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.

      You cannot uninstall the app but I did uninstall the updates and then denied access to everything possible on top of location.

        Probably not necessary for the phone to function right? If not, look into using adb to remove it completely. Only do this if you’re comfortable in using command line and enabling developer mode on your phone

          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.

        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.
