TTS Packages - unneccessary packages stay in Updates in the Galaxy Store

Cyclops — Wed, 17 Jul 2024 11:15:53 GMT

Today, Galaxy Store showed some updates, which I just confirmed (since until today, all proposed updates were always ok). However, with the latest, I am proposed to "update" five TTS packages of different languages: Samsung TTS Hindi/Polish/Russian/Thai/Vietnamese Voice 1. - Eh?

I do not speak one of these languages and had not any of them installed before.

First Q: Why "updating" something I never had and probably will never use?

Since I was to quick in allowing all updates to commence, I later found out that I can delete the TTS packages manually in the general settings => language packages. However, this brings me to my next question:

Second Q: Why do these (for me) unnecessary TTS packages stay as proposed "Updates" in the Galaxy Store? I cannot uncheck any of the proposed TTS updates or deny these update once an for all.

It is annoying to, henceforth, carefully choose each update, since I do not want to install (i.e., "update" in the language of SAMSUNG) any of those TTS packages again.

I have seen in other discussions that there are some comments of SAMSUNG, telling us that these TTS packages are needed for the blind and disabled, or needed 'worldwide' as such devices are sold word wide by SAMSUNG. This is bogus. Neither I know any blind person speaking any of the above languages, nor I will allow any other person except me to use my phone. If someone in India needs Hindi, fine. I do not need it. Thus, I urge SAMSUNG to remove these quite peculiar "updates" from the Galaxy Store update-proposal list. The sooner the better. Thank you!

If you don't want them just delete them. It's your choice if you want to use them or not. There's plenty people on here asking for a certain language for there country. Samsung is addressing that.

Surely it's to do with upcoming AI live translation features ?

Could be a bug?

Samsung Galaxy S24.

Galaxy Store lists updates for some non-required Samsung TTS Voice 1 foreign languages. This just loops.

Steps:

Samsung Store => Updates -> update TTS languages -> note, they're then no longer listed. ->

Go to phone Settings, search for:

Language packs for translation ->

next screen - note that

Samsung Keyboard must be active ->

at bottom of screen -> Language packs for translation ->

Note, they're installed, saying new version available ->

Update them. Don't want them. -> Edit -> delete them.

Check ->

Go back to Galaxy Store => Updates; note, they're back.

This also happened today with samsung s25 plus.

i had to install, force stop disable, and then "uninstall updates", by manually searching them in the Apps. example "Samsung TTS US English Voice 1"

i didn't need this, nor the polish, russian, indonesian voices etc.

Only after i did this, they were not persistent anymore in the Galaxy Store
