I can't disable this apk because it says it's an admin app but when I look at the list of admin apps it's not there. It shows it's Payment Services? Any advice on how to remove this would be greatly appreciated. If you need any info from me please let me know.
com.samsung.android.kgclient malware?

com.samsung.android.kgclient is not malware
It is an app from Samsung and it's called "Payment Services".

Yeah, Samsung crapware. I hate it.
No way to uninstall or disable as it's preset as system administrator. Can't clear it's cache, and useless if you don't want this feature!
Another worthless Samsung free martin.
Like to rabbit punch the rat at Samsung who forced this down our throats.
Feel the wuv...

Great if you do but otherwise it serves no purpose.
The worst piece of bloatware on the phone other than Knox. Both run in the background.
I don't need Samsung playing big sister...

com.samsung.android.kgclient is "samsung payment service" and part of "knoxguard.apk" - if you diable (freeze) or remove (uninstall) it, after boot into system you get a message "the phone is locked bcause you uninstalled payment service..." there is another XDA thread regarding unlocking this by editing a file in /data/systems...
What you can do is blocking its internet access in afwall+ ...
Anybody knows how to completed remove knox+payment service in android 10?

I wish
I hate that crap... it's set as a invisible administrator so you can't package block it or disable it.
No way to stop Samsung Payment from loading even if you don't use it.
KMLS Agent is another one...
As for me I observed a service named "device services" in AFWall. Blocking this causes high battery drain. After some reseach I found that this is the kgclient.
Anybody with same experience?
can/has anyone try/tried these commands :
this takes away the ability to execute a wakelock,and it should/maybe prevent running (actively) in the background.
(@ shell+root)
appops set com.samsung.android.kgclient WAKE_LOCK ignore
appops set com.samsung.android.kgclient RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
appops set com.samsung.android.kgclient RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND ignore
permission manager X can do it as well (if your a GUIperson only )

Yeah it's a little b*tch. (XDA has auto censor, how quaint)
These are always at it as well.
UID 1000 Android Services, can be firewall blocked almost all the time with zero impact.
UID 10044 Google Play Services*, can be Firewall blocked a lot of the time, needed for Gmail, Gmaps, Playstore.
Firewall blocking these pigs saves a lot battery for me.
*I keep Google Play Services package disabled except when needed. Even when PBed some of it's apks continue to run. Google Backup Transport Services and Framework use it a lot too if they're allowed to run.
device services ...do you mean com.sec.android.sdhms ?
thats the device health service (battery stats,..)
while it can be (fw)blocked,I havent found a way to remove it.
not even pm hide (which worked wonders for the game.gos service ) worked
even with pm uninstall,the package is back within seconds ...
one possibility would be to remove RUN_IN/ANY_BACKGROUND with appops/permissionmasterX.

That's Samsung Device Health Management Service. I can, but don't package disable it.device services ...do you mean com.sec.android.sdhms ?

It's not a menace on my device but each device is different. Not showing up on the firewall; probably grouped together in the UID1000 group which I do firewall block as it's a little b*tch.
It's currently running. I can package disable it to see what it's dependencies are...
Update, blocking it seems to do nothing that I can spot yet however it doesn't seem to be causing trouble either.

I use package disabler. Sometimes Karma shows the UID number with a few of the system apks. As for dependencies mostly by observation, wysiwyg.
