That's the app. And you may be able to find it under Security. I don't use it anymore so I can't remember, I use Cerebrus.
Seeing a stupid comment on Google Play about an app you love and marking it as "spam". You've done it too.

Thanks, it weirdly says install on the play store but in my device manager settings i have this option -

It's not in the settings menu. It's in the app drawer as Device Manager.

Go into Google Settings > Android Device Manager.The app you see in the Play Store is the manager you use when the device is lost, like what you get when you use it on a desktop. The actual thing is part of Google Services.

Yea i get it now. Lol

You could try that. Turn off location reporting, etc. in Google Settings

Sprint app removal

Okay, so I installed the Sprint Zone app because I actually use it and find it functional. However, with the latest update it also installed sprint fun & games. Something I don't want. I searched for the file using root explored and also checked the system app file and data app file. I can't find it anywhere to rename it bak. Anyone have any luck finding it?

After I saw this thread yesterday I looked around for it too. Seems they are linked somehow, but this is what I saw under app info, at the very bottom.
Both are the same app you need to uninstall the update

I went a head and uninstalled the update. After I did that the app forced closed and wouldnt function properly. The only way to get it to work as before was to update it. I went through the app file and found the fun and games and seen the launch was set to 1. I wonder if changing that to 0 would mess with the Sprint Zone app? Now I just need to find an editor.

Same issue
don't know what happened..may be due to Play music update. mine is 6.1.2116T.2441907 , most probably they screwed something in it.if more ppl are facing same plz rise issue at google product forum.
any other who has a solution?
I think it's the app problem. This setting was "gone" on play music version 6.1.2116T.2441907.
PS: I'm just realized that my comment was out of topic(maybe?), because my device is an Android One with Marshmallow in it, but just curious why this setting was gone.

You're not out of context. Same OS. Same version of the play music app and same problem: No equaliser. Has to be something to do with the app update I suppose.
On stock Android 6.0.1 on my Nexus5, 6.1.2116T.2441907 shows the equalizer settings.
Also, with the same version Play Music app on my stock N6, running 5.1.1, the equalizer settings are available too.
I am a subscriber, in case that matters.

It's in the Phone manager app. Just says virus scan though, maybe there's more hidden somewhere else

Can't find phone manager let alone the virus program itself. Lol. Any tips ?
I just tried re installation of my t mobile from the Google play store and straight away it came up with the same message.

This one. Not much more i can tell you though. It's stock and I think i even had it on MM.
Not sure why it doesn't show up for you.

Lol found the phone manager , it was under apps. Haha was looking for it under settings.

Pretty sure the warning message is because of the performance and usage monitoring and reporting that's part of the T-Mobile app. I seem to recall that on my older branded phone when you launch the T-Mobile app the first time it comes up with a dialog asking for permission to share metrics, etc. with the carrier.
That's preinstalled and there's nothing you can do about it without rooting on carrier-branded phones, but on an unbranded phone like the Honor 8 it's hopefully not present.

I was using Android Auto before getting the Android 10 update . It continues to work for me now. I would suggest going into system>apps and bring up android auto. Clear the cache and storage and see if that helps.

Is it the app itself, or is it not coming up on your car's screen?
The reason I ask is because you must be plugged into the USB port for the car's screen to work.
