Sprint Nexus 6 Bloatware

[fredwardnelson]

I don't know if it's just me but I do have some Sprint bloatware that cannot be removed on my phone. It may just be the sim card that added it but I can't get rid of it. I tried clearing the data from the Play Store app, reset the cache. It went away for a little bit but after I shut down my phone and turned it back up Sprint's Handsfree Activation happened again (my phone was already activated). Here's a pic:



Android Police seems to think the Sprint version is bloatware free but I guess Sprint pulled a fast one.... I wish they'd included something like T=Mobile's My Account. At least you can delete it. No way to delete this, any suggestions?

I have not seen anything like that on mine.

What exactly is the bloat? They're is no Sprint software on the N6. I don't see what your talking about.

If you mean the link in the play store that mentions sprint, I don't consider that bloat. It's nothing that's installed. It's based on the Sim that is inserted. I see that too when my sprint sim is inserted and if I insert my T-Mobile Sim it changes to T-Mobile. Hardly bloat. It's just a shortcut to some apps within the play store.

Are you referring to the Sprint apps button? Technically that's not bloat. My T-Mobile nexus 6 is completely bloat free. However when I go to apps in the play store I find this as well. It's only a dedicated section in the play store sharing carrier picks.

Okay thanks guys. I was worried it was baked into the ROM or something.
