Help [Help] Galaxy Note 2, how to turn off "auto open app" after install or update apps

SevenDP · Jun 11, 2013

hi
i'm new here ...
please advice ...
i have unrooted SGN2 for 3 months, and suddenly about a week ago, my SGN2 have strange behavior.
usually after i finish install an app, there will be two menu: "done" and "open".
but now after that two menu appear, my SGN2 suddenly open the installed app automatically (i do not touch the "open" menu).
the worst thing is when i'm update several apps at once via playstore ...
my SGN2 will update one by one, but after finish update, it will run updated app .... so i must quit them one by one too ...
i'm looking playstore's setting and SGN2's setting but i could not find yet ...

please advice ...
sorry for my english ....

thanks
dP

I've never heard of that before. If a reboot doesn't help, I'd try wiping the Play Store app data.

reboot does not fix the problem...
if i wiping Play Store app data, what will happen to my currently installed apps ? gone or still exist ? what about my "save" game progress ? or nothing will happen with my current apps & save ?

thank you sir ...

edit: already look at the setting .. got "clear data" and "clear cache" should do that two or just "clear data" ?

but this problem happen too when i install apk from memory/micro sd ...
thanks

Have you started using a new launcher or maybe changed the launcher settings? Try turnig off the auto add widget option in the Play Store settings.

Hi Sir ....
i have already solved the problem ...
i was thinking about "factory reset", but i found another way ....
i always playing games offline ... sometime i just use data connection only for browsing ... and i always update apps with wifi connection ...
so yesterday i have a look at setting - data usage : and found several games that use big data connection (more than 20 MB)
so i clear data then uninstall all of them ... got 7 games .... then i restart and try to install app & update all apps .... and viola~! auto open app is not happening anymore

i was curious, after i install one or some games last week, when i'm going online my SGN2 often opening a html page with "free games offer", if i click one of them, it open that games on google playstore ... sometime i can look the shortcut in my internal memory, path is:
/storage/sdcard0/JoyAppStore/zip/files/unzipped0/ .....
there are some html file there
so i rename it, along with:
/storage/sdcard0/Joy
/storage/sdcard0/JoyAdUnion

and uninstall some games that using big game data solved my problem

thank you sir

i'm using default launcher, because it already satisfied me

and i have done turning off auto add shortcut in home screen in play store setting ...

thanks sir

I think these auto start problems are occurs due to some application like EarnTalktime etc. Those have a lot of offers of application. To verify the secure download these problems happened. If you have these apps, delete or clear data of this application, then you may get rid from this problems. I also get rid from this problem so i suggest it. Best of luck.
