How can I stop TMobile from installing crapware?

I just got my OnePlus 10Pro finally updated to Android 13 this week, and found a few extra T-Mobile bloatware apps on my phone, like AppSelector, Device Manager, Global Search, Kid Space, T-Mobile Diagnostics, T-Mobile Play, and (worst of all) MCM Client.These are all things I don’t need, and am not able to uninstall them.  I can’t even disable most of them.  I can force stop them, but many of them come back.Today, I got a notification from MCM Client that it had installed TikTok on my phone.  I guess it’s good that I was told that T-Mobile installed a major security risk on my phone, and I need this to stop.How can I get this crap off of my phone and be the only person who has control over my phone?  T-Mobile is going to have to pay me an enormous amount of money for me to go along with this.  Unfortunately, I got this phone on a payment plan, and I will never, ever do that again.  It’s not worth the sacrifice of security and privacy.So, how do we get this stopped?

Not sending messages to one person

About 4 months ago everyone was complaining about their text not going through for one person and the number kept saving as SIP: even when you entered a number. The SIP has stopped but I am still having issues with the message sending. It is only happening when I try to text my son who is on the same t-mobile plan as me. Has anyone figured out how to fix this? I have tried everything they suggest in troubleshoot.

Samsung Note 8 SM-N950U doesn't support VoLTE

Dear Team,I own a Samsung Note 8 SM-N950U bought from T-Mobiles when I was in USA. Currently I am in India and post Oreo update the option to turn on/off VoLTE is hidden. Now, when I try to use a sim card from a national network provider called JIO which only works on VoLTE enabled phones, I am unable to make any calls or send sms.When I checked the network status in the phone it says VoLTE is disabled. Kindly tell me if there is a way to enable VoLTE on my device.

Is there a way to turn off the "Calls will be made over Wi-Fi" alert?

My phone (LG-V30) gives me way too many alerts telling me "Calls will be made over Wi-Fi". I seem to get this every time my phone connects to Wi-Fi, and sometimes multiple times when my phone should already be on Wi-Fi. Sometimes I get this alert every few minutes.  I get so many of these alerts I usually ignore alerts from my phone.  This alert is not useful information. The alert comes with a message "tap here to access preferences". If I tap this gives me an option to turn off Wi-Fi calling, but not to turn off the alert.  I've also looked through settings and found options to turn off alerts from apps. I turned off alerts from app "T-Mobile", but this doesn't affect this alert.  None of the other app options seem to apply to this. Is there some other setting to turn off this alert?I know my phone can do WiFi calling, but can it do it silently, and not alert me multiple times a day it's able to do this?

MMS not working with Data off and WiFi on for Samsung Galaxy S20+ (NEW)

So I purchased a new phone and switched from Verizon. Only 2 days later, I noticed that I can’t send a regular basic picture text or Image (MMS) to anyone or receive them while on my Work WiFi and my Data turned off. I can’t even text in a group text that consist of 6 to 7 people? I have always owned Samsung and my previous Galaxy S9+ for 3 years, I have always turned my data off and turn my wifi on and everything ran Smooth. I am needing some help or clarification on whether if this is a T-Mobile thing compared to what Verizon was working for me?  No 1 at the store seems to be of any help or understanding unless they use Samsung. They would just say, they’re an Iphone user and so forth.  I have NEVER had to turn my data on just to send a Picture text or receive and text in group chat (MMS) I have always turned my WiFi on and data off for years and it worked fine until I switched to T-mobile. Please help.

Android 12 SUCKS!!!!!!!!

I’m PISSED!!!! This afternoon my battery died and my phone shut off. Upon restarting it, It was completely different! I have a Oneplus 9Pro and my system is set to manual reset. This is some kind of BULL! How dare you go into someone’s phone and totally reconfigure it without asking permission! You know if the “upgrade” was actually an upgrade and made your device better, but it isn’t! Most of my apps are gone! My phone is completely different, no favorites, my business contacts are mixed with my private contacts, apps have a dot next to them that should not, my business software is not acting right, my texts don’t sound right, I am missing a ton of my texts that are work related and extremely important, my texts that are supposed to be pinned at the top AREN’T, and this is just some of the stuff I recognized. I haven’t even gone through the entire phone yet! I absolutely HATE the way it looks and I HATE the way it operates even more!!! This is insane!!! Now I have to back everything u

IMS service has stopped on Galaxy J7

My Galaxy J7 is giving me this message every couple of minutes, lagging, failing to send messages, etc. I wiped the cache partition, deleted most of my text messages, rebooted in safe mode (didn't fix it), recharging to 100$, updating all my apps, confirming that my phone software is up to date, and visiting the local T-Mobile store where it was suggested that I might want to get a new phone because this one might have a virus. Which I don't believe. I think the next step is a factory re-set, but would I lose anything important by doing that? Any other suggestions?

App Selector

Hi. I simply want to provide feedback saying that I don’t like being forced to go through the App Selector app after upgrading to Android 12. I would much rather buy an unlocked phone than be forced to even look at a list of apps I do not care about. The experience reminded me that I don’t have full control over my device.

One way audio on Android 11

I have a Pixel 4a 5G (bought through TMobile) with wifi calling enabled (prefer wifi).  Sometimes, I cannot hear audio from incoming callers, but they can hear me.  If I disable wifi (forcing the call to cellular) the audio problem is fixed and I can communicate.  Once audio is working on a call, I can re-enable wifi and audio continues working.Multiple people are having this problem, both with Android 11 and now with Android 12.  See this bug:https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/183979330Most of the reports are from people with T-Mobile service.

SMS group text as individual messages and replys only to me

New Samsung 21 5 phone - trying to make it work like my Sansung S10.  I have groups setup that i want to keep private.  When i send a message to the group i want a text to send to each recipient - not a group text.  i don’t want others to see who is getting the same text message.   I was able to do this on my S10 but it doesn’t seem to work on my S21.  I have turned off ‘group conversation’ in multimedia settings and tested it.   It didn’t work and recipents were able to see who else got it and their responses.   Please advise. Theresa Garrison

Galaxy s8+ crackling speakers??

My S8+ recently started making a loud crackling noise. I didn't drop it or get it wet. I know it isn't a hardware issue, because I can open certain apps and hear the crackling even when the volume is all the way down. It mainly happens with videos on Facebook or videos on Snapchat. I've tried the speaker cleaners on youtube, but those didn't work. Also, I just installed the latest software updates and all my apps are up to date. Any ideas?

not receiving texts after porting

I recently transfer over to T-Mobile.  After porting, three out of four lines are working fine.  My daughter’s line (iPhone SX) is unable to receive texts from certain phones (Androids).  We called Apple and T-Mobile, no help.  She has reboot phone, reset settings, reset network, checked blocked numbers, delete current text threads and send new texts.  She can text these people, but she doesn’t receive their texts.  However, if the Android devices owners are in a group with an iPhone owner, she’ll get the group texts.  Please help!!!  We’re not getting much help from the “help services.”  She’s in Medical School and really can’t miss any text messages.
