Hi All,
This is my first post and apologies in advance if I have not put this in the correct forum.
I have activated the dual messenger functionality on my samsung galaxy J7 (2018) model running android Oreo 8.0.0
Only Whatsapp messenger was chosen to be activated - skype and other messenger apps have not been activated.
What I have noticed is that progressively system apps are started to be duplicated in the app list and also have the orange symbol in the bottom right hand corner of the app icon. I can only find these in the app list - applications such as app detective do not list the duplicated app in their app lists. It should be noted that power and memory consumption apps do list the duplicated system apps as running or using resources.
To date the following apps have been duplicated without my prompting:
Android System
Android System Webview
Badgeprovider
Chrome
Google Play services
Google Services Framework
Google Text to speech engine
Key Chain
Phone
Settings (triplicated)
Settings Storage
Is this normal for this functionality - the duplicated instances are of slightly different sizes and use different memory. I just cant find anything anywhere that explains why these are gradually appearing in my app list. I have tried disabling one instance - but it will be labelled as disabled but continues to use memory and mobile data.
Your help in advance is appreciated.
Regards
JD

Hello everybody
This is my first post so I'm stressed a bit
Some times ago I had the Android OS on my Kaiser. There was the simple app called CallTrack. This little app can send your call history to selected Google Calendar. I searched similar app for Windows Mobile and I didn't find any, so I decided to make my own solution. That was the beginning of Google Calendar Call Logger. This simple app does the same as CallTrack.
Main features:
- Storing Google login (email) and password (both encrypted with simple algorythm)
- Retrieving and storing calendars from Google account (links for calendars are encrypted too)
- Automatic loading call history to main screen
- Updating Google calendar with new call history's items
The last function is most interesting. GC Call Logger retrieves all your log items stored in phone and shows them on main screen. For each of them GC checks if it exists in destination calendar and sends them if it not, so there are no duplicates.
I use the Google API to communicate with Google servers. This API contains several libraries, that must be in the same folder with main exe file (libraries are included in CAB installer).
[Updates]
8-07-2010 - initial version (1.0)
[Bugs]
- Incompatible with landscape mode (it will be added in next version (I hope )
- no exe icon (I was to lazy to made some )
- probably compatible only with QVGA devices (of course that is no problem if somebody likes scrollers )
- strange selection of active calendar (don't set as active more calendars as once, app allow it but only first will be synchronized).
- too slow
My first contact with this API was 2 days ago, so there are more bugs, I think. Don't hestitate to tell me about them.
[System requirements]
- Windows Mobile 5.0 and more (compiled for 5.0 but tested on 6.5)
- .NET CF 3.5
- QVGA device
- about 330KB free storage space
- internet connection
App is free. It can be installed on Storage Card or in main memory.
Perfect, perfect idea! Im looking for this app for long time!
As I understand it, push notification is delivered in Android by GCM, which replaced C2DM.
For this to work you need "auto-sync" switched on your device and setup for that app.
This should allow for 2 things:
Lower power and bandwidth usage by server pushing rather than phone polling and pulling information
notification works even if the app is not running, as the msg can include a INTENT to start the app
However my eBay app gets notifications after a reboot, without me starting the app and without auto-sync being switched on or eBay app appearing in its list of apps.
Any thoughts?
Is eBay auto-starting (shouldn't be according to ES task mgr) is it polling for updates (surely that is not peformance friendly).
is there any further information I can provide to help with this query?
Hello,
Your post is old, but let me bring my answer...
you should use another app to detect whether or not if your app is able to autostart or no ie : autorun manager, or the Xposed module(boot manager)
Ebay will autostart because of notification as stated in the attachment file...
I'm keeping my phone on stock for the time being because I don't want to void my warranty in case there's something wrong.
The apps I've bolded I'm guessing can be disabled, or removed by this method https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/ . I'm wondering though when it tells you not available for current user, does that mean the app can still run in the background somehow?

Lol. Well, since $130 is nothing to you, then I'm sure you'll be happy to send me a replacement phone if there's a problem with this one.
Did u ever find the problem? Mine has the same thing, but I'm thinking mine is hacked as I know nothing about phones. But I do want my privacy since I am a grown woman. It's crazy I try to uninstall it and it just goes right back on. I also bought another phone in my friends name and when I get home it starts moving and downloading all this stuff and it wasn't even set up with play store yet. It's to the point I'm going to just smash it. But $1000 is too much to just throw down the drain. Please if anyone knows what could be wrong please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Hi
We run Maas360 to control approximately 200 android mobiles. One thing lacking in this MDM is to be able to populate the contacts with important numbers. We need to be able to put an Icon on the home screen of all the mobiles so that when they tap the icon it will dial a special landline number that we have for emergencies. I have looked through a lot of the dialer apps but the all seem to use the phones contacts which we don't have any control over. Can anyone think of a way we can achieve this? Currently google chrome is greyed out on the phones due to limiting them to no internet and no playstore access.
Ideas anyone?

Hi Folks,
3 nights ago for the 2nd time only, I connected to the Internet with WiFi and I noticed some apps were being updated. Somewhere along the way Automatic Updates was reset from Off to Via Wi-Fi only. It stopped on the third.
apps_Packages info is reporting the following 3 apps, in descending Date and Time order, as being updated but they still appear listed in the screen for App Updates which is accessed from the Update Center listed on the screen for About Phone.
LG Account
RemoteCall Service
LG Mobile Switch
My intention was to to look at LG SmartWorld to see what Dark Themes they have to offer before disabling this app. I would like a System Wide theme with Black Text on a Grey or Dark Grey background.
Are themes an inherent feature of Launchers that are automatically applied to all apps?
Not too long afterwards the phone Rebooted and this would happen again after 2 or so minutes each time after I entered my PIN and started checking settings etc.
I turned off WiFi and the rebooting stopped.
I noticed afterwards that less RAM is being used by the System.
Same thing started happening again the following morning when I turned Wi-Fi on again.
Has anyone else had a similar experience?
Have I possibly disabled something that is required for WiFi to function correctly or for apps to be able to properly communicate with the Wi-Fi processes?
I had previously used the Force stop button for apps such as Gallery, Weather, My Places, Email, Exchange, QuickMemo+ etc.
There does not appear to be a Software Update to Oreo 8.0 available but the following apps are listed as having updates available. Do they need to be updated first in order for the system to "properly" check for a Software Update?
Email
Home & app drawer
LG Account
LG Keyboard
LG Mobile Switch
QuickMemo+
RemoteCall Service
Weather
What I would like to achieve is to have everything disabled as much as possible before removing the SIM Chip from my old phone and installing it into this one.
The following Apps, I want disabled, but keep appearing in the lists of Running Services and Cached Processes even after I have used the Force stop button and after every Reboot.
Email
FmService (Can this be replaced by a Third Part app?)
Gallery
My Places
QuickMemo+
RemoteCall Service
Weather
Weather Service
I want the following disabled also.
Exchange
LG Account
LG Backup
LG Health
LG Keyboard (after installing AnySoftKeyboard)
Is the only way to ensure this, without loading another ROM, to use ADB (Android Debug Bridge) and uninstall the Apps? I am using MX Linux.
I have seen various Debloat lists on this forum and there is some useful information provided via the following page.

My phone is using com.android.captiveportallogin - Version 7.0 (24). The Disable button is disabled for this app.
Which apps should not be uninstalled with the approach I am taking to mitigate privacy concerns?
For example, is it safe to uninstall the standard Contacts (com.android.contacts) and Contacts Storage (com.android.providers.contacts) apps or are they required by some of the Third Party apps, for Contacts, in order to function properly?
Can the Messaging (com.android.mms) and Phone (Call services - com.android.phone) apps be uninstalled and replaced by Third Party apps such as QKSMS and Simple Dialer?
My current Home Screen (Home & app drawer - com.lge.launcher2) had a Time and Date and Weather widget but, even though I have removed it, the Weather apps still appear in the lists for Running Services and Cached Processes after every Reboot.
Checking the Uses permissions list of apps_Packages info reveals that the Home & app drawer has references to Email, FormManager and Weather.
Could the Email, FormManager and Weather apps be prevented being used by using a different Launcher? Which Launcher?
https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.vincent_falzon.discreetlauncher
Which Weather apps are recommended as a replacement?
I also want to prevent all the Offers (Advertisements) I keep receiving from my current Service Provider via SMS.
Can this be done using the SIM Toolkit?
Is the SIM Toolkit an app that should not be uninstalled?
Should I do a Factory Reset and start again? If so, will I need to disable, again, all the Gulag (Google) apps that I previously disabled with the Disable button?
Which of the methods on the following page is the best to use?
How to hard reset an LG G5
According to the following page, "If a pattern, PIN, etc. is or has ever been set up on the device, Google account sign-in is required during initial setup."
I am using a PIN but a Google Account has never been configured for the phone.
LG G5 - Factory Data Reset (Powered Off) | Verizon
Here's how to factory / hard reset your LG G5 if the screen freezes or call, app, audio or sync issues occur and the device won't start up.
www.verizon.com
If I do a Factory Reset should I attempt to have the App Updates done before starting to disable any other apps?
What other information could I provide that would help to pinpoint the cause of this problem?
Thanks, M.
