01:43:09 <steve30> hehe
01:56:32 <MrMobodies> Aah stock photos
01:57:04 <MrMobodies> Steve0 have you ever had a Samsung Phone or tablet since 2020?
02:01:13 <steve30> nope
02:01:31 <steve30> only samsung items i have are SSDs and a 20 year old digital camera
02:03:16 <MrMobodies> I was given an ST-725m and I have never been so harassed left right and center
02:04:16 <MrMobodies> Samsng FREE to the left, Samsung Bixby to the right, Samsung Breadboard spammig the notifications everytime I plug it in. ALL wwhich requires I create an account and sign in
02:04:45 * steve30 recommends a hammer
02:04:45 <MrMobodies> It could be disabled or uninstalled before according to threads in 2020 but Samsung greyed those options out
02:04:56 <MrMobodies> and greyed out the nofications
02:05:08 <MrMobodies> Reps in thse forums say "Oh its BAKED in" bullshit
02:05:17 <MrMobodies> I managed to remove the FREE, BIXBY using AMD
02:05:32 <MrMobodies> Steve30 that's how I felt like smashing it up yesterday
02:05:48 <MrMobodies> the problem is, Samsung put these packages under obscure names
02:05:51 <MrMobodies> in ABD
02:06:01 <MrMobodies> making them difficult to find
02:06:07 <MrMobodies> Samsung Free is Spraage
02:06:27 <MrMobodies> it gets better, after unlocking the bootloader
02:06:40 <MrMobodies> oh you void your warranty and oyt your device at risk etc
02:06:47 <MrMobodies> try to install Lineageos
02:06:58 <MrMobodies> Unofficial roms not suppport
02:07:02 <MrMobodies> oh sorry
02:07:31 <MrMobodies> you get a message that only official firmware is supported in the bootloader
02:07:45 <MrMobodies> I initially found a way around it, by setting the date back to 2019
02:08:02 <MrMobodies> Managed to install Linegaoe 22 (Android 15) and I found it terrible
02:08:10 <MrMobodies> lack of options,
02:08:54 <MrMobodies> massive big notification board that cover up the background to reach the the brightness , I have to swipe many times to
02:09:12 <MrMobodies> nothing on there but that is a hinderance turn off
02:09:42 <MrMobodies> I found an older copy of Archive.org but won't allow me to install, "SPL is downgrade."
02:10:08 <MrMobodies> and didn't know how to correctly install the bootloader within the package with odn
02:10:33 <MrMobodies> I found on SAMFW one of the original firmware and OS for the build number
02:10:48 <MrMobodies> but even with the date set back, no unoffical roms
02:11:04 <MrMobodies> I don't think Samsung like's there users anymore
02:11:42 <MrMobodies> Look what they do to their televisions:
02:11:43 <MrMobodies> https://eu.community.samsung.com/t5/tv/why-do-i-get-this-screen-and-how-can-i-stop-it/td-p/11777044
02:11:44 <EEVBot> [url] Why do I get this screen and how can I stop it? - Samsung Community | eu.community.samsung.com
02:23:00 <MrMobodies> Steve30, do you think Samsung has sh*t their users?
02:24:17 <T3sl4> https://imgur.com/gallery/i-like-this-lol-xsVcwmo
02:24:54 <steve30> sounds typical for modern phone/tvs etc
02:26:59 <MrMobodies> I'd be returning it if I brought it
02:27:21 <steve30> my "TV" is now a Windows 7 laptop
02:27:29 <MrMobodies> and no I wouldn't root it which is why I don't buy new things like that
02:27:36 <MrMobodies> good
02:27:41 <MrMobodies> aah a little SYMBOL has appeared
02:28:09 <MrMobodies> near the button area
02:28:13 <MrMobodies> gues what that does?

02:31:36 <MrMobodies> Parent DOWNTALKING to their child in an East middle class accent: "You need APPS on your PC!" F*** OFF Samsung.
02:32:15 <MrMobodies> I use to remove malware from people's stuff in the 2010's
02:32:31 <MrMobodies> now they lock the user out of the filesystem and where they have to use ABD
02:32:41 <MrMobodies> and make it harder
02:33:45 <MrMobodies> It's entrapment, that when you unlock the bootloader, you void the warranty, not receiving OS updates, YET they won't allow to you use OS such as LineagOS other than their own.
02:34:38 <MrMobodies> but they do install App updates which are maleare
02:34:44 <MrMobodies> that's the respect they have to the user
02:35:51 <MrMobodies> coercion and bullying, "it's your fault you did this to the bootloader, we won't now upgrade your device to the latest Android but will continue to install and spam you with malware"
02:36:41 <MrMobodies> whilst trying to stop you from installing Lineagos, what's the point in "OEM unlocking" if they then prevent you from installing "not their own" OS.
02:37:47 <MrMobodies> You could guess why the previous owner gave me it, I don't think they when got it in 2020 they had all that stuff on there
02:38:29 <MrMobodies> 107 packages to look through "com.samsung.android" and I bet it is on of those.

03:36:20 <MrMobodies> Looks like this poster went to great lengths to find out what these services are

09:56:19 <MrMobodies> Hello
09:56:27 <Vampera> Goodbye.
09:56:50 <MrMobodies> I have found what rock the scum was hiding under
09:56:56 <MrMobodies> com.samsung.android.homemode
09:57:11 <MrMobodies> Samsung Daily Board harassment
09:57:33 <MrMobodies> I disabled the service (well that one above) unbeknown that it was the Samsung Daily Board
09:57:47 <MrMobodies> but found when I plug things into it, the service is turned back on
09:57:57 <MrMobodies> Despite being DISABLED in ADB

09:59:04 <EEVBot> [url] Image — Postimages | i.postimg.cc
09:59:23 <MrMobodies> When I plug things in, say a charger, I'd get alerts from that stupid app
09:59:55 <MrMobodies> and a symbol appears at the bottom when clicked either takes you to a sign in page if connected up or says "You need to download the smart things app"
10:00:32 <MrMobodies> Disabling or disabling notifications is greyed out
10:01:07 <MrMobodies> so their coerce the user into, creating an account with Samsung installing a load of crap so they can harassment them with spam in the notifications even more.
10:01:30 <MrMobodies> I am PLEASED I got rid of that harassment
10:05:03 <MrMobodies> Samsung Bread/Bastardboard: (com.samsung.android.homemodes), Samsung Bixby: (com.samsung.android.bixby .*), Samsung FREE (com.samsung.android.app.spage)
10:06:54 <MrMobodies> I think I can rest now, after my rage from night of trying to find the two things hidden under unsuspecting/obscure names.
10:07:41 Quit: rvllama64304213437389673 ([email protected]) Ping timeout: 2 minutes
10:07:41 <MrMobodies> I was about to disable the notification system but I'd need that and that wouldn't be the root cause.
10:08:27 <MrMobodies> oh yes tablet seems to be much more responsive and quicker with the uninstalled and disabled things
10:09:06 <MrMobodies> I don't think I need to bother installing Lineago's equivalent of Android 11

10:13:32 <MrMobodies> Gone
10:13:47 <MrMobodies> Like a breathe of fresh air.
10:13:50 <MrMobodies> Isn't that nice?
10:14:40 <MrMobodies> I can now call it mine and use it for things without the interference or harassment from Samsung and Google.
10:27:27 <MrMobodies> got rid of the miserable built in Gallery and camera and replaced it with Opencamera and AA picture Gallery
10:27:56 <MrMobodies> lets see if I can get rid of the phone, something I am unlikely to use
