    Question Casino Apps have shown up on my Pixel - ARGH!

    I hear you (all) about bloatware; I do my best to avoid it. There is one game (replaypoker.com - and not to play, simply to gather a daily bonus by signing in) I sign into via Chrome, not via any app. I wonder if I accidentally clicked on a link but, really, I'd be very surprised if this...

    Question Casino Apps have shown up on my Pixel - ARGH!

    This weekend, I found a Casino app (forgot exactly what the name was) on my phone that I did not request. Today, I see Lightning Link (from the initial screen, it's also a casino app) as well. I only use apps that either came with the phone or come from the Play Store. I guess I need to...

    Mystery App drains Pixel 2 battery way too quickly

    BD, I hear ya. But I don't know how to reinstall it. I'll take another look this afternoon. I do appreciate your directions. I think there's a problem with the new battery, though. But before I open it up again... I'd rather try what you're suggesting.

    Mystery App drains Pixel 2 battery way too quickly

    I did another factory reset and this time did no restore. I actually disabled the backup during Setup. So, pretty vanilla. And... No better. In fact, while it is plugged in, the phone went from fully charged when I started the reset, to 86% when I took a screenshot at 2:25 PM, to 47% at...

    Mystery App drains Pixel 2 battery way too quickly

    Update It took hours to fully charge. When I started it at 100% battery again, after less than an hour it was at 61%. The Battery Setting again shows this Mystery App as the one that is using most of my battery. Ugh. It's fallen to 49% and, by now, might be out of juice. I tried it again...

    Mystery App drains Pixel 2 battery way too quickly

    Update It took hours to fully charge. When I started it at 100% battery today, after less than an hour it was at 61%. The Battery Setting again shows this Mystery App as the one that is using most of my battery. Ugh. It's fallen to 49% and, by now, might be out of juice. See:

    Mystery App drains Pixel 2 battery way too quickly

    It started after the battery replacement. RE: Tunein, I was having a problem with that as well after Android 11 and I simply removed it. My original battery was not holding a full charge thru a day anymore and sometimes I would have to charge it twice in a day. So, I did a replacement...

    Mystery App drains Pixel 2 battery way too quickly

    This UNNAMED app is draining my battery. I haven't used my phone since I had a new battery installed, yet it is halfway empty halfway thru the day. I charge it fully, then it sits. I've put the SIM card in a different phone and put the Pixel 2 in Airplane Mode. What is this Mystery App and...

    AT&T Address Book is annoying as Heck!

    I have an LG G2 D800. I recently performed a factory reset and now every time I go to My Contacts, this AT&T Address Book opens on top of it. I am using the stock Contacts that came with the phone. I thought I could disable it within Settings/General/Apps/All Apps (see screen shot attached)...

    How to Assign a Ringtone to Unknown Callers?

    I followed the advice from another forum. I want incoming calls from unknown callers to have a ringtone different from anyone in My Contacts (I only show Google Contacts in my Contacts - the default address book in the LG G2). 1. I set my default ringtone to the Munsters Theme. 2. I then...
