Every time I disable "Find My Device" under device administrators, it re-enables itself whenever I reboot my phone. In the phone settings, I turned off location and went to Google->security->Find My Device and toggled off. Then I went to my Google account on my PC to remove the device. Nope! Makes no difference. WTH?! Come on, Google! you creep up on my phone. I have to disable it because when it's enabled, it causes issues with MacroDroid app. My phone is rooted. I'm on Marshmallow 6.0.1 Any solutions? Google makes me wanna rip out my hair. Ugh, this is a nightmare. Same issue on another phone
Can confirm this too.
See that since Yesterday... Android Oreo and/or Pie! Makes no difference... Zte Axon7...
Thanks to Google for this funny new Feature :good:
It might help if you mention either of the phones you're talking about, just in case this is a device specific issue.
If it's re-enabling itself on reboot, it doesn't sound like you're disabling it properly. Try freezing it using Root Uninstaller to freeze the app.

Thank you for confirming this. The feature disappears when I disable Google Play services but I can't leave it disabled

Firstly, my device and running system are in my post, as you meant me too. I'm quite sure it's not device related... This "issue" appears as soon as i update to the new beta of gplayservices and disappears as soon as I downgrade!
One after another in by friendships have it now, too. So it's rolling out with stable, because none of them is beta tester or it comes over another backdoors...

Right now I'm using LG Volt. Another one is ZTE Warp 7. It's the feature, not the app. If It were the app, I would uninstall it. I tried disabling the feature under Google Play services via the app called "Disable Application [ROOT]" by BIZKAI Apps but it asked me to pay for it pfftt
Hi, did anyone manage to solve this issue? I'm trying to disable Google's device admin access but it keeps turning on by itself
The settings might not be saved to your Google account properly , try connecting your device to a stable internet connection and disabling it .. might work, usually same happens with my device when enabling adb(debug security settings) if internet connectivity is poor.
If you're still looking for a fix, I've finally found one! https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-universal-gms-doze-t3853710
Fyi...it seems the GmsIntentOperationService service in GooglePlayServices is what is causing it to re-enable at boot. If you are rooted and disable this service it stops re-enabling at boot. Google should fix this....not cool Google.

I've tested that Magisk module on a Blu Life One X3 phone, rooted with TWRP as bootloader and Magisk as root. It does indeed permanently disable 'Find My Device' (and removes it from the Device Administrators list), but on this particular phone, it messes up the WiFi connection... it flips between 'Connected' and 'Connected, No Internet', and doesn't transit any data.
I uninstalled the 'Universal GMS Doze' Magisk module, and WiFi functionality returned to normal, but 'Find My Device' was re-enabled. I did this three times, just to be sure, same each time.
For now, to save battery, I'm using 'Enable Doze for GMS Magisk Module' Magisk module, but it doesn't disable 'Find My Device' like 'Universal GMS Doze' does.
I'm now looking at using Disable Application [ROOT] (package:/data/app/com.iamaner.oneclickfreeze-1/base.apk=com.iamaner.oneclickfreeze) to stop the Google Play Services from setting a Device Administrator... you should check out that program, it's awesome. It's a paid program, but it's well worth the coinage.
Here's the Google Play Services activities:
https://github.com/alt236/apkdetails/blob/master/sample_output/google_play_services_11.9.49.md
We have a few avenues to explore in turning off 'Find My Device' permanently:
com.google.android.gms.mdm.receivers.ActivateDeviceAdminUponUnlockReceiver
com.google.android.gms.mdm.receivers.MdmDeviceAdminReceiver
android.permission.MANAGE_DEVICE_ADMINS
{forgive the spaces in the above... the xda-developers.com editor adds them, for some reason}

How's it possible to fetch that Service, with non-root? Best I can get on Android One is:
I'm not sure you can do it, non-root. I'm trying to figure out the ADB command to disable 'Find My Device' permanently... it's got to be related to what I posted above. Still experimenting.
Turn off the find my "device"
If you would like to remotely locate, lock, ring or erase your device, view this info.
Notes:
Find My Device Android allows you to remotely locate, lock, ring or erase your device.
A GmailTM account must be set up on the device to utilize Find My Device.
Log in to the Find My Device Device (URL: google.com/android/find) to access these services.
From a Home screen, navigate: Apps > Settings > Google (Google services).
To allow the device to be remotely located:
Tap Location.
Ensure the Location switch (located in the upper-right) is set to the ON position.
Tap Security.
Tap the following switches to turn on or off:
Remotely locate this device
Allow remote lock and erase
Hope: It will helps.
That doesn't work for me, as I've disabled Google location features in build.prop and disabled Captive Portal Login connectivity checking (which checks with a Google server to switch your WiFi icon to 'Connected' from 'Connected, No Internet'), as I explicate here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ge...bootloader-t3812910/post79374402#post79374402
So Google can only see if the phone is online or not. It can't locate it, nor can it communicate with 'Find My Device'.
But good news! If you install AFWall+ and disable:
[10014] Google Play Services, Google Services Framework, Google Account Manager
[10023] Google Play Store
for both Data and Wifi in the firewall, Google can't even tell when your phone is online.
What I did was to set up three profiles in AFWall+, one with the basic connectivity enabled and Google enabled, one with basic connectivity only, and one lockdown profile (nothing enabled). Set up AFWall+ so it shows a notification, press that notification to take you to the AFWall+ window. Just below the green header, you'll see a drop-down box where you can quickly switch the profile. Or set up the widget to do the same thing.
Heh, leave it to Google to make permanently disabling "Find My Device" as unintuitive as possible.
Go to Settings > Google > Security > Find My Device > Turn it off
If you simply go to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and disable Find My Device, it'll re-enable itself upon reboot.

I did this, worked for 3 days then my phone rebooted by itself (which has never happened before). When it powered back on, Find My Device came right back in an enabled state. I have a HTC 10 and almost positive this is what causes the horrific battery life. Once its disabled, my battery history is fairly flat. Every 3 days or so it will re-enable itself and its fairly obvious when it happens -- my battery starts draining much faster. There has to be another way to block this completely, I've already disabled it in my Google account, on the phone, and unchecked it in device admins but again, 3 days later its enabled again like a bad virus.

We have some Note 4X Phones in use. Generally, we are satisfied. But this daily and recurrent notification, which is showing in the status bar (in the drop down notifications), is not acceptable.
Of course, we have disabled all settings in the Updater App, which are possible for disabling.
As long as the 8.5.8.0 is not as good as the 8.2.10.0, and as long the 8.5.8.0 has bugs, we are not able to update. Therefore it is no solution to do what the Updater want to do. Also all solutions which require a rooting are not practicable, because due security reasons, rooting is not allowed.

Thank you very much for your help.
Unfortunately, I have already disabled "auto updates" in the "Updater App". But this was no improvement.
In the meantime I've tried a second setting, but also without success:
I'm here: Security App - > Data Usage - > Restrict Data Usage - > System. Here I've disabled the "Updater App".
But all Apps here are listed in the column "Mobile". Now, this means, the disabling only works during a mobile data connection. Therefore, the disabling will not valid during a WLAN session.
The second indication is, that in the following path: "Security App - > Data Usage - > Restrict Data Usage" there exists not only the menu "System". The second selectable menu here is "Installed". Under the menu "Installed" there are listed many apps. And here are exists two different columns. One column is called "WLAN", the other column is called "Mobile". And all apps are listed in both columns. The reason is that the users have the choice to restrict data either for "WLAN" or for "Mobile".
But the bad thing is that in the menu "System" there only exists the column "Mobile".
Now, how can I restrict the data for the Security App also for a WLAN connection?
But as I described above, anyway this solution also doesn't work - if anything, than only with a mobile connection.
But principally, the aim isn't to restrict data, the goal is how to avoid the notification of that stupid "Updater App"?
Has anyone a working solution for me?

Were you able to find any solution? I am facing this exact issue and it's really infuriating
Force stop the app and dismiss the notification
And don't open the update settings again
You could try disabling the Updater application with ADB.
Get ADB & fastboot here from XDA from this link, install it on a computer.
Then, enable Developer options. Go to Settings -> About device and tap MIUI version a few times until it says they've been enabled.
Now go to Settings -> Additional Settings -> Developer options and enable USB debugging.
Connect the phone to the computer, type 'adb devices' without the quotation marks and make sure the phone is detected. The phone will pop up a notice to confirm you trust the computer.
Now, type 'pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.android.updater' without the quotation marks. This will disable the built-in Updater app, removing any notifications coming from it.
This does not require root.
Just use Titanium Backup and freeze Updater app.
It will not show anything until you run it manually, or you restart phone.

This is the best solution, it helped me.
You can map your back button with long press to force close any app. If you mapped it, just open updater and long press the back button. It will close updater app and dismiss its notification. It will only come up again if you manually open the Updater app again and search for updates.
Also its not necessary to map the nav keys
Just hold the app window from recent apps view to get app info and hit force close button at bottom.
any one tried xezrunner's solution? any good? I hate this notification crap that mi has foisted on all of us.

On my phone, the 3Gb Global Version, some MiUi app can't be frozen, including updater.apk (MiUi 9.2.1.0).
Coming back to this topic, I made a backup of the aforementioned apk with Titanium. Would it be safe to uninstall it completely or should I go the ADB route? I'm asking because the case happened to me once with another phone where the system wouldn't be the same despite the backup-restore by Titanium.

You could uninstall but make sure to backup it first in case you run into some issues, personally i'd just freeze it. (it will appear as uninstalled until phone restart)

correct me if im worng, titanium backup freezing function only works if you have paid version.
Maybe you don't have that.
try it with some other app like Lucky Patcher, that app isn't primarily for freezing aplication but it have option under tools to freeze packages. Just be careful to not play around with other tools if don't know what it used for.

Sorry if it were out of topic, but I'm wondering whether it is possible or not to edit the build.prop (for gcam} through adb on non UBL and non ROOT Redmi Note 4
Hello again!
Wow, three threads in two days, prolific times.
Well, I hope that they all will get answers.
So, here it is about the QMemo+ App in LG phones (in my case, LG G8 with Android 10).
I had it not installed because I do not like all these memo apps which needs 10000 permissions, and because there is no way to disable the data usage in the settings. The option is missing. It is also not possible to deselect the given permission.
It is basically a mafia.
But I need scrolling screenshots and the Android native option (vol- with power button) only gives me normal screenshot. I have found a post in google claiming that after taking the screenshot I should see an option to make it scroll, but I do not have it.
LG Capture+ has it. But it needs the QMemo+.
So... I have debloated my phone with ADB and the "disable user 0" command. Amazing.
Is there maybe a similar command which I can use to disable the data usage (completely preventing an app from accessing the internet and therefore uploading stolen data), without root?
I would much prefer such ADB commands to installing another app, firewall etc.
If the only option is a firewall or another app, please suggest one which is 100% safe and reliable, and needs no root.
Thanks!
[GUIDE] Getting notifications back after GMS install hack on Huawei phone
This is the method that I used to get notifications back on my P40Pro+ after a GMS hack install. I am not saying it will work for everyone and indeed if you need Google location tools on all the time, dont follow this but if your not too worried, then have a read. It has been taken from other guides out there and a little bit of my own for testing. It can be reversed and backed out of it you dont like it but as I keep getting questions on Facebook about how I done it, I thought I would share it with you too.
In this method you will need :
Huawei multitool V8 from here
Push Notification Tester from Playstore here or wherever you get your apps from
Disabling GSF
Disable Google Services Framework (GSF) using Huawei Multitool v8.
Using this tool on a Windows PC, you will find a section in the Modifications section for disabling apps on a adb connected phone to the app. Connect your phone and select show system apps and look for 'com.google.android.gsf' and select 'disable'.
See image below attached 'Multitool V8 Disabled app'
I disable (GSF) using this as it is easier for me than to use icebox or other freezer apps.
To test notifications are now working
Once disabled check that you can now receive notifications by opening Push Notification Tester installed from Playstore before starting this, will allow you to test notifications. With GSF disabled, they should now work as they should. See attached screen shots below 1-4.
Another way to test them is to just send your self an email. Just make sure you have notifications set in the setting menu first. You can try the notification tester in Outlook but does time out a lot but perseverance can prove it works but an email to your self is just as good. See screen shots 6 and 7 for where this is in the outlook help pages. Screenshot 8 shows Outlook notifications working.
The reason this works I believe is that most apps relying on GMS, their notifications work through GSF and with the GMS hack, they can't, so by disabling GSF, they can use their own default route again, through themselves.
The downside is that with GSF disabled, Google Playstore no longer works and also Google location history, there may be more but it has no real affect unless you rely on them (I dont). Maps still work with directions, Waze too but not your history or phone location via Google. Find you phone via Huawei still works obviously, so you still have other options. Of course, you can use Aurora Playstore instead or any other playstore option and if you have paid apps through Googles Playstore, then you can go to GSF in settings/apps on your phone and enable GSF (see screen shot 5 below) or via the Multi tool V8 again, download your paid app update etc and then disable it via multitool v8 after to get notifications back.
Thanks for the guide, wierd issue for me. Once my phone is conencted, and i disable the service via the Multi Tool, i still have access to the Playstore.
Going to apps -> system prcoesses, it doesnt have the disabled text next to the process. if i click on it, it says "Enable" and "Force Stop". Which initially leads me to think this has been disabled. Then once i go to Push Notification Tester, it fails on step 3 - Register for Push Notifications.
You should not have Playstore access. You dont have any work accounts installed? They have 2 gsf's etc. I would use the muti tool to check for disabled apps. It should show gsf.
May be re do?
I am able to enable and use Playstore, then disable it again to get notifications back at will, so you should too.

I think I know the issue. I have installed GSM the old way (which used to work). If you look at the start of this video he shows two devices ( both with GSM) one which fails the notification tester app, and one which passes. He then uses the icebox method to grt notifications on the phone which passes the tests
https://youtu.be/A4889MUA9EQ
I think I may have to factory reset and use this new method ??
Good luck and if you do, please let us know what method is currently working.
Can you please check for me, if it's possible to install the game jw alive with this method? Offer 5€ via Paypal for this. Just write your Email via PM

As of today, i can confirm that this method works for notifications, just make sure to restart your device after disabling / enabling.
As for the push notifications, gmail not working for me, outlook works. other apps works too, but from time to time it doesnt push properly, maybe battery optimisation or something i dont know. any idea for this issue?
anyone have any updates on this? I too have the problem - random notifications come in (usually a bunch coupled together)....Trying to figure out a real solution. Any one have any luck?

@Sathelp -> When you say this at the previous quote message, you really can tell that I can disabled and then enable GSF to receive notifications and then use Play Store ?? Right ??
Will have message issues that "Google requires an action ... etc" and I must reinstall all GMS if I enable GSF again ??
My guide was based on A10 at launch. I used the G app with a back date to get my GMS before it was blocked. Using that at the time worked fine. Disable GMS using adb command enabled notifications as they worked through HMS. I just enabled GMS to run playstore, get and update apps and then disable it for normal use.
As I have not downgraded or used googlefyer etc, I can't say how it will work with these newer methods.
The idea of the workaround to deactivate GSF for receiving push notifications emerged in April or Mai 2020. Over half a year has passed now... Maybe there is a better solution now to have GSF activated and get all push notifications? It would still be great to have a working play store and the notifications!
Any progress in that matter? Any new ideas?

We're looking for something at this thread, we can keep GSF unfrozen and get push notificacions ... but after 12 hours Play Protect errors started to appear.
There are at least two users that they haven't this issue and all it works fine ...
How to get notification without freezing GSF
Below is a third version of the guide (ok, it's 3.5). As of January, 15th I've added great finding by @Seresseran1. Thanks man! The below guide will provide you with fully working Google services, play store will work, push notifications will...
forum.xda-developers.com
This sounds great, thx
And because this doesn't work on all devices yet:
Maybe another possible solution could be to let the desired apps only *think* that GSF is not available. So that they try using their own default route again...
But hot could that be accomplished. Maybe via App Cloner?

same here !
Do not worry, this is not the old TicSystem trick - this is better
/!\ Only for TicWatch Users /!\
Hello,
While attempting to change my Wear OS accent color via ADB, I discovered a way to speed up the watch around 2.5 times (measurements done lazily, could be wrong. Still makes it faster, though.) - It does not cripple the watch at all (I have not tested battery life)
While everyone knows the one with disabling TicSystem (for you curious souls, it does not cripple the watch at all), I believe I may be the first one to do this. It revolves around Mobvoi's Wear OS overlay. Doing this trick made my watch really fast. The watch is around 2.5 times more responsive now and no matter what I do, I can not get the watch performance to slow, as it normally would.
It runs even better if you disable TicSystem too (Bottom power menu - you can literally use the top power menu instead, if you remove TicSystem)
Here is a step by step instructional tutorial:
1.) Enable Developer Options
---
2.) Disable All Animations (you can enable those again later)
---
3.) Enable ADB Debugging
---
4.) Hook your Watch up to your computer with ADB and all that stuff (I really do not want to go in depth on how to hook up your watch to your PC, You can google that)
---
5.) Type "adb devices" to connect your watch and start daemon
---
6.) Type "adb shell cmd overlay list"
---
7.) If there is a com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home (or something containing the same words in a different order) continue with this guide. If there is not, leave this guide
---
8.) Type "adb shell cmd overlay disable com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home"
(or however else your overlay is called)
---
9.) Type "adb reboot"
to reboot the watch
---
OPTIONAL 10. Enable animations again)
---
That is it, the watch now runs very much faster without any usability difference. To be honest, I am still not exactly sure why it works, but it works.
I have been doing a lot of testing and I just can not find anything that went wrong when I disabled it. There simply seems to be nothing. Everything works.
If some issue does come up, please let me know. Also, if there is an issue, you can just reproduce all the steps here, but replace the command in step #8 with "adb shell cmd overlay enable com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home"
(Also, if any other fellow android developers are reading this, please help me understand why in the world uninstalling the package itself slows the watch down again. I have been scratching my head at this for a while now. Maybe it is placebo?)
(Disclaimer: I am not responsible for any damage to your watch. Even if this is unlikely to cause any damage, you are responsible for anything that might happen)
I don't have those mobvoi overlay, only google's
Code:
com.google.android.gms
[x] com.google.android.wearable.overlay.gms
com.google.android.wearable.app
[x] com.google.android.wearable.overlay.home
I don't feel lag actually since the first I use ticwatch E, of course after disable most system app. The latest change only to disable ticsystem which render the battery life longer, approx 20%.
You most likely just disabled the Jupiter home app. This guide is directed at people, who do not want to get rid of the whole Mobvoi experience, but still want a faster watch
I only disabled these
com.mobvoi.companion.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.account.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.fitness.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.health.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.heartrate.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.social.aw
com.mobvoi.wear.system.aw
It seems the jupiter home app only available in ticwatch pro, not in my ticwatch e.
Thanks for the sharing.
with your method. i lost esential mode
Clarification
I am just adding an update here.
There is no correlation between essential mode and the Jupiter app. The person who said this was simply making it up.
Thank you.

Confirmed.
I can't seem to find mobvoi overlay on my ticwatch S
In something unrelated, I wanted to ask if anyone could share the latest ticpulse apk, as my one doesn't update through the play store anymore
I've deleted all from com.mobvoi packages, and lost essential mode/second screen with always on display on TicWatch PRO3. Anyone konw how's called a packgage which controls essential/second screen.
Thanks
Tried on Ticwatch pro 3 GPS - significant change in responsiveness! Thank you
On my Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS there is no option to switch on ADB over WiFi.....only via Bluetooth.
Where did you find it?

First enable developer options. Then you should see.
Developer options are enabled in settings/system/information/build version. You have to tap on build version 5 times or more.
I know and I did it. But there is no option for this.....
There only is a switch for ADB-Debugging and another for Debugging over bluetooth.
Thats weird. Never the less, why don't you try to do it via bluetooth?
How to do this?

did you use the charger cable to run the commands via pc or over wifi? because when i do that my pc only charges the watch , i can't see it under adb devices. thanks.
Thanks man, definitely faster now
Good find, but this doesnt need dev options nor ADB. Goto Settings > Apps and Notifications > App Info > System Apps; find com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home and disable it there.

After disabling com.mobvoi.ticwatch.jupiter.home via adb, a restart resulted in it enabled again. Maybe i did something wrong this way?
Following quoted method was permanent after restart.
Can I disable permanently Google play protect? Or Google play protect not allowed to uninstall an app I want.
Hello Arist!
Here are some instructions i found by googling. Does it help you?:
How to Disable Play Protect
Settings.
Google.
Security.
Google Play Protect.
Tap on Cog-wheel.
Select Scan apps with Play Protect to turn it off.

is it possible to disable google play protect on android tv 9?
I'd like to know any way to disable it on Android TV (shield) as well. I've seen posts saying to turn off verify apps in settings but this doesn't work.
Although I had never turned on Play Protect, tonight I got a notification from Google Play Protect telling me to uninstall a malicious app.
It seems that my device is being permanently monitored by Google, despite deactivating the service.
How can this be prevented?
I would like to be able to determine who is allowed to scan my device and who is not.
And when a service is deliberately deactivated, my expectation is that it is actually switched off.

I also cannot get Play Protect to stop scanning even though I have double, triple, quadruple checked the settings. It is toggled off. Yet it won't stop telling me that I have one app that isn't safe (I know it is, so I'm not concerned)...
Has anyone figured this out yet?
You can try adb
adb shell settings put global package_verifier_user_consent -1
To re-enable play protect:
adb shell settings put global package_verifier_user_consent 1
About an hour ago the freakin' Play Store, which for whatever reason I had defrozen, informed me that “for security reasons” or whatever it had removed permissions from a bunch of apps. Of course Google Play Protect (or maybe is it Google Pay Protect? LoL!) was disabled, as it has always been, but it still removed permissions from my apps. Well, that was enough, my patience ran out.
So, I fully uninstalled Google Play Store. This is the real way to disable Google Play Protect. No more @#$% in my system now.

Did it work when you tried it?
As far as I remember, when you install a file, they warn you about the danger of downloading viruses, but you can ignore this warning and download anyway.
Does Google Play protect identify payloads created with msfvenom ? I just bought a phone with android 12 and play protect on it. I wanted to install a back door in my phone
