If you go into the Play Store - Apps - Categories, you will see a Sprint section. Is there a way to get rid of this. I have my phone activated on T-Mobile and it's still there. Is it baked into the OS somehow?
did you initially set up the phone while it was on the sprint network? have you wiped data from the play store app or tried wiping the phone entirely? i'm guessing it's part of the initial setup of the device depending on the network it's on, not something that is hardwired based on serial number or anything.
I believe it depends on what sim you had in the device upon set up. Im about to put my tmobile sim in (have a sprint variant as well) and when i wipe, ill let you know.

Yes I did initally set it up on sprint while i waited for a tmobile nano sim. I havent tried wiping the phone, ill try to clear the data from the play store app
Just to be clear, no bloatware is pre-installed on the Sprint variant. OP is talking about the Sprint apps available in the play store.

Right, I can't attach a screenshot right now but it's under Play Store - Apps - Home (you will see Games and the SPRINT). I don't really care as long as it can be removed when I switch networks. But I feared it was baked in somehow.

Go into apps and wipe data on play store before wiping the phone.... Try easier fix first

Acutally it didn't it came back. I reset the device and it is still there. I think the Sprint Activation may put it there. I'm not sure. No way to get rid of it. I may just root the device.

Here's a pic, It's just annoying. I'd rather they included an app that I could delete than install this in my play store without a way to delete it. Ugh. My Play Store Version is 5.0.38 if that helps.

That's pretty odd. I bought one from sprint. Used it on Sprint for a bit and then switched it to AT&T and my play store now correctly shows AT&T top app picks instead of sprint.
It shows whatever carrier you are on. Nothing new, I'm sure my Evo did this actually.
It does this one all phones. I had a unlocked Korean LG G3 cat 6 and the play store still had the Att tab. It has to do with your Sim card. My Nexus that I bought from moto has the same thing.
Interesting; I don't have such a category in my Play store on my device, and I activated it on Verizon.

One month ago I went to Belgium and my SGS disapeared from my pocket!!!
I had to stop my simcard. I lost every hope to find it again but when I went on the market webpage I saw that my old SGS was still signed in with my Gmail account!!! But now with a different carrier name: PROXIMUS. There are weird apps that i've never installed who are displayed on my google account!!
Maybe there is a method to find my SGS with my google account??
Does anyone have an idea??
Google usually sees the network location !

Did you have any lost phone app installed? If not, make sure you install one on your replacement, phone locator pro is pretty good

There's one on the market that you can install after it's been nicked. If you search where's my droid, then check related apps, you should find it. It's a pay app but I can't remember its name
Try logging in to you google account on market.android.com and find a spy program of some kind and choose to install it, it will be automatically installed on the phone and you might be able to find enough information to track it.
Found it! It's called plan b by lookout. Good luck!
Thank you very much i'm trying those apps now I think it's frightening this guy may use my account!!
Sending You Feedback soon

Currently the Google Play Store is listing the Nexus 7 3G with a AT&T Logo...

Does this mean the N7 w/ 3G will be locked to AT&T, and not available as an Unlocked Device? I certainly hope not!
Okay, Scratched that... Contacted Google Device Support (Actually Got an Intelligent Person this time) and they informed that it will be unlocked, and AT&T is only listed to let buyers know AT&T Service can be used on the Device. (and he hinted at a possible AT&T Data Only plan for the N7)

Scared me too...
but with my experience with Google Support is they are often wrong...
YOu can't even select it now. For me it takes me to a page where it says, "The page doesn't exist on this server" or something.
Remove the _att from the end of the link.
strangely enough the canadian version of those pages don't have that issue. In canada (and likely UK and so on too) it's still the old "unlocked" thing in the selection and it works like it used to with the american before the change.
It is available for sale yet? Neither _att or without it works with a purchase link .
The links are fixed now, but they're out of stock I think.

They haven't started selling yet, so it's not really OOS. Also, I've seen them change the links twice now. It's still slightly broken (ie: if you click on AT&T then 3G again, it gives you an error message about not available in your country).
Any second now.....and it should go on sale......hopefully....
---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------
In stock now in the usa!!!!
It looks like they already sold out, I managed to get in an order of the Nexus 7 w/ the ATT Sim Card, but the device said 'unlocked'. The strange thing is, if you're on the page where it gives the description of the Nexus 7 3G + ATT Sim Page, if you scroll down, you'll see a 3rd Card that lists "Nexus 7 + WIFI + HSPA" w/o the ATT Logo and if you click that one I see that it's "Not available in your country"...

I've read it is Sprints version of "tap to pay"
Speculation: Could be an app that will be required for the sense 6 update to add carrier bloat.

I doubt both of those guesses. It popped up for update on my LG G2. The developer was listed as "Test Account234234". It would be exceptionally unprofessional for any carrier to push an update this way. Yesterday, 4/29 the app was asking for an update. I didn't install it. Today, 4/30 it is not longer on my list.
Here's my wild guess with malicious intent: Someone wrote a program that allows itself to "update" a sprint factory default screen test app. They setup a "test account" with the google play store to see if an app could be pushed to certain model phones and replace the factory app with this version. This particular app was innocuous, but the exploit could be used for more malicious apps since most users blindly update apps.
My wild guess with innocent intentions: Someone at Sprint or a sprint contract developer goofed and sent a test app for update through the play store with the wrong account.

I have a sprint touch app now so yeah... answers that
I bought a LG G4 from my local Boost Mobile shop that was flashed from Sprint. He sold it to me at a very low price of $200 when it was $450 at the time because not even he could figure out why talk/text would work but not data. Wifi works perfect but when I leave my wifi spot or turn wifi off data is non-existent. I bought the phone from him knowing that data didn't work, and at the time I didn't need data, but now I do. It is a cdma phone because I see no slot, after taking the battery out, where a sim card would be inserted. Is there any possible way to get this phone flashed a second time to a full flash from a potential half flash? If so can you please give me a step by step guide, link a definite guide that WILL work, and or, a video that WILL work? Thank you in advance, and hopefully I can get this issue resolved because this phone, although not the latest, is a magnificent mobile device and I would sure hate to have to discard it because I can't get data on the go.
1st of all there is a sim card slot. You were looking in the right spot, by the battery but it's under to SD card slot. Even though it's a CDMA phone data won't work without the sim, and you will only get talk & text. I am assuming there is no sim installed as you would have seen it installed. I would suggest going to a sprint store and getting one (if you have sprint) or whoever you carrier is. A phone is pretty straight forward and ours is no different. There is no such thing as "half flashing" a phone. If you have service but no data then there are only three possibilities: Incorrect APN, profile needs to be updated or no sim. Hope this helps.

Now I got my S10 thru my carrier so spotify wasn't preloaded on my device. I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to redeem this??
Thank you.
I tried on my unlocked S10+ and followed the directions and after clicking the Premium tab there was only a free 30 days. I have never had an account before so I know that wasn't the problem. Anyone else find the same thing?
Worked for me. Att s10+ created an account, clicked on the premium tab and it had the offer for my Samsung device.
Nice find thanks

So you just clicked the premium tab and then what did it state all I see is a 30 day trial. Is your device unlocked or branded?

Mine is an ATT device.
Yes, when I clicked the premium tab it immediately opened a full page ad stating "with your Samsung device you are eligible for 6 months free" or something along those words.
So, looks like it may be a carrier feature that some have not hooked up. I'm used to that from Verizon, used to always lose most incentives.

So I figured it out. Existing subscribers aren't eligible.
I logged out of my account and created a new one. It made me pick 3 artists. After that I got on this screen.
Looks like all you have to do is put a card on file and you are set.
I did a jump upgrade through t-mobile btw. I didn't get this through samsung or buy it outright.
Worked for me as well. New sign up, just asks for a card to bill when the 6 months are up. Never used spotify before, cool of Samsung to offer this
Not here, created new account... 30 days.
Unlocked via Samsung direct.
Spotify not preloaded!
Created a new account 6 months free
If you logged in first with a previous account, log off.
Go to settings, app, search spotify, storage, clear cache and data.
Open spotify, create a new account, go to premium, it should appear the samsung 6 months free now
Damn can we just get 6 months credit if we already have Spotify lol
I've tried everything and it won't work. I have an unlocked version.
