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?

    adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.devicelockcontroller

    If you’re using Shelter, then in addition to that command, replace --user 0 with --user 10

    You don’t need root to do this. You can also uninstall other bloatware using this same method.

      Hero, I just have to get around to doing it 😅 (I will, but grumble, grumble this is why most people don’t bother battling for privacy)

      I tried this on a Pixel 7 and am getting:

      panther:/ $ pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.android.devicelockcontroller

      Failure [DELETE_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR]

      I also tried disable and got:

      Cannot disable a protected package: com.google.android.devicelockcontroller

      New to this depth of phone administration, where are you entering this command? Is there a developer CLI I should be looking for or is this done with a third party app or something?
