I installed v20a on my G3 which came with Google Play Services 1557022-730
I updated this with Google Play Services 6.5.87 1599771-438 after reading that this the correct file for Android 5
Not sure if I should have done this. I'm not having any issues but think I should ideally install a 730 variant. The trouble is I can't find one anywhere.
Anyone have a 730 apk or know where I can get one? APK Mirror has every variant apart from 730.

I think you'd have to downgrade. I installed the 6.5.87 438 too. Didn't see anything weird, apart from the usual nlp wakelocks.
i installed that version too, but some things don't work, such as smart lock (for me), and when connecting to smartwatches, it says 'sync loop', it is connected, but drains too much battery.

Oh... I wouldn't know, I don't use any of those features. I have severe slowdowns due to synching, but I'm greenifying Google Play Services, and I think it doesn't like when I do this.
Seems the new version compatible with lollipop has been pushed today so I guess no need to tinker with this apk file
Guess this is the one to install now:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...oogle-play-services-6-5-87-1599771-430-2-apk/
In case another version was installed (like 438 or whatever) that needs to be uninstalled (in order to do that disable the Play Services - Android Manager from Security -> Device Admins; uninstall updates; apply the new version and re-enable things in security).
LE: Trusted places is enabled with this new version but I am not sure it actually works
LE2: Trusted places indeed works! Just my location was off.

In my case, it works at home but not at work (maybe GPS reception is bad inside the building)
What I did to make it work was "teach" it some locations based on network which seemed quite accurate but weren't spot on as the GPS ones (and also my home location seemed to be way off before - guess I set it up randomly before since it was in the general "ballpark").
Off topic but helpful (I hope):
Also as a tip, if you want to force the lock screen (and temporary disable smart lock) you can just tap the "lock" icon that appears on the screen - for me that was not that obvious (though now makes sense since it kinda works as in stock lollipop).
Still LG kinda made a mess of the screen and it's a shame they use only half of it for notifications and keep the bottom half restricted for unlock options. Maybe in new versions they will reconsider a strategy similar to what stock does ... but that is highly off - topic.

On APK mirror is mentioned that the 730 versions turned in 430 versions. I have 430 installed now and seems to work just fine. At the moment I couldn't find a 730 newer that 6.1.88 which comes preinstalled.
I just flashed the (slightly) newer version of 20a - had the lgbbs version before - and this came with Google Play Services 438.

There is the Poland version which comes with 6.1.88 (730) and the lgbbs version which I am not sure what contains (I didn't check when I had that installed). Which slightly newer one did you flash?
Nevertheless 438 seems reasonable, being the highest dpi available, however I can attest to the fact that on the 20A Polish version with 438 I didn't get trusted locations however that gets enabled with 430 (of course using play services version 6.5.87).
I got the one from this xda thread
Doesn't seem any different apart from coming with Google Play Services 438. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, only just finished setting things up.
Interesting, I got 730 ... well, good to know, I am curious though if you flash play services 438 from apkmirror if Trusted Location gets enabled ... would be interesting to know ...

Trusted locations only appeared after I enabled GPS - by default the G3 has battery saving location mode set.
Having said that the trusted location is a bit too wide to be secure. I use Tasker to switch off security when connected to my home network.
Hi,
Recently I have bought the Samsung Galaxy Watch and the problem is that the Galaxy Wearable app not available in my Play Store. After searching through the net, some advice from Reddit found that the culprit is my unlocked bootloader (probably the cause is the built-in Samsung Pay). With a little help from apkmirror, I have found a workaround for this issue and hope it helps someone have the same situation as me.
Step 1: Download Galaxy Wearable app at https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/samsung-gear/
Step 2 (important): Download Galaxy Watch Plugin https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsung-electronics-co-ltd/galaxy-watch-plugin/
After pairing the Galaxy Watch with the phone, the Galaxy Wearable app will automatically download Samsung Accessory Service app and finish the process. You're now good to go. Cheers
P/S: One down-side of this workaround is that you have to update these apps manually.

As far as I know, most of the Samsung app can be updated if go to Settings->About screen. Wearable app is one of them.

Nope, I have tried it. If you have an unlocked bootloader, only the Samsung Accessory Service can be updated. The other two aren't available on Play Store so it's a no-go
It's available to me, and I have unlocked my bootloader on my Moto G5+. This could be more specifically about passing Safetynet, though this is just a guess.
I've been looking all over for this, big thanks!
Samsung Pay
Any workaround to use Samsung Pay with Galaxy Watch while the bootloader of the phone is unlocked?
PS: Non-Samsung Phone, No root, Galaxy Watch LTE.
Hi,
I have a Mi Max 3 6gb/128gb Chinese phone with an unlocked bootloader and Global Rom.
It is MIUI version 10.3.5.0 and Android 9 PKQ1.181007.001.
I have bought a Galaxy Active Watch 2, and am confused slightly about the correct way to get this working.
Does installing the apps from apkmirror as stated above always work?
Is the problem that the unlocked bootloader stops the app from being downloaded from the play store, and thus if you get the app elsewhere it will work?
Or is the problem that the app itself detects the unlocked bootloader? OR, is it that it all works if you load from another source, but the Samsung Pay part (I don't care much about this) won't work?
I have read that the only way to do this is to relock the bootloader (don't want to do as my phone will apparently brick itself if I do an OTA update) or to root and install Magisk, which I don't really want to do.
Any help/clarifications appreciated,
Thanks so much.

Can't picture the use case, but no, need a PC to enable/disable.
I had to go to a different app CCSWE in app store.

Anyone plz let me know what to disable for security updates and things of that nature. Thanks
Package disabler pro works for me on my note 10. It's not available in the play store and hasnt been for some time. I purchased it directly from the dev site. Believe its 3.00 usd. Just installed it today and it works perfectly, even after the new software update
Devs behind Package Disabler Pro are scam artists. The apps work, but they are always deleting them then releasing a new version a few weeks later. Usually after a new phone comes out.
They've probably done this 5-6 times since I got the my first app from them. I asked them about giving me a license since I already paid, and they basically told me it's Samsung's fault it gets removed and I have to pay again to make up for the trouble.
Ha! No thanks.

Wait, so you need a PC in order to disable or enable an app through adb but yet you can't picture a use case for apps like package disabler pro?
What about apps you don't use often? Isn't it better to disable them until you need to use them so android don't have them running in the background for no reason?
So what if you're using a different launcher than the stock launcher wouldn't it make sense to disable stock launcher until you need it?
I can go on but the best part is that you don't need a PC to do it.

I don't think you even need package disabler for that, you can just go into developer options and disable auto update from there. Or in package disabler in system apps you should see one that is called "update" or something like that.

That's good to hear I bought it from the play store, not sure why I didn't just buy it from their website since Google or Samsung can't block that one.

Actually it's Samsung that requests that Google block the app in the playstore. They plainly tell you to buy it from their website because that way Samsung or Google can't block it. So instead of paying 5-6 times why didn't just buy it from their website once?

No need to get defensive. It is better to disable so android isn't running them in the background, I just can't think of an app I'd ever need to enable/disable on the fly. Certainly not the stock launcher, that can stay permanently disabled.

I guess you can't read...I only paid for it once, I said they've re-added it 5-6 times since I purchased it. I asked them for a license since I already paid for it once and they told me I had to rebuy it because of the trouble Samsung causes them.
If you read reviews about them, they are notorious for doing what I said. Not once did they ever tell me I could get the app directly from them by the way, it's always been to rebuy it from the app store. They don't list a website on the play store and the email address is where they told me to keep rebuying it in the play store
Not to mention, they always name it the same thing. I can't for a minute believe that google keeps allowing them to re-upload the app with the same name over and over again if Samsung is getting it removed. lol.
yes, let us just keep covering for shady companies who find a way to force additional sales of their product through "forced" rebuys.
Thanks that what I did. just to be safe I wanna disable the packages

Not defensive/aggressive in the slightest. It's just that I use it all the time and I disable pretty much every app I'm not currently using as in every app gets disabled until I need it, with a few exceptions. Android/Google/Samsung services are not killing my battery in the background. But to each his own.

Well apparently I can't read. But the first time Samsung disable their app and I contacted them they directed me to their website where I could get a proper version that won't get disabled.
Well who knows maybe they are crooks like you've said. But then it begs the question, how come the version on their website doesn't get disabled like the one on the play store?

So you are saying they also made you pay twice? I still wouldn't be happy with that. I paid for the license, it's not my fault Samsung got their app removed. I'd have to dig, but I have the emails where they told me I had to pay again because of Samsung causing them trouble. They could easily issue a code to let me claim the license I already paid for.
I don't think they really want website sales, but will take them as a last ditch effort. Can't claim Samsung made you delete it off your own website.
If they wanted the sales on their website, then they would have their website listed on google play. Then someone like me who searches for the app like today, where it doesn't exist again, could look at one of their other apps and find my way to buy it.
For what it's worth, they do the same thing with the LG version of the app. They delete it at least once a year then release it again. Not sure what excuse they use on that one.
Edit: I will give them one last chance, I sent them an email again to see if they would make good. See if things have changed.
How about a list of apps people have removed successfully without issues.

This is definitely true. I have been re-buying this app almost every time I get a new samsung phone (been upgrading every 6 months to S and Note series since the Note 5/7/S7 Edge, so that is at least 10 different devices. I am pretty sure I have re-bought it every time! However I have always used google opinion rewards money so it was basically free for me, now that they only sell the working version on their site I am done with them.
Hi Everyone,
I've been searching the site and online for an answer, but no luck.
I have the Galaxy S20+, but this is really a question that pertains to all Galaxy phones. A lot of the Samsung phone's native apps (Camera, Gallery, etc.) will have a "N" icon in Settings, telling you there is a new update for the app that you can install. For this, you have to go through the Galaxy Store. I have disabled access to the store and most other Samsung apps I don't use (Bixby, etc.) because I don't want to sign up for anything Samsung and don't want to create an account with them since I already have my Google account attached to the phone.
Now, going to the Google Play store from the the Camera or Gallery apps, it shows that I have them installed and even allows me to open the app from their store. But unlike other apps that I actually downloaded from Google Play, it won't give me the option to update from Google. It just lets me open the app.
So my question in short is can I, or how can I, update these Samsung apps through the Google Play Store instead of the Galaxy Store? If they show up in the Google Play Store, there must be a way since they are linked.
Side note, I can't uninstall most apps (especially the Camera and Gallery apps) and them re-download them from Google Play, in case anyone was curious.
Any direction or help will be much appreciated. Thanks!
I did an update to the Samsung Members app in the Play Store just the other day after originally installing it via the Galaxy Store (S20U).
I know some of the Samsung apps appear on the Galaxy Store before they reach the Play Store and for apps I've checked I have both Uninstall and Open buttons in both stores. Don't see why it wouldn't be possible for certain apps.

Short answer: Yes and no.
As you discovered, some Samsung apps are available in the Google Play Store. Those can be updated via the Play Store. The other Samsung apps must be updated via Samsung Galaxy Store or sideloaded (the best source is Samsung apk mirror).
Having a Samsung account doesn't force you to use their apps. I have a Samsung account, but I disabled all of their apps except for Calculator, Galaxy Wearable, Good Lock, My Files, and One Hand Operation+, and having a Samsung account doesn't affect my battery or usage habits whatsoever.

Thanks everyone.
Sublimaze, I think this is the most helpful answer. Thanks. I have a couple of follow-up questions from your response:
- I know a little about sideloading, but I'm not fully versed. But say I download the Samsung Camera and Gallery apps from Apkmirror, how do I install them if my Galaxy S20+ device doesn't let me uninstall Camera and Gallery? In the settings, I can't even disable them (it's greyed out). Maybe these two app examples are exceptions and I can't do anything about it? I will say many (if not all) of the Samsung apps I see on my device do not give me the option to disable or uninstall
- When you sideload an app, how do you receive updates or update the app in the future? Is it a one-and-done situation, or will I be able to do updates on Google Play moving forward? Or, will I be stuck and never be able to do updates, with the only way being is to just keep installing newer versions when they come out on Apkmirror?
- And finally, is Apkmirror reliable?
And thanks for clarifying the bit on the Samsung accounts.

That makes sense. I think what I'm just going to have to do is just tough it out and use the Samsung Store to updates the ones I can only do through there, then revoke permissions to the Samsung Store app after I'm done. Seems like the safest way to go.
Thanks.

Mine stopped working again after HBO is forcing you to update to the latest. Kind of frustrating.

HBO Max Fix
For those who still can't get HBO Max to work, I finally found a way to fix HBO Max on the Fold 3. I have HBO Max through ATT. You need to create a HBO Max standalone account using the same email as the ATT account. When you log in, the app...

I posted a new thread for the fix. This works.
I have a different issue. I can log in just fine, but can't type a search within the app. I can type 2 characters. As soon as I type the 3rd the app crashes. Uninstall/reinstall doesn't fix it. Latest version from Google Play Store. Otherwise it works fine and I can browse, select and watch a movie, cast a movie, log in and log out, everything. Just can't search. Both inner and outer screen.
