Hey, how TF can I stop this?
Hey, how TF can I stop this?
This has only started recently, less than a week. My battery is just getting its ass kicked.
My day to day is work, on WiFi, always full barrs Sunday - Sunday. I stopped spectrum mobile from gps location yada yada but it doesn't do anything or help.

Uninstall spectrum mobile app. Reevaluate in 48 hours
You cannot uninstall the app but I did uninstall the updates and then denied access to everything possible on top of location.
You can. ADB is your friend.

pm list packages | grep '<OEM/Carrier/App Name>'you can try to see withspectrumOh this is awesome. Thank you
No worries! Note that it doesn't really uninstall it, I mean it does but the app is still there, available for you to be reinstalled in case it's an essential app, in that case do:
adb shell cmd package install-existing <package_name>So save the app package name somewhere. It uninstalls the app for the current user but it's still available in the system (it doesn't run if you uninstall it, no worries)
will this stop it from auto installing?
Unless spectrum pushes some kind of update that reinstall it, you're okay! The first OS update check if it's there, if not you're safe
UAD-ng should let you remove it.
Or since you're on samsung, add it to the deep sleeping apps list.
These are the only options. And when I hit the 3 dots in the top. I click "uninstall updates" and then maybe 30 minutes later it reinstalls.
I have No clue what this app doesn't what it's for. It is not the same app you'd use to pay your bill or see your usage. This app has no icon. I can only force stop it. But my battery went from 100-88 in an hour and half just idling.
It's under Settings > Battery > Background usage limits > Deep sleeping apps.
Not on that list unfortunately
Can you not? Is that an android thing or an America thing?
It's bloatware, so probably American. I would know, I avoid those shitass bloated phones like the plague. Sometimes I'll install a custom ROM to get rid of other shit, too
Its an Android thing. Carriers pay OEMs to install bloatware and spyware on the system partition, where it can't be removed. Apple simply doesn't allow it.
Its easy enough to avoid by not buying from the carrier but sometimes the carrier will also sell you them for dirt cheap and with payment plans. Also the OEMs themselves will install their own invasive bloatware.
