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.
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.
