I'm worried! - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a nexus 6. Its in stock not rooted either. Its strangely weird because I have a tons of app. Including one of them is trusted face, which don't make sense because I don't have face unlock. I feel like I'm getting monitored all the time too.

Where are you looking to see these apps?

In settings>apps>all running apps. I even have a google apps device policy appp. When I don't even work or belong to any organization or what not
And I have 2 Phone app. 1.28mb and 728kb and there's this app called LifetimeData

Those are just system apps, nothing to worry about.

I think there's more to it. Coz whenever I go to chrome then incognito. It even says that I'm not invisible to my employer, organization, internet provider or websites that I visit.

That's how Incognito works. it just prevents the browser from keeping tracking cookies. The network owner can still watch your traffic. It's the same when using Incognito on your computer.

Don't worry... Those are normal system apps and that's how incognito works.

LOL

If you are unrooted I would factory reset and once it boots back up enable security pin and pin on boot up. Should keep you protected from any malware. Also if he or she ( no judgment ) turns off your phone to reboot it you will know.

Install Air Push Detector. That should help you identify it.

I don't know why It does that. I've found if you save the picture you can see it clearly.

Thanks, I downloaded it and the other one he recommends. I get this ad a few times a day so I should be able to pinpoint the app by tonight or in the morning.
If you have a music download app that is the culprit

The app was Retro TD, both airpush and addons detector found it

The only music apps I use are rhapsody (for a year and a half) and Google music (since I got a beta invite months back) , and neither have given me any trouble. The rhapsody app is actually much better than their PC client.
Weird
I can see screenshots fine on the desktop, but when i use the xda app on my phone, they're always blurry, who knows. Sorry to derail.

No problem, the issue was resolved anyway. I don't know why that is, but I have the same problem viewing pics that were posted using the app when I'm browsing on my PC, phone, or tablet. BTW, I used photobucket to post that pic.

Go to http://www.google.com and you should see it. Don't search for anything - it should just be there.

I even have smart voice unlock now too. Sweet.
I see the options but when I go to train my voice it just keeps listening like it not registering sound
I have the smart voice unlock as well but can't train my voice. If I tap theic in google now it hears me.
Anyone else have this issue. Wondering if its another app blocking something.

I don't really wanna clean wipe. Might if I can't get it fixed tho because it would be nice to have. S voice was disabled but I thought maybe it was an issue but its having the same problem. Maybe I froze something else that is needed. I'm gonna keep playing.

It basically shows a preview of any internet url, not sure about webpages that don't have photos. The preview kind of sucks as it's limited but somewhat gives you an idea. That way you don't have to click on the url to figure out what it is if it's not familar to you.
One example, one of my lil brothers used to send me youtube links that were gorey, etc. He knows I don't like viewing them. Now he can't trick me anymore.
Or if you happen to receive spam texts or texts from parties unknown you can get an idea of what the link is instead of having to visit a url that might be harmful. I don't know, I've never received spam texts or from people I don't know but just a thought.
I can see how it can be annoying to some but at least we have the option & can turn it off as desired. To add, the stock Gallery has a new feature I've never seen before (maybe the S8 had it, I don't know). If you take a screenshot of a website it'll include the url so you can visit tge page again in the future. I have it turned on but have not tried it yet.

What's wrong with stock email app?

I don't use this app nor have i ever set it up but it appears to be using resources.

I've uninstalled it.
If you can't uninstall it, then just disable it in the App Manager.
Yeah. Unfortunately anything built in to the system will probably be doing something in the background from time to time. I do use the email app occasionally myself, though I think email is becoming a pretty outdated concept these days with so many other ways to communicate. Sadly though, until our device gets root, the only way to stop this is by disabling the app.

With my N960F I can uninstall it (I can't remember if it's even installed in the first place).
I don't use it just because it ask for admin permissions for any business account added, which I don't want to give, so instead I use Nine.
Can't uninstall it or disable it on Verizon N960U

You'll need to do it with ADB then.

You can use Package Disabler Pro for Samsung from the play store. No root needed for snapdragon at least.
