there are no problems.. if once your sure there are no problems you can uninstall them (delete).. Uninstall can be done most of the time though the task manager .. but if that does not work titanium backup will most defently do it..
As someone else pointed out.. I did a search for i717 app safe to remove and got this nice spread sheet..
