I installed NetGuard about a month ago and blocked all internet to apps, unless they’re on a whitelist. No notifications from this particular system app (that can’t be disabled) until recently when it started making internet connection requests to google servers. Does anyone know when this became a thing?
Edit 2: I bought my Pixel 6 phone outright, directly from Google’s Australian store. I have no creditors.
Were the courts not enough control for creditors? Since when are they allowed to lock you out of your purchased property without a court order?
I don’t even live in the US, so what the actual fuck?
Edit 1: You can check it’s installed (stock Pixel 6 android 14) Settings > Apps > All Apps > three dot menu, Show system > search “DeviceLockController”.
I highly recommend getting NetGuard, you can enable pro features via their website if you have the APK for as low as 0.10€, but donate more, because it’s amazing. You can also purchase via Google Play store.
I think I’ve seen you around here before, shilling these lower quality, closed source devices from China.
Lower quality? Lol.
I’ll give you a chance to look up the Mix Fold 3. And then any other equivalent phone available in the US market.
Even excluding the folding aspect, the screen sizes and overall thickness means it looks and works exactly like a non foldy. 50W wireless, 120W wired charging. 1TB of storage, 16GB of RAM. Leica lenses.
On top of that, zero of my data goes to the US government at it does on carrier branded phones. I will give all my data to the ccp if they want it. I have no interest in what they do with it. I have very high interest in what a five eyes nation does with my data and information.
Wow! Rattling off stats like that is a great way to show you’re not shilling.
Tell me, how is the display color quality and camera resolution?
Cameras are better than Samsung flagship and on par with iPhone. The newest 14 beats the iPhone 15 in side by side tests according to many media outlets.
The display is Samsung OLED. The exact same display technology.
Educate yourself to the world outside of the USA and you’ll find far superior technology.
WeChat preinstalled?
But nah, the OnePlus 7 with a custom ROM was my jam. Shame the screen broke.
Get replacement parts, get access to bootloaders, get control of your data. You can’t? Lower quality, and you admit it proudly.
Funny how that’s not needed when you don’t break your phone and the thing works out of the box. No random reboots and resets like every US carrier branded phone where a custom ROM is a necessity.
Also if I need replacement parts all the mobile repair shops stock them in places I routinely visit.
Youre just too taken in by propaganda to admit the shit the US shoves down your throat isn’t that great.
I need the ROMs to play with hardware in ways manufacturers and Google don’t intend. I don’t ask the manufacturer for permission, nor do I need to as source code and bootloaders are available.
I’m not willing to be a data point for profit, I don’t give a fuck whether it’s the shithead ccp or fuckbox google, my data stays on my phone unless I decide otherwise.
Can’t do that? Again, proud of your weakest element. How strange. Enjoy your inferior phone.
