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?
We’re 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?
Apparently this is the app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.devicelock
Says it’s not available in my country, but yet it is install and unremovable.
Have you tried using adb to uninstall, freeze, or otherwise disable it?
Just the firewall block at this stage (I’m Tech savvy, but not that tech savvy). I’ll look into it
If it’s unremoveable its probably been installed from the beginning.
Mine isn’t installed, but my phone is also out of support and doesn’t work on newer Android. So it’s probably a more recent thing.
Did you buy your phone from eBay or amazon? Could be a refurbished overseas model
Nope, directly from the google store.
