Hi @vbggaming10 ,
you can control it using Google Family Link and install directly through Google Play Store

You can easily disable all of the "T-Mobile" apps: T-Mobile My Account, T-Mobile Name ID, T-Mobile TV
I've also disabled TalkBack, Rescue, Polaris Office, News & Weather, Lookout Security,Kid Mode, Hangouts, Google Play Music, Google Play Movies & TV, Google Play Magazines.
As far as the HTC applications, I haven't began to disable any of them yet...
Thanks for your post, I was able to disable some more apps

I don't see, "or uninstalled" anywhere here.
So whats wrong with Google Music?
Do semantics really matter? And does it really matter whether or not I said it in my original post or if I clarified in my next post that it was either disabled OR "uninstalled"? The point is these apps that I mentioned are no longer present blaring in my face whenever I access my phone.
What's wrong with Google Music? Nothing -- if you want to use it. Me, personally? Google Music is a subscription-based service and it is something that, to me, is not worth it's value monthly.

[Q] Best Folders Autosync App?

Hello all,
After searching Google Play I noticed there are many different autosync apps. Thing is, I'm searching for an app that gives me the ability to select folders on my Android Phone to pair them with folders on my OneDrive account so that the app IMMEDIATELY syncs every new file that appears in those selected Android folders to their paired folders on OneDrive. Kind of like a backup to my OneDrive account of the folders that I select.
Anyone who knows a good app that satisfies these needs?

The Dev has a Drop box version too.

I gotta say I was happy when I saw the app in the Play Store. I downloaded it and found out that it has some important limitations for which I have to pay €6 to unlock them. I'm sorry for being so picky but is there any cheaper alternative?

There is any app installed which is permanently opened in the Background. Please check your installed Apps.
Is your Phone rooted? Give me some Infos about your Phone.

My phone is not rooted. I have S6 Edge running on 5.1.1
I have checked running apps on smart manager and end them but again many apps automatically open after sometime.
Is there no App to detect malware?
Remove every shady app you downloaded from Store and be careful next time you install stuff on your phone.
Usually games tend to show ads like that everywhere.
Source: dozens of Android phones that had those apps whose parents gave their kids to install games on.
vipul261 said:
I really wish there is a way to detect and block such apps
Click to expand...

There is...
Install All-In-One Toolbox from play store then from within the app (or again from play store) install the Ad Detect plugin. It will scan every app on your device and report their capacity to display ads, by what means, and from what source. From this info, it's easy to decide what apps to delete. :good:

Google play music backup

Hello there!
I wanted to reset my Lg G4 but the problem last time was that it did not save my downloaded Google Play Music.
I used the integrated google backup to restore the phone and i thought it would also backup the app settings.
But it did not so i lost all the music which i downloaded.
Is there a possibilty or app to do this?
Thank you very much for your help in advance.
Greetings

There is an app called titanium backup but it requires root. It backups every part of the app you select, in fact, some people use it for piracy.

Yes i had this app on my rooted tablet. But i still got 1 year warrenty so i do not want to open the boot loader.
I find it really strange that there is no offical way supported by google because it is an google app.

Google Assistant Settings - Issue

Hey, is anyone else having problems getting into the assistant settings menu, i'm talking about this menu.
(open assistant > settings and then settings again)
https://i.imgur.com/oja8akG.jpg
Tried clearing cache and data of both Google and play apps, I also tried the beta channel download same thing, I tap settings it almost like the page pops ups and vanishes within a second, both settings and explore are doing this.

No, that's just the menu we want to access but can't
So I guess I have to revoke the microphone authorization for the Google app to get rid of Google assistant for now.

@2001db8, is correct thats the menu we cant get to, the one I shared is the one just before it, sorry should have been more clear.

This one.
I access the settings by pressing Home Button and then by clicking on the blue icon on the top right side
@B1naryBlaz3 I fixed it with my P20 by disabling and uninstalling Google Play Services via "System Settings -Apps -> Google Play Services -> Deactivate" and then afterwards installing the Google Play Services update again when prompted. This actually fixed a lot of issues I had

Works until I restart the phone again, I also factory reset 4 times yesterday to try and isolate the issue, its definitely something thats part of the default install, everything is fine until it updates the stock stuff and then you restart.

Well it's the same as mine. The problem may be the Google Play Services as @2001db8 pointed out. You have all the permissions granted to Assistant?

Did you get the handset from cell c ? Trying to figure out how the various operators decide which version they sell, got mine from Telkom if I knew the other version had more internals I would have opted for that, this is what I get for not doing my homework.

I have no issue whatsoever, I use the Google assistant on a daily basis ( Yeah I'm that lazy lol) and the Google authentication app is working just fine (I have setup my two way authentication code for my various emails accounts and other stuff) i'm pretty happy with this p20 lite and I wasn't expecting to have such a good experience in the first place.
