[Q] T-Mobile Popup

Anyone get a T-mobile system popup that is basically an advertisement for adding a new plan or changing service? Ive never seen this since all my other phones were running non-standard roms.
I wish i took a screenshot, but id like to disable this if possible; I disabled a bunch of the system bloat, but not sure what that one would fall under.
* I found it; apparently didn't disable myaccount app; must have missed that one; but that is the origin of the popup.

[Resolved] Not getting push notifications? This may help.

While trying to figure out why I wasn't getting my push notifications I noticed that there are a lot of people having this same problem. It doesn't seem to affect just one brand or model of phone. Nor does it seem to be a specific carrier or firmware version. I finally figured out the problem and decided to post this here rather than in the forum for my device. My particular device is a Verizon GS4, rooted, stock firmware, version MK2.
Originally, I had thought it was only Facebook and eBay that I wasn't getting notifications from. It turned out I wasn't getting any of them except text messages and email.
If you are having the same problem, this is why. The problem is that one of your apps is blocking the notifications. For me, it was Yahoo instant messenger. After a whole day searching and trying every solution I could find, I finally just started uninstalling apps that get push notifications. Once I uninstalled YIM I knew instantly that I had found the cause because I got about 20 push notifications, they were all the ones which I hadn't received. It really wasn't until then that I realized just how many apps I wasn't getting notifications from.
The app that's causing you to not receive your notifications may or may not be YIM. It more than likely will be an app which you downloaded and installed, as opposed to one preinstalled on the phone.
My suggestion would be to go through your apps and uninstall, one at a time, any apps you've installed which receive push notifications. More than likely, you will instantly get some notifications when you find the one causing the problem. Once you find the faulty app, you should be able to reinstall it without a problem. If you reinstall it and the problem returns, you will at least know where to begin looking for a solution.
If your problem is only with a specific app, then you may need to check your settings for that particular app. With, for example, the Facebook app, if you uncheck the messages box in settings, you will only get push notifications during certain times. So that may be your problem if its just Facebook. Or similar if its a different app.
I hope this actually helps someone. Any questions, I'm subscribed and I will respond right away.

I had the same problem, reset the device..
Helped me...

i did that too!!!

Resetting helps as well. Huawei has aggressive memory management.

Can you please explain what you mean by 'resetting'?
As in a full factory reset, then side-load say Skype from apkpure, then notifications are all ok? That seems hard to believe.
I have a new P40 Pro, installed Skype (never tinkered with GMS) and notifications do not work.

I have a Chinese Mate 30 Pro 5G and since March no GMS installed (they worked perfectly when I bought the phone in November last year, the seller installed them, but stopped working at some point in March - out of no reason and I haven't been able to get them working properly again since then) - Skype notifications DO NOT work. No matter what. Factory reset doesn't help, battery optimisation disabled doesn't help, keeping it working in the background doesn't help, nothing really helps ... I found out that installing the app from Amazon Appstore (the version there actually looks like Skype Lite) makes the situation a bit better - at least notifications work for some 10-15 minutes after you open the app, but then stop working again even if the app is still running in the background. So forget about being available for a skype call ... you will most probably miss it and get no notifications until you open the app again.
I've tried installing GMS again lately (by several methods), but then even less notifications worked ... And also, since updating to EMUI 10.1.0.126 it's difficult to use the Lzplay, once you get it working, you can't uninstall Google Play Sevices unless you do a factory reset of the phone – so you won't be able to follow the latest instructions for installing the Google services on your phone).
In case you're wondering - without GMS, the situation with notifications for messaging apps on my phone is the following (my use of the messaging apps below is mostly work related):
-Messenger (installed from APK Pure): works 99%, sometimes the notifications for messages are a bit delayed (for a few minutes), but receiving a call always works
-Skype: as described before, but only when installed from Amazon Appstore, the usual Skype app gives no notifications
-Viber (installed from App Gallery): mostly works, sometimes notifications are delayed (up to 1 hour)
-WhatsApp (Installed by direct download link in the App Gallery): the only app that works with no issues at all (I always get all notifications instantly)
-Slack (installed from APK Pure): no notifications at all
-Teams (installed from APK Pure): no notifications at all
-Instagram - messaging (installed from APK Pure): no notifications at all
For emails I use Outlook and I mostly get all notifications instantly or there is a slight delay (a few minutes) – I use it for all my email accounts (Exchange, Gmail, Outlook …).
Honestly, considering how many apps just don't show any notifications, I'm slowly getting to the point of loosing it. A phone worth 1k€ that can not be used as a real smart phone ... It's really a big frustration. I didn't think it would be, but it simply is. Don't get me wrong – I really LOVE Huawei phones, especially the Mate series, but … On the other hand – beside Gmail account (which is not my primary email account but I still use it), I don't use or need (and I never have) any of Google apps or services (I was a Windows Mobile user before my first Android/Huawei experience, so believe me, I never needed any of the Google »****« in my life), but in case Huawei doesn't find a solution for such basic apps that are used widely in the western world, I don't think they will be able to keep us users loyal to their brand.

getting the same problem i have the chinese version of the device so annoying

can you help us ?
thank you.

Prevent hack

Im keep being hacked by my genius software engineering malignant narcissistic. I've bought over 15 different phones from different carriers and used fake registration info. However, they get hack in 30 mins. I know the fontserver app was remotely downloaded Over the Air because of other apps that are installed to help that process. For ex; GNSS Air Test, Gnss Test 1.2, fused location, gnss log level setting, LAOP test. V1.93, entitlement checkservice , FOTA update, secure ui service, teeservice, dynamic syatem update, hidden menu, hidden operator, G-DEC, GCUV, etc...mobile service apps to install the spyware. From my understanding, all is needed is a phone number to where app is downloaded OTA. Here's the kicker... With every new phone I dont even setup a google acct or call anyone and it get hacked.
So please anyone share your theories or anything about this . i need to stop this bs. Theyve gang stalked me broke in my house numerous time vandalized, hacked my friends and their families threatening them with death threats and non stop harassing calls to my cell and house phones.
So i just need some kind of inkling how this can happen. Sincerely yours truly

Sorry to hear this is happening to you. It is also happening to me by my soon to be ex who is already by ex. I keep being told to buy another phone and I don't because I figure the same would happen to me and the new phone will just get hacked as well by whomever she got to do this to me. I created a post today asking for help, but due to the lack of replies to your post I guess I better not hold my breath that anything can be done. Did you find a resolution to stop from being hacked?

Better check yourself...

There's plenty you can do. Most devices get compromised because the user did something stupid.
Not always but part of not being stupid is acting as soon as unusual behavior is noticed. Find the cause asap.
Factory reset if you highly suspect being hacked and reset all passwords.
I've been running outdated and unpatched stock Androids for years with no breaches that ever required a factory reset or reflash to purge. It could happen but in practice if you don't do stupid things... it doesn't happen.
Downloading any unvetted files or apks even a jpeg can do it. Do not side load anything unless completely vetted. Lock down install unknown files globally and locally for all apps especially browsers unless you need to sideload. Check those settings at least once a month... and enable them as soon as a sideload is done.
I don't use wifi and keep bt off when not being used. I check my download folder daily for crap I didn't download and for any strange behavior.
All email is kept in the cloud... email and texts are prime perpetrators.
Don't click on anything unknown, delete or close the window. Keep all trashware apps off the device including FB, Twitter, WhatsApp etc.
Scan app permissions, know what's running at startup and why/what's accessing the internet.
Listed System Administrators, who's your daddy?
The list goes on but you get the idea...

Question I'm so lost

Motorola stylus 5g (2022)
I'm sorry to come here but I appreciate your help. I know the basics but not the inside of the phone. I had to get a new phone so I got a new number. I got the Motorola stylus 5g (2022). Free through Metro T-Mobile. Try to restart it a couple of times. I'm just wondering is it normal to have 440 system apps on your phone. I'm trying to sign in on my backup but not downloading the extra apps. Then I feel like it's throwing third party apps in there and there's so much crap on there and I'm just so confused and I don't understand why it's so difficult. I ran a test and it had system apps from Android 6th through 11. I think is odd but I could be wrong. I try to stay away from Google but I do sign in with a Gmail account that I don't use anymore. I was trying to get all my stuff moved over and saved on a different iCloud. I have a couple of reports I did if it's helpful I could try to send them. I try to keep Google out of my privacy but I know that's impossible if you have anything lying around. Maybe that's what's messing it up. Also this phone is supposed to be a 4G but it's connecting to five UC T-Mobile which is I know.
I'm pretty detailed oriented and I'm can follow directions easily but I don't always explain myself well.

I have noticed that my Pixel 5 automatically downloads Verizon apps after a factory reset, even though I've never used any of them. It's definitely possible in your case. However, they install as "user" apps, not system apps.

First off disable auto update in the Google store,
Second you should be able to go under settings and apps and disable all those unwanted apps you won't be able to remove them but you might be able to disable them.
As far as your connection type to the cell towers the phone might need to be reprovisioned or your APN is wrong.
You can try *#*#4636#*#* and make sure your band select is on auto there might be an active provisioning key near the bottom you can try using that too.
Sad to say since Motorola mobility was bought out by Lenovo and then the Chinese it's become one big trash heap
You should try to unlock your bootloader I believe it's 160 days of service I may be wrong and root it give you a lot more control over all that pre-installed stuff.

"Sad to say since Motorola mobility was bought out by Lenovo and then the Chinese it's become one big trash heap!"
This right here is right on it!I wouldn't buy a MediaTek device if it was the last device on earth!They're slow,and constantly have freezing issues!Tablet issues were the worst!

Moto phones are relatively clean, they only really come with gapps, carrier apps, and Facebook.
When you do the initial setup and sign in with a Google account, it will queue up a bunch of Google apps. You can stop the download from the Play Store or just uninstall them afterward.
MCM Client(check through your installed apps, MCM are the two with the icon of a queen chess piece) will enable any carrier apps and queue any that are not already baked into the rom. These can all be uninstalled or disabled.
You can also uninstall Facebook, but it has some hidden packages as well. Go into Settings -> Apps -> See All, select the three dot menu at the top right an press 'Show system apps', and search for 'meta'. There will be 'Meta App Installer', 'Meta App Manager', and 'Meta Services' that all can be disabled.
5GUC is T-Mobile's extended 5G network. If you just want 4G, go into Settings -> Network & internet -> Mobile Network and disable the toggle for 'Allow 5G'. It's normal to have a bunch of apps. Most of them are part of Android, customizations and apps added by Motorola, radio support libraries, and carrier support apps. Nothing to really worry about.
