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.

            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)

          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.

        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
